Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations and patiently waiting for Apollo Justice.
I just finished Justice for All a week ago, it was by far the worst of the three games out already.

Will do! I just started the part of the story where I have to get the 3 metals to forge the Phantom Sword.
I'll admit I've spent more of my time on Phoenix Wright though. It's just really really fun solving these cases and it's pretty comical at times too. I'm glad I put the money in for a DS, it was totally worth it.
@Ryl: How is Trials and Tribulations so far?
Ryllharu
Thu, 02-07-2008, 05:15 AM
Really good. Humor is back in full force, you get to play Mia in a flashback case, the investigation is not nearly as tedious as it was in Justice for All, and one of the cases (at least so far) does not appear to be a murder case!
Don't get me wrong, the last case in Justice for All was pretty good, and I liked Franziska as the prosecutor more than Godot in Trials and Tribulations. It's just the first three cases in Justice for All were either beyond tedious during investigation, incredibly hard to match evidence during trials, or the worst trial in any game (the circus one).
Trials and Tribulations is back to the old Ace Attorney levels.

Geometry Wars : Galaxies - DS
That game is strangely addictive..
Other than that.
Not really games, but I'm still using lots of my time on them.
Ever 17 The out of infinity - PC Visual Novel.
Yume Miru Kusuri: A Drug That Makes You Dream - PC Visual Novel, Eroge.
Figures of Happiness - PC Visual Novel, Eroge.
Crescendo - PC Visual Novel, Eroge.
I've got some more, but right now, they are the ones I'm reading..
If you manage to find Ever 17 in a store, or in a bargain bin, get it, it's totally worth reading.
(It may be a bit hard to find now that Hirameki (http://www.hirameki-int.com/) went out of business.. those bastard.. they were one of the very very few company to bring Visual Novel to the US.. even though it's filled with typo)

Yeah, I was pretty much forced to do headshots with the M21, since it was so weak and I wasn't too good at hitting them repeatedly, but with something like R700+Stopping Power, you kinda lose the habit. It's much easier for snipers and the higher up assault rifles though, compared to the others.
edit: I don't think I've even seen a golden weapon yet....

I alwasy get so fucking embarressed by Last Stand. Atleast when it felt like you've humped like hundreds of bullets and yet he bitch slaps you in the face.
And the last unlockable Sniperr rifle is the most bitching rifle ever.... it's like Scream Aim Fire (point taken!)
Damn I so want that weapon : <!

I don't like any of the sniper rifles. For most distances, an accurate gun like M16 or G3 is perfectly capable of picking people off. With a sniper rifle you're limited to just camping.

The only sniper I really like is the R700, since with I go for the one shot, one kill philosophy when sniping, and it's the only one that does it for me, since I don't have the .50 yet, but the R700's still better IMO. I thought the M14 was going to be good, but experience tells me otherwise. Maybe it'll be better when I get a red dot sight for it. Right now, I'm having a bit of fun using a full stealth knifing class:
Primary: P60+silencer
Secondary: M1911.45+silencer
Stun x3
UAV Jammer
Extreme Conditioning
It sucks on nice open maps like Bog, but it's quite effective on ones like backlot and pipeline with lots of buildings.
I did have Dead Silence instead of Ex Con, but the server's so noisy, they can't hear me most of the time anyway. :D

There are two kind of snipers and if your good enough and non camper you have the way of doing things, hit and run, wich is very, very evil. Alhtough, there are very limited people who do that anyway but I've scored good stats by doing that.
And I just achieved the god damn last unlockable sniper. And it's God-Like when it comes to hit and runt O_O!

I also thought M14 was good until I used it religiously for a while. It has tremendous power, but the recoil is ridiculous. It's almost impossible to land successive hits at a distance. G3 is a very similar gun but with much lower recoil. It also has pretty good damage with Stopping Power.
Right now I've grown quite fond of the M16. It has a perfect balance of accuracy and power. 2 bursts with Stopping Power is usually enough for a kill at any distance if you land about 4/6 bullets. Plus, it has essentially zero recoil.
My other favorite gun is the Uzi with a silencer. It has terrible range but in close quarters, it's probably the most lethal weapon in the game outside of shotguns. It has tremendous fire rate and decent damage to go along with it. You can often kill the target before he has time to even put enough bullets in you. It also has excellent hip firing accuracy, so you just run around gunning people down. It works wonders on maps like Backlot, Pipeline, Vacant and Ambush.

