Just saw on the 360 dashboard that Fable II is now $39.99. I'll probably pick that up over the weekend.

It'll be $30 at Best Buy next week:

So I grabbed Left 4 Dead from Blockbuster, but some cock put Rise of The Argonauts behind it and I didn't see what I had taken until I got home. Played it for 2 hours and quit in disgust. Awful game.

Then I took it back and traded it for Silent Hill Homecoming since there weren't any actual copies of L4D there. No invert camera control? Are you fucking kidding me? Ugh.

I can't find a goddam thing to play.

If you have $20 I'd recommend a copy of 2142.

My computer is likely too assy even for a year old Battlefield game.

Bianca. Your children will be super saiyan's. Nera's a better mage, but her personality sucks. Bianca, however is awesome, and the game goes out of its way to put you on a GUILT TRIP if you pick anyone else.

I was too lazy to get into a game that required attention so I played some Samurai Western. This game is so awesome.

I demand you tell me about this game, swaggaz..

I will be picking Debora when I pick up DQ5 ds. Haven't played the ds version but when I played the snes version I picked Nera first (her name wasn't Nera in the version I played wtf) and then it went on a guilt trip. I rebooted, picked the almighty Bianca.

Nera's just boring. She's rich sure, but I bet she sucks in bed.

tiesto · « **Reply #66 on:** April 29, 2009, 12:47:25 PM »

I picked Nera, since the first time through the game, when it was on SNES, I picked Bianca. Wanted to mix things up...

I love how MS actually cuts the prices on their games. I'd dabble in stuff like Heavenly Sword or even Lair if Sony didn't try to suck $60 out of people 2 years later.

There isn't that much to tell. You're some samurai guy who is in the wild west to find some guy and just happen to kill a bunch of guys while there. The main gimmick to the game is that you're some crazy ass samurai fighting enemies who all use guns, but since you're so awesome, you have the ability to deflect or dodge every bullet shot at you (you have to time it before the bullet actually hits you). It plays somewhere between a musou game and Shinobi on PS2, and it makes you feel like Goemon from Lupin the 3rd. It's really shallow, but it's fun to face a bunch down a bunch of gunslingers using only a sword. Plus it is a bit of an spin off from the Way of the Samurai games, so you have a bunch of sword styles to specialize in from different stances, two swords or Kenshin style where you slash only after drawing from the sheath.

Okay, so for kicks I decided to play San Andreas. I never finished it the first time and didn't really give it a fair chance.

Holy shit. What the fuck happened to Rockstar between the completion of SA and the release of GTA4? Did everyone have a stroke at once? Was there something in the water? I'm baffled as to how they went from a game so good, then completely did a 180 and made a game that was so bad.

Sly Cooper then Jak 3

I'm also considering renting Wolverine Origins after playing the demo just now. It's pretty fun and surprisingly violent for a movie tie in game. The cutscenes were also better than the actual movie, so yeah.

Good grief. How many Achievements are you going for on Gears? I can't stand the "you're only ever going to play this game" nature of the Achievements in it.

Since this thread is still alive, I'll keep it open instead of starting a new one.

I'll mostly be playing Rolando, Rhythm Heaven, and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.

been playing Bully on the 360 for gamerscore mainly, Ive played it on PS2 but thought I'd give the enhanced version a run-through cos its a great game. Achievements are pretty good, but the extra content is pretty bad - all those Santa missions were homo as. Were they actually in the original game? Geography classes are fucking awesome though

As a filthy American, the European geography is killing me. I can only get the Scandinavian countries and that one island with the funny accent.

The Music and Geography classes are new, and I've not done the Santa missions yet, but I don't recall them from the first game. I think I had a Santa outfit at one point though. Or that might have been a crappy sweater from Hopkins' mom.

As for myself, I'm lazing through some Saints Row 2, and suffering through the sloppy controls and bad camera of HULK (360). How come it's supposedly similar to Ultimate Destruction, but done so horribly wrong? What's different?

yeah it was probably just he sweater lol. The Santa missions themselves werent too bad but I had to skip all the cutscenes, there was some typical drunk bum Santa who wasnt funny at all.

Anywhoo got 1000/1000 in Bully

Saturday morning here so just going to wash my ass, launder my undies, probably cook some eggs and play:

Outrun XBLA -still trying to get some achievements and shit
Orange Box - gotta finish episode 1 & 2 then I'll run back through the main game for some achievements I missed

Still dicking around with Persona 3, bout 20 Hours in. And still playing through Earthbound & Yggdra Union on PSP

Beezy · « **Reply #90 on:** May 01, 2009, 07:40:59 PM »

Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram - Love this game, I'll be playing it online all weekend. I'm trying to rank up and get my win/lose ratio up to 1:1.

SFIV - I'm always trying to get better with Bison. A friend is having an online tourney tomorrow night. Hopefully I don't get scrubbed too bad.

Outrun Online - I got 3 more achievements to get and I'll probably play some online races.

Blue Dragon - If I have time I'll finish disc 2 this weekend.

The SO4 optional content is addicting as hell, just made a weapon that majorly boosted my ATK power... went from 2800 to over 4000...

Up to the final floor of the Cave of the Seven Stars, characters are about level 160. Then it's off to try and take down Etherial Queen in the second bonus dungeon... though I dunno if I'm even gonna bother at this point. I've been playing the game for almost 100 hours!

Will finish Fallout 3 the next time I play it. Then I'll wait a week until DLC3 is out with the 30 level cap and do all 3 DLCs.

Making decent progress on Persona. Doubt I'll replay the game after I beat it for the ENTIRELY OTHER GAME in the snow queen quest though.

Crackdown licks ass. Maybe this is a known bug, but as I snatched Orb #500, I somehow lost 40 orbs, putting me back at 460/500. God fucking damn it.

I started Klonoa. Only lasted about one cutscene before switching the english va off. Lasted 2 before deciding to skip all cutscenes. I don't play games for stories load the next stage goddammat. Klonoa is slow paced, for awhile I was yearning for a run button. I accepted it for the relaxing puzzle platformer it was and enjoyed it up to level 3 where I couldn't find a locked door for the life of me. Turns out its not in an immediately obvious perspective UNLESS YOU WATCHED THE CUTSCENE. Oh well. It reminds me of why I like games otherwise. Simple controls and revisting problems and scenarios with slightly different twists.

I really want to get back to Excitebots. These alt costume requirements are ridiculous but I must have cow skin grasshopper.

See, I'm just going to stick with the ones I have now. If I end up finding 5 more, I'll spend the rest of time trying, and failing, to find the last one. And the hidden orbs can just take a hike.
