[fernandito]

This thread is for anything and everything having to do with games. What are your favorites? which ones are you currently playing?

[Fall of Gilead]

Currently playing Samurai Warriors 2 Empires. It's kind of addictive.

[Matt]

We got stuck on this weird "storm the beach for WWII" game. I can't remember the name, it was pretty fun.

My 14 year old son is chomping at the bit right now to get Spider-Man 3 for the PS2. I think the kid would literally do anything for 50 bucks at this point. :cyclops:

[Rjeso]

I'm the stereotypical girl when it comes to games - I love me some RPGs most of all. FF, Kingdom Hearts, that sort of thing. However, I also like God of War, GTAs, and Bond games. (Anybody remember Slaps Only mode in, what was it? Goldeneye? OMGhilarious.) I like puzzlers, too - Myst 3: Exile drove me nuts for a while, but I got it now and am working my way through it after having owned it for five years or something. Katamari Damacy cracks me the hell up, too. I mean, really. What the hell? I ask you. Royal Rainbow, indeed.

Ooh, I dig driving games too. Midnight Racer, Gran Turismo, that sort of thing.

Oh hell yeah, little kids go crazy when they see the ads for the Spider Man 3 game. Just look at their faces while they're watching it, it feels like if they'll tear your arm off if you interrupt it.


Rjeso, what's your favorite FF? (and God of War kicks ass, btw)

[Fall of Gilead]

We got stuck on this weird "storm the beach for WWII" game. I can't remember the name, it was pretty fun.

One of the Medal of Honor games had as its very first board the beach storming battle.


Love me some RPGs also.

[fernandito]

MoH : Frontline is the one with the Omaha beach battle.

Crap, I just realized that I misspelled Firaga, may I ask a moderator to change it for me please?

[towerguard]

Final Fantasy 8 will always be the best. I actually own a gunblade...

*nerd*

There you go. :nana:

[fernandito]

I own a gunblade too. :p

Believe it or not, FF 9 is, and always will be, my favorite final fantasy. Hell, it's one of my most treasured games period.

[fernandito]

There you go. :nana:


Thank you sir. (tips hat)


I shot you another PM, did you get it?

[Hannah]

I like FF, obviously. :P Right now I'm playing FF12 (it takes me a while to finish a game like this). I'm big on zombie games as well.

[Frunobulax]

Not playing anything right now for once. I'm an old school game freak, however. The original NES brings too much happiness for me. Thank goodness for Games 4 Less here to feed my addicition.

[Matt]

Thank you sir. (tips hat)


I shot you another PM, did you get it?

I got a few today that I have not had a chance to look through, but I will respond to them tonight. :borg:

[OchrisO]

I have been playing a bit of shadowbane just because it is free. I recently retired my World of Warcraft account. Other than that, I play a lot of Guitar hero 2, and various RPGs that cross my path.

[OchrisO]

I thnk I may dig into FF12 now that school is almost over for the semester

[ZoNeSeeK]

^^^^^^^^^

http://www.finalcraft.com/ff6/bilder/ff6_148.jpg

FF3 (or 6, depending on where you are), obviously :P

..

That just made me realise how long ive had this handle for. 11 years!

[OchrisO]

FF3US is the best FF game of the series IMO.

[fernandito]

Many video game "experts" consider FF VI to be the best FF of all time.


Right now I'm spreading myself out across three video games : FF 12, Manhunt (BRUTAL game), and Dirge of Cerberus.

[Brice]

How exactly does one become a "video game expert"? :rofl:


Are they designers, or just gamers who sit around and play all day?

[fernandito]

You know, all those cocky f***s that work for EGM or Game Informer. They think that just because they write reviews for a living that they're opinion is 100% accurate.

[Brice]

Ah....self-defined "experts" :lol:

[Candice Dionysus]

I'm the stereotypical girl when it comes to games - I love me some RPGs most of all. FF, Kingdom Hearts, that sort of thing.
Oh Gods! Kingdom Hearts is like some bad fan fiction-turned-game. I mean, honestly? Disney characters mixed with FF characters mixed with original characters? Yuck. The minute I saw Goofy and Donald running around with some girly-boy and Cloud Strife I decided I hated the game. I mean, I saw the storyline, I know it, and I don't like it. Ew.

Aside from that, which is more a rant than anything (and for which I express no appologies, since its my opinion and I am entitled to it) I'm a big Final Fantasy Freak. I've got 4 (American 2, I think), and 5 (American 3, I'm pretty sure), and I had 7, 8, and 9, and now I have 12, as well. (The only ones I hate are X and X-2, which shouldn't exist, because it was supposed to be the final fantasy of that universe.)
I love the Chrono games, too. Chrono Cross, Radical Dreamers, and Chrono Trigger. Oh how I love them. <3
Also, the Mana, or Seiken Densetsu series is awesome as hell. My favorite, of course, being Legend of Mana, the unofficial 4th in the series.:wub:

Jeez, this is too big a post for me. XD I'll stop here.

[fernandito]

I personally love the KH series, and I think that whoever came up with the idea of FF and Disney coming together to form something like this not only has balls, but is a genius.


On another note, I'm about 47 hours into FFXII, and I feel like i still have a lot to go. Anybody here pass FF12 yet?

[Candice Dionysus]

Well, its your opinion. I still hate it. XD

Nah, I've only clocked 5 hours max on 12. I been playing 4/2. I actually haven't been playing at all, the past few weeks. I've been working and writing and sleeping. ^^;; I should play later.

