ReRo has a hard-on for Braid, Martin Lawrence, and GGT #70!

True, but it's popular for a reason. First one was great, but after that, eh...

I love this comment.

I lol'd at this.
 
Okami and Disgaea at $20 make me very happy for people who didn't get a chance to play them.

Maximo vs. AoZ is a good game but it's like 5 dollars new on eBay and Half.com...
 
So, just demo'd Braid. The screenshots don't do this game justice. It's truly beautiful and unlike any other game once you witness it on your hdtv or probably even sdtv too, literally like a moving painting. In a strange way the graphics remind me of an even prettier Kirby Canvas Curse. I'm not too keen on download games, but like RezHD and Lost Winds this may be my exception. Oh, and it's pretty fun too!

2D is back!

So this pub games thing for Fable II give you money for your new game? Anything else? I should be getting it for free. If I can get a few extra codes I will pass them on to GGT that don't have access to the game for free.

[quote name='refusedchaos']anyone going to get Macross: Ace Frontier for psp?[/quote]Looks decent. I dont think I've played the psp in over a year, now that I think about it.

[quote name='Krymner']And I would have to argue that we do stay on the topic of games at least 85-90% of the time.[/quote]

Let's keep it between 90-95% and I'll continue to advocate for y'all. Deal?

[quote name='Chacrana']Thanks for the heads up. I sold my PS2 copy of Okami in anticipation of the wii version... but now that we know the Wii version is more or less fucked, I need to get this soon.[/quote]I never checked the reviews for the wii version. What happened?


In other news, I never knew blueshinra was a lady. :oops:
 
[quote name='guinaevere']I never checked the reviews for the wii version. What happened?[/quote]

Controls blow and they completely changed the look of the game.
 
Uhm... well with the Wii version, the controls were shit, and while the game supports 480p and widescreen, they took out some of the graphical effects (like the paper effect) and I think it actually looks blurrier, even in 480p.

Is Army of Zin easier than the first Maximo (which I liked, but could barely make any progress in)?

Really though, no worries. I'm used to it, especially since I go by "Reeve" elsewhere online :)

Actually, I sold Maximo GtG when I got my hands on AoZ. It fixes all the annoying, fun-killing aspects of the original game. It's slightly easier (though still challenging compared to other games), has a reasonable camera, normal save system (after every level) and tighter controls (less random deaths due to Max not doing what you want him to).

I recommend Maximo 2 to any fans of Ratchet, Sly, Jak and/or the classic Ghosts and Goblins games.
 
Sounds good! Might check it out once my backlog's reduced some.

Didn't someone mention getting a KOS-MOS figure in a previous GGT? This one was shown at Wonder Festival. Not anything that I'd get, but I've never seen hair done like that for a PVC statue... it's pretty cool.

More pics from Wonder Festival here and here. Nothing really caught my eye this time around, unlike this past winter's show. Bleah.
 
well looks like I'll be getting the Fable 2 LE that is, if my store gets it. I'll have the extra money since it's the only game I'll be getting in October anyway.
 
1. Braid is sweet but not 1200 points sweet (already stated 1000 times).

2. Fable 2 LE looks amazing. In-game content and all that other shit seem to make it really be worth it. I'll get it as long as the GGT promises not to drop into my world and kill my sons.

3. I keep getting calls about my PS3. I think I'm going to try and sell it for $500 with MLB 08 The Show and Motorstorm only (No Motorstorm or Socom 3). Then I'll get a dedicated Blu-ray player for $150-200. (I was thinking about an HD-DVD Add-on for my 360 but 95% of the movies I would want for it are/will be available on Blu-ray plus all these new releases like Wall-E, Dark Knight, etc. I'm going to want on the Blue)

Selling my PS3 is great because I hardly ever play it and by selling it for $500 and buying a BRD player for $150-200 I have almost $300 to drop on Blus I want :)

4. I think I'm going to buy SoR2 on XBLA. I played the trial with my Hori EX2 and it plays amazing, and the GGT recommendations are helping too.

congrats...dont forget the GGW blu-ray;)
 
Dark Sector is certainly a budget title. It is fun and has voices from EDF2017. That is a big plus. But it is going back to GameStop. I would rather buy some other game or anime. Time to go watch what I do every time I walk. Dragon Ballz. :D
 
[quote name='distgfx']Controls blow and they completely changed the look of the game.[/quote]urf. That and what Chac just said are way disappointing. I have aouple sealed copies of the ps2 version somewhere around here. ...I think. Either that or Yakuza.

