[quote name='pete5883']I think someone needs to lock my wallet up. I saw TRU.com is accidentally doing B1G1 on PS3 games, so I bought Oblivion GOTY, and then Heavenly Sword just to get something.[/quote]

wat. Did this end already? I want Civ Rev. >_<

Oh wait, it's OOS online. :p

Edit: Damn, looks like they fixed it and 2nd item is half off. I would've considered this deal if both of the only two games I wanted were in stock: Bad Company and Civ Rev. Or if pre-orders qualified for the deal. :p

[quote name='Chacrana']The theater was basically full at 10AM for Dark Knight. There was this fatass who sat behind me (I named him Jabba) and he breathed really loudly to support his worthless existence... luckily it stopped after a while. When he got up at the end, I felt my seat fall back. I guess he took up a lotta space.[/QUOTE]
I just got back from seeing it. It was quite awesome.
 
I won't get to see Dark Knight until maybe Sunday. :/

And as much as I want the new Tomb Raider game to be good, I dunno. The latest clip I saw had Lara shooting sharks...underwater. And then she fights an octopus. Oh boy. I'm sad there wasn't an Uncharted 2 announcement. :(
 
The guy backed up firing guns underwater with a fact that certain 9mm guns can fire underwater, but are woefully inaccurate. But apart from that all, the game looks really, really good. The last two games were excellent, so I have high hopes.

If there's an Uncharted 2, I don't want it unless they fix the damn combat.

It wasn't broken to begin with.
 
It's mainly a timing issue. The timing boxes in Uncharted are a bit too small. I hope they fix the gunplay because when I aim, duck back behind cover and aim again, in Uncharted, when I aim again, my cursor is at another place on screen, even if I don't move it.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']I'll readily admit the trailer for the fourth game had potential.

Star Ocean 3 is still ebola on a DVD.[/quote]
you still don't like star ocean 3?

didn't you read TMK's review?



oh.
yeah. i see why. =)

if you haven't played SO2 though, you should. i love the skill system in that game.

I did play Star Ocean 2, but I couldn't really get into it. Something about that battle system annoyed the crap outta me. I think it mighta been the AI teammates that did that again. Well, I'm tempted to check it out when it hits the PSP if they improved that aspect of the game.

Any idea if the original Star Ocean is good?

And the issue that I have with Uncharted's gunplay is that it's noticeably less polished than the exploration stuff. I didn't wanna shoot people, I just wanted to run around and shit... and that's just not right.

I think it takes a while to learn the battle system and really get into it. Without skills the battles are sloooooow. The voices get kinda annoying though. TEAAARRRRR INTO PIECES! SOUTHERN CROSS! TEAAAARRRRR INTO PIECES!

Unlike other people though, I could deal with ToS's Colette saying Angel Feathers over and over again. Her voice was so cuuuuute~

I thought the first Star Ocean was kinda boring. I dunno. I just wasn't feeling it. It does make Star Ocean 2 a bit better though since you get background on the supporting characters.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I agree with this. Uncharted was awesome.[/quote]

Thirded. Gunplay can be improved for the sequel, but I didn't feel it was broken.

I thought they did a pretty fair job of balancing the puzzles and exploration with the shooting and action elements, too. I think the only things that didn't feel quite right were the completely random quick time events and the
Indiana Jones-eque supernatural fantasy elements
towards the end. Not only were those
zombie enemies
out of place, but they were annoying as shit.

As for Tomb Raider, I'm keepin' an eye on that one. That is one game I hope has more exploring and puzzling than shooting or combat. I've always questioned those action bits throughout the entire TR series, actually--I gotta shoot dogs and dinos in this adventure? This ain't no Cabela's Big Game Hunt. Never understood that shit.
 
Uncharted had pretty graphics and that had me psyched for a few hours. wasn't really compelled to finish it though. needs more platforming.
 
Lol Chac, trying to start a GGT to make me angry (since I'm a HUGE SingStar and Star Ocean fan)? ;) I will be getting Lips most likely, but SingStar Volume 2 will probably be first (since I can re-use all my DLC, which is TOO much).

I made gaming YouTube videos. You'll hear about them later.

Haven't played a game yet today, but about to play Warhawk.

SCREEEEEEN! MIRROR SLICE! POISON PILLZ! IT LOOKS LIKE I"LL BE POPULAR WITH THE LADIES AGAIN! How can you hate Star Ocean 2's voice acting? That game made it go from the 80% to the 90% It's that good.
 
Heya GGT!! It's been a pretty fun birthday. The Dark Knight was full of awesome. We went at around 11:30 this morning, and the theater was only about half-full, so I didn't have any bad audience experiences. Then we sneaked into Hellboy 2, which wasn't as awesome, but still a great movie I thought.