[fernandito]

So you just started 12 , eh? The only advice I can give you is - LEVEL UP , LEVEL UP, LEVEL UP

[Candice Dionysus]

I do that anyways, hon. XD By the time I have 6 hours in on 4/2 I was at level 30. Most of the six hours was leveling. XD

[fernandito]

Excellent. I can't level up for more than 3 consecutive hours at a time, I get anxious to continue with the story/bored.

Yesterday I poured a couple of hours into Manhunt, and I got to a stage in the game where you shove a meat cleaver into an enemy's balls. Violence <3

[Candice Dionysus]

Violence = <3 to the max. But I honestly prefer it in movies. [is a horror movie girl through and through]

[sai blaine]

Final Fantasy 8 will always be the best. I actually own a gunblade...

*nerd*

:dance: :thumbsup: :rock: FF8 greatest game ever!!! :lol: i own the lionheart necklace :ninja:

At the moment and for a long time been playing FFXI veeeey addictive :lol:

[Rjeso]

Excellent. I can't level up for more than 3 consecutive hours at a time, I get anxious to continue with the story/bored.

Yesterday I poured a couple of hours into Manhunt, and I got to a stage in the game where you shove a meat cleaver into an enemy's balls. Violence <3

I'm the kind of person who has to know what's next in the story. I run through at breakneck pace until I reach some impasse, then I start a new game file and actually take time to level up.

I so would have been a pioneer back in the day. "Must...see...new..land! Now!"

[sai blaine]

:rofl: Laura, thats the samewith me. I get so invloved in some stories i dont wana stop to pfft lv :ninja:

[fernandito]

For those who've played FF8 : the junction system....yay or nay?

[Fall of Gilead]

Junction system for me was the most confusing, giant learning curve to get it right. On the other hand, I thought the X's node board was great.

Anybody play the Fatal Frame serieson PS2?? That's some scary games right there!

[fernandito]

At first I thought the junction system sucked, but as I progressed through the game I appreciated it more and more. It's also good for those obsessed with micro managing their characters.

[Candice Dionysus]

Oh my GOD!
I adored the Junction system! I had the hang of it within ten minutes! <333 It was my bitch, for reelz!!
Seriously, I adored the Junction system, I had no problem with it. Everyone always says it sucked, or it was impossible to get the hang of, or it was annoying, blah blah blah, but I really, really loved it. I mean, sure, it was slightly more complex than most equip systems, on certain levels, but that was what made me love it! I had to stop and think, but after a while I was so great with it that I started having trouble with most of the other equip systems. XD Because I played 8 for so long I forgot there was a such thing as a regular equip system. XD
And I still never beat the damned game. I really miss it. My copy of 8 went to gaming heaven when someone borrowed it and I got it back scratched to shit.
And! And someone stole my copy 7, can you believe it?? And I had Tactics, too, but someone stole that one as well. Probably the same someone. [sighs]
And my copy of Chrono Cross, which took my brother and I about a year and a half to find a copy of, also got scratched when someone who borrowed it's sister got ahold of it. I could have kill the lil' bee-yatch, because I never got to beat the game! Rawr!

[fernandito]

Yeah, I hate lending out games and then getting them back scratched beyond recognition. I let someone borrow FFIX and when I got it back it looked like if it had been used as a frisbee.

I think the easiest leveling up system for any FF game so far has been X, it's just a matter of choosing which techniques you want and select "yes".

[Candice Dionysus]

I didn't like ten. I don't know. For some reason I totally hated it. I know I hate ten-2 because there should never be a sequel to an FF game, ever, for any reason(!).
But I guess I just hated the plot and the simplicity of everything. I play four hours of it when I rented it a while back, and I never rented it again. Plus I deleted the save file when I gave it back to the video rental place.
Just not my style, I guess.

[fernandito]

No!! You have to give X a chance! I hated it at first, but then curiosity got the better of me and I ended up playing it all the way through...and I'm glad I did. There's a plot twist in that X that will make your mind implode.

[Candice Dionysus]

If I don't like the beginning of a game, I won't like the rest of it.
I don't like the characters, I don't like the gameplay, I don't like the storyline, and what I've heard of the rest of it, and I don't like the battle system.
Plus, I have absolutely no curiosity towards anything in the plot, or how it ends, or anything. I simply don't care. So, then, why would I begin to play again?
That was the main reason, I think, that I stopped playing and such. I didn't give a shit about the characters or plot. Hell, I hated the characters, never mind not caring for them!
Its just not a good game, in my opinion. I mean, thats just me.

[fernandito]

The only character that really made me grind my teeth everytime he was on screen was Wakka, I was hoping someboy thundaga-d homie until his head exploded. :)

[Candice Dionysus]

Heehee. I dunno. I hated all of them.

[Fall of Gilead]

Show some love Canny. Auron insists! :cool:

[fernandito]

Show some love Canny. Auron insists! :cool:

Amen to that brotha'. I have the Auron action figure :cool:

[Candice Dionysus]

Show some love Canny. Auron insists! :cool:
Sorry, Josh-ee. I even hate Auron.

:huglove:

[sai blaine]

Even Lulu? :unsure:

[fernandito]

Lulu was fine as hell. You think she got it on with Wakka's brother? :ninja:

[Candice Dionysus]

Yessir, even Lulu.
Although my one friend dressed up as her for Hallowe'en one year, and I do admit the outfit itself is super sexy on so many levels.
Haha. Too bad my one friend was a guy. ;)

[Hannah]

Show some love Canny. Auron insists! :cool:

Amen to that brotha'. I have the Auron action figure :cool:

:wub: Auron always made my panties a little wet.

