Yes, 32" HDTV. I'll be fine.

Disgaea 3 has that problem, too. Not really an HD game in its own right, but the fonts and icons are all HD so on a SD they're blurry and in some cases impossible to read. On a 27" SD no less. (or around there)

Spotted the elusive 35 dollar Force Unleashed but I haven't gotten it yet since I have a barrage of other games to play, from PS1 to PS3 titles

Different card from the Sony site. They give you a <a href= code though. Had to copy/paste some stuff around.




Kinda ugly, but you can use that place to compare trophies if you're not on your PS3 and it's easier to update your damn card than the PS3trophycard site.

Hey awp, wait for this thing to come out.

Has all the DLC on it and the trophy list has a bunch of DLC trophies on it, too. Also, there's an exclusive add-on thingy on the disc anyway.

Edit: Oh shit, awp. I just read that Arkham Asylum is selling for $40 in Canada? If that's true, you should get on that.

40 dollars is a good price, especially for a launch price. The game seemed alright based on the demo, but it's not something I can't wait for. And I think I'm going to have to.

Also lol the Disgaea DLC is available as one big package now, $45 I think. There's a lot of DLC for that game, but 45 seems like you might save at best 5 dollars if you don't download everything separately, so it's kind of a ripoff?

Yeah, I saw that Disgaea bundle thing. Nearly shat a brick when I saw that price tag.

I'm probably gonna be trading in Prototype/inFamous tomorrow for Arkham. Maybe Mirror's Edge, too, but that's probably overkill.

I keep all my games <3 though I don't ever see myself playing GHWT ever again, and I now have two copies of RB2, but since one's sealed, I might be so lucky as to trade it in for a 35 dollar game like The Force Unleashed

Wait...
Batman has a grappling hook right?

more like Bat hook

watched original batman movie tonight llllllllllol

Well I guess since I'm here my PSN is "rust45". Add me if you want, not like I play online very often. Most of the time I play PS2 games that I didn't get to play since I never had a PS2 game. But when I do play online games it's mostly Resistance 2 cooperative.

Well that's pretty much all that matters, right? I love R2 co-op.

They have the Joker Challenge Map in the PS Store already, so I've got that pre-emptively downloaded for Tuesday.

can someone rig a two-match tug of war in Rock Band where I lose the first round and win the second?

And then with a full band 8x multiplier and 90 second overdrive plz~

Got Arkham! Midnight launch. VERY underwhelming. Like, hardly anyone went. Oh well~ Fun times.

Well, Arkham Asylum's pretty damn good, but uh...I dunno. I don't remember if Uncharted is something you'd like or if you've played it before yet, cause that's still a pretty good game. Yeah, I dunno.

Gotcha; will do the back and forth whenever I see you around.

Got Uncharted for -$5 (traded in my old GH1, 2 and 3 for PS2 and had enough scratch to get Uncharted from it, with 5 dollars surplus =D)

Uncharted is finally a Greatest Hits, though I got a non-greatest-hits edition. Yay.

Arkham Asylum is soooo sweet. And yay, Uncharted! That's a good game. Oh, and the Force Unleashed patch is supposedly out. I've been too scared to try it though. I'll do it later.

Edit: Ghostbusters patch came out, too, but screw that.

I played it. I really wanted to like that game. It looked promising. I played the demo and that was so disappointing. I'll just wait for Katamari Forever. That will be a far superior $50 game with only an extra week wait.

D3 DLC and patch released here finally.
I'm not sure if we get trophies though...

Finally got the bloody Ghostbusters Platinum. Now it's time to never play that game again.

I just rented inFamous (Sure call me slow if you must) and I have to say it's really addicting, in one sitting I'm almost to the end of the Neon District.

Fighting Greene in Prototype, its hard to damage here, been playing for 30 minutes then got bored. I got Batman the other day, doubt I'll continue Prototype any time soon.

Freakin' hate that boss in Hard mode. I got to the very last round and died once. That pissed me off major. You should try going up to the...eastern (?) skyscraper, then jumping off and doing an air groundspike devastator right into her. Pretty nice damage and it's easy to repeat if you deal with the Hunters to get your health back.

