Updating my 360's list with Protect Me Knight.

-EDIT-
Now with Castle Crashers since it's the last thing that I wanted that's on sale before saying good bye to gold membership this Saturday... *sigh*

why did you waste money on that?

One of two reasons I hate Live, you have to [tornado fang]ing pay for it. (The other reason is that even paying for it, you still get [tornado fang]ing adverts.)

Already sounding like my brother, which to me translates into "Why bother getting an Xbox 360?". Yeah, its stupid that they make people suffer through ads after paying the damn fee (which is why I gave them less-than-favorable feedback on Xbox LIVE Rewards), but its the only to get XBLA games discounted -- when they actually put games worth buying -- rather than wait a year or so for its price to go down. Plus since Microsoft got a working rewards program, I managed to get MS Points just by using the "allegedly" free apps like YouTube and Crackle (yeah it's pocket change for the most part, but at least I got use to the money for Xbox LIVE Indie Games like Protect Me Knight).

Back on topic, while I suffer through the lonesome not being able to play online with my Xbox (especially for Senko no Ronde with only 4 people I know that plays it other than Vixy when she's not busy amassing Achievements, is normally all the time -- no offense), I finally got La-Mulana on WiiWare, and so far its pretty good. (Other games I got today non-downloadables I got are Splatterhouse Remake and House of the 2 & 3 Returns.)

I was able to help you with a couple of SnR matches if I'm not mistaken. ^^;

When I'm finished with a game I usually just head over to another one.

True, but what of those times I justed have fun with some other games that I tried asking for just for the sake of having fun, you know? And it's not people like me can get good at shooters like you are. Even though I've 100% some my games' Achievements like Bayonetta, Virtual-ON OT, Sonic CD, and Guardian Heroes I won't ignore them afterwards. Now with my Gold membership, I'll have deal with being not able to any games with anybody, let alone talk with anybody on voice-chat. Sorry if this comes off in the wrong way...

Also, I really like new avatar.

[VixyNyan]

Very easy 30 minutes or 1 hour completions on each game too.

[Hypershell]

Just downloaded Nano Assault Neo.  A little on the easy side, but really awesome.  Well worth the 10 bucks.

EDIT: Maybe spoke too soon on the difficulty.  Things get a little rough once you unlock the third cluster.  Still plenty doable after some practice, though.

Guys when I unpack and hook-up my 360 Imma get Xbawks Live and we're gonna play cool [parasitic bomb]. Partially I need recommendations, but as my one friend said once, I have a gift for picking good games out, be it from a shelf or list. (This was said when he got a TurboGrfx ROM pack and every game I double-clicked on kicked ass and whenever he insisted on picking something or went "Oh such-and-such might be cool" it sucked dicks)

This is also where I first learnt of those Shinobi and Kunoichi games, Ninja Warrior or whatever.

[ViperAcidZX]

Can't go wrong with....

XBLA Games:
- The classic Sonic the Hedgehog series (1, 2, 3&Knuckles, and CD)
- Virtual-ON series
- The Dishwasher series
- Streets of Rage series
- Golden Axe series
- Wonder Boy/Monster World series
- Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown and Virtua Fighter 2
- Fighting Vipers and by extension Sonic The Fighters (although I've never played either before but gonna pick them up on XBLA when they come out)
- Awesomenaughts
- Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
- Guardian Heroes
- NiGHTS into dreams...
- Crazy Taxi
- Ecco the Dolphin (although can annoying at timess)
- Toejam & Earl (haven't played these either, but heard good things about it)
- Mark of the Ninja
- Shank series
- Penny Arcade Adventure series
- Dust: An Elysian Tail (basically, the Xbox 360's unintenional Vanillaware game)
- Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
- Terraria (when it comes out)
- Trine 2
- Castle Crashers (too bad I can't play this anyone...)
- Alien Homonid HD
- Hard Corp: Uprising (despite the looks and shoddy dubbing, it's a Contra game at heart)

Xbox Indie Games
- Beat Hazard (don't play this if you're prune to seizure as this doesn't kid around with it strobing effects)
- Breath of Death VII: The Beginning and Chtulhu Saves the Word (fun and quirky RPG parodies with an interessting branching level-up system)
- lumi (kinda like Ecco the Dolphin but you use magnetism to solve puzzles)
- Protect Me Knight
- Blocks that Matter
- Sequence (a mix DDR and an RPG but it's pretty fun and playable with a controller)

-EDIT-
There's a Black Friday sale on Xbox LIVE available for everybody (including us poor folks that can't afford gold membership). I went got SVC: Streets of Rage (even though I have Streets of Rage Remake on PC but I to get better at my own pace), but no more buying on impluse for me until the Model2 Collection arrives.