[Candice Dionysus]

Am I really the only one here who hates pretty much everything about FFX?

[Hannah]

I bet you're not. I have a boyfriend who pretty much loathes any FF game.

[Candice Dionysus]

Yeah, but I love every other FF game aside from FFX and X-2 (and I can't say anything about XI, because I can't play it/afford to get it).

[Hannah]

Oh, well then you're just weird.

:P

[Candice Dionysus]

Haha, very funny.
No, I do feel weird, though.
I mean, I just hated X. I hated it and hated it and still hate it.
But I loved VIII, and adored VII, and didn't really mind IX, and I love IV and V (American 2 and 3?), and XII is pretty awesome (considering I've waited to get it for the last, lets say 5 years, when I saw a teaser for it in a gaming magazine!)...
But X turns me off.

[Hannah]

FFX was the first FF game I played, so I'm partial to it. But after playing FFX, then FFX-2, then FFXI, then FFXII, I can see how people may like/dislike some of the games.

[Candice Dionysus]

I started with VII. So I'm in love with that one. But VIII, oh, I adored that one so much.

[fernandito]

I think X had the best looking summons, especially Bahamut, he just kicked ass.

[Candice Dionysus]

Nothing will ever top Fat Chocobo.

http://media.arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.media/FatChocobo.jpg

Although in 4/2 the Mist Dragon was awesome, and so was Queen Asura(I think thats how its spelt).

[sai blaine]

I think X had the best looking summons, especially Bahamut, he just kicked ass.
:thumbsup:

[ZoNeSeeK]

FF3 was the only one i really played too :( dont have a console, which is probably why.

[towerguard]

FFX kicked ass. 9 was the only shitty one. 8 is my all time fav. though. I didn't understand the thought process behind FF9.
"people are sick of all the great graphics"
"So...we should make our games shitty?"
"...erm.maybe..less, umm..ermm..Spaceships?"
"yes, and then a dude with a tail"
"A stupid story about space monkeys with tails and a guy that looks like a Goth Mysterio?"
"perfect...does anyone here still know how to make SNES graphics?"

A year later they came to realize people only think they want shit, but will act suprised and dissapointed if given what they had asked them for ever since 7 came out.

My first email addy/SN was FFX based, it was "GhostofAuron" and my little nerd heart about exploded with how awesome the name was.

[Candice Dionysus]

Come on, you know Fat Chocobo owns your soul.
[giggles]

[Hannah]

Fat chocobo is cute!

Ronnie - I remember your ghostofauron email address. :lol:

[Candice Dionysus]

Fat chocobo is cute!
:huglove:

[fernandito]

I don't think FF9 is as bad as people make it out to be. Lots complain about the graphics, but to my memory, 7 and 8 weren't exactly visual feasts either (excluding the CGI cinemas of course).


Anyway, switching gears a little bit: Resident Evil fans, where you at? :cool:

[Candice Dionysus]

R.E. was good, but I like Silent Hill more, personally. XD Those games scared the shit out of me, whereas with R.E. I was more "Oh, look, zombies. Teehee."
Then again, I've been watching horror movies since I was 4 or 5, so I'm pretty much desensitized.

[Hannah]

RE4 :thumbsup:

I liked fighting with Krauser on the mini-games, personally. His bow thing was badass. And his arm! Sweet.

[fernandito]

Oh hell yeah! playing as Krauser in the mercenaries mode is the shit!

[Hannah]

Once I played as krauser everything else seemed kind of boring in comparison. :lol:

[towerguard]

Ronnie - I remember your ghostofauron email address. :lol:

It wasn't nearly as cool as your email. "Gippallick-a-4lyfe"


:evil:

[Hannah]

Gippal's hot. Even you agreed with me. You said his eyepatch made you horny.

[towerguard]

Gippal's hot. Even you agreed with me. You said his eyepatch made you horny.


:pirate: What can I say...
Now if there was some sort of game in which I could watch Gippal have his way with Rikku...:ninja:

"You, the master of unlocking!" :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Did anyone play Secret of Mana and Chronotrigger aswell? :P

[Candice Dionysus]

Did anyone play Secret of Mana and Chronotrigger aswell? :P
I love to play Legends, but I haven't played Secret since I had the rom, about four years back.
As for Chrono Trigger, I believe I've mentioned how its one of my all-time favorite games, somewhere. I have it now, and I'm playing through for the, lets say, fiftieth time? I love it beyond any amount of love any person should ever show an inanimate object. <33

[ZoNeSeeK]

hehehe :P

[fernandito]

Chrono Trigger is considered one of the best RPG's of all time, and rightfully so.

[Brice]

No, I have to agree with Brice.
I absolutely love it! ^_^
And I love Legends of Mana almost as much.

[ZoNeSeeK]

I didnt play legends, how can I get it on pc?

[Brice]

I'm not sure if you can or not. It is a great game too though.

Can someone recommend a good PS2 game that I can convince my boyfriend to play with me? I'm almost done with ff12, and I'm sick of getting the whole eyerolling "god, she's playing that game again" look from him.

Finished already? How long did it take you? I'm about 56 hours in and I just entered Giruvegan.


Have him play God of War, no man can resist digging into that game.:thumbsup:

[LadyGan]

When I played FFX, I enjoyed. When I got FFVII, I liked it more than FFX. FFVII had an AWESOME magicka and summons(I couldn't believe the summons!) and..most importantly...

SEPHIROTH!!

