@parad0x360: Because, although that game was incredibly awesome, all it was were dungeon runs. Might be enough for hardcore fans like us, but it gets pretty boring for the common crowd, specially as an MMORPG.

Why can't he just be corny and funny, like Dante?

Incredibly how PSO is still maintained in fan servers and has a huge following, while PSU has a much worse gameplay, game engine, enemies and even asthetics and design. Hell, I got both, and I never touch PSU. I only play PSO in fan-maintained servers, and the game is still a blast, as much as always.

Oooh, tension. I like.

Although I hope Rockstar don't get swallowed. They're one of my favorite companies, and they got the massive bawls to do just about anything, which is terrific.

ActRaiser sequel for the win. Of course, from being fun making it to actually getting the company to make it, goes a long way.

...or we'd already have Shenmue 12.

Seriously Fahey, put a damn disclaimer.

@Mr. Fap☆Fap!: That's from the Gamecube game. I'm assuming the game itself is a sequel with no images released yet.

It's just basically a place where you can play WoW and Starcraft 2 all day. Only for enthusiasts.

The PS1 packed DualShock controllers with Ape Escape when they started being required for the games. What's so crazy about this?

Mon, 12 May 2008 07:09:43 MDT

@ShirtGuyDom: I'm inclined to agree. MGS2 still remains as one of the titles that has impressed me the most. Plus, the gameplay, mechanics and bosses were awesome.

This sounds good. Sega's on the rise again, it seems. Stylish action game with guns and angels from the creator of DMC? I smell unoriginal but fantastic game here.

Why can't people just look at this and say "Wow, cool."? But noooooo, bitching is required over whose legendary game got screwed over another in the motherfucking alphabet shirt. This isn't the oscars, people.

PRE-ORDERED.

Ashurahori commented on Niko Bellic's San An Flight Priced By Airways

Sat, 10 May 2008 04:18:17 MDT

For those who don't know, the original GTA contained several cities, them being Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas. Rockstar's keeping quite canon with the game's history. GTA 2 just contained a single city, just referred to as "Anywhere City". This game, however, had Claude Speed, the protagonist which would appear on GTA 3, as the main character.

A simple wiki checks it all out. Do your research, people.

@Darth Navster:

*Even More Spoilers*

I killed Playboy X, and I suppose that if you kill Dwayne, you don't get Playboy X's fancy apartment to live in, PLUS a new friend who will send gang members to help you in missions whenever you call him.

If you don't follow the story through with the character and help Dwayne man up once more, you lose ALOT of goodies. And I don't think Playboy X will ever do you any more favours.

The reason I killed Playboy X in the first place, was because I saw a parking space in his apartment, and I realised that the space could be unlocked. It was an easy decision for me.

Ashurahori commented on You Can Buy Ninja Gaiden II Skins

Fri, 09 May 2008 04:39:49 MDT

If the skins are as epic as the one shown on the picture, I'll get it. I've got 250 points loose in my account, anyway, and I dunno what to do with them.

I mean, if people buy useless themes and gamerpics, why not this? At least it'll be something I end up playing with.

Holy crap, all that for what are supposed to be cheap Russian clothes? I think Game Daily should've looked for knockoffs a bit more.

Impossible is nothing.

Ashurahori commented on Fallout 3 Lead: "We're Console Players Now"

Wed, 07 May 2008 02:24:36 MDT

He's trying for the best of two worlds. He doesn't want to dissapoint the original fans, but he wants to make a good game for the masses as well. I'd say he's got balls.

He could've just said "we're in the console business now" and walked away.

PC's almost dead, people. Let's move along, shall we?

Ashurahori commented on XBLA Game Music Is Getting Better, Yo

Wed, 07 May 2008 02:21:13 MDT

I really don't get why everyone hated this. It's my favorite XBLA game to date, and it's terrific.

Tue, 06 May 2008 18:12:32 MDT

As I play my games in a laptop with no connection this is bad for me.

...meh, I'll download it and whatever cracks necessary for it to work. I bought the 360 version, which was riddled with bugs. They OWE me this version.

Ashurahori commented on Mirror's Edge In Motion

Tue, 06 May 2008 17:33:25 MDT

To those complaining:

- Bland character: Is she any blander than Chell from Portal? Gimme a break.

- First-person: The whole first person thing is what the game is all about. Playing this in the third person would be like playing Oblivion in the third person. Weird, and stupid.

- Story: Yeah, the story would be waaaaay better if it had aliens versus space marines. Shove it up your asses, the story is fine. Not all games have to wow us with their storytelling. Specially if they're like this, concentrated on action and freedom more.

Tue, 06 May 2008 12:59:00 MDT

@megaStryke: I think the smiley means he's kidding.

Suuuuuuuuure you've changed! =P Still waiting for those epic flames.

Anyway, I live in Portugal, which is Europe, for those who are unaware, and over here, people are Sony crazy. EVERYONE has a PS2, and everyone plans to get a PS3. Same with games such as Pro Evo, and Singstar. These are quite popular picks in Europe. Sony has huge cred over here, so this isn't a surprise.

Ashurahori commented on WiiWare Games Will Be Up When They're Ready

Tue, 06 May 2008 12:54:02 MDT

@megaStryke: There's no hard data from official sources, but if we base ourselves on the logic that casual gamers don't play everyday, that hardcore gamers already finished the games they had for the Wii/Are busy with Brawl, and look at nearly everyone (at least that I've noticed) online, I honestly can't find one single shred of evidence to suggest that people are playing their Wiis as much as they play other consoles.

Ashurahori commented on Stuck On GTA IV? Try These Cheats, You Cheater

It wouldn't be a GTA game without cheats. Cheats are a part of the GTA series, people.

I got some hope for the Wall-E game coming out. From what I've seen, it seems quite fun, and for the HUGE number of platform games we get nowadays, it'll be a good experience.

Ashurahori commented on Iron Man Movie Does Fine Despite GTA Release

Mon, 05 May 2008 10:35:15 MDT

Iron Man kicks serious ass. For me, the only mildly dissapointing part in the movie, was that the main villain could use his power armor like a pro without having once set foot on it, after Stark himself having spent the entire movie learning.