Whipfist.

Lock onto one of the sentinels and charge. When you're almost within range, do a mid-high jump to either side of the boss and charge the Triangle ranged attack, and then evade. If you've got the HP, do an Air Painspike or whatever it's called; the single-target tentacle rape attack. You hover in the air when using it, so attack with the same method as above.

The boss is actually really easy when using this strategy. It just takes like, 15 to 20 minutes.

EDIT: actually, you're probably in your best interest to use this strategy for basically EVERY boss battle.



In other news, fuck GTA4. I shot one of the pigeons while doing the final mission, and there's a bug in the game where that pigeon won't count to your total if certain conditions are met, which I met, so I was locked at 199/200 pigeons. Lucky me, I had a save file from just before the Deal/Revenge point, so I've gotten all 200 pigeons in my other file, but fuck GTA4. That's 15+ hours of gametime down the hole, at least 12 were pigeon hours. (I've been to every pigeon location at least 4 times within the last week. That's 800 spots.)

I did the pigeons/stunt jumps as early as I could. Sometimes the stunt jumps are worse than the pigeons. I remember trying to do the pigeons without cheating for a while. Yeaaah, fuck that waste of time. The only thing worse than 200 pigeons is the AWP trophy.

I did the pigeons without cheating. What cheat helps? It's just, taxiporting around town =|

Wanted Down. I could wait for the cops to leave (presumably), shoot the pigeon, find out a cop actually was there, run away, find my place again, and continue, OOOOOR I could shoot the bird, shoot the cop, shoot your mom, shoot the mailman, then Wanted Down and spawn a Comet to take me to my next pigeon.

Oh, since firing a gun only merits a 1-star wanted level (still, annoying) for any pigeons that aren't in a cluster, I found it easy enough to just pretend the cops weren't there. Only annoying part of the wanted level is no taxi rides.

Got a handful of achievements last night, including the 6-star, Rolled Over, and Stunt Jumps. 6 star wanted level achievement is so fucking easy to get. Hooray for pedophilia.

Yeah, One Man Army was pretty easy to get. I got that one on accident while doing the stunt jumps. I tried to do one on the Algonquin bridge before I was allowed to go there and got an instant 6 star while landing in a perfect spot that they couldn't reach me in at the same time. Walk Free was easy, too. NRG on the train tracks. Why don't you have Retail Therapy or Dial B For Bomb yet?

I acquired the friend req percentage for LJ (60% I believe, I got to 68%) but never received the achievement/ability. I've not been bothering with boosting friends yet, been getting the others. I'm basically tackling the achievements through a top-down approach from here on out, so I'll probably have all the offline achievements by tomorrow.

Just remember that you gotta do basically every activity with every friend to get 100%. There's a specific list somewhere since you don't reeeally have to do all of them with everyone, but that was the last thing I had to do to get 100%. And I thought abilities unlocked after 70% or something. Changes for every person, I think. Whatever, you gotta get to 90% eventually anyway.

Edit: PS: Katamari Forever demo is up.

Cool, TMNT4 is out on PSN now. Not really sure if I'll end up buying it though, since it seems inferior to the SNES version (albeit mildly inferior)

I managed to get a score of 100 in the Playtime stage (B/S) on my third or fourth try

man that is fun

I'd really like to get the game when it comes out but I'm unemployed and stingy

I think I got a B/S on my second time or something, but I think my score was 93? I've only gotten up to 51 on the desert level though. There's gotta be something I'm missing there.

Hi~ I finally got a new monitor to play my PS3 on now!!

I KNEW there was a higher area! You can Prince Jump, right? Cause that never worked for me.

Using the sixaxis to jump kinda sucks. Press R2.

Shit, I didn't even know you could do that. I'm sorta trying to save my truly good run for the real game.

One thing I'm not looking forward to is motherfucking Cowbear.