Now I'm gonna just chill with a rum&coke, watch some new Monk, maybe play a little FFX, and have a pleasant evening with my girl. Life is good.
 
oops, happy b-day krymner.

I was just watching the E3 Bonus Round on gametrailers and am pretty curious if Pachter is right about Wii 2 HD edition coming out next year. I really don't want to go through that whole trying to get a Wii console BS again, but I admit I'll want one if it does get announced. :p

And TGS will hopefully have all that hardcore game news from Nintendo that they didn't bother with at E3...

Oooh, thanks for that. I was just looking for some new footage of Yakuza 2 today and didn't find any. And it's only $30? I woulda paid $50, but I'd definitely like to pay $30 instead.

Day 1 purchase.

And happy b-day, Krymner.
 
I got Secret of Mana and it seems like a bad cart. I have to on average turn it on 3 times before it will boot. I might send it back. I didn't pay $30 for broken shit. The game is fun.
 
I keep forgetting about both Final Fantasy IV and Soul Calibur IV. And Izuna 2, but forgetting that is more forgiveable. I'm tired as fuck. I think I'll play Trauma Center: New Blood.
 
Soul Calibur IV is next week? bah... I guess I'll go trade some games in towards it. I'll hold off on FFIV for a week or so since I already pre-ordered Izuna 2.

Edit: No it's the 29th... my dates are mixed up. But I'll go into Gamestop in the morning and trade some games in towards it. I think they have some deal going on to get some extra credit towards the game.
 
The battle voices in SO2 were pretty lulzy.

[quote name='EXStrike']Nintendo isn't even going to TGS, IIRC.[/QUOTE]

Nintendo never goes to TGS. They had Spaceworld, now I think they just whip up their own show around the same time.
 
Alan Wake to be there at TGS.

And it has been confirmed the games we burn to the hard drive are going to be the entire disc not a compressed copy on 360. That sucks 4-5GB for every game and I am closing in on 30 retail games right now.

SCIV day one for me. I just haven't decided if the LE is worth it yet. Mayhaps I'll change my preorder over. . .

This week I played fighters, modded my DC stick, played more fighters and some drums, and found out that my launch day DC is starting to hate playing discs. I just have to put it on its side until it starts playing the disc, then it's fine. Oh well, that's why I have 2. ;)

I also saw the Dark Knight earlier at 3.45 pm. It was pretty sweet. I even saw it in Imax, since it seemed like one movie that was worth paying extra for. Plus having a friend that was willing to drive the 45 minutes to the Imax theater helped too. :)

Just got back from The Dark Knight. Kinda long, but it was awesome! It's pretty crazy how many showings they had for today and most of them were sold out.

I'm excited to see how much money it makes for its opening weekend.
 
I am thinking of changing my appearance here on CAG. I have three choices.

This guy is saying "You gotta fuckin' problem wit dat?"

One of my friends made this. It was supposed to be me.

This was one of my first photo shop experiences. I used to use it a lot.

Feedback would be awesome. I played some Wii Fit today. My Wii Fit age is 29. Not too bad. Only 2 years off. Well I am 6 months from my b-day. It is fun. I really like the Ski Jumping event. The soccer one doesn't work for me for some reason. oh well. I wish they would make a bigger board. My feet stick off the ends.
 
[quote name='gunm']Normally, I wouldn't be interested in a dumbed down port, but maybe Dead Rising Wii will actually streamline and ultimately improve the game? Anyway, I'm very intrigued and might pick this up if the price is right.

Same here, but it seems they are fixing a few things i complained about a few posts ago. So I'll definitely keep an eye on this port.

Alan Wake isn't a game and it never has been. I will not believe it's a game until they show what the damn thing actually is.

Anyway, I'm still getting SC IV LE most likely for the "exclusive DLC"... whatever the hell it might be.
 
Actually, what the hell does exclusive DLC even mean? Is it like... if I don't get the LE, I can't ever get that DLC, or is it just a code so I don't have to pay for it? Because I'd rather not pay extra for a stupid box and t-shirt that I won't wear.
 
Didn't MarkMan say something about the exclusive DLC being CAS parts you won't be able to get anywhere else?

Anyway, I have the PS3 LE preordered.
 
[quote name='willardhaven']I would love to see Mana Knight's review of Star Ocean 3... does it actually exist?[/quote]
yeah he posted it one on of the GGTs

it was really long and said the same thing over and over

"i like young protagonists. fayt is a young protagonist. i like fayt because i can closely relate to him. i cried after the first 5 minutes of the game when he was separated from his friend. the battle system is good. i like the battle system because it is good."

I thought I read that you could buy the dlc on XBL/PSN, but I haven't been paying that close of attention to the game.


Wish it was coming out this week instead of on the 29th. fucking august is going to be insane for me with moving and other stuff.

Like 45 paragraphs of it exist. I think TMK said he spent like 14 hours writing it or something...
