Picked up Lumines. I already own it for PS2 and PSP, but I am still seeing a lot of these skins for the first time. I had put away the PS2 version because it was so blurry, but this . . . looks so good now! I played for about an hour and I don't think I blinked the entire time!

Picked up the LPB set and will get into that tomorrow. I haven't played in a while and I hear there is a new improved search function (the reason I wasn't playing) so I am excited for that.

Also picked up CC as well on the advice of other Gaffers. Definitely doesn't disappoint. I still suck at it (only played about 30 mins against bots), but this looks to be a great multiplayer diversion. Hopefully the online will be busy for the next month or so until KZ2 releases.

This I might pick up Suikoden for when I complete Valkyria Chronicles. How does Suikoden hold up? I see that it is sprite based, so the graphics shouldn't be an issue. For those that have played it, what RPG would you compare it to?

Christmas is great. Thanks for the great update Sony.

Yeah, I own both on the PSP, completed 100% both on the PSP, and own the PS2 version and I feel compelled to buy this. I also bought the PC one for my brother last Christmas.

 

[sykoex]

How does Suikoden 1 compare to 2? I haven't played any of the games, but isn't 2 generally considered the better one? Is this like when Capcom put Alpha 1 on PS store when everyone really wanted Alpha 2 or 3?

I have my credit card out ready to buy, I'm just a little weary as I've never tried this series before.

 

[zoku88]

There was a PS2 version of Lumines?

 

[Volcynika]

There was a PS2 version of Lumines?

Yeah, only $20 too.

 

[zoku88]

Yeah, only $20 too.

Huh, for some reason I have no recollection of it ever existing.

 

[Volcynika]

I only knew it existed when I saw it at the store once. :lol

Suikoden 2 is the better one(I love the first one), but the timeline is almost directly after 1. A lot of characters come back from the first and it's good to know how it all starts out.. I liked 2 largely because of 1. I don't have a PS3, just clicked on the thread because I'm jealous.

 

[Lain]

I hope suikoden 2 is to follow next since I still have my copy of suikoden 1.

BIOHAZARD 3?!?!?!?!

 

[kuYuri]

BIOHAZARD 3?!?!?!?!

Out in Japanese store?

EDIT: Yes, it is. Damn it, why can't we get RE: DC here?

 

[Blablurn]

SCEE - Never disappoints.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Might get Suikoden. Missed out on all of them. Got so many games to play now though.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

For those who are not familiar with Suikoden, here is a gameplay video. Looks like hot, sprite-based, old school RPG goodness.

[Aru]

At last Suikoden is out !

I don't know if I already talked about this on GAF, but I'll tell it right there.

I recently talked with one of my cousin who played the game the same time as me. He remembers as well as me that only ONCE (we could never do this twice, so maybe it was a bug ?), at the beginning of the game when

Spoiler

Windy sends some guards to catch Ted in McDohl's house, I actually kept Ted in my team ! IIRC, Gremio stayed behind (not sure about that, but I'm SURE that Ted stayed with me). I started the game many times after this and I never got Ted in my team.

. I wasn't dreaming and my memories aren't fooling me (because we are 2 people to remember it, we coulnd't be dreaming at the same time, no ? )

I can't check on GFaqs (I'm at work), but when I search the Internet for that some time ago, I don't remember finding anything about it.

 

[tribal24]

sigh i just wasted 37$ on psn tonight got singstar songs, lumines , mgs lbp, and disagaea charecters. this is as bad as the time i wasted 55$ when wipeout hd came out. psn is amaizng right now

 

[Ashour]

Got LBP MGS pack, the new character for hot shot gold (it’s free after all) and Suikoden, though I made a stupid mistake and bought it with my second account so now I can’t play it on the PSP unless I activate it with that account and if I do, all the other games I already downloaded won’t be playable, I’m disappointed that there isn’t a Lumines demo as I’ve never played it before and I’m not gona pay $15 until I try it.

Good week overall and just in time since there won’t be any updates until the 8th of January.

SCEE - Never disappoints.

SCEE needs a blog for people to know when they are going to release things, and why are things delayed.

Whats been delayed? Penny Arcade, Street Fighter... what else?

I'll send a bulk of questions to them after Christmas, or in the new year.

 

[postaboy]

A little HELP here please.

How the hetch are you supposed to save in Suikoden?
When I try saving, it asked for a memory card slot which i don't have. I have a 20gig ps3 and I don't think my 20gig ps3 has a memory slot. Do i popped in a flash drive into the PS3 USB to save? Don't tell me that I wasted $5.99 on a game that I cannot save at all.

Thanks

Right now I'm also mad at the lack of Fallout 3 patch for non-english speakers.

And maybe today you will have to add lumines to that list (I hope not).

You have to create a (virtual) PS1 memory card inside the XMB.

Go to the game menu on XMB and scroll up to the PS1/PS2 memory utility option. Make a PS1 one. Didn't it tell you to when you first started the game up?

oh that's how you do it. thanks for the help.

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

No such luck for a morning update to UK PSN.

Go on SCEE, entirely miss the Christmas deadline and force us to wait til the new year for any new content. Perhaps the shitstorm that would create would finally have some of these assholes fired and replaced.

Hope youre all enjoying your shitload of content

 

[PuppetMaster]

I just downloaded and watched Plus for the first time. Pretty boring but damn that chick is hot!! I will keep downloading future episodes because of this.


Also I am getting pretty damn annoyed with the HOME icon being ahead of the PS Store icon. I keep accidentally entering Home when I just want the bloody store! The menu scheme that I have been using for the past 2 years or so has been switched up from me and I don't like it! I bet this was an intentional decision by Sony too.

 

[Kuroyume]

I did, I hated it, it's a little hard to get the sheep to follow the direction of the light shining down on them.

That sucks.

Oh god, is everyone gonna be calling is Plus now? First everyone calling Qore "Cwore", now this. Sony needs to "idiot test" these names. :lol

 

[lupinko]

No one buy Jeopardy it's garbage,

Spoiler

I sadly bought it when it came out,

if you want a GOOD quiz game, just buy PS3 Buzz! QuizTV, comes with 4 wireless buzzers and has all that neat dlc.

Which reminds me, I have to pick that up during this boxing day if possible.

 

[ZeMMiK]

no sign of savage moon yet??

 

[sykoex]

no sign of savage moon yet??

Nope, just wallpapers.

They already have ads for it in the EU Home spaces. I think we can expect it sometime in January.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Suikoden Merry Christmas indeed.

 

[DeyTukRJerbs]

UK store is updated.

LBP packs are £4.79 each.

 

[Rolf NB]

I think I'm just about done with SCEE at this point. So what's the cheapest way to procure US PSN prepaid cards in Europe? Play-asia?

 

[sykoex]

Is lumines a good "podcast game" or do you have to be able to hear the techno music and stuff to play it?

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

UK store finally updated!

No Lumines, but Savage Moon is out. Toro free as well for Golf..

*thrusts himself upon LBP MGS packs with reckless abandon*

Sony does not want my money.

 

[BillyG_3001]

They need to hurry up & release Street Fighter HD!
I'm gonna get it regardless but I would prefer they release it before Street Fighter IV comes out, I'm sure more people would buy it before SF IV comes & not afterwards

Man, if we can have an EG character the size of Toro, we MUST get Sackboy!!

PLEASE!!

We'll never get it. Most of the PS1 games released in the US haven't been released in europe, and vice versa. Let's not even talk about Japan
