Rolled, I finally officially have RB3. Now sign on more often, you motherfucker.

Edit: Oh, and it's probably worth mentioning that I'm playing RB3 on my Chiaki4211 account. This game is kind of a bitch though. I'm still trying to get the calibration just right. I don't think I ever needed to do that with Guitar Hero.

Edit2: I was THIIIS fucking close to just saying "Fuck this game" and giving up. I finally got the calibration to acceptable levels though.

I've gotten so...so...bad at this guitar shit. Also, my arm is not what it used to be. I can only make it through maybe six songs before my arm's shot for the day. But that's because I fucking suck at up/down strumming unless it's at shredding speed.

I just got DJ Hero 2 cheap and I'm surprised how good it is. I really want to buy Rock Band 2 + 3 as well but I can't find a good (and cheap) guitar. :(

My brother picked up L.A. Noire and Nier today.
I haven't even started on Red Dead Redemption...

Looking forward to playing Nier at some point in the next...year.

Yeah, I'll probably be picking up Nier and RDR at some point this summer as well. Lately I've been spending all my time with Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World though. It's not as good as the original, but it's good enough. It's also a bit harder than the original ever was. Some of the most random enemies are able to drain my health in less than 2 seconds sometimes. It kinda sucks that there's only two actual party members, and one of them suuuuucks.

I've only heard absolutely terrible things about Dawn of the New World.

Also wow, about time there's a quick reply. Or maybe it's always been there and it's the first time I've misclicked.

I never really had trouble with getting killed by enemies like that, however one of the late bosses did that. Also, I played with my brother so I was stuck as Marta, I don't find her too bad though, and her Mystic Arte is great for random enemies.

Quick Reply has been around for several months, but not always.

atm I think I'm only looking forward to getting Disgaea 4. But I have 2 games in progress and 4 I haven't even opened, and that's on the PS3 alone. So many games, so little time.

Yeah, it's not my favorite by any means, and I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush out and buy it, but it's a decent enough fix for someone who hasn't played a Tales game in ages like me. The game gets a lot better the more you play it, cause you start out with shit moves and stuff. The good thing is that this game isn't nearly as long as the first one, so I should be able to get through it soon enough so I can start the real run with 10x EXP and all that GRADE stuff.

I died in my very first non-tutorial battle. The bats in the cave could somehow kill me almost instantly. It took me a while to realize that I should get surrounded by enemies, which would always drain my health fast, and that I should just play Semi-Auto instead of Manual because I can't block/dodge for shit in this game. I could in ToS, but not here. Once I realized that juggling was pretty much the easiest way to not get hit, I stopped getting hurt so much. Also, I forgot about Quests until chapter 4, so I wasn't getting a lot of EXP.

Actually, now there's a rumor going around that it might be $14.99, which sounds incredibly cheap so I'm a bit weary still.

Between this and the apparent breaking of the promise to get the store back up at the end of the month (And saying literally nothing in the way of updates), Yeah, I'd say the Playstation brand is in serious danger now.

They hacked a single website? Holy shit, yeah, these guys mean serious business. The entire fabric of Sony's network will be unraveled with the hacking of a few of their websites. Unless these guys permanently take down the PSN or something, they won't even bruise Sony's wallet.

Also, I wouldn't have expected the PSN to be turned back on until a Friday or Tuesday, so unless it doesn't get turned on by 7pm on 5/31, then they haven't broken their promise in my book. But even if they DO delay it again, it shouldn't be any surprise at all if you've been paying attention during the past month. I do wish they would've given some updates about when we should expect the store back though. I hate being told on the deadline date that shit's been delayed.

I'm not talking about those guys at all. I'm talking about the people who hacked that Japanese Sony site and are planning on doing another "Sony operation". I really don't think those guys are the same ones who fucked with the PSN, and as such, they aren't a big concern. The PSN attack was somewhat damaging to profits and reputation, but in a few months the internet will move on and these profits/reputations will return to the status quo.

Anyway, just finished up (my first playthrough of) Symphonia 2. Such a convoluted story. I can definitely see how this was a low-budget game, but whatever, man. It still feels awesome to beat some tough fight.

Someone questioned Super Stardust HD earlier. One of the first PSN games i bought, pretty kickass. Can only really enjoy it with a really large tv, 32" for example feels way too cramped. It is very pretty and the coop is cool, tho it gets a little annoying ala old school side scroller coop. Anyway, it's certainly recommendable. I already have Wipeout HD and LBP as well, so infamous and dead nation for me. All these 5 games are apparently really good so you can't go wrong with whatever you pick.

I had a bunch of error messages at first, but then I figured out how to get around them. I'm not gonna fault Sony for millions of people trying to use the store at the same time though. Anyway, that Red Faction demo was pretty friggin' fun. I did not know that game was decent. I'll have to pick up Guerilla soon.

