PS2 Grand Theft Auto 3

~~Leo656~~ · 07-25-2013, 09:39 PM

Whichever WWF/E games were out, mostly, along with Wind Waker, the first TMNT game for GameCube, those were probably the most-played, but I jump around so much and play so many random things in a year, I'd never be able to remember it all. I always spent the majority of time on wrestling games, though.

*CyberCubed* · 07-25-2013, 10:39 PM

Looking back 2003 was a pretty good year for videogames. We were in the third full year of the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox cycle and developers were getting more confident in the systems architecture.

2004-2005 was the peak of that generation, but 2003 was pretty damn good too.

shell4brains · 07-26-2013, 12:17 AM

I think summer 2003 was when I got my first PS2. I was catching up on PS2 games, so anything worth while from system launch I was probably playing. Platformers have always been my forte, so I was particularly into Sly Cooper and the Theivius Raccoonus, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Ape Escape 2 (still one of my favorite franchises).

I did have a Gamecube too, so I was playing alot of Mario Kart: DD, Melee, and Mario Party 4 with my buddies. I also started playing Windwaker, Wario World, and Sonic Adventure DX, and was either still completing or replaying Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Starfox Adventures, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Animal Crossing, and Pikmin. I think alot of my time was spent on the Gamecube, to say the least.

As for GBA, I still had one of the originals. Didn't play much on it (since most of the games I either borrowed or rented from Blockbuster, and Blockbuster didn't rent GBA), but I do remember finding the DKC port for dirt cheap. Huge fan of Donkey Kong, so that was one of my most highlighted moments with the GBA (and it also happened to be in 03).

LeoNerdo · 07-26-2013, 01:08 AM

In 2003 I was 15, had a Gamecube and a PC, and hadn't got into Zelda yet. I was probably playing Rogue Squadron 2 & 3, Metroid Prime, and maybe Eternal Darkness or something. I was really into GTA Vice City too if it was out on PC yet.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-26-2013, 10:24 PM

Eternal Darkness! <3 I played that game to death. Although it unleashed some kind of bad mojo or something on me; ever since I first set the clock hands to 3:33 in the game, now every day since then, I compulsively happen to catch a glance at the time at EXACTLY 3:33, even when I have no idea what time it is and haven't looked at a clock all day. If I haven't even checked the time all day, when I finally do, it's f*cking 3:33! Every day, something "pulls" me to look at the clock when it's exactly 3:33, and I see the number constantly everywhere I go.

It's just weird. No blood-soaked maid corpses or anything like that ever show up, so far, just years and years of constantly seeing 3:33 at random for no reason. It's just that it happens so often as to be unsettling. Once in a while, it would just be a funny coincidence.

That game was great at f*cking with your mind. It was very creative and psychological. I need to play that again. Thanks for the reminder.

*CyberCubed* · 07-26-2013, 10:32 PM

Dennis Dyack has been trying to get a sequel done on Kickstarter and its failing miserably. He's basically a laughing stock of the gaming community.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-26-2013, 10:43 PM

It only didn't catch on because it was a Gamecube exclusive, if it had come out on XBox there'd be 6 of them already. I like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but I think if the world had a little less of those and a little more Eternal Darkness, the world would in some small way be a better place to live.

People just ignored it because they ignored the Gamecube, because people are stupid in general and don't know what's good for 'em. Gamecube and Eternal Darkness were both amazingly awesome and underrated.

Lol no. That's complete nonsense.

*CyberCubed* · 07-27-2013, 12:16 AM

If it were multiplatform I doubt it would sell well. In fact the only reason it stood out was because it was a mature exclusive on a Nintendo console.

I kinda miss how Gamecube had big third party exclusives like Resident Evil 1 and 0, RE4 for a time, Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Rouge Leader...etc.

More like an exaggeration, really. I do think there would have been at least a sequel and possibly a third one if the first one wasn't a GC exclusive. It was one of the highest-rated games when it came out, after all, it was just that not enough people played it and Silicon Knights take forever to do anything anyways. Nintendo keeps renewing the trademark, so I still think there will be a sequel one day.

Grimlock · 08-06-2013, 02:27 AM

Megaman & Bass for the Advance, Wind Waker, Pokémon Saphire and Simpsons hit and run.

*CyberCubed* · 08-06-2013, 09:46 PM

Heh, I think around this time in August is when F-zero GX and Soul Calibur II came out. Those two games were excellent and consisted of my summer that year.

tmnt transformer · 08-06-2013, 10:00 PM

10 Years ago.... I was just starting to become a gamer.... Sonic & Knuckles on sega genesis...

*Roland* · 08-07-2013, 04:42 AM

I think I was playing Dragonball Z Badukai , Mortal kombat Shoalin Monks and Tomb Raider 3.

DonatelloNinja82 · 08-24-2013, 07:36 PM

10 years ago I was 21. I was playing a lot of GBA games at that time. The rerelease of Dragon Quest is one that comes to mind.

*Prowler* · 08-31-2013, 01:06 PM

I was playing a lot of GCN and GBA at the time. Don't really remember which GBA games came out in 2003, though.

On the GCN I was playing F-Zero GX, Double Dash and FIFA 2004. I was also still playing Sunshine and Melee from the previous year.

Man, the GameCube had a pretty great library. It's a shame it was so overlooked. And although I've never owned or played much of the original Xbox, it certainly had a lot of overlooked games. People, however viewed it as the "Halo and Fable" console.

*CyberCubed* · 08-31-2013, 01:16 PM

The most notable GBA games in 2003 were Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire and Mario and Luigi: Superstar saga.

*Allio* · 08-31-2013, 01:18 PM

well let me think

Pokemon Ruby and Dragonball Z Budokai 2?
