I find a lot of games now dont really give me any reason to finish them. Half Life 2 was the last game that really dragged me into it.

Wait, what is TS2?

TimeSplitters 2. It's like a futuristic Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, but with more weapons and things. It has a lot of playback value because of all the options the multiplayer has, which is why it still retains its appeal with me, even though it was one of the first games released. There are a lot of modes, weapons, levels, and things. Better than Halo, heh... but I've never really been impressed with Halo. You have a lot of free reign to do set up the games you want with friends, and there are thousands of crazy characters, which can add to the comedy factor if you are so inclined.

And the story mode is so hard :upset:

I have never heard of it, and I thought Halo was pretty fun.

[QUOTE=Jom]EDIT: I beat it on Easy, but that was way easy. Normal is hard [/QUOTE]
I know what you mean. That game is so challenging. I never did complete it fully.

Halo was fun for me until the people who lived in my dorm my first year at school would play the SAME DAMN level/game/time limit ALL THE TIME. Blood Gulch, Capture The Flag, Unlimited time limit. All they'd do is snipe each other, because they all knew the best sniping positions.

So, being the tool that I am and didn't own an Xbox, went running around on the Warthog or just jumping like an outerspace ballerina across the gulch and get the flag. The score would ALWAYS be 1-0 because I'd make it back miraculously, but I'd also be killed no less than 120 times per game.

I think I've bitched about this before :-\

But anyways, back home, I like playing because my friends aren't nerdy to the max about one level/style/time limit.

Anyways, I've also done like what Bartender (was it him?) said with TS2: someone is the President and carries the weakest gun in the game, while the rest of us are his Secret Service people, with the more powerful weapons. We then put twenty or so bots on hard to extreme difficulty and try to protect the President.

Or, one time we were all crazy characters (Gingerbread Man, Duck, and Fish) with any weapon, while a fourth was the Chef, who only had a Flamethrower.

Lame as it looks, it's a ton of fun when you're in the same room, really.

This is an excellent game. I love playing multiplayer custom games where I can set it up to add challenging AI units to avoid beating the hell out of my friends like I always did.

I've played Halo and I really thought it sucked. In other words, the Xbox holds no redeeming value to me whatsoever.

MP FPS games belong on the PC in my opinion.

Unless it's an RTS, I think PC's suck for games in general.

I've never tried that. It's a pretty good idea, I'll try it sometime.

My first game was the original Timesplitters.. it's pretty decent. Two is the best, The newest one sucks.

Driving classes are possibly the most boring thing I've ever experienced.

Funny. I've always liked Halo, and I didn't enjoy TS2 at all. I thought it was fairly awfull in fact, but there you go.

Yeah, I've heard the new one is a real let down.

I haven't played the new one. The screen shots looked awesome, but I don't really have time to play video games.

When the new Zelda comes out, I'm going to go crazy. If it comes out before finals, absolutely no studying will get done :upset:

Hopefully it'll make up for the failure that was Windwaker. I hate that game.

Why? What was wrong with it? I thought it was better than Majora's Mask :(

I didn't think it was that bad of a game - I think people just gave it crap for the cel-shading. I thought it had a great story for the most part :)

This game, from the looks of it alone, is going to dominate, hopefully. They can't be pushing it back, pushing it back to make it suck, haha.

Half the game was a frustrating, unsatisfying "quest" involving hours of monotonous sailing and "treasure hunting". The final bosses were very weak (stupid puppets), and there were essentially four dungeons. It was as if the designers finished the game, found it would be too short, and decided to slap on some stupid mandatory sidequests to lengthen it.

Yeah, there was a lot of sailing, that's true. As soon as you learned that one song, though, it wasn't too bad. I liked the dungeons a lot, but yeah, I agree that they weren't totally in depth as some in Ocarina of Time were.

Sidequests do make or break a game like that, though. I know that I didn't do all of them, but some of them were kind of interesting.

Windwaker confused the hell out of me. I didn't know where to go in the end and gave up.

I stopped playing Wind Waker and tried to pick it up again a few months later and was totally lost.

I really need to get a guide for it and start again.

[QUOTE=Happy]I really need to get a guide for it and start again.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, same here. I need to play something other than counterstrike for a while, hha.

Let me know where you guys are and I can try to give you some guidance. I haven't played video games in forever, not even on the computer, but I have a pretty vivid memory for things like that, heh.

Oh God. In Windwaker I can last remember getting to some temple or something and I got to a room with a large head in it and mist around the bottom which stopped you from using weapons. I didn't know where to go from there I think.

Slight. I'm not all that great at them, my guitar teacher says I'm pretty good seeing as I didn't start until a few weeks ago.

I beat Wind Waker. Majora's Mask, however, was positively perplexing, plus puzzling!!

Majora's Mask was pretty cool. I never managed to get every mask.. that one purple haired guy's mask is just impossible. Heh, I'm a Zelda nerd.

I've actualy never been a Zelda fan. I never realy played either but it just never got my attention realy..

NP Iced Earth - Slave To The Dark(live)

yyyeah not much of a Zelda guy. I was a sports game guy first and foremost so I had PlayStation instead of an N64...

The Fierce Deity mask completely ruins the final battle because it makes it redonkulously easy. However, I guess it's worth it after finding all the masks or whatever.

It wasn't too bad of a game at all, certainly good, but not the best of the franchise.

Super Mario 64 remains untouchable :cool:

And I'm a huge sports game guy, especially NCAA Football/Madden/NBA. Baseball games just never took off with me on the Gamecube, but I loved Ken Griffey Jr.'s Major League Baseball for SNES and N64 :)

Any kind of Mario rocks. I never got to the total 120 stars for Mario 64 though. I'm missing a wire so I cant play..

SNES is realy cool, but I dont have anymore of the good games I used to play..

AS for Sports games, I only play NHL.

that one was ok, but I think the PlayStation got all the sports games (I don't think the N64 got NCAA Football, March Madness, or even NBA Live). Also, the graphics were sharper, the CDs always held more than the N64 games (whatever they were called), and the controller was much better.

(also check out my controversial new user title o noes)

Not a jab at your Ray, but it would be seemingly impossible for the Playstation to have sharper graphics because the N64 had double the graphics processing power :|

But you are right, Playstation is facking great for sports games. My brother has NBA Street on his Psp and it rocks.

But still, Ocarina Of Time > Any game ever.

Oh, I have no beef with the PlayStation, really, especially with sports games - Sony always seemed to dominate the sporting genre. Growing up, my family was always a Nintendo family. I always have a rough time adjusting to the PlayStation controller, but since controllers these days are basically the same size/shape generally, it's easier for me. And I can never get the order of the shapes right when I play.

"Hey, how do I bring up the receivers?"

"Square. SQUARE DAMMIT THROW THE BALL I'M WIDE OPEN!"

"Uhh..." /looks down, gets sacked for twelve yards

"Oh, you mean Button 2..."

hahahaha

im personally a PC and Nintendo whore. My brother has a 360, and i already know that the Revolution is going to wipe the floor with it games wise.

I could not stand Super Mario 64. Never really properly learned how to play it...kept drowning.

Majora's Mask was one of those games I regretted selling before I beat it. I got a decent way through it...2 bosses, dungeon of third, other stuff...

Maybe I should pick up the one that they made for Gamecube. It doesn't have the same feel, but it's better than nothing.

I agree with the Wind Waker being to easy convo btw. I only had to take 2 days of school to beat it with my brother.
