  1. I wouldnt consider Monster Hunter Tri or Muramasa rpgs. At all. Theyre way more hack n slash. Their stories are basically nonexistent too. Youre also forgetting Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story. Ive heard nothing but good things about Xenoblade. Also, this gen I think the DS and PSP dominated jrpgs. Also, iOS has over 300 green games on Metacritic.
  2. I have about 75 PS3 games if I include dlc games and i still havent completed my collection of good games on that system. There still some I dont own or that havent come out yet. I can almost guarantee there are over 100 really good games on the PS3 and 360 and way more on the PC. I dont think I could find a hundred good games on the WIi and Gamecube combined. Thats honestly what I feel. But I actually agree that the Wii library is better than the Gamecube. People see the Gamecube in a very holy light because for the most part the games that got sequels on the WIi were better. Its the general consensus that SMB Melee was better than Brawl, Wind Waker was better than Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime was better than both the sequels and Other M. Not to mention ReMake and Eternal Darkness. But that being said, I think overall the Wii has had way better games and more of them than the Cube.
  3. I might get a code right now for free if they dont need any verification that I have the game, then buy it used when its cheap. Its a dick move, but its hard to pass up.
  4. Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 for 29.99 free shipping and no tax. Got it from CAG. The Promo Codes are listed below: EMCJKHK97 (Xbox 360): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...74129030-L027B EMCJKHK98 (PS3): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...79233061-L027C
  5. It is weird that its coming out so early, I guess because of Christmas and to some extent because of the PC version. You rerelease a game on another console, you have to add something extra to not make people who waited feel too shitty. Im also sure LA Noire will not get any extra content anymore because of Team Bondi being assholes, AND its Christmas, so you might as well also rerelease the game again on all consoles. It makes sense for them.
  6. But the Wii still gets CoD and there is a Dead Space game that they had to make from the ground up because theyre completely different games. It doesnt make sense to make a different Wii version.
  7. I never really understood why a lot of multiplatform games couldnt be ported to the Wii though. Im pretty sure a crappy low res version of Dead Space, COD4 or Mirror's Edge could have been on the system easily. Is there anything that those games do technologically that the WIi wouldnt be able to handle?
  8. Yeah, those shitty 90(maybe they were 80) dollars N64 cartridges were a drag. While the graphics were better(though fuzzy) than the PS1s, it had a really hard time doing video and it didnt have the cd audio quality either. I understand it, but it still cracks me up how it couldnt do the basic stuff, even if it was the most powerful system at the time. Oh, N64.... I have to say, when the Dreamcast was the big dog for that one year or whatever, I never imagined it would fail. It just didnt seem likely. I have nothing but fond memories of it then a total fucking blackout and then it going out of production. Maybe some of you older guys remember.....did people see the end of the Dreamcast coming or did it just happen out of nowhere? I feel that if it can happen to the Dreamcast, it could happen to the Wiiu.
  9. http://kotaku.com/5851303/should-reviewers-take-off-points-for-online-passes This has to be one of the stupidest things ive ever read. Thats like lowering a score on a movie because you didnt wait to watch it in the dollar theater.
  10. This is kind of a shitty thing to admit, but Ive never actually owned a Nintendo home console until the Wii. Why? For the same reason Ive never owned a 360 - everyone else I know has one. And no, its not elitism, its getting to play the best other systems have to offer for free. I love the first Halo as much as people who actually owned it because I used to go to my friends house and play it almost every day for about 2 months. I always chose the alternative - Genesis instead of SNES, Playstation instead of Nintendo64, and PS2 instead of Gamecube. So far i feel ive made the best choices. My real love for Nintendo is in it's handhelds. Ive owned every single iteration of the GB and GBA. I got the DS, then the DSlite, then I stopped. I got older and had my own job and had to pay for my own shit and realized how much of a waste getting these Nintendo handheld "upgrades" was. The 3DS has only sunk them deeper into mediocrity in my eyes. Theres just so many things wrong with that system. That being said, the Wii is awesome and the games are either amazingly great, mediocre and probably better on another system, or awful. There are no inbetweens in WIi games. And guess what? The Nintendo franchise games are the great ones. Third party developers just leave scraps for Wii owners. We play RE5, Wii owners play those ok Chronicles games, we play Dead Space 1 and 2 and Wii owners play Extraction(Which I actually love, but not as much as DS1 and DS2), and shit like that just keeps going on. The saddest part is that a lot of good games get brought up to great status by the fanboys because its on the Wii and maybe they dont own a 360 or PS3 and dont know any better. I dont know what their deal is. I guess starvation can make a dirty boot taste like pumpkin pie. I personally hate this because they try to convert people and convince them into buying a system with a listful of great games, when in reality that list could probably be cut in half. By the way, I actually like the Wiimote. I own Move too. Im actually onboard these "motion gimmicks". So yeah, I dont know what to think of it either. Except that the WiiU isnt being bought anywhere near launch day by me. Id also like to say that to me they havent really represented gaming as a whole since the SNES. The Playstation 1 was when I truly become a gamer, when I realized that it was one of my passions in life. While people were playing Mario 64 I was playing MGS, something I had truly never seen before in my life or even imagined. Mario in 3D? Not that big of a stretch to me. Though even with Galaxy 1 and 2(which are awesome), i dont think Mario has ever been as great since his 2D platforming days. Nintendo pushes a lot of neat innovative things and other people copy them, but I doubt theyre the future of this medium.
  11. Finished reading the plot of AC. Sounds like a lot of fun and way better than AA.

