what other games do people play?
 
we all know that people here play oddworld ... but what other games do people play?

i'm a fan of the zelda series myself

SeaRex 10-05-2003 11:59 AM

I'm also a fan of Zelda, although I don't have a GCN.

I've been getting into Online FPSs recently, like Unreal Championship and Return to Castle Wolfentstein: Tides of War. Of course, I'm not very good at them... but having fun is worth getting owned... a lot.

Praise jeebus for Unreal II on the Xbox.

And as soon as the GTA double pack comes out for the Xbox, I'll be a GTA fan. Already reserved a copy, that I did...

Grr... so many good games coming out this year. I don't know when I'll find the money to buy them. Not to mention the time to play them.

I play Jedi Knight II, GTA: Vice City, Max Payne. These are my favourites. But I played many games earlier.

recently i've been getting inot tactical FPS's. like ghost recon and raven shield.

does anyone know the release date for raven shield on xbox?

oddguy 10-05-2003 02:57 PM

I have a lot of variety, considering I own a SNES, N64, PS2 and the almighty Xbox.
I play a lot of games that best suit my mood at the present time. Right now I'm playing Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for Xbox. Fantastic game.

Yeah I have ... every system. SNES, N64, GCN, PS, PS2, Xbox (although if only for Oddworld:)) GBA, all that stuff. I conquered each Zelda game--whoo!--and quite a few Marios. And yes... gulp ... I play Pokemon. I am a Pokemon fiend. Parappa the Rappa is pretty cool too.

Also I've found a place online full of fan RPGs that people just make up. It's mostly DBZ, but there is some alright stuff. I'm actually working (or trying to work on) an Oddworld RPG there. I have no story yet, but I only just started.

I like to play most rpgs... Nwn, runescape, helbreath etc...

I'm playing cs and tft atm though...

Majic 10-06-2003 12:44 AM

Lately I've been playing more single player Half-Life and randomly messing around in the original shareware of Doom. Darn fun games... I've also been thinking about reinstalling Duke Nukem 3D for the heck of it. Go FPSs! THis is due to my lack of X Box/Playstation 2.

Anyways, if I had the representative systems, I'd be playing GTA and Halo, and I'll probably rehook up my PS1 and start playing thorugh Spyro and Crash again.

Bah. I miss sitting around playing games a bunch. Stupid marching band. My whole Saturday was wasted away because of a big contest my school hosts. 5 more weeks... only 5 more weeks until freedom...

Lately I've been playing a lot of Crazy Taxi (the original one on DC). I'm in love with the physics engine of it.

I've also been replaying Sam and Max Hit the Road...darn funny game. One of the funniest I've played. Love it to pieces.

ethan 10-06-2003 03:43 AM

Well lately I've been playing Crazy Taxi beacause of it being my only game for dreamcast but i would have goten sonic the thing is that I bought it at a game stop and when I put it in my dreamcast it screwed it put so much.

But now that my dreamcast is all screwed up I play thing like super smash brothers most time I call some friends over to play on it in the parlor.

:smokin: Ethan :dodgy:

Ha! You don't have a Sega Master System! That will forever hold the crown as my favourite console!

My top two would be GTA and MGS. I like lots of games though.

Cloverfield 10-06-2003 07:53 AM

I really only play 2 games series ... Oddworld and Final Fantasy, as well as some other Square-Enix games. I'd like to play more games, but I don't really have the time. Occasionally I play Diablo 2 w/ friends or my brother online.

On a more general scale though, mainly RPG and games where you can do a lot of exploration.

Final Fantasy rules. :)

I play alot of RPG:s. The latest game right now is Lionheart: Legend of the Crusader. Darn, that's hard... And I also play the sims and a little The Neverhood (but all I do is watch the ending movies, they're funny...).

Big_Bro_Slig222 10-06-2003 06:00 PM

I've been playing;

Turok Evolution (GCN)
Paper Mario (N64) (Best. Friggin. N64. RPG. EVER)
Chrono Trigger (SNES Emulator)


But seriously, I haven't been playing games much lately. I've been working on expanding my Warhammer Fantasy Orc&Goblin army (which is a cash vacumn right there) and I'm trying to save up for a new PC. Seriously, I can play like zero of the new games.
I need a new rig, badly. So I've been saving up for that.


The only games that I am sure I really want to buy are;

Pikmin 2 (not out yet)
Soul Calibur 2 (GCN)

Dave 10-06-2003 09:03 PM

Rock on! Paper Mario!
Sure that game's graphics look a bit campy, but the game rocks ass!

How about Super Mario RPG for the SNES? Anyone know that game? It's a good one: one of the last SNES games released. Pretty good graphics, too. Typical RPG battle system, too. A good game.

Big_Bro_Slig222 10-06-2003 09:27 PM

Super Mario RPG = videogame nirvana.

Wolfpac 10-07-2003 12:23 AM

If it's sport I'll play it. I love my sport games. They're fun.

Yay! I know that game. Actually I've never played it, but would really like to. As it was developed by the one and only Squaresoft. :D And even features a variation of the FFIII battle theme in amongst the soundtrack.

Just another Square game to try and find for my collection.

Mojo 10-07-2003 12:39 PM

Which games I play besides the OW Series? That must be Halo and Morrowind. Morrowind must be one of the best RPG's ever. The world is just huge! I can't wait for the Game of the Year edition, then I can play Bloodmoon and Tribunal too! I'm playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 too... Well, I'm unlocking the characters, that is...

Dave 10-07-2003 08:28 PM

Hey isn't Culex a Final Fantasy Boss? Because in SMRPG he has a cameo as a Hidden Boss.

In Moleville, buy a Fireworks for 500 coins.
Trade it to the little mole girl at the Pur-tend Store for a Shiny Stone.
Go to Monstro Town and try to open the sealed door next to the Shop. Press A and you'll see: "It's been sealed .... The Shiny Stone is reacting to the door!" Enter it and Culex will appear to battle you. He is acompianied by Earth Crystal, Wind Crystal, Fire Crystal, and Water Crystal. He has, like, 4096 HP. I suggest (if you have it) to keep using the Star Egg: you'll do 100 damage to all five of them. Otherwise, bring plenty of Pick Me Ups. Take out Culex first, then Go for one of the Crystals. Generally, defeating one causes the others to die.

Want the Star Egg?
Okay.
Go back to Booster Tower. Find Knife Guy and play his game until he gives you the Bright Card. This will mean you win about 50 times.
Proceed to Bean Valley. In the area with five pipes with Pirahna Plants in them, allow the Shy Away to let them grow. Battle the plant in the lower left-hand corner and go down the pipe.
You should be in a small chamber with a brown Chain Chomp in the corner. Jump next to it and you'll hear a funny sound. Jump three times and a platform will appear. Climb up and out to find Grate Guy's Casino.
Play (and win) look the other way with Grate Guy a total of 100 times for the Star Egg.

Anyways.
Its weird.

Enjoy the hints!
