I VOW TO KILL EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE MAKING OF MSR
Tinman
You see - Today I decided to play MSR again to take a break from playing Jet
Set Radio (which is the L33T3st, coolest, hipest game I may have ever
played) and to decide if I was going to keep it or not, but now I know.
I played the level I'd left it at, which was a one on one race in St. James
Park in the rain (I think anyway). I'd played the game a few times recently,
mainly levels set in Japan (due to I was playing it in the middle of the
night and you have to play it in daylight or else it's unplayable) and found
it almost enjoyable, a little unforgiving, and it was irritating that you
had to press A and watch a loading screen a million times each time you
wanted to restart a level, but Japan's so nice looking, it was quite
pleasant.
All my almost coming around to liking the game again was SHATTERED today
with this one on one race, which, playing in the best car available to me at
the time (the MR-S) was simply impossible. I practiced the track hard and
then raced it, and for 2 hours, 2 FUCKING WASTED HOURS OF MY LIFE, I raced a
computer opponent who raced a PERFECT FUCKING RACING LINE, while I, even
when driving to the absolute best of my abilities, just could not keep up.
Once the car passed me (As it would unless I got infront and drove like a
granny at all times, which isn't viable as you have to get at least 110
kudos to not fail) It was impossible to catch up, if you spun out or at any
time needed to reverse it was as well just restarting (even though each
restart took about 10 minutes while it saved, AGAIN, and then told me I
had -50 kudos, AGAIN FOR NO FUCKING REASON) In the end, even driving like a
granny, taking turns at 30, the fucking car would spin out for no reason, or
the guy would overtake and then have an instant 14 second lead, till at last
I turned off the Dreamcast, ripped out the disc and came this close to
chucking it out the fucking window. Now, I'm going to sell it on rather than
burning it in a ritualistic fashion, but I don't think I've ever, EVER hated
a game so much. Should I, one day, meet anyone from Bizzare creations, after
trying him up and ranting to him for hours as to why he is a FUCKWIT, AND A
RETARD, for making such a stupidly designed, gay, fucking piece of shit
software, I will then kill him in the most torturous fashion I can be
bothered thinking up.
So...
What should I swap it for? I think I could get a straight swap for Space
Channel 5, or Zombie Revenge, are either of them any good really? I hear SC5
is easy and short, but god, if it's at least fun...

Space Channel 5 is either too short or completely impossible, depending on
how good you are at it, but has great music and graphics. Zombie Revenge is
a bit crap, but playable in ten minute bursts.
That said, I still own both of them, which is more than can be said of MSR.

Jet Set Radio is truly one of the best games ever.

Well, I liek rythm action, so I might be alright at it.
However, I'm already far far too attracted to Cube out of Jet Set Radio (hot
polygon goth skater chick... schwing!*) so is adding another hot set of
polys to the mix really such a good idea? I swear to god I'm reaching
hardcore otaku stages. I almost never leave my house, all I do is study, or
play video games, and now I'm attracted to video game characters.
Jesus, I need a life!

It's just a beat-em-up, yeah? Like Dynamite Deka 2? (I could probably get
that if I wanted) is there anything which adds 'value' to it? extra modes,
mini games, etc?
> That said, I still own both of them, which is more than can be said of

MSR finally broke me. I refused to 'hate' it for ages being sure it was
secretly very good - however, while Japan looks nice, the rest of the game
can suck my balls, and Bizzare can DIE, SCREAMING, LIKE PIGS, WHILE I STAB A
PITCHFORK UP THEIR ASS AND IN THEIR PREGNANT WIVES.

It's the mutant offspring of Resident Evil and Double Dragon, yes.

Yes, but I was too shit to unlock them.

Very true.

The one-on-one races are far too difficult. You know you can give
yourself a huge headstart? That's how you do them.

I play guitar, badly, so it helps. Yet I can't dance, and infact, refuse to.
I've never tried those DDR machines, with good reason, I expect.

