On the other hand' date=' the gameplay (outside of combat) took a tragic step back. The world felt under developed, and the dungeon count lacking. In fact, the TriForce hunt to me felt like a shallow tack on to extend the life of a single playthrough. Whereas exploring in the other 3D Hyrules for secrets and such is fun, sailing upon a monotonous backdrop quickly became a chore.
I actually just restarted Ocarina a few days ago, and the only reason that won out over Wind Waker was the sheer distaste for the sailing aspect of the game.
I will always remember the cinematics and the story of Wind Waker as brilliant and amazing, it's just too bad they couldn't put them in a game worthy of it.[/quote']
I agree, sailing did become a chore, so did the whole triforce hunt. They did say that two dungeons were cut to meet release date.
You know, I did try to start back on Ocarina, but I only got to the Third Dungeon (Jabu Jabu's Belly), and stopped. I just couldn't get back into it. I'll ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember the great story in OoT, and the great cutscenes. But I just can't and won't go back through it again. Mostly because I'm not as enthralled by it anymore...
And the cinemas still stay with me in both WW and OoT. Before the final battle was just absolutely incredible in WW, and the last few cutscenes in OoT, including the awesome ending credits and music (I still wish they'd orchestrate the end credits music, it would be absolutely gorgeous).

Well, thanks for posting on the topic, haven't seen you around here for a while McVaffe. Good to hear from you.
And as far as the comment about sailing. Yeah, I do think that the sailing aspect got a little bit stale. But they definitely improved on it in Phantom Hourglass, where you were more involved in retrieving the underwater treasure (I did enjoy trying to guide the crane down to the box, and bringing it back up).
I hope Nintendo considers using the style on a console release (though I'm doubtful since so many fanboys disliked it, but that's just their opinion, so I can't be mean to 'em), it would be so awesome to see it reused.
In terms of the wii controls, I think Twilight had a good usage of them. Fishing was and still is awesome (but of course doesn't hold a candle to the real thing), but you have to check out this article I found, it will definitely be awesome to see if Nintendo does this with the controls...

It's been a few years now, but I have to say it, I think I like the Wind Waker's style over Twilight Princess, and for that matter, even better than TP. Not that Twilight was a bad game, but it was so much different from the other Zelda games in terms of style and story. And it started much better combat. Yeah, the sailing left a lot to be desired, but I enjoyed it.
Sorry, to sound jaded, but what do you guys think of the Wind Waker these days? Indifferent, still enjoy it?

Hope my brother in law downloads it, I don't have internet or a 360 @ home....

I haven't bothered to read all the posts on this topic. But I have no doubt it's copmlete agitation for the film.
Honestly, I didn't grow up with the original trilogy, it wasn't until 97 when they remastered them and put them back into theaters that I started to like them (thanks to the N64 Shadows of The Empire game no less).
Anyways, I grew up with the prequels, and despite what everyone says about them, I honestly enjoy them. Could they be better? ABSOLUTELY. Are they as terrible as everyone says? No, at least not to me.
But I didn't like this Clone Wars movie. But then I started thinking, this is targeted as a KIDS SHOW, aimed for kids. It's the launch campaign of the t.v. series. Isn't obvious enough this was 3 episodes basically put together? I hope it is to some. I know that Gennedy Tartokovsky's Clone Wars series were better, but think about those though, they were designed in 5 minute spurts, little dialog could be done for them. It wasn't 'till they did the 10 minute sets did they do more in terms of dialog.
Yeah, the acting was terrible by several people (Osaka has got to change but that won't happen at least for another season since season one is finished, if she ever does), I'm not crazy about how some of the characters look (at least Dooku and the Clone Troops unmasked).
But now that I think about the movie, I think it's pretty decent, but I hope the series gets off on a better start.
And if I ever hear Osaka call Anakin "skyguy" or R-2 "R-tooie", well, I don't know what I'll do.
And that goes for the live action series due in a few years...

Thank God Mokujin still lives.
And I thought they put him in a wood chipper....
Shows how much I know...

Missed the volleyball tourney completely, I watched some of it last time, was pretty awesome. Have to admit, I do enjoy watchin the ladies play, wink wink...
God, Im such a pig...

Personally, I've never been that into Mega Man games, but they were entertaining. I loved Mega Man Legends. And I generally prefered Mega Man X series because that's what I grew up with.
Though I do want to download Mega Man 9 when it comes out...
-
I did have one, but I traded it in. I bought for 200 dollars from a friend. It was in good shape, but I just don't have the time to keep track of two game systems. Sounds ridiculous, I know. There are plenty of cool games on 360, and I can't wait to try some of the games coming out (my future roommate has one), like Mirror's Edge, Portal: Still Alive, and a few others. But I couldn't afford 60 dollar games everytime one came out, that, and it was starting to lock up for NO REASON. I wouldn't even play it for 15 minutes and it would lock up. I'm not trying to knock the system down, I know how that may sound to some. But I'm content with my Nintendo Wii and DS. Can't wait for Wario Land Shake and Kirby Super Star Deluxe on those. Sorry, I've got a knack for getting off topic on these forums.

For me, Cowboy Bebop had the worst ending I've seen in an anime. But then again, I've watched very few animes. They just never really appealed to me that much. I loved the music on Bebop though, very well done. I have a few of the tracks from the albums...

If Tim Burton directed this film, Robocop would be a brooding, dark mess of a revived dead cop, out for revenge.
"I'LL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!"

I've just grown accustomed to a more intelligent form of speculation around here... not this "OMGZ DED RIZING WITH WAGLEZ GIOING 2 SUX HAR HAR" drivel.
Personally, I haven't heard official mention of any downgrades that Capcom hasn't addressed yet. From what I've read so far, it sounds like they're doing their best to make sure this game stays fun. Let's let them do their thing before we pass judgment.
1. Your on forums dude, any forum is going to have the kind of people that may shoot down a console, and if you can't take it/ignore it, well, sign out. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just being honest. You should have been here when we had two guys that were almost always arguing with someone here, or at least insulting someone, Cuddly Pyramind Head and Firedrake. I'll admit most brought it upon themselves, but heck, in arguements on the net, nobody really wins...
2. I've heard almost nothing about Dead Rising on Wii, minus screen shots. Whether I want to even go through the game again after how frustrating it was to me, I don't know. It had a good story, great music, and lots of good 'ol school beatm em up stuff, but again, don't really think I want to even go through it all again. Heck, I'm at the point where almost no game, new or old, is just not that entertaining to me anymore.
I refrain from reviews, mostly because the critics can't get their heads out of their backsides (Play magazine, and EGM, for example). But now I'm getting off topic...

It's probably been said TO DEATH, but this to me, is single handedly, the greatest comic book movie I've seen yet. The film had a realistic feel. I didn't know what to think when they had Heath Ledger play Joker, until I actually saw the film.
SPOILER ALERT. The minute Joker did his "magic trick", I knew he was perfect for the part. The car chase sequence was awesome, with the truck over turning and batman spinning round on the wall with his bike like it's was nothing, just awesome. Not only that, they managed to use THREE villians in one film, and still make it weave together flawlessly (unlike a certain other 3rd film with a web slinger....)
END SPOILER....
The whole film felt like a roller coaster that doesn't let you go. You can take all the Spiderman films, and put them aside in my opinion (I know they're completely different, you can do that to the third one at least). How Christopher Nolan will surpass this film, I have absolutely NO IDEA. It's such a shame that Heath Ledger is dead, it would have been interesting to see if they would have integrated him in the inevitabel third film.
I only wonder who they could use for the next film. Bane? Riddler? Oswald Cobblepot (aka Penguin)?, maybe Poison Ivy or Catwoman (you know Alfred did mention CATS to deflect from batman's suit...)

I've always been fond of Kirby Super Star, I especially loved the ending credits music for Milky Way Wishes...
Here's a remix...

And one awesome guitar track from Chrono Trigger remix...

I hope this game beats out Guitar Hero IV, I really do. I know that Guitar Hero has to step up, but I really feel they ripped off Harmonix and Rock Band. I'm still don't think that whole creat your own song thing is really going to be that good (it's all midi format from what I hear), but I'll wait to I actually hear and see it.

I remember first stumbling on this site, and after consistently checking in, bLIND always has a great mix. I know what it's like for his family to go through something like that. My mom has had 4 heart valve surgeries, and they were incredibly stressful. The last surgery she had they gave her only a 5% chance of living because of not taking blood transfusions. But that was actually for the better, they expected her to be in the hospital for a month. She was out in two weeks, and she's in better health than I've ever seen here my whole life.
On the subject, I hope for nothing but the best. I have no real knowledge of Colitis, but I know it's nothing to not be concerned about.
Hang in there, bLIND.

I have to say, since I've unlocked all the characters and a good amount of trophies, I haven't had the desire to go back and play the game. But then again, excpet for a few games I've played in the past, I have little to no desire to play them thru again...
-
Probably the lamest thread to bring up (please close it if necessary),but I bought their new album a few weeks ago, and I have to say, it's the best they've had since the Green Album (and I know most didn't like that album).
Besides the Pork and Beans single, their other single, "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" is probably one of my favorites of this band.
Definitely going to have to download it on Rock Band besides Pixies tracks...
Any thoughts on the album?
Ready to flame me? I can take it......I think....

Man, that's a pretty penny. It's almost unbelievable that they charged $600 for the PS3 and still lost that kind of money. Sony has stated before that they wanted the PS3 to have a ten-year life cycle, so do they believe that they can't recoup their loses even over that stretch of time?
Heard rumours they're already starting to make a new console. Those rumours are neither confirmed from a reliable source, nor can I recall who told me...
Wouldn't suprise me, but how can they? I guess blue ray is the only thing that's going to help them beyond their other electronics...

LOL:lmassoff:
Back on topic, I hope the book doesn't suck.
If you've played the game as many times as I have, then you probably don't need to read it. But if you're enough a fan of Metal Gear, go for it.
I still have yet to play MGS 3....
Guess I'll cheat and watch the cutscenes on Youtube....
-
I'd go with Twin Snakes personally, since it has Sons of Liberty's engine integrated in the game. And even better cutscenes in some areas. But the voice acting I felt was just a bit better in the original Metal Gear Solid game for PS1 (I have the PC edition of that game, it came with VR missions).

Hello everyone. I am new here and my English is not so good because I am from Hungary. But I being following Overclocked Remix for a while, and you are very talented people!
All comments welcome!
I've only finished a handful of RPGs, and FFVII wasn't one of them. Mostly I didn't have the patience for it at the time (I was up to Mount Corona? With Tifa and party, I guess). But from what I played, it was a good game...
As for Crisis Core. I know next to nothing about it. Hopefully it's better than Advent Children.
-
I'm sorry, I just couldn't get into that game whatsoever. The controls were too frustrating for me on the wii version. I couldn't stand that Isuun (the little guy that looks like a flea), this game just didn't set right for me.
Don't get me wrong, I love the art style, the scenery, and the music, it's absolutely gorgeous, but the controls are a lot to be desired for.
That's just my opinion, don't let me stop you from enjoying it. I know I'm bound to get flamed for what I said, but hey, at least I said why I don't like the game...

I was reading about the trailer on IGN, and I saw this:
That's amazing, but it got me thinking. It's a goddamn shame that the bold line completely rules out a Wii release. Fuck you Nintendo. /end rant
I'm not ruling out that it could not be on Wii. Though the graphics wouldn't look that detailed. But call that blind hope.
At least my roomate has a 360....
I certainly hope that they keep the same voice actors. Yeah, sounds picky I know.

So, you really think the DK series has ANYTHING to do with Star Wars? Beyond using it as an analogy?
Yeah, Nostalgia...

Try saying that to all those people on that, I'm sure they'll enjoy it....
