Yeah if they do MTV shows instead of music videos (or maybe both) it could be good. "If they get that chart long enough they may be able to show where herpes began" LMAO

Wasn't really thrilled about a new B&B, but watching that clip gives me some hope!

Got my Collector's Edition and it comes with a download for the soundtrack, and like a mini-strat guide, and I don't want it, so if someone just jizzed in their pants reading I am giving this stuff away, then let me know you want it (no mentions of jizz or jizz related imagery pls) and I'll send the code and info your way. I love how the back of the box basically says the game is so hard, the achievements will actually mean something.

Well honestly the only game I've gotten all the 108 Stars on was V. And that was with a walkthrough. I think my end-game totaled at like 160 hours or so. I just wanted to see a "real" ending for once. And one day I would like to go back and play the series in Chronological order according to the lore of the series and not release dates. But that'll be in like 20 years when I have nothing better to do with my life and can take like a year off to do that. As for Teirkris and Tactics, they are all just basically variations on a theme, well THE theme of war and politics and such. I never got more than 10 hours or so into Teirkreis though. And while they may not go back to make a new Suikoden anytime soon, maybe we can look forward to them "re-imagining" the series like they have done with Ys and Dragonquest. Or re-releases of the old games redone to the newer standards of such and such generation. IE Not so many damned random battles. Because you KNOW one day we will get all those ps2 games we loved on a portable system. Sony is just itching for a system that will let them make money on games theyve already got.

Suikoden V is probably one of the most under-rated RPG's of all time. I own all of them (yes original discs and all) and I have played through them all except for the first one. I love the 108 stars of destiny, and I especially love the whole base building aspect that V did so well. Though the early story could use a little more umph to draw the players in. Or maybe it just seemed to take forever because I was trying to get all the extra characters. As a whole the entire series is under-rated, but the first two entries on the ps2 are sort of hard entries to get into unless you are familiar with the series. 3 was good, just along side games like FFX and Tales of the Abyss, it doesn't look as pretty or play quite as easily. Same with 4, plus the amount of random sea battles is so damn high I don't think many people would put up with it to see the story through. So they are done with the series completely now? I mean other than PSP/Vita/DS releases? Though Suikoden Teirkreis was good in it's own right. It'd be nice to see a Suikoden game with a nice big budget so they can really focus on every character and other aspects of the game and make it like the greatest, longest, most amount of playabale characters ever! Though I think they should keep it like they do and only make a certain amount of people you recruit playable. Having 108 different characters to lvl up and look after when you only use 6 at a time would be a little much. Imagine that achievement/trophy "Leveled all Stars of Destiny to Max Level" +5G/Bronze Trophy

Nice! I really enjoyed 3, and 4 was fun for what I did play in it, but it had this horrible bug where the voices during cutscenes was so low you couldn't even hear it. I know it was subtitled, but it's still nice hearing the dialogue. I'm glad they are at least releasing this new one in EU, though given 4 was put out here, there shouldn't be any reason they can't bring this one stateside as well. If not, just import it like you said. Speaking of imports, are there any threads going of good Jap/EU PS3 games that never made it over here that are worth importing?

Woot Free game I DONT already own!! Get it while its hot people!

Ah wow a Tales game I didn't know about. Fuck a 60gb, I'd give my right nut (it's slightly smaller) for that console! But now between that one and the Yakuza 3 console...I'm a bigger Tales fan so Ill change my vote to that one. Speaking of Tales games and 60gb, one of the reasons I didn't hunt another one down after I lost my first one is because Tales of Legandia is just about unplayable on the 60gb. Cutscenes and areas render fine, but when you get into any fight the background does some wierd stuff and looks like theres a video driver issue. I guess its one of those games not in the 97.3% or whatever the percentage is for backwards compatability. Plus it's cheaper to just buy a ps2 than spend the extra money on a 60gb vs a "normal" ps3.

I meant the one under the MGS lol, with the red in it...I honestly thought the MGS one was just a regular ps3 for comparison (in case someone didn't know what they looked like, yeah im dumb)

I'm with Logan on the electronic stuff. VSnares, Aphex Twin, Dark Side of the Moog (listening to all 11 albums back to back while on acid has been a long dream of mine, too bad real acid doesn't exist anymore). And hell between the first two bands alone you have literally a few months straight of music to listen too, more than enough for a lifetime worth of fucked-up-ed-ness. Or you could take all that money you would invest tracking down and buying all that music into a synth and just make weird sounds of your own. Not too fun for the drunk crowd, but will amuse all others!

I was just thinking about bootlegging it while I was replying to your post lol. I feel if I can't buy it, then there shouldn't be a problem with downloading it. As for adventure games, I bought one of the old Atlantis games out of a bargin bin some years ago, with no clue what it was about, other than the pictures made it seem like a Myst-type game. Popped it in and spent the day beating it. It wasn't the best, or the prettiest, but for some reason it just started this love of all those old cheesy adenture games. And from there into the more realistic stuff like Syberia, Gemini Rue, Tex Murphy, Broken Sword etc. So I've dabbled quite a bit into the genre now, but any suggetions would be appreiciated, as it is a most under-rated genre imo.

Why don't we get any cool ones over here? That Yakuza 3 one was badass...or hell even one of the FF13 ones...still better than the flat matte black one I have now. I had a DBZ sticker on my last ps3, but it died a horrible death. It was a 60gb too What's that first ps3 from? I'd prolly would have bought that Yakuza one if they'd ever of offered it over here. Do Jap ps3's have a selectable english interface? Any problems with importing one over here? My ps3 knowledge on that stuff is nil...

