Umm you know if you get a city hostile to you, you can run away then come back after 72 hours and it will be back to normal, right?

Do you just only let it autosave or something? I occasionally make new saves randomly so I have reference points to go back to if I need to. It really helps in cases like that....like the one time I slaughtered the entirety of Rivet City just because I wanted to kill that drunk bitch with the little kid running around. I figured, she was such a poor excuse for a mom, that I would kill her in her sleep, but I didnt have that perk yet, so I just powerfisted her face.

Then everyone hated me and I killed them.
That took a long time to get out of there.
Yeah, I was drinking and completely forgot to save. I could actually just start again at my only other save spot but that's right after leaving Vault 101. It's a bitch too especially after the brutal, and long battle I had in the super market and Fire Ant town.

suppressor decay isn't that big of a deal. i don't think it ever affected me. neither was fatigue that much. just keep eating animals and you'll be fine. but if you keep them in your inventory for too long, they spoil and will make you sick

did you get MGS3 or MGS3: Subsistence?

MGS3S might be my all time favorite game depending on how i feel that day...
i don't know ? i got that trilogy set, so whichever one comes with that
MG2 and MG3 should both be Subsistence versions.
MGS2 = substance

MGS3 = subsistence

i ended up having to kill a shit-ton of people in rivet city when i got busted enslaving that fuckface for the "strictly business" mission

the really funny part was that the people left apparently forgave me within a few minutes and everyone on radar went from red to yellow

then i tried to kill the bad guy from the android mission and everyone got pissed at me again ! even though that guy was a motherfucking ASSHOLE

so i just killed the rest of everybody

suck on THAT, xasthur fans

Oh! Well, I still think I killed way too many characters that may be important some how. I'm upset that the little black kid ran away before I could kill him, pussy. :evil:

It's been a while since I played the game but you don't have to start the game all over, there's a way you can raise you're karma/likeablility to a safe point.

In rivet city, there's a priest, if you give him a few large donations, he'll up the levels for you.

If he's killed a character that's needed for a quest his Karma level doesnt matter. If he's refering to Megaton he could of fucked up Blood Ties and The Wasteland Survival Guide. Except you can get Blood Ties at another place too.

There aren't all that many, but I would highly recommend patapon in addition to the ones already mentioned. Both gtas are pretty cool, and if you like srpgs there are some really good ones like jeanne d'arc and disgaea. If you haven't already, you should definitely put custom firmware on your psp. This will allow you to use countless homebrew applications and emulators, and bypass the piece of shit umd drive entirely, improving load times and battery life by quite a bit. You will also be able to play any ps1 game flawlessy, and you probably don't need me to tell you that the ps1 has one of the greatest game libraries of any console ever. I have completed ff7-9, vagrant story, resident evil 2, silent hill, persona 2, soul reaver, chrono cross, dragon quest 7, metal gear solid, suikoden 2, and quite a few others on my psp and they all ran flawlessly. Custom firmware transforms the psp from a pretty crappy multimedia device to the best handheld ever.

If you feel like paying for them, you can download them off of the Playstation Store and play them that way.

You definitely need to get in to that. You can download the ISO's from tons of old awesome PS1 games via torrents all over the web and play them on the PSP. It's really what makes the system worth owning.

my gf bought Oblivion: game of the year edition and I just started playing the Shivering Isles.... holy shit. everything good about Oblivion is taken to the next level. level/world designs are more interesting, the enemies are more difficult, the missions are more varied, the plot is actually compelling. one of the best expansions ever.

I think I'm gonna go trade in Lost Odyssey, Afro Samurai (ugh), and Call of Duty 4 and throw that money towards getting Tales of Vesperia tomorrow. Still keeping Bioshock (AWESOME GAME) and Left 4 Dead. I've been playing with Natas and his friend a lot lately. Molester Stallone has jumped in on a couple games too. Left 4 Dead never gets old. I fucking love that game.

If you don't see yourself playing COD4 much online then I'd say it's worth it. TOV is a solid RPG, whereas Lost Odyssey is a boring chore and Afro Samurai is a foundation of suck.

rock band unplugged - 7.5/.10 - i love rhythm games and i loved frequency on the ps2. if it had better songs i'd probably give it a 9.

bionic commando - ?/10 - i just started playing it so i only have around an hour on it, but once you get used to the swinging mechanics it flows really well. i'll have to put more time into it to decide what i would rate it, but it's at least a 7.

You'll get an email whenever they send out keys again. They do it about every week or 2, hell I ended up with 2 beta keys and gave one to a buddy of mine. Anyway be on the look out for BroMan43 or VonBronBroMan(They allow you to make 4 characters total, so you can have one for every class if you want.) I'm more fond of using the Gunner class since I'm more of a run and gun type.

Who's up for making a thread for Battlefield Heroes?
