Console contacts

Akubarix — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:39:52 GMT

As most of us have figured out, we have consoles. Consoles that allow you, the reader to play games online with friends, foes and tools who are indeed tools for "teh lolz". So I figured I'd make/start/puppies a thread that could allow us to play online together via adding gamertags,playstation network names and all of the damn Wii codes under the sun. I'll start =p Xbox Live Gamer Tag: Akubarix Playstation Network Screen Name: Xirabuka Wii Friend Code: 2522 2094 9179 9738 Brawl ...

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

Shine — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:09:47 GMT

So, I picked this up on DS this morning at about 10:40AM.

So far, it seems very much like a... Sidequest driven game. But it's not super-easy or anything like that. I'm playing it on Standard mode right now (of course) with the Type B config.

Anyone else picked it up yet?

graphics

Sagehawk — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:57:40 GMT

wow, I cant believe how you dont notice how shitty graphics are until 2 more generations of game counsels come out. I just played a ps1 game and my eyes hurt from the horrible visuals.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Malachi — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:28:06 GMT

So there is yet another Expansion coming out for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm which will change Azeroth forever! So I am really mad at Blizzard for announcing this without a date or even a goal to release. They say they have everything they want to put in, but haven't ran any betas. This game is introducing two new races: Worgen for Alliance and Goblins for the horde. Goblins, of course since they are favored by Blizzard for beinig Horde, get almost twice the amount of Racials as Worgens ...

Odin Sphere

Klonoa

Zenith — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:20:05 GMT

I recently got the Wiimake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, and it was ridiculously awesome. So I also got the sequel, Lunatea's Veil, and it was even better. Next are the GBA games, but I'll have to get them online because they're a pain to find .-. I have to say, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite series (even if America didn't get three of the titles... Beach Volleyball, Moonlight Museum, and Klonoa Heroes {released over a year before Sonic Heroes .-.}) Anyone else have ...

Favorite Non-Pokemon Series

Sasami — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 06:24:01 GMT

What game series does everyone here play besides Pokemon? I'm a big fan of the Fire Emblem series <3. I also love Golden Sun, Final Fantasy (especially Tactics), Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, Legend of Stafy (I'll never call it "Starfi", neeeveeer), Banjo and Kazooie, the old Crash Bandicoot games, Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros., Soul Calibur, Tekken, and Disgaea. I'm pretty sure those are all of the series I play consistently. I used to also play Dance Dance Revolution ...

Kingdom Hearts

Shine — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:07:23 GMT

Okay, this is starting to bother me... Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II were on Playstation2. KH: CoM was on Gameboy Advance, and later remade for the Playstation2. KH: 358/2 Days is on Nintendo DS. Now I'm hearing rumors that KH3 is gonna be on the Wii- not only that, but Wii EXCLUSIVE. Then there's a PSP title called Birth by Sleep that looks cool, but... It's on the PSP... Why can't they follow in Final Fantasy's footsteps? Pick a console, pick a handheld, and STICK ...

Guilty Gear Accent Core XX Plus

Shine — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 01:57:41 GMT

So, despite that it's been out since APRIL, Guilty Gear Accent Core XX Plus is finally in stores in America- at least, it took this long to reach Texas. Anyway, I traded in some four or five games today, and picked up a copy that I've had pre-ordered for several months now, and I have to say, despite the extra content, it's relatively the same. From what I can tell, there are no differences or changes in gameplay since GGACXX. Plus simply has a few extra modes, and a separate CD which, ...

E3 '09

Ninja — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:51:45 GMT

Don't forget about E3 this week! It's streaming live (minimal commercials) on G4 if you have it. Right now is the Microsoft Spotlight...I've never really been a big Xbox fan, but some of that stuff is pretty awesome, like last.fm, Facebook, Netflix and 1080p HD on Xbox 360. But especially Project Natal. That was AMAZING. Metal Gear going to Xbox made me lol. Final Fantasy XII is something to look forward to... Bayonetta looked sort of interesting.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament

Sasami — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:31:02 GMT

Who here would be interested in having a Brawl tournament on Shuten? Rules would be standard...neutral/counter-pick stages and no items. It would probably have to be singles, but if you guys are interested in doing teams, that's fine too (after all, I excel at team play, lol).

I'm just trying to figure out if we'd have enough people...there's no guarantee we'll actually have the tournament.

Best Buy >_>

Ninja — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 01:30:08 GMT

So, I've been visiting Best Buy every other week or so since Christmas (since I got Best Buy giftcards) looking for FFTA2 or FFIV DS, but I haven't had any success, which is overly lame -_-

They have the strategy guides for both of them, but I just can't find the games D=

Maybe I should just give up and succumb to having to order them online and pay extra for shipping >_<

Lol, this is funny.

Prostiboots — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:27:29 GMT

I like to maintain that FFIX is the underappreciated gem of the PSX FF's

So I'm bored, and looking on Metacritic, only to find FFX is not only on the top 20 PSX games, it's higher then FFVII by a full 9 spots.

