Changes nothing really. Essentially all they did was what MGS did for 3+ games. Only their ending will come through DLC instead of being drawn out over the course of a huge number of games.

Also, don't judge just on the demo. It's overall package somehow seems to beat out its shortcomings in my opinion. But yeah as I still said a rental or buy for less than 30 would be ideal.

I just lost almost all the interest I might have had in the game. Listening to the Giant Bombcast from 04/03 they implicitly describe how shitty the ending is because Capcom (how surprising!) withheld the actual ending for the DLC. Fuck that noise.

We need to set a date to go through the Rage co-op levels. I always seems to be online when you're not.

Now?

Now?

360 or PS3? I could pick it up for $10 from Gamefly

EDIT: maybe not, just checked Gamefly and it's only available to rent.

Sorry Pad, I just realized I deleted the Rage install so now I have to reinstall it. I'm at about 50% now.

Not a bad run today. Only two more missions to finish all of the co-op.

 

[Twigg4075]

Yup. At least three trophies are nearly in our grasp. I'll be available around 12pm EST tomorrow for round two if you're down.

Hey Seth, did you listen to the Giant Bombcast from 04/03 by chance? :yu:

 

[SethMode]

Yeah...and like I said, they blew the situation out of proportion. The ending is fine. The gross DLC stuff for the game is their in between episode stuff (episode 11.5 and 15.5)f. GB's critiques in that part of the podcast are unwarranted because there IS an ending.

Again think of it like MGS. The end of 1 and 2 aren't even endings then because their real endings come up after the credits to set up a sequel. It's not a new concept. What were the odds an Asura's Wrath 2 would be made? So they set it up with an unlockable extra ending with a cliffhanger that instead of answering in a sequel they're answering in DLC.

That wasn't what I was refereeing to. More along the lines of the Xbox dash.

Oh they've never liked it. But what does that have to do with me? I never said I liked it or that it was good...just that it isn't hard for me to use or find what I'm looking for. It does suck at showcasing what is new but why would I care about that? I can't remember the last time I bought something XBL or PSN that I didn't go looking for. And I wouldn't exactly hold the GB guys up as some beacon of common sense. They regularly toss out some real head scratching opinions or statements...at times I find myself enjoying them more when they aren't talking about video games.

Head scratching moments? Do tell.

Well, after all the frustration of the game shitting itself a couple of times, we finally got through all the co-op levels and even got Twigg a first place win in Road Rage.

I don't think she gave it up for me until close to the end.

Once I beat ME2 (I am close) what DLC should I buy. I think Arrival is a must but do I need to buy anything else or is just because they are good?

Arrival is the worst of them. The only purpose it really serves is as a minor lead in to why ME3 starts with Shepard where he/she is.

Shadow Broker is the best, but Overlord is also very very good. They are both some of the best DLC ever IMO.

Jeez ME2 is long....I have to do the Geth Loyalty mission and then it is on. Ready to end this shit!
