General Gaming / RE: Halo 2 to come out this year?
« on: July 17, 2003, 07:22:18 AM »
if i remember correctly, microsoft needs a BIG online game to come out for when the first round of xbox live subscriptions run out in jan/feb of 2004.  (it will be the first time consumers have to pay for the service, beyond the $50 starter kit.)  halo 2 is most likely that game.  if not, microsoft can count on lots of gamers choosing to not renew their xbox live subscriptions.

how do i beat the first level of the factory?  i can get to the end of the level, but i don't have the key.  i'm assuming i must be missing a hidden passage, but i searched high and low and i can't find it.  i checked gamefaqs.com and there's only one guide on it and it's worthless.  any help?

Nintendo Gaming / Ikaruga Level question

To play levels in practice mode you have to beat them without using a continue.

i was under the impression that you had to beat a level without continuing on that level or any previous level in order to play it in practice mode.  am i wrong?  if i die in level 3 and then don't continue again until level 5, can i play level 4 in practice mode?

when's this game due out?  it seems to be over-shadowed by f-zero and and mkd so i haven't heard too much about it.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: New F-Zero Info. No GX and AX connectivity
« on: July 17, 2003, 07:00:54 AM »
the connectivity between gx and ax is supposedly only going to be available in japan.  arcades just aren't popular enough in the states to make it worthwhile.  i, for one, know i would never use the feature.  how many of you would?  (well, maybe i would try it once, just to see what all the fuss is about, but not on a regular basis.)

sorry folks, master chief has officially won his round 1 match.
i don't think he stands a chance against aeris though.  she's got mad skillz.

actually, zero is winning.  i wouldn't have guessed that.

5 years ago scropion would have demolished just about any takers.

another thought:  regardless of who wins, they'll (most likely) be demolished by aeris in the next round.

i'm actually really surprised felix is doing so well.  this is turning out to be more of an 'xbox vs. not' match than 'master chief vs felix'.  oh well.

Nintendo Gaming / Least Polished GCN Game
« on: July 11, 2003, 09:19:20 AM »
least polished game in my collection would have to be resident evil.

now, i'm not saying the game isn't really well done, but there are many things that i find really frustrating about this game.

the fmv's are sometimes choppy, which is really disappointing because the game was completely redone for ngc, not just a port.  hit detection also seems to be slightly off.  and my biggest complaint would have to be i find it really hard to push objects.  especially when in a hurry because a zombie is chewing at my ankles.  (example:  i found it overly-difficult to push the statue off the 2nd floor of the dining room.)


on a slightly different note, the game is probably the least polished in my collection because i tend to only play tier one games.  i just don't have enough time to waste playing spy hunter.

Nintendo Gaming / hitman 2: silent assassin
« on: July 11, 2003, 09:13:32 AM »
has anyone played this game for ngc?  i've read reviews about it online, and most sites rank it in the mid-80's, but they all mention drops in framerate as being a big problem.  does the framerate issue really detract from the enjoyment of the game, or are the sites being too critical (as they usually are in cases like these)?

you actually think felix is going to put up a fight against master chief, xbox's stand-out character agogo?

you're dreaming.  i'm not a huge fan of the xbox (counting down the days 'til halo comes out for pc), but master chief is going to demolish felix.  sorry.

i don't remember the exact site, but i remember pgc posted a link to the site when the sp first hit the streets in japan.  if you check out the news archives i'm sure you can find it.

press the z button to catch items in mid air.  it's also useful for picking up items when jumping to a level above you.

does anyone else have problems with long load times and the site timing-out, or is it just me?  maybe it's because i'm using opera....

While I'm sure fans would appreciate posters proclaiming 3:33, I'm sure mainstream America will either be uber-confused or the teens will declare it lame. I know I was stuck thinking about that whole March 33 thing for a few minutes before it clicked.

i'm still confused.  i beat the game about 6 months ago, but i must have forgotten what the 3:33 thing is.  does it have something to do with the 3 uber-baddies?

Nintendo Gaming / For those who played AoS.
« on: June 30, 2003, 07:50:11 AM »
the game took me 14 hours to beat my first time though.
(that's 14 hours of save time, probably 16-18 total play time)

i didn't use any guids/maps and i was pretty set on collecting as many souls as possible.

i can see how people could realistically get through the game in under 6 hours if they weren't going for all the souls and avoided enemies whenever possible.

Nintendo Gaming / What N64 games would you like as bonus disks for Gamecube

in reply to dr synthetic ...

GC users are totally different than PS2 users. Most of us aren't just looking for a game to play until our next game... the standard GC user seems to me to be interested in *all* good games

i honestly couldn't agree with you more.  for me, money isn't the limiting factor in the games i play...time is.  i simply do not have enough time to play all the great games that are coming out.  however, when master quest was released for free with wind waker, it was enough that i had to push another game i would have played instead off my list (probably resident evil 0, in this particular case).  thus, nintendo lost out on money.  and i'm sure that i'm not the only one this happened to.

ports of old games are merely incentives for true fans (people who buy Nintendo's product already).

if true fans are going to buy the game anyway, why do they need incentive?

Also, in response to why we'd want to play Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64... some of us were around for these games when they came out, and we appreciate and love them to this day.

i have to say, i almost resent this comment.  it seems like you're insinuating that i'm some 12 year old punk kid who wasn't around for the snes.  i'm 23 years old, i've been playing nintendo games since the original nes, and i've owned both existing versions of mario kart.  all i was saying is that with some types of games--most often sports games--when the new version gets released, the old version gets replaced.  and while i'm certainly not saying this holds true for everybody or for all games, it happens fairly often.  (example:  madden 2003 pretty much replaces madden 2002)

As for my suggestion?

the only worthwhile suggestion in the bunch was the starfox 64dd add-on.  the point of the oot/master quest bonus disc (as joshnickerson so kindly pointed out) was to get master quest into the hands of u.s. consumers.  since it was never released, we had never had the chance to play it.  if you want to play mario 64 break out your n64.

Um one simple solution for KINGVUDU's theory....    When you pre-order Mario-Kart DD, and let's say you get a bonus disk with MarioKart 64 and MarioKart SNes on it. Unlike Windwaker you don't get the game WHEN you pre-order it, you get it WHEN you purchase the rest of Mario-Kart DD. Then people will buy that "waiting" game and also have the incentive to buy Mario-Kart DD therefore increasing profits all around.

sorry, wouldn't fix the problem.  when you got finished with mario kart dd you would move onto mario kart and mario kart 64 (although why you would want to play those games when you had dd is beyond me) instead of purchasing the next new nintendo game.  they'd still be out the money.
