I'm not a pet person but that really choked me up. My family have dogs and i've witnessed a generation of their dogs pass away and it really is sad with the emptiness left behind.

I've noticed this. The amount of times i've shot first and a level 40+ with an awesome assault rifle headshots me, bah. Though i have managed to rack up quite a few kills on this compared to the others.

Where are the light guns for duck hunt?

I think this looks really good, as i've previously said and a lot of other people seem to agree that this is probably the best or one of the best 3d sonic games. But Gametrailers trashed it! Probably the worst Gametrailers review i've ever watched, a 6.4? Seriously?

What a shame, although i suppose everyone moves on. A lot of great people have left IGN now and i agree that it isn't what it once was, i always used to like Matt's stuff.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
Arnieboy replied to ndreamer's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I kept seeing this thread pop up and bought this earlier this month and totally forgot i had bought it. Then i was looking for a game to play last night and it caught my eye so i put it in and let's just say it's kept my attention! Enjoying it so far, up to that abby place where you can finally job change, completed the tower. The story is good, i'm liking it, not as good as most FF stories but that's to be expected i think. Visually impressive, loving the enemies in this, memorable for the most part with the slimes, the cruelcucumbers and sacksquatches. Currently have just changed to a warrior with my party being a priest, mage and a martial artist (the party being named Eiko, Vivi and Yang ) Was getting a little tired of backtracking and having to buy the wings when i got zoom <3 So yeah, my first DQ game and i'm impressed. The only thing i don't like is how dull the dungeons seem to be, but that's just me. The end bosses and loot all make up for it. The praise in this thread was indeed well deserved : peace: -
Yup, that's the little bugger. And yeah i've tried a number of those, think the open dns one too, but not the google one. If that doesn't work it's probably a problem at the router's end, will try and sort it out this weekend sometime. Cheers for the tips : peace:

DNS error is something like i have an internet connection but it won't connect to PSN, so it says i have a good signal but won't sign me on. BT is our ISP, a homehub. And it was on and off like it would work 50 percent of the time but since trying to resolve it, it won't go online at all even with the 'easy and automatic settings.' I've read countless pages with people having the same error so this weekend i'll probably go and look at the router end of things. And yeah i agree, loft isn't the best place but if i remember correctly it was moved as the dogs kept knocking it off the window sill, disconnecting it.
-
I don't see why it would be cancelled. The 3DS still plays DS games right? Although i suppose it'll be like when FF6 got it's gba release, the DS had gba support but people had just stopped buying gba games at that point. It's such a shame.
-
I wish wired was possible but at this moment in time the family router is safely located in the loft of all places. I've spent countless hours looking up possible solutions, finding ip and dns addresses, turning features off but the furthest i seem to get is it finding the ip. It's always a dns error message i get. Apparently you can configure the router to a certain dns and then match it on the PS3 or something, i may give that a go this weekend as i really do like the PS3 but the online is giving me a headache.

I wasn't planning on getting this til later but after seeing that video i'm sorely tempted
-
It's a Slim thus doesn't have one unfortunately.

I decided to buy Black Ops for my PS3 to give it some use but the online for the PS3 is horrendously unreliable. I couldn't get connected to the psn launch day then it was fine for 2 days and since then i can't get on at all. Fiddled with DNS settings and everything. I'm really disappointed that Sony's online service seems to be so damn awkard and unreliable. In comparison my xbox360 and wii connect just fine every time.

6) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?
-
The 90s were a great decade for me. 16 bit gaming, good music, good films, adverts, pre-internet and later on the classic dial up noise became a common sound when internet did start to take off. But the 90s also did bad things, such as shape up how terrible mainstream music would become (i blame the spice girls *shudder*) and spawned the internet's march to power, which whilst good in many ways, effectively killed off many record labels, record shops and helped put the nail in Woolworth's coffin.

Definately Wii's best year, easily! Hopefully next year will also be a great year. We already have Kirby and Zelda set for release next year so that's a good start! I'm still waiting for 'The Last Story European Release Confirmed' to be a story on the N-E homepage.

