General Chat / This boards are TOO strict!

« on: April 29, 2003, 01:43:47 AM »

Same with me. At first I thought the rules were too strict, but I got used to them and it keeps the forum under command.

If you have no problem following the rules here, you will have no problem on any other forums.

General Gaming / Who still loves their PC over consoles and why?

« on: April 27, 2003, 04:34:42 AM »

I used to like PC over consoles.  I prefer consoles back in the 8 bit and early 16 bit days, however, in the early 1990s, I became a PC fanby mainly because the PC was technology wise ahead of consoles.  Since very early last year, I became sick of PCs due to having keep up with the technology, getting the game to work, update drivers, etc.  But the main reason was because I got sick of PCs were the FPS and RTS and a lack of innovative games.  Sure there are some innovative games, but it took me a long time to realise I missed Nintendo and SEGA's innovative games.  Most of the big games on PC are these two genres (FPS and RTS).  I can't tell you how bored to death I am of RTSs like C&C and Warcraft.  Pikmin was so refreshing to play.  And FPS, c'mon, I get bored of shooting people (especially without reason).  Last year, I only bought 3 games:  

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (okay, it a FPS, but a rare one that I liked due to the experience it threw at the player)
Freedom Force (awesome RPG and best PC game I've played.  For Freedom!)
GTA3 (I liked the freelance of the missions)

I haven't bought a PC game this year, but will get Freelancer.

So, last year, I became a console fanboy again.  Less hassle of having to buy a expensive graphics card.  Less hassle of trying to get the games to work.  I couldn't understand why Playstation was the top dog (and still don't.  And don't reason with me please.  Everyone says it's the range of games.  "Bah" I go, most people can only afford 4-5 games a year).  I was never interested in the xbox.  So I got a GameCube on launch and a second hand Dreamcast.  I felt stupid I left console gaming for almost a decade.  Better now than never.

I still play PC games, but not as much anymore...

I dare you to compete with me for the pretty boy title!

Kidding aside, yeah, I agree with you about monkey baseball.  I also don't like the fact that you can hit a lot of homeruns.  This will come as a surprise to you all, but I've barely touched SMB2 over the last couple weeks.  Just not as good as the first game.  Doesn't have the same charm and monkey love!

Talking about chicks, I want a chick who will make love with me on top of my GAMECUBE! Yeah, I mean, the top is flat and shiny, right guys?  Only if it had more surface area...

man, I'm being dirty.

Nintendo Gaming / Music in Games

« on: April 27, 2003, 03:37:21 AM »

Super Monkey Ball 2 music is not great.  Some of them are annoying.

Personally, I love game music.  Especially orchestra.

I can't believe no one mentioned Shenmue.   Shenmue I & II had some of the best music I've heard.  I've got the Shenmue Orchestra Version and Original Soundtrack.  They are fantastic.  Really beautiful Japanese/Chinese music.

I can go on and on about the music.

exactly!  that would be soooooooo cool!  but that would only happen if Factor 5 made a game in which you play for the Empire *drools*

I don't want to ruin the party, but isn't anyone sick of Factor 5 developing star wars games where you fight for the Rebel?  I want game where you fight for the Empire.  Yes, that's right.  TIE Fighter still remains one of my favourite PC games.  It was so cool being a pilot for the Empire and nothing beat having Darth Vadar as your wingman.  Nothing.  I'm bored of being one of these Rebel scums.  I wanna join the dark side once again!  It is our destiny....

Nintendo Gaming / Metal Gear GC has a name!

thanks Grey Ninja.  i read the PC version MGS2: Substance review (since I don't have a xbox or PS2), and realised the game wasn't for me.  the reviewer said it was a mess and all the good parts were done in cut-scenes (see my signature).

I've haven't played any of the MGS games, but I'm curious why fans hated Raiden so much?  Was it because he had no genitalia?

Nintendo Gaming / NINTENDO FANBOYS

« on: April 25, 2003, 07:30:39 PM »

the loyal nintendo fanbase is the reason why i believe nintendo will always be the last one standing in the console war!

and there is nothing wrong with being a fanboy, unless you make silly remarks about sony and MS.

i'm a nintendo and sega fanboy.  can't i be both?

Nintendo Gaming / The processor question thickens. (PS3 and the Cell Processor)

« on: April 25, 2003, 07:21:17 PM »

Grey Ninja is right.  the graphical leap won't be as big as you think.  sure, the graphics will look better, with models having a higher poly count, and maybe anti-alaising at 60fps (*drools*), but there's so much time and effort the developers can put into the graphics.  development cost has skyrocketed from the 8 and 16bit days.

don't expect a big leap in graphics folks.

A chick like that is rare, but it'll be well worth it. And we will breed the ULTIMATE GAMER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But, I think Shigeru Miyamoto's already done that.

good luck finding a girl who is a nintendo fanboy.  you have a better chance of turning her into one!  yeah, any girl that dates me better like monkey ball or the relationship will never work.  sad, but true!

unlocking master in monkey ball 1 is one of my aims in life.  some day, i will (i don't have the time now).  about that sega stage, you need a full proof plan.  it's not that hard.  do it in practice mode and aim at completing it 5 times in row.  it's the best way to sharpen your skill at a stage that is giving you problems and getting used to doing it under pressure.

Nintendo Gaming / Mario Kart Screens !! Exclusive !!! 100% Genuine !

« on: April 23, 2003, 02:15:26 AM »

wow.  you can have a character on your go-kart.  it looks like another player can take control of that character to fire/throw items, and punch and kick your opponent off their go-kart?  hmmm?

check out yoshi with baby mario in the second screenshot!  ha!  and i like Brower's go-kart!

i'm still trying to figure out what Miyamoto meant by saying that the screenshots would reveal what type of game it is?  maybe he meant that?

go nintendo!
