My wife loves to watch me play shooter games, so Gradius V is on top of the list right now. Zooming through seemingly impossible sections (like Stage 3/4) is something she loves to see.
EDIT: Going to play X-Men Legends in a bit.
Up to 96 Shines! Go me! I even got that Hellacious one in Delfino Plaza where you have to tediously take Yoshi across all those boats and then go down that pipe and play the toxic water/lily pad course.
I did finally resort to a FAQ. I wanted to see if I actually had to collect all the Blue Coins or not. Turns out that I do. :sad:
Hey guys whats the scoop on the new Mortal Kombat? Good? Shitty? Worth buying?
Me = :mad: :mad: :mad:
My Famicom System with Gradius 2 In It= :razzy: :razzy: :razzy:
AARGH! That insane AI!
Fighter X, your wife likes to watch you play games? That’s awesome. Nothing better than a spouse that shares a watching interest in your favorite hobby. :tup:
I got all the way to stage 7-9 on Gradius V. It was another boss marathon level with familiar bosses, the one I wanted to see the least being this huge bug-like robot. I remember something similar to it on Gradius III–I so hated killing that thing.
I played some DBZL Supersonic Warriors tonight. It feels a bit odd playing this game on my SP (I just got an SP a few weeks ago.) but I’m getting used to it. I played Free Battle a lot. I had LV3 Goku, LV3 Gohan, and LV3 Vegeta go up against 3 LV3 Super Buu’s. With Goku I offed the first one fast but it took some time before I took down the the other two. I made sure every1 had a turn but Gohan got quiet a bit of his health depleted. I also learned just how powerful Super Buu is. LV2 Gohan was getting schooled so bad against him. :wow:
Watchin my friend play Star Wars Battlefront on live and gettin killed all the time, pretty funny. Looks like a decent game, but FPS isn’t my bag baby.
111 Shines. All that’s left is a few stray Blue Coins here and there.
Switching between Burnout 3 and Star Wars Battlefront.
Both kick all kindsa’ ass.
Also,
Is the second Gungrave game worth getting?
What is good to play for Gamecube? I’m really wondering if I should go rent something for it…
Currently: Def Jam Fight For NY, MK6 and Burnout 3. Starting a new game in all 3 … good lord.
I still havent touched third strike, I only beat Gungrave OD once and Crimson Tears is going to hold off for a little, until I get some free time. LMAO
Well let’s see… um… I’m constantly playing 3rd strike and figuring out new strategies that haven’t been mentioned or exposed. I’m also playing MK6 in the night after work. And last but not least I’m playing Katamari and sometime MMX:Command Mission. Hoping to get Zero 3 for the GBA.
Stillplaying MVC2, I can infinite and reset 95% of the time with magneto.
I know how to activate Unfly mode(not by getting hit) and have improved my Fast Fly/Unfly combos.
And I still play Halo(waiting for no2 to get here already)
I’d have to say it depends on what you are looking for. Metriod Prime 1, Ultimate Muscle, or Eternal Darkness are good choices.
I’m convinced that 1/2 the nation will want to take a sick day on the 9th.
For those of you who are into Gradius, I suggest picking up Gradius Gaiden for the PSX. Same kind of game, half the frustration. You can actually survive long enough to get powered up again after you die.
I have that. I managed to pick it up a few months back, actually. Good game.
Almost there…Gran Bruce has been a tough one! I’ve been coming up short of a rainbow V on him for the past couple of DAYS. FINALLY it’s becoming more comfortable…I don’t remember the exact results, but at least I was close on the last 2 times fighting him. It’s tough sometimes to avoid getting hit by this bastard. If you get caught in his Pacman Attack, then you lost a V in Defense, plain and simple, cuz it’s next to impossible to do a successful Ukemi in that area…particularly underwater. Anyway, of course I’ve found that it is imperative to get the coins from BOTH pink boxes in the background at some point during the fight…I think after getting all those coins, you can destroy him just like before and get a rainbow V. Now I just have to focus on not getting caught in the Pacman Attack…sometimes the bastard kinda cheats…the biting sound effect will go away to throw you off…and suddenly he just appears on screen still doing that attack! If it’s underwater, and he’s already on screen before you’re ready to move out of the way…you WILL get caught.