I didn't have the midair devastator, nor the sword air down swing, I consumed hunters to critical mass and used ground devastator and tried not to get interrupted, but it got easier when tanks and copters showed up.
Had a little hard time with the final boss, but it got easier after I threw copters at him.

Copters is, like, the ONLY way to deal with that boss. I felt really bullshitted when I got him aaaall the way to almost no health, but I couldn't find anything to throw at him and time ran out and I had to do it aaaaall over again. That boss really sucks.

Copters SUCK for final boss since he spams undodgeables

Normal mode: Use the blade + dashing 3-hit combo (triangle button I believe)
Hard mode: whipfist spam + grab combo

I meant throwing the copters. Really fast health loss, really easy to hit with. I think I just used Missile Launchers until the countdown started, then nothing but copter throws. I never really liked the Triangle attack with the Whipfist.

Edit: Oh, and I finally got 100 points on both of the Katamari levels. I wonder how I'm supposed to get an S on the playroom level. The biggest I've gotten it is 35.5, though I bet I can get it bigger, but I dunno how I'm supposed to get it S size. Prince Hop kinda sucks.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

I used Double Mass stuff. That became my favorite power for bosses. Fully charged Double Mass throws.

100% in GTA4. Now just need all the multis, there.

You must not have synced that yet. We can help each other with the MP trophies. I need to do a fuckton of races still, so we'd have to take turns winning those. Most of the races I need to do, though, won't help you get Top of the Midnight Club. GTA Races don't count. Free Race and Cannonball Run suck and take forever. I haven't done any team games yet and those should be pretty easy. Fly the Co-op will take skill and eventually a 3rd person for 2 of them.

A third person? Oh, man, that's brutal. Maybe we can rope Rolled or foulcoon (if he ever gets it) into it.

I know a guy who isn't too bad. Maybe he can help us since me and him need a 3rd person anyway. He's the guy who's been helping me with AWP so far. But yeah, we can do Deal Breaker with 2, but the other two need another guy. The time limits are just so bullshit.

This Wednesday to Friday my folks're out so I have basically no obligations/commitments during this time (apart from getting that RB2 Plat with Rolled, hihi) so that would be a good time to do it for me

Thursday/Friday is good. I just need to review the strategies for beating each level again. It's gonna be pretty bullshit hard. Should be smooth sailing to the Plat once it's done though.

In other news, I'm waiting for this damn Uncharted 2 beta to go live in the US. Apparantly it's up in Europe already, which is lame. Edit: Oh, looky there. It's up now. Just hope it downloads before I go to school. Actually, probably not. Damn. At least I have something for when I get back.

And some guy in my friends list got the Force Unleashed Plat rather quickly, so maybe I should start working on that soon. Or not. I dunno. I'll be too busy with Katamari Forever next week.

Got Katamari Forever a couple days ago but haven't played it.

I think the MAG public beta starts on the 12th. Doesn't seem right for PS3 since that's a Monday, but maybe.

BRUTAL LEGEND IS THE TITS, after UNCHARTED 2, I'm getting that

game was much better than i expected
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh JACK BLACK ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So the MAG beta was, as expected, not released today. I'll see if it comes out on Thrusday, but I doubt it.

Anyway, Brutal Legend was way less than what I expected. If I could just buy the cut scenes, I would do that instead of playing the game. That's really what it's all about. I thought the combat would be a little more refined than it is and the car driving is just...I dunno. The thing I probably don't like the most is the RTS-style stuff in the game, but I just don't like RTS games. I guess Psychonauts was too good to follow-up. Brutal Legend is seriously hilarious though. I'll get it eventually.

Well, Tim Schafer always intended it to be more of a heavy metal pikmin.

It does a lot of things and none of them particularly well, except humor.

Anyway, gonna get Uncharted 2 in a little bit at the midnight launch.

Edit: Boom!

Been awhile ~ but anyway..

I WANT UNCHARTED II! I can't wait until it releases in NZ!!! >////<

BTW - an update. I have a new PSN ~ just to make it easier for some others that know me. So I'm now on as Repliica ~ feel free to add because I'm on a lot more now x3

Picked up Borderlands today, which was probably stupid. Haven't played it yet, but it'll probably be cool. Gonna pick up Ratchet on Tuesday.

