I thought you could teamswap in mvc1.

how about your box level? and finding those damn sailors??


you can swap on MvC, but the psone was soo underpowered that it couldn't handle the swap compared to the arcade.


If they ever do remake Shenmue, it would have to be from the ground up. Redo everything.

Another Castlevania game came out, I think it was today. My bro downloaded it but the english voices in it sounded gay so he'll get the jap version when it comes out in a couple of days.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on DS. Why do they always change the name to something completely different from the japaense one though.

I know some of you already know this or don't give a shit, but there's an English translation out for Mother 3 and Persona 2: Innocent Sin.

Now I can die a happy man. Oh wait, Fallout 3's coming soon. Probably wait till I finish that then.

So I guess all the SC2 fans know, but there's gonna be separate games for each campaign. Hopefully you don't need all three games for online play, though.

So I can't seem to find too much talk about it but...

Did anyone get Fable 2?

Edit: My only real beef with it is that it's rather short. I work 7:00 - 7:00, Monday - Friday, and 7:00 - 6:00 on Saturday, and I beat it this evening after I bought it Wednesday.

At least you can continue playing in this one, unlike the first.

Oh well, it was a pleasant distraction and now I only have 2 days until I buy Fallout 3.

What's bad about Fallout 3 coming to Australia is that they are going to 'censor' it. Well, they're taking out the drug references, but I think they still have the drug use. Damn it, I need the mentats.

Bethesda has revealed that following trouble with the ratings board in Australia, all versions of Fallout 3 will be identically censored when the game is released in October.

"We want to make sure folks understand that the Australian version of Fallout 3 is identical to both the UK and North American versions in every way, on every platform," Bethesda VP Pete Hines told Edge.

Fallout 3, a sequel expanding on Black Isle's classic PC RPG series, was initially refused classification in Australia, effectively banning the game from sale. The game was modified so that "the reward and incentive" for in-game drug use was reduced significantly and then given an MA-15+ rating.

Names for real-world drugs have also been removed from the game.

Hines asserted, "An issue was raised concerning references to real world, proscribed drugs in the game, and we subsequently removed those references and replaced them with fictional names."
"Just to reaffirm, the change is nothing more than Morphine being called Med-X. "

From shacknews. Anyway I can't fucking wait to lay my fingers on Fallout 3 this friday!

Oh, is that all? I was led to believe that more than mor-fucking-phine was censored from gamespot. Well, it's cool, I guess. I was going to buy my copy from Ebay, guess I can save my money from shipping.

roomie got fallout 3. 3 hours in and hasnt stopped yet.

Bought Fallout 3 yesterday at a local retailer. Was hoping that I got the uncensored version, and I got it
The german version is censored, as always, there are no decapitations and stuff. But I got the austrian version, with german text and voices (which are suprisingly good dubbed) but without any cencoring. All hail Austria XD

Anyway, awesome game. I love the character generation - you start when you leave your mothers womb, and then fast forward through your childhood where your actions determine your stats and specials. I couldn't help but laugh when I was "running" aroud as a 1year old toddler, clicking shoot would only make you go "Bla abl balupp dadada!" and then I found the book "You are SPECIAL!" where you select your attributes. Awesome stuff.

Played for some 4 hours yesterday. It's great, and while the VATS combat system is really nice, I really miss having a party for combat and to interact with when traveling. Although I read that you will get Dogmeat and can have an additional party member with you sometimes later in the game. Though you won't get to control them in combat directly.

From what I've seen the freedom of the series is still there. Some dude in megaton asked me to disarm the bomb in the middle of the city. Some other shady dude asked me to blow it up. When I told disarm-dude what blowup-dude wanted to do, he talked to him, and blowup dude shot disarm dude in the back. I finished blowup dude and looted both corpses for some sweet weapons

Edit: What disappointed me though, when I payed a prostitute 120 crown corks (dunno if the currency is really called that in the english version) to sleep with her, she just showed me the bed and lay besides me. The witcher did that much better
I wouldn't have payed 120 for just a nights sleep, I could have killed some random commoner and sleep in his bed if I wanted. I wanted some temporary buff from having fun
Let's see if you can still marry and make your wife a porn star or prostitute like you could in Fallout 2

