Nartwak Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I'd go with Paper Mario. Twilight Princess left me a little flat.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Rainbow Six Vegas... easily the best shooter all categories since I dont know when. Ive been playing for an hour and it just makes me want to run over to all my friends and scream at them to try it.

Rosbjerg Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Baldur's Gate 2 testing mod stuff. same here.. it's totally messed up my game twice now - thank God it's quick to install! Fortune favors the bald.
Dark_Raven Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 FoT: BoS still. I lost two of my high ranking soldiers. One of them stepped on a mine, blew themself's up, took out another near them and almost ended my life. It had been a while since my last save. :angry: Save often I say, that was too close. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Oh come on, you're a hardcore gamer. You can live with a few fatalities.
Dark_Raven Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Noobs I don't mind losing, not my high ranking ones. Those girls were cool. High stats in small weapons, doctor and sneak. They were one rank below me. It's hard to break in a good obedient soldier. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
karka Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 After playing about 5 hours, I can say that Dragon Quest 8 is one of the best rpgs(Not only JRPGs) I've ever played. Yes, it's really that good.

I say suck it up and play on. My best memories from games like it and Jagged Alliance 2 were when I decided to no longer reload after something bad happens.
Sand Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) My roommate is playing that game right now. His main to a rocket to the head last night. A good explosion. I was surprised that his character lived till he told me he cheated with the item replication bug. I should patch his game while he isn't looking.

mkreku Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 After playing about 5 hours, I can say that Dragon Quest 8 is one of the best rpgs(Not only JRPGs) I've ever played. Yes, it's really that good. It IS the best RPG I've ever played on the Playstation 2. And I envy you for getting to play it for the first time right now. I'd replay it, but it has ZERO replayability.

Llyranor Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 How different is it from previous DQ's? Or is it the amount of polish the game has? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Tale Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I was going to be playing Vanguard, but I think my video card is going pear shaped. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

They get killed that's their problem. They shouldn't have walked ahead of me, traps expert, in the first place. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Llyranor Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 True, it's their problem. I mean, it's not like it was due to player incompetence or anything. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Dark_Raven Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Stupid AI. The AI is worse than Icewind Dale's. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
mkreku Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 How different is it from previous DQ's? Or is it the amount of polish the game has? I've only played Dragon Warrior 1 and 2, so I don't really have much to compare to (they were basically clones of Final Fantasy), but the thing that grabbed me by my hairy balls was the story. And it just wouldn't let go!! Also, the world is huge, beautiful and you're free to explore it to your heart's content. The game is extremely polished. One BIG warning though: If you can't stand ridiculous amounts of difficult random encounters, this game is not for you! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Lare Kikkeli Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 EUIII. Went through the tutorials last night, and it seemed like the game i expected CIV to be (not having played any of the previous Civ games before). Can't wait until i get back home.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I've only played Dragon Warrior 1 and 2, so I don't really have much to compare to (they were basically clones of Final Fantasy) It's actually the other way around Final Fantasy was trying to follow on Dragon Warrior (Quest in the Japanese official release) and its success. When Dragon Warrior proved to be a hit, Hironobu Sakaguchi took much "inspiration" from Enix's title when he decided to create something that would save Square from potential bankrupcy.
Dark_Raven Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 You should have had your character scout ahead searching for mines. Stupid AI I tell ya. There's no damned pause button either. :angry: Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

One BIG warning though: If you can't stand ridiculous amounts of difficult random encounters, this game is not for you! Well, the game isn't for me anyway since I don't have a PS2, but hearing about the series getting some good polish is good news. I'm looking forward to DQ9, which is - incidentally - coming out on the DS. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Hurlshort Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Did I mention Vanguard? I spent the last few nights completing an 8 hour diplomacy quest, but I was handsomely rewarded at the end with a horse, and fancy bag, and the title of Knight.