[Mirby]

got crashmo, liberation maiden, and zelda 2. list updated accordingly

[ViperAcidZX]

Finally got Scott Pilgrim since it's on sale for everyone on Xbox Live (why can't they have sales like this for people without freaking gold membership?) and the Knives Chau DLC. Sucks I won't be able to get the Wallace DLC whenever it arrives since I'm 40 MSP shy of 400.

[Police Girl]

Got Sonic the Fighters on PSN.

[VixyNyan]

Got Sonic the Fighters on PSN.

Did you complete it 100% in 5-10 minutes yet?

[Police Girl]

Did you complete it 100% in 5-10 minutes yet?

Yep.

Played as Honey (Honey the Cat)
Wiped the Floor with Knuckles (Perfect and STAGE 1 CLEAR)
Smacked Amy Around (Barrier Breaker and STAGE 2 CLEAR)
Brought the Pain to Bark (STAGE 3 CLEAR)
Got [tornado fang]'d up by Espio a lot but eventually beat him (STAGE 4 CLEAR)
Twisted up Tails (STAGE 5 CLEAR)
[tornado fang]'d up Fang (STAGE 6 CLEAR)
Beat up Beat (STAGE 7 CLEAR)
Pointlessly beat Sonic and Metal Sonic before getting beaten by "Robotonic"
Went into VS Mode as Amy and Amy (Mirror Match)
Smacked Amy in the head with Mirror Amy (A Small Transformation)

Easiest Trophies Ever.

[VixyNyan]

Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter 2 are the same deal, just takes a little longer. It took some time to figure out that you could undress Honey(Candy) after 10 wins in 2 player matches during Arcade Mode and unlock the trophy for that.

[Police Girl]

Haha, that's awesome.

Gotta love that, they could've made some of the trophies be complete ass, like "Never take damage" or "Unlock Super Sonic" but they thought that most people would have difficulties with that it seems.

[Archer]

Isn't the point of trophies/achievements to reward you for actually achieving something

[Police Girl]

Isn't the point of trophies/achievements to reward you for actually achieving something

Well, yes.

Though the line between "achieving something" and "unfair challenge for a few measly worthless points" is very thin.

Then again the line between "achieving something" and "free giveaway" is almost non-existant as well.

[ViperAcidZX]

Yeah, even Scott Pilgrim's Achievements/Trophies so far borders on this, although some can be earn pretty much effortlessly through game-breaking. I just got the Starmie Achievement by maxing out Scott on the VERY FIRST level and plow the rest of the way through.
And before I get asked by "Starmie Achievement?", look at what the image for "One Man Army" Achievement looks like.

-EDIT-
Should I get the first Ace Attorney game on WiiWare? I got $11 in points left and I've wanting to get into the series for a long while now.

Posted on: December 04, 2012, 11:37:00 PMAs of today, consider Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Hell Yeah! in my list of downloadable game! Though I'm gonna be ticked if NiGHTS shows up on sale during Xbox LIVE's countdown to the apocalypse.

[Mirby]

Added the following to my list:
DSiWare
Anonymous Notes Chapter 3 -From The Abyss-

3DS eShop
NightSky
Aero Porter
Crimson Shroud

3DS Virtual Console
Wario Land II

[Police Girl]

Wario Land 2 Added.

Now hurry up with WL3, NoA. That way I can have all the Wario Lands that aren't Virtual Boy or Shake it on one handheld.

Posted on: December 21, 2012, 05:47:22 AMSo JP Mario 2 and Blue Guy 1 came out on the US 3DS VC.

[VixyNyan]

Took a while didn't it? ^^;

Added Rockman 6 and the shmup Recca to my 3DS, updating list someday.

[Police Girl]

Balloon Fight is up on the Wii U for 30 cents for the next month.

Got it. Go get it. F-zero might be next.

[Hypershell]

Already got it for free as a 3DS Ambassador, but less than a frikkin' postage stamp, I guess it's hard to argue against a WiiU upgrade.  Still, F-Zero is what I'm REALLY waiting for.

[ViperAcidZX]

The Scott Pilgrim Wallace Wells + Online Multiplayer DLC hits next week. The DLC will be 400 160 MSP ($2). Not sure if I should get since I only have 200 ($2.50) left at the moment...