You can't judge a game you haven't played simple as. I thought the motion controls on Mario Galaxy were going to make the game suck and how wrong was i assuming that? It's only used to control a couple of moves, it won't break the game. As to the argument on whether DKC2 is the best game on the SNES or not i would put it at number 1, but that's personal preference. You could look at any SNES games list and see any of the following games in the top 10, in any order*: -Donkey Kong Country 1/2 or 3 -Super Mario World 1 and 2 -Super Metroid -Zelda: ALTTP -Super Mario Kart -Secret of Mana -Street Fighter 2: Turbo I'm highly hyped for DKC: Returns and i doubt it will prevail over my love and nostalgia for DKC2 but i can foresee it being my favourite game on the wii quite easily. *PAL games only due to me still not getting over not having those great Square RPGs released here

Retro consoles worth checking out?
Arnieboy replied to Pookiablo's topic in General Gaming Discussion
I would be jealous but i think it'll have to wait til christmas anyway unfortunately You definately need to play those two! DKC2 is probably my favourite game ever and for me it's platforming perfection. Great worlds, enemies, bosses, characters, FANTASTIC soundtrack and lots to do with a good level of difficulty to keep you on your toes! Although i seem to be one of the few that doesn't like DKC3 all too much, a lot of people love it and it is a solid game that's also definately worth your time. -
I completed this the other day and for the record, the campaign is brilliant - better than Modern Warfare in my opinion. Loved it. Online multiplayer is the usual okay, i never really get into it much. The zombies i played one round with some foreigners who all died on the first dog round and then i got ganked But the zombie mode seems addictive as ever and i look forward to playing it with some mates later on. What really surprised me though was Dead Ops, what a great little game that is! Overall, i like it a lot. Didn't disappoint me like Modern Warfare 2 did.

A problem for me with the Call of Duty franchise has been replayability. On the older titles i complete the campaign and then i put it down. I'm not really the type for online multiplayer but i enjoy the campaigns enough to play through them every time. While Spec Ops was...okay the zombie mode in World at War kept my attention span for longer and this game from what i'm getting has more modes and secrets to keep me amused for even longer. Now all i can do is wait and hope that Play actually gets this to me tomorrow morning. Goldeneye came on time but they posted this saturday, will be a bit peeved if it's not here tomorrow.

Your rare and most prized gaming items
Arnieboy replied to stallion's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Why thank you Although it's still not up to par with yours, i'm not yet at the stage where im looking through games saying 'oh look a gameboy...oh look another game boy!' Awesome collection there, truly : peace: And yeah, it's the little things that make a game truly special and truly yours. I've bought a lot of second hand games lately, but with a lot of them being new to me i can't look back and say 'hey i remember playing that' to a few of them and even if it's a game i did own, it doesn't compare to unearthing a game 10 years later and finding your game save. When i found those saves on that copy of ALTTP memories came rushing back, good times. -
Your rare and most prized gaming items
Arnieboy replied to stallion's topic in General Gaming Discussion
That book sounds awesome! For rare stuff there's plenty of websites that list rare games. Rare games are either: - crap games which didn't sell well which are hence rare and which i don't buy - games that got pulled from shelves for whatever reason, such as tengen tetris - games that are great but for whatever reason didn't sell well, such as being 2d when 3d was all reviewers cared about, examples being Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Strider 2 - more commonly, released at the end of a consoles lifespan, kirby games have a habit of doing this which is why Kirby 64 is quite rare - or lastly which only applies to PAL, you'll get a game released in other pal territories but not here, which sometimes gets mixed up with the 'end of life release' which can create very rare games. Harvest Moon on the SNES is extremely hard to find, especially in english -
I already praised this game on how good it was but i forgot to mention the little bits i didn't like, this may be just me but hey, my 2 minor complaints: 1) No pickup weapons in the multiplayer levels. This has always frustrated me that so many fps' now days don't use this, halo probably being the notable exception. It's just something i liked, which is probably why i like halo multiplayer. 2) The maps seem a bit too arena-like. The original Goldeneye had maps like caverns and facility, (which i know were taken from the single player), but they were fun with many paths and not too big. All the maps this one has seem a bit smallish and the Facility level to me is a big disappointment if you compare it to Goldeneye 64's Facility. Which isn't to say that it doesn't have good maps, of the 5 i've played i enjoyed Jungle and Station, but i feel they could have added a little bit more. Nitpicking i know but i loved the rest of the game and the multiplayers vast choice of characters and mods (Singularity + paintball + rubber grenades in multiplayer = awesome).

The classic controller pro has them, maybe Nintendo have finally seen this as a good idea, although Nintendo are known for not sticking to a set controller design.