Just picked this up myself. I've always been a huge fan of the Advance Wars games, and this is no exception. It has a much darker, grittier feel to it and it works incredibly well. The new units are great, and while I miss the old familiar characters I'm enjoying the story so far. Need to get some multi going over wi-fi!

A little bit of Twilight Princess in between a lot more of Pheonix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. I finally got to the final case, and I have to say that Trials and Tribulations is easily as good as the first title, if not better.
I still liked the final case in Ace Attorney the most (at least so far, this last case is showing enough promise to exceed it), with all the fun forensic investigation and gripping storyline, but this final case has been set up from the beginning of this game, and adds a surprising amount of depth to Maya, and one very neglected character...Phoenix Wright himself.

Assassin's Creed is a great game i played on mine Xbox 360. But when you have finished the game in the end of the game after >the credits< you will be back in your clinic. Where you terribly become glad of run around and walk around. At least, to sure if you turn your special vision on and look behind the walls......... hidden text are writed!!!. Texts from which you can possible make a study of it then you can conclude that Assassin's Creed 2 can come that could play in Japan.
So if i was you Take the effort and time to look at the credits.

Really good streamlined version of Civ, cartoony feel, faster paced (games take 2-3 hours on the Chieftan rather than 2 days) but still a lot of fun. Some of the things in the eras are a little broken (Greek Hoplites can nearly defeat tanks when they are defending a city!), but other than that, it's definitely worth playing if you're a fan of Civ.

thought i posted this here earlier but i guess not...
ati's latest driver included a WOW trial.... needless to say i just spend the last 5 hours playing...
****
Those 5 hours were wasted because I died while on this quest w\ some random other person... my cpu rebooted and then when i was almost to my corpse the guy who was questing w\ me disbanded and then i went at it alone and died again eventually then came back and then died again and decided to goto bed while dead.... and apparently its not a good idea to log off while you're in spirit state because it wont let me back into the world w\ that char....
So i made another !!!! and have him leveled in about half the time as the first. I'm going to go ahead and buy in the next day or two. Too bad I have to work fulltime and also do household chores, otherwise i'd be able to both play and sleep well.

bought Age of Conan and stopped playing it after 2 days when I reached level 37
not very entertaining
I also bought Rise of Legends a week ago, old game... still fun and it was very cheap
and my personal favorite: Mount&Blade never had so much fun in months... started with the demo where you can only reach level 7 and got the fullversion a few days later..
it only requires 300MB hard drive space.
I think everyone who likes the medieval age and riding with a big sword or axe into enemy lines of spearmen or crossbowmen should at least play the demo...
its simply fun to rise your own army and fight with it on the battlefield against enemy troops.
the game is a bit like medieval 2 only that the fights are in third person (or first person)... you can fight has a mercenary captain or as a vassall of a king. manage your own village, recruit and train troops, do quests, besiege castles etc.
too bad that not someone like blizzard or THQ is picking this game up... the developers need more money ^^

Oh... and will probably begin Metal Gear Solid 4 later tonight seeing as my PS3 just arrived home 10 minutes ago :D

FF4 is my favorite final fantasy game ever. I've played through it so many times.
SO.... I have now played well over 15 hours of WoW since my trial started thursday or friday, *cough* i upgraded my account so i can keep playing.
was kind of funny because i got invited into some dungeon and had a bunch of high level players killing all the enemies and i was just getting lots of free loot, pretty much upgraded all my armor and weapons and got tons of free $$
I was wondering though, it seems that once you reach level 70 you just afk in the big towns or something lol or ride around on whatever kind of 'mount' you have so that noobs can see that you're level 70

