That game where you launch the dude into the street seems pretty fun lol.

PAIN, and yes, its loads of fun, bought it the day it came out

[Po]

The PSN needs demos for its downloadable games. I'd like to try that Pain game youre referring to Exo, but I have heard bad reviews and I don't want to drop 10 bills if it is going to suck.

If your argument is that you don't feel like the VC games are worth your money, nobody is forcing you to buy them.

I can't call it a piece of crap either?


If you include only Silver membership you still get access to ton of(most) demos and trials. If you buy the elite currently, you get like 10-12 trial games and I think like 3 demos, one of which is the online Lost Planet demo.


VC was a huge letdown, like practically all of Wii's channels(or what could be called the console's non-game content). Xbox360 blows it away, it's not even a contest. Unfortunate, because all of the channels sounded they would be awesome back in the day. I hope for someone to mod it like fucking crazy one day, much like what happened with the PSP. It'll be the first console mod I ever purchase. Something tells me I'll live without the anonymous/trackless online play.

lol congrats for saying the 360 online system blows away the Wii's. That is the revelation of 2008.

Wii really could care less about competing with the 360's online system, that much is obvious.

The Wii WiFi is the stupidest thing in this generation of gaming. It's why I stopped playing Mario Strikers so goddamn fast. Matching system was horrible.

I hope they fix that shit up before SSBB.

[BRP]

It's not just online, it's the entire console. They should have just skipped it entirely and went straight to game and just released retro game packs with 20-40 Nes/Snes/etc games packed into one disc and released a third Animal Crossing(they'll let wear more than a odd-looking jumpsuit!).

I hope they fix that shit up before SSBB.

Spoiler: Either completely random with no name or taunts or friendlist only. SAKURAIIIIIIIII


EDIT: I have some faith in the DS Demo Channel they spoke of. It's the only thing I've been excited for concerning the Wii hardware. I mean, it's really hard for them to mess something like that up since they already do it in several stores.

I'm talking about the matching system but okay heh.. And yeah the fact they probably have no names is kind of stupid. Friendlist still doesn't make much sense to me because the whole wii number system is stupid a hell.

Microsoft offers a service where you can download demos, trailers, movies, etc, except it comes at the cost of a Gold subscription to Xbox Live. I don't even know what I'm paying for it now, $50-70 a year? The Silver Membership is absolutely worthless for content too.

I'm a bit confused by this. You are saying Live Gold is required to download demos/trailers/etc, but I just checked and I can download any free content in the marketplace (demos and trials) and I have Live Silver. As far as I can tell Live Gold is needed only for online play. So... did I misunderstand or something?

Nope you're correct.

Sometimes silver members cannot access content until a week or so after it comes out for gold members. Arcade games are sometimes released in that fashion.

Was pretty funny but I don't agree with some of his points. I thought the camera was dead on.

Wasn't as funny as GH3 or Mass Effect, and yeah he did bash it a little too much heh.

[Elcura]

He actually likes the game, which says a lot. People express disinterest if he actually says a lot of nice things about a game so he just lists whatever points he has to a game's flaws. Admittedly there aren't a lot in SMG but I lol whenever he brings up how Nintendo just flog their deadhorse games over and over again.

[Exoduso]

Yeah the beginning was good, it got a bit dull towards the end is all.

I downloaded "The Club" demo, it has a nice premise, but overalll its "Meh!"

You cant run (looks like your always in Slo-Mo), the placement of certain buttons used for commands are an issue, aiming can be a pain, the melee kills are horrible and sometimes enemies appear out of fn nowhere + they have like 100% accuracy....GG Sega

I think the premise was really awesome, especially the intro, felt like a Guy Ritchie Dark Comedy/Action Movie (Be cool if they made this into a movie)

The reality of what you just said isn't so cool.

I don't know, on the planet levels, yeah, it was no problem. On the ones where if you fall you die... camera control would have seemed me a lot of frustration.
