Title: Your Game Status
Post by: Riku on June 14, 2004, 05:40:49 AM
I thought it would be cool to see the games we have all completed and those we haven\'t but intend to...someday;)  Perhaps this would give us the motivation to finish them.

We should stick to the current generation of systems, I\'m not going to include DC for myself because it would be a HUGE list.

Just take the space out of the tags if you want to use this format:

Are you refering to the final boss in Ninja Gaiden?There is an air striking move which if you keep repeating he is helpless.pretty weak compared to other bosses I must say.

Ryu, how was Crystal Chronicles?  Did the story ever pick up?  

Vexx is a game I rented and somewhat enjoyed...until I got to the swimming stage.  I might buy it someday if I find it in a bargain bin or something.
Title: Your Game Status
Post by: Ryu on June 14, 2004, 07:09:33 PM
CC was not worth the time and effort.  Actually, I\'d go as far as to say it\'s one of the worst Final Fantasy games ever.  People should not waste their time with this one.  Believe me -- I did it with 3 other people and they all agree.  Thankfully, Four Swords is so much fun, all is forgiven about that horrible CC crap.

Vexx isn\'t too bad at all really and I do agree that swimming was one of the worst parts, sorta like the swimming in Metal Gear Solid 2 though not quite as clunky.

Post by: Riku on June 14, 2004, 07:21:06 PM
It became quite redundant by year four and I just couldn\'t see any point in continuing...never did get to try it in multiplayer though.

I wasn\'t aware Four Swords had been released already!  Glad to know it\'s a good one.

Spotted Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball...*snickers*;)

At least BMX XXX isn\'t on there.  ;)

[Edit] -- I just wanted to say that this thread is working.  I\'m going through Ninja Gaiden right now and I\'m already up to chapter 7.  Heading to bed though so hopefully that baby should be in the bag by tomorrow.  Could Itagaki be anymore blatant with some of his references?  I mean, swallowing up the blonde girl with a tentacle monster and then showing her again all slimy, lest we forget of course the eternal springs in the shape of a prototype Xbox... Ugh.

Yeah, pretty much everybody I know agrees about FF:CC.

It\'s such a pretty game.. it seems like a waste..

If they just increased the combat-system/gameplay depth, made the stages bigger, removed the chalice and its limitations, added voice acting, and cut out at least half of the worthless cut-scenes.. it\'d be fine.

Tonight, Ninja Gaiden was added to the completed list and Psi-Ops was added to the incomplete list.  Hopefully, Psi Ops will be a lot more fun then Ninja Gaiden as I would think Ninja Gaiden for its poor camera deserves no more then an 8/10 on its score, but that\'s just me.

I\'m also working on Four Swords. It\'s funny how greatly the fun factor multiplies after you add just a 3rd player.

I haven\'t played with 4 yet, but based on the transition from 2P to 3P.. I\'d suspect it\'d be bliss.

Ratchet & Clank is on my complete list(with all 40 gold bolts!).  The game was more fun than I thought it could be.  I\'ll add R&C: Going Commando to my collection soon. [10/10]

Blood Rayne is added to my complete list.  I was ready for this game to be over about 5 hours in, right before things got ridiculous with the story line.  I don\'t even know what the game was about.  What I do know is that poor level design, a shoddy story, and shallow fighting mechanics make for a dull experience.  I wasn\'t even amused when Rayne shot the finger several times at the end.../shrugs shoulders. [5/10]

Finished Kingdom Hearts today including beating Sephiroth.Also unlocked the secret movie which is different from the one I downloaded some time ago on my PC :confused:

I thought the game would have showed me Cloud battling with Sephiroth after I beat him becuase I downloaded a clip a long time ago showing just that :(

Also is it me or is there a world that was left unexlpored?There is a world at the left of Traverse Town I dont remember visiting,

R&C:GC is so much fun, it just might be my favorite platform game this gen, beating out the original Jak&Daxter.
Title: Your Game Status

Finished Resident Evil:Code Veronica X
I liked the return of Wesker and a few specific enviroments that bring flashbacks of Resi1.The story was great.The execution of it sucked though as well as the music.Not scary at all.Just slightly more challenging than Resi 2 and 3.
......*remembers the atmosphere in Resi1*

I thought RE:CV was the easiest of the series, RE 2 being the most difficult

Mario Sunshine added to my incomplete list.  What the hell is wrong with Nintendo?  Why did they let something like a decent camera system slip?  Seriously, having to adjust it so I\'m not looking into a wall is frustrating.