I checked it out as well as Dead Nation (the two I'm making a choice over). Both look pretty interesting, though for different reasons. This doesn't seem the kind of game I'd go co-op for, but Dead Nation looks a bit like a run and gun/roguelike combination, which I would actually play with a friend.

Also, 32" TV.

I'd consider getting a bigger TV if I had room for one, but I don't.

Yeah, I just screwed myself out of a free game since this shit isn't working right. I getting the first free game, but it wouldn't let me, so I eventually backed out back to the Welcome Back page and the first free game disappeared without letting me download anything. Luckily, I have a second account, so it doesn't matter. That also means I can probably get all three of the games I don't have if I just wait until this stuff starts working.

I don't think it's really that hard.

I'm just bad right now.

Then again, I did buy Wizardry the other day, so paying for bullshit hard games is right up my alley. It's quite exhilarating when your frontliner meatshield gets hit for over 3 times their health from an enemies' normal attack. Not to mention all the instant kills being thrown around.

By the by, MGS HD collection oh shit. If only because I can transfer my already pwning psp save to the ps3 version and have some decent online support.

Speaking of all these HD remasters, MHP3rd better have decent online matchmaking and right analog stick that isn't swinging shit and I will be satisfied.

It just takes a bit of practice, man. Just remember to use your boost when you get in a tight spot.

I feel super good right now because I finally owned the shit out of DawnII's score. Ridiculous that I spent 1:11:36 just getting it. I can't even fathom playing this game for that long in one sitting, but apparently it happened.

New Insomniac IP, Overstrike. Looks fucking awesome. Also, Ival's in that game, apparently, and he's already my favorite character.

Also, Resistance 3 and Dead Island are coming out on the same day, and that's stupid. I'll either have to postpone the purchase of Dead Island or buy both on the same day.

Yeah, you were one of the only bearable characters in FFXIII.

Anyway, I did Super Stardust again. I played Easy cause I thought I'd see what the difference was, and I ended up playing the whole thing and getting 66 million. I probably didn't need to be on Easy anyway, but whatever. Also, why is it that I can last forever without getting hit while I have a shield, but once I lose it I get hit fifty times in a row?

Probably don't play well under pressure. When you lose that shield and then eventually a ship, it's like the beginning of the end. You get sloppy, you make mistakes. You forget to boost, you see death coming but you get slow on your bomb trigger.

It's all in your head, man.

Also it might have something to do the time you spent dead is time spent not shooting, therefore rocks hit each other and spread into a billion tinier rocks which become near impossible to dodge (especially when it loops around to Hard mode)

Yeah, I'm still pretty bad at boosting/bombing. I went for that 20 bomb trophy, then continued to stock up bombs for no reason. So I had almost 20 bombs when I beat the last level. And I'm afraid to boost usually cause I don't know where I'll end up. But in any case, I'm pretty much done and satisfied now.

You have to play on normal, you puss.

Also, you're invincible while boosting, so I usually just dash a good bit ahead and u-turn back at the end. I dunno, it gets easier to sense when to use it as you use it.

Grabbed that and did the first level on gr1m difficulty with a friend. That game's somewhat unforgiving for someone who is not very good at videogames, though I'll probably be able to get by. If you want to run co-op I'd be down for that.

I just spent 40 minutes fighting that one super secret super badass hidden side boss in Persona 4 (not the reaper, the good one) and now I feel like a boss.

btw inFamous is a fairly decent third person shooter. Strictly speaking money-wise, you're best off going for inFamous ($30) and buying Super Stardust HD ($15) if you're that torn

I finished my Good playthrough of inFamous 2 today. This game pretty much has most of the problems that the old one had, then also got rid of some of the good things from the first one to make the second game a little worse. There are some nice things that they added, like Ice Launch (!), but overall it kinda felt like a giant DLC pack that gave me new powers, a new location, and extra bullshit.

I might end up getting it anyway because dicking around in that game is a lot more fun than in inFamous. But I probably won't be getting another inFamous game if they make one.

Dead Nation is rather fun, I must say

Yeah, I've only played the first level so far because I wanna wait for my friend to get back and do an unspoiled playthrough in co-op. But that first level was pretty fun.

Anybody mind using their shiny playstation plus account to download a copy of sonic 2 (it's free for PSPlus) and boost me the multiplayer trophy? It feels like a sin for me to not have 100% in this game. Should only take like half an hour tops, I think.

Sure thing, bud. Oh wait, that means I'd have to activate Chiaki's PS+ thing. I was gonna wait for Seibei's subscription to almost expire, then activate Chiaki's and keep it on for another month. It probably wouldn't kill me to just activate it tomorrow though. I wanna try some more game trials anyway. (Nevermind, I am stupid. That only applies to game trials.)