Try the latest installments of the Dynasty Warriors (5) or Samurai Warriors (2) games.

[fernandito]

Yee-Yaay!!! I won a bid on ebay for a copy of Castlevania: Symphony of The Night (PS1, mint condition) for only $35!!

:excited: :onfire:

[Frunobulax]

OK, I fucking love Chrono Trigger! I'm still looking for a copy, since I lost my old one when I moved.

[Frunobulax]

Yee-Yaay!!! I won a bid on ebay for a copy of Castlevania: Symphony of The Night (PS1, mint condition) for only $35!!

:excited: :onfire:
Sweet!

[Frunobulax]

I'm actually pretty excited about Starcraft 2 coming out sometime in the future. They will be releasing a Mac port, so all is good.

[fernandito]

Yee-Yaay!!! I won a bid on ebay for a copy of Castlevania: Symphony of The Night (PS1, mint condition) for only $35!!

:excited: :onfire:
Sweet!

Your damn right it is, you know how hard that game is to find? I was really trying to avoid having to get it through ebay because I have a lingering paranoia when it comes to that site, but I couldn't find it in any of the other billions places that I checked at, so I had no choice but to bid...I have to have this game :cool:

[Frunobulax]

I know how hard it is to find that game. I've looked for friends before. I never got a PS1,2,or3 for some reason. But I've played SOTN on a friend's console and loved it.

[fernandito]

I was reading a review on it once, and a guy who posted one said "I love this game more than I love my mother. That's right, I admit it" :lol:

[Frunobulax]

:lol:
I'm a Castlevania fan. Original cartridges of all three NES ones, looking for the original GameBoy ones, have Super IV, looking for Dracula X or Rondo, both N64 ones in original cartridges, and then all the GBA ones in original ones--not the reissues.

[Frunobulax]

Oh, and I forgot to mention gold cartridges for both NES Zeldas on an unrelated note.

[fernandito]

Why do people hate the Castlevania games for 64 so much? I fuckin love those games, especially in the beginning when Reinhardt makes the cross and says "Courage, don't leave me". I have that violin intro in one of my video game cd's :D

[Frunobulax]

Nice. Yeah, CV64 wasn't half bad. I got pissed off at the fucking magic nitro part, but except for that it was great. And Legacy of Darkness was actually pretty fun. The opening level was awesome, and the different version of the hedge maze was nice.

[She-Oy]

Ah finally something I can relate to. Much love for the CV games. I also am a fan of the Gauntlet games. They are easy, but fun to play with partners.

"Yellow Wizard has gained a level"

[fernandito]

Ah finally something I can relate to. Much love for the CV games.

Have you played the one's for the PS2?

[She-Oy]

Actually no, they have all been on the various Nintendo's...We have all 4 of the consoles. We have a PS2 & PS3 too, just don't play that much on them.

[Frunobulax]

I tried out the new CV's at various demo stations at game stores here. I was decidedly 'meh' about them.

[fernandito]

I'll admit that Curse of Darkness was 'meh'ish, but I think Lament of Innocence was fun as hell : lots of combos, secret items, airborne moves, kickass protagonist, it's all there. :cool:

[Frunobulax]

I forgot about Lament! That was a fun one. I played it for an hour until they asked me to stop at the store....

[fernandito]

Hell yeah , Leon gets down in that game.

[Frunobulax]

Ayuh. I need to get me some PS2 system and games.

[fernandito]

Manhunt 2 has followed in it's predecessors footsteps and got itself banned in the UK as well! :lol:

http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=117528

[Fall of Gilead]

I read that in the local paper! :D

[fernandito]

I was reading some UK message boards and some guy was ranting on about how there are worse things in the UK than that game, such as a T.V episode where random people get "slapped" by some guy's balls :lol"

[ZoNeSeeK]

YOu have to be able to find that on torrent somewhere :P

[fernandito]

Of course, you can find anything on the internet nowadays..but would you really want to look that up? :P


Anyway, my current gaming quest (FFXII) has been temporarily sidetracked due to my fucking playstation refusing to turn the fuck on. :angry:

[ZoNeSeeK]

I wondered why i wasn;t detecting the usual mega nerd waves coming from you lately :P

[fernandito]

Yes, that fucking playstation has caused a serious disturbance in the force.

[towerguard]

We have huge rolls of shrink wrap at work, and sometimes...

sometimes I slip it over my arm and pretend to be mega-man.
:cry:

I'm always old school. Represent.

[Mordred Deschain]

Was playing World of Warcraft until about a week ago when I found out what my mortgage payment is going to be.

The best thing about it, I was a hunter, with a gun, and I started a guild called Gunslingers of Gilead.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Woohoo! Got Overlord today :D

[She-Oy]

I'll tell ya, Zelda Twilight Princess is kicking my butt. Drew keeps needing help (8-years-old) so I take the controller over and start getting just as frustrated as him.
If anyone has finished it and I can ask specific questions to when I need help, it would be much appreciated...LOL

[fernandito]

I have Zelda: TP waiting for me, I still need to finish FFXII (95% though), Manhunt (80% through), and Dirge of Cerberus (25%?). Eek!

[fernandito]

Woohoo! Got Overlord today :D

I knew the title sounded familiar, I looked it up at 1up.com...this game looks fucking SICK. You got it for the PC , right? How is it?

[ZoNeSeeK]

It is very cool :) you send your minions out to destroy things, and they come back wearing pumpkins and trash on their heads. awww :)

[Darkthoughts]

Haven't played Twilight Princess yet, but I used to goto Zshrine for help with Zelda.

