Relevant text:except it is. it's coming out 27 june in the us. the speculation in this thread is based on what people have seen so far, which is a fair amount of the gameplay.

Definitely a taste thing. They're so different that it's probably difficult to like both.
not sure why you say that - lots of people like many types of games, you know. :P
me included. i liked j&d okay but overall it was just too simple to be really fun. it felt even simpler than banjo-kazooie, a game from the previous gen, which is really saying something. perhaps if i had played j&d when it had first come out i would have been more impressed. dunno.
jak ii on the other hand is great so far. my only outstanding complaint is that there's so many pedestrians on the streets/in the air. other than that, the gta thing only feels slightly forced and works pretty well overall. i can see travel becoming tedious as the game goes on but atm i'm only 22% in.
but yeah, huge improvement over the first - i like that it's still a platformer but has a bunch of added elements that were reasonably new at the time. also way more varied than j&d which is a welcome change.
the gun in particular is very well implemented ... when reading about the game i thought i'd hate it, but it works so damn well. the thing that really gets me is the fact that you can still use all your normal melee moves when you have your gun out. in so many other games, it's either one or the other.

Relevant text:finished rainbow six: vegas. excellent game - safe to say it's one of my very favorite shooters. it's actually not quite as tactical as i was expected (apparently ghost recon has more of that, so i'll be picking that up too), but it was just right considering the setting and type of gameplay. mexico + vegas ftw. two places i have fond memories of visiting in real life, so it was fun to go back.
got pretty far into soul reaver 2 before it started refusing to load some rooms, leaving them in a persistent secret world state. i assume it's the disc ... the game isn't that great, but i'll probably just buy another copy since it's like $2.99 or something.

in-game of course ... i don't sit there with a timer or anything. :P
i got 100% too but i dunno, just didn't take me as long as prime 1. the latter took me 21 hours iirc. it's probably due to my having to get familiar with the concept of a metroid prime game whereas echoze was more been there, done that.

Also Ark, do you mean final time in-game, or real time?

i'm not sure it took me that long the first time ...

They technically are sort of practicing, but it's only just so they don't get completely lost. They're still thinking it should take them about 15 hours to beat Echoes.

you mean if it's in a link? if a user wants it to open in a new window/tab then they can just open it in a new window or tab themself (right click > open in new tab/window). don't think we should force that on users who might not be expecting it.
sounds like a good idea. i was actually thinking of doing something like this, but i'm going to wait for more user feedback before doing anything.
Quote from Gamma_Metroid:
I think it would be better if it had the default clicking action be opening a new page (if there is one)

Quote from Gamma_Metroid:
if you can resize it, a little box appears "above" the image with some kind of icon showing that clicking on it will resize it.

Relevant text:it still alternates shades - the same shades it's been alternating for months. maybe try looking at the monitor a different angle? the shades aren't very different.
