I kept getting pissed because in ASE Football and Bounty Hunter, it seems that half the people have no idea what the different game modes are, or why there's a target with a distance marker on one single opponent

Haha, I was in there with you in some of those matches. Yeah, it would be nice if people knew the modes.

Yeah, some times I assume my mode is the one picked and don't pay attention when an odd mode is picked. It could take me a little bit to catch on.

I got a couple lock ups as well. Pretty annoying to have to start the game again :/

Though I had an amesome killer game in the team mode. I got stuck being the only person on my team because the other player left. It was 3v1 and I wiped the floor with them. Like a 20 point lead. It was amazing. I just kept second guessing their moves and out gunning them. Priceless

Another time I was playing a last man standing and it was down to me and one other guy with one life and he had one more kill than me. The timer had less than a minute to go and I wasn't about to let him win by default so I charged him at the 3 second countdown and as the voice said '1' I got him. I was ecstatic. This game makes me happy

just give up for now kraken. maybe the servers are not working 100% and it'll be up again tomorrow. I hope.

Best Buy $10 rewards zone coupon I got. I'm selling Moon (DS) and Space Invaders Extreme (DS). Moon is just boring now. I'm halfway in the game and I just don't care anymore. Space Invaders was fun but to hard for me. I got into a hard level and I have been stuck for months. Zelda Twilight Princess is being sold too, that is just collecting dust. So I should have more than enough to buy Wiispeak. I'll put the rest toward Wiisports resort at gamestop.I already got that reserved and $10 paid.

I'm not sure if it was just my local BB, but they had a clearance on lots of items and AC was one of them.
AC w/ WS was only $25, so make sure you look for a clearance table when you go to spend your Rewards Zone $$$.

Wow, BnM, I'm going to have to check that out, even if just to snag a Wii Speak.

I picked up the game, and have sent friend requests to everyone I have on my Wii Friends list. Haven't messed with friend code crap yeah, I said it! yet, though sounds like I may have to so I can play some of you guys.

Finished the single player campaign (though not 100% complete - those messages are hard to find!), and I have to say, I don't mind the length. The experience is fun, the graphics are really good, there's obviously a passionate team of developers behind this game. I like the little "danger high voltage" signs you see every once in awhile. What really strikes me, though, is the polish. The game's presentation is awesome. Framerate is constant, achievements are fun, the story is decent, the ASE is nice (though it's clear they drew a lot of inspiration from Metroid Prime – NOT a bad place to draw from, btw!), and all the options for finetuning controls are welcome. I think I've come up with a scheme that works very well for me, and I may not have been able to do that had there not been so much customization available.*

So, yeah! I think with this purchase, I've edged a little closer back towards "h4rdk0r3 64m3r," which relieves me a bit. I was concerned when I realized that Wii Sports Resort was my most anticipated release this summer! lol0rz

* People are actually complaining about the level of customization? (Gamespot & 1up reviewers) Wow... Isn't this the sort of thing that people have always asked for? Mappable controller layouts, sensitivity adjustments, etc. Now, maybe the descriptions for these adjustments delve a little too far into jargon (bounding box, for example) that only the hardcore will know about, but... give me a break, a company that gives you options isn't doing it because they don't know how to make a good control scheme... they're doing it because they've listened to fans for so long, who've asked for just that. Just, shut up, guys. You lose credibility when you spout off crap like that, and it taints your entire review.

Edit: MAV, did you get the $25 deal??

I just knew that would happen, listening to the fans is usually a formula for disaster (well unless you actually appreciate what they did like many of us here). Never has there been a big release title that I can remember that had a team so responsive to the fans.

I would go see at Best Buy but the closest one is almost an hour away.... Not worth it to save $10 over Newegg...

I will be ordering the it the 1st when I get paid! So I should get it by Friday or Saturday!

EDIT: Ordered it today should be here Wednesday!