Wind Waker was the last Zelda game I played. I generally only play my ds now though...I'm a bit of a pokemon nerd I'm afraid :P

Edit: zshrine is down, but if you google zelda you'll probably find a zillion more sites :D

[fernandito]

Wind Waker is generally met with negative reviews, but I think its one of the better Zelda games. I actually like that cartoonish look.


Josh, how far are you in Overlord?

[Frunobulax]

I got me some SNES emulation and ROMs--nostalgia updated!

[ZoNeSeeK]

FP: havent been playing it every day, ive got 4 hives and need to kill some elf dude

[Darkthoughts]

FP - I really enjoyed WW too - I thought the graphics style was cute, and the dungeon bosses still rocked in that media.

We're hopefully getting a Wii soon - how is everyone rating Twlight Princess?

Also, what does anyone recommend PS2 wise (we just got one at the weekend) - I generally like roleplay type stuff.

[fernandito]

DT - Have you heard of Dark Cloud? It's not exactly an RPG, but it has many of the elements. If you love powering up weapons and stuff, and don't mind plugging in a few extra hours, DT is definitely the way to go. You'll love me for introducing you to it, and hate me because you wont stop playing it. :)

[Odetta]

sigh...


Spore

[Darkthoughts]

You'll love me for introducing you to it, and hate me because you wont stop playing it. :)

That makes me want to play it all the more :D

[fernandito]

You'll love it. You get to build the towns and place the buildings wherever you want to. Although if you recreate the town according to some of the characters specifications, you get extra items and weapons and stuff. :)

I was taking trash out at my crappy job and I noticed a box sitting beside the dumpster. Inside of it was a NES, NES Advantage controller, regular controllers, gun, and a big fuckton of games.


Super Mario/ Duck Hunt x 2

Super Mario 3

R. C. Pro Am

TMNT

Legend of Zelda gold cartridge

Castlevania 2

Othello

Duck Tales

Top Gun

Punch Out

Deadly Towers

Lode Runner

Little Nemo: Dream master

Batman

Pac-Man

There's also one of those PlayTV bass fishing games that you plug straight into the TV.


As it turns out, it used to belong to the nephew of a manager here and she was planning to throw it all out.

Score!

[ZoNeSeeK]

I just read that chronotrigger is big on Sony - im assuming everyone knows its a SNES game? Played it back in 1994 :) Along with Legend of Zelda aswell.

Odetta: yeah im hanging out for Spore too. Although i've found that ive become a lazy gamer. If something happens or I fuck up and have to redo a whole part i generally quit and do something else :P Overlord can be a little like that. Has anyone played it?

[fernandito]

I finally have Final Fantasy XII under my belt, after 90+ hours (side quests included) of victories and defeats and blood and sweat and tears. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Bioshock!

omfg!!

if you havent seen the ingame previews for this, go get them immediately!

Highest rated game on record.

I'm on my way to beating it soon, there is just sooooo much to do in that game.

I have the demo downloaded to my 360, but I haven't tried it yet.

[ZoNeSeeK]

It looks really cool, dark and twisted with some nice concepts. The little women that wander around syringing juices out of corpses and then drinking them are kinda sweet.

[fernandito]

Is Bioshock that Doom-esque FPS game?


Towerguard - What 'stage' are you on in FF XII?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yeah, its an fps, but with alot of range though, like deus ex or system shock. Its more of an adventure but in FPS viewpoint

[towerguard]

Towerguard - What 'stage' are you on in FF XII?

The third ascent in that lighthouse thing. That damn thing is killing me, I'm gonna have to level up or something.

[fernandito]

Yeah, I was around level 45 in that part, and I had a bit of trouble...just make sure that you're at least level 50 when you fight Gabranth in Bahamut, which follows soon after.

[towerguard]

Yeah, I was around level 45 in that part, and I had a bit of trouble...just make sure that you're at least level 50 when you fight Gabranth in Bahamut, which follows soon after.

I'm about level 48 right now. Well, at least Vaan, Ashe, Basch(sp?) are. I hardly ever use the other 3, I just call them in to use quickenings during boss fights.

That might get you in trouble in the last fight(s). The quickenings are practically uses against the last string of bosses. You should try to have at least 4 or 5 characters that are at around the same level, you may need 'substitutions'.


I love talking about this when I'm stoned. :)

Yeah, I'll end up leveling up Balthier at least, he's cool as hell.
Even if I don't beat it, I can still have some pretty sweet Lady Ashe day dreams... :wub:

I hope in the next Kingdom hearts Rikku and Ashe cross over and meet...and then..well, umm... make-out.

I have to rent Final Fantasy XII again. I have to go get Cid at Girguvagan but that was a month and a half ago. I want to finish it.

I bought Kingdom Hearts to finish it, someone stole it. Never played the second one. Is Kingdom Hearts II worthwhile?

Final Fantasy XII though is awesome. I love the new battle system and how you can see everything and how it's fully 3-d. Definitely infinitely better than the crapfest that was X. Sucks I had to wait eight years since IX for a good final fantasy game. XIII had better not disappoint.

Can a duck waddle?


[Yes]


Bigger enviroments, more support characters, more spells, the ability to wield two keyblades at once, an even harder fight against Sephiroth (I know, right?), more sidequests... I'll trust you'll do the right thing :)


And if I may pry a little - why do you hate FF X so?

I have the first KH but haven't played it yet - only recently got the PS2. Don't worry, I'm an instant obsessive fangirl of most things I get into...I'll be eating my words any day now :P...

