Guitar Hero: Metallica Has The Worst Online System I Have Ever Used
pls respond posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1101
Okay, so today was my first foray into the online features of Guitar Hero: Metallica (GH:M for short). Now, I start off with some Pro Face-Off, since I'd like to play against some other expert players. So I get things set up, and get looking for a match. I get paired with another expert player, which is good. Same thing happens next round. The third time, however, was not the charm. I got paired up with a friggin' medium player, which SUCKS. You see, back when GH: Aerosmith was released, Neversoft added in a new feature that allowed players of different difficulties to play the mode together, unlike the original version, where you had to be on the same difficulty. Though, they made sure the online play had filters that allowed players to only search for same-difficulty matches. Then, World Tour was released, and we got a brand new online system, that did away with filters. No, now, if you wanted to play PFO with other players at the same difficulty, you had to keep searching, and hoping that you'd get into a match of your liking. On top of that, you couldn't pick a match from a list anymore. Now you are forced into a quick-match style matchmaking service, and you're automatically put into a match. But that's not the worst part. To accommodate for the lower scores on lower difficulties, Neversoft added a system that modified the points earned by the lower difficulty player, making them worth more so both players would be even. I hate this. This system gives players on easier difficulties an advantage. They have less notes, and it's easier, so they could get, say, 97% on a song on easy and beat a player on expert who got 96%. It's unfair to people with harder charts. Here's how they should fix it: Suggestion #1: Make two different modes. What they should do is have two different version of PFO. One would be called something like "Party Pro Face-Off", which allows difficulty freedom. The other could be called something like "Hardcore Pro Face-Off", which forces player to be on the same difficulty. Suggestion #2: Give the upper hand to players on tougher difficulty settings. Basically, have it so that players on the higher difficulty will win if they have an exact same performance percent-wise. -
Yeah, I picked it up. I'll update this with online info later.

Went video game shopping today, I think I scored some good stuff, I always keep an eye out for rare video games, today I was rewarded! First I got Contra 4 for the DS, it is getting harder to find and I am a big Contra fan. It was marked down as the seal appears to be broken, 9.99 = great deal. Next up is Jeanne Darc for the PSP, this game has become quite rare. Fantasy/reality rpg game set in France around the 1800s, good stuff! Lastly, the best score of the day. The World Ends With You is extremely hard to find anymore, heck I could not even find it when it was first released anywhere! Dare I open it? Moving on to toys now, I got some more darts for the Nerf Vulcan. Picked up a Clone Trooper Walker too. Reports circulating online reveal that the Chrome Vader has been found in these sets, I have one allready but I am very tempted to crack the seal on this, maybe there is another one inside!

I waited for you... Today... But you didn't show... Oh no, no... I needed you... Today... So where did you go? :: Yeah the rest of the song is not applicable. >_> BtB

Computer nerd + shotgun toting + smexy accent + smexiness in general = HAWTNESS These are my basic thoughts on Mass Effect. BtB

Got some stuffs today, new and old. First the new! Kmart had clearence on these, I had to get em. Now I have nerf armor for the DS and PSP! Next up, a treasure trove of retro games! All of these games have become difficult to find, Double Dragon II is one of the rarest games on the NES now. I knew I had to have it. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Oracle of Season/Ages are some of my all time favorites, and RPM racing was just for nostalgia. I remember playing all these games in my youth, cant wait for all the memories to come flooding back!

Playing Halo 2 again, and it's reminding me why it's my favorite of the series... But I should really finish Mass Effect first, shouldn't I? BtB

Wow, I have been playing it on hard mode. It is tough, very tough, ridley and mother brain were difficult. I am now in the chozo ruins and cannot seem to get my power suit back. 3 hits from the space pirates and old zero suit Samus is toast! Anyone have some tips? It is a shot in the dark but hey, I need help on this!

The 150 item limit in Mass Effect is really driving me crazy. >_< BtB

Now I have to get two of these. >_< BtB

Yes, I now have Empire Earth 2. Apparently, there's a multiplayer feature, so if anyone wants to play, just PM me or something.

What is your highest Cruel Brawl score? The most I have gotten so far is 5 with Metaknight and Jigglypuff. My goal is to get at least 12, somehow, and proof of it with a screenshot. I really dislike the blue alloy.

I always knew it was there, but until just very recently, I never knew how to do it. The game is Simcity for Super Nintendo. You might remember I had a blog entry on this game before. Since it was released in 1991, I found myself hooked on this game, it is simple yet extremely complex at the same time. I have been doing searches online since I had the internet, looking for the elusive debug code for this game. Nothing ever surfaced. But now, it has finally been revealed. If anyone is interested, here is the code: Debug Menu: Load or start a new city, then choose END from the Save/Load menu. When the "See you soon!" screen appears, press the following on controller 2: Left, A, Right, Y, Up, B, Down, X, Select, Start, Start, Select, R, R, L, L. Press Up or Down to scroll through the options, and press Left or Right to toggle them on or off. To activate the selected features, change MEMORY to SET and reset the SNES (they will remain active even if you power off). To deactivate everything, go back into the menu, change MEMORY to CLR, and press B. The code enables things that were never before thought possible. Why it took 18 years for it to surface just baffles me. I have several video gaming sites bookmarked, none of them ever had it. I am guessing that the person who contributed the code must have been a game developer, no one else could have possibly known the code. I am now tinkering around with it on my SNES console, I should have some pics soon of the ultimate city, with a record population mark.

My dad's laptop died. It had mai pokemans on it. I had three shinies and was training my team for the E4. I was almost ready. They were all like level 54. ... And yes, the hard drive was dead. They already wiped it. BtB

If you've got Fallout 3, and 800 Microsoft points, BUY IT. You won't regret it.

So I decided to try my hand at Fire Emblem on the Wii again, on hardmode. Wow, how did I ever beat this game on that setting before? I am outnumbered, out leveled, and out of patience. I must have gotten some big stat gains. Im on chapter 5 now and I cannot seem to get the allies help in time, I get like 2 or 3 turns and they are doomed. Does anyone have a strategy for this? Please?

In the games: Swampert. Nice movepool and great stats. Only one weakness but it's a biggy to Grass. Sableye is also on up there due to it's lack of weaknesses and huggable movepool. In theory: <3 Lapras BtB
