What are they gonna do with it now then?

That's the big question. There's no official statement what Bandai wants to do with it. I for one just hope they DON'T trash it.

That's a different game, Saber.

Why does everyone automatically freak out and start screaming "CAPCOM'S TRYING TO MAKE A FPS MEGAMAN GAME" when they've got like a billion other franchises?  

Because this is a Rockman-themed board. This is the first franchise that comes to mind. Plus, there aren't that many "shooter-themed" franchises in Capcom's store, fewer that haven't already tried it out (like Resident Evil).

You're right... a MM FPS is just one possibility... maybe're they're making a Halo platformer?

Bungie already stated that Halo: Reach would be the last Halo game for a while.

Still, it'd have been nice to have Ultimate Armor and Black Zero in the same file.

That's easy. Grab the upgrade with one character, drop into a pit until all your lives are gone, return to stage select, take the other character and do the level again with the other.

Just preordered these despite the laughable "extras" these "limited" editions come with. Bandai is really letting me down with this one. The first season had such kickass limited editions with awesome extras and packaging. This, on the other hand, is garbage.

Oh boy, I haven't even watched up to the eyecatcher of episode 75 yet, but I can't stop laughing. Watching Aki constantly crashing her D-Wheel is hilarious, yet sad at the same time. And now Yusei's skating with her to show her how to drive backwards...something is wrong with this season, very wrong. I guess this is supposed to be the episode Faithshippers have been praying for. Can't say it's the kind of thing I would have imagined.

And God, Jack with a pimp hat...

Now then, I'm looking forward to the [sonic slicer] battle between Aki and Sherry.

Zero / Re: MegaMan Zero, then and now.

« on: September 05, 2009, 10:25:21 PM »

With a founding of 100 years ago, Zero could be present to end the war. However, the story is clear; X is a lone hero that ended the war and fought for 100 years without Zero. Despite this, X and Zero saved the world together, 100 years ago? How can X fight for 100 years when there is no war after Neo Arcadia's founding? How can X be a lone hero when Zero wasn't sealed yet? How can X and Zero save the world together when X is a lone hero that ended the war, and fought a century without Zero?

The way I see it, the confusion of the statements and dates is due to Neo Arcadia's coverups of history. Zero, who's the very source of Irregularity, fought together with what Neo Arcadia conceives as the shining light of hope, X. That doesn't really sound all that great now, does it? Likewise, they deleted Vile's involvement with Neo Arcadia from the history tracks in order to conceal the fact that the government was partially backing up Vile's doings up to the point when he revealed his true colors and wanted to eradicate everybody on the planet he did not deem worthy in order to fulfill his twisted ideology.

To me, it's like this:

X fought alone during most of the Elf War (since Zero had been sealed away and was being studied by what was to become Neo Arcadia) and therefore most of the history records say that it was him who was the defining factor that contributed to the end of the fighting; that he was the one who brought down Vile. Zero appeared pretty much just during the final stages of the Elf War in a copy body, backing up X whilst the Big4 (if they were already around at this point) were busy with crowd control as Repliroids all over the planet tore each other to shreds (by the time of Z1, they had heard of Zero, but never met him face to face. They also seem to be familiar with Omega, as they knew who they were dealing with onboard the crashed Forbidden Ark, but did not seem to have encountered him before either. Same with Vile, they [Harpuia] only knew his name and what he had been infamous for).

Zero turned the tide of the battle by "bossing around" the Darkelf to have her direct all Irregular forces on Vile himself, therefore forcing him to send out his trump card prematurely and without his near all powerful abilities he would have gotten with the Darkelf. X and Zero defeat Omega. However, Zero decides that him being around is too dangerous for the world as history has proven several times over that the bad guys are really interested in the destructive and corruptive potential he possesses and goes off to sleep again, this time with the intention of leaving the world in X' hands, period.

For the next century, X and the Big4 deal with the problems of the post-Elf War world, building Neo Arcadia, trying to rejuvanate the planet and dealing with Irregular criminality, up to the point where X comes to the conclusion that fighting doesn't mean anything to him anymore because no matter how hard he struggles, history will eventually repeat all over. He vanishes to contain the Darkelf with his body's power and somehow his soul transcents into becoming a data lifeform.

Yeah, it's great. The way the third Scarecrow sequence started amused me.

At first I actually thought my console had broken down because it was a very hard, sudden cut with graphic errors on the screen, but the entire sequence was awesome. Personally though, I liked the second one the most with young Bruce Wayne and his dead parents in Crime Alley.

Posted on: 29 August 2009, 12:07:00I finished the game a good 2 hours ago. Damn, what a great game. Could have been a little longer, but every second of it was awesome. And I'm still not done. There's still a lot of riddles I haven't solved and I haven't unlocked all character bios yet, left alone found all of the Arkham runes and patient interviews.

