SSX Tricky! Wow...that's cheap!

I'd also recommend anyone to pickup NBA Street if they don't already have it. GREAT app.

spooky3ce

:link:

I could go for a few new games...

BEETROOT

nahooneyya

im headin out for this! ^___^

BEETROOT

I actually got there right as they were opening, and the video game guys hadn't even heard of the sale yet. They said the prices aren't effective until they actually change the tags, which might not happen until tomorrow. I paid $9.99 for all of those (except Rocky which was 99 cents)... but if I go in tomorrow once they change the tags I can get refunded the difference.


oh and ssx tricky rocks.

srika

two titles I never bought, that I liked...

Minch00

Beet................why five copies of Rocky?

srika

give the gift of Rocky?

BEETROOT

caus it was 99 cents... figured I'd pass them out to people at work or my friends or whatever.









cashier: wow, you really like Rocky huh

me: yep

rise

someone likes rocky?!

nahooneyya

bleh!

no reduced prices where i went to...

those bastards!

maybe try back tomorrow...

BEETROOT

they didn't have the real reduced prices up on anything but rocky where I went either... but I asked the guy in the game dept about it and he showed me the price sheet of what they would be changing to when they get around to putting the new price tags up. So I paid more now and will get refunded the difference tomorrow...

i'm pissed they didn't have 99 cent pinball.

Lister00169

I saw that on good ol slick deals. Picking up the following

GC:
Metal Gear Solid - Twin Snakes
Viewtiful Joe
NBA Street 2
Paper Mario 2

PS2:
SSX Tricky
Silent Hill 4

Yumcha

Nice pickups!

I wish MGS: Twin Snakes was available for the PS2...
(yes, yes, I know, I could just buy the PSX version of it...but still...updated graphics!)

Lister00169

Hehe, I've been playing the O.G. PSX version for about a week now. I love that game, eventhough the acting in MGS2 is much better and not-so cheesy (sans the scenes in Arsenal Gear ).

Yumcha

Well, if we were to rank the MGs, I'd say MG3 is better than MG2...But, that's just me.

Can't wait for 4 to release on the PS3!

Lister00169

Haven't played 3 yet, kinda afraid I will suck donkey balls without the Radar .

MGS4 will be the shit; one of the main reasons to buy one (though I doubt it will be a launch title).

People....pick up Twin Snakes enjoy Hideo Kojima's table scraps for $4.99 .

Yumcha

OMG. Play MG3...!

And seriously, without radar, you'll be fine.

Minch00

Man I've gotta get out of class and check this out

Acuraluvr

iTrader: (2)

just in that store???

BEETROOT

no, all best buys.

YOTH

I swung by one and no such sale...they didn't even know of one. Sorry.

kensteele

If I sold my PS2 already and plan to get the PS3, should I still buy a bunch of these games?

iamhomin

I guess I could stop by tomorrow.

ZeroPSI

any updates on the if this is up and going yet?

rise

I bought Driv3r.
I haven't opened it.
I'm tempted to return it.

LalchandYamlajat

Its a boring game.

rise

Good thing I didn't open it. Maybe I can get credit for it at EB or gamestop

BEETROOT

yeah drivers not that great...it was ok when it came out, but that was a while ago.

I gotta swing by today and see if they changed the prices....or else I'm returning all these crappy games I got.

bigman

Still nothing where i live. I really dont care about the crappy games they hav for sale. I just want to buy some of the games for my little cousins that dont know any better.

AznImports602

So how long is the sale still going, cause I want MGS: twin snakes, that game is awesome since I never played the ps1 version.

BEETROOT

I think it was a one day thing or something..I went today and nothing going.

BEETROOT

well... Cabelas Deer Hunter 2005 is by far the worst video game I've ever played, and thats counting all systems dating back to the original atari.

srika

lol.. too funny.

BEETROOT

I have to share...it was so bad it was funny...(and its Friday afternoon and I had a couple beers at lunch so I'm just killing time until I can leave work )

First, I'm pretty sure the narrator guy in the game is Jeff Foxworthy. That alone is bad enough.

You drive around on this 4 wheeler to go hunting. The controls just for this thing are awful...it starts off really slow, then shoots up really fast, and the steering is completely erratic. It slides on the dirt like you are driving on a sheet of ice. When you crash the screen flashes and you are just standing up again, and Jeff Foxworthy says 'who taught you how to drive'. The same thing, every time. Plus, it actually scrolls the text of 'who taught you how to drive' across the screen. I'm guessing they added the voiceover after the text, since the typical player of this game probably can't read. If you crash into a lake or stream, you pop up on one side of the stream and your 4 wheeler on the other (if you walk into the stream, you just stroll along underwater until you die - Jeff Foxworthy informs you of this when the screen goes dark).

So I crashed my vehicle into a river, and couldn't get to the other side, so I took off on foot. Your guy gets tired after about 20 steps so you have to stop for him to rest (and presumably jam another tin of skoal in his mouth).

You get to carry I think 5 or 6 items on you when you go out, and each item counts the same no matter what size it is. A rack of antlers takes up the same amount of room as a scope. Now a ps2 controller has what, a dozen buttons? Only 3 of them do anything. To use one of your items you press the 'item' button, which pauses the game, then you can scroll through your stuff. Its listed left to right, and you can only move the selection to the right...so to get item #5 you press: Item button - right right right right. Your binocular thing is the 5th item, and you can't see shit without it, so every time you want to switch from gun to binocular to map...its a whole process. Odd that they couldn't just assign an item to a button...

When you use the scope, every single time, it pops up a message "USE THE LEFT ANALOG STICK TO CONTROL THE SCOPE - PRESS LEFT/RIGHT TO MOVE TO THE SIDES, UP/DOWN TO LOOK UP AND DOWN". Right in the middle of the view through the scope, for about 5 seconds.

So I went wandering around looking for deer through some poorly animated forests, fumbling through the controls, almost got eaten by a wolf but got a lucky shot and killed it (it disappeared immediately after I shot it)... and finally found a deer in a stream. I shot it. This part was actually kind of cool, the camera follows the bullet and you see it smack the deer in the neck. So I ran over to my kill, hit x to claim it, and got $200. I guess I can use that to buy more bullets later.

Thats it, thats all you do. You can go to different forests and hunt different species of deer, but I doubt I'll ever put this game back into my playstation.

srika

hahah I was dying laughing at work reading that... lol... jeff foxworthy... especially the first 3 odd paragraphs... guess they gone wanted to keep it simple huh... muh

Yumcha

Niiiiice...I think I should buy it just for the experience!

BEETROOT

I'll sell ya mine

rise

50 cents shipped. let me know
