what the constant back pains and the aching ribs isnt enough...and the hands? Actually i prefer being younger....fear my plastic swords!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #51 on:** May 11, 2003, 10:51:47 PM »

Well, I am old enough to have a real sword now... (and I do). But I assure you that every year after you hit 20 feels like another century has gone by. I'm serious. Ask any 21 year old if they feel old.

maybe to prevent that ill suck the blood of young maidens to prolong my lifespan...

I know plenty 15-year-olds with real swords. I prefer the plastic ones myself, or a good ol' fashioned cardboard tube.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #54 on:** May 12, 2003, 04:10:23 PM »

Yeah, I was just saying that to make him seem all the younger.

I occasionally stab someone with it, but I haven't killed anyone yet, so it's all good.

I keep nunchaku and a good tube around for bashing people with REALLY hard.

As for the blood of young maidens, I have tried that. It tastes and feels good, but I don't think it stops the aging.

Fear me and my nerf sword of doom! Ya....I have a real sword, but due to my size (5'4) and its size (4 feet) it is a bit on the hard side to swing it.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #56 on:** May 12, 2003, 05:44:38 PM »

Haha- you're short, manunited.

Short little Shorty McShortness. I'm only like 5'7", but that's still taller than you, Mr. Shortypants.

you fricken 6 foot caucassian bastards.

i'm *only* 5'8". But then I'm Asian, so it all makes sense. haha. I'm bordering on 18 also. In July my friends. And then it's time to club and drink to my hearts content. Not that I don't already do so. Haha.
And why are we talking about this personal crap?
This ain't a place to flaunt our egos.

EDIT: You know, I can't really say I've known an Xbox gamer who'll say what cool exclusive games there are on XBox other than Halo. It's true.

They used to talk about Panzer Dragoon Orta, but I think they all got bored with it after those first few weeks.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #60 on:** May 13, 2003, 10:34:19 AM »

I have heard a lot about Splinter Cell too, but since it's not exclusive anymore, they mostly just stick to DOA Xtreme Volleyball, and how much it rules.

rodtod · « **Reply #61 on:** May 13, 2003, 05:34:29 PM »

[lame]It's DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball![/lame]

I'm certain that if I got an Xbox and started playing that game, my social life would all but disappear.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #62 on:** May 18, 2003, 01:19:38 PM »

Halo is the only Xbox game that I really liked. PS2 has Sly Cooper, but my friend doesn't have that many PS2 games (though he did get Parappa the rapper 2, and that looks cool), so I don't know. I suppose I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but I attempt to be as reasonable as possible.

I don't have a sword, but I do collect metal pipes. I have five or six right now.

I like to be witn Nintendo since I had my first NES when I was a tad midgit, and I loved it since.

In fact so far my N64 collection is like 30+ games. My GCN collection is close to beating it. The Nintendo games are great, the perhiperals (Although as marketing gimmicks as they may be) are just plain cool. I just dont like the PS2 since I have a Playstation myself, and I dont see the whole rage. Probably because I'm not a Squaresoft fan, I'm big on platformers, and thats pretty much what I got. But its very lackluster in this area. But for some reason I like the Crash and Gex games. Call me nuts, but thats the way I am. Reason why I dont like RPG's is because its the Disney of the video game industry. Its just an overhyped love story that have characters that trade personalities from one game to the next. Not to mention the goal is pretty much the same god damn thing every time. Theres going to be a love interest thats super magical powerful and all this other crap, you are the chosen one of Bimbo country, and you need to save the world from sone guy who had crappy parents.

Yeah, I've never played any of the games, but really, did I miss a lot? I think not. Not to mention Squaresoft is one of the most overhyped companies out there.

Oh, one other thing, did Eghertz oversell Super Smash Bros. on the N64? You know, the fighting game with Final Fantasy 7 characters in it. And man, I knew that a lot of people loved Cloud and his crappy haircut with a giant kitchen knife. Or is it just that Texas sucks?

---------------
Edit: Ugh, I got off track anyway I dont like the PS2 since I think its overhyped. All I hear is just about Grand Theft Auto, and I could give a rats ass about it. And as for the X Box, Microsoft still hasnt won me over with their Windows platform, but since I have no cheap alternative, I'm stuck with this. Not to mention there hasnt been one title on the Box that appealed to me.

Ergheiz is known by all to be one of the worst games ever. No need to comment on that game. Everyone knows it sucks.

As for RPGs though, you have to understand that they were different back in the old days. In the old days, only the geeks played them, and they were much better on average than the modern day Square games. Square went right downhill though after the SNES era. They took RPGs mainstream with FF7, and then it became totally different after that. Square lost a lot of love from fans who had stayed by their side for years when their games started to suck.

If all you see is Squaresoft when you think of RPGs though, you are seriously missing out. Some of my favorite RPGs ever have been made fairly recently, and they were most certainly NOT made by Square. Sega Overworks made the AMAZING Skies of Arcadia (for GCN nonetheless), and Monolith made the fantastic Xenogears/Xenosaga games which are simply astounding.

If you will check the link to the list of games which I legally own, you will see a single exception on that list. I am a loyal Nintendo fanboy. I consider it a crime against humanity to buy a game or console from a rival of Nintendo. The single "different" game on that list is the exception I made. It was simply too good to pass up. I hated myself for doing it, but my love for the game was too strong.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that while modern day Square is SERIOUSLY overhyped, it doesn't mean that the oldschool Square is bad, or that all RPGs are bad. Hell, even some modern Square games can be enjoyable, but I recognize them more as what they could have been rather than what they are. They are a mere shadow of their former glory.

rodtod · « **Reply #65 on:** June 14, 2003, 04:14:12 PM »

Being one who hasn't played the pre-3d Final Fantasy games, I think Square's more recent additions are not that bad. With the exception of VIII, Squaresoft has yet to disappoint, for FFVII, FFIX and FFX were superior games imo. True, VII had plot holes, IX had a rather disturbing cast of characters, and X abandoned a lot of the old FF features (no navigatable airship, instead you select a destination and you're there)...but my point is for a company that's definitely at risk of taking the easy route and marketing towards casual gamers, Squaresoft (or Square-Enix I should say) still makes tough rpg games...ones that require lots of patience by the gamer.

