The difference is that NASCAR SUCKS whereas martial arts are awesome.

Gran Turismo and Forza = NASCAR?

WHATEVER. I've had a few beers, right now, I don't care.

Tiesto is missing lots of DQ, if he is including third rate games like Rocket Slime and Monsters/Joker

Wake me up when you become a real fan of DQ...

I signed up for that Xbox Live Rewards thing as it is now available here. So keen for free MSP

I did the Bing thing, and they actually paid me three times, then somehow copped to the idea that I'm in Japan or something, and said "up yours, chrono!" 

Once I get to california, I'm going to write a script which bashes 20 searches in Bing each morning on startup.

What ones am I missing? Aside from DQ 1 + 2 SFC, DQ4 PS1, DQ5 PS2, and the Yangus roguelike?

For you demi:

[demi]

Torneko no Daibouken (Series)
DQM 1&2 PSX (Translation available... or being worked on)
DQM Caravan Heart (Translation available)

[Mr. Gundam]

and the Yangus roguelike?

The Young Yangus game is really awesome. Well worth importing.

[Cindi Mayweather]

I wish we got that game

[magus]

you moron only cares because it feature's dragon quest

I signed up in September, already have 300+ points. The best part is that all those free 1 month codes I've used to get my subscription up to 2013 give me 20pts a month.

I realized today that Worms is the Angry Birds of the 90s.  It's a game that came along and took someone else's game (scorched earth) and decorated it with hip edgy creatures and it became hugely successful and all the company ever did was keep making the same game for twenty years.

But at least Worms' creator isn't a total dick like the Roxio people (or whatever their company's name is)... in fact he is really cool and created my favorite NeoGAF thread ever.

So it looks like Cave's WP7 game will be Dodonpachi Maximum. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/dodonpachi-maximum/achievements/

Looking at the achievements, it seems like it will be a mix of the Dodonpachi games, since some achievements are named after bosses from Daioujou and Daifukkatsu. And there's some Ketsui thrown in as well ("Defensive Line" and "Cinderella Amber" are from Ketsui). So this game will be weird.

THE NEXT SUIKODEN IS PROBABLY DOOMED
Pity the next Suikoden game, a PSP offering with the subtitle The Woven Web of a Century. The Suikoden series slid sharply after the first two games, and while Suikoden V and Tactics have their defenders, no one quite trusts Konami with the series after Suikoden Tierkreis tried an alternate-world spin on the DS. Where does this leave Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century? Well, it'sabout a hero who's hurled 100 years into the past as part of some scheme to destroy a fearsome threat to the world. He's accompanied at first by his friends Jino and Myra…and Zephon, the mage who started him on the whole quest. And there's a dog-duck thing named Meamei.

(Image removed from quote.)

[Sgt. Joe from Suikoden III looks pretty normal now.]

The game's time-traveling gimmick also figures into combat. The main characters pick up new abilities from watching their ancestors in battle, and party members can fit into several different classes (or “sub-jobs”). In Suikoden tradition, up to six characters can join the fray at one time, though there's no sign yet of any team-up attacks. The Woven Web of a Century has plenty of animation, though, and the game's websiter shows it off in a trailer.

(Image removed from quote.)

[Left to right: Zephon, Blandy Heroford, and Lovena McInterest.]

What's missing? Well, just about everything that made prior Suikoden games interesting. Where are the 108 recruitable characters? Where are the harsh political decisions? Where are the duels with major enemies and the open-field strategic battles with entire armies? Perhaps they're hidden in there, but Konami's running out of time to unveil such details—this new game arrives on February 9. Still, Konami's hasn't forgotten Suikoden's roots entirely. The pricey special edition comes with a soundtrack, a radio drama, an artbook, a poster, and an encyclopedia that chronicles past Suikoden games.

i would have made a joke about suikoden turning into a pachinko game,but then i remembered that already happened

[Cindi Mayweather]

Stop posting Suikoden shit since you don't give a crap about Suikoden if you're trying to make me feel horrible about the fate of my beloved Genso Suikoden.

Konami tried, okay? They TRIED. Suikoden V was  GREAT and the new writer owned. Why can't they make a Suikoden VI that's post-Suikoden III for continuity's sake? Because they tried to re-hire Murayama, the series creator, and the guy declined like the punk ass bitch he is, leaving Konami without any idea on how to continue the series.

Fuck Murayama, I'll at least give Konami some credit for trying.

PS: I will buy this game, and will support Suikoden till the day I die. Which will be probably be this year anyways. Unlike most Suikoden die-hards I'm fine with the series changes so long as IT'S A GOOD GAME. Still, where's my 108 and where's my political discord you cock wranglers?

[Bebpo]

Konami should have hired Matsuno after he left SE.  He could probably finish Suikoden.

Konami's all buddy-buddy with tri-Ace now, they should have them make the game, put in a VP style battle engine and some catgirls

relax himuro,i'm just pulling your leg
and i do like suikoden,just... konami it's dead and they haven't done a single relevant game in ages (i think excluding metal gear the last one would be order of eclessia?) and this is just konami dancing on the gravestone so now i don't care anymore

there was a rumor for a spell that tri-ace WAS making the new psp suikoden.

[Bebpo]

Except they didn't.

Instead they made Frontier Gate.




And if that's the budget of your average Konami/Tri-ace game (hint: it is), yeaaaaaah I don't think Suikoden would work like that.  Makes Suikoden IV look like FFXIII.

[Cindi Mayweather]

i knew they were making frontier gate

also, that'd look for suikoden

Anyone played that new Choplifter game?

[Bebpo]

I'll beat magus to the post:

Fantasia gets its own world in KH3DS.  So like Pinocchio which was already sorta covered in KH but half-assed, it will now get a fleshed out entire movie world.

Fantasia
Tron Legacy
Pinocchio
Three Mousketeers
Hunchback of Notre Dame
The World Ends With You

We're probably getting pretty close to the final world list.  BBS had 7, so I'm guessing 1 more reveal left before the March release.  This should be a really solid entry and a nice middleground until the next MAJOR entry in 2014/2015 (hopefully KH3).  This is semi-major but you can tell the reason they're re-doing worlds and stuff is because the plot is going to be more like Chain of Memories where it has plot importance but isn't a major advancement of the KH storyline (since it all takes place in a dream).  Still feel like it has a good chance to be better than both the DS KHs and really enjoyable.

konami doesn't mean to hurt me

they try to be a good game company

it's mostly my fault, if only i was a better customer they wouldn't have to teach me a lesson

Am I a good customer for buying Otomedius? IGA produced it so maybe now he'll get to make a good CV?

It went up on Steam and XBL, but I haven't heard anything about it. Apparently it's made by Russians or something.

[ferrarimanf355]

I don't get Kingdom Hearts. It sounded like a decent idea on paper, but Nomura kinda ruined it with the worst storytelling this side of Metal Gear.

[Trent Dole]

Goddamn there is literally NOTHING coming out this month. I checked the forthcoming page at GS and the next thing is FFXIII-2. Picks up again mid Febtober.