I mean, you'd think Jet Set Radio, would be, like, on the cover of 'the
face', and you'd be able to buy the soundtrack, and it would have a clothing
line (I loev Beat's T-shirt) but... Nothing. I can't express my love for
this game by buying loads of merch related to it, it sucks. Maybe Microsoft
will hype up JSR : Future.

Yay! I'll probably get that.

Indeed. Huge, fuck off 'LIFE OR DEATH' exams be damned, I resolve to go out
this weekend, and maybe drink, or something. you know, see real people,

Yes. Space Channel 5 is: impossible for the first hour.
Then, Space Channel 5 is: enthralling but piss easy for the remaining
2 hours (and then another 2 for 'Extra' mode). Up down up down SHOOT

You think you need a life? YOU? You are nothing. You are less than
nothing. First I talk about Tenchi and then you jump on the Tenchi
bandwagon and start talking about how Ayeka is really just putting on
the show of being sweet when inside she's a spoiled brat who is unable
to adjust to not getting what she wants in the presence of Ryoko who
doesn't ask and just takes (gasssssp) and think you're a hardcore
otaku afte rjust one year... but now you're fancying MY computer
generated bird!
No, really, my obsession runs far deeper. I no longer doodle tanks and
planes and snipers on my notes. I doodle Cube. Cube doing a flying
kite. Cube doing a jump. Cube vaulting a post. Cube just standing
there. Look at my webpage's sketchbook section. Half the images are of
Cube. Hell, the main image on the index page is Cube. I made myself an
artist-style 'character guide sheet' for Cube so I could ensure that I
would draw her properly. Except, I don't really need it any more
because I've drawn her so often. When I go rollerblading, I always
wear black jeans and a black t-shirt. When my wheels wear out, I'll
buy red replacement ones. 'I've got Mad Skillz' has become one of my
catchphrases. My MOTHER has commented that I always pick her when I
play, and then insinuated that I want a girlfriend like her.
Playing through the game again (to unlock more characters) is painful
because I cannot play as her (as she doesn't get the scores required
for JET rating sometimes).
THAT is psycho fanboy nerdalinger otaku-hentai obsession.

There is something about MSR... it seems like such a good idea that
you can't really believe how skanked up it is... and time dulls your
memory to the point that you only think of the good points, and decide
to have a go, and then do three laps before something impossibly
rubbish happens, or that bloody music which you endured for 8 hours to
unlock the fucking cop-out of a Peugeot 406 'reward' car will trigger
the long-suppressed memories and you'll stop playing it again.

Yes, but as I told someone else, drive from an outside view, and note
that your tiny MX5 is wider than the lanes on the road.

This was me playing the level where you race back and forth across
Westminster Bridge trying to pass 11 cars. Those levels are carefully
timed to that you will pass the 11th car (or whatever) no less than 10
inches from the finish line.

MSR (in the above situation) made me incredibly irritable. Kris, my
pudgy Gomer Pyle of a housemate, the kind of person who is incredibly
dim yet is clearly intelligent, fails to grasp simple concepts yet
still infuriates, would sit and watch. Every mistake he'd make an
annoying comment, despite when I dared him to drive he just drove into
the fucking walls immediately. I was having a heated battle with the
bloody game when he comes in, plonks his fat ass down and watches as I
get massacred by the cheating computer (if you recall, I posted how
some reviewer tested the game and proved that the computer has the
most brutal catch-up logic ever programmed, that is somehow drove 21
seconds faster in the same car when the reviewer used a cheat). I was
on the edge, and as soon as he opened his mouth I told him to shut the
fuck up. He later said if I ever said that again, he'd beat the shit
out of me. I don't blame him, and this was a guy who took abuse all
year and shrugged it off.

