[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Heaven's Cloud [/i] [B][color=indigo] Well, does anyone else think that it is sad that the Rock vs Hogan match is the headline match yet no belts are involved? It has overshadowed the Jericho vs HHH match, which features two great wrestlers opposed to one great wrestler vs. an old, bald guy with a bad tan.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] It might not be so bad. Check this out: [I]Expect Pat Patterson to be involved in laying out the match guidelines for the Rock vs. Hulk Hogan bout at WrestleMania 18 this year. Patterson has earned a good reputation for covering up wrestlers weaknesses and laying out dramatic content for matches. Patteron was very instrumental in the early stages of The Rock's career, and the two are said to be very close. Patterson has also been known to work good with Hogan as he had a lot of involvment in Hogan's classic matches against Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage.[/I] Anyway, I'm a big mark for Hogan. He did make wrestling what it is today, after all.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SSJ4BROLLI [/i] [B]it's not invasion all over again. invasion was pitting two (wwf & wcw/ecw) companies against eachother. vince invited the nwo to the wwf(e) to destroy it. if this was an invasion vince would be on the side of the wwf(e). [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah, well once again you basically have a heel faction "invading" in an attempt to run the company out of business. Essentially, it's the same premise. In fact, the whole WCW/ECW angle was very similar to the original nWo storyline.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B] [color=royalblue]I don't consider this topic to be old. :) It was still on the first page, around the middle. Please remember, this forum (and some others here) tend to move fairly slowly. And thus, the definition of an "old topic" is perhaps different here to what it would be in General Discussion. Also, the use of old topics isn't against the rules at all -- it's preferable to creating an entirely new topic which would essentially be the same as the old one. Just thought you'd like to remain updated on the rules. ;)[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] I'd like to add that bringing back old topics in the videogame forums is useful when the topic is started before the game is released(as is the case with this one). Once the game is released and people are able to play the game, their opinions on the finished product can provide new life not only in the thread, but in the forum as well.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SuperSayian [/i] [B] Yes, the commercials I have seen had some sloppy screenplay. Very sloppy. The turns were indeed HORRIBLE. Ah, a fellow boater! Hah-HA! Finally. Someone to race. :twitch: Anyway, thanks you two. You've helped me(I'm actually NOT going to recommend this to my friend now.) greatly. Thanks! :) -Neil [/B][/QUOTE] Eh, I don't know. If your friend is starved for an Xbox game it's not all [I]that[/I] bad. The graphics are actually quite nice. The control is sloppy though, but it's not unplayable. I'd say that the worst thing about it is the horrible drawings and sucky voice acting. If he's stuck with the Box though, he wouldn't do bad to get the game.

Yes, you are correct actually. *Slaps self in head* I knew there was a drawback though. Your hp gets reduced to 1 after the battle so that you can't carry it over to the next.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Fou lu [/i] [B]ive know of a cheat about 7777 hp. this has nothin to do with this..... but if u get 1 persons health to exactly 7777 hp, they get 7777 fever, and damn its good! they do multiple attacks that all take of7777 hp to the opponent. i used this to defeat emerald, since i couldnt be bothered to breed a gold chocobo........too much hassle:sleep: [/B][/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it's only 777hp. The only problem with it is that it's easy to get killed by more powerful enemy types.