Soul Calibur 4!
They took out some of the modes from SC3, but I really don't miss them all that much. The character models are great, the create-a-fighter mode was expanded a ton, and you can even give all the regular characters the same swappable clothing. Idealistic is right about it being a pretty game, all the fabric flows nicely, the moves fluid. They fixed a lot of the balancing problems that SC3 had.
In the 360 version, Yoda is a little cheap, but makes up for it by being slow as hell. The Apprentice is cheap, but with the right fast character, you can take down the average player using him online (in non-ranked matches).
Easily the best Create-a-Fighter mode in any fighting game.
Idealistic
Fri, 08-01-2008, 09:32 PM
^^ Definitely. And the fact that they don't allow you to customize the movesets, means it's perfectly fine to use your custom characters in online/competitive play. So if you always liked let's say, Mitsurugi, but always wanted to play as a female Samurai, you can. Or if you like Taki, and want to play a male ninja, you can.
I have encountered some very funny creations.... Saw a Tony Stark too.. LOL... Oh and of course, there are a lot of anime characters.
darkshadow
Fri, 08-01-2008, 10:33 PM
I dont really like the creat-a-char, lots of options yes, but no unique fighting styles, thats what makes sc3 CaS still superior though, i mean how hard would it have been to just port those over :/ meh.
Also why must a make a custom char each time i just want to use a different weapon for someone, that makes no sense at all.
The bonus chars are pretty so-so too, thx to the no unique fighting styles, I mean what's the point of shura having 4 swords, when she only uses 2 cause she has cervantes' moveset? meh.
Also no Hwang seong gyeong! *cry*, yun-seong just doesn't quite cut it. Another char that is missing is the edgemaster/inferno/charade type char that uses a diff. weapon each time, that was great since random char is useless in this game cause after every match you have to go back and select random char if you want a different one for the next match.
The edgemaster type chars kept everything nice and varied.
Though this might seem like a huge rant, i still love the game to death and it rox, i just hope they release some extra chars (HWANG) and some more fighting styles for CaS as some form of dlc, plus they should hurry with the vader/yoda dlc aswell.

And for US releases add rock band 2, tales of vesperia, the wheelman and armored core for answer.

So far, looks like they messed with a good thing. We'd be lucky if they just made a GTA-clone like the first one. I guess they couldn't get the source code for GTA:IV in time to make this game. If I were you, I'd wait 2 months, then pick this up from eBay for $20. This is probably the last time I pre-order a game.
What really bites is that I could have replayed BF:Bad Company like I wanted to, then read all the negative reviews for Mercs2, then go on vacation, then wait another couple months to buy it for $20 on eBay.

That said, RvR (realm vs realm) combat is quite possibly the most well done in any MMO I've played. The balance is perfect, but not in the usual sense. You actually need to use tactics and think instead of rely on super powerful gear to win the day. A squishy like a Sorceress (my personal favorite so far) will get beaten to death easily by nearly every other class, but have them distracted by two other units and you can easily kill three at once. I got 42 assisted kills just yesterday on Khaine's Embrace (one of the RvR scenarios that you can just hop into line while you play PvE).
Public Quests are another cool thing about it. Walk into a particular area, and you instantly start a quest. Kill so many of this or that, and then the next two stages begin, with a time limit. By the third stage you really need to use a lot of teamwork to actually pull it off. Anyone can jump in at any time, but those who contribute the most get the best chance when everyone rolls for loot (and loot is always rolled for, so everyone has a fair chance).
It's rare that you find a MMO where tactics and teamwork trump gear in PvP combat. Is it a WoW killer? I think it's a different audience, maybe a subset, but it should gain a pretty strong following in its own right.

WoW still has the better "PvP" (Arena 2on2 3on3 5on5), but War-online has the best RvR out there.
so ya, it's a different audience... War will find players from DaoC and other PvP MMO's
and WoW will always be for people who like to raid with and do some PvP from time to time.
I played the beta of Warhammer online... but didn't like it much, the graphics look even worse than in WoW and I don't want to stop raiding... Warhammer has PvE too, but it is really bad compared to what WoW offers.
I wish WoW would have some RvR too though :(
well, maybe with WotLK which comes out in November. I read that they took some good things from RvR in Warhammer and copied it ^^
btw: I installed Homeworld, Homeworld Cataclysm, Homeworld 2.... man, I want them to make Homewolrd 3!
It's simply the best Space-RTS out here... I actually thought that I would be shocked by the old graphics from Homeworld... but it was better than I expected

