Game: What game are you currently playing??

**animus** · Fri, 07-24-2009, 08:19 PM

Playing Baten Kaitos, Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

I know they're old, I just got a Wii a couple days ago. I'll have Gamecube Games and Wii games to go through.

SFIV is no SFII:Turbo.

The thing that really killed it for me was how long it took them to update Online versus matches with a blind character select screen. Waiting 20 seconds to start a match so the douchebag on the other end will actually pick a character sucks. It turned me off from the whole online experience. At a real arcade, people would at the very least give you a huge glare or call you on that kind of crap. For Capcom to not realize how often people pulled that shit since the current-gen consoles incorporated online matches is embarrassing. It's been a little over 3 years since people started doing that in Dead or Alive 4, and about 3 years since people have been doing it on Street Fighter II for XBLA. Blind selection should have been in there on release.

There really wasn't any significant improvement over SFII Remix, and in fact, I think a lot of the balancing got thrown off.

Man I so much hate ranked matches just because people just wait and wait and still pick Ken/Ryu/Sagat/Gief, just pick your fucking charater, heck on pc I can actually hear my hdd loading the game, yet the vs screen must linger on for another 3 seconds, hd remix is so much better in this aspect alone that you find a game, pick a char and bam you are playing. None of that stupid waiting game bullshit.

Championship mode fixed it a bit, but there are still annoyances like input lag and such ( which destroys the cammy player I am that relies on speed ).
Don't get me wrong SF4 is a good game, but I don't think its any fun really.
HD remix is so much more fun/balanced/engaging and it has the awesome character theme music, which SF4 for some reason hides until you fight your rival in arcade mode.....WTF is up with that.

I heard that KOF12 was pretty laggy as shit online(PSN), but I'll play it mostly at school anyway and the 3vs3 is just godlike, so i'm really hoping it won't dissapoint as much as SF4 did.

And BlazBlue still isn't out here... so yeah ;(.

Indeed it is. There's already a patch on the way, though. Hopefully it helps.

We understand that there have been some concerns raised about performance during online play. A patch for the both platforms is being worked on which should help with those gamers experiencing issues. While I don't have an exact date for the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 patch should be available by the street date July 28, 2009.

Edit: 7/27 - The patch is out and it's 772mb. Crazy!

lmao @ this KOF XII Raiden glitch

Even after that 772mb patch, the game is still laggy online and glitchy.

Playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite still .... awesomeness. Taking my time this time and making all the cool armor sets.

About 60 hours into it, not bad for playing only on free nights (which are very very rare) or while in the bathroom =P

I'm glad I didn't buy the SF IV package, cause this game rocks. Sure it's missing a few extra stuff, but the game play mechanics are solid.

**Ryllharu** · Sat, 08-01-2009, 07:04 AM

I've seen a few videos of it, and the impression I got was that it played a bit slow. It almost looked sluggish and choppy. I obviously can't make that judgement accurately without playing a demo (and XBL doesn't seem to have one). KoF has never been a fast fighter like Guilty Gear, Melty Blood, or MvC2, so it is definitely a slower, more technical fighter, but it looked like there was considerable delay from the start of a move to actually making contact.

The impression I got was that it looked more like a Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat than a current generation fighter. Not Clay Fighter laggy, but unpolished.

It's hard for me to justify buying another full-priced fighter when BlazBlue is still fresh, and MvC2 is still providing plenty of retro (if a little broken) fun.

I guess I'm looking for another opinion, because while I was looking forward to this, the reviews have been less than spectacular, and BlazBlue being released on the xbox360 was a very pleasant surprise (especially considering the reviews that it has gotten in comparison to KoF XII).

**Psyke** · Sat, 08-01-2009, 07:15 AM

KOF has enjoyed cult status in Asia for a long long time, and KOF is definitely a fast fighter. You're right too, it is a very very technical game. I was a hardcore SF fan before, but never looked back since KOF 97.

**animus** · Sat, 08-01-2009, 07:27 PM

On the subject of technical fighters. I was watching my cousin play Virtua Fighter 5 2 days ago and damn, it looks slow as hell but you can tell that the skill cap is high.

That depends on what character you play as, what your mixup game is. Cause VF5 can be incredibly fast and stylish, it still is my favorite 3D fighter.

I downloaded Final Fantasy 8 on PC. Trying to play it, but it chugs like crazy. If I can't fix it (uncompressing folders, software rendering etc), I'll just have to whip out the playstation again. (and hope it hasn't broken)

**KrayZ33** · Sun, 08-02-2009, 04:47 AM

hmmm that reminds me, I lent my FF8 for the PC to a friend

time to get it back!

**Idealistic** · Sun, 08-02-2009, 03:29 PM

Been playing some Fat Princess. Really fun when your teams know what they are doing. Just got to Squire rank.

Bill - there is unofficial resolution fixer - it allows to set any screen resolution and fixes some graphical bugs. It works perfectly on my pc.

I got it to work by clicking the "Win 98/ME compatibility mode" box. I'm surprised I didn't realise before. I'll have a look at the resolution fixer though, if it makes it look nicer.

Rockband for my psp, and pong for ps1 on my psp

Persona 3 on borrowed ps2. back to tartarus...

**itadakimasu** · Thu, 08-06-2009, 09:48 AM

I'm playing Team Fortress 2. Found a couple really fun servers, Orange v3? and turbine... I think turbine is my favorite. I had an epic capture as a medic the other night. I was waiting in the vents and picked the perfect time to drop in because a spy had just sapped the 2 sentries that were sitting there. I had to run through the other teams spawn area because there was a sentry the other way.

Went through the vent and had to kill a sniper and scout inside the vent, continued running and had to kill an engie and another scout on my way back to my teams intel room ^^ that was just awesome.

Speaking of all the PS2 players... Is there a working ps2 emulator out there now?
