Posted December 3, 2006 You know what, I think this game having achievements are what seperates it from other games like it. It's like something to aim for. I've played this for nearly 15 hours now in just 3-4 days which is unlike me, and I've actually enjoyed trying to get the achievements. And yay, at 2500 gs now. Also took the perfect picture in Dead Rising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 3, 2006 I'm not going toget this because I think I'll be the same as you, I don't like the Sims, Animal Crossing bored me, I like to be able to be able to complete games, if you know what I mean. I have this very same attitude, which is what initially put me off Viva Pinata, but I believe I will actually enjoy it quite a bit and thus have asked for it for christmas. You guys reminding me of what I was previously thinking is starting to make me doubt getting it again now though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 3, 2006 I hate The Sims and Nintendogs. I also got bored with Animal Crossing pretty quickly. I do, however, love Viva Pinata. Go figure. i'd compare it more to a theme park or city building game, you need to have the right thinks in your place to attract the right pinata and then you make them have sex to sell the bastards or feed them to other guys so they can shag and you can sell them for lots of dosh. its nothing like the sims and i can't really see the animal crossing similarities either for some reason-especially not gameplay wise. nothing about this game is boring and if you buy it you will play it beyond 10-15 hours just cos its that fun and addictive.

Posted December 4, 2006 Plus I have no money anyway after buying like 20+ games through the past couple of months, heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 You actually can complete Viva Pinata as it has a check list in the logbook, once that is done then there is nothing left to do in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 Yup, I cant wait. I demand an epic trailer that gets me hyped up as much as the first trailer did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 Just as long as no one from Bungie gets to open their mouth. When I watched their behind the scenes Halo 3 preview vid and they were all talking about how kewl the story for Halo 2 was, I very nearly garroted the lot of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 For anybody that's interested here's some gameplay footage of Star Trek Legacy. http://on10.net/Blogs/duncan/run-through-a-full-mission-in-star-trek-legacy/ Still in two minds about this, but may go for it just because it's Star Trek.

Posted December 4, 2006 Isnt the Halo 3 vid all FMV anyway? nothing to get that excited about really . . . No FMV in the Halo games, all cut scenes are done using the game engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 No FMV in the Halo games, all cut scenes are done using the game engine. yes i know that but i'm on about this trailer. isn't it meant to be prerendered stuff just to give people a taster where as what was shown at E3 was the in game engine being used in the cut scene.

Posted December 4, 2006 Nope, all done with a working game engine. As I recall, at E3 they had people move the camera around themselves to prove the point. Bungie aren't Sony remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YES i know. my point is that im sure bungie have said that this trailer (the one released after the anouncement trailer) will NOT be in game, instead it'll give people a taste of what the game is about or some random hyperbole. i believe they said this on the 1up.com Halo 3 Special podcast. but either way, whether i'm right or wrong i don't really care as its not gonna tell us a fat lot about the games content etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 While playing the last level on Hardcore, and realising that its chapter select and not a new game so i wouldnt count towards that Veteran Achievement, thus i saw: wierd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 Takeo is right actually, the trailer is supposed to be a mixture of CG and live-action and is not supposed to represent gameplay. It doesn't matter what it is though, it's going to be pretty great and I can't wait to watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not really that hyped about Halo 3 since I've never been into the previous games, and the only reason I'll get it is to play online with you lot. I'm sure I'll grow to love it eventually and see what all the fuss is about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it will work, the important bit is this: "Stereo input with virtual surround sound." The VGA cable comes with seperate red/white audio cables so it will work fine.
