Right? Who takes time to camp in one spot for half an hour just waiting at the screen for a clear headshot *sigh* a game is supposed to be played, and yes, it's a strategy that would work extremely well for a sniper IRL but come oooon if you're playing a shooter just run around and try to hit shit lol.

Tell your relative to make the freakin Sims more fun already, just installed TS4, still the same game! The graphics slightly improved but it's THE EXACT SAME GAME as TS1, TS2 whatever lol. I know it's more of a chick game (I usually told my g/f's I installed The Sims if I wanted to get rid of them for a few hours lol) but reaaaaallly. First of all, make an adult expansion, people do NOT look like barbie dolls and we do NOT "make whoopie" lol, as soon as my single mom Sim is able to become a freakin stripper It'll atleast be realistic lol.

No complaints about any other EA games at the moment :P

Smash bro's is something totally different though, it's more like, uhmm, knowing what your character can do and how to quickly use that in your advantage. I can't say I played much smash bros though, from all the games I'd say I played a total of an hour or so but my insane mad skillz of smashing buttons and running around seems to do the trick!

FF15, don't get me wrong, FF IS one of the best game series ever invented (my personal opinion) but they toooootally r*ped the concept starting at FF 12. Where's my big @ss world map I can walk around on? Where are the materia things, job skills, actual ATB fights with limit bars and all that stuff. It's like, we know people can make pretty games, put less GB's in pretty textures and make a quality game where you can freely run around and decide to go and breed chocobo's while a gigantic monster is slowly approaching Midgard lol.
FF7 is my obvious favorite, followed by 9, 6-3, 10 and 10-2 but after that? Kind of lame.
FF13, you can walk one way, listen to looooooots of people talking, for hours, literally, then finally fight a sweet @ss summon/eidolon and go "Oh yeah they brought back summons!", you win, it turns into a freakin motorcycle! WTF! lol

People have been nagging for a sequal of FF7 for yeeeaaars, what do they do, they REMASTER IT, who cares about better graphics, people liked the game, the story, not specifically the graphics. Why else would someone be asking for a remake of a game from the 90's, not because they want better graphics :P

Rant over lol, ever since squaresoft was bought by Sony and it turned into Square-Enix it kind of went down the drain IMO.
I do keep hope they will EVENTUALLY wake up and revert back to what it used to be, a JRPG.

[shithawk420]

YES!I agree 100‰about FF.BUT!This is going to be an epic storyline.it won't be like the original games.those days are over.Another great JRPG series is Wild Arms.if you never played it check it out.Also Grandia,Suikoden,I could name a bunch.Nice to see an admirer of these kind of games.FF 7 changed my life forever.However,Xenogears is the best game ever made.no exceptions.

[shithawk420]

Man when FF10 came out,I was like,what the fuck is this shit!and Then FF10-2 came out and I said fuck it.I did beat 10 and it ended up being very good.that was the last one I beat.I've beat 1 through 10.I've got the demo for 12 but meh no real interst.just got done beating tales of xilia.not bad.the Tales series is great too

[shithawk420]

To be honest,a sequel to FF7 is hardly necessary.did you know that there's a prequel on the PSP?I think its called Crisis Core.I have dirge of Cerberus for PS2 but turned it off after 10 minutes.maybe I'll play it someday.Hey just for discussion sake,which eidolon/summon is your favorite?I don't really have one but Bahamut Zero comes to mind.And who could forget Shiva and her sexy icy ass!lol

[TheMedicalStone]

Lol isn't it just sad to be able to say, and know that you're right, that the day of "those really good games is over"? Lol.

I'm seeeriously considering to learn japanese though because they still make games like that over there, they just never get released over here because the new generation gamers is just too stupid to understand what to do and just wants to play faaaabllee or shoot some shit up. No offense, I like those games as well, it's just... eh...

It's the same with RTS games, seriously, people are STILL playing Warcraft 3, Age of Empires, stuff like that because of lack of new games.
The most mentally challenging games I've seen pass by the last few years are Chess (in whatever form on whatever console lol) the Magic The Gathering games (which suck because you have to buy cards online or you'll have a tough time (if you are able to advance at all), who the hell buys cards online, buy a pack and play it with literally anyone) and whatever Dungeons and Dragons game they cough up (but the latter really has to be your cup of tea).

When FF X came out I was like "OMG OMG they're doing something with Chocobo again" when I actually got it I was like "The fuck is the world map? When am I getting to the world map?" lol.
The summons there are fairly lame aswell, Electric Horsie (Ixion), Bahamut with gears on his back looking all steampunk (the fuck, it's a dragon..), 3 retarded bee/flower sisters and don't even get me started on Blitzball! lol.
It was still fairly entertaining but I finished the game twice, I finished final fantasy 7 atleast 25 times. FF9 about 15 times and 8 roughly 10. Everything below that just a couple of times really.

Ofcourse people need a sequel for FF7, and 8 and 9 and 6 even. People actually liked those games, they all had fairly open endings and had cool shitz to do in the games. Lots of sidequests, freedom to move around etc.
Absolutely adored the chocobo breeding (eventhough limited), I liked G/F system somewhat (materia is better imo) and the treasure hunt in FF9 was funny aswell.
Never liked the card games in either 8 or 9 though, pretty much lacked imagination.

