Yeah that'd be cool, they could bring some of the rarer titles to PSN too, those would be downloaded a lot I reckon, especially if the pricing is in line with the current PS1 games they have there, something like £3.50 per game? so maybe £5.50 per PS2 game download, that'd be good. Only problem then is filling up the HDD as you could easily do that with like about 40 - 50 games ? even less if you allready have pre installed stuff on there, I know you can put bigger HDD's in them but the average consumer just won't bother with that. :/ Still it's not all bad, at least we have the in-game XMB coming up finally so things are on the up gradually.

Yes, it makes good business sense but I just think it's nice to have full BC there for the times when there aren't enough really decent games to play on the machine, thats all, it's good too cos it also means if theres a latest game in a long running series people can go back and check out / revisit the older ones and get more hyped for the newer PS3 versions, so it would be benificial to them to put full BC in all consoles for that reason alone surely?
-
But still, it's just stupid how they included it at the start with most USA PS3's and then ditched it for the European models, it's obviously something people want too otherwise it wouldn't be an issue, they just seem to be overspending in the wrong areas. So far I've only bought three PS3 games, but I've purchased about 12 PS2 games, I think I've even ended up playing more PS2 games on it than anything else, even with the few decent titles the machine has there is still a lack and when that happens people will just play other things on it... i.e PS2 games. Anyways it looks like they aren't gonna fix the situation any time soon so it doesn't matter, it just strikes me as an odd choice. :/

CliffyB Calls Metal Gear "Passive Entertainment" In a recent interview with IGN, CliffyB was quoted in saying the following: “Metal Gear Solid is our example of the game we’re not doing. Passive entertainment is on its way out.” ... What a noob >> I don't see whats wrong with MGS4? it's awesome, it has a great plot (yes some of it's far-fetched but it's original and entertaining) and a decent amount of solid (pun intended) gameplay. Gears had... that cover system thing that was cool I guess... decent online multiplayer (but MGS4 has this too) but the plot in Gears was pretty generic and dull IMO with a rubbish ending. :/ Meh... each to their own, I'll still get GoW 2 but I just lost some of the respect I might have had for it's developers thats all.
-
There are far, far worse plots to games and at least it's original and entertaining in it's own way.

Metal Gear is mostly like it or loathe, always has been really, I thought the review was funny though I don't take them seriously often he's right though but mostly his reviews are just entertaining. I'm still gonna continue playing through all the Metal Gear games but it has to be said, MGS4 is a game primarilly for those who have played the rest of the Metal Gear Solid saga, theres loads of fan service in there and despite slight gameplay niggles which have always been there in previous games anyway it's still a fantastic game. Oh and as for the tranquiliser gun, you don't have to use it, theres a myriad of weapons available so you can be as "all out action" or as stealthy as you like so it's hardly a flaw, just an option.
-
Yeah but the loss is allready huge so it would really be a drop in the ever expansive ocean.
-
It's just really dumb though how they implemented the complete emotion engine into 60GB NTSC PS3's, then none for Europe, then they make it for certain models but it's still not classed as "full" BC? Why not just put the emotion engine into every PS3? they are allready making a huge loss that they don't seem hugely concerned about so whats a few extra mill or w/e on top of that if it makes your consumers happy?
-
It was made as a PS2 collection though, what would be better is they should get that BC sorted for Europe then they could release it in Europe too, personally though I like having the MGS saga on their original discs with new artwork, I had to buy a proper copy of subsistence as you only get disc 1 with the essential collection but apart from that you get everything that was in the original subsistence / substance versions for less than £20 which is awesome.
-
QFT! I did that too lol I thought it was like the best stealth killing tactic ever and was sure others must have tried it too, it's just not worth trying to do that boss battle any other way lol
-
While nice, pics of women taken with gaming hardware like this in order to increase sales always comes across as slightly dumb to me. ^^^ Look!!! I has PSP ... where is "On" button?
-
Anyone know the number for Xbox 360 customer support? My Elite is fine but a mate who I sold my spare 360 to (when I got my Elite) has had his machine come up with the 3 red lights and it's still registered to me >> anyway I said I'd return it for him and I need the number to ring so if anyone knows it that'd be cool, if not I'll find it tomorrow. I'm amazed how long that 360 lasted actually as that was one I had a few months after launch... as for my Elite, I've had that since it launched alongside Bioshock, so quite a while now. ^^
-
damn beat me to it, but yeah thats the one... enjoy!
-
Been playing the original Metal Gear... I'm enjoying it now that I know how to save, or where rather, only in elevators apparently >> highlights so far? Aquiring the RC Missiles and of course, The Box! somehow it's even more awesome in the original. anyway, really glad I decided to play it before startin MGS TTS again, still got MG:SS to play before that too.
-
It's well worth it, I got my copy for less than £20, cheap NTSC versions ftw ^^ started playing the MSX version of Metal Gear thats on disc 2, it's pretty good, only bad thing is the difficulty and the fact that you can save any time but it will only save your progress at certain points so you have to watch for when the time on your save file changes, cos thats when it saves. :P Still playing Portable Ops but... on and off cos for all of it's technically impressive goodness, it's a tad repetitive. :/
-
Wait till you get to the end of Act three, thats when things start getting really epic. ^^
-
Yes... because I completed it recently, and damn well excellent it is too ^^ I'm completing them all in chronological order and the list is of the ones I'm playing / left to play in this consecutive MGS "playlist".

