I know. I loved me some Chromehounds hard, and the folks I hang out with even now on XBL are folks I met in Chromehounds. Just a great game, and one where finding the right folks to work with could forge some real good friends.
Manly Tears!
Now Metal Gear fans will know what it felt like for Chromehound fans when From Software shut down the Chromehound servers. Except, you know, the whole part about how Metal Gear was about blowing up giant robots and sneaking and Chromehounds was about giant robots blowing up other giant robots, trees, houses, tanks, and anything else you felt like blowing up, as well as sneaking around in a giant box made of metal plates to protect your cockpit.
Otherwise... TOTALLY the same.
You're in my way, sir.
I would have been down with this. Especially if I could have gotten my own personal attack dog. Like the Attack Dogs killstreak, but just a single one to use. Would have been so awesome.
Not really, because they're more than just acting as memory cards. It's DLC as well, but it's totally usable in other games (when they make them). It would be akin to what Bioware does with Mass Effect, but instead of having your saves on your console, you can have it on your shelf, or your pocket, or on display.
It also is a great way to market the game without having to get into nasty DRM issues, because if you want the cute gryphon in your game, you gotta actually go get the figure. It's ingenious.
They're not peripherals. They're figures. And they act as memory cards for your character's leveling and stuff.
This is like... inverse-peripherals. It's like DLC, but you actually get something in Real Life as well. And plus, it's pretty fun.
I'm sorry, but that's just sad and unmanly. You know how this could be improved? Pastel ponies. I'd be down with flying on a plane with Rainbow Dash on the side. She never crashes... uh... well... no wait.
Wow Japan, I'm speechless. I'm so very, very speechless.
Go play the "Milk Man" section of Psychonauts.
It won't explain anything, because my lord that part of the game is screwed up, but my comment might make more sense in context.
I was wondering if new Skylanders games would allow old Skylanders figures to be used, and it seems they can. Woohoo.
In the meantime, fill up the shelves with more Skylanders figures. I need to get some new Skylanders in my game.
Plants need water poured on them, because they have no hands to hold glasses of water. Plants support this idea of Psychonauts II as well, even though they do not possess wallets.
"Whatever." should be replaced with "Kupo!"
And if I can get a version that has FFTA moogles, that would be even better, kupo.
But he's not doing anything in "his life". The only part he actually plays is being connected to the main boss by blood, more or less, and being Yuna's protector. Big whoop. Yuna's the one who has to actually go through with actually doing stuff that moves the plot forward. The only reason Tidus is there was because Auron was too badass to even die and figured he'd bring Tidus along to see his dad.
Yuna is the one the story is about. Tidus is just some annoying guy with Meg Ryan hair who can't laugh and lives in the shadow of his father's memory.
Hell, the first time Tidus goes to save Yuna, Yuna's all like "Hi, I just got out of the temple, who are you, why are you in here, it's like illegal for you to be in here, while I just got finished doing what I'm supposed to be doing to save the world."
Yuna's story, Tidus is just the guy you're stuck observing it from perspective-wise.
Plus, he doesn't even exist. He was just a memory made manifest. And the best thing about him is when he disappears at the end of X. Best day ever.
That must mean the Dukes of Hazzard was about that guy who talked whenever those Duke Boys were frozen while jumping over the creek. :P
I'm okay with this, mostly because while the game was okay, some parts of it were bad, like Tidus and Yuna laughing. Also, Tidus was a horrible character because "This is my story" was a LIE! It's Yuna's story. Tidus just got roped into it. Yuna actually is the one who has character development and stuff.
So yeah, ha-ha-ha.
Pyro is Billy Mays in an asbestos suit.
Now make sure you send me all of your Refined for Spy Check!
No, I won't forgive them until....
We get Chromehounds 2. One of the best games on the 360, and it doesn't get a sequel? That's just unforgivable. That's more of an outrage than bugs and framerate issues in a sequel to a game that came out after Chromehounds.
I'd also settle for Armored Core V being kick ass as well.
If you like Mechwarrior, you'd have loved Chromehounds. Best slow, giant robots fighting game ever, because you could make a 'bot however you want and it was AWESOME.
Moogles are the best when they have knights and guns and airships, like in FFTA 1&2. Moogles with GUNS. GUNS. Guns make everything better. And they're a lot cooler than belts. [tvtropes.org]
Never played it, myself. From what I saw it's a slower version of Armored Core. Take that for whatever you will.
