Finally got around to beating Symphony of the Night. Mad easy for a Castlevania game. Gonna hit up Chronicles on PSN next.

Tactics is an offshoot of Suikoden 4. But I believe it's supposed to be a self contained game. Actually the only one of the series I haven't played.

Ideal play order would be 5,1,2,3,4. But 4 pretty much sucks and is the only game in the series not really connected to the others.

The new PS3 Netflix app is up. Just go to "What's New" under the PS store tab and it will be there to install.

Is 5 really that good that you'd put it before playing the first 2 and best 2?

GTA IV Episodes from Liberty City might become the 2nd game in the franchise to be pulled off of retail shelves and download stores.

Brazilian court passes ruling forbidding the sale of the game due to one song in the expansion disc being unauthorized for use in the game (aka no royalties or permission).

Rockstar responded with documents that approved of the song but it only contained the names of the record label which provided the songs and not the artist. Most likely Rockstar will settle out of court and remove the song similar to GTA San Andreas and the "Hot Coffee" incident.

I meant ideal play order in terms of story. Since 5 comes before 1 story wise. In terms of overall quality, personally I'd say 2,5,3,1,4.

I never understood the rationale of playing a prequel before the game it comes before chronologically, instead of in the order it was released. Yes, the events take place before the others but isn't the point that it reveals details that you couldn't gather at first? Like you wouldn't watch Star Wars for the first time starting at Episode 1 and go through Episode 6. Would ruin the surprise of Darth Vader being Luke's father. You know

Didn't wanna make a new thread, and most of you guys who'd know this stuff post in here anyway, so here goes...

I think my 360's ethernet port may have shit out. The last month or so my internet connection to Live would go out from time to time, but it'd always connect again no problem. Though it would sometimes disconnect again several minutes later.

But today, after getting home from Best Buy to buy New Vegas, I turn on the 360 and bam, no connection to the network at all. I kept trying, nothing. Tried using the cable that goes from the modem to the router and plugging it directly into the 360, nothing. Just to make sure nothing was wrong with the whole ethernet/USB port back there I plugged in a Play and Charge and it worked fine.

So, assuming the port's done, wat do? Preferably something as wallet friendly as possible

I assumed you did all the network tests on the XB dashboard?

Yes sir, pretty much an instant "Unable to connect to the network"

Damn, sounds like it's dead.

You probably will need to get the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter since it uses the USB ports if you want to play online or pay $50-$99 to get the Ethernet port fixed by Microsoft.

Not only that, but a lot of the stuff in prequels is written with viewers/players of the prior material in mind. Star Wars is a good example, yet again.

Seems to be $99 regardless to send it in. For that price I can just buy the damn adapter. Goddamnit

Probably for the best anyway, about to move into a new apartment where having the 360 wired won't really be an option. But still, this blows cox

You can set up a wireless bridge. I think it's still cheaper than the WiFi adapter.

Not sure what to get tomorrow.

Fallout New Vegas, DJ Hero 2, or Ultimate Ninja Storm.

Yeah I know, "ZOMG FALLOUT WTF". I still feel a bit burnt out on Fallout, and this isn't a true sequel, but it's fallout so I dunno.

Even though I know Naruto is just an anime game that will lose it's novelty faster than the other two, I just can't get over how amazing it looks. And the demo was really fun.

DJ Hero has a lot of good looking mixes, and I really enjoyed the first one.

Save you money for next week?

Only things I want next week are SvsR 2011, and the Undead Nightmare DLC, so I don't need to save.

Rock Band 3? Didn't I ask you about that before?

Get New Vegas tho.

I'm just not all that pumped for Rockband.

Space Channel 5 2 coming to XBLA and PSN :heart:

Also Sega Bass Fishing, I guess.

"Enjoy the emotions of the best games in the reality of your home."

Sony has quietly sneaked in a game region-locking "feature" in PS3 firmwares since 3.30, the cunts. Hopefully publishers don't use it.

Or the soccer moms who are gonna buy it.

Redesign.

You can dress your avatar from the site now. Do know why I like this.

They didn't have naruto or dj hero, so I went with Fallout.

Wonder if I'll even see those games out here. One of the few disadvantages to living where I do.

Amazon

MCR are doing the title track for GT5, if it ever comes out.

OIn the plus side, the game breaking flaws should be patched soon.

For those who didn't pick up the God of War Trilogy disc set, Sony is set to release God of War I & II on PSN at some point in November.

These are the same HD remakes found in the Trilogy set although instead of being sold as a set, both games have to be purchased individually.

No exact date in November nor a price for each game was announced yet.

In comparison, current sales of the Trilogy disc set is around 70,000 - 100,000 copies sold.
