I thought it was fine except the final battle

Spoiler

after Gaia messes with you (the 2d fight was great) could have been more epic. Rather than fighting in her it should have been a combination of the Kronos battle but with Gaia and a cool Zeus fight. That could have been crazy.

Still thought it was great though, but it could have been even better.

That's what it was supposed to be originally. They had to cut a bunch of epic shit out of the end because of time.

One of the devs rumored it could turn up as dlc, but I doubt it. Supposedly Santa Monica started the project over three times and they just ran out of time. I'm guessing Sony wouldn't let them budge on the March '10 date they announced super early in the cycle.

 

[XShagrath]

Played a couple hours of General Knox...not liking it too much right now, seeing how every quest has me driving for 5 minutes at least.:/

The lack of Fast Travel in the DLC is pretty lame. However, all of the DLCs have provided us with a ton of new content (Moxxi's Underdome is questionable). Knoxx was suberb and definitely worth the $10. I finally finished up all of the missions and achievements in it last week. Just three more achievements from Moxxi's Underdome and I'm 100% complete again.

Still no pearlescent weapons though.

I had a lot of fun with Dr Zeds. Shooting zombies in the face is always fun.

If I don't do that TRU Toy Story deal today, I'll pick up Gold. Otherwise Ill wait till Friday.

According to Keldon, Lady Gaga has sold nearly 60,000 unadjusted songs in less than a week. So she could possibly be nearing the 100,000 mark by now.

As I was discussing with Dave, Lady Gaga is good for Rock Band because it generates buzz and attracts more people to the music store who might not normally check things out. All the Gaga haters look even sillier now. :lol

I never said her music being in Rock Band would be detrimental to the franchise, I just said I hated her music.

 

[Archie]

She's no worse than Weezer, Foo Fighters or Iron Maiden.

 

[NameGenerated]

She's way worse than all three of those, yes even Weezer.

Did you honestly just put Maiden in the same class as Weezer and Foo Fighters?

I played the Gaga pack on guitar today. Seeing as the charts are fairly sparse, I had more of a chance to actually listen to it than I did when I played them on vocals last week.

HMX mixes always make everything sound better. I wasn't horrified with what I was listening to, and could see myself playing them again sometime. Same could be said with the Subways stuff, which sounded pretty good as well.

The animation/venue track was also pretty awesome. There was one song "Just Dance(?)" where they had the drummer doing one verse, and I thought that was pretty awesome.

One last thing is I can't really take any artist seriously that uses their name in multiple songs as part of the lyrics. Even using it in one song is stretching it, but Metallica did it on Whiplash and old Metallica is awesome.

October - secretly enjoys playing Gaga
Cahill - enjoyed playing Gaga songs
Shag - is warming up to Gaga songs

The Gaga haters are dropping like flies. :lol

 

[XShagrath]

I never said I'm warming up to Gaga. I was basically saying that HMX are gods and I will play anything in game and find something enjoyable out of it.

Don't try to put words in my mouth, troll.

 

[Archie]

I wasn't horrified with what I was listening to, and could see myself playing them again sometime.

[XShagrath]

And there aren't any songs in RB that I wouldn't play again. That's why HMX are gods. I might not want to play something on guitar again, but I might enjoy it on vocals or drums.

Gaga's songs already had perfect production. Stop trying to shift the credit for how awesome her songs are on to Harmonix.

Fine. Then it's the interactivity that makes it better. :bow: HMX :bow2:

When do you start work?

Soon?

I really hope so.

Silver is interactive, doesn't help it.

:bow Gaga, :bow

April 12, BUT DON'T FRET. RPGOTY comes to my doorstep in 24 hours so I probably won't be posting as much!

 

[XShagrath]

Speaking of fret..

Fret Nice was a horrid piece of shit.

I'll go play Silver right now. I'll find something fun and report back.

Just admit Bad Romance is an awesome song and be done with it. You can pass on Just Dance and maybe Monster, but Bad Romance is perfect!

Oh god. Fret Nice sucked. Good thing I didn't buy it. Ugh.

 

[XShagrath]

Just played Silver on guitar. I liked the little YOYOYBRBRYR part. Do you hate it because the fast parts fuck your GS? Or is it because there's only one 3-note chord?

Also, standing makes everything more awesome (except drums).

 

[birdman]

I'm tired of all the little cocksuckers in Chapter 10 in FFXIII that transform and make it take twice as long to kill them.

 

[Cahill]

GTFO. I said no such thing. My kid likes the tunes and I enjoyed seeing her have a good time with them. As a plasti-guitar player, I prefer more interesting charts.

It's like a Mario level with nothing to do but run to the right for 2 minutes. Yawn.