While I'm not able to say that WoW's PvE is better or not (haven't played it in a long time), Warhammer does not make you kill 300 of something that drops some item at 1%. It's almost always a kill count or locate items while hitting a kill count. Though I suppose you were talking more about endgame PvE.
If you're basing graphics off anything other than the open beta (since you didn't specify) I'm told the game has changed a lot since the early parts of the closed beta. They locked down the graphics so the closed beta members could look for bugs like they were supposed to. Other than a little cartoony shine that Blizzard uses in all its games to make them look better (yes even the character models from Diablo 2) the graphics are quite comporable. Just like Blizzard does for WoW and the rest of their titles, Mythic designed it to run on the most systems.
Warhammer does have city sieges, which are like raids, but again, those are still RvR.
As we're both saying, different audiences.
(...and for the record, City of Heroes blew WoW away on graphics even though it came out before it)

Uh, even in beta, Warhammer's graphics blew WoW's graphics away. The settings were not even optimized or fully fuctional yet and still looked way better. AA does almost nothing for WoW, but it's easily noticeable in WAR. The real difference is in art direction, but I do like both. WoW more vibrant, and WAR more gritty and dark.
That said, I've been playing WoW since release. I've gotten Glad in seasons 2 and 3, and have done sunwell up to Felmyst. So I'm pretty much burned on BC. I'm prob gonna buy WAR tomorrow when I have the chance. Most likely Order on Dark Crag, and Destruction on Badlands.

not at all... the shadows and landscapes in Wotlk and in general, the instances in BC/WoW-Classic > Warhammer...
the only thing which is better graphic wise in Warhammer are the characters. however WoW is alrdy nearly 5 years old.
and with wotlk even that changes most likely because of the new shadows and sets with more textures/polygons
If you're basing graphics off anything other than the open beta (since you didn't specify) I'm told the game has changed a lot since the early parts of the closed beta

trust me when I tell you that quests in WoW are the best in the MMO-genre so far..
and even though the "please kill 20 rabbits and bring me the ears from the bigger ones"-quests exist, there are a lot of quests which are alot greater than that.
in Wotlk you will see a lot of scripted and instanced events.. (for example "The Battle for the Undercity".. you are raiding Undercity there with a few NPCs... namely Thrall and Sylvana's and a few others, pretty cool stuff)
and the "kill 20 rabbits" quests do also exist in Warhammer-online... thats just normal
it's just that they have a greater effect, because of the RvR content and victory points
I also played the Wotlk beta and the new quests and instances looked extremely awesome.
I don't know why so many people are saying that the Warhammer graphics are great... I expected a lot more than that :/
watch (might contain spoilers) this here (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=NIOcSxgSQm8&feature=related) and press on "watch in high quality and tell me again that warhammer has "so much better graphics
especially the part from 2:15 - end
here (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=VcO9TF94vIg&feature=related) is the first part btw for those who are interested
and that were only a few zones
another good video from the same guy can be found here
http://www.warcraftmovies.com/stream.php?id=85135&stream=Filefront
the only difference is that warhammer has less colorfull graphics... but that doesn't make the graphics better.. its more "realistic" but thats why it looks less impressive imho... however, for some reason they don't go with that "realistic look" till the end... there are zones who totally remind me of WoW and other zones which remind me of AoC.. So saying that Warhammer is using a more "realistic design" is actually wrong, but I think it's ok when we judge the overall-design.
but exactly that is what makes the graphic look boring imho...
I think especially the "warcraftmovies" link shows what Blizzard "comic-graphics" can do to improve the atmosphere.. It's a fantasy game... I 'want' to see colours which I don't see in real life... I like a glowing-dark blue, or silver-white trees glowing in the night while you and your party is questing in that forest... and If I have enough of all that, I can go back to the Borelean Tundra and enjoy a dark scenery with polution caused by orcs and goblins who live in their huge bulwark
Warhammer will never be able to show such a variety, simply because the warhammer universe doesn't allow it :/

