I would like to play this game, but I no longer have a 3DS. Oh well.

In other words, IT'S TOMORROW AND I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT OMG! http://kotaku.com/59...-beta-this-week Thank God Vita owners can get in on the action without PS Plus. <3 EDIT: After watching the video, I cannot even tell if Vita owners get it at the same time as PS Plus users, or when everyone gets it on the 23rd. I swear to God, this wouldn't be the first time some of Kotaku's writers dropped the ball and made things very misleading.

Nah, bruh, you just may be weak. Or I'm resilient to such things, but... who knows!? Duel me, good sir.

That's scary? Huh. -- Transmitted by an ancient satellite from across the cosmic web. Or my cellphone, if you prefer.

Not saying I'll do it right now, but does anyone like the idea?

It's a great game for the PSP, and I'm just now playing it for the first time on my Vita. What I really like about it, is it's basically what you can call Square Enix's Monster Hunter, so to speak; honestly, it's almost as if it's built atop the same engine(and if it actually is, I wouldn't be surprised). I need to be honest, though: this game is far better than any Monster Hunter I've played, by far. The controls, the combat... the everything, is not the same clunky experience I've had with every Monster Hunter game(they are really clunky, but still fun!). Now, the combat, especially, is the bee's knees! Each encounter with an enemy brings you to a predefined map to fight said enemy(or a group of them) in, which really is a major improvement over fighting enemies on the level map like in Monster Hunter, as you have much more room to move around in. Not to mention, the combat of this game is very fast-paced and fluid, unlike with Monster Hunter. Going more into how the combat is between Monster Hunter and Lord of Arcana... Monster Hunter: These games have some fun combat, sure, but it's also really frustrating at the same time. Attacking enemies with a combo will have you swinging against nothing once they decide to jump out of your way, and you can't just stop right away; it takes a second or so before you actually manage to stop the combo. This even opens you up to attack from the enemy, which is not good; once they hit you, you fall right on your ass, and it usually takes a second or so to get back up into the action, sometimes allowing them to even hit you once more before you get back up, making the process repeat. The game's combat is also hurt by the lack of a targeting system, which would effectively eliminate(not entirely, but almost) the problem described above if implemented properly. Just, overall, I've found things to be clunky/unresponsive/whatever in the heat of battle. Lord of Arcana: The combat of this game is, like I've said, really fast-paced and fluid. The wide open maps to fight in make all the difference, and it also has a targeting system(think Zelda's Z-Targeting) which allows for you to land precise blows on your enemies, whether it be from your weapon or magic attacks; switching between enemies with said targeting system is also really simple, only requiring the press of a button(or in my case, the flick of an analog stick, since the Vita can assign buttons to its extra stick for PSP games), making you easily able to weaken/kill other foes in the heat of battle. There also seems to be finishing moves, which are cool. Anyways, I'm sure my description of combat made these two games seem like night and day compared to one another, and not at all very similar like I implied in the opening of this topic, but that's where most of the core differences like: in combat. Overall, I feel if there were ever a "sister" to Monster Hunter, so to speak, with an awesome fantasy setting, this would be it. All of the vast similarities in the two game's engines make it seem as such(don't worry, there's comparison pictures below), and they're both truly great games to begin with. And trust me, I know: Monster Hunter is meant to be played how it is, it's supposed to be more realistic, but the clunkiness can turn some people off(like me, but not entirely). But if you want a game that is very similar, but is much more fast-paced/fluid, Lord of Arcana is a damn nice game to have! Comparison Pictures: That is all I feel like listing, but you get the idea. And trust me, they also play and act the same in many respects, so screenshots don't tell all here. Anyways, if you've played either, which do you prefer? For me, it's Lord of Arcana.

I honestly don't know. Have you tried using a clean debug ROM? What graphics plugin do you use? What are your debug ROM's settings?

All I can tell you, is it's a problem on your end. If even one other person can run it fun(me), you're doing something very wrong.

Eh, doesn't really have too many good deals at all. I would honestly consider free games with PlayStation Plus a good deal, especially compared to anything I've seen on Xbox Live. Anyways, Xbox to me is now a play-L4D2-with-Shadow machine. EDIT: Brohoof! (\ (almost forgot to return it, lol) -- Transmitted by an ancient satellite from across the cosmic web. Or my cellphone, if you prefer.

