Games you regret buying

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:58:57 -0500

Pretty straight forward, just go by the title. Current gen mostly but throw in and thing else you feel like mentioning.

All my Virtual Console purchases
Deadly Creatures
Endless Ocean
Red Steel (traded in)
Oddworld 1 & 2
Animal Crosing: City Folk (traded in)
New Play Control Pikmin

Does anyone else feel betrayed?

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:28:01 -0500

Okay, so let's roll back here a moment.

Back in early 2008, High Voltage Software announced The Conduit, and it looked great. It had pretty good graphics, great character models, what appeared to be fun and lag-free online, and what they said to be a 10 to 12 hour campaign. It was looking like the Halo of the Wii so to speak.

So, I finally get my copy of The Conduit, just like everyone else. For the first few days, it's great. I play the story mode a bit, and the online is pretty fun and for the most part, lag-free.

Now the problems hit.

Over the last 2 or 3 days, I haven't been able to get into one single match. Not a single one. It takes almost 10 minutes for all of the players to authenticate and to get into a match, and when I have gotten into a match, I end up with that strange spawning error and have to reset my console.

*Facepalm*

To make matters worse, I finally beat the campaign mode, and guess what? There are only 9 story missions. Yep. 9 story missions. Took me about 3 and a half hours altogether.

Now, at first I thought "this game is going to be a must-buy", now I feel as though it's ranking on the Essential Wii Games list should be firmly booted down to Good. I am really disjointed.

Now that a lot of people are online, there are tons of bugs being exploited, there is tons of lag, and there are glitches galore everywhere I go, and I am getting extremely fed up with it.

I payed $50 for this game, and eagerly anticipated it for months, and they have the gumption to serve me something like this, a half-witted Half-Life with a barely functional online mode, not to mention the graphics aren't even all that great, Geist, released in 2005 for the GC, has better texturing. That's pathetic.

I just want to see, am I the only one who feels disappointed here? I know a lot of you, like myself, fell into the trap of thinking this was a worthwhile experience, but now that all of these underlying problems have come about, I'm getting more doubts.

Gamestop rant.

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:07:22 -0500

So last night, I decide I want to freshen up the ol' GC library a bit, so I buy Eternal Darkness, Geist, and Ikaruga. I payed for overnight shipping and got them today, good stuff.

So, I start with Geist. Great game, fun multiplayer, all fine and good. Next, I go on to Ikaruga. Now, this game is 9 years old and is still $40. $40 for a Gamecube game. I pop it in my Gamecube, and guess what? It doesn't work. The disc skips. I look at the bottom of the disc, and guess what else? There are bite marks and scratches on it. Lovely.

I next tried my Eternal Darkness CD, and again to my dismay, it did not work. And here I was thinking they actually meant it when they said "all games are in working condition". Yeah right.

This makes me so mad, I can't even begin to tell you. This has happened before too, with my SOCOM 3, my Goblin Commander, and with some hardware. It is absolutely disgusting. I don't think they even play the games for more than a minute, they just see if the Gamecube startup screens come up, and if it does, they pop it back in. Disgraceful.

So, I sent a long and angry email to them, and have yet to get a reply, but once I do, I will post the outcome. They better do something to compensate me because if not I am going to be seriously infuriated.

...Gamestop...

Sucker Punch and Radical Actually Responded to Yahtzee!! Warning: Freaking Weird

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:31:07 -0500

Ben Croshaw Wrote:

In my recent Prototype Vs. InFamous video you may remember that I found myself unable to honestly call either game the best. Both were stronger in individual areas - Infamous wins on story and side missions while Prototype wins on combat and dick potential - but overall they balance each other out. I wasn't satisfied, though. There has to be a winner, if only to decide which name to read out first when giving out the joint prize. So at the end of that video I suggested an unbiased tie-breaker that could be kept unaffected by actual game quality. Namely, which of the two studios could produce the best image of the rival game's main character wearing women's lingerie.

Well, imagine my surprise when representatives from both Sucker Punch and Radical announced their intention to take this final showdown seriously. So, without further ado, let's set out on this visual odyssey, and never speak of it again.

Here's the entry from the Prototype team. They actually hedged their bets with two submissions, the big fat cheats, but in the interests of fairness we'll only count one. Click here to view the other if it's that important to you, but I felt this was the stronger of the two.

Of course, I use the word 'stronger' guardedly. I wonder if whoever created this went through art school. I wonder if at the time they ever saw themselves using their talents this way. Anyway, Radical felt that the stipulation of 'Cole McGrath in a woman's bra' was open to interpretation, and decided instead to go for 'Cole McGrath after getting drunk and falling into the dumpster behind a burlesque house'.

I'm sure I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing what Cole's pubes looked like, or indeed his potatoey thighs, on one of which he appears to have a birthmark in the shape of Marilyn Monroe's face. Still, I like the fact that he's using his lightning powers to make magical glitter sparkles, and the unicorn is a nice touch, especially the fact that it seems to be mid-way through a confused double-take.

Now, let's take a look at the InFamous team's entry, and... what's this?

Okay. Radical. Sucker Punch. I'm not angry. Just own up. Which one of you copied the other's homework? I find it hard to believe that you'd both independently interpret 'woman's bra' to also incorporate a rainbow and a slightly embarrassed unicorn. Also note that both characters are using their respective superpowers to express their feminine sides, as we can clearly see that Alex has shapeshifted himself some very lovely titties and a pair of child-bearing hips.

But then again, these are the same teams who both independently created sandbox games about superpowered assholes, so I guess it's not just GREAT minds that think alike. And just like the games themselves, despite the individual elements they're not that similar. Sucker Punch's image looks like it could be the cover of a romance novel, while Radical's image has more of a 'flyer found in a Vegas telephone booth' feel to it.