Here's some info courtesy of Mike Truitt. 1. Learn how to grind well, if you do not you will often times fall down, when you really should not have fallen down. 2. Likewise you should also have to learn how to manual well, if you are used to Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2's manualing then you will have a problem with this manualing at first, but then it will get easier and easier. 3. When you are trying to get high scores, make sure you know what each one of your characters moves are. You should know how long each move takes, how much each move is worth, whether or not you can do it in between manuals, and whether or not you can use them in between grinds. Knowing this much will get you on a decent start to getting high scores. 4. Learn how to make your character jump out of a half pipe or quarter pipe and do a big spin, but still be able to land in a grind on the top of that pipe that you jumped out of. If you are able to do this well, you can pull off a couple hundred thousand point combo without having any good line planned out, and with out using too much skill. 5. When working on a new line try to get parts of it done at a time, you should split it up into at least three parts, then when you have each part done really well, then you can link them together making the combo much easier than what it was before. 6. When you are jumping from grind to grind or manual to manual, try to add a spin in with the jump, this will add one to your mulitplyer and it can get up high much quicker than it normally would be able to. --------------------------------------------------- All Around High Scoring --------------------------------------------------- There are a few ways to get high scores. There are two parts of your score, a base score and a multiplier. The base score is the score before the multiplication sign and the multiplier is the number after the multiplication sign. Some people have a hard time getting the base score while others have a hard time getting the multiplier up. If you have trouble with one then you can still get decent combos, but if you have problems with both then you will not get anything over 100,000 with the average high combo. To get a high base score is hard to do at first until you figure out the secrets of it (You don't think that it is just the line that you take did you?). The first thing that you will need is a long rail or quarter pipe to grind. Then you will need to find a quarter pipe to end the combo on. Since there are no special grinds in this then it will be much harder to get a high combo than in THPS, but it is still possible. The first thing that you will need to do is get a huge spin into the grind, because the higher Degree of Spin the Higher Your MP degree of the spin the more your 180 multiplyer (MP) will go up. Spinning adds to your multiplyer. If you do a larger spin the more your multipler will get up, and in this game you will need to get a huge multipley, since your base score will be extreamly low compared to THPS. In fact, if you use perfect balance you will be able to get your multiplyer up to over 1000. Once you have found a good rail to grind on then you will need to find a good way to get onto that rail. Instead of just spinning, why don't you add a special grab trick going onto the rail and get your base score up. You could alternatly do a special flip, but you will not be able to get a higher multiplyer. Once you have got that down, now what should you do? Well, it is quite simple. At the end of the grind jump off and go towards a ramp, once there do a special trick off of the ramp. There are two things you could do... You could do a special flip and 180 or 360 or you could do a special grab with 900 or 1080. You should do the flip if you have a high multiplyer and a low base score. You should do the grab trick if you already have a high base score and need your multiplyer up a little bit. Now you have that part down. When you are done with that, there is a couple of things to do... You could land in a manual and get some more tricks in, or you could just end right there. The only time when you would want to end like that is if you had a lond combo already, or are just starting and can not manual very well yet. If you chose to go on there is only one thing to do, and that is find a quarter pipe and go over to that. When you get there, jump off and do a mega spin with a special grab (if you have your special bar still up) or with just a regular grab (if you do not have a special any more). Then all you have to do is land the combo. You might also want to have your character equipped with a Front Body Flip special because it is the quickest special and is worth the most.

Tekken 4 isn't even out for PS2 in Japan yet. Heck, it won't be out in America until September. Don't be a fibber....

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sephiroth [/i] [B] well, at least its the best one O_o;;; [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah, too bad it's barely the best one. Bah! Take that piece of crap away from me and let's play some SpongeBob Squarepants for PSX!

Bah! I'm going to settle this right now. What? I said I'm going to settle this right now. This was on Wrestlezone.com, so read it and weep. [I]The Rock will most likely be out just days prior to WrestleMania 18 on March 17th. He only came back for a two day WWF schedule last week to do the match with Undertaker at the No Way Out pay-per view, and make his match on RAW with Hulk Hogan while elevating the nWo as a serious heel stable at the same time. [B]Now he is expected to be out again re-shooting scenes for his starring role debut in the movie, "The Scorpion King" as well as doing voice-overs for a lot of the scenes for the same movie.[/B] There is no real word in yet as to whether or not he will return on RAW or SmackDown! prior to WrestleMania to give more hype to the match against Hulk Hogan, but it is considered a good possibility.[/I] Can you did that suckas?

Hey, it's always good to see people on the boards with a sense of humor.;) The joke wasn't really the best, but it's the thought that counts. Thumbs up soldier!

I haven't heard that one either. Kimarhi looks kinda like Grimus off of the McDonald commercials though.

:smirk: Ah well, I'm not much of a Pokemon fan, so I wouldn't have known. Thanks for clearing it up though.

I liked Movie 13: Dragon Fist Explosion! If Goku Can't Do It, Who Can? Tapion was a pretty cool character and I liked how it showed how DBGT Trunks got his sword. Plus, Hoi was a devious little sucker. The animation and cool music are both compelling reasons to like it as well.

Hopefully, the next Sonic Kart game will have better music than Sonic R! Blech!:nervous:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Squashed Snail [/i] [B]Well with Super Smash Bros. on the N64, it has the pokemon Pikachu and Jigglypuff, wouldn't they be copyrighted by Pokemon? ...ugh, all this is confusing me.. :worried: [/B][/QUOTE] I'm sure that Pokemon is a series created and licensed by Nintendo. They have as much of a right to that series as any of their others.