I have a fun idea, one of the things that is great with a game is if you can create your own scenarios inside whats available. With Wii-Speak, we could something along the lines spirit tag. Everyone allows the one person to hunt to run off for x amount of time to set up without the wiispeak of course, then everyone else has some type of chilling sound playing through wiispeak or whatnot, basically an audio warning for the singled out player, and so on. this is just the beginning, and I have made a bunch of great scenarios for other games (goldeneye in particular) and I'm sure we could come up with some fun and inventive ways to play!

Yeah, i cant wait.. I will have my hands on the game on late 3rd of july, and once I wrap around all the options, I think i can come up with some great inspirational modes to play!!!!

of course, thats on friday. hopefully people will still be playing.. heh

The Gamecrazy manager at the other Hollywood Video I used to work at is creaming all over this game. Honestly, The Grinder looks more interesting.

That's like saying Mario jumps.

Conduit is a kind of software people have wanted, now they got it and they're simply enjoying it.

I just played a couple games against Maxi. I had fun and I'm not much of a FPS person, but I went 2 for 2 against Maxi, but I'm gonna chalk it up to beginners luck. 2nd match was close as I broke the tie within the last minute and we almost killed each other at the same time just as the timer ran out. It was intense in the last 60 seconds (especially for being 1 on 1)

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1813 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:14:52 PM »

I'm not a FPS player at all. I don't think I have won one match vs you guys when it comes to Free for all.

Anytime you wan't to play BlackNMild let me know.

kraken613 · « **Reply #1814 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:28:40 PM »

I have won most of them.... Sorry for beating all of you.... lol I can't wait to be able to laugh at you guys once I get my Wii Speak!!!!! Should be here Wednesday!!!

Stratos · « **Reply #1815 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:29:52 PM »

You guys still playing?

I don't think I've gotten to play against BnM yet.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1816 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:36:19 PM »

I haven't gotten past the first locker room in the beginning of the game.

Stratos · « **Reply #1817 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:37:38 PM »

Well, stop playing the single player and come join us online. The more the merrier I say.

EasyCure · « **Reply #1818 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:53:15 PM »

I got my ass handed to me by Kraken the first time i took the game online (also the first time i loaded up the game, didn't know what controls were what just figured it out as i went along) but my second time online went much better.

By then i'd put in some time with the single player missions and got a feel for the controls, so when i hopped online and did a free for all deathmatch, i climbed up the ranks and went from the right side of the score bored to the left, woot! lol It's 16 players total right? Guess i ended up in the 7th spot after climbing my way up. It was very fun cuz i felt myself getting better at the game as i went through that 20min match. Still, some guys had insande number of kills.. The top player ("Chaos") had like 34 by the end of the game and i only had 20 something. I'd see his score shoot up so fast as i'm waiting to respawn and all i thought was "how is he getting this many kills so fast?"

Stratos · « **Reply #1819 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:54:55 PM »

Are you going on tonight?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #1820 on:** June 29, 2009, 09:25:05 PM »

Stratos, when I logged on I tried to join you, but you were busy in a match.

Me & Maxi played 2 games & then I logged off, and you were still busy.

I might jump in again tomorrow, if Im at home, but I couldn't say at what time.

EasyCure · « **Reply #1821 on:** June 29, 2009, 09:27:08 PM »

I'm on right now BUT..

you're all gonna have to re-add my friend code. I deleted my game save by accident and the friend code went out with the bath water, so to speak.

I've re-added/requested everyone i could. Here's my new code:

3051-5467-5730

Thanks maxi.

So I just played a 20min free for all. Came in 4th at 22 kils/14 deaths.the guy in fifth had 22kills/17 deaths so I just edgedhim out I guess.

The guy inthe lead had like 34kills damn! I don't know how they do it.. I avg about a kill a minute lol it was fun though, vented a little and let out myfrustration bypunching mother fuckers do death. Seriously half mykills were melee attacks.

Good times
