Let's see what lasts longer. My posting abilities, or the bandwidth from my website (Avatar).
On a separate note, any other rules I should know about? Obviously I've read everything in the FAQ / Terms of Service, but damn as hell the only rule I didn't read will be the one I get banned for.
I never got banned from not reading an unwritten rule. Because nobody noticed me breaking the unwritten rules.
Such as where 10 posts later I did some rather terrible key begging for a Halo 3 beta invite. ... where I ended up getting in the friends and family beta invite via different means. Funny how that works out.
I spent way too long making sure I'm not accidentally bumping the thread I got that quote from.
I really don't care to speculate on how powerful the hardware is, it has almost been a full 6 years since the Xbox 360 was first manufactured and Nintendo has shown in the past that they can produce high-performance consoles at consumer friendly prices, so I'm fairly confident about the rumoured hardwares performance.
What I am concerned about is launch support and the online infrastructure. 3DS has been my first Nintendo hardware since the SNES, and while I can appreciate the potential, the past 2 weeks haven't exactly blown my socks off (aside from the amazing screen obviously!).
GAF didn't always have a Junior Member status, right? I'm surprised I got away with some of my early posts, lol. How did mods handle bullshit from brand new members back then? Same as now (permaban)?
Depends largely on how one defines "proper gamer" (I don't - that is, I simply don't define it). I own a PS3 and a DS at the moment and get equal use out of both. On average, I'd say a greater amount of games that I'd actually wish to play are released for the DS as opposed to the PS3/360 - RPG's, namely. I don't own a single Nintendo-developed game in my entire collection, oddly enough.
Can a proper gamer ignore Nintendo games? Yes. Can they ignore Nintendo consoles? I don't think so.
There's nothing I want more after a long day at work than to spend a few hours in total isolation - there's no feeling like it. I get sort of mad when people force themselves into my schedule - "Let's see a movie!" - how does one say "No, I'd rather be alone than hang out with you" without sounding like a douche?
hello im Pablo and im probably the only member from Uruguay
as you may or may not guess gaming isnt really a mainstream thing over here, and we suffer from anything to insane game prices, (wich leads to) piracy, to late late late release dates, etc.. anyhow i manage being only a wii, ds, ps2 and pc user
im a film and music student and i really see games as an underappreciated form of art, a sentiment that is sometimes difficult to share over here, so im glad i found gaf !
this could be a good chance to apologize in advance cause im sure my english will suck sometimes...
anyway, been reading for quite a while now and im nothing but grateful to be part of such wonderful community, kudos !
I've started playing NieR a few days ago, and I absolutely love it. I just cleared the Barren Temple.
I think what I love the most about the game is the music; I've been listening to it non-stop before I even got the game. I can't stop listening to "Temple of Drifting Sands" in particular. <3
Anyhow, I have one quick question about a quest in Façade. After the quest where you look for
the missing girl (whose boyfriend confessed to having accidentally killed her), is there ever a follow-up quest that explains why she pretends that nothing is amiss, and that she has no boyfriend
?
Some of the main things I love about the quests in NieR are the little twists and the consequent dialogue between Weiss (Weiß?) and Nier. From what I hear, the game will only get better further on, so I can't wait.
Very recently watched all 3 seasons over a month or so. After the first season I thought "Wait..how did they do this for several seasons? This can't end well." and after the third season I thought "When is season 4 gonna start already?"
Hey guys. This was one of my most watched threads when I was unapproved, so I thought it'd be fitting if my first post was in this thread. Anywho, got this a few days ago because I wanted to try out the Layton games:
I know that's not technically the first game, but I figure it's just as good as starting with the first one.
I need your help, I have Phenom X4 3Ghz (stock), 4GB DDR3 ram and ATI 5830 1GB GPU. I want to update my PC so I can plan newest games on 1680X1050 on high settings.
So should I upgrade my CPU and GPU to something faster like phenom x4 3.4GHz and radeon 6870 or should i wait for new CPUs coming later this year?
From what I understand, the gameplay itself will be at 60 FPS but the UI will be at 30 FPS. I give it a pass for being an eshop game (an improved retail DS game at that).