My friend bought a copy of the game and I've only had minimal time with it. I'll refrain from making any judgements on the game just yet, but from what I've seen it doesn't quite live up to Rockstar's recent efforts. Though the game [I]is[/I] about nothing but wreaking havoc, I was just expecting a little...more. Ah well, maybe the depth is there, but I just haven't seen it yet.

I hate those EGM April's fools tricks. They do a darn good job of making them look convincing. Anyone ever see that hidden Akuma character for Resident Evil 2? Those evil people.... But yeah, if Sonic was in the game it would be advertised. Nintndo would be fools if they didn't hype up the battle of gaming's titans. My bet is that when Sonic [B]does[/B] appear in the game, you'll be seeing it on the cover of the game packaging.

Well, I'll have a wait and see attitude for these films. I'm personally shocked that they would release a State of Emergency movie, seeing as how the game was almost canceled because of the 9/11 tragedy. Well, at least they can't screw up the plot seeing as how there isn't much of one.

I've done a little reading up on the game. The basic plot starts out as follows: [I]Tomb Raider Next Generation is a three part adventure that begins in cosmopolitan Paris, where Lara Croft arrives only to be framed for a crime she apparently did not commit, and begins a hasty retreat through the dark Parisian underbelly relentlessly pursued by the authorities while attempting to piece together a puzzle surrounding the conspirators who seek her doom, vehemently led by the unscrupulous Eckhardt. Weaponless and without a penny to her name, Lara must negotiate her way through the initial segment of her adventure combining a desperate acquisition of apparel and hardware with a search for five 14th century paintings penned by the famous "Obscure Painter."[/I] Reportedly there's going to be new roleplaying elements implemented into the quest(attribute development). I find this to be good news, seeing as how the series needs a major overhaul in the gameplay engine. Also, there will be downloadable components added in the form of character development and plot details. Ah well, I hope that for Core's sake it all comes together. The series started out so well....

Ha, I'm glad that Buff Bagwell isn't returning. That guy had one of the worst matches I've ever seen against Booker T and was released like a week later for being a disruptive force in the back. I mean, he had his mother call in and complain about traveling conditions and he even refused to sell a double team powerbomb from the Acolytes. He's one of the things that was wrong with WCW before it went under.

Dusting himself off gingerly, Crazy White Boy surveyed the situation. A gleam of pride flashed flashed briefly in his eyes, as he noticed Blank lying on the ground motionless, smattered in dust and foliage. Cautiously, he approached the legendary warrior, dirt crunching underneath his shoes. "Blank," he asked softly, picking up a stick. Grinning widely, he poked at his downed opponent and poked him with the stick, jumping back immediately afterwards. Still, there was no movement. "Blank," he repeated, this time nudging him with his foot. A slight breeze kicked small pebbles into the air and the wind tossed White Boy's tattered shirt, but still there was not movement from Blank. Now, kicking his pal, White Boy celebrated and did a happy dance. "Well, amigo it looks like you just visited the home of the whooper and got your butt served a pound cake with a side of knuckle sandwhich. I am the winner!"

Okay, first of all, Altron is correct. The Rock is reshooting scenes from the Scorpion King movie. He will be back around the time of Wrestlemania. Next up, most people don't get uptight about wrestling being called "fake." We're just making counterpoints to the claim by saying that true pain and injuries are consequences of the squared circle. And..*Slaps Booker S* I'm pretty Sure that WWFE stands for World Wrestling Federation Enterprises. They've had the name ever since they made their stock available. The Wrestling Guru has spoken. *rings bell*

I have a perfectly good rebuttal for that Perfect Dark point. I forgot all about Perfect Dark Zero! :whoops: Anyway though, I'm a bit skeptical about Metroid. I know that it will be a quality title and all, but there's the underlying concern that it won't be much like the Metroid I remember. When I get GameCube later on(for Wrestlemania this June), I know that Metroid will be on my list so don't take it like I'm knocking the game...just yet. It'll probably be better than most of the first person shooters out there, but living up to the series will be a huge challenge . I guess my argument's weak because I'm not really as behind it as I should be.:laugh:
