Try not to blame your local Gamestop for shitty haps. We got an email from head office told to release the game on Tuesday.... February 4th... x(
Having worked retail for almost ten years (including a 4 year stint at GS) I know what's the fault of the clerk and what's outside their control. I'd never go after a clerk for shitty corporate policies. |

Maybe I'll try Target on the way home from work. I went to the GameStop I had it reserved from, a Best Buy and a Walmart and none had it in stock.

Seconding monoprice. They're a fantastic vendor if you need cheap cabling. If you want branded cables, remember that the PS3 component cables are quite literally exactly the same as the PS2's. Same port on both consoles.

Very excited for Ys Celceta, though I'm not going to hold my breath on Valhalla Knights 3 being any good. The previous games have been historically not-so-great.

It's a spinoff of the original Devil Summoner. Pretty much if you've played like Persona 2, you should know generally what to expect. Two rows of characters and 90s era RPG combat.

Did anybody else really enjoy the cell shaded Prince of Persia? I thought it was a very calming game to sit down and run through. Ending was fun as well. If they were going to do a sequel I think we would have seen it by now. I'm always disappointed when a game takes a risk and it doesn't succeed. The next PoP will probably resemble Assassins Creed.
Weird that you bring this up today, as Ubisoft announced yesterday that the series is on hiatus. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/29/prince-of-persia-franchise-pausedDoesn't seem like they're abandoning it, and I think this may be because it was running parallel with Assassin's Creed and had relatively similar gameplay styles on the surface. |

Klyde, it's good to know that you have positive thoughts about working at a GameStop. As someone who worked at one for four years through college, I have to tell you, though, that your experience will be more like this:
Shelve and alphabetize games constantly that soccer moms and kids with fudge-covered hands have stuck in bizarre places, listen to the same three teenagers talk about Call of Duty because they won't leave the shop, have people yell at you because you're only giving them 50 cents for their precious copy of Madden NFL 2007 for the PlayStation 2, and have people legitimately threaten you with violence over GameStop policies that you have no control over.

The colour of the shapes matter. On one peice of paper the first two shapes are blue, giving you the first 2 numbers for the combination. The second peice of paper has the last two shapes as blue, giving you the last two numbers. The same, but in reverse for the red key. The fist two shapes on the second peice of paper are red, giving you the first two numbers, and the last two shapes on the first peice of paper are red, giving you the last two numbers.
EDIT: I just realised you said you only had one peice of paper. You don't have all the clues yet. That'll be your problem. Haha.
I've looked everywhere and touched everything! How could I be missing a clue? Oh, what the hell. I have the picture of the boat, and the one ticket like I explained. I guess I'll have to do some more searching. I can see this game is going to drive me crazy. Thanks for the help. That first room has a little cabinet thing that doesn't initially look like it would be a clickable object. That and check under all the pillows. |

Is the New Vegas DLC really not good? I've been waiting for years to get that game, but I wanted the DLC because FO3 had really good DLC. Man...I can get for, like, under $10 without the DLC now...And I got the Ultimate Edition sitting in my Amazon cart, waiting for me to finally have the opportunity to get it...
Anyways...I just got Ni no Kuni, and all of a sudden I have a powerful urge to play a grid-based RPG with explorable levels...which Ni no Kuni most definitely is not. Why do I always have these stupid urges at the worst times? Might just grab a demo and get it out of me. Anybody know if any of the Heroes of Magic games, Rainbow Moon, or, Wakfu play like RPG adventures with grid-based movement and gameplay? I suppose there's also Fallout, which I already bought...but that game raped the hell outta me when I last attempted it...
Old World Blues is amazing. Worth the price alone. Since I have more time to flesh out this opinion... New Vegas has a really mixed bag of DLC. Dead Money is pretty bad. Honest Hearts is pretty easy, but is a good, fun romp if you just want to destroy something. Plus it gives you some pretty good weaponry for... Old World Blues, which is pretty much the best piece of DLC I've ever played in an RPG. It's got the great 50s sci fi aesthetic, totally crazy and lovable characters, but it is TOUGH. Lots of mechanical enemies with high armor and you will die a lot. It's worth it, though. I didn't play Lonesome Road, but I've heard good things about it. |
