Shoutouts to knowing what that series is before it came to america.
Thank you very much amazon.co.uk
Sheeeit, hitting the max level in an RPG kinda saps the fun out of things with that particular character for me…you can’t evolve anymore beyond that point, obviously… there’s nothing left for me now (*at least on that character) other than finishing the main story. There’s still tons more sidequests, but it’s not like “Chojin” needs the experience or the money at this point. Still, Kingdoms of Amalur is sooo close to being my favorite RPG of all time. There’s a couple of small details that still keep the modern Phantasy Star franchise in the #1 spot for me.
I’m still finding it amusing (and pitiful) how so many wannabe critics with this game go on and on forever about how the game is supposedly “broken” because it’s so easy. Somehow, I’m doubting that most people that purchase an action-RPG are looking for a “Left 4 Dead on Expert + Realism” caliber of difficulty before they can allow themselves to have some goddamn fun. “WAH WAH WAHHHH the stupid developers made it too easy!” says the guy that made sure to max out Blacksmith skill right away so he can make godlike weapons that do absurd amounts of damage to everything, along with armor and shields with all flawless components so he never even comes close to death and/or chugging health and damage resistance potions constantly. Yeah…maybe exercise a little self-control for once? If I make a game that happens to have a weapon you can pick up that does 500,000 points of damage to everything, and even bosses don’t have anywhere near that much health… is it really 100% the fault of the developer that you chose to use that ridiculously overpowered shit? Shouldn’t the player have at least some small amount of responsibility in how he plays the game?
Great example— in Saint’s Row 3… there are upgrades that make your character literally INVINCIBLE to most things. Should a person still complain that SR3 is “too easy, lol” because his dumb ass bought ALL those upgrades so now he can’t get damaged by anything? Of course, you bring this up and they instantly go to the “I shouldn’t have to limit my enjoyment to only 40% of the game…blahblahblah”. I swear, the new generation of gamers really is 100x more annoying than ever before. Why not have fun with self-imposed challenges? I remember folks looking at things that way all the time back in the day… like you beat a game, then you start thinking “ok, maybe I can do it without continues” or “ok, let’s see if I can do this all with no deaths” then you step it up to “maybe I can make it thru the whole game without getting hit…” or “heh, I’m not even going to use anything other than this one weak weapon…” just to own the hell out of everything in the game in any way you can. Maybe people just don’t have that sense of creativity anymore? They expect the developer to do everything? I’ll bet most of these guys out there don’t even have their own little story and concept in mind for their characters either…just going along 100% with whatever the game says, because they have 0 imagination, apparently.
…see, one reason I couldn’t be a game developer is that the temptation to tell the modern gaming audience about themselves in a harsh way would be too strong to resist. At some point I’d call the chumps out and roast the hell out of everyone, then people would naturally boycott any games I put out purely out of retaliation/spite.
KOF98UM on sale on XBL. 5 Bucks. I just bought me a 20 dollar Microsoft moondollars card for skullgirls. Perfect timing SNK
ok then, i will 
i say fuck that clown. Fuck him in his silly anus. I bet he would love to see half of SRK run a train on him, while the other half is the little engine that could. He sent me an invite to Evo this year, and all it was was a room key to a budget hotel just outside of Vegas, and a pair of horribly used tighty whiteys. The skidmarks formed what I can only assume was a winking smiley face. Oh, and he abused the coffee emoticon so much I swore it was a key on his keyboard he headbutted with fury every time he realized he could never be as amazing as yours truly.
But I like you Blade, you’re nice
…but you remind me of somebody
That game is unplayable imo. But that might be because I am using the analog stick on my xbox controller lol.
yeah, maybe you should buy and/or make your own stick.
but real talk, UM on XBL sucks wiener, get it for the PS2 instead.
Still isn’t going to be playing VS anyone either way…
Shit I need to find my PS2. I already bought it on Xbl before posting. Oh well, I’ll find some enjoyment outta it.
Does anyone still play Soul Cal IV online?
My homeboy gave it to me and I want to pick it up for a little bit…
You know what I think?
I think those STDs from those 5 [Canadian] dollar hookers have finally worked their way up your spinal column, and, after years of struggle, have penetrated the three inch thick bowel of skull bone, and infested that tiny part of your diminutive brain not previously classified as lizard, reducing you to a level with your garden variety gecko.
A gecko projecting his jungle fever for big black cocks gaping his more articulate sphincter, affording him only their smegma and the previous-in-line bucks’ ejaculate as lubrication.
Scumguzzler fans climbing the insufferable cunts list rather quickly.
Parting won that shit ref better rule in favor of him, no way MKP could have won in that situation.
Activision not allowing LAN and making situations like an online DC even be possible in an offline SC2 tourney to begin with is ridiculous. Imagine the EVO winner was decided by an online lagout that’s basically what’s happening now and on the same scale.
Wow.
My apologies, lounge, for that outburst.
I feel I was compelled.
I haven’t a clu what happened to me.
Yeah, you shouldn’t let a mere Jab get a rise outta you.
Do not insult Jabs with a comparison to Soviet.
SF4 has slandered jabs enough for the next hundred decades.
That was no jab - it was a slow as shit wanna-be Cossack kick.
Could be worse. You could have Soviet say you’re too good looking for him to fuck.
I am.
Nah, he’ll want to smash you if you were fat.
I like to imagine what it would be like if people never outgrew the stage of routinely busting their asses when they walked, as toddlers do. What would floors be like? When people tripped and fell, no one would laugh.
I did day one of my safety course for getting my motorcycle license today. Everything turned out well until towards the end, with so many factors going against me(fatigue, weather, another beginner rider that was scrub at getting the bike going, rider error), that I ended up low siding the bike at around 12-15 mph and ate shit. Got a ton of scrapes and gashes all over both my arms, on my palms of my hands(no more wacking it for a while) and a deep gash/hole on the side of my knee. Good thing I paid good money for this course and got to use their bike with out having to worry about fucking up mine. So I’m going to finish up the course tomorrow being kind of messed up. My lesson is, even at a safety course, you can still get fucked up. Also that gravel isn’t forgiving even at low speeds,
