Dispite taking place right outside of hoover dam, the fight scene of Transformers was filmed in Detroit. I live an hour north of there.
-
nope, i still need to finish the DS version first. I'll get it eventually, I just have lots going on right now.
Speaking of which, I'm playing through it again... after getting to lvl 92 with no tails to show for it. I just got kain back and I'm having some trouble with the wind archfiend. Also, RELEVANT VIDEO!!!
Why didn't you get this guy for a part in the project?

The only thing stopping me from buying this game is the controls. But I just heard that there is a patch out or almost out for it. Can anyone verify this? I really want in on this game, but I'm sure there are too many people that are used to the controls and would destroy me while I try to figure it out.
Also, is the patch a single and multiplayer control fix? Seems foolish that they would only do one or the other.

Question!: Why did the runtime go up from 101 min to 126 if they added 45 min new footage?.. did they remove alot of stuf aswell? or did they actually only add 25 min new footage?
Probably redone footage counts for part of the 45 minutes.

You know, there are only a couple times I would ever buy a game new at full price. I'm patient enough to find it used at a reduced price and Uncharted 2 might be a game that I pick up on the release date.
In the meantime, my birthday was a month ago, and my brother said he was going to get me advent children complete when it came out. It's been four days since it's release and he still hasn't done anything about it yet. I should go bug him right now.

But that brings up a question. PSP only has two shoulder buttons. How does that convert a ps1 title that has 4 shoulder buttons?
-
But still, umd's have an advantage over their downloadable counterparts. They don't take any space on their hard drive, and more importantly, you can find them used at a discounted price. Can't do that otherwise. That's why I'm waiting for the dissidia bundle. Any mention of when birth by sleep is coming out?
-
I saw a comment on gametrailers that the ps3 will have a monthly fee for this game. Obviously it's just a comment, but does anyone have proof that it wont?
-
Right, but it seems that Camino(sp) specializes in making armies for profit. Much like an arms dealer. So do you think it could still be them? All the sith did look alike you know...then again, we didn't get to see many faces.
-
Man, I have class so I can't go. I haven't missed a class since starting college in 06'. But for this occasion I would... except that it's a lab and you're not allowed to miss even one.
-
So why isn't this on the ds?
-
So..... That looked like a clone transport. And then the ships attacking from the air at the end looked like clone battlecruisers. Does this mean that the attacking sith are all clones?
-
Very excited for new MGS!
You mean the psp one right?
-
That's my question. I was really looking into the dissidia bundle but was holding out to learn more about the psp-go. How exactly are we supposed to use it as a gaming tool without external media disks? I would assume that the only way would be to download each and every game individually off of the playstation store, but that still brings up the question, what if you delete it for lack of space? Would you then need to buy it again after you want to play? I don't know. The thing that got me interested was the second analog thingy which looks like it goes only up and down and the rumor of the touch screen. What do you all think?
-
You know, with the rarity in people actually doing ps2 online (forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong. I just don't see anyone that did it.) this should be a much more successful game. PS3 right out of the box has free online play. I don't know if I'll get it, seeing as I've never done an mmo before, but I'll definately keep my eye on it.
-
I thought this was nowhere NEAR ready for primetime. The demonstration alone felt as if Sony threw it all together at the last second on the rumor that Microsoft was doing something motion based as well. Nothing seemed to work until the very end when it was just a simple point-and-shoot thing.
They said it was in production for over a year.
-
Hey guys, I'm going to be at work when it hits 0. Does anyone want to take a video of the end and upload it?
-
Hey, it stopped raining.

Wait did you just make one post replying to me and then I replied to that and then you made another post replying to my original one? Was that an editfail, or what?
Also the point is that every game ever has subgoals built into its main quest, so complaining that the game doesn't let you go directly from point A (beginning of game) to point Z (killing final boss) without first going through points B-Y is stupid.
The part I posted about was a mere fragment of the game. [spoilers] Killing Doulmagus isn't even halfway through the game. In fact, I didn't mention the first 25 hours that it took me to get to the part where you get to the boat.[/spoilers] I was talking about from point J to point L in terms of story. I have no problem with sidequests, but when the entire game forces you to leave the main quest for the sole purpose of pushing you towards meeting the rest of the world that they created, I don't like it. Find some other means of showing us the world that they created.

