Snake Eater is the shit. Why you don’t have it is beyond me.

Dios while your at it pick up Forza.

Snake Eater for $25? Buy that thing ASAP!!!

I’m in love with the X series all over again. Mega Man X8 is just so freaking awesome. The stage designs, music, gameplay; it all comes together marvelously. MMX8 is now $20 at Funcoland, EB Games, Gamestop. I highly reommend MM fans jump on this NOW!!! Tag team 4 life, muthas!!!

Just playing some Tekken 5.

I just bought Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne for $20. Hopefully it is good, as I haven’t played it yet. I have trouble starting RPGs because I know I have to set aside several hours just to start playing the game.

I get piad tomorrow, i think ill pick up god of war while im at it

where did you buy that game for 20$ at???

im outi

I think Mega Man X8 is now one of my fav X games. The game just has so many good things going for it. I got the Neutral Armor for X a few days ago. Looks like X is packing a Kamehameha Wave!!
:tup: And seeing Vile back in action is just tightness. The game isn’t really overly difficutl but I’ve die a lot. I think I died more than 10 times in Burn Rooster’s stage.

I posted this in the Mega Man thread, but I found a copy of Mega Man X3 for $39.99 at EB Games. So I snatched that sucker up ASAP!! Now I have all the X games!! W00t!!
:clap:

Even though I can agree X8 is fundementally a good game, I don’t see how it’s fun at all. It’s just such a bore to play and I thought it was too easy =/

I’m glad you like X8 Reggie.

I was on Live the other night with Unreal Champ2…under a friend’s account. All the bad commentary is true, unfortunately. The lag is rediculous. I was losing to lag, and then…I was actually WINNING because of lag. It got to the point where I no longer feared most of my opponents rejecting my Flak shots…because I knew the timing for them on rejecting a shot was just as screwed up as it was for me…(I stopped even trying to reflect stuff, and just held block and tried to dodge) Of course, the only guy that could reflect my shots was the 1 guy who actually had a stable connection.

There were 2 great moments where I was on a roll with the kills…and yeah, I was Arclite as usual. (*announcer called “MULTI-KILL”, and “SAMURAI!”) The dude who played as Brock wasn’t even using his “Fear” ability, surprisingly…and that’s 1 of the few things that can beat Arc’s “Unstoppable”. Besides the lag, I think I was doing alright for the first time fighting real people in that game. I’m thinking if there ever is a tier-listing done up for this game, Arclite has GOTTA be near the top. Just review the deal ya get with Arclite here:

-Melee dominates --Arc is one of the heavy characters…you get POWER, and you can take the hits, unlike someone weak like Lauren or Devastation(*really what’s the point of Deva besides TnA? Her head turret ability is nice, but that’s pretty much it.).
-UNSTOPPABLE! (+ possible Heal or health powerups to compensate for gradual energy loss.)
-Heavy character + Charged/targeted air dash = pain.

I’m playing:

Phantom Brave(I’ve had this game for 7 months and still haven’t found the time to finish it)
La Pucelle Tactics(still haven’t even started it)
Gran Turismo 3 and 4(try playing this simultaneously and get 100%)
Prince of Persia 2(one day I’ll finish this…thing)
Resident Evil 4(I’m halfway through and I still haven’t finished. Fucking school)

PSP:

Ridge Racer
Wipeout Pure
Hot Shots Golf Open Tee(top tier)
Darkstalkers(I hate the pad for this game)

You’re right Million. UC2 is a good game for the most part. But the online play right now is stupid. A patch to fix the lag + a few balance changes would make it one of the greatest online experiences ever, though.

I really got into Advance Guardian Heroes today. I like the combat system and leveling up your character at the end of a stage is pretty cool. Drawbacks: slowdown. When too much action hits the screen, things slow to a crawl. And enemies also hav eno qualms about ganging up on you–they have no code of honor. They will literally kick you when you’re down. And on the final stage after beating the last boss, you have to use counter with the R button to stop a fire ball from wiping out the Earth. Alright. I’m cool with doing that. Here’s the kicker: if you mess it up it’s game over and you have to do the final stage all over again. That stage had enough bosses and annoyances to begin with and you’re telling me that I gotta do the whole freaking stage again?! You mean I can’t start where I left off like all the other stages? Screw the game and screw you, Treasure.

SO3, back to the Shrine of Kaddan. On a side note, I finally unlocked the sound test mode.

Atelier Iris is fucken garbage. What a weak rpg. Waiting on Namco x Capcom though

Why is it so bad? And wasn’t it supposed to come out later this month?

AI is just so basic. The way to get mana is pretty lame too, its like repetitive and you kinda have unlimited amounts since you can enter a section, absorb or wtvr it is to get mana, exit and come back again, repeat. I’ll play it a bit more tomorrow, but it feels sloppy too.

Atleast you have an option for jpnse voices. VA either way isn’t that great either.

Its easy to find leaks

I’ve spent some time with the Chambers in VJ2 the last couple days. I’m just wondering if there is a good way to deal with those electro-shield idiots? The best I’ve been able to manage, and this is after beating the story mode on every difficulty, is to Zoom In in front of them, then jump over them and slow punch them in the back, then VF the dodge when they reel backwards and their shield strikes you. And that leaves you with no VFX, and takes a long time if there is more than one of them.

Also, I wish that the Chambers gave some indication of how long each one is. It sucks to have to just keep playing until it ends. I’d like to have some idea of how much further I have.

I found Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne at Bookman’s. Sometimes I don’t think they are so good at pricing stuff out. I also got a modded Pelican Real Arcade there for $25
:wow:

pc
Pariah single player - kinda blah, but atleast it’s damn pretty.
pariah multiplayer demo - halo/tribes. Pariah rips off those games pretty good. Nothing that special.

guildwars- pvp is too good.

Mame - esp ra.de - still trying to 1cc this shmup.

PS2 - Midnight Club 3. I love it. Makes me feel thug gangster.

Gran Turismo 4 - Finally beat that bloody world championship series. 50% done

No more downloading/buying games for awhile.
