[quote name='daroga']Is it just me or does Motorstorm start out really freaking difficult? It took me like 6 tries to get just to 2nd place on the first race. Most racing games you could get a AAA+++ rank by driving backwards on the first race. Maybe the concept of how to drive a rally race hasn't gotten through to my brain yet.[/quote]MotorStorm is really hard at first, no doubt about it. The reason I had no issues at first was because I played the demo religiously for 2-3 months until I received my copy. There's no denying the game is tough, and will get tougher. Once you figure it out though, it becomes a lot easier and you'll start to get first place.

While we're on the subject, who the heck designed the SIXAXIS? I have issues with the analog placement, but far worse than that are those triggers. The triggers are the only way I play racing games on the 360; I have to use face buttons on the PS3 since my fingers cramp up and slip off those idiotic convex buttons. Ugh.

It varies by racing game in my case. I play Burnout and NFS Carbon with triggers (the triggers on the PS3 controller are different, but I do not have issues using them), but most racing games I still prefer the traditional X for gas (like MotorStorm, Ridge Racer 7, DiRT, Foruma One: CE, GT games, etc.). I dunno, I've been playing racing games on PlayStation forever and it's what I stick to. But I will admit, the triggers are my least favorite feature of the SIXAXIS (everything else I like). I hear the DS3 is a bit better though.

Let's see... what else to complain about. Oh, is there a way to turn off the music part of the XMB? I'm getting really irritated turning on the machine to watch a movie and having whatever the top demo on my list is blaring its stupid little tune (seemingly 10x louder than anything else on the system).

Like whoknows says, you can sort XMB content into folders (by pressing the Square button). Although for me personally, I kind of like the animations and sounds since they give my content life. :) I sometimes leave them running on my PS3 (like the one for SSD HD, R&C Future when I had the demo, etc.). You will only hear the music if you scroll to the go under the folder and just leave it there. If you want peace and quiet and don't want to adjust the folder, just place the game portion of the XMB on the memory card, saved data, or game data utility while idle.
 
[quote name='blueshinra']So where was Genesis in the original FFVII, then?

Also, the "true" Nibelheim flashback can be seen in FFVII, when Cloud and Tifa are in the Lifestream.[/quote]
Was the spoiler really that bad?

I thought it was alright, in fact, maybe even cooler when I played through it. *shrug* Although frankly the whole thing is setting up an FF7 remake anyway...
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Oh it's true, and far from the worst thing I've seen someone try to trade in.[/QUOTE]

Well you can't leave us hanging. Explain!
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Well you can't leave us hanging. Explain![/QUOTE]
I'd say about 30-40% of all consoles people attempt to trade in have been pissed on by a cat multiple times. I don't know why, but I get one of these at least twice a week.

There was the one time a lady, who smelled like she just smoked a rock, tried to trade in a GBA that I'm pretty sure had dog shit on it.

And my favorite, the dog guy. He tried to trade in a filthy Xbox and PS2, both smelling like dog ass and covered with so much dog hair I had to vacuum the rug after he left. This one only happened like 4 days ago. The guy asked me why I wouldn't take the stuff and I told him: "Because it looks and smells like garbage. Now get it out of here."

Only one more year of school and I can leave...
 
jeez, the neogaf Lost Odyssey thread is making me want the game.

Any of you guys pick it up? impressions plz. or i could just check out the official thread. sometimes I forget there are other threads :oops:
 
I needsta play my other neglected RPGs before I play Lost Odyssey. Resisting is hard. . .

I just placed my speaker order. Can't wait to get that shit Monday and put it together. :)

I also can't wait to wake up tomorrow and play some DMC4.
 
'possum,

Any interest in Sins of a Solar Empire?

Its quite good you should check it out if you like 4x games.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I also can't wait to wake up tomorrow and play some DMC4.[/QUOTE]

Awesome game says I.

Not really. I've never really played an RTS though.

hmmm...seems like the next big PC game i'm interested in will be Mass Effect. Aside from Audio fucking Surf this Friday!
 
I'll check it out, but it seems more advanced. I need a "My First RTS Game" RTS.


also, does this whole "20 hours of gameplay, 20 hours of cutscenes" thing hold true for Lost Odyssey? That was burned into my head from that PR remark, but I haven't seen much mentioned about it since then.

I mean, 20 hours of gameplay would be pretty ridiculous for 4 freaking discs.

Can't say yet, need to play it more. But from what I played, it doesn't have any more cutscenes than any other RPG.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']yay! high chances Home is coming next week![/QUOTE]
Hopefully my stuff from the beta carries over without me having to redo it. My house is ballin'! I got hentai pics all over the place.
 
[quote name='whoknows']You should be excited :p

I know. I'm excited. I'm going to blast through it in one sitting, maybe 2. ;) Then I'mma let my friend play it. He wants to buy it, but he's going to wait until he gets some money. We buy a variety of games and let each other borrow them. We play a lot of games this way. If I really love a game, I'll buy it. I recently borrowed his Uncharted, which was great. I'll be picking that one up down the line.

Home's actually coming soon? I'll have to set up my Casa de Pr0n.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']yay! high chances Home is coming next week![/QUOTE]

I heard Home is only ok, but can't complain about free.

More important is in game XMB. Has Sony said anything about that yet?
 
lol @ your trade-in horror stories, Rei. I was just @ GS during lunch to move my pre-order from DMC4 (which I picked up @ CC instead) to SSBB and Mario Kart Wii. I can't believe these stories as I try to keep my stuff minty fresh and clean. The only exception was my SNES which just seem to discolor on it's own like a chameleon with OCD.

