GTA4: Lost and Damned.

I think they could at least have made some major upgrades to Liberty City that weren't story missions or like one or two more buildings you can go into. It's pretty much exactly the same as it was in 4; I even found a set of the same secret body armor at this one pier, and the only change to the radio is that some news bulletins were added about biker gang warfare. They might have even been there before, I dunno. Although I love Liberty Rock Radio and there are some great driving songs on it, so that's not really that bad of a deal. It makes sense, too, since Lost and Damned's timeline is apparently parallel to GTA4's.

I like the missions, I guess. My favorite part so far was where you and your bros have to follow the AOD members and pick them off their bikes with sawed off shotguns while cavorting through the streets at top speed because I kept pretending I was in the opening scene of Akira.

I'm not too far in, but your biker buddies will all give you guns and shit, and you can call in a free bike from one of them no matter where you are, and and and you never ever have to take them out anywhere, ever. I do like it a lot better than GTA4 already.


I always took Roman up in a helicopter then bailed into the river while he went down and exploded in the city. :(

The pedal hurts my foot. If I play more than 10 songs, I get shinsplints. I've tried arranging it all sorts of ways and nothing seems to help.

I think the worst I ever did was 60% on easy, on some weird song I'd never heard before where the drums were just all over the fucking place. Usually I pick up on patterns pretty quickly but I couldn't even see the pattern on this one.

If I stick with easy I usually don't do worse than 90-95%. Usually.

Certainly. The story was refreshing compared to the contrived shit found in FF's VII through X (well, excluding IX). The combat got rid of random encounters, meaning the franchise finally got with the times. And it all took place in Ivalice, but way more fleshed out.

The only other FF I've finished was the GBA remake of the original.

Persona 4... yet again. For a while (18 hours, to be exact) I played an undubbed version that has the original Japanese voices with English text, but I seem to be having some technical issues with that because the music likes to cut out at random moments (not very fun when it happens during a lengthy boss battle). I guess I'll just go back to playing the regular US version for now.

Phoenix Gamma

Well, I also thought the English voice acting was very good for the most part and it really didn't need to be replaced with the Japanese audio track, but I figured that if I'm going to play through Persona 4 for the third time I might as well try out the undub.

Does the European version of Persona 4 have the 60 Hz mode? The lack of that was the one thing that bothered me about the PAL release of P3 FES, it felt like you were moving in slow motion compared to the US version (and with good reason, because you actually are moving in slow motion in 50 Hz mode). As for FFX, I tried the undubbed version of that as well (it's based on the Japanese FFX International and has English text, and of course my old saves from the PAL version don't work)... and Tidus is just as much of an asshat in Japanese as he is in the English dub.

I don´t think it has a 60hz Mode, no...I don´t remember switching to it, but I DO remember comparing Chie´s hopping-speed (her idle animation in battle) and it looked quite a lot faster in all those Youtube videos...about 20% faster and there we go: Bad Pal-ization.
BUT they didn´t touch the text and the voices. If there´s one thing that´s even worse than crappy Regionalization (is that a word by the way?), it´s german dubs. Augh, do we do a bad job dubbing things. If you want an example just look for the Halo 3-intro in german on youtube...it´s just utter Bullshit. Just leave english things in english dammit. It´s not atlantean or something complicated, anybody can (orshould) understand english.

Well, crud. I can't believe it's still that hard to include the freaking 60 Hz mode in PS2 games in the year 2009. Even the Dreamcast had 60 Hz mode in pretty much every game (at least all the ones I've got have it) and that system has been dead since 2001, so why do we still have to suffer from poor PAL conversions of PS2 games? Perhaps they think it's not worth the extra effort or something...

That sounds like it might have quite a bit of unintentional comedy potential... thankfully most games don't get dubbed here in Finland. I've only really seen it with Disney games and some other casual/family titles as well as some PS3 games that wouldn't need it at all (Resistance 2 in Finnish sounds... well, embarrassing, thankfully you can at least change the system language to English to get the original voices).

Apparently they think flickering slowmotion-games are good enough for those 20 or MAYBE 30 gamers here in the old world. ;)

And almost anything can be quite...comedic in german, but that´s because we have a stupid dubbing-situation here. You either take one of those 20 really good voice-actors, like the german voices of Bruce Willis or Johnny Depp for example. Problem there is that they voice SO many people it get´s annoying to hear them. Also, they don´t dub games very often to begin with. The other way is to use one of the other 40 VOs we have.
And they all suck. They suck ass. Through a straw. They don´t know what voice-acting is about, how to work with your voice, hell even I could do that a lot better, simply because I can emulate certain emotions in my voice. Even that simple task seems to be too much for those guys. That´s why I´m really, really glad that they don´t dub too many games here and if they do, they keep the original voices on the disc in many cases.

