I've got the day off work, so I'm gonna be playing a few things today.  :D


I'll probably go through the Heavenly Sword demo a few more times.  I want to figure out more about the stances, and how to launch counter attacks.

I'll also be playing some more of Rainbow Six Vegas.  I'm trying to finish up the single player for the first time.  I'm a little late with this great game.

I'll also play some Super Stardust HD.  I think it's probably one of the best shooters I've ever played.  I think it craps all over Geometry Wars, and I loved that game as well.

Thats the disk that in there - yes!

I need to finish the game and move on to beat Code Veronica and RE4.

I think I got to the end of Code Veronica once but I ran out of ammo.

Himuro's post should have said

PLAYING MY 360 ON MY AWESOME NEW HDTV

but no, he's moping around like a cigarillo about some japcrap - fake gamer confirmed

off the top of my head--

PSP-
Final Fantasy - the updated visuals look nice, reminds me of a flimsy cheap japanese PC game)
Tales of the World - Good to turn on and do a few missions

360-
Tenchu Z - just need to Ninja 5 Normal and Hard difficulties and then I have all 1000 points
Probably fire up DiRT next
I loaned my Dead Rising to a friend and when I went to take it back, the disc was nowhere to be found. Probably just go buy another copy.

I too am playing Yoshi's Island DS. The level right before Bowser's castle is FUCK HARD. I beat it thinking that would be it, but then it opened up five new levels for me to play, which I haven't gotten to yet. But you get to be the black Yoshi, which is nifty.

Capcom's games are usually this way. Awesome concepting, great presentation, overall solid execution but ONE stupid fucking flaw that makes you want to hate the game.

I don't even mind the save system. I just hate some of the rigidity of the controls and that ITEMS BREAK AHHH.

Actually, now that you mention it - that's the thing I hate even WORSE than the controls. If they're going to make it so that you can only save the game in certain spots, could they please make MORE save spots? I got so frustrated doing a bunch of missions, dying and then remembering that I forgot to save and FUCK, I gotta do it all over?

That's motherfucking aggravating.

the save system rocks.  it actually makes you think before acting.  if you commit to trekking all across the mall and time runs out, then that's YOUR bad homie.   :lol

ps. there's a shortcut in the mall somewhere.  if you wanna know, i can tell you in a spoiler tag or some shit.  but it's very handy.

I only have experience with the 360 version, mind you, but if it's the first one you've played, you will probably like it.  The main complaint people had was that it felt more like an expansion to CoD2 than a new game.  The multiplayer implementation is miles better than CoD2, too.

Damn dude you are HARD to the CORE.

I think the game is meant to be played that way...I just use save when im alive and I want to turn it off and take a break....

When you start over next time it uses the same character save - its cool you get to start over, play better and wearing the same clothes you died in ;)

either way not continuing or using saves on some games is a habbit i carry over from my coinop days....i love that Resident Evil Outbreak file 1 and 2 are made to be played like this....gives it an arcade like feel....

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence for DS would have been the ultimate speed play version - it has the shoulder mapped combat knife, and the vs play made it great - the only thing that sucked is other players in the mansion were marked by colored markers, and werent really in your game just time/score competing.

Any RE speed players here? I got the best possible time on RE1 Directors cut for PSOne (best FAQ driven score) and I love to challenge the nemessis with the combat knife ;)

Which one do you like best, out of Baldur's Gate (PS2/XBOX versions)  1&2, and Champions of Norrath 1&2?  My favorite is still Baldur 1.  It was one of the best looking PS2 games at the time and it was like a perfect combination of Gauntlet and Diablo.  Norrath games looked good too but I barely played either one for more than an hour since they were just too much of the same.

For me, this weekend I played a bit of Etrian Odyssey and Half Life 2. Both games I really like.

I guess the reward should be something that makes you feel like it was worth the extra time and effort.  For example, a weapon or spell that will allow you to destroy enemies for the next 10-20% of the game.  OTOH, it shouldn't be so powerful that you can breeze through the rest of the game with it like some of the FF weapons that people told me about.

champions of norrath is a beat-em-up cum diablo clone with busted loot tables and badly designed boss fights. but it has stats and loot. see, stats and loot. that's what i play games for: stats and loot.

