Ghost Train Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 The hack wars continued, as Square Enix becomes the next victim: Link . Having wasted 3 years of my life on FFXI, and personally experienced repeated account breaches, this really does not surprise me.
mikeszekely Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 None of the stores in my area have a 3DS out for display. Well, I saw my cousin today who happened to have bought one, and he was kind enough to show it to me. The only game he had was Pilotwings, which seemed pretty boring, but the 3D effect was pretty cool. I mean, at first it was blurry and hard to focus, but I eventually found a sweet spot. It was really interesting that, instead of popping out like a 3D movie, that it sort of falls inward. I could see the 3D effect being pretty cool in some games (like the Ace Combat game they're making), but I could also see myself turning 3D off to save batter on others. I was also surprised at how heavy it was. When he handed it to me, I asked him if he had that Nyko battery case on the back of it or something, and he told me that it was just the system. Still, while the tech is neat and while it does feel less... plasticky, I guess, than the DS Lite, I'm not convinced it's worth $250, especially with absolutely no games I want for it yet. Maybe I'll feel differently when Ace Combat or a new Castlevania comes out for it... and maybe I'll get lucky and find a used one or a price drop by then.
kaiotheforsaken Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I personally love my 3DS, it's probably my favorite handheld of all time and I've been playing them since Gameboy. I will agree that its current library is a bit lacking, but I had similar feelings about the original DS and ultimately loved that system as well. IMO the tech is cool, and the games coming out between now and holiday time are well worth the cost of the unit. That being said, I'm kind of a handheld nut, and I do love most things Nintendo does (the Wii hasn't been played since Zelda though).

eugimon Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Anyone playing Infinity Blade on iOS? played for a while when it first came out but got bored with it and now I can't get into it again despite all the new content.
Archer Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Has any(every)one heard about Final Fantasy XIII - 2? What in the world? I was just browsing ebgames to be released lists and that popped up. I didn't know that they were making a sequel.... Why oh why can't sqaure enix focus on Versus 13 instead of milking 13

Agent ONE Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 played for a while when it first came out but got bored with it and now I can't get into it again despite all the new content. Give it another try. I am having SO much fun with it.

