[quote name='corrosivefrost']You shut your mouth. Some of us aren't fortunate enough to have midnight releases near us. :([/QUOTE]
I really wouldn't be going if it weren't for the fact that they told me they figure all of the preorder bonuses will be gone before tomorrow. :(

I got the flu or something and I feel horrible. I have to have that Phantom of Chaos skin, though.

The good thing is if it's like ODST and MW2's midnight releases then they'll have everyone out of there by ten after midnight. I've never seen people work as fast as they do in my life.

Edit: Anyone else really bummed that using any skins in GoW3 disables trophies?

Sorta -- it'll make the max orbs trophy (if there is one) much harder and aggravating when I end up with 200 orbs short and have to replay the entire game again. I'm more irritated there's no new game+ -- it was fun having the blade of olympus for the entire game in 2. :(

I read that as you got the flu and have phantom of chaos skin.

I'm thinking I'll have all week to finish GoW2, since I have free shipping on my Amazon copy of GoW 3.
 
Well I was 30 something hrs in FFXIII last night, on Chpt 9 and I was saving and my electric happened to go out in the middle of it. Just awesome! Now I'm going to just go ahead and guess that it's corrupted, and I'm going to start all over from scratch again. Man fuck that.

30 hours and only on chapter 9?

You know you don't have to grind right?
 
[quote name='Nero']I will? News to me.[/QUOTE]

Yup. If FF XIII crapped on you and you're abandoning it, you'll need to disassociate yourself from the game.

Years ago Digital Devil Saga ate my 40 hour save. You don't see me with a DDS avatar do you?

Yeah I know you don't have to grind Zew, but I actually like to. In RPGS I like to have everyone around the same level, in this case it would be CP. So I like to have all the crystals maxed and have some CP left over for the next level ect. Plus it makes the game last longer, and with the battle system in FFXIII I found it fun to grind.

True, although I'll probably come back to it sometime. When I do I'm just going to run through it without grinding at all. I have other games I need to play anyway, so it's not too big of a deal.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Wow, I could never live in the boonies like that.[/QUOTE]

It's not quite in the boonies. My grandma is retiring this year and then her and my grandpa are moving out to land they bought in West Virginia that is almost an hour from the nearest even-smaller-then-mine town. THAT's the boonies.

Every Gamestop I've ever been in has been in a mall.

I live in a New England city. If where you live is more than 15 minutes away from any kind of store you can think of, then to me it's the boonies.

I now have 17 hours in FFXIII. Right now, I could say its possibly my favorite HD game (passing my previous favorite MGS4).

I'm so excited about Modnation Racers in May. I'll buy on both PS3 and PSP. I'm glad Amazon gets the Ratchet skin, who I'm the most excited about.
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']Any interest I had in Modnation Racers was killed when I watched Giantbomb's Quick Look EX for the game. It just doesn't look like any fun.[/QUOTE]

I just think that the loading is terrible... I really hope between now and when they release it, that it's fixed.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']Soooooooooo...Call of Duty: World At War...worth it for the zombie mode alone? yes/no. circle one[/QUOTE]


No.

IMO, it's not a bad game at all. If you like FPS or CoD games, then that's the reason you should get this...not some gimmick mode that isn't the main game.
 
so then...if I want to kill zombies, but don't want to play with other people, I should get one of the Left 4 Dead games for cheap instead of WaW?

or just play more dead rising?

Wait for Dead Rising 2 and hope it's decent?

There's no new game plus? WHYYY????

Man, this game better be fan-fucking-tastic, because so far it's like they're just taking out all my favorite shit.
 
*finds chrono trigger DS in backlog*

Hey, why did I quit playing this? it's so fun!

*dies in the final form of Lavos in a ridicilous display of impossible-to-prevent cruelty*

Oh, well I'll start back at that form, right?

*realizes I have to the body/arms form again, too*

Yep, fuck this game.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Every Gamestop I've ever been in smells like sweaty armpits or roast beef.[/QUOTE]

I have literally never had an issue with Gamestop over anything ever.
 
Dog, if you want a Zombie game I would pick up Left 4 Dead 1 on the cheap, but if you're playing alone you will pretty much have to come up with meta game rules after a while to make it fun. Or just flat out play on Advanced.
 
[quote name='dallow']Hopefully.
Capcom doesn't seem to care much about it, especially with a Western dev working on it.[/QUOTE]

Previews looks solid.
What's wrong with Western Developers?
SMS is a Western Dev. So is Epic. So is Bethesda.

You know that one of the endings involves beating Lavos during that *seemingly* impossible fight, right?

I'm not sure what you're implying but I'm on the final fight of the game.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']I'm not sure what you're implying but I'm on the final fight of the game.[/QUOTE]I was talking about the time you fight Lavos during the Dark Ages. That fight is harder than the final fight.

I don't really remember that, I stopped playing this months ago. I only remember
Crono dying against him.

it's more a problem with a Japanese company handling a western dev house who is handling one of their japanese IPs. rumors say capcom's oversight of Bionic Commando is what fucked the game up.
 
fuck being poor. I want to go to the Midnight launch of GoW3, but I only got ToysRus gift cards...

Oh and ME2 Firewalkers first mission leaked (incoming "Meh...."):

I have a scheme that involves a closing blockbuster store and the gamestop 50% deal and trade two get $40 off God of War 3.

Not sure if it's worth it though. Might be able to get it for like, $30.

Edit: nah I don't give a shit enough.

I cancelled gamefly again. As usual, that service is still shit. Pay us $20 a month to get nothing, unless you add a bunch of shitty games that only cost $20 anyway. WOW!
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Was too lazy to go to the midnight. I'll pick up my GoW3 and Dragon Age expansion in the morning.[/QUOTE]

They don't have you working it tonight?

I had Heavy Rain in my Queue since launch, Dark Void (didn't really want it, but that's what gamefly is for, trying games you kinda want to play) and Saboteur, and several others, and all I kept getting was the "well, I guess" shit like Data East Classics, L4D2, Midnight Club LA, etc.

When Saboteur Dropped to $20 in the time I was waiting to get it from gamefly, I knew it was time to cancel.

I am looking forward to metro 2033. Odd russian games, yeah!

Do the side quests. They make Lavos really easy, and they are interesting too.

When you can make it to him through the Black Omen, you will have no problem with him.
 
Hoping the used Heavy Rain is still at my GS when I get there in the morning, would be nice to pick that up with the coupon/edge.
 
Yup GameFly is awful. I'd put a game in the mail Monday and wouldn't get a new one until Saturday.

Like Jer said, you might as well buy the game since they only send you games seemingly after they drop.
 
Damn, Perfect Dark XBLA out tomorrow, got Pokemon Silver, Metro 2033, and might pick up RoF too if the reviews are good. I already have a backlog growing, with games like BFBC2, ME2, FF13, etc. :/
Then, the rumor is gamestop is having their B2G1 next week, I will probably have to hit it up.
Also splinter cell conviction demo is in a few days.