Well, this'll be my first post since I just noticed my account has been activated
Hello all, long time lurker from Sweden here! I've got 5 minutes before my class arrives so I'll make this quick: teacher, gamer, cinephile, metalhead are the words I usually describe myself with. 26 year old and have sort of graduated and started my first real job this january. I will probably spend most of my time here in the OT section, at least until the summer holiday when hopefully I get more time to actually play games hehe.
I will never throw a whole game but to prolong some fights I will definitely lose a round or two, to make it interesting. But I always try my best to win, letting other people win when you weren't giving it your all is decieving them into thinking that they have the potential to beat you.
I think this was my first post? According to my search results, apparently I registered a neogaf account, then forgot about it for a year, then when I got really bored at work I started up.
It's crazy because an hour ago I was literally wondering what my first post was
Perfect Dark 2
My first Xbox 360 game, bought on launch day. I had a total blast in that game — and still play it today, sometimes. A proper sequel for this would be incredible.
Crackdown 3
I'd love to see Ruffian build a brand new world for Crackdown. Crackdown 2's ending
left a massive open door for Agent vs Agent warfare
, now it's just gotta happen.
Agent
Don't have a PS3 but as this is now almost certainly an Orbis title, I'm excited for it. Mostly just to see a new franchise come out of Rockstar North.
Rainbow Six: Patriots
I've been waiting for a sequel to Vegas. Terrorist Hunt on LVU Campus is probably the fondest memory I've had from this generation.
1 vs 100
This title was so promising when it came out, and Microsoft really hyped it up at the time. It's such a shame that this unique genre has just been abandoned. It needs to come back in some form.
Burnout
I miss Burnout. Need for Speed is getting stale and repetitive — and the online is nowhere near as fun as Paradise. Also, 60fps visuals.
Alan Wake 2
This game's immersion blew my mind first time around. Can't wait to see how Remedy will deliver on new hardware.
MW4
Obviously happening. Just fascinated to see how it'll perform on next-gen hardware — and how on Earth they could possibly top MW3's big city set pieces.
Space?
Also...
Whatever's being worked on at Bungie, Black Tusk, and Respawn.
Hey guys (finally approved after registering in December). I've been at this game since last weekend and I'm not seeing much improvement. I'm not a button masher or anything but sometimes I think I'd have a better win ratio if I was one, I'm currently on 25%.
Is there anything else I should learn other than combos? I'm trying to learn Litchi atm and I've also been playing as Arakune. I can get people cursed easily enough but I don't know what to do once they are.
1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Rock Band
3. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
4. Bioshock
5. Call of Duty 4
6. God of War II
7. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
8. The Orange Box
9. Ninja Gaiden Sigma
10. Motorstorm
This was from the 2007 GOTY Voting thread. The sad thing about this list is I didn't even finish Bioshock(still till this day) and placed it so high. I also omitted Halo 3 just because it broke my 360.
"You know what would be a money machine ? If they release actual Lego Vehicles with built in NFC chips, that you could build then spawn them in the game."
This is interesting coming from Kawanishi, instead of some analyst, it defintley raises the question as to whether the PSP may launch early 2005 in Japan.
I wonder where the analysts are pulling the November date from? It get's interesting from here on in, that's for sure.
SSD will improve with storage, price and availability in time which will allow people to upgrade their memory on the next Playstation console and take advantage of the superior technology. I honestly was completely fine with my 60GB storage space on my PS3 until I replaced it with my current slim.
I would prefer that SSD was brought in earlier on than keeping high capacity hard drives.
ive always felt that sf3 had some of the most unique characters in a fighting game. I guess i can understand someone not liking the design, but they played unlike alot of other generic fighters out there. just seems like the only way to satisfy people is to do what has already been done.
Hello, I'm new. I'm a 20 year old European. Don't be scared, I'll be banned within the week if I have to believe your posts so I won't trouble you that much. Anyway, I own a (PAL) Wii and a PlayStation 3 with the latter getting a lot more playtime, but that is just because I bought a Wii for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I don't have a 360 yet, I'm still waiting for that one.
the fact that i have a pal console on an american country doesnt help either..
But no lies.
ATV Wild Ride 3D was still pretty fun though.