So anyway, I've been playing Red Faction: Guerrilla lately. Man, that game is balls if you actually do the story missions and stuff, but destroying shit is fuuuun every single time (once the area's liberated, that is). Also, oh my God, I was driving my car around, then it suddenly turned into Christine or something and started wildly accelerating all by itself and wouldn't brake. So I bailed out of the car and it kept going for a while until it got stuck on a rail or something. So I had to kill it with a rocket launcher so it wouldn't get free and start killing everybody.

Was that Christine thing a Stephen King reference because you lost me halfway through

Well, it was, yeah. I'm just saying the car suddenly had a mind of its own and it had some major bloodlust. It's for situations like these that make me think every open-world game should be required to have a video capture feature like in Just Cause 2.

So awp and/or Rolled, not to troll or anything, but are there any fun songs on the Rock Band 3 disc? I've probably played maybe 20 of the songs or so and I haven't come across a song that's made me want to go back and play it in Quick Play. It's mostly been either repetitive stuff, power chord crap, or solo stream stuff. Are there any Reptilia/My Name Is Jonas/Helicopter songs on there? Like Whip It was pretty fun, just really repetitive. Space Oddity wasn't bad either.

There's Bohemian Rhapsody. I kinda dig the sound of The Beautiful People, but it is not a fun song to play. Whip It's on my shitlist; it's a horrible song for drums. There's a song by Elton John that caught me by surprise by being really fun. Most of the songs on the RB3 disc are passable but lacklustre. All the real good shit's in the DLC.

Oh, yeah, well I was talking specifically about Guitar, because I don't even do Drums anyway. So when do you wanna boost the Sonic stuff anyway? I've had it installed and I've just been waiting for you to get on.

Whenever you and I both got time. I normally get home around this time after work. I'll start popping on PSN then.

Also good that you got it when you did, apparently it's not free on PSNP as of like, yesterday?

btw the rest of the trophies for that game are very easy to get. If you're awesome at the game, it'll take maybe 2 hours. Otherwise, 3 or 4 hours

Wow. I can't believe it, but Nier is a pretty cool game. Way more fun than I thought it'd be.

The best thing about it is how it keeps changing up the style. Just got up to the Forest of Myth and I did not see it coming.
Also rolling backwards to get everywhere is far more entertaining than it should be.

The biggest surprise I've had so far is just how fucking hilarious this game is. "This stew smells like I pissed on a campfire." And Grimwoire Weiss is always make awesome jokes. I didn't know RPGs were allowed to be this funny. I wish I could read the comments that appear on your profile while you're playing the game though. Those are pretty great, too.

Yeah pretty sure the Disgaea series has the Funniest RPG crown

because it likes to TAKE A DUMP ON THE FACE OF COMMON SENSE

that's Disgaea 4!

(honourable mention to Shadow Hearts Covenant though)

They're srpgs though; those don't count at all.

I could allow ZHP, though.

ZHP is a dungeon crawler. I'd say SRPGs are closer than Dungeon crawlers, myself. Granted, they're all in the same boat. Turn-based, not turn-based, whatever. Party size 1, party size 10, whatever. Movement field, no movement field, whatever. The more distinctions you make the harder it is to draw the line, until we can no longer say for sure whether or not Grandia falls into the SRPG bucket because it has AOEs and movement and the like.

I just spent, like, 70 out of the last 120 hours playing Nier, but I finally got that damn Plat. All for the sake of getting my $16 back by beating it within a week. I think I'm clinically insane.

Shadows of the Damned is pretty fucking awesome, guys. Like it really, really is. The weapons are pretty sweet and each one has its uses. Like, you don't just go through the game using just one gun. I find myself switching it up pretty frequently. And the bosses are those "expose the weakpoint" type bosses like in Zelda, and I love that. There's even a few 2D shooter sections for literally no reason. Like the characters mention it, but they don't question it.

Anyway, that being said, don't spend $60 on it. You can beat this game in a day, two days tops. There is no New Game+. There is no Chapter Select. It still beats inFamous 2 though.

I know, my friend and I blasted through three of the missions today, there's just something about it that feels blindly fun, like you don't know why it's fun, it just is, and it's a blast.

There's also a very satisfying sound whenever you send a charged rifle shot through a horde of zombies.

splish splish splish splish

have fun with the last level. It's nothing but open spaces and very large hordes of zombies. Shocker 4 lyfe

one of the levels, like 7 or 8 or something (before the highway) pulls some real bullshit on you and you have to zerg rush like 5 Mouths that are behind destructable walls. That should be a cakewalk with multiplayer but it's a dick move in SP.

Well, you don't have to post your game list or even your PSN ID. It's just, you know, if you want to. Although it's always interesting to see what games other people have.

Anyway, so I was totally gonna get Eternal Sonata, but now that I actually wanna get it, my Gamestop stopped having it. So I got stuck with Red Dead Redemption, which, by the way, hasn't been as good as I was expecting so far.
