Welcome to VG's Gamer Lounge. Alone, this thread has no topic.

Rather, this thread is for all those things that are interesting, but by themselves don't really warrant their own thread. Instead, put them here to be discussed.

Primary topics include (not limited to):



"Favorite/least favorite; best/worst X" type discussion
Small news updates that don't have a thread to go in
Challenging other members to matches in games
Recommendations
General video game silliness =P
Etc, etc


Stuff that generates large discussion may branch out into it's own thread, but for the most part, this thread should be for the things that wouldn't really get that many posts if they were made into their own thread.

The rules are slightly more lax in this thread, so a little socializing is ok so long as you're focusing on whatever the topic at hand is. Blatantly spamming will get you in trouble, so please try to avoid that. Remember; keep it video game- oriented.

Have fun. ^__^

so....whats with bounce physics these days? i feel like they dont get enough attention now that people want physics on explosions and collisions. I miss the good ole days when the only physics in a game involved boobs

So what is up with this hate i've been hearing on arcade rail shooters. They are one of the staples of an arcade even though it takes me like 20 bucks to beat one.

So, how about them pacmans?
I have noticed that in the newer emulations, they've added a few things like you can "grind" against the walls to move just a tiny fraction faster which gets you out of a squeeze pretty good. Sometimes I wonder if it can still be counted a the "real arcade classic" in that case. .-.

Hmm, King of Fighters 2K2 UM was released today...I need to get some MS Points....But goddamn it, what's with SNK re-releasing games for Xbox 360 instead of PS3?

Well, Crazy Taxi is re-releasing for PS3..<3 <3 So I'm happy.

Depends on what kind of games you're into. I mean, most pokemon games I can expect to waste spend about a good 300-400 hours of my life on them.

GameGeeks
11-03-2010, 02:40 PM
^That outside of RPGs which are down to about 20/25 hours. RPGs used to easily run you 40+ hours. And no, open ended games like FNV don't count since much of the time is spent traveling and exploring.

EDIT: Damn ninjas.

GameGeeks

Only way you'd get me into an FPS is on the computer. Using one joystick for movement and one for aiming is just asanine. Not to mention 99.9% of the people that play only care about their scores and could care less about just having fun. As for fighting games, I enjoy them, but at the same time I totally suck at them.

Light Buster
11-10-2010, 09:38 PM
^ Takes practice. I suck at fighting games as well but I can actually 'hold my own in Brawl' as a friend said. With enough practice, I can actually become competitive. Also, I sort of care about score but I mostly try to have fun. I only care about score to add insult to injury to my adversaries.

Hanamaru Kunikida

GameGeeks
11-10-2010, 09:45 PM
Yeah, but how the hell do you pull off a 16+ button combo? I can do basic combos but that's just insane. And that'd be fine depending how it's done. But that's not the only thing that happens. Despite MMOs creating the word noob, FPS have used it the most. Along with some other choice words I can't repeat here.

Light Buster
11-10-2010, 09:49 PM
^ Talent I guess. That or you're a hardcore player. A regular long combo takes practice. An special long combo (such as Akuma's Wrath of the Raging Demon, which is about 24 hits) can be done if you know the correct input/timing.

Hanamaru Kunikida

I wonder, why does the Asian version of Tales of Graces cost 70 USD and the Japanese version costs 100 USD. I mean, I'm pretty sure they are the same game cause I did the same with Sengoku BASARA 3.

I'm talking about the PS3 version which is going to be release 12/02/10.

It doesn't make any sense. Japan likes overpricing their stuff.

GameGeeks
11-12-2010, 08:51 PM
Well what's over priced here isn't necessarily overpriced there.

Hanamaru Kunikida
11-12-2010, 09:02 PM
Play-Asia has it at 94 USD, not to mention shipping and handling and some random import site I google'd has it at 104 USD but don't know if they include S&H.

Hopefully people take their time on making a translation for the game, just like FFXIII. Better yet, hopefully they port it to America and include Japanese voices. If not, I'll wait until the price drops to import, just like Tales of Vesperia.

GameGeeks

Yeah, don't use play asia. They overprice everything. And yeah it does seem to be expensive. Though it still falls under what's considered expensive there compared to here. And japanese amazon has it at $80.

Yeah, I know. I always use Yes-Asia but they didn't seem to have it. :(

Ah, I figured it was going to be cheaper there.

Even if I couldn't find something at another site I wouldn't use play asia since their customer service sucks.

I was talking about Amazon in my second sentence but I know what you mean...Like, it took like 2 weeks when I imported Jump Ultimate Stars! from Play-Asia then I imported Bleach: Heat the Soul X(I forgot which one) from YesAsia and IIRC, I think it arrived in 6 days and I used the free shipment option...=\

GameGeeks
11-12-2010, 09:26 PM
Yeah, worst buying site on the net they can't even get the basics down. Though I rarely import unless there's a translation patch out.

Same here unless it don't really need to understand the story of the game, like Anime games.

Not to get off topic here, if there is even a topic but has anyone ever played Jump Superstars? Its a japanese game featuring a collection of shonen jump fighers. Its for the DS. I was thinking about buying it on amazon but I'm not too sure.

