Unlocking stuff with things not in the game.

[ashplosh]

Have you ever tried to get one good thing and you can't. So you look at a FAQ and the thing you want is impossible to get without some peripherals. like rare Pokémon with nintendo events this pisses me off is there similar things you hate?

Most recently for me was the friend credits in the Metroid prime trillogy.

game developers trying to milk you?

that's not new, we knew that for ages, maybe even before the big bang.
because before the big bang, came the big kabang, and that's where video games come from.

maybe I should stay with singing (and playing bass), that sentence might be a little strange.

All this PSP connectivity bullshit with the Ps3.
Six extra weapons with ACII if you connect with AC Bloodlines, shit like that.

SERIOUSLY? What kind of weapons?

yes, but i don't think they actually used that, in the end.

That, and is it really so bad for a developer to go, "You need the prequel to this game which is also an excellent title and should be relatively cheap by the time its sequel is out,"?
That's like being mad at Nintendo for making Mewtwo not being able in Gold and silver.

Still, I'm mad at the availability of the chocobo summons in FF8.
Its one thing to make it available only in a periphreal, its another to never have it in your reigon.

Well, they used it for Nuts and Bolts. And it worked great. You got Banjo on the XBLArcade, found the items in BK1, find the little ? eggs in N&B, got sweet (but not over-powered) parts.

Preorder bonuses. Imagine living in Dubai, and you don't have access to ANY of those bonuses whatsoever. Pisses me right off.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a singer/bassist.

Good thing I know better.

well that's certainly...unexpected on my part. oh well, i'll never play nuts and bolts anyway, so, for me, it's a useless bit of info. still interesting though.

It's still good. Even though its not a platformer. I liked it better than the originals for being a whole new kind of game.

Ah yes, actually strangely enough a similar event happened yesterday. My cousin had this Littlest Pet Shop Game (she's like eight, FYI), and they were having problems unlocking the giraffe. Turns out, you have to go online and find this special code. I got them the code in ten minutes, because of Yahoo! Answers.

oh no, it's not that i don't think it's a good game, it's just i don't have, nor do i feel i need an xbox360.

That puzzel in a Metal Gear game where you have to check the box the game came in.

HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!?!?!

Kicked my self when I learnt it though.

Oh, that's fine then. But if you are able to play it at a friend's house, do so. It's good fun with friends to build REALLY stupid vehicles.

If you hooked up your GBA he gave you clues, the annoying little ****.

Phantasy Star Online had a quest where you could get a rare Chao for you Chao garden in Sonic Adventure 2. You had to have a GBA and the cable that linked the Gameboy to the Gamecube which seemed like a bit too much work for one tiny Chao.