Whoo, sorry for that off-topic post. To avoid any further tangent-making, I'll just say that I think it greatly benefited Squaresoft (financially-speaking) to leave Nintendo in the N64/PSX generation. But for Nintendo fanboys, it meant a lack of additional Mario RPGs.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #66 on:** June 14, 2003, 07:43:10 PM »

I disagree.

Final Fantasy VII was quite a good game. It lost much of the Final Fantasy feel that had existed in the pre-PSX era, but it was still a good game.

FF8 took it one step further. The game sucked. We can both agree on that.

FF9 was a good try. I will give them that. They combined the old art style with the old gameplay. The problem was that the characters were flat and insipid, and the story was more boring than Wuthering Heights.

FFX to be perfectly honest, I have not played, but I will say that it has the most god-awful voice acting ever, and any trace of Final Fantasy in the franchise has been lost with the game from what I know of it. Crystal Chronicles is more of a traditional Final Fantasy than Final Fantasy X.

Final Fantasy XI is also a disgrace. It's Japanese sales speak volumes about my own opinion of the game. It's the game I never wanted to see made come to life.

Final Fantasy Tactics was a freaking work of art.

Vagrant Story was a work of art. Square canned the development team right afterwards though IIRC.

Chrono Cross sucked ass. It was a complete disgrace to have the word Chrono in the title. The characters sucked, and the plot wasn't right. The game was decidedly mediocre.

Legend of Mana destroyed the good name of the Seiken Densetsu franchise. That game was horrible in just about ever way.

Parasite Eve was a work of art. Square made up for that one though, by making the second one positively sucktacular.

The only good things I have to say about Square right now are these:

Final Fantasy XII - Quest is making the game I hear. VERY good decision on Square's part. The Final Fantasy team can no longer be trusted to make a good game. They should just continue to make sequels to Final Fantasy X until people figure out that the franchise has been beaten to death years ago. Then they can fire everyone responsible for that disgrace.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - The old artwork, and gameplay straight out of Seiken Densetsu. This game could be very very good.

Square/Enix merger - Enix kicks ass, and they haven't lost their talent. Hopefully they can give Square a firm kick in the backside for me.

Seiken Densetsu GBA - A remake of the first game is a good step in the right direction to recover the memory of Seiken Densetsu. It forces the team to relearn what Seiken Densetsu means, and hopefully the next real sequel will be fantastic.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - A sequel to the greatest Final Fantasy Gaiden that DOESN'T suck? I am all over that.

oohhboy · « **Reply #67 on:** June 14, 2003, 11:59:50 PM »

How could you forget Front Mission 3? Great game. An excellent game not for the teen angus and somewhat sterotypical charaters. Two plots for replay value.

Previous Front Missions sucked ass. 3 is a slick package. Needs bigger battles and some what longer odds. The random spell like effects was a nice touch. I another one came out on the cube I would so get it. It would be the only Square game I would ever buy.

Love twinking those ¨uber wanzers.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #68 on:** June 15, 2003, 01:13:44 PM »

Sorry, the only Front Mission I played was Front Mission 1. It was pretty cool IMO, but it got repetitive after a while. There wasn't enough variation in the gameplay.

I should have mention SaGa too I suppose, but I never liked SaGa much, even on the GB.

rodtod · « **Reply #69 on:** June 16, 2003, 10:33:32 AM »

Lol, you're right Grey Ninja. I've just been spoiled by all the pretty FMV's.

I actually think it's high time that the videogame industry goes through a revolution or whatnot. Companies like Square, EA, they've gotten way too big to be able to go back to old philosophies in game-making. Now it's license this, license that...simply little to no creativity.

It's not just Squaresoft that needs to fire some people. It's the whole freaking industry.

...What was the original topic again?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #70 on:** June 18, 2003, 05:11:26 PM »

I'm not an RPG guy, so I have no real opinion. My two friends like them though, so I've seen almost all of the final fantasies. The 2-D ones looked good, and as for 3-D: FF7 looked good, 8 looked less good, 9 I saw nothing of, but it looked like a potential failure, 10 was pretty good, from what I saw, but there have been better, I'm sure. 11 looks horrible. I've heard nothing of 12, but Crystal Chronicles looks like it could be very good.

i really want that game, any game revolving around having too many noodles is a winner in my books , trying to find parapa the rapper 1 for N64 now

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #72 on:** June 19, 2003, 09:15:32 AM »

I've played it by now, and it is an awesome game. The noodles, the corny raps, the graphics. . . it all comes together to make this wonderful gaming experience. It's an awesome game. I'd buy a PS2 just for Sly Cooper and this game, but my friends already has one with both of them, so I'll pass. Highly recommended. And Sly Cooper, too. Miss Ruby rocks.

The game that has sold my soul to Nintendo was Super Mario Bros. 3. That was such a good game.

BTW I love this topic, the Wind Waker loyal fan quotes (yeah that was cool of Ninty), the metamorphosis and the reasons of loving Nintendo more than any other company.

Although I'm just 18 (I can't believe most of you are about my age), I see a lot of nice people around here comparing to other forums, although some of them are a little perverted (you heard me)

But I like you all nonetheless.
