Never got a chance to play FF9 yet... Might when I get the chance...

Um.. The games I liked were some N64 games such as Harvest Moon and nowadays I found some Nippon Ichi games such as Soul Nomad and Disgaea quite fun. Soul Nomad is sort of realistic in a way. Instead of just keeping some guy in jail for some idiotic reason, they just kill him instead(Though not shown). And Nippon Ichi manages to keep the comedy too. Then are the Metal Gear series.. Although they are so damn tough at times, it's pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Some DS games such as Rune Factory 2 are pretty fun to play when you need to kill time or when you just feel like it.

Nothing much, huh?

Yeah.. And it's always a bit sad whenever Natsume always takes out a good feature of the game when localizing it.

My favorite.... mmm it's hard for me select just one or two... maybe a few...
The truth is i've enjoyed most of the videogames i've played...

But indeed I choose Final Fantasy , Silent Hill, Grand Thief Auto and Suikoden's saga. Specially FF 7 and Suikoden 2. I remember them both with special affection.

By the way have to mention "Golden Axe" (many hours drawing Tyris Flare) and the silmaril's Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom, the first game i've played where if you want to discharge a party member you must ask the entire party first (and often discover they have their own opinion :lol3: )

Does anybody know a game called Rhapsody a Musical Adventure?
I know isn't a great one, but is full of beatiful work, great characters, a lot of color, sense of humor.... and because of it I started searching something like rpg maker.

P.D.- Yakuzza and Yakuzza 2... ok they'll not win a videogame award but... How much i've enjoyed hitting a bunch of thugs with elegance (and old umbrellas...) !

P.D. 2 . - I forgot talk about Money Island I and II!! ... See? I can't choose only one or two..

Want a list?
Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Fatal Fury, Street Fighter 2...
Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3
Ishar 2 messengers of doom
Hand of Fate (legend of Kyrandia 2)
Thief the Metal Age
Final Fantasy 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11..
Suikoden 2, 5.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Silent hill 1, 2, 3, and origins
Koudelka (can't explain why .. but i like it!)
GTA 3, Sant Andreas, Liberty City stories....
Guitar Hero 2, 3, World Tour..
Project Zero (also called Fatal Frame)
Soul Blade (the first) and Soul Calibur 2 and 3
Yakuzza 1 and 2
The Sims!!
.. and more... sigh..

Oh, God. You had to mention Golden Axe! I downloaded that game for Virtual Console last year. The nightmares have only recently subsided.

The skeletons won't die! THEY DON'T DIE!

There are four truths in life that all must come to terms with:
1. I will die and all that I am will cease to be.
2. I am born alone and will die alone. I can never truly know another.
3. The suffering in my life is my own creation. I create my reality through my choices.
4. ALL meaning is arbitrary and relative. Life is ultimately meaningless.

I can't believe i forgot Silent hill, i used to play that with this one friend he was the only one who i knew who liked it
other then me, we thought the first one was creepy, then we got silent hill 2 by far the best survival horror i have ever played IMO but i have to say Res Evil 4 is really good to but that wasnt really scary at all, that and RE4 is completely different from the silent hill series so they dont compare,
I just remember walking through
the halls in the apartment buildings hoping to god the doors were either locked or "the door cannot be opened"
the music an atmosphere is sooo good, it makes your nerves go up the whole time you play, no other game has or will
do that for me, probably cause i was much younger then but i still play it on pc and after 3 or 4 hours i have to stop
it gets to nerve racking Laugh , silent hill 3 was ok but i never played it, silent hill 4 the room, wasnt even originally suposed
to be a silent hill game so of course it sucked, and homecoming i think ill start a thread for that.

What a game - you know, I think my dad and I have been playing this for over a decade and we still haven't completed the damn thing! Either the final boss isreally difficult or we're both crap. Either is just as likely to be honest.

I would rather not write another essay-length post, but I find the debate about whether FFVII and FFIX is the best in the series, at least in its Playstation incarnation. I tend to differentiate between what is "best" from a..'general perspective' (I was going to write objective but that's not strictly true of course - communally held in esteem perhaps) and what I personally get most joy from. I think that FFVII is the more accomplished game - I just think its world and its accompanying story sparkle with originality, even today. However, I have to say that I absolutely adore FFIX - to me it is very much a return to the feel of FFIV. Though I was deprived of FFIV first time round (the bane of being a European SNES owner I guess!!) I really love the tone of the older games - there seems a tendency for FFIV not to take itself too seriously - it's just a game after all, you want to enjoy it. For all its quirkiness, I don't see this same light-heartedness of tone in FFVII. FFIX however is utterly charming all the way through. It might not have as 'strong' a story as its predecessor-but-one, but for me I think it's the characters which drew me in. I guess it's probably true that for me characters tend to be more important than a story, but for an RPG - presumably a quest in which you are going to be spending a lot of time with these characters - strong characterisation is essential. That and the graphics are beautiful. I always found it odd that Zidane had a tail however - I've never plucked up the courage to attempt a Freudian reading of Final Fantasy IX but nonetheless it might prove interesting...

