Support NeoGAF

[PepsimanVsJoe]

There's no one playing? Really? There were players shortly after LP2's launch on the 360 side for me this year. :/
---
Edit: You might want to add "No subtitles" to the case against on Ass Creed 1. That was truly my "WTF" moment on booting up the game.

Just assuming here. Once I find some cheap-ass XBL gold I'll give LP Colonies another purchase. If nothing else the additional singleplayer modes are a hoot as one of them is basically unlimited rapid-fire ammo. Hell I'd love to see gobs of people still playing the game. Humans Vs Akrids was such a great if kind of unbalanced mode(it sort of went like either the Akrids got the early advantage OR they did something dumb like fall in a cliff OR some humans found mechs with pile-drivers equipped..those babies are amazing.)

Kind of weird that Ass1 has no subtitles though. Ass2Ass has them and since everyone has a chance of slipping into Italian for no real reason it was pretty useful.

You can play it online through GfWL unlike paying $50-60 a year for XBL with the 360 version. :lol

Hah..no way would I pay $50-60 for XBL. PC option is out though cause it would require a whole new computer and everything. I've never been much for PC gaming in general(aside from the older stuff through GOG and whatnot) so eh probably not worth it for a $10 game.

Well, the playerbase is SMALL, but the last time I checked (360 is busted so I need to get it fixed/self-repair) back in May there was still players.

Not sure if they were PC or 360 players as I didn't check their cards, but there was about 5-10 games at a time on.

That said, you should just get the PC version if you can find it cheap. You can play it online through GfWL unlike paying $50-60 a year for XBL with the 360 version. :lol

I 100% Dual Hearts about 3 years ago. I dug the variety and the mechanics were pretty decent. At the time, I remember enjoying easy difficulty because I think I'd just finished off God Hand and Gradius V. Definitely worth it.

Any words on:
Trapt
Shining Force Neo

Stranglehold CE - 9.99

Shining Force Neo

Shining Force Neo is fun, but pretty generic.

Trapt is just really weird. It's like you run from slow people in a small contained area, set traps, and lure them into them until they die. I finished it; not sure why.

I enjoyed Deception back in the day so I'll get ahold of Trapt.

Yea, Shadowrun is not free to play on 360, it was for a few months after MS made GFWL free in 2008. When the NXE Dashboard came out it took away the free multiplayer on 360.

Definitely worth getting though, I think it is the best multiplayer shooter on 360, it has a dedicated community, but new players are always there as well. My suggestion, play it with friends and learn together.

 

[HCgamer]

Thanks for the thread many great suggestions here Gamestop and gamestop.com is awesome for cheap hard to find and sometimes not so cheap hard to find classics if you do not mind incomplete or disc cart only games I do not care. Lately I have been building up my ps2 library Onimusha 3 $4.99, klonoa 2 $4.99, capcoms classics 1 and 2 $9.99 each, outrun 2006 $3.99, onimusha $1.99, maximo $2.99.

Wait what?

 

[Booshka]

Wait what?

Shadowrun is Cross-Platform on Vista and Xbox 360. Games for Windows Live was the service on Vista you had to use to play; GFWL cost $50 a year when it came out. That didn't work, obviously, so Microsoft made GFWL free in early 2008.

When MS made GFWL free, it had a side effect of making all Cross-Platform titles free to play online (Silver Account) on Xbox 360 as well. This lasted about 5 months until Microsoft released the New Xbox Experience Dashboard in Fall 2008, which restored all online games on 360 to requiring Gold to play online.

It is still free to play on PC however, and even if you want to play with a controller, PC is the better option for performance benefits and the price is right. Note: The Cross-Platform play still works as intended despite the fact that it is paid online for Xbox 360 and free-to-play on PC.


Sorry for sounding like a Press Release. :lol

[charlequin]

Damn, I overpaid like three weeks ago for Guy Isometric on DS. :lol But I didn't get Qubed yet! And I missed out on Nier for cheapo, so maybe I'll get a good shot at that now too.

It's so sad, other than a few obvious things that one is unlikely to just find randomly in the bargain bins (I don't actually own Silent Hill 2) and a few very minor possible pickups (I still need a copy of Primal) I'm pretty much done with the PS2. I scan the PS2 cheapo bin now and I never find anything anymore. :lol

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Reminder: Another B2G1 free weekend starts tomorrow(if you're a powered-up member well hopefully you went today).

Make it a very Cavia Christmas by getting Nier and both Drakengards.

Oops I suck: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=415418

http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/Produ...oduct_id=71020
The case for - Part RTS part Tower Defense part beatemup part fighter part of parts
The case against - Can you make sense of all that? I certainly can't.

Guilty Gear 2 is one of, if not the best console action strategy games I've ever played. My guess is that it alienated its own fanbase with the genre change.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

My world view was shaken yesterday when I spotted a copy of ChronoTrigger in a bargain bin at Best Buy. ($19.99)

ChronoTrigger. In a bargain bin!

 

[Dave Long]

It's been $20 for awhile. The DS game was either overproduced or people just didn't buy it. SNES was a long time ago, man.

The Dark Spire and Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land are awesome games.

The "In the "It'll be under $10 in a month or so" club we have..." line makes me think we should have a "Cheap game of the Month" club of some sorts :lol

You really didn't have to quote my entire post man.

Could have just done something like this....

Look at this shit I'm spewing.

But nope.

No joke I thought it was way cool when some vampire spotted me.
I was just wandering around and some worker at the docks is all "hey who's that guy?" and all of a sudden they double in size and just kick the shit out of me before I can even scream like a girl.

But you could get that same experience from the demo and put your money towards some item off your favorite fast food menu.