I'd go with Steam, just because they have a broader user base so they are more likely to be around the longest. Plus Steam has said that if they do ever shut down, they'll patch it so that you can download all your games and basically it'll turn into what GoG does for their games for some unspecified amount of time before they close. But you would have to download it before their servers went or it'd be gone. But that's BIG hypothetical right now. I don't see steam closing even in a major downfall in gaming worldwide. On the other hand with GoG, you could just d/l the install file, put it on an external or something, and always have a copy wherever you went. Wouldn't have to worry about being online like with Steam as well... Ah yes Grim Fandango, that's another one I would like to play. Never got to play it when it was out. Hadn't yet learned what a joy adventure games could be...I thought they were all Myst-like in diffculty and ambiance.

GoG is awesome, been with them for a while now. My only problem with the new Raptor is there aren't any cheat codes for it... Bin, how do you post your account page on here? Or did you just take a screenshot and link it? Either way, like Steam, GoG is one of those places I love to support. Just waiting for them to release System Shock 2...hopefully, sometime, maybe?? Or even System Shock 1! That would be the shit! Oh and Freelancer, i'd like to pay for a copy one day... NWN Diamond, Fallout, Jagged Edge, all those old adventure games you love to hate, Freespace 1 and 2 (which is what originally drew me to GoG). Of course not many of you know about the depths of cash I've spent on Steam and GoG, but here to hoping GoG is around for a long time to come.

Someone else played Nier and enjoyed it?? There isn't a god!! When did I ever say sales = greatness/quality? If that were the case, then Wii Sports would be the greatest game of all time. I was just saying that it didnt sell well so there wont be many people to banter our opinions of this game with. Shadows itself was enjoyable. It was just an average enjoyable experience to me. If it weren't for the dick jokes and excessive violence and names attached to the game, we probably wouldn't even be talking about it. Was the shooting spectacular? Not really. Were the guns memorable other than the names? Probably not. Were the puzzles ingenious and thoughtful? Nope. The story was good, but really what about this game makes it worthy of 9's? On the same note, do games like Call of Duty and Gears of War deserve 9's and 10's time after time? Hell no. Really the only AAA title I rant and rave about is Mass Effect 1 & 2. Which IS better than killer 7. (Let's start a new forum for that arguement lol). Otherwise I tend to stay away from the AAA titles. I've found the indie crowd has better, fresher ideas than most mega-companies can come up with over a whole generation. Not that this is an example of new/fresh, but one of the games I have put the most time into in the past year is "Mount and Blade" which is a wonderful example of less is more. It was developed by a husband and wife team, but goddamn I can just lose hours and hours into that game. I would say that game deserves 9's and 10's, but I doubt anyone here would agree. But don't take stuff so personally NZA, your list (although missing Mass Effect 2) is pretty close to my own list of what will be remembered into the next gen. Though Catherine will be remembered for those damn climbing levels ever more so than the story.

I'll agree with Mal on this one....this game is undeserved of the 8's and 9's its been getting. It is a fairly average game in all respects. So it's a little on the weird/fucked up side, that doesn't save it. I enjoyed it somewhat, but this isn't a game I am going to be reccomending or ranting about at any point in the future. Same with Catherine (as that got mentioned as well). Weird/Different doesn't always equal good. And as it only sold some 21,000 copies in the US we can all look forward to it going down the sinkhole only to be brought up every few years by someone not cool enough to have gotten it when it first came out.

Got my Absolute Ronin in the other day. I forgot how really awesome Ronin is. Also the comic book shop near my work is ordering me some more Ex Machina and Saga of the Swamp Thing books. Any other hidden gems you got tucked away??

This game looks like it will be worth whatever wait we have to endure. Will definately be keeping my eyes on this.

Venetian Snares - Thanks DoJ, I've really fallen in love with this man's music. It's almost all I listen to right now.

yeah I find 35-55 to be the worst part of the game. I'd also play more if I had some people to play with. So start up a character on one of the two servers if ya want and let me know your name and we can run some stuff. Can get Logan in and Rachel too when she is able, that'd be almost a full dungeon group right there. Make it easier to lvl for all of us.

I have a spare 8800gt if your comp can take PCI-E cards and has the power supply to handle it. My mains are all on Sisters of Elune, though I started a new priest to play on a server with some friends from work. They are all around 40-45 and I wont be long getting up there. If I like the server I might even move my mage over. I haven't been playing much lately but I usually play evenings and nights. Priest is on Greymane, everyone else is on Sisters of Elune. Oh yeah, I exclusively play Horde...so take that into consideration....and don't play Alliance anyways. They suck. As people, and as players.

Oh I'll twink you good alright...and I do accept real life favors for in game gold, not like some other prudes

If you don't feel like trying, or just can't get past a certian part there is a VC anime out. Only the first few episodes are out but so far it seems to follow the plot of the game. They even kinda mimic the artistic style of the cutscenes from the game.

Waves his copy and artbook around Lookie what I got!! It sucks it wont be made anymore but hell if I can still find a copy of Persona 1 for the PS1, this wont go away for a long time. And I doubt it'll ever reach Suikoden 2 prices, it might just be the normal $60, which if some of you had paid the first time around, it might not be going OOP...shame on you! Actually I don't think it was ever $60 new.

I did some quick listening to them on the iTunes store, so a lot of Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett just sounds like classical influenced experimental, but Detrimentalist and Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms seem like they would be right up my alley.
