I think the spike/block room in God of War is one of the worst designed chucks of gameplay in the history of gaming. David Jaffe needs to be stabbed in the eye with a rusty nail over that shit. In-fucking-real.

I spent over an hour and 100 tries and still couldn't beat it. If it wasn't one thing it was another. Kratos wouldn't grab the block. Kratos jumps when I want him to kick. Somehow he can't jump on the block. The way the camera angle changes at the WORST FUCKING POSSIBLE TIME! I didn't kick the block far enough. I kicked it too far. It's a perfect storm of bullshit. One tiny mistake and you're FUCKED.

And then when you think you do everything perfectly (at least 25 times) Kratos doesn't grab the ledge you're jumping for.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm putting in work on inFamous since I purchased it last week.

So far so good as I'm doing my 'Good Cole' run.

It's hard to progress far enough to take back Neon without a pedestrian or five getting in the way of my electric grenades; just zapping Reapers with your default attack won't work on Hard.

I played the demo and I wasn't too impressed. I got to this part where I was fighting some dude on top of a train and he kept teleporting and kicking my ass so I just stopped playing.

The Conduit guys?

Once the game gave me Shock Grenades, I just lobbed 3-4 at them and strafed/jumped away if they decided to do that shock blast thing they do.

MFers wearing white coats thinking they Terry Bogard or some shit. :smh:

I'm gonna get one more game in on BF before hitting the sack. Hopefully get to an even K/D ratio.

Last night I looked into modding my Wii into playing backed up games, and I found much more.

What was very interesting about the methods needed, was the fact that it was completely softmodded(No hardware was touched. Not even a screwdriver was needed.). After looking into it, I found a great tutorial on how to do it, and where to go after it was modded.
I REALLY wanted to try it out last night, but I had no Blank DVD+R's (I had some dual layers, but those are for my 360 games), so I thought I was assed out. Until I found out that you can throw the games on a custom-formatted flashdrive, and play games.

What I needed to do it:
2 GB SD Card(In actuality, you just need 1 GB. I bought the 2gb for other purposes, and now i need to buy another)
8 GB Flash Drive (This is basically my "CD Collection" now.

I tried it with Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and it worked. The ability to play backed up games on the Wii is mindnumbingly easy, almost to the level of that of the Dreamcast.

Do you happen to have a link?

Do you happen to have a link?

Will PM. However, it should be noted that I did Softmod, which, in the long run, will require more work to be done than a Hardmod(see Virix on this and maybe he'll help), as Nintendo will more than likely constantly and consistently try to have new Disc Protection software.

Time to play some god of war collection. I need to beat these 2 really quick before i buy 3

So, I woke up today, went upstairs to find my little nephew playing some NBA 2k5, and i came to start thinking about how 2k took over EA in the basketball industry. I really feel like it all started with 2k5, in fact, when they were selling almost all of their sports titles for 20$. From there, they started to make great strides with their games, including the shot stick, and signature shots, to now signature packages.

Another thing that baffles me is some cool features that 2k dropped, the biggest of which being 24/7 mode. I think this is one of the first "my player" modes that was done really well, having drills, challenges, 2-on-2 games, and other things about it. The best part about it, imo, was the fact that it was really 24/7, with challenges being time-based. The last thing that really surprises me that they dropped was the Full Authority Association mode, where you basically simmed a game by turning it into an almost trading-card type game. Long games would take about 5-10 minutes to complete, with you selecting shot selection, who to defend, and special features.

Probably a long read, but i think ESPN NBA 2k5 was just about as "revolutionary" as ESPN NFL 2k5, but 2k never fully backed it with later iterations of the game.

I LOVED 24/7 mode. I think 24/7 was carried over into 2K6. But didn't evolve much, if at all. It may have even been in 2K7.

Just posted my Wii for sale on Craigslist. I hope somebody is looking for a Wii in my area.

NBA 2k5 was probably one of if not the best 2k basketball games ever made. I loved the Association mode and that simming option you had was :bow:.

24/7 mode was sick. I wish they continued it but they stopped

Is that site reputable? I've never heard of them. And what's up with $10 for shipping?!?

Because Wii's are for girls and 360's break before they come out of the box:

Yeah, Sony jumped on the bandwagon of motion control (everyone forgot the EyeToy existed) but KB is gonna make things better... promise.