This game is worth every cent, everyone, Batman fan or not, should play this.

Got my limited edition in the mail today. That box is freaking huge.

But dear God, this game is so [tornado fang]ing amazing. The combat, the mood, the story. Absolutely everything. Striking at thugs from the shadows and vanishing before they get to me never gets old. Usage of gadgets is awesome as well. I love how the game manages to implement Batman's detective skills and gadgets when examining a crime scene, looking for hints and traces or attempting to solve the Riddler's challenges. This is really a game which makes you feel like you actually ARE the Batman.

I must say, some areas of the game look like they were taken from survival horror games like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. It actually does get scary from time to time. And the Scarecrow sequences, God, the Scarecrow sequences! Very eerie and actually frightening, yet perfectly examining Batman's psyche and persona.

I've played about a fourth of the game now (currently tracing down Warden Sharp who got taken away by Harley, after the "fight" with Zzasz) and pretty much had to force myself to stop there in order to stop myself from finishing the game in just one sitting.

Awesome game, this is gonna occupy me for a long time I hope.

My latest buy is going to arrive sometime this morning by mail.


(except mine will be the Xbox 360 version).

Sometime next week after I got my paycheck, I'm most likely going to order the Limited Edition Part 1 of CODE GEASS - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 off Archonia. It's a shame that the R2 Limited Editions don't feature the awesome extras of the first season anymore. They only come with a manga volume now (Lelouch of the Rebellion Vol. 4 oddly enough. The first limited Editions had LotR 1 and 2 and Suzaku of the Counterattack Vol. 1), no soundtracks, no sound episodes, not even booklets anymore. Makes me quite sad. It's not even individual DVD cases anymore... Geass must not have sold as good as Bandai had hoped to be apparantly >_> That's what happens when Adult Swim broadcasts stuff late in the night or in the morning when nobody's watching.

*revives thread*

So, anybody except me still watching? It's getting more and more interesting now that Canaan can't see the colors anymore and with Alphard's plan slowly unveiling. I can't say that the series has given me any reason not to continue watching it. It's different from what I'm used to considering Nasu's way of storytelling, then again, this entire setting is not his.

Next episode looks like it'll be Liang Qi strikes back. Can't wait to see her craziness for Alphard leading to her doom. Perhaps even Alphard herself will be her undoing.

Also, full ED is out, and I love it.

Anime & Manga / Re: Mobile Suit Gundam 00

« on: August 26, 2009, 08:44:13 PM »

Probably a pilot from one of the side stories.

Gundam Meister 874 from Mobile Suit Gundam 00P. Gundam Meister of Gundam Sadalsuud, the prototype Dynames.

Gundam Meister 874 (ウマイスター874, Umaisutā 874?)
    Gundam Meister 874 is one of the four Gundam Meisters employed by Celestial Being in the period in which 00P is set. Designated pilot of the Gundam Sadalsuud. Though Meisters are typically referred to by codename, 874 is designated only by number. For unspecified reasons, she does not appear before the other members of the organization. Physically, she looks younger than 10, but her eyes seem far older.

Hanayo (ハナヨ?)
    A manmade AI that is of the same model as Lockon's Haro. Its ear-like flaps gives it a cat-like look. Partners with Fon in missions and provide support for him in the MS. It also acts as a supervisor and unlocks Fon's handcuffs on missions and probably locks them back after missions. Hanayo is able to set up a datalink with Lockon's Haro through Veda. It is confirmed that Meister 874 is inside Hanayo. As shown in Gundam 00F file No.05, Hanayo/Meister 874 can take control over Gundam Plutone.

Due to listening to the Twilight Princess OST as of lately, I decided to put in my old Ocarina of Time N64 cardridge again and play a bit around.

I must be the biggest slowpoke in the history of videogaming, but now, after almost ELEVEN FREAKING YEARS, I've finally beaten the Water Temple!

I had already beaten it sort of two years or so ago on the GameCube version by cheating (>_> Yeah, I know, but I was too frustrated), but now I've finally managed to do it on the N64 version. Now, all I need to do is take on the Kakariko Well and with the combined experience of N64 and GCN, I've beaten all of Ocarina of Time...

Yeah, I feel pretty stupid, yet at the same time I can't help but feel euphoric as well.

So, they've introduced a new character for this story arc...a female D-Wheeler even. Still, what's her point? Only to make Aki jealous? Introducing another possible love interest? Having Aki start riding dueling? And what's with Aki and Sherry suddenly having lipstick from one episode into the next?

So far this season doesn't really get me.
