Post by: joe on Mar 15, 2005, 01:41:56 AM
I already flushed some dollats on a DS, so I'm just going to sit back and see what develops. The only game that's really tempting me is Metal Gear Ac!d, but it's also repulsing me with its turn-based card-game mechanics.

WHAT SAY YE?!!??!!?

I've already paid mine off.  Hard call on what game I'll get Thursday after next.

Title: Hey, hey, who's grabbing a PSP?
Post by: joe on Mar 15, 2005, 02:05:51 AM
You mean VERSUS-ah!

Nah, DS is pretty bad. I mean, it's neat, but nobody's really doing anything with that neatness. I imported Wario and played the shit out of it, but it ain't exactly what you'd call massive.

Now I wait for Castlevania.

I was hoping Mario Kart and Metroid would be out by now--but both have been pushed back until Fall...  That pissed me off to no degree.

Regardless, I eagerly await portable Devil May Cry goodness.

Post by: joe on Mar 15, 2005, 02:13:44 AM
Hmm. The bundled Metroid demo left a bad taste in my mouth, but Kart should be good. If it's not, fuck, what a waste.

I need to get back to DMC3 this week. Otherwise I fear I may never play it again.

No, it's just that every time I buy a new game I play it hardcore at first, then let it sit. As days and then weeks go by, it becomes less and less likely that I'll ever pick it up again. I've got about a dozen of them now that I've yet to finish. Hell, I've probably logged three hours total on Halo 2's solo mode.

It varies.  Sometimes I'll find good deals, my local Wal*Mart will often cut newer games down to $15 just because they don't have the space for them, but outside of two or so impossible to find games I refuse to buy pre-owned.

Probably tommorrow since 1) I'm tired and 2) I'm working on another assignment.  She gives us multiple topics and whatever I can find the most information on the quickest is the one I write on.  I'm thinking either the Athenian/Spartan comparison topic or the advantages/disadvantages of the three types of lives humans choose to lead according to Aristotle.

Not that I'm counting on it, but she takes her time grading things and the submission (it's an online submission thingy) for it is still open, it just says 'Late' in red.  Might as well do a paper and turn it in anyway.  Maybe she won't deduct too much.

So apparently Ac!d is a wash-out. I kind of figured as much from watching gameplay videos, but I was hoping it would still manage to pull through somehow. Since it was the only game I was really looking forward to, I think I'll pass on the PSP for now. Which is also what I should have done with the DS, but that road's already been traveled.

And now supposedly it's not such a bad game from more reviews pouring in. Gamespot liked it, but IGN hated it or something.

So, how is the PSP, fellas? God, I wish I could somehow justify getting one. I have a Gameboy Pocket, Color, Advance, and Advance SP, and they're pretty much sitting around not getting any use. But... I have pretty much gotten bored of the current games I have for them...

How the fuck can I justify asking my parents to spend 250 dollars on another handheld? ... Bah I must avoid temptations -_-;;

Actually, if more of my damn friends got PSP's I'd be more inclined to get one... There is a disturbing lack of handheld multiplayer at my school...

I'm enjoying mine.  No visible dead pixels or charging errors (though I bet the majority of these claims come from die-hard Nintendo fanboys who don't even have the unit), and both Ridge Racer and Wipeout Pure are hella fun.  Ape Escape is okay.  It's also alot of fun to have someone ask you "hey, what game is that!"  Only to flip the machine around to reveal a hardcore porno on the screen.  Hopefully they'll come out with a higher capacity battery though, I got 6 hours on my first charge...so who knows.  I turned the screen's brightness down to setting one, I'll see how that changes things up.  I'm also hoping that someone comes out with a way to emulate SNES games on the system...that would be so damn boss.