%&#$ that! I refuse to read it. If you played FFVII, before it was popular, like I did. And didn't know anything about Final Fantasy, or that there were others, then you would know how good a game it was. Course, I am a full Right-brained person and my mind melded with the story and I felt like cloud and had the same emotions he did. Anyone who played it, watched AC or bought CC because they heard about it being good, or just played it because it was popular, I don't care about your opinions as you got a different experience.

If I'm totally off topic I apologize. Feel free to "Virtually" slap me.

EDIT: I also just read the opening to that article, Yes I feel the same way they describe, but thats because any changes would make it a different experience for anyones first time playing. And its flaws are what make it enjoyable. I can't stand to read anymore with the next topic name "Based on a lie?" I refuse to finish this article and will gladly live in my possibly "Delusional" world.

First off it's an article; not a flame (like your post).

So while it observes the viewpoint of both sides and ponders how and why it is recognized as the best jRPG in history; it doesn't outright answer the question posed by the title. It just provides fuel for discussion. Your position, as you already knew I'm sure, is shared by many others who were lured into the FF franchise through 7 and have always maintained a special place for the game that introduced them. You can choose not to read it; it's okay.

I actually like hearing opposing opinions about things I hold dear.

Look I played it when I was younger, It as well as zelda oot is glorified as high as some girlfriends in my mind. Thats how bad a geek I am. Plus my god, I got too into a story at an age where a badly told story can be the most popular fable in someones mind.

(No, I personally did read harry potter, and now hate it. For fans of the series, I own the last book yes, got it second day it came out. Have yet to read it. Lost interest in the series.)

EDIT: For questions of relevance to my argument made by the Harry Potter reference, I don't know. I got done with the last sentence and something in my mind instantly linked to Harry Potter, but I like the statement So I'm keeping it.

I understand why you like it so much; I just find it incredibly ironic that we've actually got one of the people here that is spoken of in the article: "A passionate fanbase digs a moat around a game to defend it against criticism of any sort, even benign curiosity about an aspect of the game that might be improved is treated with open hostility."

By the way, the "Base on a Lie?" portion of the article is about how FF7 gave legitimacy to the Playstation as a dominant system of the era, even though Squaresoft had always worked with Nintendo, and had originally intended for FF7 to be released on the N64. Despite all of the leading titles for segments of the article, they're not actually that critical of the game. The criticism mostly revolves around the fact that it is idolized a bit more than it deserves, and that the game isn't perfect, not that it's actually bad.

I sure as hell don't!

If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. If we both like it, then we can geek-out. But if our opinions are in opposition, we move onto a different subject.

I used to hate Final Fantasy VII, until I completed it in three days flat back in November and came to realise just what a marvellous title it truly is. Bear in mind I also love FFs IX, X, X-2 (yes, I even have a soft spot for this universally-derided installment) and XII. I still enjoyed VIII, but it ranks lower than the others for reasons I would elaborate on but am too hot to spare the energy writing-out. I'm sat next to a radiator, see.

If you do not agree with me, then fair enough. However, if you think that I'm an idiot for holding certain titles close to my heart, you can go and fuck yourself. I refuse to spare the time to bear such bigotry.

Opinion, to me, is little more than dead air.

No I didn't. Read my post again.

I said that you can go and fuck yourself if you think my love for something generally regarded as guff (FFX-2, for example) implies flaws in my personal character.

I don't like the earlier Final Fantasy games. Now, if you do, and I were to conclude that "you're a moron and an intellectual failure" based on your preferences, what would you say?

If you had any respect for yourself, you'd tell me where to stick it.

There's a fine line between objective critical discussion and a bukake circle of contrasting viewpoints ejaculating upon the same spot. What's the point in the latter? It achieves nothing. By all means feel free to express your opinion, but don't expect me to care. Our respective opinions mean little more than dry semen, at the end of the day.

The only kind of really rewarding discussion comes from opposing viewpoints. That's a no brainer. If everyone just "moved on" when they disagreed on things we wouldn't have great games (much less a working civilization).

Your defense is pointlessly high. No one is saying that your love of any game is a flaw in your personal character. I love many games, some of them I hold on an unreasonably high pedestal pedestal as well. We pick all favorites.

I value pragmatism much higher. It seems all people do these days is stand there screaming at each other, assuming that the inherent 'power' of their opinion will be enough penetrate their opponent's counter-offensive.

What we should be working towards is synergy, not the segregation that we have at present. Improvement is dependent upon communication and compromise. Too few people are willing to accept the potential fallability of their own opinion.