[quote name='blueshinra']I'm actually a chameleon ;)[/quote]Oh cool! I have a family of (I think) anoles (sp??) that have made a home in a bag of mulch by my porch a few years ago. It looks crummy having it sitting there all this time, but they're very sweet (I named the big one Azalea and the little ones Rose and Rhodo) and I refuse to destroy their home. They keep me company when I'm out in my gardens.

Really though, no worries. I'm used to it, especially since I go by "Reeve" elsewhere online :)

And the avatar doesn't lead one way or another. Glad to re-meet you. It's exciting to know there's a fellow gal in here. :bouncy:
 
The more I think about it, the more I realize I can't justify spending 1100 bucks on a laptop just so I'll be able to play Diablo. Right now I'm looking at getting a Studio, that will run me about 750. It at least has a dedicated GPU, so I'll be able to play TF2 and WoW again. God dammit I hate the fact that I need to save for a car.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand onto Braid.
I downloaded the trial a few minutes ago, and though I'll get yelled at for saying this, I didn't even finish it. Loved the music, adored the art style, but had zero fun. I guess it's just not my type of game. :(
 
Shit... I might be better off selling my 60GB for $500 and buying a used 40GB for $250-300. LOL

Standalone blu-ray players freaking suck.

yeah... PS3 still is the best due to not being limited when doing firmware updates for the BR player.
 
OK. All I care about is if the BR loads quick and I can watch the movie with the audio being Dolby Digital 5.1 output via optical to my Logitech Z-5500's.

If a standalone is profile 1.0 or 1.1 it can still play any disc that is out or will ever come out right? I don't care about shooting my friends over the internet while we both watch Alien vs. Predator and features of the like.

Anyone who has not played the PS2 version will find nothing graphically wrong with the game, and the controls are fine. Only issue I have is stringing together combos which almost seems to be a game design issue... whether you're flicking the remote or hitting a button, the timing is kinda wonky.

I hope Capcom isn't expecting Okami Wii to sell anymore now that they're rereleasing it for half the price.

no
 
But, if you have the choice of either (which everyone should, who doesn't have access to a PS2?), the best version is the PS2 version.
 
i enjoyed the braid demo but im still not sure if i should drop 1200 even though i have 10k in points i also keep playin and the N+ demo i should get to buyin that too lol of course everytime i think about buyin something i look at whats coming up later in the year and stop myself

I'm doing research on Ganondorf for the art I'm doing for Daroga and I get more porn than expected... alot of pedo stuff too like a naked baby link on a ganandorf with no pants...
???????????????????????????????????????
 
Shit so it is more and more looking like I'm going to sell my PS3 with just Motorstorm for $500 then buy a 40GB for $250 off CL. I'll keep Ratchet and MLB.
 
Why is SF II Turbo so hard on Capcom Classics V. 2? I was decent at Super SF II... I can't even win the first round on Easiest difficulty in Turbo.

On the subject of inappropriate things to post, anyone see that blog entry bout the kid who's going on about getting caught by his mom while shaking white hot coconuts from the veiny love tree ?? Thats bad enough but his choice of viewing matter is something else.

Picked up Everyday Shooter for the PC (the only PS3 game I miss).

So much easier to play with the asymmetrical 360 controller. :cool:

I think it was either refused, or Lik.

Speaking of game-related figures, my Ibuki came in today! I'm trying to limit my toy/figure purchases due to cost and space considerations, but I'm really hoping HLJ will put up the RAH Chun Li figure up soon. NCSX didn't like some of the character model attributes, but I think it's spiffy. And Medicom toys are really the best posable figures out there, IMO.