You're confusing the amount of bright colors with actual texture quality, pixels per model, specular lighting, AA use, shaders, the use of your card's TMU's, and among many other things.
I hope you realize that the point of graphics in games is to be as close to reality as possible. That's the strive and goal. This is a text book definition. Granted the draw of WoW is it's art style and direction, which I do enjoy. But saying in terms of straight up graphics, WoW is obviously inferior. Sure you might prefer it's art style over WAR's, but that is a different story.
Just take a gander here: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=8VFgnl42eKs
And an fyi, the open beta didn't come with all the graphical optimizations. They didn't even include a GPU slider until the 2nd to last day of Open Beta.
Just a little tidbit, I could run WoW maxed settings on a AMD 3000+ 1.8 ghz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, GeForce 7600 GS and run smooth in raids; SSC, TK, BT, SWP.
Using the same system, Tier 1 Scenario's I would chop down to 15 fps on bare minimum settings. But I'll admit part of that is that they've got optimization and kinks to work out, since 3rd or 4th day of the Open Beta, they released a patch that improved my FPS by maybe 3-5 during RvR.

I should upgrade that :/

Warhammer will never be able to show such a variety, simply because the warhammer universe doesn't allow it These statements alone show how little of Warhammer you obviously played. You might have played just one of the factions, maybe two.
You want shining towers, trashed citadels, poisoned purple lands opposing verdant hills, lush green forests, moonlit seas and all kinds of glowing artifacts...you should have played at least into the second and third maps of the High Elf and Dark Elf campaigns. All of the "realism" comes from the Order camp. It doesn't get any more fantasy with Chaos, and the Elves, and I haven't even tried a Dwarf/Greenskin yet.
Warhammer allows for quite a bit more than you imagine. Demon summoning is normal, twisted disgusting raped landscapes is all about what the Chaos are. High magic has twisted and corrupted the hell out of all the elven lands, just because of a little political/religious strife.
trust me when I tell you that quests in WoW are the best in the MMO-genre so far..
and even though the "please kill 20 rabbits and bring me the ears from the bigger ones"-quests exist, there are a lot of quests which are alot greater than that.
in Wotlk you will see a lot of scripted and instanced events.. (for example "The Battle for the Undercity".. you are raiding Undercity there with a few NPCs... namely Thrall and Sylvana's and a few others, pretty cool stuff)As great as Blizzard is at writing backstory (Starcraft and Warcraft II's original manuals were more story than game mechanics), Warcraft is just a quick copy-paste of Warhammer with the factions rewritten to be a racial struggle rather than a religious one. Warhammer has vastly more history than Warcraft, and if you read the text accompanying the quests, you'd see a lot more of that. The public quests are fairly instanced, with champions (that I might recognize if I knew Warhammer better) charging out at each chapter to slaughter you, but still remain open.
If you want a backstory or a huge fleshed out story, you should have been reading the Tome of Knowledge, accessible from the menu at any time. The book fills out as you play through the game, filling with all the lore from 25 years of Warhammer history, and plenty of original content too. Not only that, you get all the fun and worthless things like titles from it as well.
In lighter news, I also just finished Portal. Took a while to get around to it, but I really enjoyed it.

I finished Crysis Warhead today. It was pretty short just like the original Crysis, and I found it to be a lot easier. There's a lot less close quarters combat, and for most of the game you can just sit back and snipe all the enemies. During the few close quarter fights, I just went stealth and punched everyone to death.
Not a bad game though. Performance is better than the original Crysis.

Forgive me for not randomly assuming you had a gamepad. But it's okay, there's douchebags like you that make the world what it is.
Gamepad on the PC is no different than playing on a console, except a better resolution, and usually worse optimization, like what Capcom did to previous PC ports of DMC games.
And I don't know how you got that information, but I can't find anything, anywhere of the 360 and PS3 versions being ports of the PC version. It strikes me as odd especially since it started development first and foremost on the PS3, then branched into 360 and PC versions later announced. With the PC version being released half a year later than the console versions is rather peculiar if it is indeed the original.

