Right now I'm playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. This game is so much fun. I'm glad Luigi didn't get the shaft and get left out like he did in Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario. Speaking of Paper Mario, I think M&L owns this game. Not only is the combat much more fun than PM's but gameplay outside of battles is also a blast. Right now my plumbers are nearly at level 20 ands I'm more than 11 hours into the game. I'm also playing Street Fighter EX+@.

[ReggieHadoken]

Bumpage.

[Million]

Sonic Heroes. Still not sure I'll ever get all chaos emeralds without having to cheat.:( This sucks because you HAVE to get all chaos emeralds to fight the true final boss.

A few years from now...Super Mario will compete against Sonic the Hedgehog at the Olympics. Yeah, there will be a game about it. Aint that some bullshit? Crazy. We're supposed to believe Mario can actually compete against Sonic in some track and field events? Sorry, not buying it. Future POSTTTTTTTTTTT! YEAH.

[OrangeCat]

Sword of Mana: Sucks ass. Leveling up in it is frustrating and most of the side quests or assignments are too abstract to really keep the flow of the game going. You have to really take your time, and I'm the type of person who does take my time.

The helper AI is postively retarded, not knowing how to avoid anything, and the menu system is agrivating at best. To switch weapons and sprits, you have to essentially pause battle for a good 5 seconds to get things straight, not to mention that every enemy is weak to a certain weapon, one of which you have to cycle through about a dozen weapons to find out which is the most effective. For boss battles, it is postively pathetic, especially when your partner has nothing useful at all to contribute, they are better off dead.

a bad game, unless you can stand a total stop and go distruption in gameplay, it's otherwise a good game.

Oh now that does suck. I hate it when developers pull that "let's make gamers collect extra crap just to fight the real final boss" garbage. As an extra mission, sure, but as the main focus? No, thanks.:lame:

Naruto Konoha Senki
I play that shit like I know Japanesse.

[Difoj]

Drakengard. I like the game when I can kill the enemies with my sword or jump on the dragon and fireball them to death, but if its just a straight dragon mission I dislike the game, but I will keep on going until its done.

I've read the manga graphic novels of Naruto vol 1-2 and they were both very good. That screen for that game looks tight. For GBA I take it? I'm guessing the odds are pretty slim we'll see a Naruto game here. :(

Holy crap!!
This game is way too intense. So fast, so beautiful, so fun.

Ugh, my brain hurts...

Counter Strike. Still mad fun, as always.

[Satsujin]

Max Payne 2 and Final Fantasy VI.

I forgot the raw fun of old FFs, so I decided to play through it again. And Max Payne 2 to play through that funhouse stage again.

Oh that game rocks! Chain combos, beautiful visuals, a sweet musical score. Too bad it ended far too soon. Only 5 levels! :( Still, the game is excellent and you play it again and again and again and again............:)

[FireisWet]

Just beat Dark Alliance 2 on Hard mode with Ysuran, the necromancer. Gonna go for it on extreme with Vhaidra the drow monk.


*SPOILER*
































I'm kinda upset at how easy Mordoc SeLenmere was, tho, after getting the spells from the necromancer's epic quest. Shadow Spray really tore him up. Hopefully, as a different char in extreme mode, he'll be a bit more difficult.

CVS2, and i'm re-learning MVC2 since i'm 99 years behind, i'm still using spiral/sent teams. GGXX because that game's just baddass.

[DrumlinerJoe]

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Great game, but I really don't care for the judge system at all. It just adds a bunch of speedbumps in the gameplay and is really irritating. Not too crazy about the way you learn skills. Other than that I love it, quality game.

[ReggieHadoken]

I mentioned earlier that I was playing SFEX+@ and I still am. Really fun fighter. Easy to get into. So far the only characters I'm really not crazy about are Allen Darun or however you spell hsi name. Dude is WAY too slow.

[ONE Weapon]

Final Fantasy IX. I still have to beat this game cuz long time ago I started to stray away from it and I erased my file.:p After this I'll be playing, yes Xenogears.

[blackadde]

FFXI and Advance Wars 2.

[ReggieHadoken]

Hey can anyone throw out some suggestions for games to play? I've got like 100+ games I haven't finished or even opened yet. :(

[Evo M]

Right now I'm playing XIII for ps2, and Sister Princess Re-Pure for GBA

I've got alot of games left to complete, but there are a few that I started and really lost interest in so I never found out if they turned out okay (like Sword of Mana, Fire Emblem, Earthworm Jim, Breath of Fire, and stuff like that)

[Flooper]

I am going on a gaming binge this weekend after a hard week of weightlifting and work.

I plan on restarting and playing through:
(In order of priority)

1)Vagrant Story:evil:
2) Resident Evil Directors Cut (yes the ps version)
3) Resident Evil 2 Demo Disk :lol:
4) Mega Man X4

Wish me luck, I have a feeling Vagrant story is gonna eat all my time.

Mega Man X4 was such a pain for me to beat. Guess I just didn't like the transition from snes to playstation. I started a "new" game of Final Fantasy 8 and I wanted to see how much I could complete of the game without a guide. Just trying to find 100% of everything and get as strong as possible. That was a year ago though, but I'm on disc 3, guess I'll dust it off and pick up where I left off Saturday.

I agree with you 100%. I hated X4 when it first came out. His sprite was too big and the game felt super cheap. The whole flow of the X series changed and it pissed me off. But I got x5 and I enjoyed that so I go the urge to go back and try to give x4 a shot. It was fun but I got annoyed at the final boss and didnt play it again. So I am going to give it another chance this time around.

[Cheap_Scrub]

Ninja Gaiden 3

I hadn't played the game when it was new but what with the Xbox release I though I'd go back and give it a shot.

It's total shit.:mad: Take everything I loved about the first game and get rid of it. Take all the things they fucked up in the second game and make 'em worse. Take the few things that are slight improvements in the second game and leave them out too.

And one of the worst fuckin things is the sound.:bluu:

Don't feel bad, look at my things to do list. Plus to make matters worse I won't allow myself to play one rpg untill I've gotten the other out of the way.

Vagrant Story- Had this game when it firs came out and still haven't finished it. I just keep putting it off.
Legend of Legai
Chrono Cross- Unopened
Final Fantasy 9- Unopened
Valkarie Profile- Unopend
Final Fantasy 10- Unopend
Final Fantasy 10-2- Un opend
Tenchu 2- Pretty far in this one. I got it when it fist came out and I have played it in like 3 years.
Kingdom hearts- Just got it a week ago and I'm at about 6 hours in.

