Akumachan: Truthfully, I was having a hard time with the boost thing and all of that stuff at the time. I have an tendency not to do boosting or the break the guard thing cuz i dont feel like it. I am playing without the guide and I finally figured out the boost once I beaten margulis to an extent. I am not taking the game serious at all. I am just chillin renting the game. At times I just play it out of boredom.
JetEnduro: Yeah it is a bit sad, but I didnt lose the battle on the first try, it was just that most of my characters don’t have medica 2 or medica all at the time. Also, i wasn’t in the mood trying to make them stronger. I am playing until I finished this and get DMC 3.
I’m now in the winter section of MOMO in Xenosaga 2. The battles are SO tedious. I’m almost to the end, but according to the maps in the strategy guide, there’s something called “Secret Key 5” located near the Segment Door. I can’t find it though…
I’m a bargain gamer yo, as such, when I saw a copy of Tekken Tag Tournament at my local EB for $7 I figured, what the hell, I’ll give it a try…
that game is tight, yo, usually I don’t do 3-D, but I can see why this game is so well-liked!
sure, I’m not fantastic at it, by any stretch, but I’ll get better…I’ve literally got 6, or 7 Fighters stacked on top of my PS2, and those are all I play anymore…
akuma: yea it seems in many of the boss battles that knowing the guard breaking combos and boosting is fairly integral to winning, or at least winning easily. I learned that on my Level 4 fight. My first fight with Level 4 went badly then I figured out the combo. and then the second try i killed him with two combos.
strange: the secret key 5 is actually behind the segment door. You will have to wait until you have the segment address key to get in. Once you have it you can do another encephalon dive back to this place and pick it up.
question:
did anyone finish the GS campaign where you have to rearrange Jin Uzuki’s books?? I suck at those! maybe I could do it without a time limit… any hints??
:wow: I hate that I’ve missed out on Unreal all this time!!! I just played the new Xbox demo…oh…this is destined to become one of my new favorite games of all time. It’s so tight in so many ways…and I’m just a first time player here…only scratching the very surface of greatness here. So far, I’m loving everything about it. It’s like Halo and Quake…on steroids. I had so much fun just with the extremely short # of weapons that’s in the demo. It seems a bit overwhelming at first too…there’s already so much depth potential here, it’s crazy. The graphics are gorgeous, I like the character designs, the control is tight, the melee fighting is cool, the maps are incredible…really, where is the flaw in this? I will be all over this game immediately when it comes out. This instantly takes top priority on my list of games to buy.
The learning curve seems a bit intimidating to say the least though…I’m barely keeping up with cpu characters!
Flying across large areas of a map like a superhero is SO cool. People could probably easily take advantage of the lag time when you start that move though…I’m guessing…
Most likely, I’ll be playing the demo for the rest of the tonight.
I played Stage 4 of DMC 3 today, the worm killed me. I was sad. Ever said to jump on it, I just tried to shoot it. Oh well it was DMC break time anyway. ( I played the first 3 stages for 2 or so hours getting all the blue orbs )
I am currently on Stage 9 of DMC 3. Having random trouble with Nevan. I mean, she IS beatable, but she is too damn tricky, since I can’t really tell when I should attack her to remove her bat barrier and stir some shit up (and when I finally do, I can’t really time when she will “dissipate into a black bubble and cause damage”). She seems to be one of those bosses that need work.
And the cinemas get more and more hectic.
SPOILER
Leviathan swallowing Dante was TOTALLY random. I was like :wtf: :wow: , especially since Dante had just offed a bunch of gargoyles.
Unreal Championship 2 Demo --I’m a bit more comfortable with the fast pace and overall feel of the game now…I’m finally killing the cpu characters regularly…at least with that pale-skinned girl with the black swords and “Ethereal” and “Vampire” adrenaline powers. That’s another thing that’s awesome about UC2…the adrenaline abilities…heh, I should really read up cuz this stuff is probably nothing new to the series…or is it?
ah yes…I remember her name now…“Lauren”. I was on a roll with her today, and came in first place. I love playing 3rd person view(*one reason is that it’s just fun to watch how cool your character looks flipping around the screen), but of course 1st person is necessary for more precise aiming…
but yah…the movement is just spectacular. Master Chief WISHES he could move like the Unreal characters.
*for anyone even more late than I was on this game…RAIDEN from Mortal Kombat is on the roster. Yep. I’m surprised that Jax apparently isn’t in…
*there is also Conker and Splinter Cell CT(?) on the demo…but I played the Conker demo at a friend’s house already, and I’ll get to SCell later on…Unreal Championship owns my soul at the moment, and it’s only a demo. The RipJack gun is great, and I can’t wait to play with the Bio Rifle. Does anyone have a release date on this? The wait is already killing me. I NEED this game…
-try attacking after her cloak spin or her backflip, especially when she stops to laugh
-you should have enough time to hit her with Rebellion’s 3 hit combo about 3 times before having to jump out of the way of the void (if you still have trouble, equip Trickster at lv. 2 or higher to avoid it with Sky Star)
-when the floor begins to glow, jump to avoid getting shocked
-when her health is low, she’ll try to drain your life; when this happens, stay a float with E&I as she draws near, coming down with Rebellion’s Helm Breaker shortly after
If there’s one cool thing about the DMC games, it’s that they took my lack of talent into account. I juuuust got to Leviathan and my Swordmaster style is almost full.
Meanwhile, Alien Hominid is funny as hell… And just like Metal Slug, I enjoy it as much as I suck at it.
For some stupid reason, Advance Guardian Heroes has thoroughly owned my SP. Something about playable enemies and bosses has tripled the replay value. Cheap, but enjoyable. Dylan is so fuckin’ Bruce Lee.
I, too, am playing alot of the Unreal Championship II demo. Though i’ve put many hours into it, i’m still stunned at how good the game looks and performs. I hope the full version holds up this well.
April 15th. It was scheduled to come out in mid March, but Midway pushed it back because they didn’t want it to compete with another one of their shooters released being released that month, Area 51.
Try playing Katamari Damacy with at least 5 of your friends in the room watching. Fun for them watching it as much as playing because of the random comments flying around especially about the game’s soundtrack. hell we even went thru bouts of chanting when things get exciting.
gasaraki - check out gamefaqs codes about Ys… theres a code for unlocking the japanese voice actors…