By the way, wasn´t Finnish one of the hardest and most complicated languages on the planet? ;) I guess, you´re lucky to be Finnish then :).
But as I always say, it´s good not to be a native english-speaker since it grants you an additional language - your own. Nothing against english, it´s a great language, but I think it´s a waste if you´re a native english-speaking person since it´s so easy to learn and then you´re one language short...I guess the chinese have it best. Those or any native spanish-speaker. *shrugs*

M. Blaze
Apr 17th, 2009, 06:19 PM

Yeah, pretty much. There is a whole lot of complicated grammar-related stuff and other interesting nuances to remember, making it especially tough to learn for foreigners, and a lot of it isn't clear to native speakers either (although I'm quite sure that last bit applies to just about every language).

Back on topic for a while... I downloaded OutRun Online Arcade from Xbox Live last night. Simply awesome, totally worth 800 MS points. I especially like the 15 minute OutRun Mode where you go through every single stage... put on "Magical Sound Shower", hop into the Testarossa (just like the old days) and go on a beautiful journey (and watch out for Sega cameos such as the dragon from Panzer Dragoon). I love OutRun.

I've also started Killzone 2 but aside from it's brilliant graphics and scripted events it has done little to grab my attention. I think my main beef with it is that it feels really horrible to play. The controls are so unresponsive and difficult to use. Why would anyone play FPSs on a console?

Iji (http://playthisthing.com/iji) - Pretty great freeware title. The person who made this obviously had limited drawing skills though. It really shows in the cinema-scenes but isn't as obvious in the in-game graphics because everything moves so fluidly.

I've been using NullDC, though I also have Chankast, which had some problems setting up properly. I hear it's reliable, so I'm sure it's just a matter of me being too lazy to sit down and sort that shit.

I'm running it on my 3 year old Dell Inspiron laptop. It's not as taxing a job as you'd think, since the game's just 2D sprites with low poly backdrops. There's a bit of lag when you're using Hypers, but when hypers are on screen, you're not really doing anything besides blocking, and even then, it's only knocked down to 80%.

Phoenix Gamma
May 9th, 2009, 10:57 PM
In the DS version, they keep track of the endings you got, so it's a little more feasible. They even added a whole new ending and three mini dungeons to tie CT with CC.

Which can be a bad thing depending on how you look at it.

brokensaint82
May 9th, 2009, 11:00 PM
yea all i go is the PS1 version...and the old snes cart soemwhere amid the mess that is my closet....but i'll break out the PS1 and play it......then again that might be the reason for me to buy a ds. and as far as tyeing CT and CC i thought they did that in the endings where the cats step into the time machine? or does that kinda expandf and make more apparent?

Phoenix Gamma
May 9th, 2009, 11:16 PM
PS1 version has load times before battles. Icky :( The DS is definitely the difinitive version, since it's basically the SNES build with the PSX extras, plus its own unique additions, and the sound's been 100% preserved (instead of totally fucked like a lot of ports on handhelds). The optional touch interface also makes chosing commands faster if you play on Active.

The cats and the time machine didn't have anything to do with CC, unless there's some cat ending in CC that's supposed to allude to CT. I know there's a few mentions of Robo and Lucca in CC, and that Crono, Marle, and Lucca make cameos as child ghosts or...something. Plus Schala was a huge focus at the end of the game.

But since Chrono Trigger was pretty much complete, the sequel kinda fell into dis continuity (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisContinuity) among most fans.

brokensaint82
May 9th, 2009, 11:29 PM
yeah the loadf times suck i had forgotten bout them, guess I'll just break out the snes and play the original, and i thought that the main enmy, i forget his name, in CC was a cat person and thats where the cats goin in the time machine had me confused. and i had random musings about square remaking CT into 3-D, which would ultimately suck ofcourse

NHL 09. I don't play many sports games these days, but this one is great. The "Be A Pro" mode is damn addicting, although it's slowly but surely starting to piss me off...

---

Colorado Avalanche coach: "All right, you've proven yourself in the second offensive line, so I'm moving you up to the first one where you play with Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg. Don't disappoint me"

*I play three games on the first line, scoring three goals and god knows how many assists in the first two games, while the third one is disappointing as everyone on the team including Sakic and Forsberg seem to have forgotten how to play, I almost score an empty net goal but some asshole trips me at the blue line eight seconds before the end*

Coach: "We demand the absolute best from you in EVERY MATCH, not just on occasion. We're demoting you to the second line as of now. I hope you have learned something from this. Blah blah blah. I'm a dick. Blah blah blah."

*I score two goals in the next game*

---

Yeah, let's blame the new guy for the team's sudden drop in performance, even though he's scored something like 25 points in his first 15 games! I bet they'll send me back to the Lake Erie Monsters next, as the team's playing efforts don't seem to be getting any better and I can't seem to be able to score any goals any more either.

