    Shenmue

    in General Gaming Discussion

    Posted

    Well I've been playing quite a bit through this festive season, and am absolutely loving it. Its so amazing how at first when you enter Dobuita it seems so big and you get lost, but after a while you feel you know the city better than your own in real life. The game is so alive, its simply wonderful.

    Some of my favourite bits so far:

    - Going into the Heartbeats pub and teaching the sailors a lesson

    - Sneaking into warehouse no.8

    - Speaking to Nazomi in the park

    And I know there is so much to look forward to!

     

    By the way those wondering where I am I have just got the sword holder thing from the antique shop, and I've been told its the Hazuki Family symbol. Don't have a clue where to go next :hmm: A small hint would be nice but please don't tell me directly.

    Hope it's not too late. Just in the nick of time, i hope. :D

    Nope not too late :smile:

     

    The poll will be closed at 6:00pm today. A big thank you to everyone who has submitted their top five! The more people submitting the more accurate the top 50 will be, and I must admit there's been a lot more entries than I expected. Can't wait to count up to find out who comes where, although everyone knows who's 1st :heh:

    Your 5 personal highlights of 2005

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    1. Summer holiday in Spain

    When I went on holiday(with my family) for 10 days in Nerja, Spain has to be my favourite highlight of the year. The main reason is because I fell in love properly(for the first time) with a girl there. However, it was my biggest regret of the year to of not got her phone number/email/address etc. (I'll never see her again now :cry:) ....there's always that 0.01% chance :hmm:

    It was also my 15th birthday that week which made it pretty special and I got a 20GB mp3 player :awesome:

     

    2. FA Cup final at cardiff

    I was there, which was why it was so special. And yeah I admit Man Utd outplayed Arsenal the whole match :heh: but the look on their faces when Vieira put that penalty was priceless. I've been there for two other FA Cup finals before(which we both won) against Chelsea and against Southampton, and although this year wasn't a touch on the year we beat Chelsea, it was still a fantastic day.

     

    3. Getting new PC

    What made it so special was I'd been waiting so long for it(my last PC was shite) and I got it after my two weeks work experience at my dad's company in london, so it was great timing. Finally I had a beautiful 19" flat screen monitor, I could at last play Counter Strike Source with my friends plus all the latest games on high settings, and so much more speed and memory makes life on the PC so much better in general.

     

    4. Sparring for the first time(boxing)

    Although it is a small thing, it was very special for me, as I don't think I've ever had so much butterflies before doing something, nor felt so great after doing something.

     

    5. Revolution controller revealing (TGS)

    Shock of the year no doubt about it. :shock: The build up to the unveiling was immense but when it was actually shown I couldn't believe it, I could of never predicted it. Can't bloody wait till E3 2006.

    Baten Kaitos Official Thread

    in General Gaming Discussion

    Posted

    I just adore the battle system, the freshest and best battle system, dare I say it, I've ever played. The thing which makes it great for me is that you have to constantly involved, your mind always has to be working, spoting combos, making sure elements don't combine badly. This makes you always having to be alert and on your guard. I then contrast a typical Final Fantasy or any other turn based RPG battle system and you always get a point in the game in which you are just truding through an area being met with random battles all the time (take the Mushroom Rockroad in Final Fantasy X for example) and everytime a battle would occur I'd be sitting there lazily pressing X to attack, after the battle I would just hold forward, probably while reading through some magazine and when i hear the battle music I'd just continue to thumb the X button.

    Baten Kaitos always keeps me engaged because of it's fantastic battle system and two, it's simply wonderful sublime environments which are just a joy to watch.

     

     

     

    Also, the voices really aren't as bad as people say they are. I think they are perfectly fine in general, give or take a few words in which the emphasis is slightly astrew

     

    I agree, the battle system not only is very strategic but fast paced too, you don't get that very often. As you progress through the game the battle system grows too, it improves all the time.

     

    And yeah, the voice acting is fine in my opinion, I also think its brilliant in ToS, yet people still complain about the voice acting in both games.

    Football Season 05/06

    Went to the Arsenal v Portsmouth game last night. Great night. Good to see us playing the football we always use to play again. We haven't been playing in that fast one/two touch passing style and have made it hard for ourselves, but since Christmas we have and it seems to be working.

     

    Reyes is playing well at the moment, I've always had a lot of faith in him its just he seems to of had a lack of confidence all year. A couple of goals in two games is bound to help his confidence even more.

     

    Wohey to West Brom beating Tottenham. Good ol Kanu. If Spurs finished above us this year it'd be an embarassment.

    check your router disk, as you should have named the ssid when installing and the wepcode

    Kay thanks. I just need to find the disc now....

     

    EDIT: Can't bloody find it. I'll ask my dad later if he knows cause he's got loads of discs and stuff in his office.

    Can't connect to Xbox Live

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    I have also posted this in the Xbox 360 Official thread but I thought if I post it here aswell I have a better chance of help.

     

    Okay so I have the wireless adaptor, I've connected it to the back of 360 properly and everything, and my router is upstairs. When I go onto the 'Xbox Live' part of the dashboard and try to connect it can't connect, it can't locate the router. I've tried doing the IP and DNS stuff manually too but it still wouldn't work. I'm thinking either its too far from the router or the router is just shite. Anyone who can help or at least try to it would be really appreciated. I'm so close yet so far

     

    UPDATE

    I've tried doing it on a TV thats REALLY close to the router and it still couldn't connect. At least I know that distance isn't the problem.

     

    UPDATE

    Anyone know where or how i can obtain the following

     

    The Network Name (SSID)

    The Security Type (either WEP 64 or 128-bit or WPA)

    The Security Key