There are a few more, but I can't remember what they are. The worst part about it is that I play Final Fantasy Tactics every single day for at least 4+ hours. What the hell is up with that.

Oh man, you don't even want to see the boxes I have that are filled with unfinished games. Tehn I have a shelf of unopend games such as:

Dragon Warror VII
Skies of Arcadia
Chu Chu Rocket
GTA Vice City
The Sims
Star Fox Adventures
Need For Speed: High Stakes
Mega Man Battle Network 2-3
Advance Wars

Oh man. I am soooooo behind on my gaming. I also don't work on more than one RPG at once either. Its just too draining for me.

[OmNiExiZt]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about my vice city. I got it when it first came out and the only reason it got any playtime is because a friend of minds fired it up. We took turns playing it at that time. I did like one mission, fooled around with the cars, killed a few inocent people and haven't played it since. I then let him borrow it and he finished it like in a week or to. But you want to here the bad thing about our situation. We've got the nerve to sit around when we're bored complaing about we have nothing to do. Oh there's plenty to do allright, how about playing one of those damn games. BTW I do plan on getting a GBASP with pokemon sapphire and Pokemon Coliseum. Will I play it for more than an hour? Who knows, but at least I'll have it.:D Right now it's just April and I have every intention of finishing up all those games before the year is out. I have to admit that I plan on using a game shark to be Vagrant Story because its too damn complicated mixing wepon parts and the game is difficult as fuck. This will be one of the first games that I have to cheat to beat. Oh well. Maybe if we didn't waste so much time on SRK we'd actually get some games done. I still haven't played Devil May Cry or any of the Omnimusha series and I want to really bad. I just got Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia and Residen Evil ZERO. I played Prince of Persia for about 15 min. I enjoyed it what little time I did play it. Put it on the back burner like I do all the other games and my friend who's at my house now is like 6 hours into it. I don't mind though, as far as I can see I'm playing the game through him. Oh, did I mention that I still haven't beaten Wind Waker yet?

*ONEZ*

[oORYUOo]

all types of fighting games
Halo
Breath of Fire III
Splinter Cell

Probably play halo on xbconnect the most. The regular game is great. I still cant believe they delayed part 2 till fall...bastards.

BoFIII is hella fun. splicing genes to make different types of dragons is a challenge sometimes, but i dont have many genes yet. i saw what my friend was making, and all i have to say is: :eek:

i'm still on the first level of splinter cell, havent gotten a chance to play much. i did play pandora tommorow though. playing online with this game is fun too.

[ReggieHadoken]

If I keep playing EX+@ tonight and I can probably finish it with the rest of the fighters. Then I'll check out the other modes.

(Thinks about starting Splinter Cell)

I tried to warn you guys...I played it on emulator before making a judgement, and God, am I glad I didn't blow 40 bucks on that crap. Any RPG where the final boss dies in 30 seconds without ANY special weapons or training is worthless. :wtf: And the ending wasn't too hot, either.

So in case nobody got the memo...

DON'T BUY SWORD OF MANA. IT SUCKS.

Thank you.

Playing P.N.03, and honestly it's a highly under rated game. It's a lot of fun, great graphics, chick's ass bouncing all over the place, not highly challenging...until you get to Level 9. It's a bit repetitive but it's a really fun game to play.

[fatherbrain]

On MMX4, the final boss is actually not too hard at all. espically with Zero. Use flame on the first part, and you'll whip his ass. With X himself, charge up flame and hit him one good time and he dies. Second part, use electricity, and third part, take tyour time. Ground Hunter helps a lot there.


And on Ex+ Alpha, I'm stuck on Bisons last expert mode one and one other. all the others I've done.

The fact that the final boss was Sigma YET A FUCKING AGAIN was what really broke the broke the final straw. God how I am sick of his ugly ass. Could they really not come up with something a lil more creative than a pansy with a light sabre that jumps wall to wall in every game. Okay, maybe not every game, but it sure feels like it. Now with this new direction the X series is going in, Capcom has begun hammering in the final nail for Mega Man. Owell.

You know, I always found it strange that Mega Man's fought Sigma in almost every single sequal. Doesn't he have someone else to kill?

Possible spoilers (so I'll color it the way you did):

the "true" Kaiser (that still is controllable) is obtained with Infinity+Radiance+Trance. It's not as powerful as the much cheaper Myrmidon (Warrior+Trance, I think), IMO.

What I'm playing right now:

SSBM: I have three other people I play this with at least once a week or so. Still fun to this day.

Sacred: An awesome PC RPG, especially since you can edit the censored US version to have all the gore of the original UK version. The character class list includes some real unique gems, like the Seraphim and Vampiress. I still love the Battle Mage, though; powerful attacks, decent sword/staff attacking skills, and he can heal himself; he's like a male Lina Inverse.

Diablo 2 LoD: I play this off and on, but have been losing interest lately.

Sonic Heroes: Finished it a long time ago, but trying to get all A-rank. I don't know if I'll ever reach that goal, though...

[GUNZ]

Dam im suprised I have barely seen anybody talk about war games. I mean shit if anybody is looking for a serious challenge play Operation Flashpoint for computer. That shit is serious. Its not the most fun game unless you have a really good computer. I mean really good, but some of the player made mods rival anything thats out there right now and some of it is years ahead of its time. Even if you have a super quick connection it takes hours to download the extras from sites all over the world but in itself its pretty much a completely adaptable and infinitely expandable game and caters to all personalites unless your the type of person who needs little japanese cartoons jabbing at your eyes. Personally I prefer being in the middle of large scale battles with thousands of infantry, rockets, mines, tanks, atomic bombs, planes and basically every friggin weapon thats made made in the past 50 or so years by almost every country. If the only reason you dont play FPS is because you dont want to be trendy, then play this game. Thousands of dollars in computer upgrades is preffered though. The best part is that it is a very international game online where you can play people in japan using japanese weapons against people in europe using all those crazy euro weapons and you can be the big loud american who flies around in his helicopter and blows them all up. Badass shit.

[X-Death]

BoF III is sooooooo great. I never beat it, I think I gave up at that desert bullshit near the end.

Lately I've been playing Shenmue II, my latest custom MvC2, and a little Disgaea for levelling up fixes. I've been pretty random these days when it comes to sticking to a game.

True that, I thought Iris should've been the final boss, for X or Zero. They both could've killed Colonel's candy ass, she'd still go nuts...you get the picture. Plus, nothing would've been more satisfying than a plasma beam to that bitch's head...:lol:

Yeah...BOF 3 owns. But, as my screenname implies, it's no BOF 4, which = the truth.

[ViciousSLASH]

I'm playing Champions of Norrath. It's a great game , but some of the bugs lurking within it's depths can be a HUGE FRUSTRAITION.

I've had to restart the game a couple of time because of randomly teleporting npc dwarves , stupid unopenable doors , and retarded ass shopkeepers thinking two items were one.

A very Solid RPG hack and slash adventure , finding new armor and getting my Cleric ( with teh TITTAHS ) better is like crack at times.

I want to play it online and posse up , too bad I can't use a network adaptor.

I got FF: CC the other day and stopped playing it after about 5 minutes. What the hell is Nintendo on ?, where can I get it ?, and why did Square take some ? I'll go into detail if anyone wants to know.

I'm playing FFVII right now. I really want to see what the big fuss is about with FFVII and how it's mostly everyone's favorite FF. FFX and FFX-2 were my first two FF's but I can't get into FFVII for some reason. Compared to the battle system of FFX-2, FFVII just seems too slow for me.

I really need to finish Devil may cry, stupid beta weapon or whatever...And I need to start a new game in Parasite eve, I got stuck at the last boss...

All this talk of BOF 3...makes me want to get it again...That game was pretty hard, and oldskool, it was satisfying, and the dragon transformation was cool...

I also sort of wish I had my Dragon warrior 7...It really wasnt great, but It would have been a nice "pride" title under my belt...

i regret trading in my DW7 too :(

i usually focus on one game at a time, right now it's lineage II (mmorpg). now in open beta, anyone can sign up (but not necessarily sign on :/ ) for free. graphics rule, engine is polished and code well optimized so it runs very smoothly. great game in the same vein FFXI, only not sucky.

Yeah, I got stuck on the T-rex boss. And that's right at the end too. Stupid Triceratops boss sucked up all my grenades.:mad: I was looking for that game earlier today, cause I'm gonna start a new game in it myself. Parasite Eve is a superb game. Like someone on here said before, opera music never sounded so good.:D

[ReggieHadoken]

MMX4 is one of my fav X games. Sigma was tough for me to beat both as X and Zero, but all those times I kept trying paid off and I finished the game with both of them. Then a few years ago I went through the game as Zero and beat it in a matter of hours. Oh and about Sigma. Sigma is basically the Wily of the X games. No matter how many times you smack him up, he just keeps coming back. I knew right from the start when I saw a reploid talking to a "mysterious" maverick in a clock that I'd be tangling with Sigma AGAIN.

And about BOFIII, yes, that game rocks. I loved gene splicing to creat different dragons and the animation for transformations was tight. The music was also quite good. I wouldn't mind having the soundtrack.:) If there was anything about the game I hated it was that dumb "Desert of Death" puzzle. Man, I think it took me DAYS to get past that.:mad:

I worked my way through EX+@ with Dhalism today but got my butt kicked when I played Arcade mode with Sakura but got school. I think Sakura's being short really hurts her in this game, or at least it does for me. I mean, she's still one of my fav fighters just as she was in the 2D SF games but I may have to be even more agreesive with her if I want to make it through arcade mode with her.:eek:

well now its the weekend, and summer will be here soon, so -should- have nothing to do and have all my free time to complete them :D

as for wasting a small fortune, alot of them are bought bare cart only, no box or anything, used (which is usually alot cheaper) and Pockemon Ruby and Bomberman Jetters are ROMs anyways.

as for the ps2 games, they were all bought used or just burned.

now that i think about it I hardly ever buy games new (the exceptions being Onimusha 3 & FF Crystal Chronicles) :confused:

[Million]

I'm really behind on things here...
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker --STILL on the first castle level where Link must find his sword.
True Crime - still just on the first mission where you can do what you want. I stopped here, because it's just too fun to cruise around doing random shit to innocent people, and stopping random crimes.

Prince of Persia--didn't get far...I think I left off where Prince meets that hot broad for the first time, and is chasing after her...

Ikaruga --don't think I'll EVER beat it. I don't care what anyone says about "hardcore", the developers went overboard on this shit. I don't remember games ever being this hard at all. Even Ninja Gaiden 1....NG was only borderline impossible because of one jump situation.

Phantasy Star Online --only because it can never truly be completed. At least...not the legit way:p Even cheating doesn't kill the experience...at least not for me. I'll pick up an Action Replay soon for even more fun...actually, there's no telling how long this game will last...especially since a few people actually set up their own servers! (yep...that means Dreamcast PSO has been resurrected!!!LOLLLL this thread is old as hell.)

Hitman 2-- never got past the first mission. It's a great game; I just have too many other games, and not enough time for them all. I forgot I even had this game.
-------------------
and tons of Xbox games...cuz I don't have Xbox yet. I hear rumor of a price drop around e3...perhaps that will be my time...

[Evo M]

I don't think you should wait to buy one (xbox) cos I heard the next batch won't have a hard drive. What the fuck?

[Million]

that's crap...it can't be true:mad:

I remember I had one for 1 day. That's kind of a long-winded story that ends with me being extremely pissed off, and forever avoiding a certain "friend".

--on a sidenote...it sucks that I will just end up using an Action Replay(bought for PSO) to get to fight the true last boss of Sonic Heroes. They really made the process of getting the emeralds too damn frustrating. I have 4 out of the 7, and I'm sure that 7th one (*I have the 1st three, and the last one)was pure luck. Beating the game with all 4 teams should be enough to face the real last boss....not actual collection of the emeralds.

Still, I gotta rank Sonic Adventure 2 as the toughest Sonic game ever made. Those item hunt stages just made me want to smash something all the time. Knuckles' under water stage was the worst of all, and I didn't even know about his underwater breathing powerup until AFTER I miraculously made it through.
I ended up smashing the SA2 game disc with a hammer one day.(due to unbelievable cheating from the final boss though...not item hunt)

[Evo M]

I remember i heard it from X-Play so who the fuck knows :confused:

[ReggieHadoken]

Woo hoo! I'm finally done with EX+@, beating Arcade mode with all the fighters, even the four hidden fighters (used a code to unlock them). The Clcliod fighters are an interesting pair. Beta is my fav of the two. Seems to be a combination of Ryu/Ken and some other fighters. I'm glad I finally finshed the game with all fighters, but I really did enjoy my time with EX+@. Wish me luck on finding a copy of EX2+.

I'm still working on Mario & Luigi but I haven't played it in days. Was too occupoed with EX+@. Enemies are finally give me 30+ EXP and good cash so saving money isn't a problem for me anymore.

I need another game to play. I thought about playing KOF '99 or Splinter Cell. Or maybe something else. Decisions, decisions.:bluu:

[ReggieHadoken]

Bumpage.

I'm going through the missions in GGXX right now. 37 down, 13 to go :D. Once I get home after work I think I shall continue my game in Vandal Hearts 2.

Ever since I started my very own Megaman discussion thread, and ppl like The Damned, Remy Saotome and fishje was there alot, the Megaman fan I once was half a decade ago had made a big comeback.
After 3 months, I finally beat Rockman and Forte (SFC). 4 days ago I beat it for the first time with Megaman, and just earlier today, I did it with Bass. Didn't get many CD's though. What's the use of the CD's if you can't read Japanese?

Now I'm attempting Megaman X7, and that Lava Hyena or something like that had me on the floor cracking up!

BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN!

Burn to the ground!

BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN!
:lol: :lol:

[thejibster]

These days I'm playing Morrowind, and anything in the vein of Baldur's Gate...BG:DA2 is pretty good, and I'm really enjoying Champions of Norrath. Still waiting for Halo 2 to come out so I can enjoy some more FPS action, tho.

[ReggieHadoken]

Nice to see some BOFIII love going on here. It was one of my fav games in 1998. I still need to play my copy of BOFIV. I'll get around to it sometime.

I'm still working on Mario & Luigi but I needed another game to go along with playing that. My friend Lucas suggested Prince of Persia while I was talking to him on PM. I really thought about starting Splinter Cell (the first one) but he told me PoP should only take me about 7-8 hours to finish. So I think I'll play PoP.

I played some KOF '99 this morning. It is really going to take some getting used to. The button commands are pretty similar to SF but I still seems odd for me to be playing a 2D fighter that many characters have been familiar with for years, but I hardly know them. Well if I've played SF I can surely play KOF '99.

[GUNZ]

I just rented Rainbow six 3 for PS2.
Goddam that game is good.
Its really realistic. It sort of feels like What GRAND THEFT AUTO should be like if it goes to 3-D. This game is seriously scary how realistic it is sometimes. Of course it helps if you smoke magical herbs first. Major adrenaline in this game. This game is totally worth buying.

Yo *InVeRs3* if you bought Socom 2 then get as much money as you can for it and buy Rainbow Six 3. If your talking about Socom 1 then keep it, but IMO, Two is not that good Even for online playing.
Rainbow Six 3 is PS2 best shooter IMO. This shit is like Golden eye and Grandtheft Auto put together. The first two missions are not that impressive, then there is bad ass oil refinery and then you half to go into a house Tony Montana style. just gets better and better. The AI are pretty sharp too.

[ReggieHadoken]

I've decided to finish Mega Man X6. I started the game a while ago and have already defeated most of the mavericks. I'm just stuck on Metal Shark's stage. Having trouble with this long jump. I think I need to go back to another stage and get some armor so I can clear the jump. Time to head to planet-megaman.com.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Ragnarok and res evil outbreak.....Soon to be fight night

[Mr_Punkus]

Continuing the "games you have'nt completed" theme, I have got pretty far in the following games, but due to drop-off in interest or the console being hidden in loft, I have yet to finish them:

Breath Of Fire 2 - I have got all the way to the final dungeon, but have'nt entered it yet. Pisses me off that my united characters will probably be killed in the final dungeon by cheap one-hit attacks, because I have all the shamans, and have made the best possible combinations.

Super Mario RPG - This game had too much wandering around for my liking, and even though the battle system is well implemented, the whole game seems to "kiddy" for my liking. I guess if Landstalker and FF7 are the first RPG's you have ever played (and completed!), then you will have high expectations.

Chrono Trigger - Now I know this will attract alot of flak from die-hard CT fans, but I've fallen out of love with this game. The Rubble/boss orb trick makes it majorly broken, right now I'm 1/5 of the way through the Black Omen, and ALL my chars (including Magus) have ALL techs (doubles + triples) PLUS I have a bad habit of charming rare armor/items from enemies, then exiting the room and respawning them, so I can charm from them again! :lol:

Super Metroid - Just like Revenge Of Shinobi, this has an IMPOSSIBLE jump in the middle of one of the levels. Shit just ruined it for me.

Metal Gear Solid 2 - I have actually finished this game (rushed through to see the ending), and am playing through the second time. But this time, i'm collecting ALL the dog tags, so i have to be a lot more careful (no-kills). I'm currently 1/4 of the thru Raiden's section. I hated the bit with him running around naked (still funny to see an armed soldier getting owned by a naked guy with one hand covering his balls :lol: )

Gran Turismo 3 - I won every single race up until the Turbo Challenge, then get placed third in the Test Course Race, of all things. Kinda annoying when you've got Gold medals in all the other races. Guess my good ol' modded Mazda MX-7(j) just is'nt good enough. Click here (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=57192) for more details.

Splinter Cell - Because of my MGS2 stealth obsession, I'm trying to do a "no-kills" policy throughout the whole game. It's not easy in the latter part of the game, when simply opening a door will guarantee a hail of bullets coming your way.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - The Steal ability is way broken in this game. Some of my characters are so over-powered, it's not even funny. My Marche is currently a Ninja/thief with doublesword and strikeback abilities - this basically means that any time he is attacked, he attack will AUTOMATICALLY miss, and Marche will counterhit the enemy twice instead! Reached mission 21 " Materite Now! " then got bored with stupid CPU unit walking straight towards enemy party :wtf:

Advance Wars 2 - Damn good game, partly spoiled by the odd extremely hard mission. I want an S rank in every mission, dammit! Have completed Orange Star and Blue moon campaigns, currently halfway thru Yellow Comet.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Got pissed off with advance wars 2, so fired this up as a diversion. Have'nt even reached the first boss yet (:o),so can't say much but it looks like it's going to be good. The critical hit timing is way off from Super Mario RPG, though.

I am currently wasting my life with Fire Emblem. This game seems way too easy after the headaches of advance wars. I like the way units can change classes and morph when they level up. Kinda reminds me of FFTA. Currently at mission 10, will beat it tonight.

[ReggieHadoken]

Well Metal Shark Player is dead. The Nightmare actually helped me out by changing up the stage so I didn't have to do that dumb long jump area, but instead another junkyard smasher area. I wasn't complaining even though I died a few times. MSP was cake to beat. The only maverick to get under my skin was Infinity Mejilion. What exactly is a IM anyway? I'm puzzled.:eek:

You think that's broken? Wait until you get an Ex-2 (Excalibur 2, for those who don't play). Holy Blade with that thing=999 to anyone, unless the guy using it REALLY sucks. Fighter + Paladin= no one surviving.