If you can get your hands on them, you should definately play Fallout, and especially Fallout 2. While I only played through the first one one time, I finished Fallout 2 I think 3 or 4 times. There were a shitload of different endings showing you what your character did over the course of the game. I really liked my badass conman character. He would go to Reno (post apocalyptic Las Vegas), work for a porn company, get a young wife, shove her into porn business and make good money off of her and such evil things There was also a city where you could get a water somethingsomething (don't remember, but you needed a water transformer or something like that for the mainquest). Now the city couldn't live without that water transformer. But still you had the option to steal it. Knowing that if you do the whole city will be extinct in a few weeks. And so my badass character did. And the ending showed it - that I had fucking killed a whole town with my actions. Besides making Reno worse of a shithole than it already was because now I was the boss of the gangs there since I killed the former ones.

I can just pray that Fallout 3 really shows what your character achieved by the end in a way like the first ones did.

The only game that can stand on the same level as the Fallout series, when it comes to plot and interaction, is Planescape Torment IMO.

I'm a goody two shoes in Fallout 2. All the towns have good endings, except New Reno (I think), when I wiped out all the mob in that area.

What I love about RPGs is party interaction, so I hope that party members join soon. Tycho was badarse and was one of my favourite characters, besides Sulik. I think in Fallout 3, with a high enough Karma, you get a super mutant joining you, and with a low you get a raider or something.

Planetscape Torment is indeed an awesome game. Too much text though, I never got my head around the plot fully because there was a tonne of text to read. Did the nameless start the blood war or something? Can't remember.

As far as I know, you can't marry in Fallout 3. You can get a apartment and furnish it with some amenities, but that's about it.

I started playing it yesterday when it was released... completely enjoying it so far.

I'm going the goody-two-shoe route as well. Quite humorous though, because after I turned down Mr. Burke's offer, I ran into about 3 "Talon" mercenaries, and after I killed them I found a note describing me as a "White Knight" and offering 1,000 caps for my head.

As well there's quite a few quests. I read some reviews and people were disappointed that there we only a few, but I seem to find them left right and center.

I got to Big Town and ran into a couple of Super Mutants though. They really aren't fun. Who would have thought a board with a nail could be so painful when there's an arm as big as my thigh swinging it. Plus side though, after I killed them both I got a missile launcher . Good fun.

Oh, and Aether, in the North American versions (past incarnations as well) the common currency are "caps". In Fallout 3 you even get a cap every time you drink a Nuka Cola.

Oh, and a quick note as far as party members are concerned, I've already found both a Ghoul and a former Raider who will tag along with me, and I've only been to about 3 towns .

I just wanted to ask which is better, energy weapons or small guns? In Fallout 2, small guns seem like the early choice, then replaced by energy weapons. Is this the same case here?

Also, how did you distribute your stats? Is agility as important as it was in Fallout 2? I have no idea what the VATS system is, so I'm incredibly curious what agility can really do. Otherwise, if/when I get the game, I'll distribute the points elsewhere.

I read somewhere that you still have action points and can use them for the good old head/eye/groin/limb shots in combat so agility must still be pretty important. I can't wait to pick up this game!

Yeah the combat system is actually pretty sweet. Usually it is realtime ego shooter style. While in this style your action points regenerate. You can hit the VATS button at any time and then the game is paused and you can select what action you want to do and which body part you'll try to hit. Say with a full action points bar I can shoot 5 times with the laserpistol or 3 times with the shotgun. After your AP are spent it's back to realtime until you have enough AP again to do some turnbased action.

I've purposefully been staying away from D.C. in my game, exploring and doing as many quests as I can before going through the main story.

Unlike previous Fallouts, there's no time limit so I'm not restrained by that, and from things I've heard [spoiler]You can't keep playing after you finish the main quest[/spoiler] I want to get as much done as possible.

Still great fun. It's becoming a real pain to save up the caps for the home additions...but I just got a fat boy, which is sweet.
