What game are you playing?

[Cherry]

No kidding.  I want easy access to the Johto starters that doesn't require me having Emerald, thanks.

[Winged Warrior]

They should just make a game...

Start out in the original.
Fill out your pokedex, defeat the elite four...
Get your national pokedex... (or in this case SUB NATIONAL)

Start out in the Second reagon
Fill out your pokedex, Defeat the elete four...
Get the next pokedex

SO ON SO FOURTH.

I get the whole sales pitch of 2-3 different (VERSIONS) But I'm damned tired of buying a new game the next time Gamefreak decides they have made fifty or so new characters (or lack there of) to throw in.

I want to go through the entire world with my squirtle.

 I don't mind "catching them all," but I don't want to be forced to use poorly created characters in my party.

I really think that instead of forcing out the newest and poorest quality of monsters, they should stick with what they have and lump it all together. There would be 99+ hours of game play. They could make it where you roam the entire map multilayer and encounter battles separately or together depending on range. They could even make it a local area MMO, based off of registered area codes, or 6 man rooms. They could work on post-elete 4 game play, and their never-cleaver mini games. They could work on character customization. They could re-define how everyone sees pokeman.

No.

They have to create about 100 new pokeman. Created by designers that I can tell quite frankly don't give a ##### anymore. take 50 of the characters from the previous games and throw them in for familiarity reasons. Sell a WHOLE NEW stratagy guide. Sell a whole new "National Pokedex" book. Then all they need to do is LAUGH... all the way to the #####ING BANK.

-.-

Then they start again.


Back on topic, I just finished Leaf Green... The 151 classic are still the best.

[Kamon]

I've been playing Pokémon Diamond and God Hand. A few more runs through and I might attempt to start Hard Mode again for God Hand.

[Majikn]

There was a remake of the first Pokemon game?! Damn I haven't been paying attention. I almost want to get it now, too.

If they remake GS that'd be the last Pokemon game I'd ever expect to be good enough to buy, I think. I was so into that game, I played it for the longest time. But I never finished playing Pearl, I got so bored of it.

[preventerWIND]

You seriously haven't heard of FireRed and LeafGreen?

[Majikn]

I have heard of those games... but they were just names to me. I never put any sort of thought into what "FireRed" and "LeafGreen" as names would imply, much less looked them up for any sort of confirmation on what they were about.

[Winged Warrior]

Yeah, they are the originals.

Once you get your national in pearl, you can trade over the old school to you DS game... making Pearl so much more worth the time and money.

[Abominator]

I just got Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Braid on Xbox arcade.

Both are very worthy of your purchase.

[ASR]

I really, really want to get Bionic Commando: Rearmed, but I really don't feel like buying any Microsoft Points. Maybe sometime.

[Mikero]

To be honest guys, Pokemon Ranger isn't that bad. I'd never BUY it, but it's alright for light play. And I'm someone who hates a lot of Pokemon after Gold/Silver. Although I have to say FireRed and LeafGreen are probably the best ideas they ever had, as the Advance games had a great new look and stuff like that but Red and Blue were the best Pokemon games ever.

[Johncarllos]

I've read about braid.

I wanna try it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I played Team Fortress 2 today.

Why didn't I ever realize how awesome it was before?

[saldite]

I'm playing through SMT3:Nocturne for the first time. It's okay. The story is really slow, the gameplay seems no different from most other rpg's out there, and I honestly don't get how this game is suppose to be hard. It all seems pretty easy to me. All in all, I'd only reccomend buying this if you can find it cheap. It's definitely not worth the hundreds of dollars people want for it (I think some of the highest prices I've seen for it go into the $500 range). I was lucky when I went to buy it. I found it for $20 new.

[Fatso]

I played Team Fortress 2 today.

Why didn't I ever realize how awesome it was before?

It's okay, not everyone can immediately appreciate its awesomeness.

I decided to finally go about finishing up with Metroid Prime 3, after a six-month hiatus.

EDIT: Screw that, I'm playing Mega Man 1 on VC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!1!1one

I've already completed Bomb Man through Elec Man, going to take on the impossible Ice Man stage after a break.

[ChaosVortex]

Mega Man Legends 2 lololol

I gotta take some hillbilly twins to a base.

[Slugkid]

If you pick up those flying reaberbot thingys, you can FLYYYYYYyy.

[Speed Racer]

TOO HUMAN! And it kicks awesome ass!

[Abominator]

I played the demo for all of 5 minutes.

Horrible.

[Mikero]

Too Human is it's NAME?

[Abominator]

Yes, and bland, derivative, sliding around the floor is it's game!

[Snare]

I'm playing the first Paper Mario for some reason.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

'Cause it's awesome and more up beat than the other two, duh.

[ChaosVortex]

I liked the 2nd one just a tiny bit more.

Super Paper Mario, not as much.

[ASR]

Super Paper Mario is just lame in every direction.

[NovaMan XP]

I liked Super Paper Mario up to Chapter 6.