You have to like big band/swing/brass music with a bit of a 60's beat.
Anyway, in honour of you hating the game, here is my famous MSR CAPS
RANT OF PH33R.
Soon you'll be saying 'lovely graphics, fucking awful music except in
Tokyo, and actually quite tedious'. I'm sorry, but having to do ten
irritating races in sodding London (which has the worst track design
evarrrrr) to be GIVEN, NOT ALLOWED TO CHOOSE, BUT GIVEN WHATEVER SHITE
CAR (probably a Peugeot Fuck-Of-Shits) THE SADISTIC IDIOT PROGRAMMERS
FELT LIKE GIVING IS JUST NOT ON. Surely, much of the appeal of games
with SENSIBLE REWARD (ie: cash) systems like Gran Turismo, Sega GT,
TXR2, etc, is that you can pick a car you want and work towards it,
none of this 'Like the RX7? You can have it in 230 races, then'
BULLSHIT. Or like TOCA, where you get a lot of decent cars to pick
from, and the super-uber ones are rewards for doing well.
BUT NO. WE ARE BIZARRE CREATIONS. WE SPENT YEARS ON THIS GAME, AND
NEVER ONCE DID IT OCCUR TO US THAT THE KUDOS SYSTEM IS TOSH. HOWEVER,
IN THE YEARS (according to Edge) WE SPENT ON THE MUSIC, IT DID OCCUR
TO US THAT THE MUSIC MIGHT GET ON PEOPLE'S TITS. OF COURSE, WE DIDN'T
BOTHER CHANGING IT OR, SAY, GETTING SOME DECENT MUSIC THAT DOESN'T
SUCK ASS. HELL NO, WE LOVE THAT FUCKING IRRITATING 'BULLET IN THE GUN'
ADVERT OR THE FACT THAT EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF ALL THREE LONDON
STATIONS IS TORTURE, OR THAT FUCKING AWFUL 'MC MOMO' WILL SMITH
RIP-OFF, OR HAVING TO DO 'VELLY GOOD WESTAHN DAHNCE SHOW!' FOR THE
JAPANESE STATIONS BECAUSE WE'RE TOO SHIT TO LICENCE SOME DECENT JPOP
OR DOWNLOAD SOME OFF NAPSTER. NO, MUCH LIKE THE DJS ON THE LONDON
STATIONS (AND INDEED IN REAL LIFE) WE KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU, SON,
SO LET'S PLAY THE SAME FUCKING RUBBISH SHIT OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
(break in rant purely to allow you to not get lost in a massive
paragraph. Caught your breath? Good, then)
AND BACK TO THE LONDON CIRCUITS, IS IT ANY WONDER DRIVING IN THE
CAPTIAL IS SUCH A FUCKING NIGHTMARE IF THE ROADS ARE SO TERRIBLE? I
MEAN HALF THE BLOODY TIME YOU LOSE A RACE NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE SLOW BUT
BECAUSE SOME SODDING CONCRETE BLOCK OR KEEP-LEFT SIGN OR FENCE OR
SOMETHING THAT YOU COULDN'T BLOODY SEE AND COULDN'T HAVE ANTICIPATED
COMES FLYING AT YOU. AND RACING THROUGH ST JAMES' FUCKING PARK? WHAT
THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING WITH THAT? ESPECIALLY THAT KINK AROUND
SOME SHED THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE, AND THEN THE CUNTY AI
WILL OF COURSE BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE IT AT FULL SPEED. AND I KNOW,
LET'S MAKE IT SO LONDON GETS PROGRESSIVELY DARK UNTIL IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO SEE, AND ***THEN*** TURN ON THE FUCKING STREETLIGHTS. I MEAN, HAVE
YOU NORTHERN KNOBS EVER BEEN TO LONDON? COURSE YOU FUCKING HAVEN'T
BECAUSE IF YOU'D EVER LEFT YOUR BARN IN YORKSHIRE (or wherever) YOU'D
KNOW THAT IN CIVILIZED URBAN AREAS, STREETLIGHTS COME ON BEFORE IT