Uncharted 2 is rather pretty looking and is apparently a very good game (My brother seems to be enjoying it quite a bit and speaks highly of it. If I wanted to I could probably blaze through Uncharted 1 and 2 in the next 11 days but I think I'll just pace myself with LBP while I have access to it.

Uncharted 2 is a great game in many ways. Not only is the gameplay fun but it's also visually beautiful in many ways. I finished the game about 2days ago and loved it. I found a lot of strengths in the game and recommend it to anybody.

For those who happen to pick up Uncharted 2 and wana play online I'm usually there now =3 only a level 14 though (somebody just quit a co-op game and I lost all those points.. damn them!)

But back to the game, you'll enjoy it. I was told "It's like watching/playing through a movie" and you don't really believe that until you actually play through it. Plus there are huge explosions and so many epic moments in the game that you're just bound to love it! This sequel was wonderful and once it finished all I could say was "When is Uncharted 3 coming out!?"

But yes, I recommend the game to you all, you're bound to enjoy it!

The driving in Borderlands sucks so hardcore. I don't know why they had to mess with success aka steering with the fucking left stick/X to accelerate. Left stick up/down accelerates/reverses and you have to steer with the right stick 100%. Left/right on the left stick doesn't help at all. It's just so counter intuitive and clumsy. Guh.

Other than that, though, it's pretty fun.

My brother just bought Borderlands and Condemned 2 so I guess I'll try out Borderlands sometime soon.
Oh and he bought Valkyria Chronicles about a week ago but I haven't played it yet.

I've been so unpredictably addicted to it. I thought it was just gonna be like a "I'll play it when I have the time" kind of deal, but jeez, I get so into it. I haven't even touched co-op yet. I've gotten over my driving control woes. This driving scheme lets you do ridiculously sharp U-turns when you slow down. And I like how running something over does waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more damage than simply blowing it up with your ROCKET LAUNCHER TURRET.

Oh, for sure. Can't wait to get that one. I'm a little disappointed with the demo they put up on Thursday. Who the hell wanted a damn Clank demo? Jeez. There's supposed to be a Ratchet demo, too, but by then I'll HAVE THE GAME, so whoopty doo.

By the way, if you did a vowel switch with your name, it'd totally be the name of the villain in Uncharted 2.

I didn't like Morrowind or Oblivion but I loved FO3. Though, I'd recommend getting it for the PC, since it's an FPS (unless you have a Dual-Analog fetish or something) plus mods add more to the game than a console version would ever allow, expansion packs or not.

It's not so much a dual-analog fetish as me having a laptop on a bed and thus a thumb pad for a mouse. Tablets aren't all that FPS friendly, though I guess with half a brain I could just use it as a moue pad or, like... dig out the mouse that came with it. I tend to prefer console because on the computer I have this itching desire to do this horrible thing called "being productive." Which, you know, I'm totally doing. Right now. By... meandering... forums...

Ha ha ha fail.

Oh, hell, I'm just trying to beat the game. X___x Stuck in chapter 6, and have been in the same stupid room for a while. Can't even figure out what the game wants me to do, and too lazy to YouTube it. Usually I figure it out on my own sooner or later, but moments like this and the subway train crapshoot really mar the experience for me.

I did DL the free time trial pack, and to be honest, while it kicks my ass, I'd prefer the whole game have been like that. It focuses on the part I like, where when I die it's my fault and not some random 50/50 chance of one guy landing a headshot in a freak occurrence one can't even replicate on purpose.

Of course, it could be easier if I ever tried to take their guns, but I got the game because of the lack of emphasis on shooting in the first palce. I'm not too able with FPS games because... the last one I played was Turok. The original Turok, not that remake thing nobody likes. I'm not exactly modern, and I wasn't ever good at Turok either. i poked Metroid Prime, too, but was far too good at getting lost to get anywhere much. :c

"I never said that you said it was bad." What I meant was that you don't have to defend your reasoning for owning it or anything cause it's a good game.

