But then again I haven't seen it for sale "used" anywhere yet. So maybe it was a good purchase, and be worth more down the road?
I would count on it.

i can't speak for flake, but the reason i hated the gamecube version was because of the button switching. since i didn't play much of the game i can't comment on any other aspect of it besides that.

how's the button arrangement in the ps2 version?
if you took a shit, please put it back

Normal. Human.

Square is shoot and jump is X. The gamecube version was...I don't know how a major publisher could fuck something up SO bad.

It was fine... what went wrong with the GC version? You guys seem to be hating on it pretty bad. What was the button arrangement, it couldn't be changed?

They essentially switched the B and A buttons, making A to shoot and B to jump.

Seriously.

Referring to the original topic -

Kengo: Legends of the 9..

I bought it day one, brand new, being such a fan of Kengo on the PS2.. If only there was a youtube video of my reaction to the game that night... I swore to myself I would never make such an expensive leap of faith again..

Not so long after, I reserved and picked up on day one Guilty Gear X2: Overdrive... :roll:

Second one the springs to mind, mgs 4. I love this game but I bought it for $100 and not even a week later the platinum version came out for $50. Just really bad timing.
Do you live in Canada or something, because if you don't, you really need to find a better video game store if you're paying $100 for games.
Australia, even though our dollar is worth more than the greenback we still pay through the nose for games here. Thank god for eBay and the ps3's region freeness. Oh and of course steam and all thier Christmas sale goodness. :D

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

As I recall, their excuse for that was "the gamecube's A button is bigger".

It wouldn't be so bad if you could change the damn thing, but you can't. What a moronic mistake.

That is the very reason why I bought the ps2 version.
