What the heck is up around here? NO Kingdom Hearts 2, No Suikoden 5????

[Amy]

hmmmm.... well, though PS2 games are not hacked here, we could talk about them, I guess... I mean well, for sure soem do have and enjoy the PS2 system, I am sure, so where are you all at?

Anyway, heck, Suikoden 5 and Kingdom Hearts 2 was released awhile back, and after I had a long case and put a scum bag in prison, I took a small vacation to enjoy these games. Gahhh these are looooooooooooong games, well done, I will say and very fun, heck also add to that these games are also why I not been 'here' been other places when I could that talks about the things good of today like these games.

Well, mostly the games, and not saying anything bad, but what the heck, we all do still enjoy what is 'in' today yes? Just wondering, no talk on these games, no talk on movies in a good while, UltraViolent is gone, time for it's DVD soon (already ordered a few copies) but otherwise we are up to date here---anyone?

The Silent Hill movie is out in a short while, heck a week and a half, anyone to enjoy that?

Anyway just wondering, nothing bad, but gosh, for general gamming mess is kind of getting slow, time to shout about those new games and such, heck DVD titles come out every Tuesday even, they are not 'games' but still...just wonder nothing bad, but saying hey are you guys all missing out on these?

Records already showing, sad to say, Suikoden 5 is becomming 'rare' (hope you pre-ordered as I did) it is much like Wild ARMS Alter Code F...really getting rare, I do and would advise anyway possible not to miss these games.

Kingdom Hearts 2 will be around it is a BIG HIT, but Suikoden 5 is one of those that as Suikoden 2 did will vanish fast sadly. (In fact the great likeness from Suikoden 5 to Suikoden 2 is talked about alot, even it getting rare already)

It is kind of sad, but the ways of the game world, Wild ARMS (the remake on PS2) and Suikoden 5 were not made in 'great' numbers, because after Suikoden 4 'sucking ass' Konami knew to stay 'safe' and not produce too much. Same with AgeTek and Wild ARMS remake, the game stores failed to order enough of those, so little copies were made.

Anyway, just saying where is the talk of 'new' games at, and hope you all were able to get these games, if PS2 hacking is to come or whatever, darn otherwise these games released just two weeks ago (Suikoden 5) and a game even in November not even even half a year old yet...darn rare mess. (Wild ARMS remake) so rare games still go on it seems...hope we all who cares about them got them.

And the pre-order bonuses and game guilds, well if you missed that you are even in a more sinking boat, then those who just missed the games, hell, PS2 RPG games these days you BETTER have a guild to tell you how to get each little unlockible thing.

Anyway Kingdom Hearts is GREAT, but right now I am more into Suikoden 5, it is great like the days of the first one even and ofcorse Suikoden 2, now game magz say it was only a review of 6 to 7 above adverage, but not as high as Kingdom Hearts full list of 9.9's and such.... but still for me I LOVE the Suikoden series.

Now for sure someone out there has to also love it as well, Hell where the heck is TruWizdom and Absolute Empty at, they were all into the otherwise Suikoden and general RPG universe then most others I've seen here.

Again NOT knocking other RPG lovers, Edgar and Ace I know LOVES them as well, but hey guys where are you, come now show the love. I know this place is more into 'retro' mess and such, but come now, I would figure by now heck these forums would have been even more full then GameFaqs. about such games. (Goodness, not even mention yet of the FF7 DVD out the 25th or even the other FF games soon to be out...no fussing, but come out now, where are you RPG lovers?)

yeah I know the feeling...I think suikoden 4 was sold at our local walmart few a few months, but they took them off the shelves and haven't sold a suikoden game sence..not to mention they never sold wild arms alter code F and a few other RPG's I wanted...and thats the only place around where I live where I can buy games..I hate buing online too because I don't have a credit card or checking account..man its just a pain to get them..

[LiquidManZero]

It's quite possible they're making an artificial shortage of the games to make them more popular as a side effect of being hard to get.