Okay, I've made a decision here: I will get another 360, but only to play L4D2 with Shadow, as well as play any exclusives that may interest me. Though, honestly, I'm getting my new PS3 first(whenever that may be). -- Transmitted by an ancient satellite from across the cosmic web. Or my cellphone, if you prefer.

Glad to see it released to the public. You did a great job. :3 -- Transmitted by an ancient satellite from across the cosmic web. Or my cellphone, if you prefer.

So, I'm about an hour and a half in, and only have To Coool and I believe Octorock watching.Anyone else want to tune in? EDIT: Nevermind. I ended it early, seeing as how they both left. I'm not even going to bother with a stream like this if nobody's watching...

I've started! https://new.livestream.com/accounts/53862/ps2marathon

I am very tired, and need to take a nap. I may oversleep and miss the deadline for this stream. Regardless, I'm going to stream. UPDATE: I decided to change things up with the time: It's now going to start at 5:30 PM PDT(pacific daylight time), rather than EDT(eastern daylight time). Much more convenient for me, and will actually allow me decent sleep, seeing as how it's going to be streaming on my time. This new Livestream is weird, and does not allow me to set for other timezones, so the countdown still says EDT, though it's basically my timezone translated into EDT. (if you even get what I mean, bad at explaining right now)

He did his service, and did it like a boss.

That's pretty damn amazing.

Have a very happy one, indeed! http://www.searchenginejournal.com/the-barcode-turns-60-years-old/49457/

See that, kids? This is what you're really getting into when you enter the military; nothing like how it happens in Call of Duty. You get shot, there's a very slim chance you'll make it out alive, and your health will not just regenerate. Anyways, I salute this guy. He did a great job.

- click the above image to go to the event page - I will be playing a wide assortment of PS2 games starting at 5:30 PM, all the way to 10:30 PM(all times PDT). Sounds like loads of fun, to me! Please, join me, so you can watch me play titles such as: - Drakan: The Ancients' Gates - -Jak & Daxter, Jak 2, Jak 3 - - Killzone - - Shadow of the Colossus - - Sly Cooper: Thievius Raccoonus - - And more! - I would be so happy if you tuned in! Also, I feel obligated to tell you: if you wish to watch, you must create an account on the website, but don't worry! It's simple, fast, and most importantly, free. https://new.livestream.com/join Do you want a high resolution version of the event poster? It took me a while to get perfect, and went through many revisions, so I'm not letting it go to waste!

Wow, you're so cool! You totally did a good job mocking one of the GCN's management, Shadow Fire, with your dumb statement. And for your information, I will still be playing with what you call "720shit-p" when I get my PS3, so you're coming pretty close to offending me. And honestly, are graphics EVERYTHING to you? Huh? If so, I suggest you learn to appreciate games for what matters: the gameplay. And let me also say, that while there's a difference between 30 and 60 FPS, it's by no means a huge difference like many claim it to be. Another thing worth noting, is how there are plenty of console games which run at 60 FPS. Sheesh... good job, man. Oh hey, I also remembered the fact how many console games still look amazing, even when compared to their PC counterparts(and also compared to PC exclusives), so they are certainly not "20 generations behind". That's just crazy talk. (you obviously think graphics matter more than the actual game itself, and that saddens me) Also, to the administration: If this topic gets derailed into console bashing garbage anymore past this point, lock my topic. Please.

I dunno what to say, honestly. Going to be honest, I may get a 360 again one day, even if not for cheap; I'm just really, really upset with the console for now, and will be for a while. Getting one again just may not happen for a while. If I do get another? I'll gladly play with you.

Sometimes, I wish I could do the same, but my PC is crap for gaming(most of the time). So for me, my best bet is a PS3 and my other consoles. Besides, I love console gaming tons to begin with. Lord almighty. Microsoft is looking worse to me every day. .-.

Added in a part to my rant I foolishly forgot to mention(anger had me skip over it when typing), so for your convenience: "For the time being, I'm sticking with PSN, as it's FREE, even for online play. Plus, if you pay for PlayStation Plus(the premium service), you actually get plenty of actual, worth-while benefits, unlike with Xbox Live Gold. Most awesome being FREE AAA games. Yep, free fucking games. I'd love to see Microsoft do that with their premium plan, but they never will."