The Rock Band Guitar used to be able tp be used with the Guitar hero games right? Well not anymore... just had a blast on the new Coldplay track pack for GH III (the game updated before I played) used the GH controller then decided I wanted to use the RB guitar and now you just get a message that says the following... "Unsupported guitar peripheral detected, please disconnect and connect either a GH Guitar or a control pad and press start" Bastards! >< oh well looks like i won't be playing GH II and III much anymore, I prefer the RB controller and now it's unusable with all GH games (I was sure it was compatible before) the GH controller now feels just cheap and unresponsive in comparison. *sigh* oh well I guess I'll be buying the next RB game and not GH:WT then though I was considering picking up GH:Aerosmith and Metallica at some point, damn... looks like I'll have to use the GH Guitar sometimes, even though the RB one is blatantly better >< IMO. meh...
-
Woot! MGS Orgy ftw :P I'm still playing portable ops atm, once thats done it's gonna be... MG >>> MG2 >>> MGS:TTS >>> MGS2 >>> MGS4 (on hard this time) Can't wait to finish MGS:PO and get onto the originals.
-
I welcome the change and the game in general, the 360 needs more decent platformers (Idk if it's vehicle heavy, still a platformer) and a lot of people have wanted a new Banjo game for years so roll on November! ^^
-
The game truly is a modern day masterpiece really, and the series in general is a huge accomplishment, I'm really enjoying playing through the entire saga properly after finishing MGS4, it's somehow more enjoyable and I think it will make my second playthrough on it even more epic than the first in some ways. ^^ I'm also glad that there will be more Metal Gear games, not too sure on any remakes, apart from maybe bringing certain installments to certain platforms (not too fussed about playing MGS4 on another format though, it should stay exclusive and will as Konami have said) but I'm all for more original installments that fill in some more of the blanks in the illustrious history of the series. For now though I'm more than content playing whats allready been released.
-
Hmm well it's a D-terminal cable and I'm pretty sure it's similar, anyway if it's of any use to anyone I'm willing to sell it.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (100% Spoiler-Free Topic)
S.C.G replied to Tellyn's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I'm so glad I bought this months ago, I played it for two weeks, non stop and haven't played it since... don't get me wrong those two weeks were amazing but with all the other games that have come out on other consoles I haven't really felt inclined to play it much. For those of you who were patient enough to wait for the European launch, enjoy it, as it's the best game that the Wii is gonna see for a long time. -
Yeah I'm playing it atm and thats my main gripe with it, that and the limited number of items thing, did you finish it? is it worth playing to the end? I want to persist with it despite those two niggles but I really want to play Metal Gear 1&2 so was just wondering if it's worth persisting with Portable Ops.
-
Awesome, my copy of MGS3 : Subsistence came today (bought it for Metal Gear / Metal Gear 2 : Solid Snake) still playing portable ops at the moment though, I was starting to get annyoed with it but I just got past another mission so I think I'll see it through; other then a few annoying objectives it's a pretty decent game. Oh and the "you can only carry 4 items at a time" think that really pisses me off. >>