You are forgiven for being an ignorant fuck, like I said, gamepads for pc have existed since pc gaming, the sixaxis ps3 actually existed for years on pc under the name "microsoft sidewinder". There are currently 20 million x360 owners, how many of those do you think have a wired controller? And the ps3 controller ( 14 million ps3 owners ) can be hooked up to a pc with little effort aswell.
So yeah, you are forgiven for your ignorance
LoL worse optimization? rofl you did not read my post at ALL did you, dmc4 and every other current gen game developed by capcom are pc games, then ported to consoles, thats how their engine works, pc dmc4 was released later because of added features ( which I mentioned in my other post ) and fixing of glitches that were present in console ports

I know there are gamepads for the PC. Obviously. I know, I'm not ignorant. I'm not stupid. I'm not a douchebag.
It's pretty obvious whose the ignorant one here, since you randomly threw console owner numbers like it matters. Clearly not everyone has your PC specs, which is why people opt to play consoles, without having the need to upgrade your system every 2 years. Despite the ease of pirating on the PC, which is just as simple these days on the 360. If there were no plans to pirate, if you already have a 360 or a PS3, why would you not get it for either console, rather than wait half a year if say you had a lower-end system.
You also have your facts wrong. They didn't develop the game FOR the PC first. The development process was done the majority of the time ON a PC. They're totally different things. As is nearly every single game out on the market as well. Unless you provide a reliable source that actually states Capcom made it FOR the PC first, and then based the ports off that I'll believe you. If not, I'll still believe that they are still using their internal MT Framework to develop multi-console games.
The added features are laughable when you have half a year to do it. A turbo mode, which makes the game run faster, and an overtly simple way of making a hard mode by just adding more enemies on your screen. Seems synonymous for adding more enemies on a single screen with more power on the PC.
I must've hit a nerve to cause such a nerd rage. And it's about a game on a computer. Grow up.

I just started Tales of Vesperia and i have to say that the game is simply beautiful to look at and the combat flow really well plus the new overlimit system is pretty awesome. Personally i prefer the story and characters in Tales of the Abyss since they are generally more likable and less generic than the ones in Vesperia so far but i guess it's hard to make a character who is as awesome as Jade.

rofl nerd rage, you love making those pathetic little stabs don't you?.
No clearly not everyone has my specs, but the game is running at a much higher then console spec; 1050p, super high settings, 8x AA, 60fps cutscenes
the console versions run at 720p, high, 0x AA, 30 fps cutscenes.
And as you can see, even at my settings, and with my hardware, Im still far above the required 60fps mark, meaning that even if you scale it down a bit, and remove the AA, ppl with hardware,much lower then mine, would still have an experience that is better then the console version.
LDK on:
AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ OC @ 2.3Ghz Brisbane AM2
2048MB DDR2 667 Ram
nVidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 256bit @ stock clocks
Logitech RumblePad 2 Dual Analog USB Gamepad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-NJ-LbqCNE&feature=user
Hardly my specs.
The features aren't laughable at all, LDK mode is more then just a hard mode, its a way to push the action to the limits, DMD mode is still much harder, LDK is just for non stop awesome action, combined with turbo mode, you get an experience you just can't get on consoles. Add faster loading AND fixed glitches and its obvious which version is superior.
And you say MT framework, do you even know what it means? MT stands for multi-target, meta-tools and multi-thread, this engine started as a PC/360 engine, cause of the similarities between the 2 platforms, hence why dead rising was as 360 only title and still is. Games using this engine are developed using the PC side of the tools, then its ported to the 360 side, and finally makes its to ps3.
In the case of DMC it was PC first, then ps3. After the multiplatform stance of Capcom was announced, the PC version was ported to the 360, again cause of the similarties, only a fool would port ps3 code to 360, if the PC code resembles it much more.
This was stated in numerous interviews over the past year after the multiplatform ( Multi-Target) Stance announcement.
I don't have to proof anything, you either believe me or you don't.

You are still confusing something being developed for something, rather than on something. I don't know where you are getting that it was developed for the PC first. The producer, Kobayashi himself admitted that the game was made using a PC engine for the PS3 since they did not know the console's capabilities.
Devil May Cry 4 was announced as a PS3 exclusive in E3 2005, but that changed in March of 2007 when they announced it would not be an exclusive anymore. So while they were making the game for the PS3 for 2 years they were actually making the game for the PC first amirite?