In regard to one's taste in media, such debate is utterly pointless. In regard to game design, most of the time you can't plan for success, you just have to do the best with what you have.

I merely said "if."

This topic caught my attention because I've just spent much of the last week explaining why I feel Batman & Robin is a greater technical accomplishment than The Dark Knight on the Gaming World forums. I stated my reasons coherently, concisely and clearly, then I was subjected to a volley of asinine comments that suggested I was an "idiot" and inherently "dumb" for even holding such views. And also, many came to the conclusion that I must be "wrong" because over 51% of people who had seen Batman & Robin didn't agree.

Where did my attempt to have a sensible critical discussion get me?

I agree that most people don't know how to discuss worth a damn.
No one should think anyone's opinion is anything but an opinion but some people take things to heart. And things become very worthless very fast. There's no such thing as being right or wrong when it comes to taste.

However this has nothing to do with challenging viewpoints; which is what the article is doing. It tries to knock some sense into the very same kind of fanboys who shoot you down for stating your Batman & Robin point of view. And it explores why it (and other games like it) have become sacred for some people.

Can never understand a word of what you say when you get into an argument, NPX. Can you keep the penis metaphors down to a minimum though? As much as you want it, I don't think you're ever going to win people over with the view that Batman and Robin is better than The Dark Knight.

Yes.

Isn't everything, after all? As I said, we've got to make the best with what we've got. Why not at least try to do a decent job by standing-back and taking in the bigger picture every now and again?

It's an interesting idea for an article: going back to review a highly commended game once the hype has finally died-down. However, as you say, those fanboys are going to take opposing opinions to heart. Then there are those that lash-out at the opinions of others either in some vain attempt to defend their beloved's integrity, or to affirm and assert their own biases ("You must be an idiot if you don't agree with me").

I think we should only take away what we get from an experience. If you happen to share a similar 'reward' with someone else, then you have a topic for discussion. On the other hand, if your reward is Black and your friend's is White, it's a recipe for disaster.

1. I don't know why you still call my NPX. I haven't gone by that alias in years.

2. Are the penis metaphors really that offensive? Come on... it's not as if I'm posting pictures.

3. I'm not looking to "win people over." I was asked to qualify my opinion, and I obliged. I'm not ashamed of liking Batman & Robin, but I don't try and force it on others either. What gets me is when I'm forced to endure personal attacks because of this preference; especially when they spew from the mouths (or "fingers", I suppose) of complete and utter morons who probably couldn't tell their earhole from their arsehole.

2. Well it'd be nicer if we could have this debate conducted with a bit more class. Your penis methaphors are completely irrelevant and utterly pointless. They don't make your points any clearer, infact all they do is make them more confusing than they already are. Also, for point 3, when you start going on about morons and arseholes, even if you're not referring to these guys, it does make you look like a bit of a jerk and a very unnecessarily aggressive debater. Why don't you just stick to your points without giving a load of wishy washy similes and metaphors?

I think he stands firmly in his belief that nothing can be gained from arguing opposite opinions on something like media. And most times, when dealing with people who won't listen to reason, this is true. I mean, you like game A but this other friend likes game B better...a silly argument might arise over which one is better. However, that isn't always the case. There is a way to intelligently give each other the time of day and try and figure out why the other person prefers one over the other. At the very least you can come out learning a thing or two about why your viewpoints on that certain thing clash.

So it's not entirely useless.

However, that still has nothing to do with the article or with this thread. I don't think it's impossible to discuss objectively how great a game is. Removing hype from something so rich in hype can be tough but I have objectively compared Twilight Princess to other Zelda games for example and I had many really interesting conversation with all my Zelda fanboy friends because of it...as interesting as any videogame related conversation can be anyway.

2. What is this concept your refer to as "class"? I thought the meaning of the metaphor would be clear: there's little to no communication or co-creation amongst the cyberspacian 'commentariat'. Masturbation, as satisfying at it may be for many, is a selfishly indulgent act intended to provide temporary relief. Sexual intercourse, on the other hand, is productive as well as cathartic.

3. We chatted about this on MSN recently, to a degree. I stopped considering other people's opinions because I've become overwhelmed by the sheer volume and diversity of them. There are no discernable absolutes, yet every side of an arguement has its champions. Debate is no longer a pragmatic exercise, but a game of one-upmanship diluted by the impersonal nature of electronic communication. You cannot physically harm me while I'm sat behind this computer screen and you're sat behind yours.

There are no visible consequences. You don't have to bear the guilt of watching some young lad cutting himself with a razor blade because you made a flippant remark that prompted him to reconsider the value of his life.

On the other hand...

... if you're not a complete sociopath, you're required to exercise a degree of restraint in a face-to-face discussion. Also, internet-conducted debate is far too functional. I'm sure you both replied to this topic, as I did, with the express intention of contributing to the discussion. There's no significant deviation from the central line of enquiry.

