The gameplay in GGT #93 is awesome, but the story kinda sucks.

[quote name='Azumangaman']No idea. I have the PSP-2000 though, and while I never owned the original I hear its a lot better and lighter.[/quote]

Not really interested in the weight or size, it's more about the better screen and TV-Out for me.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Help me understand this.

PSP 3000, piece of crap or worth looking into? My PSP is a launch model 1000 :D[/QUOTE]

If all you have is the original PSP, then go for it.

[quote name='DarthPuma']Vc demo is sooooooo good. Day one purchase.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm still in shock over how good that demo was. I was looking forward to the game, but I didn't think it would be THAT good.

[quote name='distgfx']That's supposed to be dangerous? I thought it's only dangerous if you bump it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, nothing wrong with standing it up. The only problem is that it increases the chance the system will move with a game inside.
 
I think I'm done with Fight Night single player. It just gets tedious after a while. Will definitely keep it around for multiplayer though.

Next up is getting back to Soul Calibur IV. I haven't touched it since buying it and playing through story mode with every character when it first came out.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']A like-new/mint copy of GTAIV (I don't like it anyway) for a sealed NGII is a good deal right?[/QUOTE]

I'd think so. It's a new game for a new game more or less. NGII has been $40 a lot of places lately, but GTAIV doesn't have a ton of value either. I just put my copy on Goozex, it's 800 points ($40) and on long waith.

Same here, That demo made VC a day 1 purchase for me. I think I'll be using the rest of my in-store credit at Gamestop to pick this up.
 
Been playing loads of Assassin's Creed today. Almost done with it.

Did you guys see the 360 top 25 list on ign? Mass Effect got #1...
I was surprised to see Dead Rising get 10 though (not that I don't think it deserves it, I've just heard more negatives about that game than positives)
 
Hey guys. How's everyone's 3 day weekend? Mine's not going so bad. I picked up Soul Calibur 4 and a Placeholder game for LBP at TRU and grabbed Disgaea DS as my free game. I haven't opened any of them yet, but Disgaea is a good time right? I enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and really liked Fire Emblem, so I assume this game will be sort of like them? And I will so be down for some SCIV online later this week.
 
I have a four day weekend starting wednesday, that will be spent completing Yakuza, blowing through dead space, and playing a shit load of king of fighters and tekken.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Why does everyone have a three day weekend? I did, but I don't see why everyone would?[/quote]

I think because monday is columbus day. I don't have off for it, so I'll be in class -_-

Spent most of the day playing Megaman 2 and Aero Fighters. Awesome stuff!

I never had fucking columbus day off when I was in middle/high school.
 
Fall Break day on Friday... just a random day in the middle of the semester that we (and basically every college) get off. We don't get Columbus day off, though, because he had slaves.

I don't post in the ott though, lol.

Makes me want to make a new account over at IGN again and see if I can hit 10k in 2 months.

And dayum at 30k. That's more than I have combined with this cag account and both my Ign accounts! (somewhere around 15k)
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Why does everyone have a three day weekend? I did, but I don't see why everyone would?[/quote]
I wish I had a 3 day weekend. Instead I have a 7 day weekend and It's slowly driving me insane.... I need to find a job or something soon.

I actually took a hiatus from IGN since I started posting here.

The Vestibule is different from the OTT.

'The Vestibule'?

I dunno about that, there's not as many mod rampages here.

PC games will always look better than their console counterparts.
 
[quote name='Moxio']'The Vestibule'?[/quote]

IGN's community board, where I spent the majority of my time.

This reminded me that I missed IGN, so I went and logged back in. Trying to decide if I want to waste 8 bucks on insider.

1984 has gotten really good. I'm like 250 pages in.

I may actually hold off until I can find a decent deal on LBP now that I've played the beta. The first few days won't really matter, it will be months before the good stuff starts coming.

On that TRU deal, is it possible for me to buy 3 games, namely dead space and 2 placeholders, and return the placeholders online for LBP and Fallout 3 when they come out? The nearest tru is 75 miles away, and I don't have my license yet.

I fucking hate the mods at IGN.

Well not all of them, but there is one that I would actually beat the shit out of if I met him in real life, without a second thought.
 
Disgaea's tutorial is really turning me off, but I'm forcing myself to push through it, hoping the game gets better.
 
[quote name='suko_32']Resident Evil 4?[/quote]

You're not allowed to prove me wrong. Do 3rd party mods that make it look better count?
 
[quote name='distgfx']Oh yea? Like what for example? :lol:[/quote]


like your face.


and Resident Evil 4....which is the only counterexample i can think of.
 
[quote name='distgfx']You're not allowed to prove me wrong. Do 3rd party mods that make it look better count?[/quote]


They do count and even then, it's not as nice looking. It bumps the res and makes everything crisper, but the appeal of RE4's graphics isn't made stronger by a higher res. it makes certain parts sharper and others much uglier and more noticeable. Textures you never noticed before suddenly suck out loud. The 2D hud turns into a blurry mess as well. The game running au natural on a CRT in progressive scan looks much nicer since everything blends together.

yeah, I played with that one, and the other HQ texture packs on it. You can take screens all day and make the case for it looking better, but in motion, it's not as pleasant as the Wii edition on a progressive CRT.

This is a good example:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/enhanced-environment/images/island-truck-elevator-2#imagebox

the switch area looks alright, but it's surrounded by weird, way-too-sharp and shitty texture areas in the wall, ground, and ceiling. There's stuff like that all over the game-- "ohhh, that wall is fucking awesome!" followed by "shit, that haystack is N64 style."

I happen to like the way it looks :speaktothehand:

Gawd, I already agreed RE4 looks like shit on the PC, what more do you want from me?! :whee:

Amen. I need to find a way to buy it, and it wasn't even on my radar. The demo was THAT good.

That list was fucking awful. I do think Mass Effect is a good game, butthe list is nonetheless awful.


Anyway, i've been playing a crapload of The Force Unleashed lately. Trying to beat it before Dead Space comes out tuesday. In case anyone wants to know how hyped i am for that, i watched the lullaby trailer around 10 times today, and i even made a thread about it somewhere just becuase it's so damn good.

In other news, i just bought my second copy of GTA IV so i could have it for 360 for the DLC coming....eventually. Don't worry, it was $20 shipped from a CAG ;)

Again? God dammit ... wait

Games, games, games, I love games and what not.
 
I've considered buying a crt and a wii just to play RE4 again in all its glory. but then I remembered how heavy those fucking TVs are.

there better be some kind of CRT quality flat screen in the near future that won't screw up older gen games.

Won't happen, doesn't work that way. Even if it's an LCD with the same resolution as a CRT it still won't look as nice. Yes, I know what I said was flawed but you get the idea.

Thankfully 1500 points is only $9 today!

Played a bit o' Bomberman tonight, got rocked in a couple rounds online with my friend and his girlfriend till I lucked into a victory to tie things up at the end.

I'm so glad you're choosing to honor our promise to each other.

I'm so excited for Fallout 3. Kind of scared it may take over my life if it's anything like Oblivion.