 

[Ridley327]

So it's a DIMPS-developed Sonic game?

Those things! I hate those things. I actually started to hate those, um, Culturally Insensitive Birds. Especially if there are 3 attacking. Bitches.

Can't wait for Sonic 4!

 

[Terrordactyl]

The biggest shocker for me in Bioshock 2 was

Spoiler

the fact that Sinclair didn't fucking backstab you!

On GoW3

Spoiler

I thought the ending was lame, the in Kratos head stuff, really reminded me of Max Payne too. I hope they actually do release the alternate ending.

The video doc's were awesome, some of the best I've ever seen, everyone should watch them.

 

[Ridley327]

2K Marin wouldn't have risked that, I think; it's way too close to what happens in Bioshock 1 for fans to not cry "rehash".

 

[Terrordactyl]

I know, but don't tell me you weren't expecting it! I hope they stop with the "tour guides" if they continue the series (which is most assured after seeing the sales)

 

[birdman]

Those things! I hate those things. I actually started to hate those, um, Culturally Insensitive Birds. Especially if there are 3 attacking. Bitches.

The Behemoths are just as annoying too. Don't kill them in enough time and they alter their form and get all their health back.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Grind the shit out the wolves, the flan don't give enough XP. After about an hour of grinding those Behemoths go down in like 45 seconds. At least thats what I did. I got about 80,000 CP for about 2 hours of grinding.

Don't ever let those behemoths stand up with their saws :lol When that happens I usually just let them kill me because it feels like a waste of time. I kinda hate that there isn't a run option anymore. So I just die and 'retry' in place of running.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

The Behemoths can be annoying, but with Diversity->fill Stagger to 50%->Relentless Assault->Heal as necessary, they're easy. Plus they don't do status effects so I don't have to worry about my damn medic getting silenced then killed.

Also, WOO-HOO! HeartGold has Growlithe!

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Im so sick of Chuck in HeartGold. Stupid Poliwrath has been throwing me around like a rag

Edit: DAMMIT JET STOP CHANGING YOUR AVATAR

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Ha! Man, I forgot what types Poliwrath was. I think I'll get HG today before my mom's birthday dinner.

Also, I have no idea what you mean.

Yeah, the saw part is exactly what I'm talking about. Pain in the ass when you get to it.

Killing it isn't the hard part, getting a decent amount of stars from the encounter once they change.

I honestly wasn't.

 

[Ashour]

Anyone else beat GoW3 and

Spoiler

think the ending was uber lame, rushed, and edited for time

? Watching the making-of you unlock pretty much confirmed

Spoiler

they cut out the whole ending with a couple weeks left until beta

.

Spoiler

I also think the ending was underwhelming, it wasn't epic enough and that lost in the dark part was pretty lame.

I thought it was fine except the final battle

Spoiler

after Gaia messes with you (the 2d fight was great) could have been more epic. Rather than fighting in her it should have been a combination of the Kronos battle but with Gaia and a cool Zeus fight. That could have been crazy.

Still thought it was great though, but it could have been even better.

That would've been a more fitting end to this awesome trilogy.

That's what it was supposed to be originally. They had to cut a bunch of epic shit out of the end because of time.

One of the devs rumored it could turn up as dlc, but I doubt it. Supposedly Santa Monica started the project over three times and they just ran out of time. I'm guessing Sony wouldn't let them budge on the March '10 date they announced super early in the cycle.

The directer said that if they went with that the rest of the rest of the game won't be as good as it is now since that part would've taken a lot of resources, time and employees just to make it happen not to mention testing, etc... and they would've spent less time on the other parts of the game.

I think the end product is amazing as it is now but I was expecting a bit more I guess.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Its easily the best in the series I wasn't let down at all. I need to try the arenas though I spent about 2 hours watching the docs last night.

I wonder what's next from santa monica?

 

[ravien56]

Friend codes for Pokemon. List them please.
Also, I had a dream where I went to Archie's house and we played RB and by the end of the night, I found out he sold weed then I woke up. Weird shit.

The only dreams I've had about GAF are nightmares where I've been banned :-/

You know you can pause and hit "retry" and you get warped to right before the battle right?

Also 80,000 CP doesn't even get you 1 and a half crystals on the final level of the Crystarium.

 

[AMUSIX]

Mail Call...

The second in the two parter...oh, and the album was received incredibly well, with most reviews (and the band themselves) praising the incredible compositional skills of the artists.


Also, it's still weird to have pot be legal...Archie selling weed still makes me think "hmmm, wonder who his source is?"

 

[MrOctober]

Dante's Inferno is 38 bucks on Amazon right now if anyone cares. Tekken 6 is 17 bucks as well. That's a lightning deal though so it'll go quick.