[Mattrick]

And if I may pry a little - why do you hate FF X so?


I just didn't like it. My first final fantasy Experience was a little bit of FF8 on the PC when in 98. Then I played seven and IX when I got a playstation, then eight.

Of course, being as I the entire genre of RPG was new to me I was really looking forward to X. I was really into it at first. As the game drug on I realized how much I disliked all of the characters. IX had my favourite characters, I felt their personalities were readily-apparent and I enjoyed how you found more about them as it went. Way to much time was spent on the history of Spira. Auron made these segments boring with long, mono-toned tangents on the history of a field. Almost as bad as Tolkien.

Besides the characters being weak and lacking depth, it felt you had to play for 20-30 hours before the plot really got started. The last five-ten hours of the game were pretty decent. A lot of it felt really uninspired. The battle system was the worst of them all, the sphere system as well. I hated how if you wanted to level people up you had to switch everyone in the battle to do one thing to get EXP points. Tidus was a horrible main character. The whole 'anti-religion' angle was a little over done. Seymour wasn't the least bit intimidating.

XII really isn't much better in terms of characters (although the voice acting is leagues better) but I felt the huge advances in gameplay were great. Doing away with random battles and large 3D environments. I also enjoy the heavy political undertones in XII and how they created a whole new world without overly explaining everything (Auron) and actually letting you explore everything yourself. XII is a massive game and I highly enjoy it.

[OchrisO]

I picked up Bioshock today, but I am not even sure when I will have time to play it given all the homework I already have on the seond day of classes. :\

[Mattrick]

To anyone who has played Metal Gear Solid 2 tell me who to get past the part when Jack has no clothes and the Ninja is supposed to give it back to me. IGN guide said listen to all the codec calls and he'll come. I listened to them all over and over and over again. Guards kept getting me, couldn't find anything worth using or anything. sucks.

run upstairs and cross to the right side (your right), there should be a hallway over there with no guards. Just wait in there, Snake will show up.

[fernandito]

I'm still mad at myself for letting the Metal Gear Solid boat go on by without me.

[towerguard]

grrr....the last FF12 boss owned me with his multi-spell attacks! I barely beat his second form, thank God for Bubble.

[fernandito]

Protect + Haste = Best combination of spells ever. :)


I went to Gamepro.com a little while ago, and they have , I guess what you could call the headliners; 5 out of the 7 articles were about Bioshock, is it really that good?

[Mattrick]

What was with the last hour or so of Metal Gear Solid 2? I got about ten whole minute of gameplay and sat through endless talking. It was way too much. They could've have condensed it all to half the length and said the same amount.

[ZoNeSeeK]

FP: ive only played it a bit at work, its a STEAM game so no pirates or hacks I dont think .. not sure if im going to spend $70 on an fps when I probably need an upgrade to make full use of it. It is a pretty cool game though, great themes and concepts and lots of thinking, tactics, heaps of eyecandy etc .. not sure what the multiplayerverse will be like though, as generally thats what will make or break any FPS after a few months.

[OchrisO]

There's ways to get around steam, and Bioshock is only single player anyway, so there would probably be no issues with needing to go through steam verification for multiplayer.


It is actually quite an amazing game. I bought it for xbox 360. I have been really busy with school and haven't been able to play it as much as I'd like. My roommate bought it for PC and beat it in two days because he couldn't stop playing it. I wish the game would have had multiplayer, but it doesn't at all. The system would be interesting in multiplayer, but the game enviroment really lends itself to a single player experience.

One of the guys from Irrational Games explains why it doesn't have multiplayer here: http://www.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=14278

[Mattrick]

Online multiplayer has killed enough good games. Halo 2 was hailed as amazing BECAUSE of the online play while the game itself was obviously inferior to the original. In EGM they had a 15 page spread on Halo 3's multiplayer. I don't care! I want to know about the game itself!

[fernandito]

I saw some screen shots of this game, and I must say that the graphics and rendering look pretty f'ng amazing. I've always been a huge fan of Sci-Fi esque shooters (Duke Nukem, Turok, Doom) , and it seems that this one might be right up my alley. I'll see if I can pick this up sometime next week. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Ah, multiplayer shooters *reminisces* i played in clans for Quake, TF, CS, tribes and tribes 2 for about 5 years :P our tribes 2 clan was 2nd in the Asia/Pacific ladder, so it wasnt newbie gaming i mean. These games were all awesome and it was when multiplayer FPS games were at their peak, but due to evolving world networks the gaming communities have really changed - FPS gaming suits local communities due to the low pings you need to play smoothly, and local communities dont really exist anymore due to the availability of high speed broadband everywhere. The massive online RPGs are the big boys now and theres not much room for the FPS communities anymore, which probably need a decent 200-300 regular players in the same area to be successful. But i loved em :)

[Mattrick]

Despite me not liking Metroid Prime for the Gamecube (my only Metroid experience) I wasn't expecting much from Metroid. I can see why people love the games they were just never suited to my tastes. For one, headshots are worth nil which sucks as I always headhunt. The satisfaction of seeing an enemies head exploding is gone, big downer for me. On the Gamecube I found it annoying having to scan things and overall I just got bored with it. Didn't hold my attention longer than a few hours.

However, Metroid Corruption grasped my attention. I think the Wii controls have a lot to do it with. Scanning used to pissed me off but with a simple point it's done. I've played every shooter on the Wii and this one (not as good as RE4 so far) is good. Only an hour or so in I've at least enjoyed myself and I've heard it just gets better. However, as of now, the lack of difficulty is appauling. I watched my friend playing ahead of me and it looked harder, can't wait.

