So, I screwed up repeatedly today in my attempt to buy PS2 games. Went to EB for the 2 for $50 deal they had, got four games. Then went to another store, only to learn they had a 2 for $40 deal I didn't know about, with most of the same games (sans Psychonauts). Wish I'd realised earlier. THEN I went to TRU, and discovered I could have gotten Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) Collection cheaper there than at the second store. All in all, I wasted nearly AU$20, which would have been almost another game. And as a result of the selection at EB being somewhat weaker than at the second store and me not knowing I had more choice, I ended up with more generic platformers than I planned for. Anyway, I got, in this order: God of War (duh) Psychonauts (no-brainer) Jak & Daxter (before they went all "mature" with it) Ratchet & Clank (was hesitant about this, but they didn't have a fourth game I wanted or anything else in the series) Jak 3 (after they went all mature, but I've already played a bit of 2 at a friend's and wanted to see if this was any better/different) Ratchet & Clank 3 (which I originally wanted instead of the first one) Sega Mega Drive Collection Convince me to keep Ratchet & Clank rather than returning it, or maybe to get the second one instead. Because what I've seen and played of it didn't thrill me all that much, and I wasn't sure how fans ranked the series. There was other stuff I could have gotten, but it was all more expensive... And I'll work out what I forgot later. I'd love to get the DMC box set if I can find it online at a site that ships here. --- 'All opinions are not equal.

You might as well try R&C1. Play it before 3 because you won't be able to get into it at all if you don't. I also can't really get into DMC1, but it might be because it looks (and plays) like a glorified PS1 game. Thinking of just skipping it to move onto DMC3. On a side-note, I hate R&C's acronym, because the "and" sign is in a weird place and I stumble for a second finding it (I swear, it's the only key whose location I don't have memorized. --- SUPER PAPER MARIO TC is a Mormon.....

Just finished Wario: Master of Disguise. I'm feeling very conflicted about the title, to be honest. The concept is good, and farily well done...however certain things just bug me. The disguises are well done, and they're unique enough to have a good experience. However, one of the biggest irks is the switching mechanism. There are 8 outfits, and 8 drawings that you need to draw to switch outfits. Some of them are just too similar, and ridiculously sensitive. Game length really is pretty good. There are 10 levels, and each one takes about an hour to work though. They're really quite huge. However, there's an issue as well...getting lost is fairly easy, and if you do so, it may take a while to get back on the right track. (Most levels center around collecting a few keys or special times, and then using them to unlock the path to the boss) As for the bosses...they're fairly good. Some of them are very easy, but others are just totally frustrating to deal with. The flower especially. In this battle, you need to shoot a few targets, start shooting her with flame from Dragon Wario, and then it gets...annoying. The boss flies up in the air. In order to get there, you need to use a seesaw and Artsy Wario to get up. The problem is that Artsy Wario can't move, so you need to quickly switch outfits after triggering the seesaw, and pray you can get on a ledge. Then you actually have to hit the boss, which requires jumping, and being lucky with a fireblast. If you don't hit, you have to repeat it again. It's a very, very, very annoying process. Overall if was very satisfying, but very frustrating. --- In my eyes...indisposed... In disguise...as no one knows... |

I know it's already been discussed, but I certainly feel like RE4 Wii will be too easy unless they beef up the difficulty a lot (and it's not like Capcom's other RE4 ports have been stellar, particularly the half-assed PC version)... I mean, in addition to the Wiimote aiming that's now been confirmed, IGN states that you simply shake the Wiimote to knife at something - and the game aims at the enemy or object for you. Why shove waggle in over a button when it takes away the feature of, you know, actually aiming in the direction you're slicing? Why not just push A to knife at someone?

Third page? WTF is going on? http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/04/pacman_vs_from_.html Pac-Man VS is going to be part of Namco Museum DS. I always wanted to play that, but it never came out here, and it was hardly practical in the countries it did come out (came with some crappy Namco games, required GBAs and GCN link cables). That said, the collection is crap. Most of those games are on the GBA Namco Museum, which my brother has. It doesn't even have all of them; it's missing Ms. Pac-Man and Pole Position. You'd think by now that if they're going to release the same collections every few years, they would at least make them complete. Although, the GBA game didn't save high scores for some stupid reason, so there would be one reason to pick this up cheap. --- 'All opinions are not equal.

I bought Super Paper Mario yesterday, and played for almost 6 hours. I also bought some component cables for my Wii to make it look ever nicer. The game is absolutely amazing. It surpasses what I expected of it (and I expected a lot from it). Really, I can't think of any flaws with it, other than it's a bit too easy. Other than that, though, it's a unique blend of platforming and Paper Mario exploration that works perfectly together. I don't even know how to describe it. The levels all have clever design, and a stylish, interesting look. The dialog is great, too, and there isn't as much of it as the reviewers claimed there was. I'm in Chapter 3 right now. I can't wait to get further in this game. --- SUPER PAPER MARIO TC is a Mormon..... Which is cool, it's like Christian fan-fiction. -Teh Nowhere Man |

Really? I was (not so much in Chapter 2, though). Chapter 5 isn't too interesting, though. Maybe I'm just still in shock over how freaking awesome 4-4 was, though. One of the coolest looking places in the game. Hell, that whole Chapter looked cool. 5.... to be honest, they could've gone more all-out, here. It would have been cool to make everything look really abstract, which would have made sense given the way the residents of the place look. But alas...

That is a good list. Definitely agreed on number. When I saw that scene in the second game with his arm on Ocelot, I was like "What the **** is this ****?". Ridiculous. Anyways, beat Chapter 5 in Super Paper Mario. It sucked. A lot. I hate the residents of the place, and could barely understand what they were saying, which has been a problem throughout the game, actually. Hey Treehouse, you don't need crazy-ass dialect to be funny. Look at the first Paper Mario. The humor was much more subtle, and still worked. The second game was crazier, but still pretty good. This one... nope. Not feelin' it. Also, I hate Tippi. **** that butterfly. She has no personality at all, which pisses me off more because she's the "Tattle" using character in the game.

I found this on the GS3 board, I'm hoping they're mistaken about it being GS4, it seems like they wouldn't refer to it as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney-Trials and Tribulations if it was but they don't mention PW in this part, if they skip translating 3 they skip perhaps the most crucial part of the Phoenix Wright story arc. Copied from the post on the GS comm in livejournal: "Okay! So, I have confirmation Trials and Tribulations exists from Capcom Gamer's Day. That's the good news. The bad news? The source I got listed it as Gyakuten Saiban 4, not 3. I asked him to clear this up several times, he told me four more than once. Now, it's entirely possible he could be mistaken, Capcom USA messed up labeling things, or that they're just skipping GS3 as a whole. But in any event, there is another Ace Attorney game titled Trials and Tribulations coming. I hear this year, but I can't say either way.

Impossible II Posted 4/13/2007 8:58:38 AM message detail |
No. The main character in the fourth game is someone else. In some respects, I want to play AA4 more because it's actually made for the DS, but there's no way I want it BEFORE the third game. It's a hell of a lot easier to go 3 then 4 than to go 4 than 3, regardless of which one I'm more immediately interested in. And AA3 is widely considered the best of the first three games, and completes their story arc. Apparently Edgeworth and the Feys aren't even MENTIONED in AA4, which sucks. I'd love to at least know what happened to them. Edgeworth is as great as Phoenix, and it's nearly as important to see what's become of him. As well as what became of Maya and Pearl... I was thinking that a now more grown-up Pearl would be perfect to appear in the game.
