Well in GTA: SA I got to a new city that I’ve never been in before and I got one of my fav weapons: The Rocket Launcher. :tup: Now I just need to get more ammo for it. 8 rockets just ain’t enough for the chaos I have in mind. :badboy:

True that. I tried to get into the game as much as possible but I just can’t get into it. Must be why they gave it away free with my 6800 vid card.

DBZB3 (waiting for it to come in)
SFAC (trying to get good but too hard)
VF4 Evo (not playing really)

I just played Tekken 5 at the arcade for a lil while and I really want to learn how to play.
I like being Steve Fox, and it just seems like Namco really tried to make this Tekken good. The stage with the feathers is AMAZING.
I still don’t really like how 3D fighters feel, but it’s still fun.
I got the KH gba game today too, it seems really good from what I’ve played. It will keep me busy on my christmas trip to my grandmas.
No other games are looking all interesting to me right now. I guess I won’t get a new game until DMC 3 comes out. ( and RE 4 )
I still have to play Metroid Prime, Snake Eater, Baiten Kaitos, and Gradius 5.
Seeing how I have 4 weeks off from College, and my girlfriend went to visit her Dad for 11 days ( she’s always distracting me with that sex crap, DAMN HER ) I have plenty of time to catch up on my video gaming.
Glad you’ve got those priorities straight! :party: j/k, of course!
so how was Budokai 2 compared to DBZB3? Did part 2 suck like the first one…what are the differences besides the more appropriate cel-shading(cel shade polys > regular polygons hard when it comes to cartoonish characters.)? This is on my mind suddenly since the poor GC gamers…we FINALLY got Budokai 2 recently, and I’m not sure I can wait the YEAR it will take to get B3.*
*yep…I found that out on another browse thru Gamefaqs boards. Apparently there is actually a full year exclusivity deal between Atari and Sony on these DBZ Budokai games.
In other news…I know you can’t really trust what a Gamestop employee says half the time…but I overheard one telling a random customer that the new slim ps2s don’t have a fan! Is this true?! It can’t be, right? There’s just no way…that’s too half-ass… even for Sony standards…
VJ2—I will resume playing sometime today…and go for the 3 overall D rankings to unlock chamber #37. I’m not sure if they mean 3 Ds within a stage…or 3 whole Acts of a Reel with an overall D?..or 3 whole Reels with an overall D…! Once again, thanks for the ambiguity, BradyGames guide. :tup: <can you smell the sarcasm dripping from this thumbUp smiley?
EDIT*—I’ll go back to Phantasy Star Online today…I’m listening to Episode 2 ending theme now on the iTunes…and it’s bringing back memories. Plus, I never got any of my newman forces to the appropriate level to wear Smoking Plate armor…I must see the Smoking Plate in action…
I’m not an anime fan by any means. But one of my roomates is and he bought 2 and then 3 right in a row, and he likes 3 a lot more. I even sat down and played 3 a bit, and even though I know next to nothing about the series and generally dislike 3D fighters, I enjoyed it. I like Kid Goku and Uub. Kid Goku has a stick and a tail. And he has this one cool-looking super move where he kick-launches the opponent into the air, then fires one of his beams at the ground to propel himself into the air afterwards. Then he does this Super Gut Punch into the opponent. It looks neat. There’s a shadowy drawing of a dragon that appears over Kid Goku’s fist as he does it. I even beat one roommate who was using Super Saiyan 4 Goku with that attack. 
Been playing tons of MvC2, #Reload, and color editing on Isuka.
I’m off vacationing for a couple weeks, so have a good holiday and new year everyone, I’ll be back in 2005. :cybot:
Got Viewtiful Joe for the PS2. This has got to be the greatest game I’ve played in a long time! It’s the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure to my RandomNigga! The shit you can do in this game is just a BLAST!
I played the GC demo (called Previewtiful Joe) last year, but it was NOTHING compared to the full game! I’m currently at the end of Episode 2 and I’m having a bitch of a time against Hulk Davidson, whom I noticed is being voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson (does LOTS of voices)!
Also playing Contra: Shattered Soldier. I’m getting reamed by that game and I’m enjoying every second! I’m slowly but surely learning the enemy patterns.
Realizing that I haven’t played it in 3 years, I started a new Chrono Trigger file last week. I have about 6 hours into the game right now and I’m doing damn good, too. However, I’ve been here at FB’s place since then, therefore I haven’t played it in a week either…
Also playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Now that I have the English version, I can enjoy the game better. However, it also seems harder now that I have to remember to use the cards strategically, rather than just pummeling shit.
