yeah, it's very problematic. we both seem to be online and it
recognises that much but it doesn't seem to be able to hook us up to
play. bit annoying, but at least we tried. thanks
Well, I just got back home with a brand new copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl. I recieved a Christmas card today that contained a $50 gift card, so I weathered the chaos of Christmas Eve shopping ( , and picked it up. Thankfully, the game works fine with my launch Wii (some launch Wiis don't work with Brawl, and they have to be sent back to Nintendo).
I haven't played that much of it yet, but I'm liking it a lot so far. I definately prefer the slower speed of Brawl's gameplay over Melee's noticably faster speed, and the camera seems less erratic than Melee's too.

You're welcome. It's too bad it didn't work. It would've been fun.

Hey guys, Merry Chirstmas. Got Sonic Unleashed PS3 version and I love it, like I SA level love it. Even the werehog levels are good, solid puzzles, good combat that you cant button mash through at later levels. Sonic levels are spectacular, there are side missions just like the wii version except this game makes them hard, ultimate skill is needed for these. The game is HUGE, like 50+ hours huge if you want to explore and find everything.
Played some Fallout 3, sweet game but its very Oblivionish, though combat is really cool. Oh and the level up system is way better. Not sure if I will like this world over a beautiful green fantasy landscape though. Anyway i am practically nowhere, just started so a long way to play.
Have not opened Boom Blox yet.
I may be busy the next few days, so sorry if I dont post much.
No, you don't. Nocturne is a self-contained masterpiece. All the Shin Megami games deal with the end of the world and/or humanity versus God and/or the Devil, but they are all independent of each other.
Besides that, the story changes depending on the philosophies you choose to follow in the game. It's almost like a very philosophical, demonic pokemon on crack... which is a very, very good thing.
Hey! I was just checking my Wii Internet settings, and apparently Nintendo added WPA with TKIP and AES and WPA2 support to the Wii at some point! (When did that happen?)

50 hrs for a Sonic game? That's huge. When you say that Fallout 3 is very Oblivion-ish that's a good thing right? My bro was suppossed to get me this for Christmas. I have the same fear about playing in this post-apocolyptic world. I thought that it would be good if some greenery had recovered and started to beautifully cover the broken cityscapes.

It's the 360 and Japan. What can you expect? Those guys love JRPGs.
I expect Lost Odyssey to outsell all the crappy RPG's ahead of it.
Anybody here a Shin Megami Tensei fan? I'm wondering if you need to play any other game in the series to understand the story of Nocturne.
The best games aren't the most popular though, just like there is shit topping the movie charts most of the time. I saw this Greatest 80s movie program last night. Fucking classic. What happened to the world?

Interesting reading that. I have a real life friend who has mario kart and we phoned each other and literally entered our codes online at the same time whilst on the phone and it instantly registered us both, which was cool. But for something like Brawl, I have to put it in the machine and make sure WiiConnect 24 is on and I just havenn't been playing it, which is why it says that I haven't registered people. I have, I just haven't had the game in and online. If people want to arrange a smash game for the weekend, head to the online thread.

Its basically Elder Scrolls in a modern, realistic setting. I liked it, but at the same time the Elder Scrolls games hit me A LOT harder than Fallout. I don't know why, maybe I just like the ES fantasy setting more.
The combat is great in how you can target specific body parts, and the slow-mo scenes are awesome. Yet I found it like the rest of the game to become a bit more tiresome and repetitive than the ES stuff. In ES you can always come up with a new spell or some crazy shit to keep you entertained. Fallout, you're pretty much stuck with gun combat.
So gorgeous, so technically excellent, so intriguing at first -- which makes it especially crushing that under all that richly-realized Africa is yet another first-person shooter, and endless litanies of the same ambush mission over and over.
Far Cry 2 really was not even close to Instincts in quality. Instincts blows FC2 away, both single-player and multi-player wise. In single player, Instincts shows that sometimes a more linear experience is a much better one, with much more variety. While multi-player speaking, FC2 completely removed the fun factor by making things all uber realistic.
Everyone who plays FC 2 says the same thing: The first few hours, you think you're in for an amazing experience. A few hours later, you realise you're in for the same experience over, and over, and over again.
I never understood the post-apocalyptic desert/wasteland motif you see in the media. Do people really think that after a nuclear war, plants will stop growing? Yes you would have mutations and most people would look hideous. But rats and cockroaches are known to be able to survive nuclear explosions so some seeds would do the same. I imagine that post apocalyptic town would be a ruin covered almost entirely by weeds. A jungle swallowing a ruined city, that's what I imagine.
Some examples
See you can do post apocalyptic stuff without boring desert! So the next Mad Max movie better be taking place in a jungle

How does the combat work exactly? Is it just like a run and gun FPS or is it like RPG guns KOTOR combat type thing?

I was going to get this game, what is with Ubi and the repetitive missions? They seem to go to all this trouble with sandbox type games and then mess up on variety.
IGA I saw this documentary that showed what would happen if mankind were to be wiped out. It showed the world, nature reclaiming the cities etc. It would take a few thousand years but yeah it would happen.

I agree. I really hate that ugly desert/wasteland look in a lot of games these days, and it's true that the Earth would reclaim it with plant life. This has been proven in several Discovery Channel documentaries.

Yeah, Melee is fast.
You're welcome. It's too bad it didn't work. It would've been fun.
That game moves like SFII Turbo which is way too fast for me. I always played that game at the slowest settings possible.