THE WINNER!

Oh yeah, that. I'm tempted to declare it a draw again and run another tie-breaker based around, say, which team sends me the most money. But I hate to shilly-shally and I'd really like to get on with my life and attempt to forget about Cole McGrath's hairy midsection.

It's a close call, but I'm going to declare Sucker Punch the winner by one lovingly-rendered pair of breasts. Also their unicorn is a much prouder, mightier steed, and Alex's expression is delightfully coquettish. Therefore InFamous must be the better game. Buy InFamous. Prototype's still good, though. Buy it as well.

Thanks to Radical Entertainment and Sucker Punch Productions for being such good sports. You sick, sick *****.

HAHAHAHAHAH. Made me so happy to see that they responded. However at the same time, it scared me greatly. Lol. Good sports though.

The really long sentence game.

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:41:13 -0500

Well, I figured it was about time I came up with a forum game. It's pretty simple. I, the first person, introduces a sentence. You then add to that sentence. Each time you add to the sentence, you'll copy everything that came before it, for example...

First Poster: Hello

Next Poster: Hello my name is

Next Poster: Hello my name is Roger Baker

Next Poster: Hello my name is Roger Baker the tax collector

On and on, making the sentence larger and larger and larger,

but you CAN NOT use PERIODS, it has to be one really, really big sentence.

I'll begin...

Hello my name is

PS2 still viable?

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 23:17:55 -0500

Hello all,

Well, I've come to a bit of a crossroads it seems.

I do not own a ton of games, I try to only buy ones I really want and enjoy them as long as possible. I have three consoles, a Wii, a Gamecube (my GC is now inside my Wii, however), and a PS3. The games I have for these consoles are...

GC:

Timesplitters: Future Perfect
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde
F-Zero GX
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Metroid Prime
Pikmin
Tales of Symphonia
Animal Crossing
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

Wii:

Boom Blox: Bash Party
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
The Conduit
Quantum of Solace (<3)
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii Edition

PS3:

Warhawk

(I know, I know, no Super Mario Galaxy. I bought it, and it was a good game, but I'm just not a platformer kind of guy, so I returned it. And yes, I realize there is no SSBB in my Wii collection, but that's what I have melee for, right?)

As you can see, both my GC and Wii are very well accounted for, I have most of the essential games, as well as a few personal exceptions here and there. However, my PS3 is obviously lacking.

I use to own little big planet, resistance 2, killzone 2 and resident evil 5, but only Warhawk could hold my attention, so I returned all of them except it.

Now, it just so happens that I found $90 laying around on a gift card for Gamestop, and I want to buy something with it. Now, I already have my Uncharted 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy reserved, so everything new is taken care of till 2010 for me. So, here is my question...

Even though the PS2 is very old (almost 10 years now), is it still worth purchasing? I use to own a PS2, but I never really got much use out of it. Then again, I also didn't take advantage of the great games on the system. So, basically, tell me...Is it worth spending the $60 on a used fat PS2 and using the $30 to buy some games?

Before answering that question, I'm going to list the types of games I like. Try and pick out some games for me on the system that are really good of that genre and list them for me:

Hack and Slash/Dungeon Crawl
Third Person Shooters
First Person Shooters
Real Time Strategy
Any game like final fantasy tactics.

So, go ahead, suggest away.

Project: You got your NES on my GBC!

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:06:23 -0500

I'm on a quest to make a GBC look like a controller for the NES such as the GBA SP that looks like a NES controller only downgraded to a GBC

I'm going to need:
Some Scotch Painters Tape
A Tri-Wing Screwdriver
My Old GBC
A Trip To The Flea Market
An NES Controller
Grey Paint
Black Paint
A Brain
Steady Hands
And last but not least...MOARMONEZ(but not that much)

The Hardest thing to do(I hope) will be to get a ride to the Flea Market but hopefully the controller will only be 2-5$ I just neeed some people to conveniently not be working on a weekend because for some stupid reason thats the only time the flea market is open.

dragon ball z bt3

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:24:28 -0500

More Desperate Struggle Info, Possibly the Wii's Last No More Heroes

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:46:20 -0500

Suda 51, in an interview with Edge magazine, brings us somewhat welcome information regarding his upcoming Wii exclusive No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle.

The enemies' AI, according to Suda, has been improved. This will be apparent when the enemies attack you. Depending on their weapon class, they will either be engaged in ranged or close combat. Also mentioned were secondary characters you'll be playing as. They will each have their own style and "cool factor". Don't worry, Travis fans, for your hero won't be out of the spotlight for good. Suda gives us news that Travis will be piloting a giant robot, obviously hinting at large-scale epic battles. Santa Destroy has also been upgraded, now populated "one-and-a-half times" the original setting, and has been visually upgraded, allowing motion blur and HDR lighting.

Unfortunately for Wii-only owners, Suda thinks that this will be the last No More Heroes installment on the Wii.

"I think this is the last No More Heroes that is going to be in development on Wii. To expand No More Heroes to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we've done everything we can with it now."
- Suda51

I wonder where Suda plans to take No More Heroes. Some argue that if it were to go to either the PlayStation or Xbox, that it would be just another button masher, which in my opinion, isn't much different than what it is right now. What do you readers think?

Qunatum of Solace Thread

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:45:30 -0500

I just figured I would make a thread about Quantum of Solace for people to discuss.

What do you think of the game? What's your favorite class? What's your favorite weapon? All that jazz.

Personally, I think it's a great game. I never get lag online, it has really good controls, good frame rate, awesome multiplayer...I'd have to say I enjoy it more than The Conduit honestly.

What about you guys?