  12. Damn, I think i still have an extra cerberus network code. I wish I wasnt so lazy so I could sell it online. Anyways, ive been playing SMB3 on my PSPGo. Feels good, man.
  13. Todays the last day to get Uncharted 3 for 48 dollars at Newegg. Check yoself, bitches.
  14. Maybe I didnt notice because I was trolling myself at the time, but there are a ton of trolls with stars on there now. Shit, we got some here. I guess you just watch your mouth enough to troll, but not enough to get unstarred or banned. Well, thats how I rolled anyways.
  15. I bit the brokeass bullet and preordered it for 47.99(no tax and free shipping) from New Egg. Its the best price ive found for it.
  16. That guy getting unstarred cracked me up for some reason. I don't know why.
  17. I think itd be easier to post which movies i SHOULD watch, but havent. Its just easier. Ive never seen any of the Alien movies. None of the Indiana Jones movies, none of the Die Hard movies, none of the James Bond Movies, none of the Bourne movies, and I also havent seen Blade Runner or Apocalypse Now. Or Deliverance. I also have never really cared for horror, so ive seen few of those outside of one of each of the big franchises. I dont do horror sequels.
  18. AA was awesome, but I feel like I can easily wait on AC to come down in price. I like AA a lot, but it still had some pretty big flaws(thankfully the positives outweighed the negatives) to me and I have no idea if they fixed them or not, so Ill wait to see what the consensus is.
  19. Like i said, his tastes kind of suck. Then again, Kinect was still filling people's brains and hearts with all sorts of magic and wonder over the possibilities of that "revolutionary" tech. He fell for it like everyone else at the time. I doubt he would say that now.
  20. Uncharted 3, MGS HD Collection, or UMvC3? Fuck, I hate being unemployed.

      It is also retailing for 40 dollars. Also, did I mention Phoenix Wright + Maya?

       

      Because Phoenix Wright.

      If you're on a tight budget, it seems like multiplayer should be the way to go. The strongest multiplayer offering is probaly UMvC3 (since that's basically the whole game) so I suggest that. The budget price should also help you :)

      Frosted, you forgot to mention Phoenix w

      Wright. That's okay, though, I got you covered.

       

      Just be sure to make his voice Japanese as soon as possible. Ben Judd this VA is not.

  21. I dont think Crecente was as bad as people said he was. He could be petty at times, but it seemed he was only that way towards members who would constantly attack him on his own site. In my opinion his biggest flaw is how mainstream his tastes in games are. I guess as the head honcho of the site he has to play the big AAA titles himself, so all his opinions always involve CoD and Gears of War and shit like that while the other writers would talk a lot about the smaller games, which guys like us really appreciate.
  22. http://kotaku.com/5849974/goodbye-kotaku-and-thanks-for-everything Well, Mcwhertor is gone. That kind of sucks for them, I think he was one of the better guys there.
  23. I have the TR Trilogy on PS3, theyre pretty good. I havent finished any of them though. Handing me three games at once just fucks my shit up and makes want to try them all but not finish any of them. I still havent even played my Sly Cooper collection.
  24. Yup. You can get gta Chinatown wars and final fantasy 4 and final fantasy tactics on the iphone. Not to mention the new gta3 remake. Those are all pretty story heavy.
  25. The ds has sold about 150000. I love my psp, but its not even close.
