Piece of shit game

Do as Rexxz said. The MSX2 was the original game and the NES was a port. Konami did the NES port without Kojimas direct involvement and several changes were made. Kojima has even went so far as to say it was "complete garbage".

Kind of was really. It was a fucking maze and impossible to find anything. And I was 7, didn't know english and I had no idea of what to do.

Damn, that must have been a pain in the ass to play. Those days you had no choice but to persevere, so it's extra torture.

Oh yes. I really hated it Never played it again when I bought new games such as Mario and those.

I remember Centipede. :o

I remember Pong, watching through the glint in my Father's left eye.

Also, Mercs. That game was amazing. That was my first introduction to RPG elements in a game.

First one is definitely an inferior port while Metal Gear 2 NES is an entirely different game altogether and horrendous.

Didn't MGS3 Subsistence have the original MSX2 Metal Gear games on them? I think it did, so that could be a way to play them, or emulation...etc.

As for the NES ones, all I can say is - fucking dogs.

Indeed it did.



It is a game everyone should own anyways.


And on a side note, never doubt the Japanese love for Final Fantasy.

The week before the PS3 sold 16,701 units.

Check out the Media Create sells for 04/13 - 04/19.

Playstation 3 - 62,527
PSP - 40,065
Nintendo DSi - 38,287
Nintendo Wii - 13,221
Xbox 360 - 8,652
Nintendo DS - 6,438
Playstation 2 - 4,230

That Cloudy Black bundle with Advent Children on Blu-Ray/the Demo was received quite well. I cannot wait to see how many consoles the full game can push.

Zeno Clash is very cool. The setting, characters etc = insane, worth playing just for the surrealism and craziness.

I can't believe it, but the UFC game (demo at least) is actually fun.

I spent about 3 hours playing it with my brother. It did a damn good job at being realistic and fun at the same time.

Chuck Liddell hits fucking hard, as expected. I kept getting knocked out by lucky punches.

Funny you should say that, I already did own it. I just never really had a reason to put much time into Subsistence, as I already owned and poured hours upon hours into the original MGS3. So that's awesome, I've had the Metal Gear games all the fuck along

Just finished Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, best one so far, this series is really good, on to Double Agent.

But is anybody else afraid Ubisoft will fuck it up with Conviction for the sake of gimmicky innovation? They seem to be developing a talent for doing just that.
Besides, Ubisoft Montreal's games have been terrible for the last 2-3 years with no exception, it's worrying.

Chaos Theory WAS pretty awesome, did you ever play Pandora Tomorrow? To this day I cannot find a copy in town. That game is, for absolutely no reason, extremely rare in my region. The first one was a classic, however.
I never played Double Agent, it looked to me like more of a rogue third person shooter, more heavily focused on shooting instead of the awesome ninja shit.
Is there STILL talks for a SC movie, or what?

Double Agent... Well I like it but it's damn short (hell the first mission is a training one one, yet there are two training courses you can do) there and a couple of things don't make sense, like the choices and all, some are so easy to make or guess the outcome. I won't spoil anything but your first "hard choice" really is so easy to guess what happens either way and dependently of which action you choose the bad guys like you more or less as the good guys and the trust system just is weird.

I don't know if you're talking about the 360 version guys but if so you have one fun but real short bonus mission which I don't know why they wouldn't have included in the pc version. But the xbox version is far better. Much more like the old splinter cells, the choices are more realistic as the storyline makes much more sense and is much more interesting in every aspect.

Gimmicky innovation? Well I wouldn't agree, you'd like to see a series like Splinter cell to be an almost copy paste version of each game? Don't get me wrong they were great, but it would seem redundant not only gameplay wise but story wise too. Always those similar missions and all, I think 3 missions is enough and if I'd like I can always replay them, hell it's been some time since I played any of them. I can't wait to play Conviction, I like the direction of Double Agent, it's concept but it was somewhat flawed in its execution. Story wise the series is taking a really interesting turn. And what pisses me off with double agent is that It's Ubi Shangai who made the 360 version and montreal the xbox one, and the latter was far superior. Why the hell did they let Ubi Shangai do the experimentation and not those who made the game in the first place? Pandora Tomorrow was more than good but it was splinter cell part two, I mean unless the studio is really shitty it would have been hard to fail.

I've seen someone doing a Morrowind reference in the FFA thread, does anyone still plays or played the game? How much did you like the game? Which classes did you use? And what do you think of the direction the series took with Oblivion?

Personally, most of the time I had a warrior class character, nords, orcs or dark elves. I loved the game, I don't know how many hours I've played it. As for Oblivion, I thought the level scaling thing flawed the combat system. First there were no dangerous place you didn't want to go or barely explore until a certain level like say the red mountain. Also, the quests are too much concentrated in the same places, there are tons of beautiful valleys and all but there is absolutely nothing than worthless treasures. There was no artifacts, well yes but only daedric ones necessary to the main quest completion. No artifact from the land lore that you could find in dungeons scattered across that could make some places more interesting. While the main quest was fun, I thought it focused too much on an apocalyptic plot, it was most enjoyable but something more related to politics and religion would have been nice. Since it was the capital, most cities had the same races unlike Morrowind where it was mostly Dark Elves.