It's good so far. With Medal of Honour, RE: Umbrella Chronicles and Black (FUCKING AYE BEST SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED) coming out it's only going to get better.


Sad no NHL 08 for the Wii. The EGM people who don't like hockey games had a blast with it and is said to be the best ever. Damn.

[fernandito]

I passed Manhunt last night, the cut scene immediately following the last boss is worth the price alone. :) After I finish my re-playing of Castlevania : Symphony of The Night, I plan to pick up Twilight Princess which has been waiting for me for some time. After that, I'll be on the hunt for a new game to get addicted to.

[Storyslinger]

Twilight is an addicting game, you won't be dissapointed

[Darkthoughts]

I so want to play TP!!! Buy me a wii someone? :D

[Storyslinger]

:off the the store to buy Darkthoughts a wii:

[fernandito]

I so want to play TP!!! Buy me a wii someone? :D

You could also get it for Gamecube :P

[Darkthoughts]

Huh...whaa?? I thought they weren't doing that in the end so I didn't even bother looking!! Hoo-fucking-ray!!! :rock:

You just carry on with getting that wii though storyslinger! :P :huglove:

[Storyslinger]

:still waiting in line with Darkthoughts wii::D

[ZoNeSeeK]

Twilight .. princess? Do you have to fight the Ugly People and buy powerups from the salon like hairdye and french tips?

[Storyslinger]

AND MORE :excited: :lol:

[towerguard]

RE4 :thumbsup:

I liked fighting with Krauser on the mini-games, personally. His bow thing was badass. And his arm! Sweet.

Maybe I just suck, but this game is haaaaard. The camera angles are making me dead. :doh:

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

My favorites would have to be rpgs and shooters. Final Fantasy X is my favorite rpg, second would be Radiata Stories, and third would be Final Fantasy VII, which many of my friends has been harrassing me for the last couple years to sell to them, considering the game isn't made anymore. Favorite shooter is the original Halo. Can't stand Halo 2. DOC is another favorite, of course.

[fernandito]

I love Final Fantasy X, but I think that FF VII is severely overrated. Yeah, I said it. I think that one of the reasons 7 is so popular is because of the anime like storyline.

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

That's very true. Many of my friends didn't much care for X, said it was "too emo". But... how many spin offs does VII have? I know there's DOC, Chrono Trigger (or some game with Chrono for the first part of the name), and I think a few more. Even one for a cell phone. Besides the movie, and having the game remade for the PSP or DS one.

[fernandito]

:lol: Yeah, the mood in FFX did tend to get a bit emo at times, and the fact that Tidus frequently whined about things in an insanely annoying voice didn't help out either. But overall, I think that X had the advantage over VII as far as plot and character development are concerned.

[Mattrick]

I disagree with you on that. The plot of X was disjointed, went very slow. Parts of it dragged and other parts didn't last long enough. I thought Seymour was a horrible main villain. SIN was kind of cool. The only character I thought did any developing at all was Yuna. The rest of them may have learned a lesson or two each, but she changed the most. Tidus is the worst main character ever, even worse than Van in XII

My favourite (and I know I'm in the minority) is IX. I felt that each character in that game served it's own purpose. Each of them had strong characters all battling their own demons without going over the top. It the most most laughs, the most destructive villain and it was a perfect homage to the old games. I think that's why I enjoy XII as they share a lot of similarities; political story-lines, defined characters and designs and a mix of futuristic and medival overtones.


I think, aside from all my criticisms about the finer qualities of the game it all comes down to one thing; entertainment. FFXII and the new battle system and massive worlds to explore. FFIX blended lighted-hearted escapades with a philisophic storyline. FF8 offered a unique, realism previous games had not.

[Storyslinger]

Alomst all the FF games kicked butt, in the time they were released at leats

[fernandito]

Mattrick - Seymour wasn't the main villian, Sin was. And although I agree that Tidus was rather annoying at times, I don't think he was that bad a main character. He confronted his ghosts and in the end he did what had to be done, even if it meant killing his father in the process, don't you think that deserves some merit? :)

Oh yeah, and Final Fantasy IX is my favorite FF also. Hell, it's one of my favorite games period, I could never get tired of it. Vivi is the shit!

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

I haven't played IX yet, but I have played XI. One of my friends plays on the Bahamut server.

Yeah, but his father had turned into a freak of nature bent on destroying all of Spira. And all Auron could do was talk about a field for 20 mins.



Oh yeah, and Final Fantasy IX is my favorite FF also. Hell, it's one of my favorite games period, I could never get tired of it. Vivi is the shit!

Damn right Vivi is the shit. I'm pissed because a year or so ago I was playing through it agan when my disc three (best disc in the game) stopped working. I seen a copy at a flea market and this foreign woman was seriously selling a used greatest hits copy of the game for 80 dollars, no word of a lie. 80 dollars for an outdated game, on an outdated system that cost 30 dollars brand new one.

[OchrisO]

I went to play FFIX a while back and realized that my disc 1 was missing, so I pretty much can't play any of it at all. I guess it got lost in one of my moves. It makes me want to punch a baby in the throat.

[fernandito]

Well, shit, Auron had to say something! He only said about 3 other words the rest of the game :lol:


Try finding FFIX on Amazon.com, you can probably find it for $20 (excluding shipping and handling)

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

Just started a new file in Fable: TLC and Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Anyone play those?