When talking to a friend, in person, you may be discussing Twilight Princess one minute, then something completely different the next. It's far more organic, and a great deal more relaxed.

My point is that comparing and contrasting opinions online - with people you have no personal association with - is only going to lead to stress. It's like cyber sex: there's no emotional investment other than in your interpretation of what you read on the screen. Basically, you end up talking to yourself.

I would debate back, but I honestly can't understand a word you're saying or what we're discussing anymore. I thought the discussion was about Final Fantasy 7 and if it was overrated. I just asked you to keep the sex stuff out of the topic. It's a discussion about a popular playstation computer game, I don't see why metaphors about slapping your willy around really have any relevance. Just leave it out of the topic. It has nothing to do with anything and is a lousy and utterly pointless metaphor.

Just talk normally, please. (and do not say "what is normal?" and then go into a lengthy discussion about that. Just talk about game - that's what we're debating. If you do, I'll really lose my temper Sticking Out Tongue)

When did this go off-topic? Yes, the current discussion was about whether or not Final Fantasy VII is overrated. There was a little disagreement a few posts before I entered the debate. I quoted CutTheCameras' comment that said she "loves hearing the opinions of others on things she loves."

I then stated my own opinion that such 'debate' is pointless and usually only ends in unecessarily hurt feelings. Re-read my previous posts while bearing this in mind, and you'll find that we're still very much on-topic.

This gave me a giggle. Laugh

In plain, simple English: I was talking about how most people express their opinions, especially online, without considering the feelings of others, or the potential validity of their opinions ("masturbation"). No-one's working-together ("sexual intercourse") to collectively reach an informed conclusion ("pregnancy").

Debate amongst e-nemies isn't productive. Discussing contentious subjects with bona fide friends - whom you have an emotional attachment and/or intellectual understanding with - is much healthier, as you're forced to compromise for the sake of preserving your relationship.

I rather enjoyed the second one, but overall I found my experience with Suikoden to be rather underwhelming. That said, I did pay ninety English pounds each for the first and second installments, and by the time I received them my expectations were at breaking-point, having read a number of incredibly flattering reviews.

But while the gameplay is fairly straightforward and typical of the genre, the visuals in Suikoden II are astonishing. My issue with pixel art is that it's too rough around the edges (literally!), but the artwork in Suikoden II was much smoother and more refined than its predecessor's; which, in my humble opinion, was awfully grainy. That, and the maps were rather bland too.

The Secret of Monkey Island. Ha I havent played that game in ages, It was a good adventure game.
My favourite game of all time is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ( not the new GTA 4 wich is awsome but I cant say that because I dont own a ps3 and have never finished or fully played it ). SanAndreas is fun, long with a gripping storyline and very addictive. My favourite old school game is Chrono's Trigger. It has a unique storyline and Im a sucker for time travel storylines, they got me good.

You guys are going to think Im some kind of U.F.O but I cant lie, I've never played final fantasy, I have on SNES but I dont know I didnt find it that amazing no offence. I want to play the new final fantasy on PS2/3. What makes me like a game is its playability not in game time ( a game can be very long but too hard or boring ) but games where you can play them again and again like Tony Hawks, Sims 2 and Fable ( the whole series ) or games with a very well thought out story line and "Immersia" ( The player and character relationship ) games like metal gear solid have a great story line as well as splinter cell: chaos theory. I also love horror games which can realy freak me the hell out ( and thats hard because Im a hardened Horror fan and have mild apathy when it comes to cheap thrills ) Sillent Hill tops the horror game section for me, I prefer psychological horrors than survival horrors slightly more ( although resident evils dope ).

My worst games are racing games and sport games ( besides skating and basketball ) and I incredibly suck at fighting games like dragon ball Z there's no strategy in them and I tend to get my ass pounded all the time by my younger cousin whos 9 I think thats humiliating enough.

I wish someone could make a Grand Theft Auto Maker wich is fully customizable and user friendly like the rpg maker series but... GTA. Now that would be my favourite hands down.

Notice:
Need a face-set or character sketch/concept P.M me. I draw mostly manga style though and it might take roughly a week

My personal favorite games of all time: Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Harvest Moon, Super Metroid. I've got others that I really, really, really like, but there's only so much room for the "favorites" isn't there? The aforementioned four are ones I could absolutely play over and over and over and over again.

I don't think I could pick and choose what games are my favorite, I have too many.

My collection simply consists of games that I like, not games that are 'rare' or anything/everything, so if I were to put up my list of current games that would sum it up. :3

Some at the top of my head:

Perfect Dark
Secret of Evermore
Ogre Battle
Breath of Fire
Final Fantasy IV

Those are some that popped into my head without giving it much thought; I find that to be a good way for your brain to give you the games that you really liked if you think about it for an instant.

Don't tease the octopus kids!
