COMMENT ON GAMES YOU RECENTLY PURCHASED TO SPARK DISCUSSION!

[Hybrid]

It's late and I have class tomorrow morning so I'll list some and post tomorrow:

The list starts as of the last game(s) you purchased...unless that was over a month ago. After picking up Burnout 3 a week from today, I now have 2 more to tangle with:

-Fable
-Gradius V

I didn't pick up Sly 2 yet. I'll probably wait until I beat fable or possibly my birthday. Also I may get another game this week so watch out! As I said earlier, I'll post my comments on these 2 games tomorrow.

Fresh out of the $19.99 bin, I bought Prince of Persia 2 weeks ago. I like rewinding but now I understand what many were saying about the awful sound quality of the voices in the game.

Was it compressed to 16 kbps? lol

[bonesquad]

You got PoP2 from the "bargin bin" even though it's not out yet? Amazing... (Oh I see...) Good game though.

Let's see... I got Silent Hill 4 (not bad... if you're a fan) and Madden Collector's Edition. Not much to discuss... I had been playing Doom 3 too. But again...

My next big purchase -- not counting Beastie Boys tickets this Saturday! -- is the Star Wars DVD next week. Speaking of SW, when does Battlefront come out? Or for that matter NBA2K5 and MK:D? Bah! Just ask me again after Paper Mario 2 drops, and not nessasarily to the "bargin bin"... That Kamacy Damacy Whatever sounds cool too, and it launches in the "bargin bin". Get that Tork... after you get Prime!

I got Fable.

I reserved Donkey Konga so next weeks its that, and perhaps the starwars dvd too.

[JoeyOnly]

last game i bought was halo. ummm i was in the World of Warcraft stress test, does that count for anything?

[Hybrid]

No it doesn't.

Awe Conn is too busy playing Fable to talk about it. Well since everyone else was short and sweet, I guess I will be too.

Fable is a very good game, though a little too slow and unengaging to make it great. There are some definate glitches like out of place massive blurry texture boulders that were probably trying to render but got lost along the way...of course they turn to normal after a good few seconds of staring. Other than some technical issues and diluted story/characters, the game can be quite fun since you can make a lot of decisions for yourself. Customizing your character through gameplay can be a little addictive, though not the most constantly enjoyable experience. Oh god do I hate the voices.

Gradius V is like the pinnacle of its series. Take 2 parts Gradius, 1 part Ikaruga (not the color changing part), mix in with even better graphics and you basically have a solid shooter that Ive only gotten to the end of Level 1 in. What I found quite amazing is that the 2nd half of level 2 is a boss parade of 3 (or more) bosses. I won't get into technicalities since few people still play these games, but if you like shoot-em-ups, just buy it, it's at a nice tork-friendly price of $30.

I guess that wasn't short and sweet after all.

[ConnDestn]

Though they scare me at times, i like most of the voices, though my wifes voice is quite annoying.

"Would you like to go to bed with me?"
-Conn's Wife

[Hybrid]

You know you're playing a man's game when there is a map icon for your wife. I think I'll get myself a woman today. I could have gotten one yesterday but I had no fake wedding ring to give her. For some reason I can't seem to find that guy that sells those gifts or even the title seller. Awe look at the chickens run!

[ConnDestn]

Theres a real wedding ring seller in bowerstone. By the way my wife is the lady who works at the inn in bowerstone. Sure its your own copy of the game but KEEP your hands off of her.

[Hybrid]

Ever since I got my normal haircut back and some mutton chops, EVERY woman by default has a half heart when I walk near them. Today I finally got a ring and a house and of course tied the knot. It took a while and some serious following but my woman finally requested my love biscuits. I was kinda dissapointed with the happy noises and black screen that represented sex, but then I remembered this game has some class. You wouldn't happen to know if there are a lot of different haircuts would you? I have very few available but I've found a good deal of tattoo cards. Bah, maybe I should just steal a whole bunch or random things in houses.


Hmm is this a topic about Fable now? I hear there is a temple where you can make some offering and become good if you are really evil. That kinda takes the point out of watching all your steps which apparently all have a consequence.

[ConnDestn]

u can go to a temple to sacrafice people if u like, and yes there are alot of hair cards, and yes this is now a fable thread. period.

[Hybrid]

OOPS (or as bone would say "opps!")

I forgot to mention my latest game...yes I bought another one:

-Guilty Gear X2: Reload

I can easily say this is the best 2d fighter I have ever played. 2nd being Street Fighter 3: Third Strike even though I do love watching some of my favorite characters in Marvel Vs Capcom. Anyways, Ive been watching my friends play GGXX on PS2 this summer and they've repeatedly told me to somehow find it and buy it. Oddly enough, we got one in trade a couple days ago but I decided on the new $20 Xbox version for online play and a connected Dpad. It's good, it's $20, if you like 2d fighters and have an xbox, buy it and play me online. Well that makes 4 game purchases in the last 2 weeks...and I didnt even buy Sly 2 like I was going to.

[ConnDestn]

Nice Hy thanks for tellin me its out. Ima try and get it today then ill play u. This will make my fourth purchase in about 3 weeks.

1.Viewtiful Joe
2. Beyond Good & Evil
3. Fable
4. Shenmue 2 + shenmue movie (EBAY)
5. Guilty Gear X2: Reload

[bonesquad]

GGX2 is better than SF3:TS?

Well I just got Mario Sunshine, TimeSplitters 2, and PSO 1&2 AND 3. Wait... Opps! (such an ass....)

[Hybrid]

Just got? In the past 2 years?

Conn, that's FIVE games! If I were to count how many games I bought this summer up to today...boy...that is a LOT of games. Well over 10.