[fernandito]

Nope, but I have heard of them. Fable is that game for XBox right? Some dude with blonde hair that wields a blade, right? And I think Elder Scrolls is that Medieval-ish looking game. Correct me if I'm wrong...

[Darkthoughts]

Mwahahahaaaa...3 more days till Phantom Hourglass!!!

[Odetta]

I WANT SPORE!!!!!

*throws self on floor kicking and screaming*

[Darkthoughts]

*stands back and admires the tantrum* I really want to do that to my kids sometimes - y'know, pretend to have a kiddie tantrum when they won't do as their told, it'd be hilarious :D

[fernandito]

Phantom Hourglass?

[OchrisO]

I picked up Halo 3 after hearing everyone I know talk about how awesome it is. It is a blast, even though I suck at it. I'm polkacore on xboxlive if anyone wants to add me for that or whatever else we may have in common gamewise.

[Darkthoughts]

Phantom Hourglass?

The new Zelda game for the DS, comes out Oct 1st in the States and the 19th over here:thumbsup:

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

Nope, but I have heard of them. Fable is that game for XBox right? Some dude with blonde hair that wields a blade, right? And I think Elder Scrolls is that Medieval-ish looking game. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Well, Fable is more of a pick and choose kinda game. You can be evil or good, and your appearance matches your decision. And Morrowind is a medieval sorta game. But its huge... its hard to explain.

I've always wanted to play Fable, it looks like an intriguing game. However my alliance lies with Sony and Nintendo, so :evil:

Darkthoughts - I cry your pardon (and yours Link!), I don't own a DS which means that I hardly ever read reviews on DS games, hence my ignorance.

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

I can understand. The first game I ever played was LoZ: OoT, so when my dad got an xbox I didn't really look at it until I visited a friend and saw Morrowind.

[Mike Beck]

just saw some screens from FFXIII. :o

this really excites me to no end.

[fernandito]

Mike - Have you seen the trailers and previews for FFXIII?

[Mike Beck]

:o

...not. ...yet. is it also on that 1up.com business you told me about?

[fernandito]

Yes sir. Type in Final Fantasy XIII on the search bar, and when you find it, click on media or videos.

[Mike Beck]

i'm there. gracias.

[Storyslinger]

Also there

*after watching* Wow, awesome

[Mike Beck]

holy shitballs. this game is gonna rock nards. it looks absolutely sick. :o

[Storyslinger]

seriously :o

[Mike Beck]

like, for reals and junk.

[Storyslinger]

:lol:

[fernandito]

It's going to be...different, that's for sure. Can't wait for new updates.

[Mike Beck]

different is okay. as long as its good. i wouldn't mind a slightly darker look, like VII or VIII. and i haven't really liked the characters as much as i did in those games. With the exception of Auron from X. because he's the goddamn man.

[Storyslinger]

Auron is the manhttp://www.ffcompendium.com/art/10-auron-a.jpg

[fernandito]

Hell yeah! Auron is the fucking shit! I have his action figure up on my wall overlooking my computer at home, that way I know I'm under full protection from Sin and stuff. :)

[Storyslinger]

That is good protection

[Mike Beck]

i just found out that Sin is my dad. sucks. :(

i guess it's time to head back to Zanarkand and collect on some overdue child support.

[fernandito]

:lol:

So I went for Lulu last night....she wasn't having it :(

[Storyslinger]

Come home son


http://www.rpgsite.net/images/screens/6/sin.jpg




heh, that does suck

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

I have to ask... is Tidus really that horrible? Everyone I've ever talked to about FFX says he is the worst FF charactor they've ever seen. Or at least the second worst.

[fernandito]

I don't think he was a bad character, structurally speaking. I think most people just get annoyed by him because of his constant complaining and bothersome voice. For me , the worst FF character is Yuffie from 7. There is nothing even remotely cool about her, nothing.

For all you FF fans : What is your fantasy (:p) line up? Assuming you could use 4, mine would be Squall, Auron, Vivi, and Vincent. :cool:

[Storyslinger]

Squal, Cloud, Auron, Vincent

[Mike Beck]

damn that's a good lineup.

Cloud, Squall, Auron and Vincent. Shit, i wanted to put a different list down there to be different, but I can't. that's a great group right there. if there was a fifth spot, I might put ol' Barrett in there. Or Tifa, because she kicks ass and has huge jugs.

[fernandito]

Who would have the healing duties in your team, SL? Auron would be my power guy, vivi and vincent can handling all the healing and casting, and Squall is kind of a wild card.

[Storyslinger]

I'd leave Squall to the healing, (i just love the gunblade), Auron and Cloud are power all the way, Vincent is casting, but kicks butt

[al'Lan Mandragoran]

Mine is Auron, Azul, Vincent, and (if aeons count) Bahamut. Also, I found out just yesterday that Azul is spanish for blue.

[Storyslinger]

Oh man, if we can use aeons....................*head explodes from possibilities*

[fernandito]

Yea... there's just too many to name. :lol: But Bahamut is a constant favorite. It's too bad they didn't include summoning materia in DOC...

Knights of the Round all the way.

He was an interesting character, but obviously no match for Mr. Valentine.:excited:

Also, was it just me or was the final boss in DOC a little too easy?

[Mattrick]

Cloud, Fran, Zidane, Vivi

Then again, they're from different systems etc so it's hard to tell exactly.


I loved FFIX's system the best. Problem with the other systems is that eventually (or immediately) every character can use every attack besides perhaps limit breaks. IX only had Vivi able to use black magic, only Eiko/Garnet could use summons and it made battles that much more strategic. Bring back that kind of system. Much better.
