Video Games

i know, but when my freinds talk about games, they say halo1 was the good ol' days, and i'm like, what about vectorman, and teenage mutant ninja turtles.

aw i miss vectorman now but yea, there were good games back then, there are good games coming in the future. people need to learn to appreciate the greats of every generation o_O

im in no way shape or form saying they were better. but i just like knowing where they came from. and alot of times people dont seem to get that not everything neeeds to change. h2 kicks h1's ass. ff7 looks like garbage compared too ff10-2

game graphics are improving in quality, and more complex activities and actions are now capable. but there is still space for the good old games like gorilla (ne1 else remember throwing explosive bananas at each other against a pixelated skyline?) they are still classic, and despite the lack of new things to do, it can still provide hours of entertainment.

I still love Yoshi's Island that I played on my old-as-hell Super Nintendo which would delete your file if it got too hot. 2-D platformers are vastly underrated.

2D platformers are great games, and i think in some cases are far better than 3D platformers. the 3D platformers tend to have sloppy controls and bad camera placement, making the a pain to play. whreas the old 2D ones u can always see what ur doing, and u cant send ur character slightly the wrong way and kill urself. did anyone ever play a pc platformer called Jazz Jackrabbit, that game just ruled.

3d platforms engulf you in an entire world. 2d games are just fun. depends on what your looking for.

That's debatable. I've felt pretty engulfed in Yoshi's Island. It has such beatiful artwork and fun, interesting worlds, the kind that show up in your dreams. And even though Final Fantasy games have beautiful cut scenes, I've never felt engulfed throughout any of it. It's probably because the battles are so engaging. Actually, the most engaging 3D platform for me has been Dark Cloud 2. Not the best cut scenes, but stupendous backgrounds and gameplay. It's dazzling.

Dark Cloud is the most under rated RPG. even though its got blatent rip-offs all over the game, its got some highly inventive aspects. the story lines need some work though.

"I am Akba-Atatdia"

dark cloud 2 made up for one. and i always feel like im inside of the ff worlds, and part of that reason is the battles, and hey youve never finished a final fantasy! like i said, you prbably see the world in a cutsie way, i see it in a more what if way. thats probably why the out there worlds and real looking graphics pull me in.

the thing about ff games is that if you really do follow the plot line, you start to feel for the characters and what they go through. ff7 was not only emotional plot wise, but also as a gamer losing so much progress and not being able to do a damn thing about it. the world of gaming and relationships collided, tragically. sorry, i sound like a big nerd.

"I am Akba-Atatdia"

no you dont. you soud like you know what your talking about. did you cry when aeris died.

"Wht cry for those that often cry? Instead, help them smile, and smile for those that smile."

(sigh) Thanks for ruining the ending for me. (Doesn't she drown?) Anyways, yeah, I do like looking at the world through a cutsie RPG POV. Life is so much prettier and more simple that way

"If home is where the heart is, then I got evicted this week (Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains)"

i didnt cry, my friend and i sat staring at the tv in total disbelief for about five minutes. then while playing the next half hour or hour we just kept saying stuff like "no, shell come back... it was a joke... a trick or something" haha, god im depressed now.

which is remarkably similar to the way i react to a girl breaking up with me... "no, she was just joking...right?" but then after a while you just have to accept it.

"I am Akba-Atatdia"

thats wxactly what i did. but five minutse into it.... a single tear. damn that game kicks ass.
