But if you're riding on nostalgia alone, you're thinking wrong. You have to be willing to move forward while giving a smiling nod to your past, or else you're going to wind up disappointed, and it seems that a lot of these critics will continue to make that stupid mistake for a long time.
Saw the movie last night, and really enjoyed it. Just as funny as Last Crusade in my opinion (and I'm usually odd man out on that). I knew going into that theater that if I set my expectations real high, I'd be dissapointed, so I just watched the film to enjoy it, nothing else. Not to see it top the original three (something that I don't think can be accomplished),but just to see the film as a continuing story, and following the classic old adventure serials (just like the original three).
Speaking of which, it may just be me, but does anyone else notice how somebody thinks x amount of movies need to be realistic (I'm not talking about anyone here on the forums)? Or you watch a movie with someone and they say, "Well why didn't they do ...", I know I've done it in the past, but it just ruins the enjoyment of watching the movie to me.
I wonder if that's how some of the critics are reacting to the film (haven't read any critics reviews, not like I need to).

I miss Good ol King's Quest games. I think they even redid 1 and 2 if I'm not mistaken...
V, VI, and VII were pretty good too.

Doom 3 as it should have been
Say, what song is that? I like that music...
-
Seeing as how most collaborations with Directors and game makers never really turns out good (minus King Kong, that was okay), I was sceptical about this game, but after hearing good repore on the game, I took a chance and rented it. I haven't had this much fun on the wii in a while, this game had controls in mind from the begining, but I kinda got sore from trying to throw the ball hard...
Yeah, sounds retarded I know....

I'm thinking about changing my sig, didn't want to start a thread over it, so I thought I'd shown them...
Alright, besides resizing them...
Which one should I use? Or what could I work on??? Should I keep the one I've got already???

While I use to feel the way the poster of this thread, I don't anymore. I have to agreee with Nekkofrog adn Sir Nuts (like the sig Sir Nuts), gamers today may not know of the classics we played, but those games are dated and used the best of what they could back then.
So if those kids were never exposed to games like that before playing games today that are structured 50 times larger with more features and overall better, how can you blame them? I don't, heck, they're just enjoying one of the biggest money/time wasters we have.
Yeah, I know what you're gonna say, games today are nowhere near as good as what we played, QUIT looking through a false lens. Look at the games today with no preconceived opinions or thoughts from any other game, or "EXPERT" critic, or rabid fanboy, and you may just enjoy these games today.
Somehow I feel I've gone too far off topic, haven't I?
And by the way Coop, AMEN!!!

Looks impressive, hope it actually comes out, unlike the Chrono Trigger update we saw a few years back (ol Square put out a cease and desist order on them).
-
Batmans got some bad wrinkles...
On the subject, WHY? As one stated, Marvel and Capcom was done, heck, they should just do DC vs. Marvel. This just doesn't do anything for me, especially since I never really liked MK (the characters like Sub Zero and Scorpion, Smoke and others always looked kinda cool) But whatever floats gamers boats these days...
Please, do not mention Marvel Nemesis, I still hate every fiber of that game...
-
Got to stage 65 I believe, somewhere around there. Some sort of castle stage, lost track of where I was. Man, it's been a long time since I played it...
-
I can't wait to see this game. I've read next to nothing minus some of the footage shown for it.
But I can't shake the feeling that the story is just too far out. Yeah, sounds ridiculous (Robotic tanks walking, an undead vampire, double and triple crosses, a fat bomber who can outskate you, naked dudes running amuk, a hacker with a bizarre love with his mom, psychics, , how far has Metal Gear gone?), but to me it just feels like it's gone further into ridiculous territory, but that's just my opinion, chances are I'll love this one more than MGS:TS and MGS 2:SOL (never played MGS3).

How many times do you let yourself live in denial before you learn to quit putting faith into a dead franchise?
I will admit Sonic probably will never be as good as it once was. Sonic on 360 was awful for me. And the less I say about Sonic and the Secret Rings (is that the Wii version?), the better.
I have to admit, I'm intrigued by this new Sonic game. Maybe SEGA final got the message that he doesn't really work that well in 3D.

I know this comes off as rather elitist and pompous, as someone who spends much of his time reading up on several different web-sites about even the worst games available, but its really starting to bother me that the average consumer of video games, movies, music, midget butlers, etc. only seems to look at the box art and exclaim "pimp-slap boxing! wow, and it even has graphics in it! I got's 'ta git me some o' dat!" But since it sells, more and more games are made based off of that same business-principle. Its nothing new, but I haven't really been exposed to the level of mediocrity people are expecting (or not expecting) from window-dressed games until lately.
Discuss.
Honestly, I don't care anymore. Some games have intrigued me just by the box, even movies have done the same. BUt that's just the consumer for you, especially if they're uninformed on the stuff. How can you blame the lady if she doesn't know anything about video games? It's commendable you at least tried to help her.

