Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Prince of Persia: WW Combat...I stink like fish :(

Hey all, I just started playing PoP:WW the other day. I played through and loved PoP:SoT. Great game. While I am willing to look past all of the common complaints about WW that people throw out there, there is one thing that's killing me.
I suck at combat.
You have to be precise with your button presses to make combat go smoothly and I am a'mashing in this one. How did you all learn to fight? I fing that I am just blocking then attacking. It's not free flowing, it's not smooth, and it's not fun. What did you all do? Two weaps? Or one hand for grabs? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Nintendo Revolution - touchpad controllers?

Come on third party Nintendo!!!! Funny thing is that this seems to be closer to reality than before. Iwata said something like, "Sony is the only competition we have next generation"...maybe Microsoft is buying Nintendo or they're merging the games departments. I know it's unimaginable, but I've seen stranger things... I wish they would. They could stay in the handheld console market, but make games for Xbox and PS. That would be wonderful.

Non-Gaming / Trading Forum / Looking for Xbox PoP:WW

After reading ATB's post about PoP:WW, I want to play it now. Does anyone have this for Xbox that they want to sell? I don't have stuff to trade so I am looking for a good pre-owned sale. Let me know if you have one you want to get rid of? Thanks!

Gaming / Multiplayer Madness (MMO or otherwise) / WoW - Bored at 60?
|
on: March 31, 2005, 06:41:52 PM

I hit 60 about two weeks ago and now I am bored as hell. What do you guys do at 60 to have fun?
I don't really like instances because you have to be there for at least 2 hours without doing anything else. It seems that is all anyone does at 60, the constant instance runs for better gear.
All I find myself doing is running around killing stuff for cash and the occasional good item. Why did I hit 60 dammit!?

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / PSP - When does Nintendo get scared?
|

Haven't you heard that they are planning anorher Game boy this year? They are scared. I've heard rumors, but isn't that just stupid? You just released the DS (which is blah, IMO) on the heels of the really successful SP, and now you want people to spend another $xxx to buy something else? WTF, Big N? I'll believe it when I see it, it just doesn't make sense.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / PSP - When does Nintendo get scared?

I won't be getting a PSP, but of course I follow the gaming world and it's many iterations.
For those in the know, when does Nintendo get scared about the PSP? It seems pretty obvious that it's going to be a smash hit and take market share away from the Gameboy.
Discuss.

Uh, when the hell was Mara Jade ever on screen, in anything? Or was she just fugly in a run of comics or something? A few years back, they hired a character to pose as Mara Jade for pics. I did some research and found some interesting things. http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/marajadeskywalker/?id=euThat is the starwars.com databank entry for Mara Jade (now Skywalker as she marries him in the books). Well in the top right is the actress who they originally hired. In the middle left appears to be an actress cast to play her in the RotK SE that I did not know about. I know her back story says she was at Jabba's Palace as the Emporer's Hand, but I didn't know that was supposed to be her in the movie. I actually haven't watched that dance number *shudders* in a while, is she even in the SE? EDIT: More research, nope, it was for a card game: One of the most remarkable incarnations of Mara was a live action photo taken for the Enhanced Jabba's Palace expansion set for the Star Wars Customizable Card Game. Decipher Inc. hired model Shannon Baksa to pose as Mara for a number of card images. Many subsequent products have since borne Baksa's likeness to represent Mara. I can't seem to find more pics of the original actress that was hired for a photo shoot with her....will keep looking. EDIT: And here it is: http://www.fanwars.it/img/wall/wall45.jpg

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Star Wars: Republic Commando. What a blast!

I just got this for PC and I'm really liking it too. I love me some Star Wars FPS and this is just what the doc ordered. Graphics are good, sound is excellent, and the game is fun. Good times.
So far my only gripe is that the rifle is weak. I am trying to shoot geonosians and it's either missing them, or they have mad armor!

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Watched Clone Wars vol1 - yup, HOLY CRAP!

I must have watched General Grievous in action a dozen times last night. If they show him delivering a massive beating to anyone in ROTS, then the crowd might go nuts with geek glee.  Also, I had to do a freeze frame on it but I caught the blink-and-you-miss-it shots during Anakin's beat-down of the Sith warrior. The entire lightsaber fight with him was frickin' awesome, but the temple battle was especially grand, not to mention filled to the brim with foreshadowing.  That was no man, baby. It's a female Sith! By "him" I meant Anakin, not the Sith female.  Oops! :oops:

El Gigante? The huge guy?
Keep shooting him until that thing sprouts out of his back, then either shoot that, or run up to him and use the action button command.
