Pre-ordered.

Sairus · 02-08-2010 09:33PM

Brooklyn Raaaaaage :pac:

*edit*

Aaaaaand it's SOLD OUT, that's all folks, we win.

Sairus · 03-08-2010 10:29AM

Man, those are some angry Americans. I approve =D

I love the comments like "God damn Europe! they always get special editions that us in the States done get. It's not fair!"
They seem to overlook how long it takes us to get half these games and the inflated prices we get them at =/

As another commentator said, it took us 14 years to get Chrono Trigger =D

On PS3? If so, probably American's snapping up the region free copies.

Looked like they still had a few on Xbox, so I actually ordered one.

I'm going to see if I can get into this game.

Xinkai · 03-08-2010 02:04PM

Mine arrived just now

I am happy camper

UberPrinny_Baal · 03-08-2010 02:21PM

Really?

I thought this stuff wasn't meant to land till October?

LIFETRAP · 03-08-2010 02:23PM

He's talking about the regular imported US version, I'd say.

Xinkai · 03-08-2010 02:24PM

Yeah if you read back a couple of pages i said i imported it for PS3 from AxelMusic.com

K.O.Kiki · 03-08-2010 03:49PM

>I am happy camper

Still waiting on mine, guess it should be here Friday.

LIFETRAP · 03-08-2010 04:39PM

Still waiting on mine too. Who are people playing as? Hazama, Bang and Tager for me.

Voa · 03-08-2010 04:56PM

Xinkai · 03-08-2010 06:03PM

Tsubaki, Mu & Lambda.

Looking at Makoto though on stream she looks bitchin'

K.O.Kiki · 04-08-2010 06:01PM

My copy of BBCS just arrived

UberPrinny_Baal · 04-08-2010 09:52PM

Eagerly awaiting my fan copy of CS.

I've been reading up on Blazblue, and apparently it has a decent plot, which is amazing enough for a fighting game.

Also apparently the plot in CS will be a continuation of the plot from CT, which I've never played.

As self confessed plot whore, I am very interested in this.

I was wondering if anyone who has CS already, or is just not playing a whole lot of CT these days would be willing to let me borrow/swap something to have a 360 copy of it for long enough to beat all the 1 player plot stuff in preparation of my copy of CS landing in October.

Voa · 04-08-2010 10:41PM

This just in; I hate you who have a decent postal service.

And the ability to play it before Sunday night. Stupid work.*

TIME FOR BED AGAIN YAY I'M HOME 2 MINUTES.

From going through all of CT's plots, I'd say the story is more interesting than good. The universe is also extremely deep - they'll have plotlines to use for years to come.
The best thing about it is that while each character's story is quite weak, as you play each one little bits of the story slot into place until you get a mostly complete picture. It's pretty fun assumbling the entire story from criptic nods spaced throughout all the campaigns.
However to counter that, getting 100% in all the storylines is annoying as ****. You'll probably want to read a guide on how to get all possible endings for each character.

That sounds exactly like the kind of thing I love.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube did something similar. For a large part of the game it actually appeared to have no plot at all, but once you had pieced it all together you were like "Whoh, I understand what happened before and what's going on now".

It was sweet.

Anyone able to spot me a copy of Calamity Trigger on 360 to get my plotwhore on?

UberPrinny_Baal · 06-08-2010 09:49AM

Actually guys, I didn't realise there was a PSP port of calamity trigger which is out soon and pretty reasonably priced

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;0;-1;-1;-1&sku=781435

I'll get my plot on with this

I imported that when it came out in the states - it's a great PSP game for the sheer amount of stuff in it. It also has a massively handy feature in that you can purchase story maps for each character which tell you what choices to make to get all the endings without resorting to guides.
Apperantly some of the combos link differently on the PSP though.

I think that would only matter if I was going from CT PSP to CT console.

Since I'm going to go from CT PSP to CS console, I doubt it will make a difference.

Also I imagine I'll find a fightstick FAR easier than the PSP buttons/dpad.

Sairus · 06-08-2010 11:19AM

Ar, this is true. Sure off ya go then!

Voa · 06-08-2010 11:27PM
