Marvelfangirl Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just re-bought a Super Nintendo....... Earthbound You know that Earthbound is one of the most popular game to buy on eBay? It's crazy! Video Games Trending nothing new! They've been steadily trending up for a long time. They are a good 200+ loose now and 700-1000 for a copy that's complete with the box, guide, all inserts. I'd say 4k or more if you find an unopened one. Nintendo really needs to re-release Earthbound. I'm not going to pay $200 or $700-1000 for a old game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I just found out that the makers of Metal Gear Rising are the same people that made Bayonetta. Platinum Games is evil and torture gamers with very difficult games Yep. But they make the best action games ever. Check out Vanquish too, it's an amazing TPS. One of the hardest plats on the PS3. Oh don't get me wrong They do make great action games,it's just they're hard as hell I just beat Metal Gear Rising on normal. The last boss nearly gave me a stroke, but it was so satisfying to win. Great frickin game. whoa, already!?! I haven't even had time to go out and buy it! I heard the first little bit is extremely difficult? Trying? I can't remember... but I heard I've heard some mixed things. There's definitely a learning curve, but the game is pretty difficult all the way through, even after you figure out what you're supposed to do. The final boss fight took me 2 hours of retries to finally finish, and there's a boss fight in the middle of the game that's rough too. But it's the fun kind of difficult; it feels good to learn and overcome. My advice would be, if you're playing on normal or higher, learn how to parry and block right away, because you'll be forced to learn it later. You can't button-mash.

Seriously if that's how you feel about it why not just play it on emulator. Or get a powerpak, I recommend those things every chance I get. You can load as many snes games as you want onto one cartridge, and then the whole snes library is at your fingertips, through one cartridge, for less than the price of a single earthbound. Or to bring it into comic book terms, there's lots of cheap reprints yo! So don't get hung up on the cost of the originals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found out that I have to beat Bayonetta on Climax mode to get platinum Platinum Games really wants to challenge gamers Climax mode is pretty much the same as hard, but there's no witch-time when you evade an attack, which takes a lot of getting used to. That's what I've been working on for a long time now. Luckily there's an amulet you can acquire that automatically goes into witch-time when you get hit, which helps.

Yeah,I found out while playing Bayonetta that button-mashing isn't a good idea. I like that they're making gamers actually put some skill to beating their games.

COI Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 climax mode? The jokes write themselves Yep, it's intentional. This chick is a witch and her clothes are made out of hair. Every time she does a supper attack, the hair unravels and she's naked. It's totally over the top and making fun of itself, but that's the charm. Under the surface, the combat mechanics are masterclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is the DMC HD collection? DMC 1 and 3 are the ones worth playing; skip 2. DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta and now Metal Gear Rising are all games that demand the player learn the combat system to be successful, so they're all pretty tough on the default setting, and murderous on higher difficulties. But they're so satisfying to learn. You can do some insane combos in these games and really master them to the point that you can go through the whole game without getting hit, if you're good enough. So yeah, they're tough. How tough exactly really depends on you, it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spam the dodge button 5 times in a row (I think), Bayonetta gets stunned/dizzy for a few seconds. You just have to get the timing down, there's no way around it. Same thing for Metal Gear Rising: you have to get the timing down on the blocks and parries, or you'll get eaten alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