Oh yeah, I was really tempted to pick up Lost Odyssey myself, but I managed to restrain myself. If the thing hits $20-30 though....
 
as for Home only being mediocre, I'm looking forward too it very much since it taylors what I loved in MMOs...

when I played Final Fantasy XI back a few years I spent all my money on decorating my home and only doing missions that would make my home better looking. I screwed myself over that way, but I was happy. Damn furniture isn't cheap! Heck, I even won a contest my guild threw for whoever had the best home design.
 
To break up the routine a little, I jumped back into my "Renegade" Mass Effect playthrough. Then I tried the Poker Smash demo--kind of fun actually. I was very tempted to pick it up, but I went for the Metallica pack for Rock Band instead. Gotta make sure I have enough points for SSFIITHD, whenever the hell that comes out.

I should mod my RB drum controller so I can play it at night. :p

An FFVII remake will come around eventually (for better or for worse, whether people want it or not). However, I bet it won't happen until FFV and FFVI get their turns.
 
Possum if you want a my first RTS I would recommend Command and Conquer 3.
Its very lite and basic without much micromanagement.

Sins has a very lite RTS element though. Its mostly like Civ in real time.
 
[quote name='whoknows']I heard Home is only ok, but can't complain about free.

One reason for the Home delay was because Kaz was not happy with the initial progress of it and wanted to fix it (which was the same as the closed beta). The new images show a massive overhaul. However, I did come across a comment on Three speech a while ago (The semi-official blog for Europe) saying Home was 5 months behind scheduled, which is why I'm thinking it may not come until September. But we'll see overall.

I'm probably going to play some DMC4 today, since I kind of feel like DMC4. Debating whether I'll open CoD4 today.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']Final Fantasy VI > Final Fantasy VII[/QUOTE]I completely disagree. I like FFVI, but just didn't like it as much as FFVII, FFIX, and FFX. In some ways I may like FFIV more, but then again, it was the first RPG I ever played and still really like it.
 
OK. Im not getting Ace Combat 6, RADIOHEAD TICKETS ON SALE THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuckKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish me luck on getting tickets.

I really need to check out their new record...I hear its somewhat a return to form because honestly I've hated everything past Kid A. I have to say though seeing them on The Bends tour is a show I will never forget.
 
I binged out on the multiquote as this thread is flying by:

[quote name='Chacrana']I've rediscovered the glory of FRoot Loops cereal straws, but I only got 2 left. Might have to go to the store and get more.[/quote]

Those things still sound rancid to me.

[quote name='pete5883']I seem to lose my enjoyment-momentum on games pretty quickly nowadays. Everything I start now is great for a couple days, but then I can't wait for it to be over so I can get to the next game. Sucks.[/quote]

I got about half way into Assassin's Creed and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Same with NFS: Carbon at the end, I just wanted to be done with the game. Of course, Simpsons Game I wanted to continue, so it's more based on the design. I play through stuff just to say I've completed it and when you commit to doing that, yeah, you're going to ahve games you wish were over so you can start a new one.

You ever play C&C 3 on the 360? Or has anyone? I just wonder how the controls hold up.

[quote name='InuFaye']I'm gonna order up a copy of Ace Combat 6.

Anyone here want to play multi once I get it?[/quote]

If your Radiohead quest doesn't work out, I've been trying to pick up AC6 for awhile. I'd be down for multi.
 
I want to see radiohead so bad I could possibly plunk down 400 for 2 seats to see them.

Also I didnt like C and C 3 on 360, some people say its alright, im just so used to pc rts its so hard to change.
 
Still playing Hulk for the Gamecube. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to add bruce banner stealth missions but I guess it somewhat fits in with the game and luckily there are only a few. I'm still having fun with it. The good thing though is I'm almost finished with it and its one less backlog game and one more to sell off. Go me!

I also went back to Zelda: Oracle of Ages on my GBA SP 2 because I need to finish this and seasons as I've had them for ever and never played them. I remember liking what I've played so far of Ages...I'm now at the 6th dungeon. The fetch quest up to this dungeon was a bit off the wall though. It's also kind of hard going back to these after playing through The Minish Cap and Link To The Past.

Good point, FF IV is also > FF VII :cool:

FF VII is good, I played through it just like everyone else when it came out... but I really think it is overrated.

I'm glad IV DS is coming out soon :drool:

But then again... Chrono Trigger > FF VII ;)

I'd kill for Chrono Trigger on DS or GBA X_X

EDIT - Oh yea I got Lost Odyssey yesterday, decided to pick it up since I wanted the preorder bonus... sucks that I won't have time to play it for awhile :(

You sound like a true child of the 80s (or earlier, I suppose), well played.

Someone at a university needs to stop one of their useless studies and do a different useless study on the correlation between the year you first played a Final Fantasy and your favorite Final Fantasy.

First FF game I played -- FF1 on the NES.

Favorite FF game -- XII

what, I'm serious! :lol:
 
Shay Laren for Apossum:

NSFW
I love these titties so much. :[

and I thought possum had taste. FF12? Really?

Everyone knows the best Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy Tactics.

My first was also FF1 way back on the ole NES. And while I still love the game for its simple design, its not my favorite.

Really tho, different things about each Final Fantasy make it hard to nail down my "favorite" of the series. Certain ones I like the story of, but don't care for the gameplay, or maybe its something about the battle sequences, or the magic system, or certain characters, or the bosses, or the difficulty. It just means that for the most part, the Final Fantasy series as a whole is my favorite RPG series. No other RPG series has given me the consistant entertainment that the Final Fantasies have, especially seeing as they continue to change and evolve with each new release.
 
I wish those bastards who bought radiohead tickets and put them up on ebay would burn in hell.

fuck you buying 2 tickets and reselling them for 500 dollars.

Burn in hell assholes.