I dunno...Dino Crisis 1 was...really boring, because you can never kill any Dinosaurs with those few Bullets you find. Bypassing them ain´t really fun...DC2 was awesome, pure Carnage, nice Weapons ans LOTS of dead Raptors that earn me money for more ammo and more weapons :)

And Dino Crisis 3...well...it sucks ass, honestly, it´s really bad. All you do is get lost because of the stupid leveldesign, the weapons are not really fun, the jetpack seems out of place...a shame they had to end the series with such a weak entry.

Playing Parasite Eve 1 right now, emulated though since it was never released in Europe and I don´t want to spend money on the NTSC Version right now. AND I don´t want to dig through all those boxes in my basement to find my modded PS1...

Super Macho Man has me stumping in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I'm really pissed, because I wreck him the first round with two knock downs, but then he destroys me in the second round with his 6+ spin punches.

Majora's Mask came out on Virtual Console, so I started that up. Second favorite Zelda game, bested only by Link to the Past. I love the fucked up story and setting.

Finally, I sunk my teeth into Devil Summoner 2 some more. Really like it, though lack of voice acting is kinda odd, since my roommate likes to watch me without saying a word, so there's a lot of awkward silences as we read text :(

What, System Shock? Maybe you should just buy and patch it (buying only because itīs worth it) ;) But as far as I know, SS2 doesnīt work properly on Vista and to get it to work with XP you need some patches and mods, but after that it works just fine.

I haven't been able to find it in retail stores anywhere, so I'll probably order it online (someday).

Yea, definitely been playing TF2 now that my main man the Spy got a rad update.

Also softmodded my Wii and downloaded Brawl+, which makes shitty characters like C. Falcon and Link a little better while nerfing other characters like MetaKnight. Oh, and custom character skins is fucking rad. Already downloaded Naked Snake, Mr. L, SNES Toon Link, Roy, and Raphael :D

You should. It's a little faster, too, so you can string attacks together a little better. It's so awesome to see Falcon be a viable fighter, since he's so hilariously bad in standard Brawl. I landed a sweep kick, comboed into an overhead kick, jumped and kicked the other guy again, then sprinted at him and delivered the awesome Falcon Knee, all before he could react. I was laughing my ass off.

At least, I don't think so. The Engineer is totally broken, really, in the hands of a skilled player.

Yea, he's still annoying for me to take down. If he knows what he's doing, no amount of carefully placed explosives will take down his fortress in time, and trying to take him down as a spy is still a gamble unless you're lucky enough to backstab and sap before you get shred into ribbons.

I guess Bonk is a nice help for the Scout, but that's about it.

I play both, though I have to be honest in that I haven't played it on the 360 in a couple months.

When (hah if) the updates come out, I will be on a lot more.

Thought about starting Xenogears but since I´m not able to play through that game in 5 days or maybe six until Red Faction Guerilla, Tales of Vesperia (yes, it took them THAT long to not localize it) and Star Ocean arrive here...well...

Red Faction Guerilla is going to be fun, did you play the demo?

OxBlood

Both of them, yes. I liked both Single- and Multiplayer so far. It´s primitive, sure, but hey, I get to blow up tons and tons of shit. I like that. Besides, it´s not like there´s anything else coming out for about a week...apart from Star Ocean, Vesperia has been delayed.

And hopefully on the 12th or 13th: Prototype, my most-wanted title for 2009...at least for now ^^

I'm gonna power through all the 2D Metroids now that Nintendo just showed us the new Metroid game coming out. They're even throwing in some of the Metroid Lore! Awesome :D

Also playing Mario Galaxy again. Never got all the starts as Luigi. And Mario Galaxy 2 got announced, so I'm pumped for that now :D

I didn't like inFAMOUS as much as other people do. I mean, it's a fun game and all, but I don't like the story all that much, and I have a few other issues with it that keep it from being permanent in my collection.

started infamous yesterday. chose to be bad, however, i don't really see the difference yet. a few cutscenes were specific to being evil, but its strange that ill do a mission that involves killing a bunch of cops and that somehow secures the area from reapers, then my friend calls me and says people are feeling safer and putting up posters of me. feeling safer because i killed their only other form of protection? :/

It'll grow on you once you understand how to build good decks.

The key is to lump all of your 0 cards at the end of the deck. That way, during boss fights, if you need to cancel an attack, you know where all of your 0's are. You might want to lump your cures together too so you can cast cura/curaga faster if you're totally fucked.

It's not that great of a game (exploration is shit), but at least there's a second playable characher/story after you beat it once. I'm not sure if the 3D PS2 version actually improved anything.