Mario Sunshine added to my complete list.  No, I\'m not that quick.  I had borrowed the game a long time ago and had acquired around 50 shines and quit because I was frustrated.  I decided it\'s a game I wanted to complete so there ya go.  74 shines.  The game wouldn\'t have been half as difficult if it weren\'t for the camera being all screwy.  

While I\'m here, I had rented Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando and I got all the way to the last planet.  Had to return it before I could beat it.  I plan on waiting until it drops down to $20 to purchase it.  Highly recommended if you enjoyed the first one.

Yep.Less ammo, less powerful weapons, less aids and herbs zombies didnt fall so easily or sent back after a few shots. couldnt push them away (two bites could kill you), the Hunters sometimes killed you instantly, and two many narrow corridors.
Probably the most claustrophobic Resi.
I found Resi2 and Resi3 easier than CV though.Especially Res3.Probably its becuase its been a long time since I playied Resi2 thus I dont remember well how hard it was.

Added Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc to my collection.  

I\'m not all that impressed with it, definitely not as much fun as Rayman 2.  The camera does some pretty awkward things at times, I find myself controlling it most of the time.  I HATE that the enemies have guns now AND deflect Rayman\'s projectile.  Also, some of the stages are awfully dark not to mention they aren\'t all that intuitive.  

Glad it was only $20.

RE 0 is harder...

Mainly cause of the stupid way Capcom programmed the Partner system...

If you get grabbed by a zombie but don\'t get bitten cause your partner shot him off, you still take damage...

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE FREAKING POINT OF A PARTNER!!!

Ammo was even more scarce...
Title: Your Game Status
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on August 19, 2004, 10:35:07 PM
The original RE was easily the hardest. They all got pissier each time. I finished REmake not even having used my Magnum, about 40 shotgun rounds, 40 pistol rounds and about 8 First Aid sprays. Not to mention all the herbs. Bleh. Though that could be because I played the first to death. But 2, 3 and CV were easy as pie. Sweet sweet pie..... mmm...

Code Veronica, however, sucked.

Bringing back Wesker in such a gay way sucked.

You all suck.

Completed Rayman 3 for GC.

hmmmm...I\'m not sure where to start so I\'ll just type this as it comes to mind.

The humor from Rayman 2 was there although I think it became a bit much in certain areas.  I wanted to turn off Globox several times and even went into the options to turn down the fx all the way just so I didn\'t have to hear him.  The tinsies provided me with several laughs as did some of the enemies..."tear off his flesh" , "spit in his eye" , "make him write bad checks".  

The camera proved to be a nuisance(sp?) in most cases, even when I was moving it myself I could never get it where I wanted it.  Made jumping and hovering to different platforms far more of a chore than it should have been.  Manageable.  

Some of the stages just weren\'t fun, imo.  Each stage had basically the same objective of freeing the tinsies(sp?), however it wasn\'t always very clear where to go.  Add to that some of the stages were very dark and difficult to navigate.  Rayman 3 did have its\' moments and that\'s what kept me playing.

The enemies almost ruined the game.  Most of them had weapons and usually came in crowds (especially late in the game) making it impossible to defeat them without taking a hit.  (Those that didn\'t have weapons are invincible, it was only in one stage though) Also I don\'t like that their guns could reach 3-4 times further than my projectile.  Then again the game gives you alot of life to counter this, I didn\'t die once in the entire game.  

The graphics are beautiful however the game isn\'t always consistent, parts of some stages just seemed to be ignored while others were absolutely stunning.

Rayman 2 was awesome and you\'d think that the three years between the sequel they would have made something a bit more impressive.

Not the worst game I\'ve played.  3/5

Devil May Cry 2 complete.  I really can\'t complain since it only cost me 15 bucks but the game is kinda short and and it definitely gets a repetitive feeling that I didn\'t get from the first game.

meh...

Almost done with Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.  I\'m at the last boss and it\'s kicking my ass.  I haven\'t been lucky enough to get a target-all forbidden and I can\'t seem to get my hands on a card to include it.

Took Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles off my incomplete list, I\'m not going to play it...I\'d rather forget it ever happened.

Whoah, this is a nice idea, but I think it\'d be too much of a hassle for me to try and make a complete list. The list would also be rather subjective, as I take "finishing" games pretty seriously: Viewtiful Joe is not complete before all difficulty levels bow down before me with perfect V performaces; Devil May Cry on DMD still has a couple of S-ranks missing; there are 3 songs in Amplitude that I haven\'t yet scored 4 bars in; etc...

I feel like a loonie at times, who in the hell needs to have 255 stats in Final Fantasy X, for example. And the game\'s a piece of...