I’m thinking I may be better off if I just never let him out of my sight, much like AJ.
Speaking of which—!!!:wow: My fights against AJ are absolutely SPECTACULAR now!! I’m getting the next battle on tape for sure. I can follow him around the area perfectly now, and STILL get just about all that background stuff. This isn’t as hard as I thought…G.Bruce is the only thing really holding me back here, not AJ. Some particularly sweet moments:
-Dragon Kick to AJ’s face…he falls off the ledge to the ground…with me following him all the way down…Zoom-Stomping him immediately while he’s down!
-Dragon Kick yet again to AJ —I notice a red film cannister has been opened…I mach-speed flew(*C.Blue) over to it, and came back…AJ was STILL dazed from the kick!! I actually made it all the way over to that spot with the red cannister and back over to him before he could do anything about it.
-Pushing AJ off the ledge into the electrified pit!! Nice and low-down tactic there…
This is clearly the most entertaining fight in the game, imo. It’s highlight-reel material.
*another reason getting the background stuff isn’t as hard as I thought it was = right at the beginning, you can mach speed AJ! It’s always an easy opening, as he just stands there when the fight begins. I make sure to jump away fast though, since it doesn’t take much of that to open up a few boxes, and he’s always does some kind of counter attack.
Burnout 3:Takedown…easily one of the top 3 acracde style racing games ever made…only being topped by Rigde Race Type 4…too bad the soundtrack for Burnout sucks…
My body is totally wrecked after rearranging my room today. It was worth it though. I picked up a cheap 17" tv and a new shelf, so now I have adequate game storage space. On one tv I got a modded xbox and my dc, on the other tv I got the ps2 and n64 hooked up…and of course, ANOTHER modded xbox. Its times like these where I actually like my life.
coughCUSTOMSOUNDTRACKScough
Unless you don’t have it on Xbox, then I shall laugh at you :lol:
Yeah, kickass game for blowing off steam though.
YES! After a long, seemingly unending battle…Captain Blue stands victorious in a legendary pose; The Magnificent 5 have been defeated, all with Rainbow V ranks!
Gran Bruce really was a bitch to the end there. I finally got into a regular system with him…and got the rainbow v…and of course, I went on to get “B,V,V” on Fire Leo for doing the Voomerang method! I went through again…screwing up on Gran Bruce again, but perfecting the fight with Leo…finally I got the Rainbow V on Bruce, and then Leo. (*AJ was a piece of cake at this point.)
Rainbow V for Leo = doing the Voomerang method can work if you throw in a Viewtiful Forever somewhere in there.(Vrang method --> after dodging the slashes, Leo’s dizzy…immediately throw a Vrang backwards, and then turn to hit him with Slow Zoom Punches, aka “RHOH” as the Gamefaqs people call it. The Vrang will combo into your punches, and Leo takes an obscene amount of damage from this…)
I haven’t even analyzed episode 7 yet, but I feel as though I’m done with the truly hard part now…I’m over the hump. Will The Captain ascend to his ultimate destiny, and fully realize his infinite VFX Director’s Cut power? Tune in next time for the grand finale…the stage is all set for a final battle of epic proportions!! 'til then…tataa!!
Playing the November OPM disc.
Having no technology in MGS3 (like laser sights) is a chore. The demo is pretty short though. I had no idea that camo index would play such a huge role. I didn’t quite figure out the new hand to hand mode. Eating snakes is cool too, as it boosts your stamina.
Didn’t quite like Neo Contra. It was weird. Overhead Contra (kinda like the Super C and Contra 3 levels). I never played the last Contra on PS2 (own it though). I think that hit percentage rate is bullshit. Contra is hard enough as it is to have some conservative b.s. (make every shot count).
Thought Need For Speed Underground 2 was interesting. Kinda like Grand Theft Auto meets the first game (though I hear Midnight Club 2 is the same way).
Also tried Tak2. Doubt I’ll be buying that one.
Anyone know if Toys’r’Us will have the buy two get one free sale? They had one last year, and I totally caught up to a lot of the year’s releases that way.
