The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

So I bid on this a while ago and could only afford to pay for it today. Not totally sure why I ordered the Japanese version... I think I had some drink on me at the time.

Anyway my Shenmue 1 disc hasn't worked in aaaaaaaaaaaages so I think I was looking for replacements online. Very nice that it comes with the soundtrack too.

Very nice, is the text in it in English?

CosmicSmash

As far as I know if you want to have the english text and dialogue you have to invest a little more and buy US Shenmue.

Time to derail the thread?

CiDeRmAn

Nope, a certain Red Dwarf meme has lost a lustre it once had.
It may be sometime before musings on the nature of white holes becomes a source of much amusement.
Perhaps the Beers tomorrow night will reinvigorate us!

CiDeRmAn

Just picked up in GS Elite Beat Agents and a curiosity called Prey the Stars: Gabu Gabu Planet, for the DS and all for a tenner.
Going now to collect another DC rumble pack and a DC controller extension cable for another tenner!

Just bought a CDi game I was looking for for a while. I'll not say what it is to annoy people and bring back some memes :P

It's Zennith

Had some money left over on the O2 card so bought this absolute classic from PSN:

I was about to buy Spelunky for my son, who has just finished the demo, but it's 1200 points!!!
Is it worth that sort of pointage?
Seems a tad steep tbh.

It's a huge game, randomly generated levels, it can last forever. I'm still playing the free PC version and supposedly the 360 one is even better.

CiDeRmAn

Sorry Retr0, regarding uncovering your massive.... GET!
My quoting seems to have uncovered your secret and the surprise, and I don't think I'm over stating the way we all feel, purchase for the CDi was spoiled somewhat.
So,
Sorry Retr0.
I feel like reporting myself to the mods as, well, how often are you going to get to do a GET when it comes to a machine so bereft of anything worthwhile to GET?

So, apologies again, I shall not sleep for some seconds this evening over this...

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

This is what I got today

Dale Parish

Yay.

My first N64. Now I have to go and sample this supposed terrible quality thee keep talking about.

Retr0gamer

Well terrible video quality through the composite cable. A lot of the N64's library has aged really badly, particularly Rare's games but you have two ageless classics with Lylat Wars and Mario 64.

You'e only problem is you bought a PAL machine. If you are considering collecting N64 games in anything other than a casual manner you really need to collect NTSC. Better library, no slowdown and cheaper games that offset the cost of shipping the console.

It gets worse... it's RF :pac::pac:
Fair enough, I'll have a look at getting a NTSC one... (no doubt I'll be converted to NTSC then and forced to replace all my consoles :pac: )

You know, I think you've said something like that before Retr0

Retr0gamer

If you are going to go the PAL route then a must to get is the modified PAL s-video cables from Consolegoods.co.uk. A normal S-video cable won't work and this is the only place to get the modified ones. It will give near RGB levels of video quality.

Of course with NTSC you get s-video out of the box and can modify most models to RGB.

I'm only recommending NTSC because most of my collection is PAL and it's a big regret of mine that I never went for NTSC until recently because I feel I have to replace my PAL collection since NTSC offers such big advantages especially considering the low framerates of most N64 games.

YAY my copy of demon's souls arrived today and in way better nick than it was described

Also my friend knew I "was into those ****ty castlevania games" so handed me his copy of SON when I was down in his house :eek:
Missing the manual, he said that its probably in another case somewhere but the game and inners are perfect. Plastic case needs replacing though.

He got everything he deserves by giving that game away for what he said about Vania!

Casey120

I have the great looking Pal 2 disc SOTN version but when I played it on my PS2 it had huge stinking borders .
Is there any way to play it full screen or am I screwed because of Pal ?

I think I have the Japan version also somewhere but that didn't work on my PS3 , should probably work on my modded PS2 but I have to dig out that one sometime to check .

Oh i said it to him that he could sell it for a fair bit but he said he knew i would appreciate it and if I did sell it to give him some of the profits He also said it was nearly binned too many times to count.
I didn't have the heart to just take it from him without letting him know it was rare. If it was a stranger though

Wonder if he will find the manual, as I was thinking of using it as a bartering tool against some Cube games I'm needing and not having it complete is driving me nuts anyway :rolleyes:

Well, I find myself an owner of a ps3 again.
And exchange with Alphaeagle for my under appreciated but rare as EnterNow at a Beers Samsung Nuon.
So, spent the morning wrestling with cables and getting it to integrate with you network.
Now to wait a fortnight while it downloads everything that was attached to my account!
Also giving PSN plus a shot, another three months while it downloads the games there, 6gb for MotorStorm Apocalypse!

OwaynOTT

Here's my few bits from the last week or so.
Got from adverts, still can get decent stuff from there, gumtree and the eBay. Looking forward to playing both games, pity one was only rated 6/10.

Pink, green and grey. Stupidly going for a full set of boxed ones.

I've a couple of boxed ones (blue and Famicom), and unboxed grey, black/grey and pink. I buy them without even thinking. Micros are just amazing!

Download Journey and revise that statement.

You forgot Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls as well.

If one has a PS3 in their home, there's no convincing reason not to have played Journey (unless one is truly broke). It's the kind of game that reaffirms one's love for an entire medium.

Are they not Ps2 games, doesn't say much for the ps3

CiDeRmAn

Ico looks nice but SotC looks stunning in HD.
I have downloaded Journey but have yet to play it.
There isn't a lot I want for the system tbh. Maybe GT5 for old times sake.
Perhaps this Dust /Eve Online thingy will be good.
The Last Guardian is vapourware at this stage, isn't it or is it to be released after all?

CiDeRmAn

Oh, Gigawing for the DC was awaiting me this morning and, upon opening the intact game case, I find a dodgy copy of Gigawing 2! Thanks Spanish Ebayer, wherever you are!
Also got my Arcade mag cover disk of the soundtrack to Wip3out, which is mighty nice.

johnny_ultimate

Make efforts to play Journey with as few distractions as possible, and make sure you're online. You only get to experience Journey once: it's two hours long and playable in one session, so make sure you make the most out of it.

Even Retr0gamer believes the hype, so you know its good!
