On this episode we talk about what Microsoft NEEDS to do with the 360 at this point and that is drop the Elite to $199. It's a year older than the PS3 and it shouldn't be the same price. Fans and Bitbaggers get into a huge debate with HHG about his claims that Heavy Rain is destroying the PC game industry. This argument goes on for about 30min. Candid Anthony comes on the show and smashes Hiphopgamer. We also discuss how Take Two is ripping us off by making us pay for the 2K10 Draft Combine making the total cost of 2K10, $65. Lastly we debate on whether or not a game should be completed 100% before it's reviewed. Also on this show:
* Why I'm not getting Batman AA until next year and why you shouldn't judge games off of videos (Torrence)
* I challenge Hiphopgamer to a Game Review Battle (Torrence)
* I ask the fans if they believe Uncharted 2 can't be done on 360 (Torrence)
* Game cost is too high (Chad B)
* Hulu possibly coming to 360 (Chad B)
* TGS possible FFVII and Kingdom Hearts announcements (Weapon X)
* GT car damage looks real (HHG)
* Possible Home update announced at TGS (HHG)
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
M$ trying to get every nickel and dime they can, they take out the PRO models so that the bots are forced to buy the not-so-elite flopbox version.
Let me see how i can put this gently so i don't hurt your feeling. PS3 slim and the price cut will not make any difference in sales nor will ps3 slim ever be where the xbox360 is at. Microsoft is in the driving seat when they feel they have done enough for this Gen of Consoles they will be happy to hand over the car keys until them your stuck in the back seat.
Shout out to Torrence, hip hop g, Weapon X and the rest of the bitbag crew, keep it up guyz.
i would listen to it but fúck dat 4 hours
