With Hyper SF2 I like getting outlandish. I like using Turbo Edition Ken. IMO, anyone who uses just ST characters are just spoiled by new school to hate the old. That sounds like the guys I play with. They dont’ play SF2 and SF Alpha 3 at all cuz:
>No supers
>My favorite excuse on why they dont like these games, they don’t dash (another reason why they don’t like Alpha 3, otherwise they would all use Charlie Nash, who’s the only character that can get around fast through quick steps)
I played a game of DBZ: SW Z-Battle 1-on-1 before I went to bed last night. I played as LV3 Goku and I ha so much fun with his Istant Transmission. Trunks did his Burning Attack and I used IT to appear behind him to avoid the move and do some combos on him. But that isn’t even the most fun I had using Goku’s IT. I was fighting Cell and he was in the middle of doing his Kamehameha on the ground. I used IT to get behind and and totally blast him with my own Kamehameha. I was grining from ear to ear. 
I finally beat that stupid spider thing in Metroid Fusion. I also goofed around a bit on my Sonic Heroes save file. That’s about it recently.
More Master System fuck around sessions earlier, this time with the Sega Genesis Power Base Converter thingy. This time it’s:
>Y’s (after 5 years my end game save data is still intact. I saved my game after I beat Dark Fact so all I had to do was read the book of Dekt and watch the ending.)
>Pulled out the 3-D glasses and played all the Segascope 3-D games I own, Maze Hunter 3-D, Space Harrier 3-D, Missile Defense 3-D and Zaxxon 3-D. To this day those 3-D shades are awesome, I still think I almost get vertigo playing Maze Hunter cuz some of the stages’ parallax is a hole that goes into a perspective view and outer space is at the bottom.
>Quartet.
>Beat Rastan
>All Alex Kidds that I own (Miracle World, Lost Stars and High Tech World, High Tech World pisses me off easily, know that phrase “Curiosity killed the cat?” In AKHTW you’re pretty much the cat.)
Blood Will Tell tomorrow, anyone else besides me getting it?
Oh yeah, snagging Monster Hunter also.
I worked on my Sonic Advance 3 save file a bit. I still need one more Chaos Emerald to actually finish the game.
I also played a bit more Metroid Fusion, but didn’t do much. After the spider boss, there’s a room that you have to roll into in morph ball form and then run from the damn SA-X. It keeps killing me.
My progress: I have done just about everything with Golden Sun: The Lost Age. All my characters or at Lv. 99, all Djinn, picked up the Sol Blade from the Mars Lighthouse, and uncovered and defeated the optional bosses to gain powerful summons. This game is the only thing I can play now that I have college work to attend to, but its still fun.
Picked up Phantom Brave yesterday. Fun game. So many different options you can do. I like how you confine your party from random items laying on the ground. Apparently there’s around 100 hours of gameplay, there better be for 80 bucks Canadian lol.
I’ve gone back to Klonoa: Empire of Dreams for GBA. This game’s simple but charming gameplay makes it so fresh to me. Right now I’m on the 4th World. There are 5 worlds and I want to have the game finished by the time I purchase F-Zero GP Legend on Saturday.
As far as SFAC goes, I’m just practicing my moves and combos in HSFII. I plan to really get down with SFII Ryu. I’m using the Official Brady guide and the amount of stuff you can do with SFII Ryu is just nuts.
Dudley is now one of my favorite characters in SFIII:3S. Normally I don’t take too well to characters that can’t get but Dudley won me over with his accent and killer combos. I never enter a fight without his Rocket Punch Super Art. I love working it in with combos. Only drawback is that you have to be close enough for it to work. I think I actually like Dudley more than Yang now.
I kinda wanna pick up that Klonoa game, but IDK where I could find a copy.:sad:
Anyway, I got beat down by The Nightmare on Metroid Fusion a few times, and also continued in vain to get the last Chaos Emerald in Sonic Advance 3.
I haven’t been doing much lately due to school and STILL ongoing illness, but I likes my modded Xbox. Playing lots of Fable, and Otogi 2, with some random Breaker’s Revenge and KoF 2000 fights.
