Video Games...Discuss Them

[Lasse]

Well, the guy in the video did beat the boss, so I don't see how your waaaaah works. :P

But he used continues, didn't he?

And after watching the video a few times yesterday, I have that creepy voice, and especially the laugh in the back of my mind most of the time. :frustrated:

Maybe it's just because I dislike games like those. I just don't have the patience.

After playing some more SF4 online battles and getting my ass handed to me about 75% of the time, I've come to the conclusion that I really need to stay offline. All I'm accomplishing is making a fool of myself.

Play as Dan - then even when you lose, you win.

I might just start having to.

So, I haven't seen Gears of War 2 get discussed here in a while.

What was the consensus on that one?

I'm thinking about renting it, but I'll only have access to my 360 for another 10 days or so and I don't know if I'd actually be able to beat it with all my other commitments.

Sounds like a marked improvement over the 100% losing rate you had when you played SF2 against me, punk! :P

/ah, the good ol' days
//but seriously

I played some Mortal Kombat online once upon a time, and, yes, 15 year old kids with brand new reflexes would wipe the floor with me the vast majority of the time.

Its the same as GoW1 only bosses are more epic.

[Lasse]

I just wated to say Football Manager games FTW.

That is all.

[megladon8]

Was playing "GoW2" last night with some friends. We played Horde Mode, which is great fun.

[lovejuice]

Uhm... why would someone create a boss like that? I mean, shouldn't one be able to beat a game?

This is how I feel, too.

I like a game to be challenging, but that's just stupid.

I love bullet-hell games, but, yes, that one looks a little extreme.

i might be wrong, but it looks like arcade game. so as long as you have coins to spend, it's possible to beat that boss.

and i think, the bullet pattern is chaotically cool.

[Acapelli]

went bargain bin hunting since gamestop has that "buy 2 get 1" going. i found elite beat ages for $10 and got it since it's a game i've been meaning to play. its fun as hell, and i even like the song selection

i also picked up haze and dark sector. haze for it being a two player co-op title for only $13 from a developer that made one of my favorite fps's (that being timesplitters 3), even if the reviews are mostly terrible. i want to give them a chance and at that price i could bite

I picked up Super Street Fighter II for my SNES today. It's surreal to know that I rented this game fifteen years ago.

Jesus Christ, time flies. And yet, my SNES still works.

Finished Persona 3. Thank God. Go back to your watery hell, Goggleor.

[EyesWideOpen]

I'm not a fan of stealth games or Metal Gear Solid but I'm giving MSG4 a shot. I'm trying to play some of the PS3 exclusives so we'll see how it goes.

[Winston*]

Anyone played the demo for the latest Red Faction game? It's awesome. You can use a sledgehammer to just smash the shit out of everything.

Is it on the 360 Marketplace?

[Sycophant]

I have no idea what this means.

MGS4 is a helluva lot less stealthy than its predecessors.

[Winston*]

Don't know. It's on the PSN though

I have no idea what this means.

It's an obscure non sequitur refererence to the video game Psychonauts.

[D_Davis]

My 360 has been fixed, and it was sent back to me on Saturday...

Should be here in a few days.

Man have I ever missed SFIV.

Glad they fixed it and everything.

I thought Microsoft was really good about this, both times it happened to me.

My friends and I played thirty rounds of this last night. Insane. My roommate Sarah was waxing us all as Chun Li. Then I put her in her place with some well-timed HA-DO-KEN!

[megladon8]

Hey, I think I asked this question before so forgive me... but is Gears 2 a short game? I'm only going to have access to my 360 for a few more days and I figured I could make use of the thing and try out a quick game.

Yeah, I think the campaign is comparable in length to the original (so like 6-8 hours).

But if you want a bloody brilliant quick game, play "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" if you haven't already.

[Scar]

I picked up Dragonball Z Burst Limit for $15 awhile ago, and picked up Soul Calibur 4 for $10 on Sunday. Both are definately getting some play when friends are over! They are both rather fun.

Skitch. Want.

[Morris Schæffer]

Gears of War 2 had a hideously pitiful final boss battle. Otherwise, pretty epic game!