I've been diggin' LBP and would enjoy having folks to play with, but unless my brother lets me borrow his copy Sackboy awp is a very limited time offer

Borderlands is nice but fighting a boss in an enclosed space with a sniper rifle is no fun...
Also everyone can see me no matter where I am it seems so I probably should have chosen the siren.

Yeah, that's why shotguns are my secondary weapons. Sometimes Combat Rifles. I'm guessing you chose Mordecai, too. I have no regrets with him. He's awesome. If people spot me, that's their mistake. I hate those damn Psychos though. If they reach you, your shield and 97% of your health is gone, basically. I've made it to Dahl Headland and they threw in a bunch of vehicular combat that I don't care for. I wonder how this game is in co-op...

Beat Demon's Souls last week. That's one hard game. I used a Wanderer with light swords last game, can survive few hits from high damaging enemies, but the magician I made dies in one hit even when defending (against dual wielding skeleton).

I will try Borderlands on PC, if I like it I might buy the PS3 copy for multiplayer.

Having said that, I've actually not played any of the Ratchet and Clank games but I might start considering tools of destruction and/or future is like 20 dollars new.

That's actually one element of being fan service-y. Not taking risks, sticking to the formula because that's what the fans like. The other has something to do with...well, damn it, I forget. It had something to do with the storyline of the game, I think. But I forget now. It's the last installment, right?

Last installment of the Future trilogy. I was thinking maybe Dr. Nefarious being the villain again might be fan service-y, cause I bet he's the most popular villain so far. I mean, he IS pretty awesome, but then again, Up Your Arsenal WAS an awesome game. But I dunno. They did a lot different. The space sections are totally different, there are less worlds and it's less combat-based, more story-based, there's the time puzzle thing, and the hoverboots let you actually turn in this game. Besides, after 5 games, there's not much else you can improve, so they just have to changes the basic elements each time. But anyway, this still isn't even close to my favorite one.

Give me a game with 20+ hours of storyline and good replay/online value. I have a phat paycheck.

Considering:
L4D2
COD (4? MF2? Never even played the series, just want something to fill the halo void I was given after leaving XB)
GH5? lols
MAG? When's that shit out

Dunno

Borderlands? Uncharted 2? Uh... 20 hours is asking a lot of a current gen game. Uncharted 2 isn't 20 hours, but it's got some replay and good online. Borderlands probably has 20 hours with just one playthrough, but you can do it 4 times with the different characters and it's got co-op and it's a shooter with RPG stuff, etc. That's not as fast paced as Modern Warfare will probably be though.

I've been playing A Crack a Time but I needed a recap of the story from my bother cause I've only played a little bit of the first game, but I have to say it's a bunch of fun, I got the Spiral of Death at the battleplex and I got it to V5 by the time I was finished with the next planet. I'm thinking of after I beat Crack in Time to go play the others games.

The only thing I hate about the Spiral of Death (Spiral of Carnage, to be exact) is that you have to wait for aaall of the blades to fully come back before being able to shoot it again and sometimes a blade just takes its sweet time getting back.

I got the RYNO V. I am disappointed. That thing doesn't aim because I guess they thought it didn't need to, but that makes it a bit of a pain to use in most situations it actually feels warranted.

I was happy to finally have a game in the Future series that sported an ending that didn't make me want to punch some writers in the face. Other than that, Iunno, the game feels way too brief, and for my last trophy I need to beat it a third freakinng time (should really have just STARTED on hard mode). It's a bit harder than ToD was until you start getting some decent weapons, but once you get the negotiator things feel a bit too simple. The weapon variety seems a lot slimmer (though being able to level what was formerly gadgets is nice), and a bit redundant (magnet and cryo-mines do the same thing, buzz blades and constructo gun are both mainly standby guns).

All in all, ToD is the best part of the PS3 lineup with R&C, imo. This one just felt way too easy, even on challenge mode, and the game was short with a predictable outcome. .-.

In other news, I finally picked up Bioshock.