I hear Fable is getting dissed pretty hard in some circles so I must say this: If you have high expectations for ANYTHING these days, you are fucking stupid. I go into games these days expecting them to suck hard, and on occasion, I get surprised by rare goodness. Fable is one of those games.
My friend brought that game over yesterday, it’s fucking nutssssssssss. Soundtrack is godawful, but hilarious, and anyone that doesn’t find the engrish funny needs to be shot. Controls take some practice, but its not to hard to learn.
Gonna be one of those gems never talked about (ie Gitaroo Man)
I picked up Capcom vs. SNK 2 for PS2 for $17.99. I wasn’t expecting to pick it up but the price tag was irresistable and after really getting into SF over the last few months, I just couldn’t play my GC version of CvS2 because of the controls.
GameStop is a bit messed up with their prices. I bought Gradius V for $32.99 when it should have been $29.99. I know, I know some of you are probably thinking “big whupp” but I thought the price would be $29.99 everywhere but I guess they just want to rape us all with prices any chance they get. Speaking of price rapes, I also got raped in dough with F-Zero GP Legend. I expected the game to cost $29.99 but it was $34.99. :lame: I haven’t played either of these games yet so I’ll report back with results.
32.99 for Gradius V?
Damn. Please don’t tell me that was 29.99 and a king size sales tax.
^I wish that was the tax price but when I checked my reciet, it said $32.99. I like GameStop but I’m gonna have to stop buying certain games from them if they think they can screw people by upping the prices on some of their games. Mario vs. Donkey Kong was $29.99 when it first released in their store. Now it’s $34.99.
I finally got a GBA SP. I’ve been wanting one for a while now and now that the price has dropped, I went ahead and got me a cobalt (blue) SP. I love the thing.
I took advantage of EB’s trade-in bonus, and traded in a bunch of the worse games in my collection for X-Men Legends.
X-Men Legends > *
Such a kick-ass game. It’s kinda like X-Men meets Gauntlet meets Baldur’s Gate, that’s the best way I can describe it. You get a team of up to 4 X-Men to control, and you can swap out at any time. You set them to how you want them to fight (Aggressive, Normal, Defensive), and you power them up as they level up.
You guys would really dig this - a GOOD Next Gen X-Men game.
In case nobody knows, Megaman X Command Mission is out now.
I was thinking it over for a good while and decided to give Gradius V to my father. He loves Gradius and he just got back from a hard week of work in Florida reparing windshields done by the damage of the constant hurricanes. So I gave it to him as a home coming gift. The happyness on his face was priceless. :pleased:
Had my fun with Fable for a couple weeks, and now I’ve been playing Star Wars: Battlefront for XBox. XBox Live with some buddies is the only way to play this game. The first few moments you spend with Battlefront will almost completely convince you that the game is garbage, but the more you play, the more chaotic it gets. Chaos + friends + online action = fun. By the way, the CIS forces are unstoppable!
I’ll pass the time with Gradius V and Battlefront until Mortal Kombat: Deception comes out (October 6th).
Edit: Did Shadow of Rome get some major delays or something? I was hearing of a November 2004 release date for the longest time, but I payed some friends at EB a visit today, and they told me they won’t be getting SoR in until February 2005. What’s going on here?
Been playing lots of:
SW: Battlefront: Awesome online. Very addictive, and lots of fun. Played it till about 4am because I could not stop. My biggest gripe with it though is the ridiculous amounts of spawn camping, sniping, and the 4-legged tanks on Yavin. Still, it’s mad fun.
Burnout 3: I’m sure there’s nothing I can say about this game that hasn’t been said before. It’s just too much fun.
X-Men Legends: Just got it today, and started playing it with a friend. Very cool visual style, and the X-Men’s mutant power are incorporated into the gameplay in clever ways.
I’ve been playing F-Zero GP Legend today. Playing the Bronze cup is a joke because the CPU racers offer no challenge whatsoever. That said, the graphics are very nice and nostalgic and the music is a mix from the SNES and N64 versions of F-Zero. It was great to hear the Mute City and Sand Ocean themes again. The difficulty picks up on Silver Cup races since the track designs are trickier. I died three times on the first Sand Ocean track. The game takes a cue from F-Zero GX and has a story mode as well as 48 Challenges to complete. Good stuff here. :tup:
