The Ultras are really easy on a keyboard. Because you can bind a key to press all three of the punch or kick buttons at once in the options menu.

pfffft, cheating


i think my sf4 experience would be much better if i caved in and bought a fighting stick

wait...dude this bound button you speak of is incorporated in the ps3 and x360 versions as well.  the only difference is you dont need to set it in options as it comes default like that.


vellfire if you bought a fighting stick you'd not only enjoy sf4 but many other fighters that can be emulated.



at the moment im trying out first person tetris>>

no idea why its called first person tetris, but just wait til you rotate a piece...
for some reason I find it easier than regular tetris.

Are the fighting sticks typically wired or wireless?  If they're wireless, is there some sort of dongle you can get to use them with PCs (I seem to remember seeing these while reading about the regular 360 controllers)?  I hadn't even considered using it with the PC even though now that I think about it I don't see why not.  It would rock to use one for MAME and stuff too.

I bought a Saturn joystick a long time ago with the intention of buying a USB adapter for it but nobody actually SELLS them anymore, even though they exist.  The idea of having a fighting stick for my PC definitely still appeals to me though.

depends on what kind you get.

I think this is the one I was looking into getting in the first place.

Oh and I've also been playing a lot of Minecraft, one fucking sweet game.

Indeed it is, addictive too :S Just spent a good while playing on the Survival mode, stupid monsters appeared from nowhere and killed me, not fun when it took me ages to start the building of a fort like thing >.>

I found plenty of challenge in the fights myself.  Also yeah the cutscenes are really dependent on the player.  The cutscenes and dialogue are terrible but in a way that they were MEANT to be.  I laughed during just about every cutscene, they were so horribly over the top that they struck me as very funny, and this was the idea.  But, either that appeals to your or it doesn't.  I don't think this makes it AWFUL though.

Most of the techniques and accessories you are supposed to be buying more towards the end.  You get a lot more halos at the end of the game than you do early on.  Also, you get a lot more (at least I think so) playing the easier modes than the harder ones, so if you were that desperate then you could just play some levels on easy.  The game doesn't end when you beat it, you're supposed to go back and play it again on a harder mode and also find hidden things you missed the first time.  This is why most of the things in the store are so expensive, you aren't SUPPOSED to get them for a while.

I think it's really more of a case of this game not being for you than it being a bad game.

Yeah, I've rented Bayonetta over the last week-end and had a lot of fun with it. Everything is so over the top but in a very conscious way. I (ironically) didn't really care about gameplay, has I was more interested on the whole Bayonetta and sexuality talk that was going around. It is kinda weird but I will have to agree, to some degree, with Leigh Alexander on this one.

I read that article a week or so ago and I thought it was really accurate.

i didnt even realise people thought female gamers would be offended by bayonetta

like, are female anime fans offended by sailor moon?? theyre so kawaii ^^;

I have to admit I had an initial thought of "man should I be offended by this?" but I only had it for about two seconds before I decided "fuck NO bayonetta rocks she is a cool character(tm)"

anyone else preorder bioshock 2? i got it for £20 off steam (me and some friends put some money into the four-pack version on steam) and we also get a free copy of the original. £20 for bioshock and bioshock 2 you cant say no unless you're dumb or a hobo
