I just got back from playing Mercinares 2 on the 360. Good god that game looks atrocious. I've seriously seen better Wii games. It's not just the artstyle but the texture as well. Just look down at the grass for example. Twilight Princess looks better then this shit.

obviously developed with PS2 as leading console

Think so?

That's pretty sad. Its not even on the level of Mercs 1 on PS2.

What happened to this game? The original wasn't amazing looking, but it was very solid and the gameplay was tight. 3 years ago. They had plenty of time to make the sequel,  so WTF? Doesn't seem like they really took advantage of any console. And the PS2 version was just dumb from the start.

I mean seriously just look at the textures. Fuck Half-Life 2 looks better.

Stupid question here, but I'm picking up an iPod in the near future, and I'm deciding which one to go with.

Either a Classic or a Touch is what I'm after - but I'm wondering whether or not I'll need the extra functionality of the Touch (such as the Internet or App Store), or just stick with a Classic. Can anyone share some recommendations or stories to help me decide?

And don't suggest to buy anything that's not an iPod.

Which one haas the best sound quality?

No idea. I remember hearing that the quality on the classic hasn't been improved, but it's still decent. But I have no idea about the Touch.

EDIT: Nevermind, some sources are saying that the quality is great.

Wow, 360 defect rate was 68% and Microsoft knew about it pre-launch and still went ahead. I got to say that kinda pisses me off.

Sweet^

That's no women, do you not find it weird when they talk japanese in Russia? I hate it when people do not talk their own  language. For instance why do Russians talk English among each other, that's not right. I would like it when anime and movies would use languages that make sense in the setting. When it is in Brittain talk English, in Japan talk japanese etc.

P.S. the reason she trusts Hadji is because of the music, it will be explained later. The bloodtranfusion was explained as a condition saya had, maybe she the same conditions is wht kills the Wings. Or maybe subconsicious she knows. But yea, like I said it starts slow, but the pace should be picking up now, the Vietnam arc was brutal especially what they did to the little girl with crutches, man that was cruel.

Edit: she has no ninja moves, if she did the whole series would be over in 5 minuten instead of 50 episodes. Ninjas do not mess around, they get the job done.

Yeah it's weird. I still find it weird seeing all the americans speak in japanese too. It's easier if everyone speaks english but in an accent for me.

To be honest I dont think the subtitles are the greatest so i think I miss details about the story. For instance they kept talking about Diva and then they changed the translation to Songstress. Half the time I don't know what's going on. They blurt out random code names like Delta 67 and expect me to know what the hell they are talking about.

I didn't really care about the girl on crutches. Cared more about george when he came back from the dead, kicked some behind then was pointlessly killed again. I keep thinking that they should be doing flashbacks to victorian times, if saya was alive then and Vampire Hunter D it.

The Chiropterans, they seemed more real in the movie. In the series they are sort of turned into rent a baddie. They seem to be able to just do all these weird things on a whim and they aren't freaky enough.

Obliviooooon! What Ghost ship? Why the fuck are you guys always finding cool stuff to see and do and all I get are fucking penguins that do nothing?

You haven't seen the Ghost ship? It's one of the best areas in the game in Endless Ocean. It's like the sunken titanic, it floats about randomly and to find it 100% you will need the compass. Otherwise if you swim in the sort of mid-western sea and pop up above surface, you can see its position and general direction and keep on changing grid references in that direction and re-diving.

You can find Great white sharks and Killer Whales and huge swarms of manta rays. It's great.

Conditions: You must have uncovered 60% of the main map by exploring *and* have
            entered the Caves for the first time. There are no further plot
            dependencies, so this can happen at nearly any time.

            The 60% of the main map includes the green land areas and the dark
            blue deep ocean areas. To uncover these you need to work your way
            around the edges.

  - unlocked Pirate Ship

  As the Pirate Ship moves around the map, it can be hard to find. You have
  four approaches:

   - find it by accident
   - thorough exploring just below the surface, which is virtually impossible
   - swim to the surface and look around. The ship can be seen a long way off
   - find all parts of the Pirate's Compass, which tells you which squares it
     can be found on

* Or look up the Pirate's Compass in section 12 of this FAQ to find the answer

   When you find the Pirate Ship, swim in to the large hole near the port bow.

   - unlocks Ocean's Graveyard (Ship's Rest)

Comments in red

TBH that guy in the phantom of the opera mask and the blue rose was pushing it. Hmm, the Wings aren't the main bad guys? Now I'm intrigued.

I was confused about that scene in russian where they meet the little girl who is actually gregory? And then saya says she is going to sleep. Did that happen in the past or present because it wasn't really made clear. I hoped that the Chiropterans were naturally occuring monsters that were as old as time. But they seem to be headed down the science gone wrong route.
