I was forced to buy an Arcade Pack last month because all of the Premiums and Elites were gone from my area. I went to 4 different stores and none of them had Premiums or Elites.
There was a shortage in my area.
2 men can marry, but they are concerned about smut in games?
You can play Shenmue 2. It also comes with Shenmue 1 as a movie.
1) The name "Shenmue" is bad for english speaking people.
2) The voice actor for Ryo was terrible. Ryo wasn't nearly as likable as Fukasan or Ren.
These were 2 very important things to get right, but they were wrong.
When I first played Shenmue, I was 1/2 way thru and some guy said that he was in China. I don't know if he was lying or pulling a prank, but when the game ended, I felt like I got cheated. (Spoiler alert: You don't go to China in Shenmue 1.)
You can get people to follow you through various methods. You can collect them and they will all follow you at the same time. You can then tell them to wait at any location. I had them wait in my home in Skingrad. I had about 6 people living there. I also stored various cool stuff that I collected in the display cases of the home.
It's a big waste of time, but it was fun.
2 weeks ago, Bryan became an official member of the 1up podcast. He was terrible. He's loud and his tongue never leaves the roof of his mouth. I could eat peanut butter while speaking and sound better than that. I pity the Insomniac podcast now.
So, I'm glad for the 1up podcast. 90% less squishy tongue.
The whole point of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it. MS has a right to add or delete info from any Wikipedia entry.
I bought the 360 HD-DVD player and I only bought 1 movie for it. (I got 6 free). Some movies cost $40!
The characters are always great in JRPGs. I just wish they would use an advanced engine, like Mass Effect. I'm sick of the fixed cameras, turn based combat, and random battles.
I stinks to lose game saves, but he should take it to this extreme.
Many reviews, including this one, say that there are frame rate issues. They are all wrong.
The issue is that the game loads in real time off of the DVD. Once the loading is complete, the frame rate recovers.
What's the difference? It is that the game runs smoothly, except during minor loading.
If it's truly a "mega" exclusive, it would have to be Final Fantasy or some other huge Sony title. You could say it's Gears 2, but it would be misleading since we all expected Gears 2 to be announced eventually.
Perhaps they should spend a little more money and buy some new games for their research.
It isn't very taxing on the CPU/GPU. The polygon count is pretty low and there isn't a ton of normal mapping. This isn't a game that should be used to compare systems.
I went to 4 different stores 3 weeks ago (in the Chicago suburbs). There were no Premiums or Elites. I was forced to buy an Arcade model and a HDD.
There is definitely a shortage of 360s. By the way, I saw 2 large displays full of PS3s at BestBuy when I bought the Arcade Pack.
When Sony says "confirmed", it means "the deadline will slip by 6 months, and it will fall short of expectations".
Play Mass Effect. By the time you finish, XBL will be fixed.
It will be a Christmas that they remember.
It is quite often where an article is posted, and then a second article is posted which refutes the first one.
N4G is just slightly more accurate than a games forum.
But I like N4G because it consolidates the best news into a single source. (It just happens to consolidate the worst, too.)