Zelda games are nothing but boring sidequest after boring sidequest. If you took out all of the pointless missions, the game wouldn't be half as long. Let me give you an example.
The quest is to go save Hyrule from Gannondorf. But first you need to leave the forest you live in. You try to go talk to the magic tree that rules the forest but some guy won't let you because you don't have a sword and shield, so you go find money and buy a shield. When you can't figure out a way to get a sword, some random person tells you that there's one hidden in the forest somewhere. Yey! But he doesn't know where. First you need to go wander around the forest and find it, and when you do you can finally go see the magic tree and ask him if you can leave the forest. The tree says yes, but before you can go, he a tells you about a bad man who cursed him and now he's dying. So you need to go inside the magic tree and fight the monsters to break the curse. Now you have permission to leave the forest. You make your way across Hyrule Field to Hyrule Castle Town but you can't see Zelda because of all the guards and now you need some means to sneak inside. So you look around the grounds for a way to do so. But the only way in is blocked by a fat sleeping guy and you can't just wake him up for some reason. So the only way to wake him up is to first get a chicken egg from his daughter and make it hatch and crow at the fat guy because she's too much of a wuss to go and sneak in on her own. Now we can wake him up. But the egg hasn't hatched yet. So we then need to wait around for a while with the egg in our inventory so it'll hatch. But once you wake the fat guy up and finally get inside the castle there are even more guards inside, so you have to sneak through the gardens. Now you can talk to Zelda and find out how to fight Ganondorf. *phew*
Wow, those sidequests lasted a couple minutes at most. Every last one of the ones I named lasted around an hour. And that is if you didn't level grind along the way. (Which I hate doing but I feel it's necessary.) DQVIII doesn't even compare to the type of game that zelda is, so why even try to make a comparison?

No wonder I never finished watching that ocarina playthrough.

Oh wow, I actually waited and saw the raiden.

LOL there have only been 2 games that I actually sat down and watched a walkthrough of on youtube. The first being mgs3 (I beat the game twice but never owned it, and I wanted to play it again. So I watched someone else play it. Vash12349 does a really good comentary with it.) and the other one being Star ocean 4. I was so angry at the VA at that game, but I struggled through the whole story. It was kind of hard to keep at it, but I did it.ugh, star ocean. after watching the first hour of cutscenes, i took the disc out and threw it across the room. it's still sitting there. this was a few months ago.honestly, how can a casting agency hire voice actors that are that bad? I'LL act for them, for half the cost, and i'll do just as bad of a job.
At the very least, welch was kind of amusing, no matter how annoying she was.

Why you gotta be hatin'?
The game is nothing but boring sidequest after boring sidequest. If you took out all of the pointless missions, the game wouldn't be half as long. Let me give you an example.
The quest is to go overseas to find Doulmagus, and kill him. But first you need to find a boat. You find the boat but it's beached and can't be moved, so you go back to your castle to research a way. When you can't figure out a way, the weird harp playing guy comes along and says that he will move it with his magical harp. Yey! But his harp isn't strong enough. First you need to go a neighboring kingdom and see if you can have their harp because you helped them in a sidequest earlier. The king says yes, but when you go to the underground vault, a bunch of moles dug their way into it and made off with the harp. So you need to track them back to their hideout and fight them for it. Now you have the harp to get the boat into the water. You make your way across the sea to Doulmagus but he's protected himself within 'the darkness' and now you need some means to blow away 'the darkness'. So you look for the mirror with enough power to do so. But the only mirror powerful enough to do this is one of another kingdom’s treasures and the king can't just give you a relic of historical importance. So the only way to get it is to first help his majesty's son go through his puberty ritual because he's too much of a wuss to go and do it on his own. Now we can get the mirror. But the mirror has lost it's power. So we then need to go to the west and see the magical sage who will be able to restore its power. But he can't and tells you to first go to the open water and find a certain shark that hits you with a light based attack and when it hits the mirror, then it will be recharged. Now you can blast through 'the darkness' and fight doulmagus. *phew*
BTW, every last VA with exception to Yangus is terrible. Almost as bad as Star Ocean 4.
Game Fuel

So when Halo 3 came out in 07' and Pepsi showed off their new product 'game fuel' featuring master chief I was indifferent. At halo parties, there is always dew around and game fuel seemed like just another money making scheme trying to capitalize on someone else's success. Then I find out that they are doing it again.
What I have to ask is, why World of Warcraft? First of all, the game is 5ive years old by now. I was still in high school when it was released. It's far too late to try and introduce a soda based on it. Secondly, World of Warcraft isn't a game you need energy drinks to play. In Halo, there is fast paced action that requires twitchy fingers to perform well. But in WoW, the pace is much slower. You don't need sugar rushes to win. On the contrary, what it takes to win in WoW is skill and tactics... and really good equipment. Or so I would guess. I've never played the game myself.
But anyway, when I first saw it I saw no point in it. What do you all think?
