Completely random topic: How many people here know that it's Spirit Day today?
Gaddafi's spirit shall not be going to heaven.
Is it something to do with Scorpio/Libra?
Nope, it's to do with supporting LGBT youth. I plan to draw a picture relating to it, though I doubt I'll be finished on time

People complain that other people cheat when they lose. Me, if I notice somebody using the same move constantly, I will be pissed off when I lose, if I see somebody jump in and do an awesome combo, I will applaud them (literally as well, even though they won't hear it). Something tells me that if I switch to Pro on SSFIV3D then I will get better players, rather than the ones who play Guile and then spam Flash Kick L and Sonic Boom L via touch screen controls. Although spamming them back is rather satisfying, if only to see them ragequit, sometimes even mid-game. So, were you spamming the exact same move (or couple of moves), or did you combo (that was the main reason I quoted, I just tangented)? I remember playing Blade of Fate, I was pretty good with Byakuya actually.
I don't believe in button smashing, I do super-awesome megacombos 8D

My favourite character to play as online is Soi Fon. Homonka the enemy twice and they die 8D
Yoruichi's also good to play, because of Blue Ability D

Generally on Dark Souls I play Izuru because you can get really, really long combos as his shunpo distance is really small. Plus he's pretty okay at countering. Either that or I play Hisagi for the same reason. Toshiro and Zaraki were also old favorites.

Yes, I bought that game. That was when I wasn't fed up with how ridiculously long they made Bleach.

I can imagine that Shuhei's a good character to use - do you ever get to use his Shikai? 8D

If you have a PS3 without PSN, you are basically using half of the console.

The same goes for most games.

You have MW2?

No online?

You're playing half of it.

What are you gonna do, play the campaign and spec ops 321578976 times?

SotG, Play-Asia can be trusted (lawl, I know it was a couple of pages ago). I've bought from them before and the quality was excellent. (:

Wow, I completely mis-understood what Madman said until I read the word 'Bleach' (but only because the game I have been playing recently is called Dark Souls). I still need to work my way through Third Phantom (I think I lost it at some point too...)

Or, a wild random thought, play with a friend locally (or in my case, I play with my dad when I am round his). As a generalisation, online orientated games also have a splitscreen option. Besides, perhaps the people who don't use online aren't into generic FPSs, perhaps they are more into fighters, or RPGs, or RTSs, or Turn Based Strategy, or Hack 'n' Slash, or any one of the myriad of other genres.

I was giving an example.

Also, what happens when nobody is with you and you can't call anyone? You can play online.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #21930 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:04:24 PM »

Or you can play through a story-filled game like 9H9P9D, which just mindraped me. Again. ^w^

But how much replay value does it have?

Want a good storyline, replay value and a bunch of fun to boot? Spyro 3, PsOne. =D

And I don't wanna hear "well X (X = a game pre Dreamcast) was an amazing game, and it didn't have multiplayer."

Well, that's pretty obvious.

If the Wii didn't have Nintendo Wifi, it would have sold less than it did.

Online is just an excuse to make games seem to have more content. It's the "easy way out" as such.

Truckloads, as does TWEWY 8D

btw, P.R.O.M.I.S.E. may have multiplayer, it might not (if I can get the engine, it probably will). However, the Story Mode is intended to be 60+ hours, and The Enigma Phenomenon 30+ hours for the more expert gamers (It's gonna be HARD, so it may even hit 60+ hours again). If that's not your cup of tea, there's always Tournament Mode, DeathMatch, Arcade Mode, Practice and the Gag Reels if you're into the impromptu comedy side of things. Then there's the unique Support battle system to figure out the best combinations with, all the characters to obtain, side quests and four difficulty levels. Not to mention you have a whole UNIVERSE to explore (though that may be harder than it seems... I may just include the explored bits, as in the parts where you go near for story purposes)

Now, what were you saying about non-online being only half the game?

Natef · « **Reply #21937 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:17:03 PM »

You are only experiencing half of the game if you don't have online.

Half is online, half is offline.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #21938 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:17:58 PM »

Not the case. You need to go and take a stroll in the glorious world of plot, dear sir

You can't walk up to a 90-120+ game and go "You're only half a game" because it doesn't have the option of thrashing some deserving nublet that happens to stroll within your Catchment.