Anyways, back on topic.
Been playing Warhammer Online recently. Have a 20 Black Orc on Badlands. It's been pretty fun. But queue times on Badlands are pretty bad. 20 minutes primetime during weekends, upwards of 45 on weekends. I started a week or so later than the launch date, 10-11 days after headstart players. But there's already level 40s, sheesh. Public Quests are a refreshing change to grinding rep, somewhat. Levelling from PVP is awesome. But collision detection in the game is extremely buggy, and not where it needs to be, since it promised a lot more. Playing it also got me interested in the Warhammer Lore a bit, and I might borrow a copy of my cousin's Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

I'm not confusing anything, like i said the engine runs on a pc, and has been doing so since the development of dead rising, for which the engine was created, If the engine was a 360 or ps3 engine it would NOT run on a pc, that's what DEVkits are for. It's like trying to run a win32 app in macosx, not going to work.
So because the engine runs on a pc, it has a pc architecture, which means every code that needs to run on a 360 or ps3 would need porting first. Being announced as a ps3 exclusive is totally irrelevant, it still needs to be ported from the pc engine, as will every mt framework capcom game. No good pc version, no good console versions.
Oh and where was the talk about gamepads in my last post?

I started playing a game called King's Bounty last week and it's highly addictive. I've never played Heroes of Might and Magic, but this is apparently very similar to that series.

I played King's Bounty and i dont like its gameplay - heroes III and V is better in my opinion.

Smolderthorn, but I may be moving on to Emerald Dream very soonm, if my friend doesn't shut up about how Horde is supposedly much better than Alliance.
I play on Mannoroth (horde), I have a level 70 mage there and Altar of Storms (Alliance) 70 warrior and 70 hunter. If you guys play on either let me know~ My guild does Kara and ZA runs twice a week.

So, my Playstation 3's just kinda sitting there, not seeing much action besides playing Metal Gear Solid 4 on the odd occasion and have been wondering about the exclusives coming to the system that might compel me to keep it and not sell it.
Off the top of my head, there's not that many that might compel me to keep it after awhile. I already have a 360, so the only exclusive games announced I'm looking forward to are White Knight Story (might be another year atleast before it gets released in America), Valkyria Chronicles, Little Big Planet, God of War 3, and maybe Final Fantasy Versus 13 (though if it's a repeat of something like Dirge of Cerberus, ugh...)
I've been thinking about trading it for the Wii, but they've got a library problem as well. Great first-party games, and lack of good third party games (or that many to begin with). Anybody in the same situation, have the PS3 +Wii, or all 3 systems able to give some insight?

I've been messing around with a lot of the demos on PSN, apart from playing MGO occasionally. Some of the demos are pretty good, such as Pure, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Fifa 09, etc. I also bought Pixel Junk Monsters, which I thought was a simple and yet addictive game. Cheap too.

Been playing a whole lot of Little Big Planet beta lately, i have to say it's simply amazing. The full game will last for many years im sure, here's an example of what user generated content people are doing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Bz-2TS9NE.
Sony have also announced that they have 9 PS3 first party exclusives that they will announce for the first time at TGS this week, so hopefully there will be many games to look forward too.

For some reason USA Today, sent me 2 extra keys on top of the key I'm already using.
So, yeah, first 2 PM's gets the keys if you still haven't gotten into the Little Big Planet beta, which ends in another 3 days I believe.

Wed, 10-08-2008, 10:46 PM
using my ps3 to type this, since my pc is being used by someone. But yeah, you enter it in PSN. Under account management for your PSN id, there's a section that says ENTER PROMOTIONAL CODE or something. Thats where you put in beta codes and the like. I'll pm the code later tonight or tomorrow morning, since typing with the PS3 is a feat.