Which one do you like best, out of Baldur's Gate (PS2/XBOX versions)  1&2, and Champions of Norrath 1&2?  My favorite is still Baldur 1.  It was one of the best looking PS2 games at the time and it was like a perfect combination of Gauntlet and Diablo.  Norrath games looked good too but I barely played either one for more than an hour since they were just too much of the same.  

in order of preference? baldur's 2 > champions of norrath >= baldur's 1 >>>>>>>> champions rta. I'd bump baldur's 1 higher if it wasn't for the jumping puzzles in the first act; champions gets a boost from the random loot but a ding for the generic locales and broken boss fights. return to arms is just plain bad. baldur's 2 has the homeliest art direction, but the best campaign and is an AWESOME JUST AWESOME 2P experience. i want MAF to bring it over some weekend so we can fuck some monsters up.

tiesto: what smooth groove said -- there should be a REASONABLE chance of you getting good upgrades every hour, and a small chance of getting a fuck awesome upgrade (that will let you fuck shit up for the next 10-20% of the game) over each 3-5 hours of play. also, lots of character customization in terms of skill and equipment, good boss encounters that work well for team play, and a wide variety of interesting skills in general.

I have to say that one of the reasons I wanted P3 on day one on July 24 was because I have an absolute hankerin' for demon collecting right now. I've been wanting to do it for some time, but now that P3's been delayed I'm playing through Nocturne again. Here's hoping I'm not all SMT'd out once P3 comes out.

I got the 1000 Yen bill and I'm on my way to fight Metador, so I'm beefing my party up and preparing for him and Ikeburkuro. I'm level 16, need to get to level 20 or so, so I can create me a few pals that'll help out during the Metador fight. Izumi is really helpful in that fight!

Im playing: Etrian Odyssey (Im up to B19F), Shenmue (just got up the the 3rd disc), Yakuza (just a couple of chapters to go). Outrun 2006 and Gradius V are my bits on the side.  Waiting for my RE4 Wii Edition to turn up  :maf

How are you liking Shenmue Scenester? The third disc is actually the best disc. It's got tons of action.

Be sure to play Shenmue II (DC version!!!) after beating it.

I beat it when it first came out.

edit: Oh, you mean the replay? Not far. I just decided to go with Nocturne instead.

Haven't played anything in a while, but I finally started playing Baten Kaitos Origins again today. It's like the only GC game I have left that doesn't give me disc read errors. :(

Im finding Shenmue to really damn good, I understand all the hate the game gets though, its definately not for everyone. Graphically it still holds up extremely well, the textures are really sharp(looks better than most PS2 games IMO). The fight with the fucked up bald guy at the arcade was pretty scary  :o . Well I havent 'started' the 3rd disc yet, just got to the end of the 2nd disc last night night saved it and turned it off. (Havent burned the 3rd disc off my PC yet lol) . But Im definately looking forward to playing the rest of it, and Ive got Shenmue 2 waiting for me so I'll play that afterwards. Once I finish Yakuza Ive got DDS1 and 2 to get through and BOFV... so I probably dont need to spend any money on games for a little while

The textures and the amount of detail that went into Mue is insane. The amount of detail those games have is still not topped, and I can only imagine GTAIV topping it.

I mean, Jesus. Look at this shot dude. And this is from 1999 for God's sake. :bow The lighting :bow

shenmue has some truly godawful art direction. it's garish, like a slug's viscera; it's colorful e-coli spread cross low poly environments.

and lighting? WHAT LIGHTING. there's a bad alpha mask shadow in that scene, himu, and that doesn't equal anything resembling good lighting. go back to your hinasturbation and quit commenting on game aesthetics!

Trying to play all of these, but the first half of my week is mostly work and class, so starting tonight I get to buckle down and get some of this done :)

devil may cry 1 has some of the most aggravating boss fights ever. not because they are inherently difficult, but because the camera positions make it fucking impossible to gauge distance and attack patterns without regular trial-and-error.

The camera was a pain in the ass for most of the game in Devil May Cry 1.

Why is Devil May Cry 2 so bad?

Yeah DMC2 is super boring and super easy. DMC3 the best game of the series by a mile. And the cutscenes are some of the funniest ever in a videogame
