no guns?  I think it would be easier to shoot Desmond and company instead of chasing them with large sticks!

Hmmm...'Splosion Man is fun.  The animation is really good for an XBLA title.  Game seems like A LOT of trial and error, but as long as the checkpoints stay frequent I don't mind.

Yeah, for 400MSP, I'm enjoying it as well. It's "trial and error" but more than that it feels like a platformer BUILT around the concept of speed runs. Very interesting choice. Also: avatar crap for free, gamerpics, YAY!

Isn't it because they'd want to subdue him rather than risk killing him? He's necessary; as for the rest of the crew, their information would be critical since they had taken him further than before.

Good point, but I would assume they would use something more potent though.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I beat Madworld. Not bad but the final boss was a neat surprise lol. Plus dat soundtrack.

[archie4208]

Just means that Mad World 2 will be much improved and further prove your "superior sequels" theory!

[Bebpo]

Wait, you hated the original Mass Effect?  wtfffff, I didn't know you people existed! 

I've been playing BAYONETTA and omg it is washing the sick taste of NMH2 out of my mouth with BLISSFUL DELICIOUS CANDY.  Just beat the collesium in Ch.4  BOSS FIGHT WAS SO GOOD.  COMBAT IS SO GOOD.  AHHHHHH, FUN OVERLOAD.

...and playing more 'splosion man.  It's starting to get tough, but it's really fun.

Action GOTG

[OptimoPeach]

Too bad it doesn't have custom controls

[Bildi]

Bayonetta

I think I've only played four or five levels but have spent hours on the game.  The gameplay is so awesome that replaying levels is as much fun as going on to new levels.

[Ichirou]

I will get back to it someday and beat it on Infinite Climax mode.  Such an amazing game.

[Beezy]

Too bad it doesn't have custom controls

You know what else doesn't have custom controls? The GOTG, Mirror's Edge.

[Don Flamenco]

I got like 40 hours in a week in that game and haven't touched it since   it was a damn good week.  Of course, the games I love and want to replay have no fucking DLC.  On the other hand, there is still plenty left to do, it's just rehash stuff (using Jeanne, Infinite Climax which is just hard without witch time)

hopefully ME2 will have much better DLC support than ME1

[The Sceneman]

just picked up Vesperia again, the story has really ramped up now so Im really enjoying it!

Putting ME2 insanity run on hold until some more DLC comes out LOLOL

having a bro over next weekend to rent and beat Army of Two 40th Day co-op in ONE SITTING. woot ladies lift up your shirts

Really want to buy Bayonetta but am currently in dirty poor status

almost done with Parasite Eve which Im playing on the go. Will probably play a SNES rpg after that. I have never played FFVI or Chrono Trigger, which one should I play?

[Ichirou]

Chrono Trigger.

[Bebpo]

Do you like FF games?
If so then FFVI, it's one of the best ones.

If you don't then CT, it's a pretty cool game.

[Ichirou]

CT is better than FFVI in every conceivable way, and this is coming from someone who's played through FFVI at least a half-dozen times.

[The Sceneman]

I like FFVII-IX, FFX & XII are poop, Ive played FFIII DS and that was poop

[Bebpo]

I like FFVII-IX, FFX & XII are poop, Ive played FFIII DS and that was poop

FFVI is nothing like FF1-3.  FFVI is really story heavy like FFVII+ but in 2d form.  The cast and storyline is pretty awesome.  Gameplay is real good too.

CT is an overrated rpg =P
It's good, but not to the detriment of all other 16-bit rpgs.

I prefer CC; better music, more interesting story.

[cool breeze]

Chrono Trigger is awesome.  Played it again on DS last year, reinforced that is probably my favorite jrpg.  It gets rid of everything I normally hate about jrpg and does it within a lighthearted story about time travel.

Chrono Cross is one of the worst games I have ever played in my life.  It makes me want to projectile vomit.

[OptimoPeach]

I would say FF6 but I'm biased as it's probably my favorite game ever. CT is probably just as good. Play them both lol

[The Sceneman]

Okay Im running snes9x on my psp, wheres the best place for da warez

edit: Wait, so SNES emu actually is fully supported on PSP now?

[The Sceneman]

yeah I beat Earthbound on my PSP, a little slowdown sometimes but still all good

It's been for a while. Since before the first PSP revision.

[cool breeze]

btw, I've been playing No More Heroes 2 since saturday and while I'm only at rank 8, I have to side with Demi and Bebpo.  But I didn't like NMH1 that much, so it's a battle of the game I like less.  It's most definitely not improved like AC2 and ME2.

[Green Shinobi]

I honestly think FF6 is better than Chrono Trigger.

But you should play Chrono Trigger first, since it's less than 20 hours long.