I believe that the codes are region restricted, but this can easily be fixed by just creating an account for that region

Apparently Psyke got it to work.
Just a word of warning, playing Online with other people is a lag fest, it's so bad. And the game is so buggy. It freezes VERY VERY frequently.
Kinda sad the beta's in this state when it's 2 weeks before the launch date. Which makes me guess that they've already shipped everything already, which would make the beta only a means of finding a way to make patches through PSN.
Sandldan
Thu, 10-09-2008, 10:49 AM
Well i have myself not encountered any freezes but i have experienced some pretty bad lag when playing online sometimes. And im pretty sure we'll see patches for the game as soon as it comes out. Media molecule have themselves said that this is more of a service like Youtube, so im expecting them to add a whole lot of content like costumes, more creation tools and just general improvements for this game.
But wow, this is just a short beta and there's already a whole lot of amazing levels out there, and i havent seen even one dick yet!

Thanks to Animus for giving me the beta code. Luckily I have a US account so it worked! I've just cleared the first 2 levels, and it's pretty interesting so far. Luckily I still have my PS2 eyetoy, so I've hooked it up and I'm taking pictures of whatever I can find to create new stickers. :)

Is it just me or does whenever I log on PSN or Off, it kicks everyone else on the network/router off? Connecting to Live doesn't do that.

Is it released in English? I'd be interested in checking it out. Depends on the gameplay though. I haven't been fascinated by recent Gundam game releases..
Oh, and platform?

Lol, how could it be in english, it has been just released in japan, even the NDS gundam 00 ( which is pretty awesome ) isn't in english yet, and has been released for a very long time.
Don't expect an english release of a game until an english dub of the anime its based on is made.

Well, the trailer for the english dub of 00 was released recently so at least that's something.

Like darkshadow said, the game was just released in Japan :). So it will take quite a while for an English version of it to be released. It's on PS2 :). Some random gameplays would probably be up in youtube after a few days.
And I can't wait for the English version of Persona 4!

Well the graphics seem pretty mediocre. Gameplay wasn't anything new from the preview, and since I don't have a PS2, I think I'll pass. I was hoping it going to be good though.

You could import it for the PS3 if your system has BC, but then again I'm unsure about the PS3's region locking.

Too bad they don't have any more keys. Downloading atm, let's see how the game plays.

Can't say I really had fun. It was CoD all right, but it was actually quite frustrating. There's like this mounted mortar launcher or something that they have in the game, and when you use it you can fire it off in quick succession. Having them land around you is so frustrating, your whole screen shakes, rumble, everything.
I can't remember if the dog's are a 5-kill streak or 7, but they're pretty fucking imba. They're a 1 hit kill if they get on you without Juggernaut. They're fast as hell and annoying. You can have a whole team of them send 5-6 out. Only downside to them is that you can hear them coming. Killing them grants points, kinda awesome.
The guns behave just like in CoD4, ie really lame. Popping ironsight has a certain annoying lag, and some ironsights cover nearly the whole screen.
All in all, a decent game I guess, it is CoD after all.

Mon, 10-13-2008, 05:18 PM
what? you can "summon" dogs? much like you did with the chopper or airstrike in cod4?
that's just awesome, really!
how/where do they spawn Oo? I mean, how do they enter the map?
damn, I so much want to test it lol.
animus
Mon, 10-13-2008, 05:41 PM
It spawns from you, it's kinda weird. They chase people around and shit and get you kills. I think their time can end and they leave the map. If not, you can just kill them, they're easy to kill.
Also from this map I played, where it's like an abandoned wrecked trainyard, you could get in tanks. But tanks are a little awkward.

I'll be reserving my 360 copy tomorrow, after I cash my paycheck. I'm really not all that enthusiastic about the series' return to WW2, though, but the multiplayer is definitely promising.
Edit: Just got a multiplayer 360 beta key that I'll be redeeming tomorrow. Let's see how it stacks up.

Tue, 10-14-2008, 04:41 PM
Welp, I tried it. To say the least, I'm glad this is only beta. Graphics need overhaul, gameplay needs more umph, and the pistols shouldn't take up more than a quarter of your screen when aiming down the sights. The multiplayer was good, to an extent, though I definitely hope that they bring back the hardcore modes. I'm glad they added a CTF, though I haven't actually checked it out to make sure it functions properly.
Overall, I'd say that the best map is the abandoned trainyard. It was just epic standing inside a crumbling station (not to mention that most of Treyarch's time probably went into this map. Makin sucked, and Castle was just okay. The guns are terrible, but that's just my fully-automatic love speaking.
