Playing Folklore while waiting for Devil May Cry 4 to come out, which is today so I need to go pick it up.

Kitsunexus · 02/06/2008, 02:47 PM

Why don't they just call the series "Devil is an Emo Bitch" or "Awwww does widdle Devil need a hanky?".

They convey the title just as well.

GUTS · 02/06/2008, 08:05 PM

Just picked Devil May Cry 4 up today, its fucking awesome.

Turbo D · 02/06/2008, 08:38 PM

Just got back from Fry's and I'm installing dmc4 to my ps3 hdd as we speak!

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 08:55 PM

Installing? Why?

Turbo D · 02/06/2008, 09:32 PM

It made me. Apparently it runs off of the hdd. Many ps3 games can be installed to the hdd, but this is the first for me that required it. Devil May Cry 4 is super bad-ass!!! A must for any ps3 or 360 owner.

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 09:46 PM

The demo was alright. It's a $20 game. I'll get it when it drops to that.

Keranu · 02/07/2008, 01:02 AM

Jeez, console games have to install now? May as well let you replace parts too and have your own computer.

Joe Redifer · 02/07/2008, 02:41 AM

No, Capcom is just being gay. Some games like Time Crisis 4 give you the option to install a large amount of data onto the HD specifically to speed up load times, but it seems to play quickly enough without doing that.

Even Halo 2 on the Xbox auto-installed. Took forever.

ps3 hdd is replaceable with any 2.5" sata hdd. My 60gig ps3 will someday be a 320gig ps3

Joe Redifer · 02/07/2008, 02:50 AM

But how will you keep the PS3 OS and user settings, etc?

guyjin · 02/07/2008, 09:49 PM

I brought my Duo over to my brother's apartment last night. We played sapphire together for a while; after we got tired of being beaten by easy mode

we played some buster brothers (he commented that it was 'weird'), a little cratermaze, timeball, and then a lot of alien crush; we had an old-skool style high score contest.

my brother's boyfreind (my brother's a wow widow... and gay) chided me for telling my brother to press 'start', rather than 'run'. guess I'm still not hardcore-turbo enough.

Kitsunexus · 02/07/2008, 09:54 PM

The ORIGINAL UT, which is the BEST. My FAVORITE GAME EVER.

Apparently the console does all of the work for you. All you have to do is swap the drives. You can easily back up your game saves to a flash drive or portable hdd before the swap.

The sequel TRON mentioned is also awesome on the IIGS. You got a real one or playing via emulation?

I love my Apple IIGS. It's my second electronic love, after consoles.

guyjin · 02/23/2008, 08:39 AM

yeah, I wish I had a IIGS. That and an MSX.

I need to go to more school auctions or something.

Yeah I got a real one. I don't have many games for it though. Hopefully when my USB to serial adapter shows up in the mail I can use ADT Pro and transfer some disk images over.

Revenge is good, but the graphics really went downhill on Revenge, though I haven't seen the 360 version, which I'm sure is quite good. It is fun though. However, B3 Takedown is my favourite hands down. The graphics are sharp and it's intense. The F1 car hotlap is absolutely crazy. I think that's why I like B3 more than Revenge - you can't hit ANY cars that don't have the arrow on top. Makes the game more intense and hard IMHO.

EXACTLY! It makes it more like a game instead of some (very high production) software toy.

After four months of playing 2-3 games a day I finally got A Hole In One on the 12th green of Seaside.
See Joe it is possible

but they sure are stingy bastards about giving them out. This also raised my best
score to 17 under.

You realy need to make a 1cc video of that

Joe Redifer · 02/24/2008, 12:29 AM

Nice! With a score like that, 1cc is obvious. Too bad the NG doesn't save your score to the Sega Back-Up RAM cart or something.

MVS does save it score but with the use of a battery.

Kind of shame the aes lacks that yeah there is the memory card,but all that does is save your place in the game.

natethegreat82 · 02/27/2008, 09:24 PM

Today my SuperGrafx showed up and I played the three games I got with it: Aldynes, Battle Ace and Granzort. I also tried out all my PC Engine games with it as well. It's a neat machine, and a much nicer alternative to my Hucard converter.

Ceti Alpha · 02/28/2008, 09:02 PM

Nice. How do you like the SG games?

nat · 02/29/2008, 12:54 AM

Ha! Those are the same games I got with my SGX. All the SGX games are great.

Relics - I beat the PC-8801 and MSX2 version in the same day. A rather odd game where you begin as a ghost searching for your real body. At the same time you explore a strange ruin called Relics. The action is slow paced and there's no BGM except during the intro and ending. Seems like a really boring game at first but it's one those that somehow keeps you playing until you finish it.

Snatcher - I finally finished playing through the original PC-8801. Best version I've played yet.

NecroPhile · 02/29/2008, 09:42 AM

Cotton - Very cute artwork, funny cinemas, catchy tunes, and a bipolar witch. I'm really digging this one, especially after the recent crapfest.

Same here. I was fully expecting it to end up in the collection and rarely be played (*cough* waste of money *cough*), but now I'm pretty sure that it'll be in the rotation on a regular basis.

It's been a while, but I think it's after stage 6.

Right now I'd have to say that Aldynes is my favourite, followed by Granzort and Battle Ace. Now I just need to track down 1941, Ghouls 'N Ghosts and Darius Plus to complete my SuperGrafx game collection.
