Seriously, though, leave this ##### to happen to me.
I take near obsessive care of all my belongings, especially anything that's a disc.
My brother, on the other hand, doesn't even know where half the cases to any of his games are, they're tossed around the house in all corners of god-knows-where, discs lying sideways or upside down or wedged between shelves and books and on the ground... and he's never had a problem.
I'm glad we have such vastly different taste in video games or else there'd be serious problems.
My mother is like this too. I hate it, because she messes with my stuff. Like, now I can't keep a CD on my stereo, because if she "borrows" it, I know the CD will be placed incorrectly somewhere NOT on it's case. Almost worse than not using cases, she mixes cases and sometimes puts two or more CDs on a same case, just because she can't find any other. ...I've met a lot of people like this, and I myself actually care a lot about that kind of stuff. Like, if the CD has some sort of graphic on it, I place it so that when you open it, you look at the graphic correctly, instead of to the side or upside down. On a side note, I'm paranoid. |

BlazBlue is badass.
This.
I wish the internet didn't ONLY EVER devolve into one word sentences for everything. But then, I guess it's not just the internet right? "Right." Exactly. Oh look I did it too. But yeah about this game, never heard of it until now. I never liked fighters. :/
Same here. That's just how #####ing good this is.
Soooo it's like Half-Life 2 for fighters? Cool. See Sano I don't hate on everything. I've been playing the new Transformers game, which is pretty mediocre yet fun. It holds your attention for each of the levels, which last around 7-8 minutes each, and then after you turn it off you're like "Why the hell did I buy that?"
That's what King-Fu Panda is like. Except it doesn't really give you the option to leave the game in between levels unless you just turn it off so it's like it KNOWS what it's doing. But I didn't expect much from a movie tie-in game OR a free with XBox game OR a movie tie-in free with XBox game. |

I don't plan on getting DLC very often at all. This was one game that I felt was definitely worth it, though. Loads of hours of gameplay and I was still having a blast with it.
I suppose I can just finance someone's credit card for the extra 200 points if it's possible to choose how many points you want.
Anyway I'm playing GTA IV right now. Nico reminds me of a badass Luigi, the way his voice kind of sounds. I don't mean his accent, which obviously isn't italian, you know what I mean.
I really liked Mass Effect but I wasn't for all the similar mapped areas and it's pretty silly how few planets you can actually land on without the mako. Also on normal difficulty I didn't buy anything until very late in the game. With my grenade count I screwed up Paragon in the Thorian mission (and then only a little bit, I ended up running past most of the shooters), but that's the only trouble I really came across without using money.
Curiosity had me viewing the sex scene and I couldn't believe how despicable this scene was made out to be by... certain people, Fox News included. I mean... that was nothing compared to what you see on TV or in movies. But to be honest it only really made me laugh, how ridiculous their claims were, how they were refuted as blatant lies and how it made them all look like a bunch of idiots. I hope that hit their viewership hard because they deserve it.

I wouldn't have known that, about the melee attacking, because for one I never even learned how to do it, it seemed to be automatic as far as I could tell. And I would've assumed it killed them anyway. It didn't matter though because I saved more lives than lost.
I had no trouble with the side quests period, though I didn't have a sniper. It was more the abundance of mako. I didn't expect that at all, I expected there to be more than a few planets where you could actually land the Normandy. But that's okay, I still liked the game a lot.
I still feel like Liberty City is a satire of New York City, and I really don't mind the changes. San Andreas is probably better, but it was before my time, really. I didn't like GTA back then.

Good idea. It can be a big a big game if you want to do everything. You don't have to, of course. In fact even most of the achievements only ask you do "most" of it, which amounts to 75% of whatever they're talking about. I did everything I could possibly do in my first playthrough except one very minor thing because I liked the game so much. People find it kind of crazy I got to level 50 in my first playthrough and got all the best possible weapons in the game (Spectre Master Gear, level X), but I liked it THAT much! I haven't played it in a bit so I can't totally remember the buttons, I'll probably play it soon though and I'll let you know. You can basically pistol whip them and they fall down. I definitely didn't have the hang of grenades at all in that mission (I never use them) so I had to knock the people out. Oh, also; Didn't that Asari Clone look cool? I really hope/wish there are other green Asari in the future. Generally, the Normandy is too big to safely land. It requires a huge Mass Effect field to land a whole starship on a small planet, and most/all of the sidequest planets are small. And that's with a normal sized drive core, whereas the Normandy is a prototype and it's drive core is double the size of other spacecraft in it's class. The planets are also uncharted, which makes landing the Normandy there unsafe. These are just a couple reasons they threw in to explain why the Normandy rarely lands and why most planets are just a square map ("operational area"). I think there's a bunch of other reasons for stuff like this in the codex entries (I read them all......... ....  ) that talk about it. It would be cool if the Normandy landed more often, but ultimately useless. There's no real reason you'd need it planet side. I'm just hoping Mass Effect 2 has maybe a couple other kinds of planetary craft as well. Something that hovers and goes faster but has less protection would be great. Anyway for the eyes of people that have played it; [spoiler]Who did you choose for romance? And who did you have with you by the end of the game?[/spoiler] Liberty City is still a parody of NY, and looks the part much more so in GTAIV. My problem isn't that, it's all still a parody. But the actual gameplay and stuff that happens used to be more... vivid. Or colourful, maybe. While I find GTAIV looks spectacular, it's at the same time pretty bleak looking. I'm of the impression New York City actually looks like that, but still. I get annoyed when games consist of few colours other than gunmetal grey and poo brown. But like I said I haven't had much time to immerse myself into the game. There's just a quality I can't place that sets it off from the others. Also I find Niko very bland. But I agree with John, GTA:SA is the best of the series so far for me. For people that agree I suggest the Saints Row series. It feels very similar to how San Andreas plays, and you can see a bunch of what Rockstar adopted from Volition to make GTAIV in Saints Row. Apparently some of the downloable content in SR2 has references to Red Faction: Guerrilla... |
