LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

[Dr. Boogie]

Both. Usually I wait until I can get a game for between $30 and $40, and I try to focus on older games I have, but at times I'll throw all that out the window and focus on whatever new game I have.

[OxBlood]

Goddammit, there I was, minding my own business, casually browsing the US-PSN when suddenly BAM-Persona 2 for PSP. I think I resisted for about 5 seconds before buying a card and getting it.

P2 is one of those games you hear SO much about over here but we never got to play it, kinda like FF6 back in the day. Wait...doesn´t...doesn´t Persona 2 have Hitler in it and his Persona is Nyarlathotep? How much better can this evening get

Also, I have 13 bucks left on my account. I kinda feel like gettin Alundra and Parasite Eve 2 too, any other suggestions?


No, wait...Breath of Fire IV...how did you get here...c´mere you great old game you...

Not if you want to play with all your buds at the same time.

I don't kid.

It was alright, it had that girl's arse in it. I dunno. It was rubbish but ok.


Does anyone know if Space Marine is 'cross platform'? My friend says that if I have it on Xbox I can play him online even though he has it on PS3. Is this truth or shite?

I´m pretty sure that won´t work. Has there ever been a game where 360 and PS3 could play together? The fact that I only find around 20 matches most of the time also hints at single-platform play too.

But I´d love if it worked, especially for games like this where the online is not as populated to begin with.

[Zhukov]

Yeah, I thought it was idiocy, but he insisted.

Maybe FF11 was. I thought I remember if you played it on PS2 you were on the same server as the PC players were. But I may be pulling a Roidger Clemens and 'mis-remembering' that whole debacle.

Shadow Run?

You're right about FF11. My friend had it on PS2 and I played it on PC. I've also played on my PC with people who have it on the xbox 360 so it definitely is cross platform....really how all games should be.

I don't think Space Marines is cross platform though.

[OxBlood]

I mean crossplatform between PS3 and 360. PC and X, yeah sure, we get that quite often these days.

[Fathom Zero]

It's the way the games' network interfaces work. It's just an additional step.

Shadowrun for the 360 and PC was cross-platform. Ironically, it was highly touted at the time for being that way and for being the first Game for Windows Live that was released. Since then, it's been the only Game for Windows Live that you can play with console owners.

I really liked that game, too. Shame it had so many network issues. Everything else was solid, though. Pretty game.

I just put my money down on Dark Souls today. Traded in 12 games that were gathering dust and got $130, which surprised me. So I preordered Dark Souls and the Metal Gear Solid HD collection. I'm so psyched to play Peacewalker for the first time and go back to Big Shell and Groznyj Grad. I missed out on the Subsistence version of 3, too, so it'll be doubly awesome.

BUT DARK SOULS. COMES OUT TUESDAY. SEE YOU ON THE KILLING FLOOR, MOTHERFUCKERS.

[Shyandquietguy]

I have been hooked on Mount and Blade. It makes slaughtering and razing peasant villages just too much fun. I've actually gotten great with bows and I still feel giddy going into a charge and knocking out 4 or more consecutive kills out of a mob of 60.

[Pentegarn]

I hear some people think that is real. PT Barnum was right

And everything was the wrong color, it was awesome!

[Hydraulic_Brains]

Where can I buy this 8 bit mexican playstation? I do believe that I need one!

[k0k0]

I've seen them at flea markets. At least the one that plays mario with weird colors.

[darkvare]

they sell thosse over here at walmart for like 15 bucks they come packed with around a 100 games some different slightly changed versions of the same game, 2 controllers and a gun

[Zhukov]

Here's a question: would you (YOU!) buy a Dreamcast if they were in shops for cheap. If you already have one, would you buy some sort of sequel that was about the same power as a Wii, but with the typical DC/arcadey game selections.

I am yes.

[zerothree]

If Sega had ever made a console post-Dreamcast, I'd be all over it in a heartbeat. Should it's game library be similar to DC's (Arcade perfect ports and unique 1st party exclusives) that'd be even more of a reason for me to get it. Unlike the Wii though, I think that the system would have to be capable of HD graphics. I don't mean to say that great graphics make a difference and it's not just great gameplay, as I certainly don't think that's the case. In today's market for console games, HD seems to be very important with most TVs now. Playing standard def. on an HDTV looks like ass for the most part. I recently I've been playing Skyward Sword and thought to myself that the game would be amazing with HD graphics.

Anyhoozle, a console for the more hardcore gamer would be nice to have now-a-days. Or at least a console where it's games aren't mostly sports and first person shooters or total crap shovelware games.
