Angela, it's repairable, if you don't mind voiding whatever warranty you might have.  

[MadamTarantula]

I think the warranty expired a while back, so no biggie.  

[Canas Renvall]

I do in fact listen to a lot of music, Angela. XD So I just might check it out.

Also, whoever has Steam... what's your Steam ID? biggrin

And yeah, you can either repair it by sending it to Microsoft which takes forever... or yourself, which does in fact void the warranty. razz

Well, mine got sent out today from Amazon, and the delivery estimate isn't for another week. Which is fine, I actually just got Bully for PS2, and it's all kinds of awesome, so far.

Yes, Chase, the school days feel that I love so much, hahah.
So I'll get on that now.

Hey Bio, so I finally got Shattered Memories for the PS2. Apparently the release for it was limited so I got a little lucky. It was a used version but was pretty much brand new for the most part. But anyway, I just finished playing through it and on a scale of A to F I give it a B-.

See I thought it was going to be a complete remake of the first one, but it actually ended up having its own story to it with all the familiar characters. Another thing I was disappointed with was that they took out the classic elements. Two big ones being that they only had ONE type of monster which annoyed the hell out of me more than scared me and they took away the classic fog and replaced it with snow? Not only that but like, I was expecting creepiness factor that you can find in the older games like blood and rust everywhere when the atmosphere switches to the horror atmosphere.

I overall very much liked it, although the psychiatrist was kind of an a*****e, and the music was great too, but the other elements they left out just left me disappointed more than satisfied. But still definitely worth a buy. I thought the new implementation of gameplay was very nicely done. And on a first time around of playing the game, I had no idea what to expect so in THAT regard it leaves a mysterious type of creepiness to it. And to give the storyline the benefit of the doubt, what the SH games have always been known for is having its own story and not really supposed to be related to any other SH games in story line, and that's exactly what they did. So anyway that's my review of it. Disappointed, but also loved it.

[edit] In regards to the gameplay, NOW I see where the newest SH game coming out gets its gameplay ideas with the flashlight, but they made it even more cinematic with the graphics and I look very forward to that game coming out. Now I just have to eventually get Homecoming.

It's not a remake, it's a reimagining. But still, if you play SH1 and Shattered Memories side by side, you'd be surprised how many similarities there is. He visits the same locations in the same order, and meets the same characters at those locations. The street names, the little things you see, like in Cybil's car, you could see a dog house out the Window, which is a nod to the dog house where you get the key in the first one. Things like that.

EDIT: Wow. So much for waiting a week. Persona came in today! One day delivery! Their shipping quarters must be local. But yey! The Junpei hat kicks a**. It's adjustable. I was worried it wouldn't fit my big head.

re-imagining definitely sounds better than a re-make. but i still liked it nontheless biggrin can't wait for the next one.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, it's being made by a different team, so who knows what they'll do with it. The characters, so far, seem nice and strong in personality. So let's hope we don't get another Henry, hahah.

well the trailer looked promising for the most part and it seemed to have the SH elements in it from the little we were shown. I could always rent it if nothing else. smile

In other news, guess what guys? I finally got Code Veronica X for the ps2!!! Yeaaaah my first classic bought of the series and 2 steps away from getting the originals I want (and can afford). biggrin I was at the mall for the hell of it and I had forgotten what of the RE series was on the ps2 system so I figured since I had a ps2, might as well ask. So I asked and the store near my house had CVX for ps2 in fairly good condition, nearly mint and with the original box case (without the manual). And only 7 bucks. Definitely look forward to playing it in a bit after I finish my Popsicle biggrin See Stranger? Told you'd I'd eventually get the originals xP  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, it's not the best of the classics, but it's definitely a step up from RE4 and the other franchise butchers.  

[King of Paradise]

School Days Feel...Sounds like a hypnotic drug.

Sorry I'm taking my sweet a** time with my part of the intro construction. I've been busy as of late...I'll get to it soon enough, though, so don't ye fret.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

It's okay, I'm slacking too. Actually, I'm gonna lock down the guild right now, and then slowly start getting rid of unneeded topics. Luckily, there's not TOO many.

Thank you! I'll bookmark it and show it to my husband when he gets home.

@Elena: 'Bout time! I hope you like it. The original on the Dreamcast was my first RE.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Yeah, see, it's those kinds of inconveniences that keep me from getting a 360. Kept I should say. We'll see how these Slims last in the long run. Then maybe, when I start earning REAL money, I'll get one.
