aw shit how could I forget TTT2. Snoop's stage is A tier.

[Don Flamenco]

Pretty sure that game's by a westerner...

yeah, the pic definitely had that "anime drawn by gaijin" look.

this new glitch is so awesome

[mjemirzian]

I read it was training room only, pretty awesome though. I remember seeing a video of another capcom vs xmen game where you could do a similar glitch.

New Dragon's Crown info. Possibly better gameplay than Muramasa or Odin Sphere?

http://gematsu.com/2013/05/dragons-crown-has-scaling-enemies-hooded-companions

Dragon’s Crown is “tough,” especially if you’re trying to best your high score or finish a stage faster for new loot. “Without using a hodgepodge of techniques and weapons, the AI will make quick work of you.” Each level ends with a powerful boss.

Enemies scale with you, meaning as you get stronger, they do, too. They’ll increase in number, as well.

Nah, it works in vs. mode as well.   People messed with it all day yesterday and managed to break the game with it, so now the glitch is already banned at Evo.   Not that anyone was gonna pull it off on stream, it's too damn specific.   people don't even do kubota escape, which can be useful and life-saving and is so easy that any noob can do it consistently.

What was the point of getting Amano and Umetsu and making that new label if all you were going to do is make the same crap. Yeah, you won't fool me next time Compile Heart.

jeez, this is like seeing a formerly classy actress doing porn...only I'm not itching to see what this is like.

Well, Kimatani did have experience with those Capcom beat em ups, so

"if a compile heart has art from amano and music from uematsu is it still a bad game?"

truly a moral question way deeper than any WRPG has ever done

[Madrun Badrun]

MGS4 is really boring and mediocre.   WTF happened?  How the fuck did they mess up with the radar?

[StealthFan]

I think MGS4's gameplay is good but that story is fucking awful. I can't play an MGS if I'm not invested in the story. What fucking garbage.

[recursivelyenumerable]

jeez, this is like seeing a formerly classy actress doing porn...only I'm not itching to see what this is like.

Uematsu actually had a couple porn music gigs in the early 80s before joining Square, no joke

[Don Flamenco]

local store has the MGS4 LE for $20.  Not gonna play it again, but sure why not

nice

[brob]

Saw SoulCailbur V was $20 on PSN today so I figured, sure! why not, I like me some fightan and Ivy is hott.


Currently at 3% with an ETA in 185 minutes.

I could go to the city, buy a gad damn boxed copy and be proficient at making the curs online submit before this thing is even halfway done. I hate myself.

[brob]

50%!

[fistfulofmetal]

I've had no issues with PSN downloads for a really long time. I remember when they were slow but the last year or two they've been just as fast as comparable services like STEAM and XBL.

[archnemesis]

I didn't have any issues until I recently switched back to using WiFi. Now it's awful. With an ethernet cable I could get 5 MB/s which is perfectly fine.

[Don Flamenco]

pause/unpause works miracles.   

[brob]

Installing!

...


 

[archnemesis]

Yeah, that's terribly slow. I just downloaded a 1.4 GB game from Steam in three minutes.

[brob]

I wasn't using an ethernet, but yeah. Shit's trash. I get 20MB/s on every other device I have hooked up.

[archie4208]

I beat The Darkness 2.  Pretty good game, but it was only 4 hours long.  Still worth playing if you can get it for $2.50 on a sale.

[archnemesis]

Four hours is the perfect length for a B-tier first-person shooter.

[Madrun Badrun]

I just beat MGS4.  The game has slightly less than 9 hours of cut scenes, and my total time was 16 hours.  wtf.

[Raban]

You just got Kojima'd.

fuck yeah!

[Madrun Badrun]

I just beat MGS4.  The game has slightly less than 9 hours of cut scenes, and my total time was 16 hours.  wtf.

Sorry man, but at this stage of the game, you don't get to buy a Kojima game, find out the cutscenes are longer than the gameplay, and say 'wtf'.  You knew that shit going in.

Its not that the cut scenes were so long, its just there was no gameplay to go with it.  3 probably had about the same length in cutscene total time but it was a very long game to make up for it. 

Also the bosses sucked. 

[Rufus]

Nah, MGS3 only has about 5 hours worth of cutscenes. Going by a playlist on Youtube that seems to have all of them.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

"only 5 hours worth of custcenes"

[Rufus]

Well, it's less than 9 and there's more game and fuck. Look, I'm not defending this, but the one number is smaller than the other and that needs pointing out, OK?

[fistfulofmetal]

MGS3 is the perfect mix of gameplay and cutscene.

[Raban]

Really, a 50/50 ratio is "perfect" for you? Try zero cutscenes, all gameplay. That's the perfect ratio.

[fistfulofmetal]

Nope.

[Positive Touch]

Yep.

[brob]

I like a good intro cut-scene, or attract movie.

VF4:EVO's Goh attract movie is superb.

[Don Flamenco]

This is okay:

[Raban]

What is your favorite Legend of Zelda game and why?

MIYAMOTO:

My favorite is the original. However, when Nintendo 64 came out, I enjoyed working on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, because, as I mentioned before, we were redefining how video games were created and played.

At least he's still got his taste.