Aww to hell with it, I\'ll try to compile some sort of a list :

Completed... in a way...
GBA
Yoshi\'s Island (still a dozen or so stages to complete with a perfect score)
Castlevania : Circle of the Moon (4th playthrough, thief mode I think?)
Sonic Advance (ran through the bugger, not as good as I hoped)
Super Mario World (still not 100% complete, but I did that several times on the SNES...)
Metroid Fusion (Hard mode not complete)

GameCube
Eternal Darkness (all gods worshipped...)
Super Mario Sunshine (missing about half a dozen blue coins)
Metroid Prime (100% everything)
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil

PS2
Dark Chronicle
Devil May Cry
Frequency
Amplitude
Final Fantasy X
Burnout
Burnout 2
Maximo
SSX
Rez
Resident Evil CV X
Tekken 4
Tekken Tag Tournament
Zone of the Enders
Metal Gear Solid 2
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
Kuri Kuri Mix
Jak & Daxter
Ratchet & Clank
Sly Raccoon
...

This is taking too long, and I don\'t even have a clue which games I own anymore. Aww, my poor collection residing over a 100 kilometres away from me... damned university!

I\'ve played Gunvalkryie before and it pissed me off, but I\'m willing to give it another shot.  I kept dying at the boss on top of Nalfgar\'s Pit.

I\'m looking forward to playing another Panzer Dragoon:D

I was also looking into some other Xbox games since I missed out on the past two years.  I think I\'ll pick up Chronicles of Riddick after I\'m done with Halo 2...

I found Quantum Redshift on Xbox for $5, and after having spent a few hours with it I can definitely say it\'s not worth that $5.  

I really expected more since this game is from ex-members of Psygnosis, makers of the excellent Wipeout games.  Wipeout is fun because it\'s fast and, to beat it, demands precise manuevers and handling, which is made possible due to drifting.  Hit a wall, you slow down, hit an opponent you slow down.  It\'s all about perfecting the skills of racing, and Wipeout is great because of that.

Curly Monsters, the developers of Quantum Redshift, threw out all of what makes Wipeout great and went their own route.  No longer do you have to worry about slowing down if you hit a wall or an opponent, and this is where I think the biggest problem is.  There is no incentive to learn the tracks, you can simply boost out of your mistakes.  The game is fast, faster than Wipeout could ever hope to be, but the sense of victory just isn\'t as there after a race.

Weapons is what the game is centered around, and the opponents constantly bombard you with different projectiles.  These do slow you down, and quite a bit.  This wouldn\'t be so much of a problem except to defend yourself you must first build up your shield, then you must activate it anytime you need to use it (lasts a few seconds).  However, you can only collect up to 3 shield uses at a time which, later on, proves to be insufficient as the opponents get very aggressive....

I could rant somemore but I\'ll just leave it.  Stick with Wipeout.

Finished Doom 3 a while ago. Cute as a kitten and as daft as one too. Still enjoyed it rather much. Seems like it was a one-time affair, since no matter how I try, I can\'t play through the game a second time on a harder setting, no matter how I try to convince myself that it\'ll be "fun"... Pity. Next stop: Half-Life 2.

Metroid Prime 2 was a great experience with some really nice moments. It lacked the "WTF it\'s 3D but still Metroid whoa dude!?" impact factor, and instead felt like "Yay more Prime..." Which is nowhere near a bad thing. I\'m some hours away from a 100% run, but do I really care enough? I could still get a decent price for it in exchange for Resident Evil 4.

Metal Gear Solid 3. Sorted. It totally blew me away in many respects, but as someone already noted, the gameplay felt a bit dated. Some great little improvements that were sadly underdeveloped (like being able to tilt the view around with the other stick.) Loved the characters, loved the story, loved (/hated) the gameplay... One of my favourite games ever.

I found Shenmue II for $10 and Soul Calibur 2 for $15.  Great deals on great games.

So far I\'ve only watched the Shenmue movie to refresh myself on what was going on since I played the original over 4 years ago, and now I miss my Dreamcast again.:(

Soul Cally 2 is alot of fun, I haven\'t played with this series since the Dreamcast release.  Glad to pick it up again.:)

Ahhh. Dreamcast. I miss the insanely loud fan. :) It had lots of great games, though...and Shenmue is in a class all its own.
Title: Your Game Status
Post by: Hawke on May 18, 2005, 01:45:46 AM
Class of "not actually being much of a game"? Shenmue was/is a horrible game, and at the same time, utterly and totally spellbinding to a point of total absurdity. "Ah, I thinks me will haves a sodiepop. Glug glug." Few a  game has left me as hungry for continuation as Shenmue 2. The end was just... GRAARH!

My DC used to go cuckoo when I played Soul Calibur, the whirring and clicking and flying nuts and bolts and... Still it worked fine :p


Enough reminiscing! On topic : Bye bye F-Zero GX and Metroid Prime 2, hello Resident Evil 4. What a blast that was. Silly plot and characters again (it\'s Resi who gives a flying duck), but one fact really made this game: it\'s actually FUN to play. Didn\'t see that one coming. The mini-games keep me coming back for quick entertaining bouts of gory action.

Also, this month I\'ve been mostly wearing porridge, while playing No One Lives Forever. Dashing oldie. I\'ve had it for years, but my old comp couldn\'t handle it (yes, it was a pile of assorted twigs with a midget inside).

Finished SH4 5 days ago.Pretty good I must say.Certaintly a different exprerience than the other silent hill games and I liked the new ideas.But for some reason it didnt feel as sinister to me as the previous games.
 I found it more challenging though than SH2 and 3

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Xbox)

I\'ve been meaning to pick this game up for a while but I was always waiting to find a good deal on it.  It doesn\'t get much better than $9.99 for a like-new game.  

I\'ve only played it for about thirty minutes so I can\'t give too solid of an impression, but I\'ve enjoyed it thus far.  The controls are tight, the graphics are nice, and the platforming aspect of it is just what I\'ve been looking for.

Forgot about this thread. Right now I started XIII and got to like level 3 and probably gave up for good... I grow tired of games lately...

I started Beetle Adventure Racing and beat Novice and Intermediate. Working on Pro to open the best cars or whatever.

I have a couple games I haven\'t tried yet.

Pokemon Puzzle League and Space Station Silicon Valley on N64. And Sonic Gems Collection on GameCube. This has Sonic CD and some other obscure Sonic games. I should give it a try... I have the other collection and I\'ve never even played it. I should really have a Sonic day to catch up on all I missed out on never having a Genesis...

I haven\'t really had time to play games lately, with college starting again and all. I\'m kind of bored with this generation now it seems. :/ I haven\'t even finished the last 2 games I bought. My consoles are just collecting dust. The only thing I\'m playing right now from time to time is WOW and at the rate I\'m going, I\'ll be a level 60 in 10 years.

Just bought katamari a few days ago.  Most addicting game in quite some time.  Kind of dissapointed on the length of the game.  I WANT MORE.

I remember Beetle Adventure Racing being a really fun racing game.  Good choice!

Space Station Silicon Valley is a pretty cool game.  A bit weird to first start playing but in the end it wasn\'t a bad game to be strangely addicted to.

I beat Kirby Canvas Curse recently. Tried to get into RE4 again. Found the shotgun this time and still gave up. I hate not liking shooters. I\'m no good at it. I was blasting away zombies but there were too many... Maybe I should just run away, I dunno.

I should try Katamari, too. Does it matter which one?

What else.. I dunno, I made it up to level 8-3 on SMB the other day where I ran out of lives. Bastard jumping hammer brothers.

I\'m with mm on this one. Sometimes 40 reviewers can be wrong (?), but I wouldn\'t want to spend more than $15-$20 for something so seemingly average.

As a rule.

Title: Your Game Status
Post by: Unicron! on October 11, 2005, 06:50:33 AM
They only have 11 reviews there not 40.That average is made only out of 11 reviews.Only 2 of them are below 70%.

Its hard to judge.
 2 above 90%
 3 from the range of 80-88%
 4 at 70%
and 2 below 70%.

Kind of ambiguous.That average isnt informative.We should wait for more reviews.

Also The sample is small.71% is the smallest value of the variation.

Its between 71.3% - 76.4%.

Cant say if its good or bad yet

70% on GR is average for a "name" game.

By average, I mean.. a rental. Only buy if you enjoy the genre.

In the case of B&W2.. you can\'t really rent it. It\'s probably worth your time, but would do a lot better in my mind if Peter Molyneux wouldn\'t set the bar so high for Lionhead.

I don\'t think he hyped B&W2 a lot, though. It\'s just a sequel to a flawed "masterpiece"..

Wrapped up Phoenix Wright. Bought DDR: Mario Mix today. I have largely missed out on the DDR series, but I love it. The Mario minigames are stupid, but the dancing is cool and there\'s a few Mario themes thrown in.

It\'s not as hard as I\'ve seen in arcades and I\'m good enough to hang in there on the Very Hard mode. It\'s a lot of fun.

Though I\'m sore as shit, heh. Played too much today. :)