GameGeeks
11-13-2010, 01:39 PM
I wouldn't recommend that game. There's a lot of menus to get through and you'll need a faq to understand what to do. So unless you're willing to commit to that then I wouldn't bother. And here's a vid on it.

Okay thanks. I'll keep that in mind when I buy an amazon gift card next week. Are there any Japanese imported games that are worth the purchase? Only one I've found so far is Pokemon Green.

GameGeeks
11-13-2010, 01:55 PM
No, I tend to to import unless there's a translation patch. But if you don't mind older games and don't mind playing on a PC I suggest Ys Oath in Felghana and Arc of Napishtim. Both have a translation patch.

So i realized that precision shooting on the wii is a real pain after playing some campaign in call of duty black ops.

I'm not surprised, no offense intended, but a controller is capable of much more accuracy and a mouse even tops that.

Yeah but since i'm in the waiting period between busted 360s yet again it's either that or updating my ps3 and finally getting rid of my other os, but i'm not quite ready for that yet.

If you wanted you could just put custom firmware on your PS3 and keep the other OS.

yeah, the reaction time of the wiimote is relatively low. So shooters aren't the greatest thing to play on it.

Here's to hoping you don't brick your PS3. I cracked my PSP and never looked back. I like playing old games on the go.

Hanamaru Kunikida
11-15-2010, 02:06 PM
Well, you pay 20 bucks - 100 bucks to save over 500 bucks? xD

But you know, JailBreak enables Homebrew, and Homebrew doesn't always mean piracy.

@GameGeeks: Hacking a PSP is like taking a candy from a baby. XD

No, and with the PS3JailBreak I don't think you can brick your PS3 since I seen it in action, sort of.

But what about all the components and all the yadayada?

Cause the one I found lets you play for PSX, PS2 and Blu-ray.

EDIT: I don't trust random DL links.
EDIT 2: Found a good one. =D

GameGeeks
11-15-2010, 03:12 PM
PSX is phoey, the base PS3 can play PSX games. It always was able to. PS2 I'm not sure about since that has more to do with hardware and Sony took out the components needed to cut down production costs.

I'm assuming you mean an emulator, that's possible but I'm not sure if one is made yet. The one for the PC has been in development since 07 and it's still in beta.

Me too but I like Xbox Live more than PSN.

Like, using Xbox Live is like using an iPhone and using PSN is like using those old phones without a keypad. I swear.

Well, I know this doesn't exist but let's call it a "dumbphone".

Of course, MS>>>Sony when it comes to programming so it's obvious.

I've been playing some scIV lately. [late to the party I know] But I'm quite disappointed it doesn't have a trophy system. I like it because it shows you what game I'm playing etc. Lame sauce.

Hanamaru Kunikida
11-28-2010, 09:22 PM
You see, the trophy system was integrated to the Playstation 3 after the release of LittleBigPlanet, and Soul Caliber IV was released before it. A lot of games after that weren't planning to do that, some actually had updates to integrate it like Uncharted 1, but I guess Namco Bandai didn't felt like it. The Trophy system became and obligation since January 1st, 2009 though.

EDIT: I can still see that you're playing it just not in your Game History as a whole.

That first black ops to MW2 i can agree with but Reach to Halo 3 is a completely different story. The gameplay itself took a giant turn when they decided to change a lot of the well known guns to single shot or less effective versions. There are also a bunch of problems with the armor abilities but i really won't go into detail on that. In short I think Halo 3 was still a better game. Also as i said i do agree with CoD games being mostly the same.

Some naturally come, or some I do them because I really have nothing else to do and I find them fun. I don't really get achievements for the sake of competition.

I hate it when some kids are only worrying about getting the achievements and not actually playing the game. V_V

Kid: &quot;Hey dude, can you let me beat you so I can rank up/and stack one more win so I can get the 100 wins achievement&quot;

@Ericgamer1 (http://www.animeforum.com/member.php?u=61187): I liked the cell shading too. It fit with the humor in the game. I don't think the jokes would have worked if it had graphics like TP. It's kind of the black sheep in the series though not for the graphics. It didn't take itself seriously and was sill compared to other Zelda games. Though I don't think it's my favorite. That's gonna go to either OoT or TP followed by ALttP.

Actually I have a Wii at my dad's house and my community college has one as well. I play the one at college since there is more people to play with and they have Super Smash Bros. Brawl or better yet, Brawl Minus. To top that my dad has a PS3 and I have some games for that too, which include Uncharted 2 and Super Street Fighter 4. It's not that I hate the PS3 or Wii, I give them credit, they have some good games. But my next gen console preference is the Xbox 360 but I'm still cool with playing the Wii or PS3.

PlayStation Cloud...
http://kotaku.com/5746393/save-your-ps3-games-in-thin-air

So basically you can link your saves into the server and your PSN Account and access them on another PS3. Pretty cool, but only con is that it's only available for subscribers of the Playstation Plus service.

I love all those X's on the Wii. xD That's why you should own all. A PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and a Wii. XD

PC has a lot of X's as well, reason why you should mostly own a PS3 or Xbox 360. But PC is getting a lot of exclusives, which makes up for their multiplat X's.

I had to cancel because I didn't really wanna pay for it and I found game review sites such as
Gamespot.com and Ign.com and the tv show back in the day was good for reviews
so pretty much thanks to the internet I get my reviews for me buying games