Assassins are damn broken too; movement of like 7 or 8, high speed, instant KO, and the "Ultima Masher", which hits for around 700 HP once an assassin is around lv. 35 or so. In addition, you can add "Half MP" from Summoners to make it take only 30 MP, and the instant kill only takes like 8 MP or something unholy like that. An assassin with an Acacia Hat is something you don't screw with, unless you're the aforementioned Fighter/Paladin.

[DrumlinerJoe]

I just bought a Gamecube yesterday along with Smash Bros. Fun game as hell, just gotta get used to the non-Capcom style of fighting. Love the backgrounds and music.

Good for you, support the Gamecube, it's a damn good system. :) And if you still want to give Capcom some cash while you play Smash Bros. Melee, buy Viewtiful Joe. It's an excellent game.

BTW, avoid Gamefaqs like the black plague (what else is new) if you end up looking for Smash discussion online. If you want some insight, try www.smashboards.com. Just don't get caught up in who's the "best" (a lot of people who play Smash Bros. do) and have fun with it. It lasts a long time before getting old.

From what I've read, BG&E was one of 2003's best game that went by highly underappreciated. Easily worth the $20 it costs.

[Oni Warrior]

Besides SOCOMII online and Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow online, I've been playing Metal Slug First Mission for Neo Geo Pocket Color lately.

Yeah, I'm reliving a handheld classic. Would anyone happen to know if the girl is the only unlockable character in the game?

[WuHuakiMan]

Just playing Resident Evil: Outbreak and Mario Kart: Double Dash both are very awesome games.

[ReggieHadoken]

Is anyone else' games ticking them off other than mine? I rarely get peeved at a Mega Man game but MMX6 is really pushing my buttons. I'm trying to get all the parts of the Blade Armor and I only need one more part. Enemies keep getting cheap hits on me and I those dumb silver blocks have cause me a couple of deaths.:mad: Its getting to the point where I want to turn the game off but I've finally killed all the investigators (mavericks) and all I have left are the Gate leves but I think I may need the Blade Armor and Shadow Armor to advance. ARRRGGGGH!!!!! Blast you Capcom!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

[sentinal86]

im playing crimson sea 2.so far its mad fun.its like dynasty warroirs with more attack options due to there being two guns,and its in space.
i have bg@e for the gc it seems fun. but i bought a 59 block memory when i first got my gc back in oct 2003,and bg@e takes 55 blocks wtf.
:mad:

[Million]

There was a Metal Slug game scheduled for GBA...is it out yet?

-Sonic Heroes = no longer a problem. I got all three remaining emeralds this past saturday night, and beat the real final boss. The final sequence to this game is outstanding....it's certainly better than the final parts of both Adventure games.(*except regarding plot...SA2 is superior in that regard.)

-------
So now, it's back to Phantasy Star Online and Viewtiful Joe for me. I would play more Smash Bros.Melee, but I still have nobody to play against. Beating the AI got stale quite awhile ago. In PSO---I must continue my adventures now as MASON; a maxed out HUmar based on the legendary character from Fox's 24.(*greatest damn show on tv.) "Chojin" continues his trek towards level 152 for Aura Field usage. I'm in the future playing Devil May Cry 4, bitches! How does that jealousy taste!? Ohhhhhh so good, right?

Oh yeah...I got to actually play some more "Roadkill" too. I haven't played more than a couple of minutes of it. I posted a thread about it last week or so when I bought it, but apparently....either nobody in SRK heard of the game....or nobody cares about it.

XBOX PRICE DROP!!!!!--> it's $150 now, while Ps2 is still *hee hee* $180.:p Sooooooo I may actually pick up an Xbox very soon.

*boy...imagine how bad the people feel who just bought one about a week ago. It's not a huge difference, but still...that's gotta at least hurt a little bit to drop 180something on a system, and in a matter of days the price goes down 30 bucks.:lol:

[OmNiExiZt]

I.... I played Final Fantasy Tactics again today:mad: !!!

I really should play some of my other games, but I'm just addicted to this one. For some reason, its all I think about. The music, the story and the battle system just makes this one of my all time favorite games to play.

*ONEZ*

[FighterX]

I just beat Ninja Gaiden for the first time last night.

I'm currently playing Gradius Gaiden, the Raiden Project and I'm about to jump into Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube - I played about 15 minutes of that, and I really dug it, so I told myself I'd beat that after I beat Ninja Gaiden.

[Famicom]

I beat Megaman X6 on Easy Mode.

I wanted to hurry up and get the game over with to maintain my Megaman winning streak.

Just beat that game for the fourth time last night :D. It's the only reason I still own a gamecube.

[ReggieHadoken]

This sucks! I tried getting through the first Gate stage but it turns out Zero's life bar is STILL tiny, even if I collected Heart Containers as him! How in the world is he supposed to be of any goos use if he barely has any life!!! That's gay.:mad:

[ReggieHadoken]

Bumpage.

I FINALLY got all the pieces of the Shadow Armor! The last one was the hardest to get because I had to air dash between two extremly narrow spike pits. So I died. A lot. But all my persistence paid off because the Shadow Armor makes me INVINCIBLE to spikes! Ha! Take that, spikes! All those years you've tormented me in Mega Man games!!! Well look who laughs now! MUA HA HA HA AHA AHAAAAAAAAA!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol: .....................:D

[Dios <-X->]

Currently playing ninja gaiden...on very hard...going to pass it this time for the 5th fucking time lol i love this game...next on the list of unfinished games.....fatal frame.....eternal darkness.....skies of arcadia legends.....the twin snakes.....knights of the old republic....golden sun 2.....link to the past......splinter cell....and beyond good and evil......

as you can see...ima be very very Very friggan busy @_@

[ReggieHadoken]

Thank you, Capcom. Thank you for making High Max. One of the most cheap, and stupidly, unessesarily hard bosses of all time. Thanks to those two blast shields are him, he's nearly imposible to beat. "Shoot him with the X-Buster, then change to a special weapon. Oh but you don't do a great deal of damage too him. Oh and he it acts like a punk-sissy because he keeps his dumb shields up enarly ALL THE TIME. Did we mention he's isn't always easy to dodge?" Feh. If I see High Max appear in another MM game or anywhere esle, heads will roll, Capcom. YOUR heads will roll, Capcom. :mad: :bluu:

High Max=:lame:

[Endless names]

I am currently playing ssx3

I am currently playing silent hill 3 but I turn that shit off as soon as i walk in a door and the music begins and i can hear somebody coming after me......hey fuck that shit im alone when i play it.


