Play Asia has it for $50, which means it will arrive earlier than the UK copies too. In the future check out gamecafe.com.au as it does a fairly accurate rundown of where you can find the cheapest copies of games. Sometimes they have users put bullshit up but it is quick to see.DeathJr said:
I would love to see him in more stuff, he would have made a great Sherlock Holmes too. Not much of a Doctor Who fan but I really enjoyed him, although for some reason his appearance reminds me of Dylan Moran which makes me sad that we aren't getting any new shows with him.hamchan said:
Do they have strippers writing peoples names on cards and sticking them on a big map?Choc said:

Strange, usually I get their stuff in around 5-7 days while UK stuff takes 10-15 days.DeathJr said:

The last few pages in this thread is focused on getting Xenoblades running as well as possible. Maybe even post in there with any problems while running it.Jintor said:

Not cheating but it is the easy answer since they have already stood for so many years. Much more interested in games from the last decade or so as I like to acknowledge whether a game did indeed only succeed on its execution or if it had such a brilliant base idea that it will always be considered great gameplay.Box of Bunnies said:
The indie games lately have been a great example of a simple concept without the superfluous bullshit that has been attached during the AAA marketing process. I would also argue that Space Chem has such a tight, yet deep gameplay model that it will still be enjoyed in 50 years time.RandomVince said:
I'm going to cheat and say any one of the multitude of pinball machines. While most games we are familiar with now may be thought of to have gameplay that will transcend graphics and time, there were games that felt like that in the past which almost certainly haven't. Pinball, however, has largely stayed the same and a table that has decent design and a good theme can be replayed hundreds of times with next to no enjoyment lost... if anything it's increased.reptilescorpio said:
Both very correct. Deus Ex is still regarded warmly even though so much of it is covered in shit. The basic idea that Ion Storm had shines through the garbage and people still play it today and wish more games had similar gameplay systems, which is why DE3 is getting such great reviews. Not many games looked at the potential handed to the player as they move through the world and decided to do the same thing. Which fucking sucks. Also System Shock 2.RandomVince said:
Still love the hell out of Amplitude and picked up Rock Band on PSP just to relive the experience. Audiosurf will hold up well, Beat Hazard not so much since it is so freeform. Again it is because the developer has distilled and polished their concept to such a point that the gameplay allows the player the ability to create their experience. Your enjoyment is based entirely on how much you want to put into the game so if you want to relax you can, if you want to push yourself to the limits you can. Choice is a very powerful gameplay technique if implemented to the player correctly. False choice destroys any immersion a player could feel and renders the game nothing more than a product.Box of Bunnies said:
Mass Effect will be remembered for its story but the clunky (yet great) RPG/combat system will hold it back from being remembered fondly in 20 years time. The converse is ME2 which has great combat but has much less depth than it feels like it should. It will be remembered as a competent shooter but nothing more.RandomVince said:
The gameplay system of Pinball is generally the same, save the same differences between boards so I wouldn't really count them in terms of video games as games have such a wide variety.Shaneus said:

I agree with your list, but don't really agree with this phrase. On the rare occaision that the story (and/or writing) is actually good, the game becomes timeless. See stuff like Planescape: Torment. I think I will be able to play Mask of the Betrayer and Fallout: New Vegas for example in 20 years and still really enjoy them.RandomVince said:

I pretty much bought a PS3 solely so I could import the Williams Pinball Collection! They've actually announced a local release date for PS3 and 369 of sometime this month, I think... brings the delay to about a year and a half or something.Box of Bunnies said:
I keep nearly buying the Williams collection on multiple systems, but still haven't yet.Shaneus said:
Yeah Jaffe admitted that, he said the reason it was a big hit was the execution that resulted in an epic adventure which is correct.EatChildren said:
Seriously? Half Life 2? Did we play the same game? It was good sure, but story wise I'd barely put it much above something like Halo.RandomVince said:
