I've been visiting my past lately when it comes to games. Between Diablo 2 and the Baldur's Gate games, I am fucked when it comes to time management.

Gonna pick up Reach later today, the deal at Walmart is too good to pass.

You won't be dissapointed. As I said before, I always felt Halo was a bit overrated but I absolutely love Reach.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is pure fucking 2d-platforming undead-killing fun

 

[Chimaera]

This looks promising.

Everyone knows that Crash Bandicoot 2 is the best platformer of that era.

And it had the best cart racing game.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

I agree totally. I miss my PS1

 

[mutantllama]

Alright, well glad we agree.

They also seemed to have aged well also, which is doesn't tend to happen with a lot of games from that era.

crash was the whole reason I bought PS1 plus it has huge nostalgia factor for me

It sucks...the weapons hit detections are garbage...and the DMR acts like a god damn sniper rifle from far range it's ridiculous. I'm a die hard halo fan, and I will play this game, but I think it's extremely stupid with armor abilities, etc...

Firefight is awesome as fuck though. And the Campaign was better than I thought it would be.

Reach is terrible. The DMR is inconsistent, armor abilities are dumb, and the lack of a MLG/hardcore playlist ruin it for me. Plus the maps are horrible.

 

[mutantllama]

Not like Halo was extremely competitive to begin with.

This on the other hand

it amazes me on how many people decided to show up and watch that

 

[mutantllama]

I don't see how it's much different then watching lets say a football game.

Can anyone else not really fathom how this could possibly be representative of the gameplay? It seems heavily scripted and features no HUD, and goes through such a shitload of scenery that I find it hard to believe they could make a whole game like this.

fooball is far more pathetic than any video game tournament.

 

[Valerie]

If by football you mean soccer, then yes.

 

[mutantllama]

both bore me



basketball on the other hand

 

[Kara-Shehr]

hockey is one of the few pro sports out there that doesn't put me to sleep so it trumps all in my book

 

[Srontgorrth]

Bowling is where its at.