I was playing disgea with hopes of that shit being like final fantasy tactics...............not even close

I miss good games like metal gear solid 2 I still play it in hopes other companies will take their time on games like on this one.atleast

Sacred continues to get better and better, but my Battlemage has anger management problems. I tried to use (but failed, of course), another class's skill item for him to learn, and he was all but outraged, telling me angrily that he's a FUCKING MAGE, DAMMIT, and that HE WOULDN'T USE NO SISSY WOOD ELF ARROW SKILL! FOOLISH USER, PLAY THE GAME GOODER! These weren't his exact words, but it was pretty close. I only tried once. Geez.

The Sonic Heroes emblem hunt continues. Slow and steady. I don't think there's an all rank-A emblem (someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong), so I'm taking things easy. The easiest second emblems seem to be Team Rose and (surprisingly) Team Dark. The other two teams will be near impossible for me, I know it.

I finally finished the Wind Waker. Nothing beats them light arrows; one hit kill on just about anything in a huge explosion of light. Too cool. Now to finally finish Metroid Prime.

Despite the fact that I suck at it, I'm trying to find MvC2 for the DC. I'm looking for an excuse to hook the damn thing up again. Oh, does anyone know if there are component cables for the DC?

I'm done...

Turned out that I lost the memory card that had most of my RPG data saved, so I gotta go through BoF 3 again. Aah, BoFIV is the beast too. Nice graphics and the story is engaging.

I burned myself out on Ninja Gaiden and now I'm in the mood for sommore RPG love. Started another game in Xenogears. <3

I'm also considering buying Symphony Of The Night as well; I know its old, but I heard it was a grand game.

No I didn't get past him. The one time I have to fight that punk and Capcom makes him nearly impossible to kill. I use X with the Blade Armor because Zero doesn't have a chance with his crappy low health.

Well since MMX6 ticked me off so much, I played some WipeOut Fusion with cheats. Man, have infinite shield and infinite weapons rocks.:D

X + Ultimate Armor = High Max owned.

But if you don't use it, then it's tough as hell. I recall having to alternate your X-Buster with Z-Saber slashes once the damn shield is down, but I'm not totally sure since I only rented the game.

Ah. Since you described him having shields I'm assuming you're fighting him in the last stage, and not in one of the initial eight levels.

Blade Armor X can delay his air dash. Stick to the opposing wall as high as possible, and when he prepares to charge you, jump off and delay an air dash forward. Dash the moment he charges; you should get above him.

While waiting for his charge, you can either pepper one shield with single shots or charged shots. Once it goes down, charge-shot High Max then hit him with a special weapon (I find the flame saber easiest). Repeat until dead.

Rarely, High Max will break his pattern, go to the middle of the screen, and start firing orbs at you like mad until you die or he does. At this point, he's VULNERABLE; finish him quickly.

ZERO: Zero can beat High Max without taking damage. Zero has to do things in reverse; first hit with a Special attack, then a normal slash. HOWEVER, the rapid spin-slash move (which I THINK is down+the saber button) counts as BOTH. Jump VERY SLIGHTLY off the ground (like Air Hyper Viper Beam "slightly") and use the rapid spin slash twice quickly. You'll have to position yourself so High Max doesn't fall on you, but you should have this down in no time. Seriously, High Max is a joke to Zero once you discover this.

HOWEVER, note that you CANNOT save until you beat the stage following High Max and a (potentially) much more infuriating boss, Gate...

EDIT - Oh, yeah, and don't pick normal X or Shadow X for this stage either. Shadow X can punk High Max easily but thanks to Capcom's lazy game design, X/Shadow X CANNOT clear a jump in the following stage...

[ReggieHadoken]

Whoa. There's Ultimate Armor in MMX6? I had no idea. I thought there was only Shadow, Blade and Falcon. :eek:

Yeah Ultimate Armor's in X6. After you beat the game, it'll give you a code after the credits roll.

Thanks for all the advice, specs. But X6 has ticked me off som much to the point where I just wanna throw the game out the window. And I LOVE Mega Man games!!:eek:

That's one of the reasons I don't play X6, and I love Mega Man games...there's a lot of blind jumps in which you can't see what is below you, and certain jumps that X can't clear, and that is TOTALLY unforgivable.

I beat the first Pious Stage last night, and I chose a tome that changes him into a zombie - I didn't go back and reload and choose another one, so I don't know if that's a part of the story I can change.

I just started on the Ellia level, and I'm going to try to finish that tonight (just got my broken sword repaired).

Raiden Project - I'm able to get up to the 5th stage on "Colonel". They throw some crazy shit at you, but once you get the purple toothpaste laser maxed, it's over for them. :) I wonder what it's like on "General". :eek:

Gradius Gaiden - I've made it to the 3rd Stage so far. If anyone has a chance to pick this up, do so! Classic arcade play, and you can select from 4 ships.

Does anyone here still play Thunderforce III, or IV (Lightening Force) on the Genesis? I'm thinking about trying to go back and beat those also.

SuperPunch Out

Name: ippo
weight:180
type: HeavyWeight
style: Button mash/counter
colors: (dont know! only can see his torso)

After blazing through the minor league, with a 4 - 0 record, I started to get a little cocky. I mean 2 TKO and 2 knockouts i was beggining to feel myself. The minors were a joke at best. with my crazy button mashing skills combined with my last second counter knock outs i was sure i was going straight to the top with out a loss.
The matches of the major was average, the guys fight really shady, Combinations are really weak but they all seam to have some cheesy ass moves. I took down the rasta in under a minute in the first round. I end up completeing the majors with a 4-2 record.
But my path comes to a screeching hault when i remember my next opponent is a beast. Fucking Kagero, this guy is so broken its ridiculous. Ive gotten my ass beat by a tranny all week with no hopes of even getting a TKO and i refuse to cheat. Kagero has way to many combinations to remember plus the added bonus of his/her shadow technique into random combo, plus the double whip hair move and finally i swear to god that his throwing feints into his combinations. Its started to piss me off cause as soon as i think i know what he is coming with he changes up on me and when he is low on life he repeatedly abuses the shadow shit and pummels my champion.
But i will never stop trying to whip his gay ass, i will be champion and the rode to a title match will be conquered.

I cannot believe I forgot Super Punch Out. Best rental game ever.

The hair freak pummeled me too. I don't remember exact strats but I know that if the hair gives you trouble you're going to have a rather tough time later against Super Macho Man.

EVERYTHING in that game, though, gave you some advance warning. The fastest OHKO move the CPU throws out is still preceded by a twitch or change in their appearance. Watch carefully, then react. Since I don't remember the exact patterns too well, that's all I can say.

