Video Games: A General Discussion

*Voltron* · 04-13-2004, 05:54 PM

Alright, some threads are popping up concerning video games, and some very interesting thoughts are being made on them. I've been curious, though, about people's taste in games, and what they play for whatever reason.

I tend to play games to get away from my miserable life. It's like a sanctuary where I can kill all the people that I'm not allowed to just flat out murder in real life. For that reason, I tend to go for games with a goofy ass story where 90% of the time I'm just beating the flaming turds out of people.

What about everyone else? Any particular genre you're into?

You know why I play my games, because I have no friends.

I like RPG's, FPS's, and various action games if they don't suck. I'm very selective of my games these days, though, since money gets tight and I can't afford to buy these horrible games that have been coming out lately.

Peanut · 04-13-2004, 06:01 PM

Same here. Last game I bought waaaas..............Baulders Gate 2 for XBox. Never even got half way through cause my XBox died. I don't plan on buying anything for awhile either. I've been spending my money on DVDs and CDs lately.

*Voltron* · 04-13-2004, 06:02 PM

See I need an Xbox for Shen Mue II. Other than that, it's a paper weight.

InsaneZane · 04-13-2004, 06:03 PM

Yeah Man!
2004 hold MK6 MGS3 and Driver 3 oops i mean uh Driv3r

More like a boulder. I almost dropped that thing on my toe, and that probably would've smashed my foot.

*That Matt Guy* · 04-13-2004, 06:05 PM

I only have PC games, I'm too cheap to waste money on a system. The only systems I own are NES, Sega Genesis (I think it's broken too) and N64. Playing games for me is just simple fun.

*Voltron* · 04-13-2004, 06:06 PM

I read a news report where an X Box shielded some guy from a bullet.

Resident Evil 4, Killer 7, Nintendo DS....

*Taloniss* · 04-13-2004, 06:35 PM

Well, the last good game I bought was Ninja Gaiden for X-box. That thing just plain owned

I bought MLB 2005 today, and oh man, is it terrible. The controls don't even work properly, and they failed to give you a batting reticle so you know where you're aiming. I can't pull the ball where I want, so it's getting traded in tomorrow (stupid no return after opened poilicy)

I'm really looking forward to Spider-Man 2 (June, gonna nab that for PS2, since I'm used to it's controller for Spider-Man games) The Punisher (Fall 2K4) 100 Bullets (Fall 2K4) Halo 2 (Fall 2K4) and Doom 3 (Lord only knows) and the new GTA (Oct 19t, 4 days after my B-day

)

I've heard they're making a DBZ: Legacy of Goku 3 for GBA, so I'll grab that when it comes out as well.

I mostly play games with a) characters that interest me b) have good gameplay or c) provide much entertainment for me. I'll play pretty much any genre. I'm not big on RPG's, but I did dig Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi for GBA. I'm glad they're making a Paper Mario 2.

Hyper Metal Sonic · 04-13-2004, 06:36 PM

Actually, I don't have a Console past the Dreamcast.

And that's fine, because with the DC's freaking awesome library of games + the awesome homebrew and emulations scene, the DC will be around for years to come.

(Slightly off-topic) Is it just me, or has originality been completely missing from the videogame world for a few years now?

The real original stuff used to come out of Sega. (Typing of the Dead, Rez, Jet Set Radio, Seaman, etc.)

...Where'd it all go?

*Brodie* · 04-13-2004, 06:53 PM

I borrow my brother's X Box, because I only have a GC. But I beat Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Acadamy in like a week.

BWA HAHAHAHAHA

That's funny!

I love Action, Platformers, Puzzles (Panel de Pon is the king baby), racing (F-Zero GX/Daytona USA) and anything from Nintendo & Sega that let's me get away from this miserable world for a little while.

*goes to play Star Fox Adventures and reserve a DS*

That's why the have a "Caution: Do Not Drop On Feet" icon in the instruction manual.

*jeff the cheff* · 04-13-2004, 07:50 PM

TYPING OF THE DEAD!

That's hilarious I've played it before.

I mostly like game consoles from the 90's. I mostly play my NES, SNES, and genises. There are so many good simple games from those systems that I just love to play. I do have a PS2, and there are some good games, but I mostly stick to Dance Dance Revolution.

Oh, and heres my new belt buckle.

*Brodie* · 04-13-2004, 07:54 PM

Whered you get that?!
