anyone watch the new GTAIV trailer? :Dqueen_valentine

I just watched it. It looks realll cool :). heh heh, it's scary how much Liberty City really looks like NY in this game. I hope the music and the radio stations are as good in this as in the other games.

To add on to what Chronaroth bought up, some of my biggest gaming experiences were:

Playstation: Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania:SOTN (I swear that game was as addictive as Chinese food), Resident Evil 2, Bloody Roar 2 (another insanely fun game), Rival Schools, Xenogears

Nintendo 64: Goldeneye 007 and Mario 64

Sega Genesis: Beyond Oasis:D and the Sonic the Hedgehog series (mainly Sonic 3 and Knuckles)

Super Nintendo: Conta 3, Final Fight 2, Megaman X series, and Chrono Trigger

Nintendo: Astrynax, Demon Sword, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, Friday the 13th

(Couldnt find a decent pic of the game)

Rival Schools

Beyond Oasis :)

yeah!!! im real excited for GTAIV...awww i remember playing the super old ones on the PC. the multiplayer was so much fun! XDqueen_valentine

I used to watch my cousin play the real old ones. It shocked the hell out of me seein' all the crimes he was doing.

[QUOTE="queen_valentine"]anyone watch the new GTAIV trailer? :DFenian_lostsoul

I saw it it's awesome, I guess it's a good thing they took their time to make the game better.

Ah and I started playing TLoZ A link to the past for the snes, it's been a while since I last played a snes game :P

I finally started Bioshock. It's pretty interesting. I like the plasmids(those are like magic), especially the telekinesis.

The water effects are amazing, and the physics are great.

To add on to what Magus brought up:

Sega Genesis: Sonic, Vectorman, Mega Bomberman, and Columns

Playstation 1: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, and Legend of Dragoon

I would try to add a pic of each....but GS is being glitchy with the pics :evil:

To continue on the theme that Magus started, some of my greatest gaming experiences are:

Commodore 64: Retrograde, Armalyte, C.R.E.A.T.U.R.E.S. (Clyde Radcliff Exterminates All The Unfriendly, Repulsive, Earth-ridden Slime ;) ).

Sega Megadrive (aka Genesis): Thunderforce IV, Dragon's Fury, Gunstar Heroes, Revenge of Shinobi.

SNES: The Legend of Zelda: LttP, Super Castlevania IV, Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Super Mario World (and so many others, too).

Playstation: Vagrant Story, Castlevania: SotN, Final Fantasy VII.

N64: Super Mario 64, Goldeneye007, Lylat Wars, Blast Corps.

Arcade: Vulcan Venture (aka Gradius II), Salamander, X-Multiply, Raiga: Strato Fighter, Thunderforce AC.

I finally started Bioshock. It's pretty interesting. I like the plasmids(those are like magic), especially the telekinesis.

awwww lucky....I hope I get it for Christmas. XD

I'll add onto Magus's thing eventually....feeling too lazy at the moment. :P

Bioshock was a great game! I plan on re-playing it again when I get a chance.

Plasmids have some of the coolest effects. Not only graphically but it adds a lot of strategy to some of the boss fights and when there are many enemies to deal with.

Destroying Big Daddies is hard but leaves you with a great feeling when you succeed! :)

I like the lightning plasmids. It is fun to use these in the water filled areas.

I told myself not to attack the Big Daddies or the Little Sisters. Will I still get the good ending?

Continuing the theme magus started

Ps1: FF7, Grandia, Grand Turismo 2, tekken 3, Xenogears.

Ps2: FF10, DQ8, KH1.

You will want to attack the Big Daddies and rescue all the little sisters to get the good ending. Don't harvest even one or you will get the bad ending.

I had all the plasmids and upgrades by the end of the game but it is tougher early on with less adam to buy plasmids.

Also adding to Magus' post

PS1: FF8, FF7

PS2: Grandia 3, FF10, FF12, Kindom Hearts 1 and 2, XenoSaga, Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2

crap-my Wii broke-its artifacting everywhere-it still plays the games but random games have black dots everywhere. Anyone know why?Cronaroth

I've never heard anybody have that problem before :? Have you checked the Nintendo forums to see if anybody else has had this problem? Or done a good ole' Google search?

Awww, oh no!! That sounds terrible! I've never heard of a Wii doing that before...I agree with Kuja - check the forums and look up Google as well as the Wii forum here on GS.

Yeah. It's very similar to Zelda or Alundra, just more linear. It was still fun for it's time though.

Apparently the GPU is fryingCronaroth

ehh thats really bad are you gonna have to replace the whole system?

This is an absolutely brilliant game in every way, I'm sure you'll love it! BTW it won Game of the Year on Spike's Game Awards (as well as some others) ENJOY!!! :)

This may be the first instance of a warranty actually being of any use (outside of the X360, of course ;) ). Normally these electronic goods are designed to self-destruct the moment the warranty expires. :?;)

quick question how many years long is the playstation 3 warranty in the States?

hmm, that's not long enough.............(at least ps3 owners dont have to worry about the red rings of death)

has anyone here played star ocean 3 or jade cocoon 2?

I've beaten SO1, 2 and 3 several times each. I tried Jade Cacoon and didn't get very far. Not my thing. If you like SO3 you should try SO2. Imo SO3 was good but SO2 is just plain perfection.

/fanboy off

1 year I believeCronaroth

It's the same regardless of which store do you buy it from? the one I have is for five years I think.

hmm, that's not long enough.............(at least ps3 owners dont have to worry about the red rings of death)

has anyone here played star ocean 3 or jade cocoon 2?

TriEdgeFury26

Neither but if everything goes well I'm definitely getting SO1 for the psp.

I've played SO3 multiple times, great game.

Fenian_lostsoul

One year. The only console that changed(warranty wise), is the 360, which is 3 years.

I've played both. I thought that both were pretty good, too. :)

I got FEAR (platinum edition) for xmas! ^_^ I know it's an old game but....I still wanted it! XD I think I might install it very shortly and play it. I am a wuss when it comes to scary-ish games though but I love it at the same time! :lol:

Also...I played some Phantom Hourglass too. Got to the Ice Temple. Didn't go in yet, just arrived on it. I can't believe it's taking me this long to finish it. I am so bad at finishing games. :P

I'm bad about finishing games too. :P examples: FFIV at last battle...yet to finish :P , FFVIII basically to last stage of the game...yet to finish, Folklore...far too much to do.... It doesn't help I keep getting new games that draw my attention away....right now Luminous Arc is doing that job very well. :lol:

You have to finish PH, it's great!

Luckily for me I don't have that problem because I don't buy games that often... I guess that's a good thing... :P

I HATE not finishing games, which is why I finish every game I play before I start a new one XDLady_Bahamut

I wish I could do that! Instead I end up with 4 or 5 games being "actively" played. Usually at least one or 2 fall off my list. Right now that is LoZ: Wind Waker because I'm tired of all the temples I need to visit and sailing every where!

I want to finish it to see the ending before I start PH but it is getting boring! :(

I'm at the wind temple escorting the next person to the center. Has anyone finished this? Does it get better after this temple?

Blue Dragon and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is now sucking up a big chunk of my time on the big consoles. (FF12:RW the rest ;) )

In a word, "no".

I'm a big fan of the Zelda series, but Windwaker was a bit of a let down, I'm afraid. The "dungeoneering" is as good as ever, but the game was padded out with obscene amounts of very tedious sailing to make up for the lack of length.
