      I pretty much 100%ed Bastion, if they kept track of it. Max level, fully upgraded all the weapons, unlocked all the vigils, got all the achievements.

      Wish I could exchange it for From Dust lol

        Only negative for me. Great story, great game, great graphics...but you can 100% it in 2 playthroughs and considering the idol difficulty shit doesn't really make a difference (you can do the challenges with it but there is no time thing so it's basically just a bunch of people who have done the same thing at numbers 1-whatever), I just don't have much of a reason to go back until it's like 2 years from now and I want to go down the nostalgia path.

          Yeah the idols didn't really do very much on the 2nd play through which was disappointing. Once the army carbine, pike, and mortar were upgraded....game over man, game over.

            Not even the same thing...at all.

            The next time Ryu Hyabusa, or whatever the fuck is name is, plays in a league in a sport that IN REAL FUCKING LIFE has a season EVERY YEAR, please fucking let me know.

            And last I checked, the most recent MvC and SF "updates" came out well earlier than even a year after the initial release.

            Also, I have no fucking clue what this has to do with Jay buying a weird ass Japanese game?:rolleyes1:

              1. it is the same thing. What the fuck does real life "updates" have to do with anything? Do you only ever play one year of the franchise? Because anything after that is all the same make believe bullshit.

              2. It has nothing to do with Jay buying a weird ass game and everything to do with you buying 99% of games out there and thus being a hypocrite because you need to toot your damn horn over fighting games.

              Another example: go buy another HD remake of a game that you could get for much cheaper but you're willing to pay $40 for because it's and HD remake with trophies.

              And Twigg, seriously, I do think that you're a good guy, but lately you just come across as a bit of a self-imposed know-it-all douche about a subject that is totally subjective.

                  His name is Ryu. Ryu Hayabusa is the main character of the Ninja Gaiden series.

                    the one thing about the fighting game culture is that when a company makes a new iteration of the game you are kind of FORCED to buy it to stay relative or competitive. I mean essentially you are playing the same game but buying it twice because you have to. IMO it is pretty bad to come out with a more complete game 9 mos after release and drop the price $20. All Capcom had to do to make the fans happy is release a downloadable update for people who have the game for $20. Done......but I guess business wise they will make more money going the DVD way.

                    I would think eventually the community would fight back. How many versions of SF and MvC will there be and how much will you end up paying in the end? Probably way too much.

                      How the fuck did you remember that last name Twigg?I've played Ninja Gaiden and wouldn't have been even able to tell you his first name.

                          i got the impression from the demo that Catherine was more like a Portal type game. It seems to be all about the puzzles

                              This is definitely true. My overarching point though is that Twigg seems to think this will negatively affect all gamers, when it's such a small niche group (which is probably why they do so many re-releases...because they know with that group they'll make their money back). Twigg is acting like fighting games being purchased are fucking over the entire industry which is just lunacy. I just don't understand why he cares so much, or why he's cool with playing NCAA 2012 but will call out Misogi for buying UMvC3 when at the end of the day who gives a shit if Misogi wants to buy it again?

                                I thought Twigg was an old ass guy with a moutache. turns out he sounds like he's 28.