BECOMES PITCH BLACK.
(another break. gaaaaaaaasp)
BUT NO, WHY RESEARCH YOUR FUCKING FACTS? LIKE TELLING PEOPLE THAT THE
'CIRCLE LINE IS CLOSED SO TAKE THE DISTRICT LINE' WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE
SINCE THEY SHARE THE SAME FUCKING TRACKS IN ALL THE PLACES THAT THE
DISTRICT LINE COULD BE AN ALTERNATIVE, OR 'SNEAKING IN A FIELD GOAL'
IN THE 49ers GAME, EXCEPT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THEY'RE CALLED THE
49ers, OR THAT A FIELD GOAL ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST GO 'SNEAKING
IN'. HOW ABOUT THE CAR PHYSICS? WHAT THE FUCK? I UNDERSTAND THAT A
POWERFUL REAR-WHEEL DRIVE CAR LIKE THE FAIRLADY WOULD SWAP ENDS IF YOU
WENT AROUND A CORNER **WITH THE PEDAL FLOORED** BUT IT BLOODY WELL
WOULDN'T IF I JUST COASTED GENTLY ROAD, JUST BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING
RAINING. OH YES, WHY THE FUCK, WHEN I CHOOSE TO PRACTICE, DON'T I RACE
IN THE SAME FUCKING WEATHER CONDITIONS? IF I'M BEING FORCED TO RACE AN
APPALLING LONDON TRACK, AT NIGHT, IN THE FUCKING RAIN, I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO PRACTICE IT AT NIGHT AND IN THE FUCKING RAIN.
(space)
WHAT MONKEY CAME UP WITH THE CIRCUITS? THOSE LONDON ONES WHERE THEY
PUT A BIG MOTHERFUCKING WALL DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND EXPECT
YOU TO SOMEHOW KNOW YOU'RE MEANT TO DO A HANDBRAKE TURN AND THEN DRIVE
IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION DOWN A DIFFERENT LANE... FUCK OFF! OR WHEN
THEY PUT A WALL SO YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE AROUND A ROUNDABOUT ON ONE
SIDE... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? I MEAN, TOKYO HAS NARROW
STREETS AND BIG VERGES BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN SEE THEM COMING, AND THERE
AREN'T STUPID AREAS WHERE THE FUCKING SIDEWALK SUDDENLY JUMPS OUT 20
FEET (AND IS PAINTED BLACK SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT) AND THE CHALLENGES
TOO, MAN. THEY'RE FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S BAD ENOUGH BEING SET AN
IMPOSSIBLE TIME TO BEAT, BUT SURELY I CAN MAKE SOME SORT OF SACRIFICE
TO BE ABLE TO LOWER THE MINIMUM TIME/CARS PASSED LIMIT BY A BIT? YOU
KNOW, LIKE GIVE UP A JOKER TO REDUCE THE 'CARS PASSED' FROM 6 TO 5?
I'D GLADLY DO THAT, INSTEAD OF HOPING I CAN DRIVE A PERFECT RACE FOR
FOUR MINUTES, SINCE I HAVE UNCOVERED THAT YOU CUNTS DESIGNED THOSE
'PASS CARS' RACES SO THAT IT'S TIMED SO YOU PASS THE LAST ONE JUST IN
THE NICK OF TIME. I MEAN, I'VE HAD TO DISCARD ONE CAR AND START DOING
THOSE SODDING 'GET A NEW CAR CHALLENGES' JUST TO BEAT THIS LAST
FUCKING RACE OF CHAPTER 24 SO I CAN GET THE BLOODY LANCER. AND WHY DO
I HAVE TO FINISH ALL THE RACES FROM *THAT* CHAPTER? WHY NOT HAVE IT
EVERY TEN RACES, REGARDLESS OF CHAPTER, I GET A NEW CAR? OR SPEND SOME
FUCKING KUDOS (WHICH IS A LOAD OF SHIT ANYWAY) TO BUY A NEW CAR, OR AT
LEAST SOME FUCKING UPGRADES SO I CAN PASS YOUR LUDICROUS CHALLENGES,
YOU BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS.
This may have set the world's record for the LONGEST CAPS RANT ever.

