Upcomming Gammes Toppic

[Mikero]

Yeah it looks really great. Do you make the character too? I ask because I watched a couple vids that had different dudes.

[Edgecrusher]

That's part of it, yes.

[Mikero]

That's good. First/only PS3 game I want. But I can't be getting a PS3 just for one game, of course.

[Edgecrusher]

To be frank, when I bought mine it was for the foremost purpose of using it as a media center.

[ASR]

LittleBigPlanet looks amazing and totally up my alley, but I don't care enough to get a PS3 for it.

[Edgecrusher]

I probably wouldn't either.

But as I have one, this is mandatory.

[preventerWIND]

LittleBigPlanet looks amazing and totally up my alley, but I don't care enough to get a PS3 for it.

I'm in the same alley with ASR. I'd love to make little characters, and the previews all look real fun. Totally would get it if I had a PS3..

And we're not doing anything suspicious in that alley.

[ASR]

Yeah, if I had a PS3, I'd be counting down the days and hyping it and going to buy it the day it came out.

[Edgecrusher]

Or smuggling it out early.

[ASR]

Smooth.

[MOX]

I've been really excited about LBP since I saw it at the last E3. My tablet can hook up to the PS3 so the drawing part of the game seems neat if it can work out that way; but besides that the creation seems way fun, and games with customization keep me playing nonstop.

[Chron]

That computer...
... wow. This guy has to be an electrical/computer engineer or someone who's going to have a bright, bright future as one.

If you can do that sort of thing, guys, you can make a Turing-class machine with LBP.
Which is basically a computer.

... assuming the PS3 can handle it, which, if LBP makes correct use of the Cell, it should be able to handle easily. Save maybe memory restrictions.

I... I want a PS3 now. And I never really cared to have one for any other reason than converting it into a Linux box before.
man i need a job

[Vinchenz Rock]

So, I might be getting a Beta Key for LBP.

I probably won't get my PS3 before the game comes out, so it's up for grabs.

Assuming I get one, though the chances are good on that.

[ASR]

You can just go to USA Today online or whatever.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, but if its like the other websites that have "First Come, First Serve", it'll be gone in a couple days.

I'm pretty sure I got my e-mail in in time.

Yes, those two "in"s are intentional.

[Edgecrusher]

I believe the beta is almost over, but if no one else wants it, I'll use it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

4 days, still enough time to get an impression.

Aaaaand... sent.

[Mikero]

Before LBP (which every time you guys write I think it says "Lester B. Pearson") I'd only have used a PS3 as a big external hard drive.

[Edgecrusher]

So, now having played the game, I can say:

If I didn't already have a PS3, I would indeed buy one for this game.

It's going to win #####-loads of awards.

No More Heroes - Desperate Struggle

[Majikn]

My eye always twitches when I see that kind of attempt at giving the screen an "old film through the projector" look. Just how fake it is.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Travis Strikes Again.
Awesome.

[Vinchenz Rock]

So, um, remember Sonic and the Black Knight?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMemZgkPEZ8

It's not looking too bad...

AND CRUSH 40 IS BACK ##### YEAH

[Chron]

Sonic + Grinding = Horrible game, no exceptions.

Everybody go home, nothing to see here.

[Edgecrusher]

Sonic + Grinding = Horrible game, no exceptions.

Sonic Advance

[ASR]

Thanks, Edge.

[ChaosVortex]

I personally liked to grind, but only a few parts. It has to be done right.

Remember that stage in Sonic Heroes where you do nothing but grind?

That was so dumb...

[Vinchenz Rock]

Oh, THAT kind of grinding.

Yeah, it ain't bad, but like Chaos said, I disliked it when it's the main part of the stage.

But I think only Sonic Heroes did grinding that much.

[Edgecrusher]

The later Sonic/Shadow stages in Sonic Adventure 2 had ##### loads of grinding with no floor what-so-ever.

Though I have to say, I DID enjoy those stages. They kept things tense.

[preventerWIND]

I liked grinding, and like edge said, some stages were annoying but way cool. Like Final Weapon or rush or whatever. Theres parts where you could make HUGE leaps and falls and manage to grab a rail, it was so fun!

[ASR]

I feel like those last levels of SA2 did grinding right. I didn't mind those at all, not one bit.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Oh, right, SA2's last stages.

Yeah, they're so good, I forgot them.

[Chron]

You guys can't be serious.
Those are some of the most poorly designed levels in Sonic History.

Also, I stand by my original ideal. No exceptions.

[Mikero]

I agree with Chron. They were pretty crud and grinding in that game felt really... gritty, slow, tough... Something like that. Like why was grinding not fast? It's a SONIC game...

Although, like Wind and Edge, I really thought the whole "no floor" and "managing to grab a rail in a big fall" stuff was fun in spite of the actual grinding being... grindy. You'd think Sonic would wax his Soap Shoes or something. In real life when kids had Soap Shoes they waxed the rails or their grind plates...

My eye always twitches when I see that kind of attempt at giving the screen an "old film through the projector" look. Just how fake it is.

What I find extra stupid about it is that the film grain is actually on the black bars, which aren't "projected" on since they aren't part of the "screen" at all.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Hahah, the Miles Edgeworth: Perfect Prosecutor booth at TGS looks EXACTLY like his room from the first PW game!

[ChaosVortex]

HahahaHAHAHA.

That's niiice.

[NovaMan XP]

Someone should've stole his first trial clothes. >_>

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Um... Hello?
Did you guys forget about NMH2?

[Johncarllos]

OMG YES IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

[ASR]

Uh, yeah. Whoohoo and all that.

Didn't even care enough to beat the first one.

[Majikn]

Yeah, I had actually thought better of getting it, and then my brother got it for me and I was like "... Oh. Thanks."

And then I beat the first guy and stopped.

[Xero]

Just got Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Wow it's fun and cute.

I love Kirby games.

[ASR]

I used to LOVE Kirby games.

And then one day, something clicked.

And I can't play them.

I played Super Star Ultra and it only confirmed that, because not even the insane amount of nostalgia could salvage that game for me.

[Mikero]

NMH2.
Uh, yeah. Whoohoo and all that.

Didn't even care enough to play the first one.

[preventerWIND]

I did, but caring isn't enough. Sometimes you need money.

[Edgecrusher]

I'll be picking up Dead Space this Wednesday.

Silent Hill, Dead Space, and another Saw movie in one month...

I love October.

[Mikero]

I did, but caring isn't enough. Sometimes you need money.

At best, I'll just rent the first one to see if I like it. Which could happen this week. But probably not.

[Speed Racer]

Fable 2: LE, Far Cry 2: LE, and Gears of War: LE are all paid off. Quantum of Solace: LE will be paid off Wednesday morning when I pick up Fable 2 and Far Cry 2. This leaves me with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: LE and Call of Duty: World at War - LE to pay off before the Christmas shopping season.

And then it's off to buy Prince of Persia: LE and perhaps Damnation!

[von Teelio]

I totally forgot about that new James Bond game. Hopefully it's as good as Everything or Nothing was.
