Nintendo Gaming / Resident Evil 0 Help

« on: April 14, 2004, 04:37:01 PM »

Ok so I've beaten the game blah blah all that crap.  I got the extra stuff in the Leech Hunter (Magnum and Infi Ammo) and beat the game again, thinking I'd get the Rocket Launcher (I beat it in under 3 hours), but the STUPID THING WAS ON EASY!!!!   BIG TIME !!!
Here's my question:  Is there ANYWAY in the 9 5/8th layer of Hades that I could somehow keep what all I've done on the saved portion of my game, but up the difficulty level?  I've tried Continue and Restart, but to no avail.  I can't seem to change the level.  I don't want to have to beat the game AGAIN and the Leech Hunter twice AGAIN just to be able to get the Launcher.  Anyone have a glimmer of hope?

Nintendo Gaming / Component Cable Question

« on: January 27, 2004, 01:11:04 PM »

What's up all?  I'm looking for some encouragement.  I'm thinking about buying a component cable set from Nintendo now that I've got the TV for it.  Do you think, if you have the cables, it was worth the $30 to buy?  I knew S-Video cables were expensive and they make my DVDs look a lot better, but how much better than S-Video is Component?  Is it a lot more difference?  I currently use the stereo AV inputs, so I know i'll a difference either way I go, but I want the best quality I can get for my money.  Thanks for whatever input you give.

Nintendo Gaming / Eternal Darkness Character question (spoilers)

« on: May 07, 2003, 04:33:40 PM »

Yes there's spoilers even though everyone should have had the chance to play the damn game.






Ok, I was reading the official site, and on there it said you can play everything from a "Monk during the paranoia of the Inquisition to a Special Forces commando deep behind enemy lines."  

I was wondering, was the commando taken out and replaced by another character, like Mike Edwards?  Or was he taken out completely?  Just wondering if this is a typo that they forgot to correct.

General Gaming / Ranting about the days of old

« on: April 28, 2003, 11:24:41 PM »

Ok all you 18+ people this is for you.  I'm not trying to discriminate, it's just anyone under 18 is too young to probably understand what I mean by what I'm going to say.  Do any of you remember the days of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Doom II?  Back when FPS's where all about precision, skill, patience.  I remember how hard it was to actually hit someone in Doom in E1M1 in the Rocket Arena where the blue armor is.  Damn near impossible, and you earned bragging rights when it happened.  Now days, all the FPS's have this fancy shmancy jumping thing.  What's the deal?  Everyone bounces around like they're tripping on E while taking their Prozac, and they think they have skills.  A 2 year old can hop around and not get shot.  Now all you have to do is aim down and shoot him more than he shoots you.  Jump out of the way fast enough.  Screw that.  I liked relying only on my incredible ability to strafe left and aim in the anticipated spot, only to shoot and have my rocket slam right into the opponent's face in glorious defeat.  Now it's aim down, shoot shoot shoot, game over.  Too fast paced for me.  I always got into Doom more than I ever did the Quake series, and it's all because Doom was much slower paced.  It actually made you think about each and every shot.  Hell shooting twice around your opponent was the way to win most of the time.  Now, I aim at the wall above you so when you bounce like the Prozac bunny you are, you'll get a rocket in the face, and that's only if I'm lucky.   Luck shouldn't have anything to do with it.  It's all about planning, timing, and know-how.  I've spoken my piece, now it's time to see who agrees/disagrees with me.

Nintendo Gaming / Getting an SP, need some help though

« on: April 23, 2003, 05:05:22 PM »

This will be my first purchase of a GameBoy since the era of the original.  Yes long time.  I have a problem keeping up with my GameCube games, let alone any other system.  I want to be able to play Zelda and Splinter Cell especially with the extra features, and was wondering if it was worth it, and what all I'd need besides an SP and the GC/GBA cable.  Can I keep my SP plugged into the wall via the AC adapter and play that way?

Nintendo Gaming / Why the poor FPS support on the Cube?

« on: April 16, 2003, 02:04:08 PM »

I went to buy Splinter Cell and Red Faction 2 this afternoon, and could only get SC because the guy at the counter said that FPSs on the Cube sell so badly that they refuse to carry more than 5 of each title in stock at a time.  That's whack.  I've been waiting to get RF2 since it came out, and this is just annoying.  I still love my Cube, don't get me wrong, but why is it FPSs never do so well?  I thought that Time Splitters 2 was an incredible game, and thought it sold well.  I must've been wrong.  Anyone got any explanation, speculation on this?

Nintendo Gaming / BAD A$$ MO FO (SPOILERS WITHIN)

« on: April 02, 2003, 05:03:42 PM »

Read only if you've beaten the game please

SPOILERS









Ganondorf is exremely f@*&in cool in Wind Waker.  It was like watching some Japanamation  cartoon or something, but dude, dual swords, that get-up, just all around bad ass man.  I think that Nintendo finally perfected his look and style, cuz he rocks in WW.  Anyone agree/disagree?  any other characters you liked?

General Gaming / Anyone have C&C Generals??

« on: April 02, 2003, 01:19:43 PM »

I was checkin the game out, and it's weird that a C&C game actualyl has a unit limit.  But that's good because when you've got 55 tanks it's hard for anyone to not be beat.  I was just wondering about it because the system reqs are a little steep, well for a broke ass like me, so I was wondering if it was worth a buy/upgrade.

Nintendo Gaming / Red Faction II question

« on: April 02, 2003, 01:02:21 PM »

What's goin on ya'll?  I haven't bought a new FPS for anything since Time Splitters 2 (very highly recommended) and Red Faction 2 sparks my interest.  Anyone played it on the PC?  Or on another system?  I want some good feedback on whether or not it's worth the buy, cuz I beat WW already.

Nintendo Gaming / Zelda Preorder Question

« on: March 03, 2003, 03:12:04 PM »

Hey I know this probably ain't the place to ask this, but just let it be answered and then delete it please Admis.  Bless me with this.  

I went and pre-ordered Wind Walker yesterday and I didn't get my Bonus Disk.  I ordered it from Babbage's, and I asked em if they had any more, and they said they might, but I would probably get it the day WW comes out.  I thought the whole purpose of the pre-order was to have the nostalgia while I wait for the new one to come out.  Kinda defeats the whole purpose.  Any comments on why they did this?  Anyone else have the same thing happen?

Nintendo Gaming / Resident Evil 0 Help (SPOIERS INSIDE)

« on: February 21, 2003, 02:03:28 PM »

What's goin on people?  I played through this game, mostly without a guide, and got to the
************SPOILERS*****************






Leech Hunter mini-game.  Now the guide says to first, search the entire facility and its basements, kill all the monsters, drop off all your items, then pick up the leech charms.  What they failed to tell me was that some rooms become re-inhabited with monsters once you get close to the 100 leech mark.  Also, I don't know if it's a glitch due to the radomization of leech locations, monsters, as well as what key you'll need to find, but one room that contained the final 4 leeches that I needed was locked, and I had no way of opening the door.  Anyone know what happened?  I'm happy that I got the Barry Magnum, I just wanted the Unlimited Ammo.    And the mini-game takes a full 2-2 1/2 hours to beat, if you're running.
