Mint, choki and video games.

[Mint]

This is a thread for everyone to discuss Video Games.

Is anyone playing Disgaea right now?? ^-^ its amazing game!!! Its roleplaying/strategy where the main character is an overlord of hell o_o and needs to get his throne back. Tons of hours of gameplay and characters. Oh and did I mention its a comedy?

Choki - what games do u have?

[choki]

OMG!!! You really created this thread
I was only joking when I said it

My games are mainly in PS1 platform. For RPG, I have Suikoden 1 & 2, Final Fantasy V, VI, VIII, Brave fencer Musashi, Metal Gear Solid, Digimon and many many more...

metal gear solid isn't an rpg
as for PSX i have Spyro the Dragon-1 and 2
some stupid stuff like james bond games and nhl hockey
but i mostly play PC games
btw there's gonna be a sequel to Star Wars-KOTOR

[Mint]

Choki - u only have PS1?

My PS1 games are:
Chrono Cross
Legend of Mana
Lunar:Eternal Blue
Valkyrie Profile
FF8
Threads of fate
Rhapsody

Have u played any of those (xcept for FF8)? Those are SUCH a good games!!!!!

Suikoden - I only played IIIrd one - that was really good ^.^

Krum - Spyro was the first game I bought, but I called it "Spyro the Drunken Dragon" cause I could never guide Spyro straight XD
Never finished that game, i cant play adventure games.

Eh??? Metal Gear Solid is a RPG. You play Solid Snake on an one man infiltration mission, trying to rescue the hostages and disarm Metal Gear.
That's role playing, right?

Have u played any of those (xcept for FF8)?

Nope but I heard a lot about Crono Series and Valkyrie Profile

Spyro the dragon...I played the sample version and it was one hell of a dizzy game to play especially when you rotate the view!!!

[Krum]

if you put it this way, even our dear Spyro is a RPG-you're a dragon...i acosiate rpgs with enchansing your character.By the way i think i have played Legend of Mana but not the psx version...i played one and two on...was it a SNES.Yep, and now i am playing it by a SNES emulator for PC

[Ferrus]

Is anyone playing Disgaea?

On which format is that game? Snes? PS1?

[Krum]

if its a strategy, it should be for PC...but it's for PS2, which i don't own

[choki]

Does most games end up in PC format?

[fierce]

A lot of the time they do end up in PC format... Unless they are licenced only for one console and that's it. But the company that owns the rights to the game may feel that releasing the game on other platforms would increase revenue for that particular title. Althought sometimes the game is not as successful on the other platforms because it may have been designed with one in mind, and the conversion to others is less than satisfactory. But if the decision is made from the beginning to make the game for multiple platforms, then the end product will be much better than if the decision was made after the original game was produced and based only on popularity or revenue.

Blah blah blah. But what would i know? I only own a Nintendo 64 and that's sitting on a shelf, not doing anything. I was really best at Zelda: Ocarina of time. I loved that game! But now I mainly play PC sim PC games: The sims, age of empires, age of mythology, zoo tycoon.... I also downloaded an emulator for old snes games, but i mainly play mario bros 3 cos i used to play it when i was young and it's fun.

My sister, Dark_Phoenix, has a PS2... She owns Kingdom Hearts, HP&COS, Monkey Island (not sure the entire title) and the Eye Toy. I used to borrow a PS2 from the video store my sister worked at, and my favourite game in the world was Grand Theft Auto, then Vice City as well.

Yeah, Metal Gear Solid is not an RPG as far as I know.

Ferrus - Disgaea is a PSII game. Most of the RPG do not end up in a PC format.

U guys should definitely invest in PSII if u like RPG games. Majority (lol, like 89%) of RPGs come out on Playstation ^-^

Oh and they have a new game now La Pucelle - I bought it yesterday, it looks sooo cool XD (its super funny, and the main character is a girl for once)


Choki - u should get Chrono Cross!!!! ^-^ Valkyrie Profile is super good too - but its a "rare" game so its more expensive. <_<'

[Ferrus]

Yeah, I know PS2 is the best machine right now in terms of variety of games, the problem is that I´m lacking the capital to make the investment *sigh* anyway, when summer is ver iI might have enough money saved to buy one.

[choki]

Yeah...I mean it is not that worth to buy a PS II now when PS III is going to come out in a few years time (maybe 1 or 2)

Lol, I'm busy with my anime watching, manga reading and games playing and of course...my course work!!! I doubt I have enough time to invest on playing more games

[Mint]

Well, Im sorta skeptical with PS3. THere are soo many PSII games in works right now - i highly doubt its gonna come out as yearly as 2 years. And it definitely wont come out in 1 year. <_<'

TIme - yeah. I got PSII as soon as it came out (at that point I had time for it... in college) but now I rarely play. But I still think its the best thing!!! ^-^

[Krum]

it's just that japs are very good game designers
