Did it happen or did Jin win the whole tournament again with his Devil form?
I'd buy it myself, but I have no monies T__T (wiki's no help either) #tekken6

Devil Jin then open can of whop ass on Hwrang and was about to kill him.
Then Gon jumped in and farted so the two fighters were stunned and confused. Gon in the mist of confusion threw them in the air and ate them both.
The end
Oh yea forgot to mention that Panda still rejected Kuma. Not because Panda hates Kuma, it's just that Panda found out she was a lesbian.
Hitatchi finally build up enough stress where he got a hernia but no one noticed since he wears a diaper anyways.
Just rent the game if you don't have enough to buy it. I'm running out of ideas what happened, plus it's hard typing when your past the buzzing stage after drinking. #tekken6

Also your grammar is impeccable for someone who's supposedly drunk. Its LIKE YOU'RE NOT DRUNK AT ALL.
@Goldwings: Part of what Neko said was true, Hwang was about to defeat him Jin but Jin went all Devil and almost killed Hwang, he almost died but he his master saved him, Hwang woke up from a coma after 3 days and begged his master to train him as hard as possible, Baek took him in as a pupil again and gave him his toughest training regimen.
Hwang is now back and hopefully can bring Jin down once for all. #tekken6

I guess I have one less ending to go through since with the spoiler (it's all good). I can't wait to pick up my limited edition bundle next Wednesday. #tekken6

bound? rage? floor breaking? reduced juggle damage? universal 10frame jab? reduced sidestep? no more guaranteed launcher off of a low parry? different wall combos? wake up kicks only knockdown on CH?
NOTHING
just "campaign sucks" and "online sucks" #tekken6

This series still has issuses with its backdrops just being scrolling jpegs and with bizzare ass choices for unlocking content. Sadly the best way to unlock your favorite characters items is to play the lack luster scenario mode everyone is bitching about. It's not a quick trip either, it looks to be at least 3 to 4 hours long.
Past that the game is still as enjoyable to play as its always been characters get new moves and further balancing and while the game isn't mindblowing graphically its holds up well in every mode except scenario.
If you like Tekken you should already know if you want this or not. #tekken6

I think Kotaku said it best, All they had to give us was a solid game and a solid way to find competition (online mode), but instead they also decied to give us a SINGLE (No Co-op WTF) player experience...which kind of sucks.
When it does add Co-op it might be better because I have those friends that only want to play with you and never against you.
Anyway the way I see it, 2/3 of the game sucks (Online, and Single Player) The Versus is awesome, but still there was alot of room for improvement (Graphics, Presentation, LOADING). Also I'm surprised nobody mentioned Azazel, he is a terribly annoying and cheap boss fight, makes it hard caring about the end stories knowing you have to fight him. #tekken6
10/30/09
no one mentioned azazel because he sucks. i beat him using steve and all i did was 121. #tekken6

All reviews of Tekken 6 I've read do mention the Rage system, as have all reviews of SF4 mentioned the Focus Attacks or the Rage meter.
The difference with reviews and what you're looking for - in depth analysis of hit frames, recovery times etc, basically FAQs - is that reviews are general game criticism at best - the good ol' "graphics, sound, gameplay" breakdown, preferably conforming with style guides and less than 500 words - or consumer guides at worst.
Bringing it back to the movie analogy, if I ask you if a movie was good, would you answer yes or no, or go into the minutia, as I slowly move away from you? #tekken6

A couple years ago, the PS3 was a crap system.
But now they got Xbox on the run. #ratchetclankacrackintime

Traction.
That and some people (like myself) actually *like* XBL, and don't mind the fee for a very integrated and seamless system. #ratchetclankacrackintime

No risks without payouts in this muddled and saturated market, no game should score exceptionally well. #ratchetclankacrackintime

10/10 - Phenomenal
9/10 - Excellent
8/10 - Very good
7/10 - Good
6/10 - Above average
5/10 - Average
4/10 - Below average
3/10 - Bad
2/10 - Atrocious
1/10 - Bloody atrocious
Regardless of their (or any) scoring system, you should read the actual review. #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
Also, that scoring scale proves just how pointless most scoring systems are. Can you really numerically quantify the difference between 'Phenomenal' and 'Excellent' or 'Atrocious' and 'Bloody Atrocious'? A lot of those categories look like padding. They could axe half of them and go to a 5 point scale and the value of their scores would likely improve. #ratchetclankacrackintime

For any of the PS2 or PSP games you don't really need to have played any of the prior versions to understand the story. But Tools of Destruction, Quest for booty and A Crack in Time is the first time in the series it's been an official trilogy, so starting from Tools would be beneficial, but not really necessary. I'm sure they'll do a recap.
Also, the animation in Tools and Quest are some of the best. There are times that it really does look like an animated film, so making a true movie wouldn't be that much of a stretch. #ratchetclankacrackintime

It's hard to say what's more important? Innovation? Or refinement? #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
10/26/09
As for Ratchet & Clank: Does it change much. Nope. Do the games innovate much from each release to the next? A little. Are they still great games? Yes. It just depends on what you're looking for. Some folks are just looking to play great games, and others are looking for something new. On occasion, these two overlap, but it's more likely that either a game will innovate only, or just be great only. We as gamers know it's usually neither, though. #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
10/26/09
Considering that the last time they tried to innovate we got deadlocked... Refinement.
It differs from series to series.
Mario, for example, hit perfection on the Super Nintendo, but years later got toyed with, unfortunately. #ratchetclankacrackintime

Bunch of wankers.
Is that a proper English put-down? Might be a bit old. Any friendly Brits want to teach us some new slang? #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
10/26/09
Is that biased? Yeah, probably, but still a little bit true.
I don't hate Eurogamer at all, I just think it is funny how their rankings almost always make them seem overly negative. You'll see them give 60's or 70's to games that everyone else is loving.
They are scores, that based on everyone else's numbers, would mean that it was a game that had a neat idea or concept, but was executed very poorly, or a game that was good, but so derivative and vanilla that it creates boredom. That doesn't mean the games are crap, or "bad", but that there are tons of better options out there.
I'd argue that for what this game is, there probably isn't a better option. So I mock their scores. #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
I'll will give them credit though for not being a bunch of suck-ups like those advertisements--oops I mean reviews--that Game Informer publish. They do have personality in their writing, it's just fueled with haterade. #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
So? The idea that Edge (or Eurogamer, or anyone else) is wrong or stupid because they scored game X lower than anyone else is one of the stupidest and most intellectually lazy arguments there is in the gaming community. It's absolutely ridiculous, especially when the "curve" is built by some random guys at Metacritic HQ using a formula nobody else can see.
I am not saying that Edge is always right, or Edge is genius, just that, if you want to criticize them, you have to bring more to the table than "they score lower than the other guys." Especially when, quite often, they don't. #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
Then end up like this - "But you get a 6 out of 10."
Then we're all like this - "Hey aweso...wait what?" #ratchetclankacrackintime
10/26/09
Glad to see that other, more respectful publications are liking the game though. Can't wait to pick it up whenever I have the money. Dr. Nefarious is such an awesome villain.
(And really, when you're voiced by Armin Shimerman, the man behind Quark and Andrew Ryan, could it be any different?)

I wonder if they'll give MW2 a 7 for being too similar to COD4... It's funny how some objections don't seem to apply to certain genres or franchises.
To be fair, Eurogamer's review itself is mostly positive. It's like Ellie had a brain fart when the moment came to award a numerical score. #ratchetclankacrackintime

Just because they gave MGS4 an 8, thats where all this nonsense about them lowering marks for PS3 exclusives comes from. Ridiculous.