As for my favorite summon, eeehmmm. Knights of the round sucked, carbuncle (carbunckle? carbunkle? lol) was cute eventhough useless, Doomtrain was awesome, Bahamut was awesome, Diabolo looked cool, Ifrit looked cool, shiva looked a bit like a stuck up b*tch but eh it's ok lol, fat chocobo has to be the funniest summon though, choco/mog was funny in general but fat chocobo was great lol.

The ones I trained the most in FF7 where Knight of the round (Knights of round? what was it again, haven't played it for a while) and Phoenix, my fights with both ruby and emerald weapon literally took about 20 button pushes, the rest was mime, on death phoenix, counter knights of round, knights of round knights of round, mime Cid, Barrett and Clouds limit breaks and tada, you got ANOTHER GOLDEN CHOCOBO, which you obviously already got while spending 50 hours getting ready for fighting the Weapons lol.

Other great games are Breath of fire 3 and 4 (really awesome), Lufia 2 from the SNES, uhmm there was a game with djinn, I think it was golden sun but I'm not sure, on the GBA, that was great as well uhmmm, Legend of Legaia was ok-ish. Dragon Quest (right?) is ok-ish, both a bit pokemon like with the monster catching lol.
I know I can think of a few more but these are just from the top of my head.

I know FF15 will have a great story line though, a lot more mobility again as well. Lets just hope they don't completely ~!$!@# up the gameplay again because the trailer kind of looked like Mass effect meets Final Fantasy 13 lol.

Small edit: I never really played Xenogear because of the space theme, I hate space themes. I hear nothing but good about it though. Same goes for Suikoden eventhough that doesn't have a space theme I didn't like the 5000 playable characters lol.

thing is with these new ps4 games they look great but lack gameplay in single player.
most games can be completed in a few hours.i think games are made now for online gaming
anyone remember this ?...

[shithawk420]

Holy shit bro!I'm impressed!I beat all the games you listed!if you want to play the best game with the best storyline YOU HAVE TOO PLAY XENOGEARS!its a very hard game to understand.and it doesn't take place in space.you might be thinking of Xenosaga series which is the prequel.Xenogears is tough to talk about cuase I don't want to give anything away.it talks about religion, where we came from,what we really are,science physcoligy the whole nine yards.its not for everybody, don't get me fukking started on suikoden and the goddamn 108 stars of destiny!fukking character recruiting bs! just started suikoden5 on PS2 still great games though

[shithawk420]

Lmfao!ghosts and goblins was one of the hardest games I ever played.stopped playing that game when I broke my controller I got so mad.I think I still have the original nes game called tiger-heli.supposedly the company,I think maybe konami?got sued cuase it was impossible to beat.

Amen on the new Console game style Harley. Remember how they put NES and SNES zelda on a shitty little 1MB drive yet entertained us with a 90 hour+ gameplay experience? Now we put games 28000 times the size (literally) on disks and make solo games that TAKE 40 hours of gameplay of which 15 hours is people talking about shit you don't care about and 5 hours is just them showing off how well they can render some CGI. Loved it in a crappy looking game like way back in the PS1 area with cutscenes of about 30 seconds where they could show off their CGI skills but hell, I'm playing a game, not watching a movie!

I remember playing all the fables for example, fun games, had side quests, side quests horribly boring, had jobs, jobs involved hitting a button every x seconds so that got old quick, storyline itself, 3 days, done.

If I replay one of the original zelda's for example it'll still take me daaays to finish and I know exactly where everything is... and that's a game people could back up on a freaking floppy disk lol.

Plus they really don't know what people want anymore and just ignore the public. Take a platformer like Mario for example, first time I played Mario 64 I was like "uhmm where the hell is Yoshi?" lol that went on a couple more games and I pretty much gave up. I think they added him to the new games again but hey, that only took them 20 years to figure out people missed the character haha.

And I loved Ghost and Ghouls btw (Ghost and Ghouls right? I always mix that name up, everybody does), as a kid I always died at the beginning where you had to jump from platform to platform and avoid the waves of water lol, threw the controller in a corner at that point. Replayed it as an adult but never finished it tbh.

It really was an insanely frustrating game, it still is really, but then again, anything up from atari to nes and even some snes games where IMPOSSIBLE to beat. there where like 5000 different approaches to something like uhmm landing a plain but 4999 made you crash xD.

As for Xenogears, sounds great really, it's a PS1 game right? I can play that on my PSP .

[shithawk420]

Heard the ghosts and goblins/ghouls for PSP is the hardest game on PSP but that was years ago so who knows.any body play contra?I beat the original but the one on PS2 was insane.couldn't beat it.And its not that they don't know what WE want.we are the minority.its what everybody else wants and how they can make the most money.which is FPS.I heard the new Duke Nukem took 10 years to make and it sucked from what I hear.Buncha greedy incopitant bastards that only care about the money and not the real art of video games.
