The Sony Thread - Page 2

I used to complain about the lack of "quality" games on the PS2 for years. However, it wasn't until the close to the end of the console's life that I really found some great games for the system. I'm positive that at some point down the line the same thing will happen with the PS3. However, this time I'm being wise and not buying one until that time period comes.

But if anyone is looking for one, I've noticed stores are starting to have PS3 in stock.

When I was a kid I loved Crash, I loved him up until Crash Bash which as so bad not even my Crash loving self could play it. But till then I enjoy Crash games. Except the first one which was to hard for me when I was little. 3 was my favorite. Crash Warped I think it was called.

I tried played the first PS2 one and it was so bad I couldn't as well and I saw they made a sequel to the racing one*Which I liked the first one because I had never played Mario Kart before* but I passed on it and that was probably a good idea.

Didn't they have a Crash Spyro cross over game? I liked Spyro up to 3 as well. But I grew out of him like I did Crash. I see Spyro games randomly sometimes but I don't see many Crash ones anymore.

*Dr. Doom* · 01-02-2007, 04:20 PM

Spyro was good times back in the day. I believe they made crossover games wherre Spyro was in Crash's world and vice versa for GBA.

Peanut · 01-02-2007, 05:32 PM

Actually, the latest Crash game was pretty good. It had a lot of potential, but they messed it up in the late stages. Crash Twinsanity. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I was also a fan of the first Spyro game, but never anything after that. I think my sister may own the second one, but I distinctly recall not liking it as much, it's been so long though.

And yeah, they had a Spyro/Crash crossover on the GBA. It was Spyro Orange and Crash Purple or some ridiculous thing. Horrible games...but what can you expect from a 3D franchise going 2D all of a sudden?

They're in stock all over the place, but no one is buying.

*Brodie* · 01-02-2007, 06:32 PM

Thats what bothers me, if it was just a wee bit cheaper, I wouldnt mind one. Id wait for some more titles, and it'd be the first real sony system I had bought. I had a PS years ago, second hand. Hated it. Played a friends PS2...the only two games that I thought were fantastical were Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. And I was just thinking, Gex hasn't been around either, and isn't that a SOny property? Those games were hilarious.

Peanut · 01-02-2007, 07:10 PM

Crystal Dynamics developed Gex, I think. Don't hold me to that. And I'm pretty sure Eidos was the publisher? They own/owned CD didn't they? I can't quite remember, as they really never released much worthwhile anyways. I liked the original Gex on PS. All the neat little themed worlds were awesome.

They also made the Blood Omen and Soul Reaver games which I enjoyed a lot when I was a kid. The Kain series was a great one sad to see it end like it did. Wish the last game was better.

Peanut · 01-03-2007, 05:52 PM

Soul Reaver was terrific. Raziel was a total bad-ass, it's a shame he isn't still around. All the Kain crap was mediocre though.

*Brodie* · 01-03-2007, 06:07 PM

Kain was trash, Razielle was so awesome. And whats stupid is theres a company making toys based on the Lara Croft from Legend and a Hitman toy and a Kain toy...but Razielle was better than Kain...

*Spitfire* · 01-04-2007, 04:23 PM

They didn't even make a good Kain toy, they made one of him when he was old. Kain was a lot more bad ass when he was younger. I liked Blood Omen 2's story. The game play was seriously flawed, though still fun*Except the Eternal Prison I hated that*

I wonder if I can still get my hands on those games. They should have a collection out. They could probably fit the PS1 games on one disk and package it like that DMC collection.

It's ok.. I forgive u.. Yes I enjoy it.. In fact I plan to get powered up.. Mega man powered up Ihear is extremly harder than mega man hunter x and I heard htat the replay value is higher.. You got

Spoiler:

also 2 different play styles.. a new one which takes the power of the psp and the old one which is exactly like the nes verison except for the graphics.. Even the bosses do their old moves, etc.. Last of all is the great level creator, u need to spend some time in the game getting all the items to complete the level creator and be able to make a great level.. Then you can send it online.

If you are a shump fan, get gradius collection. it's so hard plus the arcade games feel more cooler than the nes and snes ports of gradius and gradius 3.. Heck we never even got gradius gaiden.

*Brodie* · 01-04-2007, 09:21 PM

Yeah, reading about Powered Up, I wanted to atleast try it. I heard you can play through the entire game as a specific bad guy. Like, playing through as Gutsman.

Peanut · 01-04-2007, 09:35 PM

So wait, you've been praising the game, yet you haven't played it?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-04-2007, 10:23 PM

OMG Got 'Em

*Brodie* · 01-05-2007, 11:56 PM

I only played brief times, and single levels. But I want to play levels as the bad guys. Like Cutsman. I HAVE played it, but not the entire game, but I did like the controls and the essential gameplay.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 01-06-2007, 02:01 AM

I only played the demo that was in mega man maverick hunter x.. Oh btw, I rented metal gear solid PO today.. It looks great.. I just started to see the beginning.. The comic-style movies look great for this game and the load times are good..

Despite the lack of voice acting during the game itself, it's not a prob. Reading text is fun..

Can anyone tell me about this GPS thing for the psp? How does it work?

Peanut · 01-06-2007, 10:15 AM

All I'll say about Mega Man Powered Up...the NES versions are superior. MMMHX is the superior version of Mega Man X however.

true.. That is why capcom left us the old style intact if u wanted to play the nes version but they used the graphic engine of hte MMPU.. Eveyrthing in old -style is left intact.. all the platforms, enemies and the bosses act the same way they did from the nes game.. even the music has been left in nes form..

Anyways,

Peanut · 01-06-2007, 03:17 PM

I know that, but it still doesn't feel the same as the old NES game. And there's something about the control too. I owned the game for like a week and beat it, so you don't need to give me lessons on what's in the game.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-06-2007, 03:24 PM

I can't get past how fugly the visual style is, so I stick to the old ones. At least they hide their ugliness in 16x16 pixels.