I’m pretty much just jumping between these games at the moment. On a sidenote, in Dragonball Advance Adventure, I unlocked Krillin in adventure mode as a reward for beating the game. He’s pretty quick and unlike Goku, he can pop-up AND air-combo enemies in adventure mode! He also uses Taiyoken (AKA: Solar Flare) to stun enemies.
Perhaps I’ll give VJ another shot before bed tonight. Hulk is NOT gonna be easy for me!
Million, compared to Budokai 3, Budokai 2 is HORSE CRAP!! I kid you not. After playing Budokai 3, I can’t even go back to 1 or 2. Althought the GC version of Budokai 2 gives you some nice exclusives like battle damage outfits, skill capsules and stages, how good those extras are, I don’t really know.
BOOYAH! I beat Episode 2 of Viewtiful Joe!
Now on Ep 3, I’m gonna play that ep from the beginning again to get a better ranking on the shooting segment.
As a reward for finishing Xmas shopping, I bought myself Gungrave: Overdose.
I actually found copies of Xenogears, Final fantasy origins, and Final fantasy chronicles for ps1 and picked them up. but i can’t play anything but chrono trigger…I poopped in xenogears for a second but went into chrono trigger withdrawals -_-
I did it! I finally found that annoying, freaking, worthless Supreme Kai in Budokai 3!!! Had to use a dumb walkthrough at GameFaqs just to get him. And even then I had to restart my game from previous save points because I went to the wrong spot.
:lame: I even got the earrings for his fusion with Kabito. The cool thing about unlocking the Supreme Kai was that it changed the story for Gohan’s DU mode. He was the one who beat Buu, not Goku. And it was Kid Buu at that.
Well I’m thinking of opening up Katamari Damacy and Metal Slug Advance Sunday night. I’m out for now.
I just finished Silent Hill 3. Pretty cool game. It tied into Silent Hill 1 pretty well. I don’t think I’m going to try for the other two endings though.
I started playing Metal Gear Solid 3. Is anyone having problems with the game skipping or taking a long time to boot up the codec screens?
Kessen III is fucken owning me.
Spiderjericho, the codec skipping in the early parts is kinda normal. Dunno how bad yours is, but thats how it is for almost everyone w/the game. Probably happens two or three times. I don’t know about the bootup though
Thanks, I thought my Playstation was skipping (I’ve had it less than a year).
I have Halo 2 now. It’s awesome of course…but as some may have read in my earlier thread…the stupid ass Madcatz controller is pissing on my fun. So far I am at the point where I become “The Arbiter”. I still plan to get Halo 1 later on. Man, I got off some headshots yesterday on some Jackal types…oh that’s a beautiful feeling. The sweetness of a perfect headshot that your enemy never saw coming…shit, it’s almost sexual. That Particle Beam Rifle is the hotness…that’s my baby. It reminds me of my honey from Quake 3—the railgun.
*Scarab segment was a lot tougher solo. The first time I experience the Scarab scene, it was myself and a friend playing thru for the first time co-op mode. Whatever, this goes down as one of my favorite moments ever in a videogame. I ran along side the perimeter…taking occasional shots at the aliens inside that thing…sniping them with ROCKETS…and then I jumped down off the bridge to finish it up close and personal. It’s just a really good “Action Movie Hero Moment”. You have to experience it 1st hand to truly understand how awesome this is.
*sidenote—I didn’t know that cool Covenant Sword could…run out?! That’s weird, but I guess it’s necessary for the sake of balance.
I also got an “Atari Flashack”…and it is good. Unfortunately Solaris is different…and that game was the main reason I wanted the Flashback system. This is remedied by the presence of other great ancient games though—I’ve never played Breakout before; it’s great…and I will always love Millipede and Asteroids. Is it even possible to fuck up Asteroids? That game is tight no matter what. I haven’t played the others though. The joysticks are also much better than I remember…they are based off the old atari7800 joystick design. The system itself is almost as small as a Nintendo DS.
*EDIT—more on Halo 2—I’m at the part where it’s time to mee the first “Prophet”(*I think that’s after I finish up with “The Arbiter” part). Those guys are so cool…I wish I had a futuristic, teleporting hoverchair like that. It would be my throne if I ever took over the world. I’d have the prophet chair, and Chief’s Mjolnir armor…and nothing could stop me…
Oh snap! I just started playing Katamari Damacy. This game is freaking weird! And freaking fun too!! I’m almost ceratin that the King of All Cosmos is hooked on acid or some other messed up drug. The intro alone is enough to make one wonder if he/she is sane. But really, KD is good, good fun. I get a kick out of making the katarmai is huge as possible. So far I’v eonly done 4 stages and my katamari hasn’t gotten anywhere close to big enough where I can pick up buildings or baseball stadiums. I want that sucker to get HUGE!! But this is easily one of the best $20 I’ve ever dopped on a game.
