For lunch we had bacon wrapped hotdogs that some street vendors were selling. Torrent refused, insisting he'd have a heart attack if he ate any.
Last thing we did there was watch the cos-play fashion show...it was Tecmo...for DoA: beach volleyball...yeah...came away with quite a few pictures. Boy am I glad I brought my camara. Gotta get them developed and scanned. I wonder if Torrent got any good shots in cause most of mine involved me raising my camara above the crowd's heads to where I couldn't see through the viewer.
| Diablo 2:LoD patch 1.10 | Bastard Blizzard rep wouldn't tell me anything, but Tredvolt managed to leech some info outta them. Expect the runewords to change, the skill-stacking idea is probably gonna fly making for much more versatile builds, and the items list found on Diablo II.net | will have a few more minor tweaks. Exepct it out by early June at the latest. It would have been out by E3, but their lead programmer was incredibly sick for 2 weeks.
| Final Fantasy X-2 | Looks good, alot like FFX-1. Yuna has guns now...which I really hope it expains, and she doesn't look so dumb in this game anymore. The rest of the FFX-1 cast is back I presume, I did see Rikku being used in the game. But over all, same game new story. |
| Final Fantasy XI | Well if you REALLY love FF games, you might like this. Most people found it too slow. It's MMORPG with FF style battles...all turn based. IMO, it was a good idea, but there's a BIG something lacking in the gameplay department. |
| Half-Life 2 | Eh...they had a video on it, but the line was insanely long and I don't think it was worth the wait, even though they gave you a T-shirt at the end of the video |
| Halo 2 | From what I saw, it's Halo 1 again. With different maps and probably different weapons, but the overall look wasn't much different. |
| MU | Interesting Korean game that's still in it's Alpha stages. It looks like a major Diablo 2 ripoff, but it's all serverside making the game harder to hack hopefully. It looks almost exactly like D2, cept with some better graphics.
The major difference comes in the environment. It's MMORPG, not secluded games. Might be worth a look, but again, it's not even in Beta stages now. There was some word that they MIGHT do waht Ragnarok Online does and have an open beta, but not too sure. |
| Soul Calibur 2 | I forsee, many hours of playing this game in my room. Will definately buy as soon as it comes out in the US. |
| WarCraft 3: Frozen Throne | Looks good, added new heros and skills, ect, ect. You know you're gonna go and buy it anyways no matter what I tell you here, just cause you already have WC3 and it's made by Blizzard. |
| World of Warcraft | If you're looking for a new MMORPG, forget FFXI and grab this. While FFXI might look prettier, the gameplay here is much better and everything looks smoother. |