Note that you cannot get the "true" ending (which isn't all that great) without a 16-0 PERFECT record. But don't do it; it's not worth the effort, believe me...

Currently playing through GTA: Vice City for ps2. Started playing it way back when it came out and never finished. Probably cause Metroid Prime came out.

Honestly, aside from the bikes being in Vice City, I think I like GTA3 better. Like the no-personality main character better, the actual city better, and the people you worked for better. *shrug*

Hell I thought Super Punch Out was a worthy buy back in the day. I played that game a lot.

Kagero is a pretty weird character, the one move you should really look out for is his hair move. You gotta remember to dodge to the left on the inital start of it and Duck when he comes back around. After that hit him with a right jab to stun him and punish that asshole for trying that freaky move on you. His 'special' combinations of jabs is exactly the same every single time. I can't remember if he has 1-2 of these diffrent combinations, but just remember what gesture he does before he does the move and memorize his punches. Next time he does it, you can easily block it and punish. No character on SPO has random 'rush downs' from what I remember.

[Hunter D]

I am playing:
Halo
Ninja Gaiden(best action game since Castlevania:SoTN.)
Contra3
Final Fantasy: CC( great game when you have other ppl to play with.):)

Ah I love Super Puch-Out!! I actually got it for free from a friend back in 2001. Mr. Sandman STILL irks me to this day. He's always been a pain for me even in the original Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! i had the hardest time beating him in both games. :bluu:

Back to X6... I don't know if I can go back and play that game. Seriosuly, I'm so ticked off with it. And the amount of cheap hits regular enemies can score on you is ridiculous. I like X6 but is has some serious flaws, which for a Company like Capcom, is just inexcusable.

There has to be a counter to that shadow shit he pulls, im just to impatient to wait for an opening. I wish NIN would come out with a sequel to this game. Its a classic!

Im also playing the suffering right now and i am suprised on how good this game really is. Im tellin you this game is gold and everyone should check it out.
And another game to look out for is Fight Night 2k4. Comes out this week and has some sweat new controls, im lookin forward to kickin roy jones cocky ass.

All of the artifacts turn him into a zombie. The artifact you choose only determines a later boss and who the big bad is.

EDIT: and it also determines a few other types of monsters.

Chaos Legion: should be able to beat within a week

But to be honest how will you find time?
As for myself, I am playing Beyond Good and Evil ($20), Jak II (very funny), Ninja Gaiden (those dayum tanks). and SC2. Occasionally I play CvS 2 but since i got my ass handed I may wind up play it as well. At the same time though, I am trying to finish college and I stored my consoles and games in my closet so I wont be distracted I guess.

Well I never played Devil May Cry 1, and just happen to recieve Devil May Cry 2 as a christmas gift (which I didnt ask for) =P

so I thought I'd give it a try

anyways, I'm not really trying to complete all these in one sitting or anything. I'm just taking it 1 game at a time (so far, I've completed Onimusha, Onimusha 2, Zone of the Enders, Medal of Honor Rising Sun, Dot Hack Infection, XIII, Metal Gear Solid 2, with alot more to go)

I did abit of cleaning around my room and found my Gallop Racer PSOne game, and also Gallop Racer 5 on PS2, so I was pretty happy about it :o

[ReggieHadoken]

Well its back to Mario & Luigi for me. I'm at Hoo Hoo University and it has been overrun by monsters/ghosts. So once I clean that place out I have no clue what the game will have me do next.

As much as I love my Mega Man games I'm going to lay off MMX6 for a while. Sorry X. Sorry Zero. Looks like evil will win this time.

[ReggieHadoken]

Bump.

I'm still at BooHoo University. Mario & Luigi got seperated for a bit and hugged when they got back together. *sniff* now that's brotherely love.:)

Just finishing up P.N.03 the second time around (want that Papillion suit). About to start Silent Hill 2. Any suggestions?

[ReggieHadoken]

Along with Mario & Luigi, I'm also playing Street Fighter EX3. I don't like it as much as I do EX+@ but the game is still good. I'm working on beating Original Mode with all the fighters. I was happy when I unlocked Kairi as a hidden fighter. I just hope Akuma is also one of the hidden fighters.

I finally beat Shenmue II... I am so disappointed right now :(. I was totally into it for the first 3 discs but then disc four happened.

I never realized how much fun using Vega could be until I used him in SFEX3. He's got some sweet moves and his reach makes him even better. Sky High Claw is one of my fav moves. Too bad most foes see it coming a mile away.:bluu:

You're actually buying it? I guess you can speak Japanese then...as for me, I just downloaded the DeJap version, since I don't speak a lick of the language. Great game though, it bitchslaps both Legend of Mana and that pathetic half-assed wanna-be, Sword of Mana.

[ReggieHadoken]

I actually put MMX6 back in today. What in the world was I thinking. Even with the code for the Ultimate Armor X6 is still an irritating game. I finally see how screwed up some of the level designs are. There are a few blind jumps in Commander Yammark's stage-blind jumps laced with SPIKE PITS!!! Way to screw up Capcom. And I thought High Max's ridiculous method to be defeated was the only thing wrong with the game. I'm buying MMX7 this week and it had better not be messed up like X6 is.:bluu:

In better news I only have the top row of fighters to go and I'll have completed Original Mode with all fighters in SFEX3.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Akuma is not in the game. Storyline-wise, Kairi killed Akuma and took his place.

I pulled an all-nighter and finished SFEX3. Kairi had one of the best endings in the game as did Skullomania. Shadow Giest was very fun to play as and I hope he's in EX2+. Now I need another game to play with M&L.:eek:

The 3D segments suck big time, especially when you're playing as Zero. And several of the bosses are just annoying as shit, especially the Flame Hyena. BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN! Just shut up already. Jesus. Plus, Axl's an idiot. I definitely hope that he doesn't permanently replace X.

[FighterX]

Yes, you might want to rent X7 first before you burn the $29.99.

I gave it a chance, but some games weren't meant for 3D, that's all I have to say on it.

I don't like X7, and I'm probably one of the biggest MM fans on the planet.

Hmmm. Well I can buy it for $24.99 but maybe I'll wait for the price to go down even more.

I'll probably just find some old used games to buy on PS1 or SNES. I'm still looking for both Street Fighter Collection games.

Until then I may just play Mario & Luigi until I complete it. That game is TOO fun.

Well I've got the PS2 version and it rocks. I need to play it again. The last I left off I was having trouble getting past level 4. I paid $20 for the game at Best Buy back in 2002. Glad I picked it up because I haven't seen a copy since.

