[quote name='ninja dog']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.[/QUOTE]

So you pickin' that shit up on the PS triple or the 360? If you're getting the 360 version, I'm not going to be playing with you.

I'm a little annoyed that the only thing in the CE that isn't retarded is the DLC stuff... so I've gotta find out soon what exactly that DLC noise is.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Miyamoto needs to wake the fuck up if he thinkings that shit like Wii Music or Wii Fit is qualitatively on the level of even something as shitty as Turok..[/quote]Thing is, they had a plan to market a product to a huge, non-hardcore gamer and even non-gamer audience. They're hitting that mark. What's frustrating to the hardcore gamers and even just Nintendo fans is that we know the great games they and Miyamoto specifically can do, but they're developing entertainment software and not the games we crave.

[quote name='refusedchaos']hey, has any1 seen the anime Overman: King Gainer? good or bad?[/quote]I happen to love it. But that doesn't mean it's good, I just like Gain Bijou.

Honestly? It's an okay story with some likable characters and some fun moments. Just do yourself a favor, don't watch with english dubbing. Our good friend Tony Oliver does a much better job voicing Lupin than he does directing. Trust me on this.

[quote name='Kendal']I am thinking of changing my appearance here on CAG. I have three choices.[/quote]Honestly? Please keep your avatar as is. It's you.

Picked up And Then There Were None used at EB with this weeks coupon. I HATE dreamcatcher/ the adventure company. I keep wanting their adventure games to be at least decent and they're always ALWAYS just HORRIBLE. And whats with changing it from Ten Little Indians & Indian Island to Ten Little Sailorboys and Shipwreck Island? Wtfork is that about?

Naw, I know Nintendo's in it to make money and obviously the money is where the know-nothings are, as it is in most industries. But I think the statement in the post I was referring to had Miyamoto claiming that his Wii-Shit games are better than other games. And that just isn't true.
 
So I started Dragon Quest Swords. A lot more fun than I expected. Though as usual, the "stab" function of the Wii Remote doesn't actually work. Bring on the Wii Remote patch MotionPlus!

Someday when I'm bored enough, I'm writing an SO3 anti-review.

Being PC; the novel itself was similarly modified somewhere along the line.

And "Indian" isn't the original word either, so it's not without precedent.
 
Time to rip into Bourne Conspiracy 360, my free rental from Family Video. It's fun if you are looking to hand out some beatdowns. If I made games, I'd make a Shenmue-esque game that plays like it, minus the guns.

Probably the 360 version...I'm worried about the netcode with the PS3 version (since Tekken takes such a huge hit with voice chat on.) Inu claimed it would be the same netcode for both versions, but I
think Live will be better for online.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Like 45 paragraphs of it exist. I think TMK said he spent like 14 hours writing it or something...[/quote]

Yes then we started to comment on it's quality. While not being direct, the true meaning we were trying to convey was 'stop writing, just post pictures'.

Good day GGT!

CAG FIGHT CLUB
 
I've been playing some Lego Indy with my brother today, so I have 2 Gamefly rentals out thanks to me reporting it lost, and then it came a day later. I'm going to send it back once I beat it. Temple of Doom has kinda pushed my patience a bit thus far. At least it's better than Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. That game...it's hard and annoying.
 
OMG!

Just traded in (all 360 except FF) - Eternal Sonata, Viva Pinata, Monster Madness, Fantastic Four (Wii), Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Saint's Row for $67.

I thought the Hori EX2 stick was going to be $60 and the guy pulls it from the back and it's only $40! So I snagged the Virtua Fighter 5 stick (It is just the Hori EX2 but comes with a VF5 sticker set), a 1600 point card, and almost $7 on Madden 09 (360) for nothing.

Just pulled the EX2 out of the box and this thing is godly. I'm going to be all over the XBLA now.

Only question is how to get it to work in Mac OS X?

Thinking about picking up DOA4 too.
 
Help me GGT!

Just got my first ever HDTV. Got it all hooked up, but when I'm watching TV, a lot of things seem to be extended past the edge of the screen (people's heads get cut off, captions at the bottom, things on the very edge). What's up, how can I fix this shiznit?

What HDTV did you get?
 
Hey GGT.

I'm on ACT 5 in MGS4 right now. :D Act 4 was
extremely epic
. Hopefully I beat the game by the end of the month.

I also decided to post DDR videos of me playing in my blog (like I did for SingStar videos a few weeks ago). , since I was in a DDR mood.

I played the Phantasy Star Portable demo, but it was too Japanese (had trouble figuring it out a bit). I hope it gets an English release.
 
