[Trylakos]

is yoshi's island DS released over there? I plan on picking it up today or tommorow. It looks extremely awesome

 

[swizzlenuts]

I just got Neverwinter Nights 2, anybody else play it. So far the camera view is really pissing me off, along with some other small things, but I like the addition of the Boulder's Gates traveling thing.

You know what game rules my face? X-COM UFO Defense!

Terror from the deep and Apocalypse sucked ass, but The original X-COM is a great game. I agree fully sir.

no not yet but youd have to be pretty retarded to buy it in sweden since its seriously the equivalent of $70 instead of $35

i ordered it from canada

 

[AsModEe]

right now the ps3 doesn't have the best launch titles around, but the same could have been said for the xbox 360. Just wait a few months and it'll be worth the 600$

 

[skeptik]

It'll be worth the $300 I pay for it 3 years from now.

I was thinking about getting a Wii, until I saw the graphics for Call of Duty 3.

 

[SteveO)))]

What can I say, the game is breathtaking. I'm 25 hours-ish into it. The world is set in Ivalice (same world as Final Fantasy Tactics). It's massive, very massive...even by Final Fantasy standard. The game has a very strong medieval feel to it, as opposed to FFVII for exemple. So far, the game focus is much more on the gameplay than the story. The battle system is my favorite. No turn-based and no random encounter this time around. Graphic-wise, the game is simply astonishing*. Definitely the best looking PS2 game as far as I'm concerned. Oh and it's much harder than any other Final Fantasy I played (VI, VII, VIII, IX and X).

My copy is currently sitting in Ohio, along with my PS2, until Christmas

I also really want to play Guitar Hero II

awesome, it is getting good reviews from several gamesites which is good, its been considered close to the original but with enough different stuff to make it its own game

Awesome! Have fun, it's one hell of a game.

the problem with the wii is that there's only one good game right now, and that's Zelda.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Awesome. I just found footage of one of my favorite SNES games.

 

[E-bortion]

Yeah I only have 3 games for DS right now:

Super Mario 64 DS, Final Fantasy 3, and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. All three which are fucking sick. Also preordered Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. All hail 2d Castlevania. Still looking to get my hands on an actual copy of Symphony of the night.

what do you mean by this?

I've got it, and Krig does too. The camera doesn't bother me since you can move it almost anywhere up and down. Sometimes when you go inside a structure the camera is all wacky but it's easily fixable. I haven't gone too far out into the actual game world but so far it is kind of like Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale. Nice addition but it's not unexpected since some of the guys at Obsidian were directly repsonsible for those classic games.

 

[dorian gray]

Just out of curiosity, if one wanted a PS3, how would one go about getting it? Couldn't you just order on on the net and wait a few months? Also, what's so great about the PS3 that people can't just order the much cheaper XBOX 360?

you probably could place an order for one and receive it when it becomes available. i don't know for sure though. i've seen some comparisons between Xbox 360 and PS3 about how well games that are on both consoles played. Xbox 360 won in every instance. it was only 5 titles though. PS3 also has hardware/software issues too and there are a lot of people who are pretty upset about it. if you actually plan on getting one i'd wait until they get all of that mess sorted out. PS3 has blu-ray playability, which is supposedly the biggest selling point. if the blu-ray line of media doesn't take off then Sony will have shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

The PS3 will probably have better Japanese publisher support, better exclusive titles, and more features. If you want an almost comparable (a similar hard drive, HD support (and it'll only be for movies, not games), bluetooth, etc) 360 you'll have to spend nearly as much if not more. Plus, Blu-ray is bound to win out over HD-DVD. Also, you get a controller that has motion sensitivity like that of the Wii.
