That could be possible, since I think the Jubei Yagyu character (from Onimusha 2, not the history-based one) is portrayed so he can look like some famous Japanese actor (maybe he’s the guy who appeared in that movie?)
Much love, X-Death, much love. 
DBZ: B3 has been giving me a mix of joy and pain. Joy from the fun Duel mode and pain from the annoyance of unlocking Cell Jr., Supreme Kai, and the Cell Games Tourney. All this random crap just sucks. Speaking of randomness, the Skill Shop, while better than ever, is STILL too random. They just need to list every single skill and let you buy them whenever you want. I’m at 81% capsule completion and this random junk isn’t helping. I know tiers haven’t really been done for this game yet but Gohan is just too powerful when you access his Elder Kai Unlock skill (aka Gohan’s Mystic abilities). I may actually like him better than Teen Gohan now.
I’ve gotten back into GTA: SA. Haven’t really done any missions. Just driving around, killing Ballas and crack dealers. Killing crack dealers=good, good pocket change. Every time I waste one of these idiots, I get like $2000. So I’m getting lots of $$$ AND making the hood a better place. :tup:
I’ve almost completed SM64ds. Just have Rainbow Ride to go. Goddamn I hate collecting 100 coins on that level, though.
I also bought Metal Slug Advance. It’s fun, but not as good as the arcade games. Playmore just can’t handle these as well as SNK did.
Thank God for the IMDB! Jubei was made to look like “Yusaku Matsuda”, a long dead Japanese actor (since 1989, just so happens, Black Rain was his last movie, and his only American debut).
If I can find a picture of Yusaku, I’ll cut and paste it next to a Jubei screenshot.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne rocks the fuckin’ party. Nothing quite like sacrificing demons to make new party members.
Since I’m reading the Cell Games saga in the manga and watching the Cell Games saga on DVD, I thoguht I may as well play through it on the GBA. I’m playing through Legacy of Goku II again. Repetitive fun with good dialouge and sweet dub music. Trunks theme owns. Too bad the game didn’t get all of Cell’s themes. :sad:
k I just started Sonic Heroes, and so far, Im disappointed.
I played it a bit at E3 this year, and I really liked what I played.
But now that i have it, I’m disappointed in the many bugs that I have run into. I love the level design and the old school sonic feel of the game. but its buggy! and thats really inexcusable. Its almost as buggy as the Japanese version of Sonic adventure.
So its like half the time whe i play the game, Im amazed by the levels and the other half, im frustrated by por implementation.
Im not sure what to think yet. After I beat the game with at least one team, I will have a better idea.
I’ve been playing through Ratchet and Clank going commando through most of the weekend. I have to say its the best $20 I have ever spent imo. The game is longer than I expected and the action platformer is what I needed, especially after playing through 3 RPGs in a row.
I am currently going through the snow field planet(forgot the name) and am literaly going back to refill my ammunition after each initial encounter with 20+ snow bears and Leviathans. Is this normal?
One more thing, anyone have advice for getting more bolts? It seems like anything after 100k is just too damn much.
^Sonic Heroes…you’ll have to beat the game with all teams to see the true finale…similar to Adventures.
I finally played DS at Target the other day…but only for about a second, cuz the holiday shopping crowd was insane, and I just wanted to get a top-up card for my phone and get the hell out of there ASAP. I have really low patience for big holiday shopping crowds. It’s torture. But yeah…it seemed alright, though I’ve never really been crazy about the Metroid games.(*still haven’t bought Prime or Prime 2, but I do plan to get 'em eventually…they’re just not top priority with me.) The annoying thing is that they have the DS demo set so low! This also shortened my play-time…it was uncomfortable to bend over to see and play the game. It’s like they only expected 4 year olds to play with the DS. I’ve never seen a demo set so low to the ground.
VJ2 – bad news for Gen2000 or any VJ fans who don’t have the game yet…it appears that there really are no secret characters! :sad: Of course there’s more details on the VJ2 thread…basically, the guide is out now, and there is no mention of unlockable characters. All the guide has revealed is how to get all 37 Chambers, and that getting a “good grade”(good job on ambiguity there.:rolleyes:.) apparently unlocks Infinite VFX…“Super VJ mode” as they call it. So far I have 34 unlocked, and 33 of the chambers done.
Despite my better judgement regarding financial matters…I went ahead and got an Xbox thanks to a deal from a friend. So far, all I have is the supremely underrated Jet Set Radio Future though. I like the Jet Set/Grind games, and I saw it for only 6 bucks at Gamestop, so I couldn’t resist.
