upup&away Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Final Fantasy 7, just found this at the goodwill for 5$.perfect condition to.. i picked up lost planet and have mixed reviews, story mode is ok, lots of cool boss's and it sounds amazing on the surround sound but the multiplayer is what really let me down. For some reason its way to slow paced for me. its tough to get into after playing gow online for the last 3 months. i think im trading it in today..

26SidedCube Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 ^True. The controls are a little janky and the aiming system sorta sucks. But I took that 'sucking' as being 'different' and looked at it as a challenge. I think I'm turning into an optimist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindvapors Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 FF7 for 5 bucks? Score! I picked up an NES with two controllers and Tetris for 5 bucks at a goodwill type store (Savers). Good finds at those stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I downloaded the Crackdown demo on my friend's 360 earlier tonite and I really wasn't that impressed. It reminded me of State of Emergency with better graphics, cars and bigger levels. Still not enough to hold my attention. The demo for Lost Planet was aiight, though. I haven't played State of Emergency, but I know that it is nothing like Crackdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Crackdown sounds fun. El Mam, if you like that kind of destruction type stuff, try Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. It is a really fun game. I got to play Resistance: Fall of Man on Saturday. I only played for a few minutes because I was being dragged out to a Jewish party, but I thought it kind of sucked. The horrible AI reminded me of Killzone, and the graphics don't come close to Rainbow Six or GRAW. It was definitely "run and gun" (I prefer tactical shooters) and I kept getting stuck. I need to get a PS3 by August, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LANDCLAM1 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 i am a player of original nes. does anyone know of any good information pages for some of the older games?nerd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mamerro Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Huh, I didn't even know about that Hulk game. I only knew about the movie tie-in game, whose demo I played, concluded that it sucked, and never paid attention to anything Hulk-related again. I still think Lost Planet is ill as hell. Haven't yet played it on multiplayer, but the campaign gameplay reminds me of old school shooters like Contra; just balls-out shooting action, no auto-aim or hand-holding, big-ass bosses, etc. I'm on the edge of my seat every second I'm playing that game.

Weapon X Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 This is a decent time of year. God of War, Def Jam, Rainbow Six came out recently, that Alien Homonid game is a must dl for a 360 owner... hey, it's not a bad time to play the used game gems from the past couple of years you never got to play. I wanna get back into the Sam & Max series on PC, plus Rome: Total War, then the new one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Crackdown is fucking awesome. My fear of heights actually translates into that game. I'm now 10 points away from completely mastering my agility skills (the one that allows you to jump higher) and can jump about 40 feet in the air. My explosive and brawling skills are maxed to "--". I'm sad, though, because I'm about to beat the game. I'm only playing it at the "tough" setting, the easiest one, and I will have to go back and play at a higher setting. It would be nice to have more to do than kill bad guys and do races, but it's still killer and totally worth buying. I haven't even touched multiplayer yet. XXX, you need to start loving run-and-gunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 By the way, the Havok engine seems to be the engine of choice for third-person gun games. Dead Rising, Crackdown, Lost Planet, and many more--even Oblivion uses it. It's a sick engine, and a slick engine. It seems to be pretty versatile since all those games couldn't be more different, but I do sense a bit of repitition as well. Expect to see the Unreal 3.0 engine (Epic Games) all over the place. It's already running a shitload of games, including Bio Shock, Mass Effect, Rainbox Six: Vegas, Brothers in Arms, Medal of Honor, and of course, Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War.

26SidedCube Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I haven't played State of Emergency, but I know that it is nothing like Crackdown. Unless the full version is seriously different than the demo, yes- it is. It's a stripped-down, arcade-style GTA with the ability to jump really high.

fermentor666 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 SoA does not run on the scale of Crackdown. Compared to GTA, Crackdown is only stripped down only by way of the missions, which are limited. But it's not trying to be GTA (even though the guy who made it created GTA) and it's not just about jumping really high. It is far more complex than SoA. I haven't played SoA, but I know what it is. No one here is saying it's got limitless depth, and there's nothing wrong with arcade games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Huxtable. Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 gotta love them cel-shaded graphics in crackdown. a la XIII, & okami. i think it has better graphics than Saint's Row. i can see the flaws in crackdown though. no real storyline, the controls aren't the greatest, and obviously they didn't plan on you ducking behind cover. there isn't too much strategy involved in gunfights, you can only crouch, but no real hiding behind cover, or maneuvering. maybe it's because i've played gears of war and rainbow six so that's raised my standards. basically you just power your way through and take a barrage of bullets. and 26sided is right, it is arcadey feeling. because there's no indepth story it's just "get on the street and start killing motherfuckas." which is alright by me though.

26SidedCube Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 ^Yeah man. I'm not trying to piss on anyone's parade... it just really doesn't seem that great after playing GoW and RS: Vegas for the past 6 months. Hell. I'd rather mess with Marvel Ultimate alliance- and that might as well be Gauntlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that bugs me is when you are behind anything that's even up to your waste, you'll start hitting the wall with your gun instead of firing it. Totally stupid. It only comes in handy if you're about to accidentally bazooka the wall. That and the fact that other than car races and running over dudes it seems like it's fucking impossible to get up your driving skills. I'm at 5 stars for everything but driving, where I'm stuck with 2. The game definitely has a stereotypical, basic plot, and there's not much to it, but it's fun as hell. I have to say the jumping game has a lot of depth to it. They didn't just stick a dude in a GTA level and make him jump. Boss fights, infiltrations, stat points, inventory, etc is all organized around the jumping game. And there is no other game right now that I know of that lets you jump from building to building, across the city in several minutes of jumping. I think that Ultimate Spiderman allowed for webbing across an open-world city, but I dunno. The SoA comparison is just erroneous, because in that game you are given timed levels, in small areas, and you just beat down on hordes of bad guys. Crackdown is the complete opposite of SoA in that genre. I can't guarantee that you won't be bored after a couple of weeks, but I'd say there's at least that much in the game, and I heard co-op is fun.

They're still fun, though, I'm close to buying the latest one on 360. Fuck yeah, but Gauntlet sucks because watching some nameless wizard/warrior/elf beat up goblins for hours on end is just boring. Marvel games are basically the same format, but way more fun because I know the back-story to every level, character and power in the game. It probably shouldn't but, to me, the backstory counts for something. Definitely pick up Ultimate if you haven't already. The only shitty part I've found is Arcade's level- and that's because it's glitchy as shit when you have to face the boss. edit: What's up with the forum making posts go all horizontal?

fermentor666 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The new Gauntlet games are definitely boring, but the original Gauntlet was a thrill. I really liked the X-Men Legends 2 for PS2, but never got around to finishing it because it did get a bit repetitive after a while and my girlfriend moved in with me around that time, too.