ReChain Challenge

Shine — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 08:16:48 GMT

I'm runnin' through ReChain on Standard... ... Without EVER boosting my CP. The Oracle mentioned that I'm a CP whore- yeah, practically every opportunity I get, I boost my CP, cause I like having tons of deck options. So, now I'm gonna try running through the entire game with only 275 CP- every chance I get, I'll either boost my HP or get a new Sleight- but, before I get any Sleights, I'd like a list of Sleights and the levels you get them at so I can strategically get what I need... ...

ReChain Decks

ReChain Decks and Sleight combos. Post 'em here. :3 Tremor Useful Combo Stun Impact x1 (Three similar Attack cards, 20-23) Freeze x1 (Blizzard x2, Stop) Quake x1 (Gravity, Simba, Magic card) So far, I find this to be the fastest way to completely destroy the first wave in any Heartless battle. Stun Impact isn't too necessary- it's just a fail-safe in case you don't hit the enemy first and start the battle with all the Heartless stunned. Run up real quick, launch a Stun Impact, ...

Final Fantasy Tactics fun-time

Shine — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 03:10:37 GMT

Anyone ever had a really fun, effective, or just generally entertaining set on Final Fantasy Tactics?

I made a Priest with gear to boost Attack and Magic, and gave him Jump with a Spear, and it actually did really well.

I also had a Ninja with dual Rune Blades for bonus Magic and Math Skill. It raped, as does ANYTHING with Math Skill...

ReChain, kickin' it up a notch!

Shine — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 08:00:55 GMT

BAM!! So, yeah, ReChain's finally starting to really kick it up on difficulty. I'm on the second set of cards now (Atlantica, Neverland, Hollow Bastion, 100 Acre Wood [yes, 100 Acre Wood]). First off, I can say that Ursula might surprise you, especially if you're still running sixes and below. She's not as easy as she used to be, and she actually uses level 8 cards really often, so pack some Zero cards and an extra lower-leveled Cure or two to lead your Stocks, especially if you're ...

Kingdom Hearts: ReChain of Memories

Shine — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:14:15 GMT

So far, it's really nifty. I'm not even half-way through, of course, and I'm still on Sora's story (I'm trying to savor it and spread it out across a while so I dont' do Pokemon QUITE as much as usual), but it's good. It IS very easy, I can say that much. If you have a few Zeroes at the back of your deck, you'll never really have a problem with boss fights, and it's still the kind of difficulty where so long as you've got eights and nines more than anything else, you pretty much can't lose. One ...

Sonic Unleashed

Shadows — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:57:31 GMT

So this is relatively new over here, just picked it up on Wii.
I'm genuinely impressed. Graphically, it rivals SMG as best looking thing on Wii, the werehog sections seem to fit the Wii version best and the regular Sonic stages are just brilliant. There's a lot less faffing around with new things, just the moves that it makes sense for Sonic to be able to perform.

Also, they deserve some smart points for not giving Chip an annoying girl voice as they tend to do.

Also, has anyone else noticed that Resident Evil is racist? Resident Evil 4 was against Mexicans, and now Resident Evil 5 is against Africans. Also, both games look exactly the same, including the animations. Also, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles recycled Zombie models from Outbreak. Lol. Silly Capcom. Anyone ...

Anyone wanna help me with my Wolf sometime on Brawl? He's pretty pathetic. I already know a couple things I need to work on, particularly edge-guarding and using Wolf's Bair more. Oh, and I need to Grab more... And use tilts. Besides that, I'm not TERRIBLE. Just not as good as I'd like to be. Generally, I'm a C-stick whore. I like to play defensively, spot-dodging and shielding a lot until I find an opening to really bust up that C-stick. When I'm feeling frisky, I may actually go ...

PS3 v. 360

Chances are slim, but if I'm lucky, I'll be able to get either a PS3 or a 360. Now, I'm a hardcore Playstation fan. I've never been big into XBOX, but they DO have one thing I want... Fable II. It looks incredible, and I really wanna play it, but besides that, the only thing XBOX really has to offer right ...

Not only does it have an amazing battles system that's card-based (almost an oxymoron, but bear with me,) it has beautiful graphics, even for modern games, and this is a Gamecube game! Everyone who has the opportunity should play this. Seriously. Even if it is rare, try and find/play it. The Great Mizuti is also the coolest character in forever. =D I also ...

I've played Chrono Cross before, but around that time, I never really got into it, or understood it. My cousin brought it over during his visit, though... I played it, beat it, and now I'm almost done with my first New Game+, only missing a few characters, too.

It's a nifty game, people should try it.

To this day, it remains one of my all-time favorite games, and really one of my most sentimental. You follow the story of Ryu, a boy with a foggy past and mysterious abilities. From childhood to adulthood, you collect, and lose, a variety of friends and companions, ...

Final Fantasy X-2

Shine — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 07:03:58 GMT

I'm not a huge fan of this game... It's not BAD, but it's not my favorite FF- not by a long-shot. The fact that the main cast is almost entirely female doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me, is how "bubble gum" it feels... Not so much that they're females, but that they're so unbearably GIRLY. They made Rikku look absolutely dense, when really she's just sorta scattered and energetic. It's nice to see Yuna coming out of her shell, but I don't like how incredibly dynamic they made ...