So speculation is that it is a low-budget indie film. And it'd have to be, Ganon looks terrible.
I agree that Ganon looks weird. He looks more ape than human.
Why is anyone even trying to do a Zelda film? I think that is one franchise that shouldn't be fooled with. Unless the planets are aligned, I doubt anyone can or should even do a Zelda film (maybe if it was animated? CG or hand drawn would be fine with me).
At least that's my feelings.
Egad! It's been forever since you been here Nekofrog!

I wonder if they will make enough copies for me to just go in and pick up without a reservation.
Don't know if you could. Japan had a blowout in sales of the game. I wonder how bad it will be here?
At least I reserved mine. I don't know if I'll pick it up at midnight...
-
Is it just me? Or did they make some of those songs harder to play than they really are? Like adding in extra notes to make it more difficult?
Maybe it's just me, but I still like Guitar Hero III.
-
I don't know if anyone noticed it, but for a split second (this flickered on the screen), I could have sworn I saw the Dharma initiative logo from LOST? Did anyone else see that? Maybe it's just me and my brother in law.
Made me a little nautious, but other than that, good movie.

Adam Sessler proves once again that he is the last remotely good thing about G4.
I haven't looked into anything regarding Mass Effect debate. But then again, I haven't really even played the game (the whole thing with the elevators was starting to annoy me, and that kind of stuff doesn't hardly bother me!). Fox news must not have much to talk about if they have to talk about a video game they've not even played...
As regards to Adam Sessler, you should have seen him TRYING to debate with Jack Thompson. In that debate, Adam looked like a squabbling idiot. Instead of acting calm and collective (as a SMART man would've done), he came off as some fanboy chewing someone out. And the entire time you could tell he had a cocky grin on his face like, I'm so much better than you. But then again, I guess anybody would if they were debating with Thompson.

Well, I've decided I'm going to at least attempt to remix a couple Rayman songs. I've already started on a trance remix of Betilla the Fairy's theme, and I think it's going to be my "next big release" (as opposed to an original song or something lol).
I'd like to hear it. Rayman was the first game I really played on P.C. (or figured out how to run a DOS game).
I do agree, there's lots of projects going on, heck, the Kirby Milky Way Wishes project has been going on for over a year! I do remember a Banjo Kazooie remix project, but it fell through. Not to mention the Star Fox project, and others...
But I've never even submitted a song, cause I have no talent. So I guess I should just butt out...

I've been on this site I guess for a few years, I've seen forum members come and go (though there's been WAAAY MORE before me), but for some reason, I keep coming back for more. I've got probably almost 2 gigs of music off this site (including remix projects). It gets better every year, every mix is progressing in terms of tech (not that the former mixes aren't still good), and I'm hoping to see much more.
Speaking of remix projects, did the team making kirby's super star (milky way wishes game), ever finish?
So, nine years have passed. One more year, and unbelievably, this place will have been here TEN years!!

It looks like they tried to retain the feeling of the show, kinda strange looking, but I think it won't be too bad a film, you just have to look at it from a different perspective...
And in response to the DBZ or DB movie, I've never really liked the show (the Cell Saga was the best to me), but since I've seen nothing in regards to the film, I'll hold judgement.
But I wonder, will the whole DBZ film be just Goku charging an attack?
Seriously, some of those episodes took 2 hours for an attack to let loose.

I would have had the Toy Galaxy purple coin run on the 3rd try, but I didn't have any platforms left to jump back to get the star, haha.
I had 15 lives on that one, I came out with only 3. That is quite possibly the hardest challenge for me yet, next to the daredevil runs on the last lava course (in the garden) and fighting polterghost in the ghost house galaxy.

Already found 20 stars. Man, I've gotta limit how long I play this game, 3 and half hours went by in no time. Has anyone found the soundtrack or Mp3's? I love the music!!!
-
Most have said what I've thought of, but Batman Begins is one of my favorite especially the track Molossus.
Also,
Star Trek: Nemisis (I know people hate that movie, but I still like it),
Fifth Element (already stated, I know)
Signs
Leon The Professional (done by the same guy who did Fifth Element music)
The Incredibles
Serenity

I have to honestly ask, did anybody here gripe or complain about Nintendo's E3 conference? I'm mostly asking because I read PLAY magazine's letter from the Editor, and it was kind of a stupid article. I know that Nintendo's E3 conference wasn't that good, but I think this is Nintendo's only option in moving forward. But that's just my thought.
Beyond Good and Evil 2
in General Discussion
Posted
Beyond Good and Evil to me is absolutely one of the best games I ever played in my opinion. When you find a copy, just buy it. I'm going through it my third time (At least I think it's my third.)