R&C Going Command is one of the best games ever made. and Im not exaggerating. especially for $20. IMO, it was the best game of 2003
and no worries on the snow field, thats how it is until you have higher level weaponry.
and advice for bolts? Best places IMO are the crystal collecting which you are doing already, and the arena.
Million: yea imma still beat it with every team, but my disappointment still remains. right now I have a love/hate relationship with the game.
Million, glad to see you got an Xbox. It really feels good to be able to have the ABILITY to play any game you see in a store, except for pc games of course.
Some other notables: Project Gotham 2 is fun, and I don’t even like racing games. Crimson Skies, Otogi, Dead Or Alive beach volleyball, Star Wars KOTOR, Ghost Recon
bunch more good games for bargain prices to check out.
I had a bad feeling there were no unlockable characters cause the game was out for a while and I didn’t see anything in the Codes & Secrets section at GameFAQs. With VJ1 (or any game for that matter) the unlockable characters were usually revealed a couple of days after its release date. That sucks, I don’t understand how they have extra characters in the first game and then just take them away in the next one. Especially Alastor who was somewhat of a fan favorite in the original game. Bleh.
Btw I don’t read that VJ2 thread cause I’m sure it contains spoilers and I still plan on getting the game, just not anytime soon since Alastor isn’t unlockable.
heh, VJ2 already dropped in price. I saw it mentioned over at Gamefaqs, and then saw it for myself in a Walmart ad this past Sunday…it is now 29.99…at least that’s what I saw for the GC version. The sales probably aren’t up to what Capcom was expecting…and I think it was not really a good time to release it anyway…there’s tons of good games coming out all in the past month. VJ2 was bound to be hurt sales-wise at least a little bit by that.
Storywise it should be pretty obvious what’s going to happen when you see even the first couple of cinemas…but it was still enjoyable to see thru to the end…and we’re guaranteed to get a part 3…hopefully the extra characters will appear in that.
*I want one of those Ataris with the pre-loaded games…they have SOLARIS!!! Crystal Castles!! And Millipede!!! Millipede was better than Centipede.
$29.99 already? I might pick it tomorrow then. After looking how “well” VJ1 on the PS2 did (even with Dante thrown in), I don’t think Capcom expects much out of the series except to please the fans of the series and finish on a good note like the Onimusha series.
Okay, I figured those two would be the only two ways of getting bolts faster.
When I first went out there in the field, I got mauled to death quite a bit, but now I am using the electo shield as well as the meteor gun to make it a lot easier.
Speaking of which… did you find the lava gun upgrade disapointing? Man when I first thought of it, I thought it was going to be sweet with lava oozing all over the place destroying everything surrounding me, but you these stupid ass rocks from a ghetto homemade cannon that shoots at a crappy rate. With the lock on and acid effect mods, its the gun I usually use now, but still, the visuals and effectiveness downgraded. :sad:
Viewtiful joe 2 only 30? I will pick that game up soon.
KOTOR2, LotR:BFME and Riddick Butchers Bay EE.
Not much is keeping me interested in games now =\
the lava gun was one of the few terrible weapons.
you’ll be happy to know that in R&C 3 they bring it back but they keep the lava stream, and it ugrades to something like a liquid nitrogen stream that freezes your enemies.
I went over to my co-worker Brandon’s apartment today. We talk games A LOT when we’re at work and we’d been planing to hang out for like a while now. He’s also as old-school as they come. I was surprised to see an NES Advantage and and an NES four player adaptor.
Anyway, he showed me Guilty Gear X2. That game is just so raw. I have to find a copy now. Then again, maybe I should just sit down wioth my PS2 GGX and get around to playing that first.
I showed him DBZ: B3 and he was blown away. All he did was watch me play and we watched the COM vs. COM matches on the highest setting. That stuff was intense. My custom Omega Shenron mopped the floor with my custom Broly. Broly kept getting his ultimates to hit in every figh but Omega Shenron just kept overpowering him. Goku got his butt handed to him even with the capsule equipped to fuse and become SS2 Gogeta. He never even got the chance to fuse because OS kept smacking him up.
Brandon also showed me his skills at Ikaruga. I can’t believe how good this guy is. He actually made it through the 3rd stage boss without dying. :wow:
We also got in some Gradius V. Brandon liked that game but man, did it really tick him off. Dude was shouting expletives like FFVII’s Cid. And he hated stage 6. You know, the stage with that green gass?
GV is a great game for fueling the gaming Rage. The green goo stage is, if anything, a lesson in pattern memorization. That, and a lesson in Use the Directional Option. I’ve more or less got it sorted out so that I’ll never die more than once. As for level 7… shudder