Yes and it always appears that you are clumisly skating up an infinately
long stairway to nowhere, then haphazardly and randomly spraying walls for
apparently no reason!
Saying that I guess it would appear clumsy having watched glyndwr play Tony
Hawkes for hours on end!
I must thank you, Branch, however for introducing the vanishing point stunt
mode to our happy home. Where were you when 100% on each level didn't even
unlock a slide show. You cannot begin to imagine the trauma that caused!

Well, it made a change. For a week it was constant 'We got this in
Vanishing Point, we can't stop playing it' to which I would smirk,
until one day he says 'We got 100% and nothing happened! We hate the
game again' and I was half-shocked.

GT3 contributed to us waking up and realising how thoroughly bad the
normal racing in Vanishing Point is, too.

The likelihood of this is up there with me winning the lottery.
True story :
Last weekend I went out to get a pen (no, really) and I was in WH Smith's,
buying it, when I noticed that one of the lottery scratch cards had been
scratched, not completley, in it's little display box thing, and I could see
it had 3 MATCHING symbols, whatever they were, but couldn't see how much the
win was worth. So, I ask to get the scratch card, and after a bunch of
hassle in which, basically, everyone in the store is watching me get this
scratch card, they let me have it, I scratch it....
And win my pound back.
What the fuck does that say about my luck, eh??

No. For the last, uh, two months, at least, there's been almost zero reason
to leave my house, so I've hardly bothered, except to clear my head, get
some exercise on the rare occasion I feel like it. I needed to clear my
head, and I needed a pen (just a biro type pen) so went into town and got
one.

Yeah, but it was a guaranteed win anyway! And all I could get was a buck.
Oh well.

Well you won't find decent pics on my site (given they're drawn by
me).
>my stupid brother likes "mew." fool.
Why her? With her stripey pants, fur coat and revolting 1920's
hairstyle? Actually, I do know someone who looks like her (right down
to being impossibly thin) and she's not a very nice person.
Here's something to discuss: Is Piranha Professor K's
niece/daughter/underage bitch? And will the sequel suck owing to it
likely being set 'in the future'?

I hadn't played that until Abby brought it over recently. I still haven't
played it much but I can reveal this information:
THAT LOADING-SCREEN MUSIC WITH THE VOCODER VOICE CHORDS GOING "JET SET
RADIO" IS EWFUGKUGBHJEF L33T.

i really hate the standard bloke, (forget his name) with the stupid bug
eyes. i bet he'd be a cunt in real life.

all of the above.
And will the sequel suck owing to it
> likely being set 'in the future'?
no it will suck because it's on f-box.
therefore nobody will buy it (those PC type's wouldn't know a good game if
it bit them on the ass)
and sega will never release anymore JSR games because it "didn't live up to
our sales projections."
it will also be impossible to play, due to the shitty f-box controller.
hopefully sega will realize it belongs on gamecube and do a better looking
conversion:)

If you really want to do that, get a cheap TV Tuner card for about 30
quid and plug your DC into that instead.

Well of course, he wears Oakleys and says 'sup.

I DEMAND they licence the THPS2 GBA engine and adapt it into JET GRIND
RADIO ADVANCE or something.

And you've used the X-Box, have you? Idiot.

that'd be too easy:) (and the pics wouldn't be pixel perfect).

used it) be saying bad things about it if it wasn't bad? you don't year many
unbiased people bashing the GC pad.)

Of course he is. That's why he's a jet-skating rebel - he can't form
proper relationships with other people, so he needs something else to
dedicate his life to.

So instead of non picture-perfect but otherwise direct grabs, you're
going to go for the glare-ridden, washed out reflected badness of
taking pictures of the screen?

Yes, whereas Cube would be the greatest person who ever lived,
considering:
-she can aggressive rollerblade
-she's a goth
-she's little and cute
-she says things like 'mad skillz'
-she can draw really well
-she doesn't seem to be into shit music like NIN
-she could probably kick your ass at THPS2

I vehemently dispute that last point.