Goddamnit, I'm pissed. The pw I've had saved on my Steam account for the past 4 years apparently isn't the pw anymore. I found this out when I went to buy a game from Steam. It said I had to enter the login name/pw (even though I was already logged in... Very odd.), then it said the info provided was incorrect. I logged out to try and figure out what it was, and this shouldn't have been difficult, given that I only have 2 common passwords, but none of my common passwords or their common variants were correct! I've had the pw stored for some time, but I've had these passwords for years prior to using Steam, even used with Steam for several years now, and I never change my passwords, so I have no clue what's happened...

Big deal, right? I could just ask Steam to retrieve my lost info. Well, there's a problem there too. Apparently, for some reason which cannot possibly make sense under any set of logical, rational rules, my secret question (which I must answer to retrieve the password) is, "What did customer support last change your passphrase too?" Are you fucking kidding me? If I knew the answer to that question, why the fuck would I be trying to retrieve lost info?!

Pandora Tomorrow? Sure, i'm playing them in chronological order now.
It's better developed then the first, has the most interesting storyline of the first three and propably the most memorable Splinter Cell mission on a moving train.
So it's worth tracking down.
That said, it feels a bit short and Chaos Theory was further improvement in my opinion.



Innovation is a good thing, but not for it's own sake (hence "gimmicky") and certainly not when it sacrifices gameplay and pacing only to lose it's novelty appeal after 3 days anyway. (see Far Cry 2 and Assassin's Creed)

FarCry 2 had some issues, but was a pretty amazing experience overall.

Euh which innovation in Far Cry 2 were you talking about? I mean being in a huge map of I don,t know how much squares mile that you can get across by car is really nice alone, really immersive though I don't see innovation for the sake of innovation, they only wanted to make their game the most immersive possible. And yes there is some issues, my main gripe is with the checkpoints, day or night there is always people to shoot you and whatever vehicle you have, they can always ride faster. That becomes grating after some time.

Back to double agent, you could almost guess they'd end up taking that direction. I mean you're a spy working for the government, there had to be a game about infiltrating some terrorist group. As for conviction, that makes much sense if you played through double agent. That's story progression.

Could you please point out where I used the word "innovation"?

I was talking to BlindTortureKill, he said the novelty of innovation in some games wear out after 3 days(see: far cry 2)

Oh, woops. Quote him next time, though.

Perhaps your account was hijacked. Pretty sure if you contact them directly they can check into that and probably make some IP cross-reference to see if it's the case.

Oh yeah, forgot to say: Support sent me an e-mail; I explained the situation and they reset my pw. Hoorah.

Heh, turns out the game I was planning on buying isn't worth it, for the most part. Merchants of Brooklyn (M.O.B.), for the curious.

On another note, World of Goo is great fun.

So it turns out Konami are a bunch of pussies and drop a game I was actually getting hyped about.



Hopefully another publisher will pick this up so it can get released. I want to play it but I also do not want assholes like this



to get what they want.

Heaven help the "Stop The War Coalitions" website if this game ever is released. It will be getting trolled constantly with graphic youtube videos of the game set to a Bolt Thrower soundtrack by yours truly.

Six Days In Fallujah is going to be pussified anyway. They're not going to take it to the emotionally graphic state it needs to go to bear a different voice. It's just going to be another bad game.

I was having high hopes for the game. Atomic Games have a pretty nice track record as developers.
Maybe a new publisher will pick this one up and we will see how it goes.

Anyone for LittleBigPlanet?

XD

No Cable for the demo.

T51b, you gotta get some screens or something of the demo. I want to see what it actually looks like. I secretly just came. Like, twice.

So yeah, confirmed for Xbox360 Live and PSN. Very cool, I'll get a 360 now just for this.

Well, now that my initial nerdgasm is over with, I'm not entirely sure how much I care about this game anymore.

In other news, I've been playing through F.E.A.R.2, (I originally put it down for awhile about halfway through. Got bored.) and I have to say, I'm not entirely sure why I put it down the first time. This game is amazing. Graphically, the game is stunning, the soundtrack evokes a sense of mysterious suspense and action, the gore and blood is fucking superb, and the story is still as science fiction-y and psychologically fucked as I've come to expect from this series. Not to mention, it's really just a fun and creepy fucking game. I love the whole Armacham supersoldier/mech-suite warriors evil they've created for the series. I can't ever grow tired of giant mechs trying to kill me and neurologically controlled supersoldiers constantly around every corner.

I found FEAR 2 to be bland and absolutely boring. It no longer mixes in the actual creepy elements well enough to make the game special like the first was. The first game actually had me nervous fairly often, the second just began pissing me off any time my flashlight didn't work or epilepsy inducing ghosts showed up. After that, the gameplay is nothing special.

I think the only thing I did like about FEAR 2 was Snakefist's voice acting/script.

I am more impressed by the sound and visual design of the game than anything else. And besides, the first F.E.A.R. was pretty uninteresting halfway through. I've seen enough business plaza interiors in my life, thank you.

True, FEAR 2 had a much more varied environment.

Personally, I really don't care where I do my killing in a game though, as long as it's fun (which I did not find it to be in FEAR 2).

To each his own, I suppose. F.E.A.R.2 just feels like a better, more intense experience.

Anyone else heard of/excited for Singularity?

It's a FPS that's uses time travel and a time altering weapon as the basis of the gameplay. It looks like it will be a lot of fun and hopefully have some good puzzles.

Here's the trailer:

I've never heard of anything like this in a game before.
