Of course I had to revive this thread this week. The game I was destined to play releases tomorrow.

And for them to release on the same day is a glorious event. Metal Gear Solid HD is not high up on my OMG it's finally here list, but maybe now I can actually finish Snake Eater. I won't be able to sit down and play Chainsaw until this weekend though, so it's going to be a LONG work week.

I know most of the rules, some I keep forgetting, and I know how every piece works. But when it comes to strategy, my mind comes up blank. I can think one or two moves ahead and then my mind is like, wait, wha!? It's the opposite of how I usually am. I always think ahead, and I avoid anything that puts me at a disadvantage. I'm good at reading people, and I'm purposefully unorthodox so that it's hard for people to figure me out. Why none of that translates to chess, I have no idea. I still enjoy playing the game though.

I personally don't care to much about DLC. Unless it has trophies... Then I care! And after I care I buy it. DLC with trophies is my kryptonite. ;-) O on "The Drop" http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/the-drop/page/9#post-22737 Wed, 30 May 2012 01:05:19 +0000 O 22737@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ 8 bucks wasn't too bad, so I went ahead and downloaded it. Very slick looking game. Double d is going to find out the hard way that I'm God awful at chess! This is the kind of game 3G is perfect for. I may reactivate my service if my buddy buys it. Add it to the ever growing list of games that feature release day DLC. Vita seems to be the Queen (yes, Vita is a lady, a sexy lady) of release day DLC. I'm waiting on the Resistance demo to finish now. Probably won't get a chance to play it until I get to work though. I won't be buying the game anytime soon, but if I enjoy the demo it'll be added to the must get list.

I'm curious how well the 3D is pulled off. I still have the Ultimate Board Game Collection on both my PSP Go and my Vita so I really am not jonesing for a chess game. If they had done the 2 for 1 then I might have considered it.

So far I'm only looking at the Just Cause 2 bundle and Motorstorm Apocalypse bundle for PS3. Aaron Jean on "The Drop" http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/the-drop/page/8#post-22716 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:28:57 +0000 Aaron Jean 22716@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ I love having a system for asynchronous play, but I think having dedicated servers that store simple turn information which is fetched upon game launch would be far more efficient than having to spend the half-minute to load up your PSN messages and download turn information. Anyway, I'd still love to use the feature to play with others online, but I think it could have been handled much better. I do love to have the option to play chess live in person, especially since I would play with my 12-year-old cousin. I like to be able to teach him some strategies and show him when he misses opportunities in person. With asynchronous play, that dynamic won't really work. It's a little inexcusable that they chose to leave out simple Ad-Hoc play, in my opinion. It's a feature that every PSP chess game has. DarthDanMan on "The Drop" http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/the-drop/page/8#post-22714 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:50:44 +0000 DarthDanMan 22714@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ This is the price in other regions since they haven't released any info on the NA price. <blockquote>£3.69,€4.49,AU$6.25</blockquote> So it's looking like it'll be around the $6 range. While the slow speed, in correspondence chess, might be somewhat annoying earlier in the game if you're both on, it won't be later. Sice later in the game, when more thinking is required, it's pretty much mandatory. I mean personally I might have three hours to sit down and finish a game, (The most I've spent is 3.5 hours) but if I did, I'd rather do it face to face.

I don't really mind the whole message thing, I prefer it like that since I don't have time to sit and play a match. But like you said Granpire, it all depends on the price. 5 bucks and I'm in. anything more and I'll wait until it is 5 bucks. Aaron Jean on "The Drop" http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/the-drop/page/8#post-22709 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:18:41 +0000 Aaron Jean 22709@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ I am so looking forward to that Gravity Rush demo. Looks fantastic. Pure Chess seems only passable, going from reviews. It lacks any live multiplayer or Ad-Hoc play, and the asynchronous multiplayer is sluggish due to the speed of PSN messages. It does have two-player local play, though, which is a plus. I guess it depends on the price... If it's only a few bucks, I may pick it up.

You can only carry limited items in your inventory, but weapons and armor you can carry them all at once. I have no problems with linear games, but LoD is too linear, it feels like an on-rail RPG. The story is also meh, some events are very familiar, but there are parts of the plot that are indeed original. Also, transforming into dragoons in color-coded fashion? Power Rangers much? lolz. And yeah, the game is toooooooooo god damn serious. Sometimes it tries to be funny, but fails miserably. BUT STILL, Legend of Dragoon is one of my treasured PS1 games. It is flawed, yes, but I can't deny its charm. The Addition system is pretty neat. BLAZING DYNAMO!

Maybe I'll get farther this time around. Max Payne releases on PSN this week. I've never played the Max Payne games, but lucky for me it'll be releasing on Android devices either this week or sometime soon. My phone can run GTA III, so I'm hoping it can handle Max Payne too.