I've played the hell out of Serious Sam, and I love them. Hell, I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a fun game. If you've ever played Multiplayer, it's even better.

Currently playing: WarioWare, Mega Party Game$ for GC.

Great party game, crappy single player. There could've been more, though. Only buy it if you have two or three more buddies to play it with; it is NOT worth it alone.

Sacred: I made my first combo. I dunno how much I like combos; recharge time is exponentially increased, it seems. (For those wondering, there's no MP or anything in Sacred; you can cast as much as you like but different spells/skills/combos have different recharge times.)

I'm going to re-play X7 and try to beat MMZ2 as well. I hear MMZ3 should be out soon...

I don't think anyone answered this already, but... Story-wise SH3 has to do with SH1, and uses the town from SH2 a little. I don't think SH2 has anything to do with SH1.

I really lucked out today when I went looking for some games to buy. I found Lunar and Lunar 2 used. Lunar 2 was $40 and the original Lunar was $29. Lunar 2 came with most of the stuff like the music CD, making of CD, map, etc. Whatever the Omake thing was, however, wasn't there. Oh well. Lunar 1 only came with the Making of Lunar as an extra but its the game I'm more concerned about. Finally, my quest for two super rare titles has ended.:D

I have all of those games you mentioned. Got FFT when it was rereleased and got SOTN back in early 2001 new for less than $30. Talk about a deal.:)

I think I'm going to get back to playing GTAIII. I bought a strategy guide for the game for $1.99 at Funcoland. When I left off I was stuck on some mission where 8-Ball goes inside some ship and plants some bombs while I do some snipping. That's the toughest mission I've come across yet. Wish me luck!:D

[ReggieHadoken]

Bumpage.

W00T! I got past that dumb mission with 8-Ball thanks to my Brady Games Strategy Guide. I can't believe all I had to do was snipe the suckers from left to right. That mission was so easy. Now I'm in a new city. I'm not quite familiar with it yet so for now I'm just crusing around causing all sorts of chaos.:D

"You 'bout to get rolled on!"

"No YOU 'Bout to get rolled on. Rolled on in my big, fat rhino tank!"

[ReggieHadoken]

BUMP.

Well after I failed a mission in GTAIII my game wouldn't load!! GRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I had access to the whole city and everything and was loaded with cash! So I said forget it and started playing Vice City. I like VC but man does it seem to start out slow. Low pay for jobs, don't have a ton of heavy artilerly, haven't seen a great deal of cool cars, etc. However, I love the '80s music (one of the reasons I bought the game) and I love the whole Miami '80s atmosphere. Still, I really don't see the reasons for VC scoring 10s and 9s. Maybe I need to dive deepert into the game and play more.

Megaman Zero 2 is raping me rather badly. So I took a break and started on Metroid Zero Mission.

Believe it or not, I never played the original Metroid. Or Metroid 2. Every other one, I've played and loved. So Zero Mission is like 100% new content for me.

It seems to play a little faster than Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. Also, you can wall-jump repeatedly off the same wall, allowing you to take some decent shortcuts if you mess around in certain areas.

It's fun... but I already beat Kraid and Ridley in a little over an hour and a half... I'm wondering how much more is left...

Right now I'm playing Street Fighter Collection (Super Street Fighter II Turbo) on the PS1. Though my heart eternally lies with Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Turbo is pretty solid when judged on her own merits. Too bad she was just pretty minor as an update, released in a time when Capcom had already upgraded the same damn game 3 previous times. Though what I really liked about this collection was the inclusion of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, as I never picked up the original PS1 version of SFA2.

I've also been playing Final Fantasy Tactics. Another really fun game. Though the enemy is always way too overpowered. Having to fight random battles to get your squad's jobs up to par to compete was a bitch. And though the plot has one the finest villain in the series, overall the characters are really bland and the plot, though not truly incomprehensible, is a bit hard to follow. Whether Matsuno, SCEA, or both are to blame I'm still debating though. As I said, it's a great game, though it's definitely the farthest FF from my heart as far as the PS1 games go.

[SirFritzalot]

currently playing FF Anthology and Dark Cloud

I could tell that Dark Cloud's weapon customization is gonna be deep as hell, and probably a little bit tedious

I heard that MMZ2 was TOUGH. It dropped to $20 so I'm gonna pick it up sometime.

As for the Metroid games, they are excellent. I beat Fusion a few months ago and loved it. One of my online buddies told me that Zero Mission was a bit low on bosses so I don't think it is as long as Fusion.

Me, I've been playing a lot of Vice City as of late... with the cheats. (No flames, please) I like it, but all these two lane streets have got to go! I suppose its because VC is supposed to represebt Miami, but man, I miss the four lane roads of GTAIII. Also I miss getting money just for causing chaos. In GTAIII if you blew up a car, you were rewarded for it. Oh well. One mission had me offing some punk on a golf course. That sucker did not wanna die. I had to chase him down. I had gotten rid of all the golf carts, so he had no choice but to run. Instead of hitting him with my rocket launcher, I got into a golf cart I found and ran that fool over.:D

Metroid Zero Mission... finished! Man, that was short. Metroid Fusion and *especially* Super Metroid are still better.

I got my copy of Seiken Densetsu 3 in the mail today. My first import from japan and it only took a week and a half to get here. Top tier condition as stated in the ebay description. If you're gonna ebay something, I would highly recommend hit-japan :D

Mario & Luigi: Good grief, I don't know what Mario sees in that hoe, Peach. I practically had to baby sit that broad when I went into Tee Hee Valley. If she was off screen she got kidnapped by monsters. You know how many times I had to rescue that trick? TOO MANY FREAKIN' TIMES!!! I have never been so happy to see a save point!!:mad:

GTA: Vice City: Man, am I loving this game. The musis is superb and the story is very interesting. There are tons of different ways to do things in this game. For instance, I was driving a sucky car and saw a nice-looking bike that I wanted. Now normally when I steal a car on the road that happens to be driving, I just pull my car in front of it, stop, throw the poor sap out, get in and drive off. Well when I pulled up in front of the bike, it stopped for like 1 second and then drove off! The nerve!!:mad: So I tailed the two on the bike for a short distance and ramed those muthas! Those idiots flew off that bike, it was hilarious! I then got on my new bike and rode off into the sunset.:D

Currently playing Ninja Gaiden for XBox, at the beginning of chapter 11. Christ, I love this game. It easily beats Shinobi on pretty much all levels. Can't wait to play the classic NES Ninja Gaidens.

Ryu Hayabusa is the man.
