Yeah, even Freelancer can't quite capture the nostalgia of Privateer for me.

The best thing about WoW is that it's so successful that everyone else will be forced to innovate or face being crushed under it's giant steel-toed boot.

The Dragonzord, while cool, was a smack in the face of dino lovers everywhere.

I should add a new item to the list:

Iansane and Mantidor fuse into a new, more powerful entity: MANTISANE! (Iandor?)
This new monstrous being rampages through downtown Tokyo, confronts a giant Donkey Kong and, depending on whether this is the American or Japanese version, either lives to fight another day or disappears beneath a bloody whirlpool in the sea.

Either way, Nintendo's Tokyo Studio is unfortunate collateral damage and SSBB gets delayed into 2008.

Chrono Trigger?


I'm not gonna say what you're not gonna like.

But I will say this: I dislike Akira Toriyama's art style with a passion.

That's actually your point, but I'll take credit for it! &P

DINOSAURS!

That word is enough to rock the earth, and my wallet. I am the proud owner of Dino Master, developed by fallen-on-hard-times once-proud-now-pitiful Taito and published in the US by Majesco, publisher of all things small and fiscally questionable! And while I play Dino Masters every Night before I go to bed...

I want more...

That is why when I saw Dino King Battle on gonintendo this morning, I was ecstatic! This will be my next foray into my childhood love of everything paleontology! Again developed by almost pathetic development house Taito, U.S. Publishers: please don't force me to import this title!

GoNintendo's translated source

Dinosaurs:
ankirosaurusu <--- Ankylosaurs are my favorite!
yutaraputoru <--- The much famed Utah-Raptor!
parasaurorohusu <--- Check out it's vicious bug-eyed rabid stare!
Tyrannosaurus <--- Hey! They got a name right!
kentorosaurusu <--- I've never seen such a pwnful Stegosaur!
torikeratopusu <--- That has got to be the kickingest Triceratops color scheme I've ever seen! Black 4tw!

Too bad it's card based... if it's actually based on REAL cards, it'll never come out stateside! /cry

Lol. Well, actually, I'm dorming in Fremont now, Devry has a Games and Simulation Bachelors Program!

Oh, and just to be clear, my views on ToS are mine and mine alone (obviously). One of my two best friends actually enjoyed the game quite a bit (he would, he actually seems to LIKE anime, yech) and he was the one always playing with me and pestering me to finish the game already. So, *sigh* diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. *shrug*

Easier said than done given their AWEFUL CHARACTERS HAVE NO PERSONALITY TO THEM.  And the games don't even offer the level of customization I demand.  Just a bunch of rendered lifeless skin-color-swapped hair-swapped MANNEQUINS (MANIKINS).


Oh, ok...ummm...

How about Rule of Rose then?

What was your reaction to Super Mario RPG's story then? Or the one in Pokémon?


Super Mario RPG was eh to me, I mean, it had a clever role reversal for Bowser, but Geno, in my opinion, threatened to overshadow Mario as a Hero (which to me was uncool), and the game didn't pretend to be more than it was (Unlike TOS, which in my oinion gives lip service to addressing racism and the-world-is-worth-saving stuff). Nevertheless, my brother was the Super Mario RPG fan, not me. I'm the Paper Mario Fan.

Pokemon as an RPG has slightly different elements. If it was a straightforward party-battle system then I'd agree that it sucked. But with the collectathon aspect to it, it actually incentivized a full exploration of its world which shifted the game's immersion focus away from a single narrative thread and instead to location based substories. And again, this game didn't flaunt itself as something more than it was, it didn't have characters going emo to each other and just miraculously working through their issues.

I have more respect for crappy/mediocre RPGs that don't pretend to be more than they are (Quest 64) than RPGs that insult my intelligence by preaching about peace and energy and all that wonderful, wonderful stuff. I eman, come on, I'm based in San Francisco, I listen to NPR, I used to live and breath socio-political issues! I want RPGs to challenge me, not make me regress to my intellectual infancy!

...I'm crazy aren't I?