[Amy]

Ah I see, and am so sad about that Serge, I know you are indeed into the RPG games alot as well. (odd the term RPG means role playing 'games' and we always call them role playing games 'games'...eh odd but ehh it fits)

Otherwise, I am also like you Serge, I do have credit cards, but with all the BS mess these days neevr, would never use them online in anyway, even places 'online' I do buy from has to take check or money orders, never use a credit card. Grab one to build yourself up, but never use it. So I am in same with you, however, in my area video games stores are BIG, I believe I said it here, like a few times, within ONE city block I have 8, count them 8 video game stores, a Babbages, a GameStop (used to be Funco til name change they went thru) an EB Games all three of those belong to same company anyway, a Buy Rite (ripp off joint heaven but still a game store) Game Crazy, (a spin off of Hollywood video renatls even) Rhino Video Games, something called 'Poor Boyz' (a start up local mom and pop game store) and a store called 'Magic' a DVD/Video game store, also a start up mom and pop store.

Count into that also a Circut City, a Wal-Mart (Super also one of those huge as 16 foot ball stadiums Sam's Club with Wal-Mart, and a Wal-Mart gas station also even) a BestBuy, a Toys R Us, two malls full of CDs, DVDs, and yes even video games sotres all in those musci type stores. A Target, and all other mess, hehe a lingerie store I get well my underwear and panties and mess, and a few adult stores.... all of this mess all within one city block, not even a mile from one end til the next.

Anyway I know I am rather lucky, VERY lucky to live in an area so into video games, yes the rare titles go fast even here with darn a million stores to grab the mess in one block (you all should visit my area for Christmas, you never seen shoppers simply park on the street even)

Anyway I do know I am lucky and even with that I still know and keep an eye on video game titles to indeed pre-order. Sad that games would go so rare, but they tend to do that these days.

I am not sure if what LMZ says is true, it could be, and heck I would expect it on some things, but to know if it is all for real, it is hard to tell, how can not so 'great' games get rare?

Otherwise as is, look at Wal-Mart even now, even the one right down the road from my home, not in the mall area, and shall I say I can sit here at my home and count 20 or more Wal-Marts NOT 60 miles apart some alot closer then that, I can count 8 in my home area and see the signs from one to the otehr even at some of them. Anywya Wal-Mart is good, but is not too great on getting 'rare' games in at many times. As far as Kingdom Hearts 2, well Square knows that will sale, so no worries there, heck they got so many of those games they are even over stocked.... Kingdom Hearts 2 will not be rare for a good several years it shows even right now.

As for the other titles I mentioned, I can see why those are rare, as for the Suikoden series, I LOVE that series, but well everyone must say #4 kind of is the series low point, it is far from #2 or even #1 or even #3 even, it is still Suikoden, but was one of those not so great ones, tacktics was the same, a small other strike in the series, so #5 had to remake it all. And starnge but it seems like five seconds after #5 came out that day, everyone was like "It is like #2!!!!" so that alone made alot of people grab that title up fast, and I can see how it is like #2 it is a Suikoden feeling like #2 almost remade.

Now again not sure why this series is so rare with a new game anyway right now, Konami is not one to short change the public on a run of game prints. Maybe it is as LMZ said, but if is, they I believe would as they did #4 (the one that sucks even) reprinted those for thsoe who missed it at the start. Konami will do that, so maybe Wal-Mart will get them in time, being Konami does that ships a few and waits to ship 'reprints' or what they call reprints, as is again LMZ could be very correct about all that.

As for the Wild ARMS remake, well that is a different story, I do believe, a friend a game store manager (Game Stop even right near me yes that one at that mall city area) said that so 'few' of those games were indeed ordered, heck they did not even put the thing on the shelf in my area, 'pre-orders' only. Again as my manager friend said, the game which was made by AgeTec, a company nothing to those like Capcom and Konami is not well known and well as was thought by the orders by game stores and otherwise, the AgeTec company took the easy way out and ratehr lose money for making an endless supply, they did make very few copies as far as game pressing goes. The reason again because it is AgeTec, not an exactly 'rich' game company and also because based on orders 'first' they made very very little, only enough and a few beyone to cover pre-orders sadly.(Game Store orders now also, and Wal-Mart sadly is not considered a 'game store' though they doo have a whole eletronic game section, their orders are based only sadly, on well the number games, as with Kingdom Hearts games that are great in numbers you will always always find at Wal-Mart. (Nothing bad about Wal-Mart, just Wal-Mart's claim to fame, to have 'everything' most popular under one roof, if it is not popular, well we all know they do not have it, at all, if ever.)

