  1. EarthBound, Giygas...

    SPOILERS... i guess.

    I remember the first time I fought him I really felt completely alone with no hope.

    It would hit me the hardest right after the game would show the people stopping to pray for you.

    It was like a little break from the chaos showing you all the people who you have met and that they care enough about you to stop what they were doing and pray, then instantly put you back in the Giygas fight with that extremely creepy music (if you can call it music.) and formless creature in front of you.

    That game left an impact on me.

  2. Trying to get someone into video games is tough, even if they're the one who decided to try.

    Just keep in mind that most games are very over the top to a non gamer, civilization sounds like a great idea for someone with the tastes you described.

    I find it best to stick with a more "normal" themed game for someone in his age range as apposed to something he might find too weird of a concept to accept.

    A slow paced puzzle game could work too.

  3. If this is successful, it will have a more ironic name than final fantasy. Maybe some day we will see Last Story 13.

    I wonder if that's why they chose that name.

    maybe they want to start a series that's more like traditional Final Fantasy and keep the same kind of theme with the title.

    ... Or maybe once again this is expected to be the last game by Sakaguchi. (doubt it though)

  4. any 3D game from the psone era and earlier looks pretty bad to me, I even thought so back when they were new.

    but I find that any game from the N64 era and on can still look fantastic when played on newer hardware.

    for example, N64 games can look really nice when emulated with a smooth frame-rate and a resolution of 1920X1080 or higher, even the standard-def 480p Wii VC versions look a lot better than the original.

  5. From what I've heard from my pals on other forums, it's stuff like the removal of the rotating Butter Buildings and other such things that's annoying in Nightmare in Dreamland.

    Oh yeah, they did remove the rotating building, now you just kind of wait for the door to appear.

    I think the charm people say isn't captured in the remake is just nostalgia getting in the way, the gba version is almost identical when it comes to level design, and the updated visuals and audio look fantastic on the gba.

    That isn't to say your wii points shouldn't be spent on the original, as already stated the game really pushes the nes hardware, the only downside is it suffers from frequent slowdown.

  6. My personal favourite in that list is Kirby.

    I don't know if you have played it before so I will warn you that nightmare

    in dreamland for gba is a remake of this game.

    if you own or have played nightmare in dreamland a lot you aren't missing anything.

    Zelda 2 would be my second choice...

  7. Uh... I have no idea what the objective in that game is...

    In the levels the video showed you have to kill all the bad bugs around the flowers so the other hummingbirds can get to them.

    Later in the game the levels change, some are auto scrolling while others require you to explore caves and such.

    It may look strange but it's actually pretty cool.

  8. You can create backup copies through Steam to burn to disc. You can even backup multiple games at once, but chances are that if they were l4d and any Orange Box game, you'd still need two DVD-Rs, or one dual layer DVD-R.

    (DVD-R could be either DVD-R or DVD+R)

    Can you remove the download from your pc and just use the backup disc the same as a physical copy?

  9. I bought the orange box and l4d1 hard copy just for the reason that I uninstall and reinstall games constantly, so it stops me from downloading all the time. But since I have 70 games on steam now and 98% of them are download only, I'm more for that.

    I edited my post to answer big giant circles but your reason is very good.

  10. Yes, it has to be played on steam on PC. No way around it unless you hack it.

    ok, thanks, that's good to know. I'm not all that familiar with pc online gaming,

    but I loved the first Left 4 Dead and a game that intense must be played with a keyboard and mouse.

    And steam just gives the pc that xbox live community feel.

    edit

    @big giant circles

    Well, for whatever reason the games I download from steam don't run anywhere near as well as my hard copy versions,

    I've even played Left 4 Dead on disk and on steam on this very computer and the steam one just doesn't work well, even in single player.

  11. Maybe someone knows this, I had downloaded a "Free" version to test how the game would run on my computer and it seemed to run fine so I decided to sign up for steam and start buying my games from there, I downloaded Left 4 Dead off of steam but it doesn't run as well as my other copy.

    Is there something I can do to make it run smoother or is it just because having steam running in the background is slowing down my computer?

  12. I went to the the Play! concert in Baltimore in July and they certainly played the Chrono Trigger/Cross medley among other great songs, actually the most emotional one for me that they did was the Oblivion medley, and I've never even played the game. I highly recommend going if you haven't.

    Here are some videos I found of the Baltimore concert.