Why oh why can't sqaure enix focus on Versus 13 instead of milking 13 Square has been talking about making 3 games based around XIII since the announced it. They really should just cut the crap and remake 7 and 8...and 9. Square could make enough money off those (and probably just 7) to fund 10 projects.
David Hingtgen Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 A remake of 8 better have an entirely new magic/levelling system...
Gaijin Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 A remake of 8 better have an entirely new magic/levelling system... Thank you.
David Hingtgen Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 What, you mean drawing a rare spell 55 times from a boss, then beating it for 0 exp wasn't fun?
Gaijin Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 What, you mean drawing a rare spell 55 times from a boss, then beating it for 0 exp wasn't fun? I never finished VIII because of the drawing spells.
kaiotheforsaken Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I kinda liked the draw system to be honest, I can certainly understand why people wouldn't though. As for the 7 remake, I think the should find a way to roll Crisis Core in with it somehow. It makes the storyline of 7 so much more cohesive. But if they HD remake it like other companies are starting to do with PSP games that'd work too. On that note, anyone who missed MGS: Peacewalker, but has a PS3 will get a chance to play it on your home console.
kanedaestes Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Catwoman a playable character and not just in special missions but the actual story in Batman: Arkham City http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6316489/batman-arkham-city-updated-hands-on-preview?tag=topslot;thumb;1
Ghost Train Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I loved FF8, would be happy if they remade 7 or 8. I give Square creativity points for wanting to try something new with the draw system, but it just felt awkward. Having replayed both 7 and 8 a few times over the years, I have to admit I like 8 better - just can't beat the OMG plot twists and revelations - "U MEAN ELLONE IS SQUALL'S ADOPTED SISTER AND LAGUNA IS SQUALL'S FATHER, WHO WAS ALSO IN LOVE WITH RINOA'S MOTHER??" ... and Ragnarok was the best looking FF airship hands down.
mikeszekely Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Bah. I've long ago lost any interest in any Final Fantasy past VI.
eugimon Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Bah. I've long ago lost any interest in any Final Fantasy past VI. this. I bought FF8 off of the PSN store to play and I just couldn't get into it at all. I think I'm over my infatuation with JRPGs for good now. I just don't fancy long, pointless walks, back and forth on a little trail that is hidden along pretty scenery. Waiting for the random, tedious battle featuring a complicated battle system that is complicated just to be complicated. I just feel like the entire JRPG genre decided that the FF7 model was the one that everyone liked so they just set about remaking it, over and over and over and over again.
David Hingtgen Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I still really like FF X. Never did replay 12. Will probably replay 13 some day. Loved FF9. (except for the villain--and really, much of the story/plot-- it's more like, I loved 9's design/theme/music/art/style)
mikeszekely Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I still really like FF X. Never did replay 12. Will probably replay 13 some day. Loved FF9. (except for the villain--and really, much of the story/plot-- it's more like, I loved 9's design/theme/music/art/style) I liked VII, VIII, IX, and X enough to finish them, but almost certainly never replay them. I couldn't even finish XII or XIII.
kaiotheforsaken Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 XII was one of my favorites. I was pretty on the fence about it when it came out, but I really loved once I sat down and played it. I still have a soft spot for JRPGs, there is a lot I do like about them. It really just depends on what I'm in the mood to play. I just cant figure out why Square wont bite the bullet and remake some of the most loved games in the FF series. I mean it seems like we've had about 14 remakes of 3 (or six depending on where you're from).
bluemax151 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 wait, what? EBgames still exists? The website does but it's the same as Gamestop's. Until about 2(?) years ago some of the stores still had EB signage in my area though. Bah. I've long ago lost any interest in any Final Fantasy past VI. 9's pretty good too but most people complain it's too easy with the exception of Ozma. For the record this is coming from someone who started with FF1 I give credit to X-2 for having a job system again even if it was a "dress sphere system" and I guess 12's attempt to recreate WRPG's script system was admirable as well. Not a huge fan of either game though.

If things go they way they have been the past couple weeks, i wouldn't be surprised if Sony gets hacked while the package goes live or if the package gets postponed until August Edited June 3, 2011 by Archer
David Hingtgen Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 So prophetic--they were just hacked again, with another million emails/passwords/birthdays/addresses posted in plain text. http://money.cnn.com/2011/06/02/technology/sony_lulz_hack/index.htm?source=cnn_bin&hpt=hp_bn3
Keith Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 First pre-E3 news is out. MGS 2, 3 & Peacewalker HD collections with redrawn art & HD resolution. ZOE 1 & 2 same. I'm giddy as all hell. The release will be for both PS3 & 360.
Archer Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 For those that haven't heard, Welcome Back package is live, though if I were you, I'd wait a few days before trying to use it. Some of my free stuff disappeared when I exited the store to try and delete some other stuff to make room for the new free games. When I got back to the store, my free PS3 game tab 1 disappeared, so I could only download a single game (inFamous). If anyone knows a fix, please post a solution
kanedaestes Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) It happened to me too. Edited June 3, 2011 by kanedaestes
kanedaestes Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 If you lose your free games... "If this happened, go to the XMB and under the PlayStation Network column, go to Account Management>Transaction Management>Services List>SCEA Promotions to download the game for that first slot."
kaiotheforsaken Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Duke Nukem Forever demo hit for those that had it on pre-order. Played it a bit last night and I'm on the fence. It was enjoyable, and nostalgic but it didn't grab me like say...the Bulletstorm demo. Granted Bulletstorm died within 10 days or so after purchase so that doesn't mean anything. I dunno, it just didn't seem as over the top in both content or gameplay as I might have thought. Though this may be intentional because anyone could pre-order and get a code for the demo. We'll just see though, I'll give it another playthrough or two before I decide. Super stoked about the ZOE and MGS HD collections, it will finally give me a reason to dust the PS3 off and use it. I'm also hoping this E3 gives us some concrete info on Last Guardian.
