BUT I DON'T WANNA WAIIIIIT! :cry

The tension is killing me especially because Snake Eater has dropped 30 dollars in price in the past month.

In other news there is now a factory sealed copy of Broken Sword 2 on the way to my house :)

Ouch, I just hope Ebay doesn't find out I'm not 18. :hat

Edit: ok now it's just getting to be a strange addiction. Metal Gear Solid 3 is about 12 hours long and I beat it twice today in 10 hours... I'm scared.

I still have the original "big box" versions of Broken Sword 1 and 2 which I bought in 96' and 97' respectively ;)

Quest For Glory Fan · #955 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 1:38 pm

I almost bought that but the auction timed out while I was making my account. it was 3 dollars canadian too!

Well the PSP is released in Europe tonight at 12:01AM.

I'm hoping to get one but apparently my local store (ASDA/WAL-MART) only has 13 PSP's!!! The guy I spoke to on the phone said they did have more but some of the staff have got some. I'm sure that illegal but I was that guy I wouldnt go telling that to the public!!

So fingers crossed I get one tonight otherwise I'll have to wait god knows how long!!

Quest For Glory Fan · #957 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 8:16 pm

Angelus3K · #958 Post by **Angelus3K** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 9:52 am

Quest For Glory Fan · #959 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 3:03 am

as for my latest Broken Sword news I have bought it from the UK on Ebay for 1 GBP. However shipping came out to 4.52GBP all in all it was 12.36 Canadian and now my dad is wondering if the Uk game will work on my computer although I'm pretty sure it will/

Angelus3K · #960 Post by **Angelus3K** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 7:28 am

Of course it will work lol

BTW QFGF, your an MGS fan what do you think of MG Acid?

I havnt played it properly yet but the graphics are amazing!

Shame... I hear PSP's are quite sturdy... they attract dust and finger prints like bees to pollon though!

That'd be a first for Sony. Their stuff tends to nearly snap in half just by looking at it. >_>

Besides, DS has already survived Mount Everest. Let's see the PSP do that.

Angelus3K · #964 Post by **Angelus3K** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 8:16 pm

Cool lol!!

I was surprised today to find a Wireless Hotspot in my street!! Un-excrypted too! I have Broadband but I dont have a wireless router (yet) so I was standing in the street downloading some game content for "Fired Up" which I just rented, on my PSP lol!!!

Quest For Glory Fan · #965 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 1:07 am

were you watching for oncoming traffic? :p

As far as Metal Gear Acid goes it seems to have as decent of a story as the others *so I've heard anyways* but it looks like it could take some getting used too. If you played the others it should be no problem but it runs on a card system that is a little different. I think you should rent it and give it a go and if you like the mechanics of the game at all you'll enjoy the game all the way through. The game definetly has some replayabilitie and unlockables for beating the game under certain conditions and letting you see how you've done at the end. The games story is devided into two parts. The first part being a lot smaller likea prologue and the second part covering most everything. Hopefully the first part is a tutorial style segment like it was in MGS2 and 3.

Definetly worth a try and Metal Gear Ac!d 2 is coming out sometime next year.

I'd send you a copy of Metal Gear Solid 2 as I have 2 copies of the game but I'm not sure if it would work on your PS2 after all it's in the UK of all places :p

Angelus3K · #966 Post by **Angelus3K** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 8:03 am

I have already bought MGA but havnt played it properly yet.

If you did send me MGS2 I could get it to work on my PAL PS2 but as it goes I already have MGS 1, MGS 2 and MGS 3. (MGS 2 came WITH my PS2 when I bought it lol).

Quest For Glory Fan · #967 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 10:23 pm

That's wicked Angelus. Which one is your favorite? Personnally I like 1 and 3. 3 for gameplay and 1 for story but 2 has a special place in there because I love the dogtags. (Almost got all of em).

Keep me updated I'd love to hear about progress if you get around to playing them. My 1000th post goes to you Angelus.