Actually I started getting tired of it at Chapter 5. I haven't even played it since stopping at Chapter 6. I think I stopped as soon as I got Galaxy and forgot about it.

I have no intentions of ever playing it again, I should probably sell it...

God. I can't believe I bought TWO games on the Wii that I want to return. Mario Party 8 and Super Paper Mario. And yet I haven't returned MMX7 yet.

[Speed Racer]

I played the demo for all of 5 minutes.

Horrible.

Aside from the greatness of Jet Set Radio, do we ever agree on anything?

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Jet Set Radio is epic.

[ASR]

FINALLY GOT BIONIC COMMANDO: REARMED.

DO NOT DISTURB.

BECAUSE IT'S #####ING AWESOME.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I beat MegaMan 4 (FIRST TIME) and 5 on my ride today.

Yeah, I beat MegaMan 3 a while ago.

I finally understand why you guys call Inafune "Inafking" now. >_>

[NovaMan XP]

I've never called him Inafking. But I have seen that name alot of times before...

[ASR]

"Inafking" is stupid and sounds stupid, but yes. All 6 NES MegaMan games are absolute gems and near-perfect games despite the fact that the overall quality does vary a bit between them.

[Ice Wave]

I don't know why, but I was playing Megaman Soccer for some reason.  It's actually pretty fun.

[Vinchenz Rock]

"Inafking" is stupid and sounds stupid, but yes. All 6 NES MegaMan games are absolute gems and near-perfect games despite the fact that the overall quality does vary a bit between them.

Inafking is what he called himself. >_>

Also, notice how the boss music cuts out when the boss' HP fills up? I like how in MegaMan 5, Capcom FINALLY switched the channel for the music and sound effects so that you can actually hear the music for once.

Also, I personally think the engine they used for MegaMan 1-6 was perfected at MegaMan 4.

[preventerWIND]

I hated how your charge shot disappeared if you got hit in MM5. Thats my only beef with it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Ah yeah, that got annoying.

At least the big ball of destruction is a big ball of destruction, unlike in MegaMan 4.

[ASR]

I hated the charge shot in the NES games. Everything about it. I'm so #####ing glad they took it out of MM9, even if meant they took out the slide, too.

[ChaosVortex]

I didn't like it much in MM4. I liked it more in MM5.

But, if there was one beef with the charge shot, it's the sound effect.

It gets slightly annoying. Makes you almost want to stop charging.

[preventerWIND]

In MM6 the even changed the power shot noise, its the same noise as any other pellet...

[ChaosVortex]

They made it better in Mega Man 7. It's not very loud.

It's like a "whhiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRR R"

Instead of a "wawawaWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA".

... >.>;

[preventerWIND]

And it MMX it was sort of the same as MM7! It was kind of like a.. "BweeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

And in MMZ it was "swish-swish-swish-swish"...

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Yeah, I just finished FF4.
Now I'm going to play it again and probably get bored of it and quit a little ways into it.
After that I'm just going to twiddle my thumbs and wait for some of the great Wii games that'll be coming out later.

Instead of a "wawawaWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA".

?

[Mikero]

Excuse me, EVERY charging sound effect is annoying. The original ones are just worse.

And I think only really Abe has said "Inafking" here, and I'm sure it was in jest.

[Abominator]

Aside from the greatness of Jet Set Radio, do we ever agree on anything?

We agree that eachother's taste stingcks.

[Yubi Shines]

Powering through Seiken Densetsu 3 for the first time, I get to the boss battle with the Evil Sorceress that's been screwing around with the Noble Heroine all along, and WHAT DOES SHE TRANSFORM INTO FOR THE FIGHT?

[spoiler]

A CATGIRL.

WTF WTF[/spoiler]

[Mikero]

Well, they ARE evil.

[Speed Racer]

Aside from the greatness of Jet Set Radio, do we ever agree on anything?

We agree that eachother's taste stingcks.

True, true.

Oh yeah, and I got my college transcripts the other day. It seems as though the only semesters where my GPA went up was AFTER I bought my Xbox 360.

[saldite]

I recently picked up a copy of Grandia II for the Dreamcast.
It's pretty good. I'd recommend it to anybody who enjoys a good RPG.

[preventerWIND]

I got Digimon World Championship, I'll let you know how it is. Not that most of you will care.

[Vinchenz Rock]

So I beat Megaman 7 the other day.

A wave of nostalgia mind blew me and remembered why it was my favourite in the series.

Then I played Megaman 8 and remembered why it wasn't as good.

I mean, what happened to the quality? Its not bad but it certainly isn't good.

Still have to (painfully) beat it and then I have to beat Megaman & Bass before I'm ready for Megaman 9.

[ChaosVortex]

Eh. I thought Mega Man 8 was fun. My only beef was it's too easy. Some of the stages aren't interesting enough (Frost Man, Sword Man, Astro Man, etc.), so that's another factor.