[quote name='EXStrike']Pic[/QUOTE]

Cool.

I hope it's better than Secret Rings though...and that you don't actually have to use the sword he's holding.
 
Looking for some advice GGT, my Dad wants to pick up one of the Laptop deals at Walmart tomorrow morning.

It's one of those 10 per store jobs, if they open at 8am, any idea what time we'd have to get in line at?

Any comments ?

Commodore 64.

Edit - That cover reminds me that Bangai-O Spirits is meant to be pretty good.
 
I don't know what Sega's thinking anymore. Also, made a new blog post, this one about taking care of your games.

Now.

People show up to those in mobs.
 
Wow, that Sonic game looks like shit. No, I haven't seen it or played it, but I saw Sonic in the title, so I know I'm not wrong.

But Chrono Trigger DS info excites me.

Find the feature that lets you stretch out the picture... it's probably set to zoom in on the picture. Change it to normal, or whatever it is that doesn't stretch the picture out. You'll have black bars on the sides for 4:3 material, but that's how it should be. People who stretch the picture out aren't worth talking to.
 
TMK. Damn you've played DDR way more than me... but I'll roll you up in DDR and I haven't played in like 6 years.

hahaha... I used to play in the ARCADE dayz.

ARCADE GAMERZ STAND UP

/WAITS FOR JEKKI and kainzero to start doing flares on the DDR machine...
 
[quote name='ninja dog']what does one jump after they have jumped all the sharks in the world?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='ninja dog']Prince of Persia gameplay:

I wish they could develop two versions-- the mellow version the trailer promised and the version tailored to joe average that this gameplay vid shows.[/QUOTE]

I still think the gameplay looks like it'll be great, but yeah, I wish there were more methodical, pure adventure games... like SOTC. I know it makes me an elitist to say it (not that it's stopped me before), but fuck Joe Sixpack. That stupid-ass exists solely to bring down a product's quality.

yeah, I'm pretty sick of accepting the compromises every dev makes for Bobby Bestbuy. The line of thinking is just so obvious: "if we give him a Persian accent or, god forbid, have them speak the language, Johnny fuckface will think he's talking like a terrorist."

Yeah, I talked him out of it, fecked if I'm standing in line at Walmart on a Sunday morning, or any other time.

I think that's what had me so pissed off about the E3 press conferences. Granted, my blood was not boiling as much as the sheer number of expletives I used would indicate, but it's just frustrating to see game after game that has an interesting concept, but gets dumbed down for [insert moron here]. Obviously devs are trying to run a business, but c'mon... they've gotta throw us a bone at some point.

Hopefully Platinum Games' stuff really will be as straight-up as it looks.
 
A ha, I think I discovered why there's no hitflashes in Metal Slug games on the Wii... supposedly, Nintendo has a policy saying you can't have flashes in your games. fuck the epileptic seizure havers.

On a side note, I'm thinkin' about bustin' out that SNES.

But I'll probably just play TC New Blood.

I also need to WD-40 this chair.

Hopefully Vol. 3 of Le Chevalier D'Eon will be here soon so I can get through more of that series. It's soo good.
 
I guess maybe tomorrow we can kick some shell in a GGT sponsored TMNT '89. I am going to see The Dark Knight. I played some Aegis Wing and Uno and no balls were shown, thank god. Now that I have this big ass tv, I just don't want to see it even more.
 
[quote name='heavyd853']Is that the one about the French dude who pokes people with his rapier or something?[/QUOTE]
The French dude that turns into a girl, then pokes people with his rapier.
 
I'm trying to play through Fatal Frame 1 for the first time... but I'm a big sissy so I'm not sure how long I'll last.
 
So here's how the first drivning level (taxi cab) of Alone in the Dark has gone.

1 - I drive down the street, make a jump, get hit by a flaming car after I land. Okay, my bad.
2 - I make a big jump, then as I land the ground leaps out and attacks me. What. I die.
3 - I make that jump, but hit a truck the size of my car. As I desperatly hold in the gas, the truck forces me all the way down the road and we both plunge into the chasm I just jumped.
4 - A car hits me as I'm about to go over the jump. I don't make it and die.
5 - I'm heading for a tiny opening, which leads to a road where you have to drive on one slanted side and avoid the chasm on the other. I hit a car which is also driving through the narrow opening, and it gets stuck on the front of my car. I end up in the chasm.
6 - I'm outrunning an ever-growing chasm in my car. I crash into a big grouping of useless NPC cars and get killed by that chasm.
7 - I make it over a jump, and a flaming car immediantly hits me from off-screen and forces me into the chasm.
8-11 - All very similar to 6.

fuck this.