Skyshark · #968 Post by **Skyshark** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 12:18 pm

Got a few bills to pay first, but I'm looking at getting one in the near future. Thinking about getting Wipeout Pure and MGA.

Also, heard about Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, which is basically MGS3 with online play!

Seems to be PS2-only at this stage, but still cool news nonetheless.

Quest For Glory Fan · #969 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 4:56 pm

November (14th?) I can't wait. It's the only reason I haven't bought Snake Eater yet and I'm positive it will be PS2 only and if anywhere else probably X-box as was MGS2 substance.

Angelus3K · #970 Post by **Angelus3K** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:47 pm

The sales numbers for PSP are looking pretty good for Europe! The sales charts are dominated by PSP releases:

1. Ridge Racer
2. Brian Lara International Cricket 2005
3. Wipeout Pure
4. Virtua Tennis: World Tour
5. Metal Gear AC!D
6. Need for Speed Underground: Rivals
7. Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition
8. Toca Race Driver 2
9. Tony Hawk's Underground 2: Remix
10. World Tour Soccer
11. Lumines
12. Everybody's Golf
13. Spider-man 2
14. Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade
15. Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
16. Medievil Resurrection
17. Madagascar
18. Archer Maclean's Mercury
19. Medal of Honor: European Assault
20. Cricket 2005

And according to reports:

Sony's PSP sold roughly 185,000 units in the UK alone this week, eclipsing the Nintendo DS' 87,000. Twenty of the twenty-four lauch titles filled the Top 40 All Format Chart, with nine in the Top 10! Ridge Racer took No.1, Wipeout Pure at No.3, Virtua Tennis at No.4 and Metal Gear Ac!d at No.5

Not sure if the PSP has broken the DS record for fastest selling console in the UK (the article doesnt mention it) but I would assume so with those sales numbers.

With both consoles having been released world wide now it'd be interesting to see the sales numbers for the world!

I just got advance wars Duel Strike and I'm really impressed with the way they incorporated the touch screen.

I've also just come across my own copy of Resident Evil 4 and after playing for a bit (Chapter 2-3) I realized I really like the story and would be interested in the prequals but I know the games wouldn't be the same at all. I can recall playing Resident evil 2 on my old computer and having no ammo all the time and never being able to see what I'm shooting at.

Yesterday I finally beat Skies Of Arcadia Legends after a long break from it and decided that the ending bosses were to easy. It took me 3 hours to beat the last 4 bosses yet I never even came close to dying once. Great game though and a good ending. It's all about never giving up and not being judgemental.

Well I geuss that's my update I'll try to come in more often.

The Guy · #973 Post by **The Guy** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 6:56 am

I got Resident Evil 4 the second it came out. I thought it was a very nice change from the fixed camera perspective. Story wasn't too bad either, just unlocking the Handcannon is a pain (still have yet to do it). Skies of Arcadia: Legends was a pretty good game as well. Thought I had a bit more to go when I was actually at the very end ot the game. Also I agree with you the end boss wans't that tough at all, had more trouble getting a few of the later bounty heads then finishing the game itself.
To Angelus, have noticed the games you are currently playing on GameCube. It's kinda funny cause I just recently replayed OOT on GC and am on the 3rd time playing Windwaker. Eternal Darkness rocked!! I finished that earlier this year(or maybe it was towards the end of last year, can't remember now), after finding out I had to beat the game 3 times to finally see the true ending.

MasterG · #974 Post by **MasterG** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 7:31 am

This is a long thread.

As to what I've been playing, it's mostly arcade roms, (Capcom and SNK stuff almost exclusively) and Unlimited Adventures.

Angelus3K · #975 Post by **Angelus3K** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 11:57 am

Hey The Guy,

Yea I just recently got a cube and am loving Eternal Darkness, do you know if there any gonna be any sequels? Its quite an old game now and to my knowledge there's no sequel released yet...

Havnt had time to start OOT or WW yet, I probably will when I finish Eternal Darkness.

I'm also playing Smackdown Vs Raw in preparation for Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 in November for PS2 and PSP!
