Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEE?

ah, the memories. gaming will never be as good as it was in '97, with MGS and FFVII.

...at least i think that's when FFVII came out.

Both of those games were incredible. I still play FFVII on my Epic every once in a while.

i can't imagine FFVII translating to a phone very well.

Works good, looks good. I also got a game-gripper which makes it easy to game on the Epic.

Who is picking up La Noire tomorrow?
yes and hell yes. grabbing it tonight

Yeah, already pre-ordered it. Also, most of the games I pre-order without first checking out usually end up sucking and I regret it, sort of. So. . . sorry guys.

Whoa.

Steam is doing daily deals now.

pissclams · « **Reply #1527 on:** May 16, 2011, 12:40:05 PM »

i'm interested to see how it plays out. it might really suck, but regardless i'm going to purchase it and find out. no multiplayer is weird.

Rockstar sandbox games are usually guaranteed to be good. It just depends on the setting and style. I think it will work well, but it's definitely the biggest leap from the ordinary.

pissclams · « **Reply #1529 on:** May 16, 2011, 01:01:59 PM »

it's not really a sandbox style game like most Rockstar games though.

reviews are coming in, IGN gave it a, 8.5

do you have to watch the clips to get the storyline of the game?? if so, i would hate this game.

There are no "clips". You interview people. It's kind of like Mass Effect with actual emotion.

Same here, there's no reason to get the 360 version if there is no multiplayer.

What makes you guys prefer it on PS3, if no multiplayer?

pissclams · « **Reply #1540 on:** May 16, 2011, 05:35:30 PM »

my PS3 HDD is empty, my Xbox HDD is almost full.

I have the opposite problem since I just bought my 360 but I just like the PS3 better for some reason.

I had 360 from like 06-08, then sold it on craigslist and bought my PS3, then I just bought the slim about a month ago. Didn't transfer anything from my old harddrive (obviously), but I could still download the stuff I previously paid for (obviously).

Oh, and I forgot how amazing Geometry Wars was.

I got the 120 GB HDD to upgrade from my 20 GB. I just got a transfer cable off ebay for a couple bucks.

I guess the 360 version comes with 3 discs? Also people stating 360 version has some issues the PS3 version does not seem to be having.

dmartin · « **Reply #1546 on:** May 17, 2011, 07:49:05 AM »

probably just rent LA Noire in a couple weeks to see if I like it. Gonna go back and replay Red Dead from the start but follow a "bad" persona....

Sounds like PSN users will be getting free games.

I hope one of the games is something that allows you to time-travel in real life so I can go back and save myself a bunch of time changing passwords.
