uggh, wtf was IGN thinking

"i wonder what boogers taste like"

 

[Sanjay]

were they trying to parody west wing with the intro at the start?

See: Season 1 of the 1UP show.

 

[Fuzzy]

Nobody saved a screen capture of Kathleen getting flipped off for the next time she says something GAF doesn't like?

 

[RaidenZR]

That bugged me too, none of the interesting imports were shown.

Elebits, Pangya, Ennichi no Tatsujin, etc.

And where was Kororinpa? No one's talking about the fuggin' ball game and it looked like fun from videos.

 

[whatdidyousay]

Nice show this week!

Lost Planet looks great and I was really glad to hear the environments are varied. I forgot all about GunValkyrie until Ryan mentioned it, and then my hands immediately remembered the clunky controls.

My tech wish for the 1UP folks: Release a 640x360 (or higher) PS3-friendly version.

 

[MrSardonic]

Mark: "don't worry, it's not with you" :lol. Needs to grow his beard back though.

 

[Y2Kev]

Can we get a PS3 download please? I'll echo that sentiment.

For some retarded reason, the PSP version won't download to the PS3...I have no idea why. Zip file?

 

[duk]

Luke needs to grow back his beard.

 

[elostyle]

I get to download this with about 10kb/s.

What is it with 1up and being pretty much unreachable from europe?

i get ~600 when downloading

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

She left too.

damn, that sucks

 

[DarkAngelYuna]

Don't worry 1up still has Karen, shes the best girl in the entire world.

 

[armubaba]

I liked this week's episode. Especially the opening .


I can't wait for the sextacular.

Great show as always. I ended up watching this then listening to 1up Yours all in one go. Got to bed around 2:30am.

I had a very similar expression to Luke's during that scene.

Speaking of Luke. Were you sick man? You looked completely out of it the entire show.

I don't understand the GAF hate for Wii Play. It's one of the most fun games I've played in years (you need more than one person though). And it's basically a free game with another Wiimote. This along with Wii Sports are two games I never expected to like, let alone love.

Sad to hear I won't be watching anymore shows until January. I'm going to have to find something else to get excited about when the weekend rolls around.

 

[Zombie James]

I don't understand the GAF hate for Wii Play.

It's because Atari 2600 games have more depth (that's what they said on the show, wasn't it?).

 

[TheGreatDave]

GAF hates Wii Play? Really? It's gotta be worth £5.

I really liked the show this week. Kathleen included, disliked her after her dramatic comeback but everything she did this week was good. Maybe it was the lack of dog.

 

[:Motorbass]

Yeah, the Wii play tank game could be pretty hard if you don't realize you could actually fcking move with the dpad or the nunchuck. -.-

I was playing this coop with my brother and the more we played it, the better it gets. It's quite hard to reach later levels because the enemies get harder and have different shots and behaviors. But you discover several strategies for every level like setting up mines near a wall then wait until an enemy tank comes near and then blowing up the mine by shooting at it. It's awesome if you're not competing for points actually.

I wanna see a pumped up version for download plz.

 

[jarosh]

HOLY SHIT. tell me this isn't true. you can move the tanks and 1up missed that? HOLY SHIT

 

[elostyle]

?

I still get 95kbit/s with more buffering than watching

 

[Graphics Horse]

HOLY SHIT. tell me this isn't true. you can move the tanks and 1up missed that? HOLY SHIT

Certainly looked like that to me :lol

edit: I can't quite belive that really, but the footage they showed seemed to suggest that.

 

[Rlan]

Wii Play is okay. Sure, it's a couple of bucks, but even Wii Sports, which was free for everywhere but Japan, at least had some fleshing out.

I mean, would it have killed them to add different game types to the Pool game other than "Hit them in the order of numbers"? No Eight Ball? Snooker? It's not like I'll ever BUY A Snooker game.

 

[Diatribe]

are there any spoilers for MGSO in that video?

 

[mrkgoo]

HOLY SHIT. tell me this isn't true. you can move the tanks and 1up missed that? HOLY SHIT

It is true. I watched the podcast, and it seemed liked they missed a few things about wii play (whihc tehy may have subsequently discovered after filming the episode):

1) The duck hunt type game, you get bonuses for successive hits without missing - the way they were rapid firing suggests they didn't know this (though, it is fun and a legitimate strategy to go nuts like that - my GF did this and beat me :/)

2) You can move the tanks using the nunchuck or d-pad. You can also lay mines using A.

3) They talk about the game being only worth like $5...which it is, seeing as you only pay US$5-$10 on top of the bundled wiimote.

 

[Wario64]

HOLY SHIT. tell me this isn't true. you can move the tanks and 1up missed that? HOLY SHIT

Is this really a surprise? Kinda makes you think twice about their reviews.

 

[rod furlong]

It was a bunch of people sitting around drinking beer and playing. It wasn't a review, jesus.

Nice work if you can get it

 

[skip]

how is this related to our reviews in any way? your trolling can be pretty pathetic at times.

 

[jarosh]

it's just kinda funny that luke made fun of the game because of that and mark 'admitted' that it wasn't as 'deep' as the atari game and still kinda defended it - when none of this was even remotely necessary.
eh, i still love the 1up guys. it's just... very odd. lol

 

[dammitmattt]

The animation and frame rate in MGPO looked TERRIBLE, especially the hand-to-hand combat where Snake is a good foot away from actually making contact with the bad guy. Blown up or not, I expected MUCH more.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

anyone else get a metroid vibe from some of the Lost Planet video? Not Prime mind you, but what 3d metroid may have looked like?

 

[Dahbomb]

Is this really a surprise? Kinda makes you think twice about their reviews.

Well in their defense, they probably didn't think the games had that additional level of depth and they were all probably drunk as hell.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I hope to christ Luke doesn't review Lost Planet. :lol

Yeah, I thought it looked like shit too.

Why? My score would be the right one. :lol

Glad Kathleen wasn't too wierded-out by the request for the hula-hooping gif! :lol

 

[coldvein]

I'm a few days late on this, but... Are there significant MG Portable Ops spoilers in this sucka?

 

[Stabby McSter]

Don't worry 1up still has Karen, shes the best girl in the entire world.

I concur.

 

[morph]

luke's review of lost planet.

7.5

reviewer comment: its not excactly halo3 is it now! tisk-tisk!


:lol

 

[duk]

Why? My score would be the right one. :lol

:lol 8.0 confirmed!

 

[GhaleonEB]

Why? My score would be the right one. :lol

With all due respect, your take on it so far seems to be...unusual.

 

[radjago]

really? i don't remember it being touted as a MP killer. great game nonetheless. speaking of which, we need some new smilebit games.

Um... Smilebit got reabsorbed into Sega after they merged with Sammy. Makes me wonder where all the good Sega devs went.

 

[LukeSmith]

With all due respect, your take on it so far seems to be...unusual.

All you've read/seen is "preview." :lol

 

[Karma Kramer]

Luke quick question... what made you change your mind from liking the game "alot" at E3 2006 to not liking the game 6 months later?

It seems like your complaints aren't genuine because you only recently voiced your opinion about them, when you could have voiced the same complaints back at E3. (glowing weak-points... simple AI... linear gameplay)

You certainly don't see the flaws in a compact demo experience, do you? I played a version of the game around TGS, a seven level build and it was sometime during that where my perspective changed. I think LP demos very well -- I don't think it's got enough behind it to go much beyond that, however. I still plan on playing through it.

So your main complaint then is that the gameplay is repetitive and dated?

 

[Rorschach]

The episode was funny, but MGS was the only thing I really cared about. Luke looked bored out of his ****ing mind. :lol

Agreed.