So with that and as is, I do feel bad and hope and would hope that we all would be able to get into the next gen gamming soon and with great luck. I know sadly LMZ has not even went to the PS2 yet and these titles getting rare is what will and has made hacking and getting codes for this system a true downer. They claim the hacking is always getting better, but as is, the system needs far more true gifted hackers such as well LMZ and such....and even when those days come, even if they ever do really now, a PS2 game is well LARGE, most are on those DVD discs, so copying those and sending those across the net would take well with dail up, a few months. So indeed missing these games is and would hurt all in more then a few ways.

Anyway that is all down the road, but is something I think about seeing the pure wishing for PS2 type codes these days...and how impossible codes would be with a hacker without the game in question.

Anyway, I do hope you Serge and other's who indeed wish these games also ofcorse menaing LMZ and hopeing he too can and shall be able to get into PS2 gamming soon enough as well, all I hope shall be able to get ahold of them someday soon enough.

The way game titles are these days, just does not seem 'right' I mean years ago, alot of years when I was in Jr High school even, (1989 and such) hell, I remember this same area with all those game stores now having just ONE Babbages in the mall and one Toys R Us,,,the same one but still, no BestBuy....but still, even then alot fewer stores and YET games seemed to be more on the shelves. Maybe it was just me, or the systems not having so many games then, but as was, any Genesis game I had to 'wait' for my birthday or another Holiday, Easter or Christmas, or such, or save up my money, I was a kid so hey....but still, even then waiting a half a year til a whole year then, the games on the shelfs then hardly ever changed, other then to get new titles. One of my favorites for Genesis is and was El Ventoe...and I wanted it so badly and got Genesis mainly just for that, and how many years in the 16-bit era and days it stayed on the shelf.... never getting rare, but again good luck finding it 'now'...just mad how video games mess is. Heck, I even recall when 'Atari' 2600 games were all over the stores and such, and they had on play display that Atari 'Haunted Hosue' game.---the real older days, and even then games were 'around' for a long time, now these days they are around 'more' but odd enough certain 'titles' just seem to vanish rather quickly now, hell you cannot even find a 'non-player's choice' game title that is and was first PS2 run. (The Bouncer a game that sucks ass so bad, but good luck in even finding that piece of dirt, a piece of shit even and IT is even rare....odd enough how the PS2 game days are indeed going.) Why cannot it be like in the SNES/Genesis days and even NES days too, when there were ALOT of game titles, but you could nearly find them 'all' at a single Toys R Us.... these days, good luck finding even 2% of the total PS2 titles in a Toys R US or Wal-Mart or well even a video game type store too....

hmmm still no talk on any of these and yet seems yes indeed Wild ARMS Alter Coide F has gone the way of the Rare 'dodo'...but heck I played and beat and unlocked all near half a year ago so now even I am not interested in it, Suikoden 5 has a few replays when I get to it on the way, and Kingdom Hearts 2...well ehck that is still number 'one' on the charts. (But the 'Pirates' helped that along) Plus with the movie and Pirate games which suck, do as I said do not buy do NOT buy) save your money and do as I did, hell go to DisneyLand and ride the new Pirates ride---heck I remember the old ride and the new one is better, seems like Pirates is drawing in money from us all, but hello hello again where are you all????

I do not mean this in an offensive way now, but hey more then just I out there has to have money and enjoys it by going to cali (D8isneyLand) and buying games when they come out, yes yes? (But again, heck this year been to Europe for soem work related mess and back and to the west coast and bought alot of anime/game related mess otherwise)