[magus]

chrono trigger is like the best rpg ever so of course it's better than ff6
(also don't mind the nick)

[Third]

This year has been pretty good. So far finished in 2010 + the score I'd give th games:

- Bayonetta - 7
- Overlord II - 6
- Darksiders - 7
- Dante's Inferno - 7
- Mass Effect - 9.5

Pretty crazy.

The only game I'm playing now is Fatal Frame IV. I'm not interested in Bioshock 2.
Heavy Rain should arrive this month. And next month GOW III and FFXIII

Q1 2010

Unfuckingacceptable

[archie4208]

Bayonetta should be two points higher and DI should be two points lower.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

Yup smh

So I beat No More Heroes 2, what terrible final boss fight. The first form was good but the second was absolutely terrible, third form was whatever. I also didn't like the gun and bigger enemies, they were just sponges. I liked it but it's missing some of the style/oopmh the first had.

Plus it had this for one of the boss fights:

[youtube=560,345]v26Z4Vm_KfA[/youtube]

So all is kinda forgiven.

Good job quoting the link in your post, Borys.     But yeah, let's keep ROMZ links out of here.  It's easy enough to find that one with google anyway.

[Bebpo]

Yeah I liked the Margeret and Alice fights the best.  They actually had patterns that you could predict and counter.  Though Alice especially had too much HP.

[iconoclast]

Just 1000'd Bionic Commando. Pretty mediocre overall; if it weren't for the last 20% or so I'd say it's complete garbage. The swinging and soundtrack were far and away the best parts of the game.

And at the Evangelion twist at the end.

[Bebpo]

Really didn't like that boss fight in 'splosion man.  Why go from a great SPEED platformer to a boss that takes 9+ hits and has wait time between each open-to-be-hit section?

[Beezy]

You're talking about the first boss fight? I did it earlier and it took me way longer than it should have.

[Bebpo]

Yeah, that one.  All those missile parts should have been 1 missile -> lasers -> 1 missile -> finisher.  3 missiles each time was stupid since they are easy and just a waste of time.


otoh, did bayonetta chapter 5 and it was zomg.  Did I miss a weapon in the earlier chapters?  In the shop it goes "Alt. Onyx, , Claws" (already have shotgun/sword).

[Beezy]

Agreed on the missiles. Btw, since we both started the game recently, let me know if you ever wanna try the multiplayer stages.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you missed anything. I know there's another weapon that you can buy a second set for in the shop, but I think you find the LP pieces for it on chapter 8 or 9.

[Bebpo]

k, although considering how much I die in 'splosion man I dunno if multiplayer would work

no Splosion man talk allowed until you get 200/200

The last mission in Defense Grid was fucking evil. I just spent 3-4 hours trying to finish it. I ended up completely restarting the mission once and I restarted from checkpoints countless times, but at least I managed to get a gold medal. I won't be touching any of the challenge missions anytime soon.

beating a PC game for the first time in years

[tiesto]

Played a bit of Uncharted 2 multi, just to get the 2 trophies you get from doing that. Wasn't too bad but I'm not a big multiplayer gamer - the Left4Dead influenced co-op mode was fun though. Our match was pretty balanced, and I actually got a few kills in there. Up to the final battle now, gonna beat it tonight. I really have to say, it's an excellent and absolutely beautiful game, with very very few niggling issues (lack of camera re-center and a few annoying set-piece battles).

RUST IN PEACE

I can't beat Take No Prisoners.

[demi]

Toying with my DS... downloaded all the Mega Man Battle Network games... gonna play them all from the start. Surprisingly still fun.

Started the GBA Fire Emblem that wasnt released here either, the one with Roy. Mmm, Fire Emblem.

[magus]

fire emblem? you must hate yourself demi 

[demi]

I'm pretty sure you hate yourself. Gripe about any games lately?

[magus]

well fire emblem duh!
anyway you are playing with the translation patch right?

[demi]

WELL DURP

[Don Flamenco]

is there a list of planets with anomalies? I'm not scanning all that shit.  I have 2 loyalty quests left and IFF.  I don't want this to end :'(  they better have some serious DLC...but I'm guessing all the mentions of ME3 in the game mean we'll get some bullshit like ME1.  Though maybe the arena thing will be better now that they've improved the combat so much.

[maxy]

Just click on the planet,if there is an anomaly EDI will tell you,don't click on gas giants,no anomalies there.After you finish IFF,one more loyalty mission awaits you...

[Third]

Tried to play Bioshock 2. Stopped playing because the game is ugly and boring.

Right now I'm juggling FFXII deliciousness with honing my Cammy in SF4 and getting super hyped for Super's release.

For the 8th time, Lyte, I keep forgetting, what system do you play SF on? If it's 360, we're so playing as soon as I get one. At least if you beat me, you can give me tips. My friend still stonewalls me.
