What game(s) have you bought/played recently?

[WebSlinger]

Well?

I'm hopefully soon getting my hands on Unreal Tournament 2004 for the PC.

[Pepsigirl]

I don't buy. I rent. Shouldn't this be what game are you currently playing? That made more sense, since a lot of people go back and play old games. The last game I actually bought was Far Cry.

[Daemon]

Do they have to be newely released games?

or just any game that you recently bought?

[WebSlinger]

In hindsight it would make more sense actually.

Jonah, Jade or any of the other mods out there please change the title thread from "bought" to "played" please.

In the meanwhile everyone can still inform us which games they've been playing.

Starting with which game Pepisgirl rented and played last? :D

[WebSlinger]

Do they have to be newely released games?

Can be recently, can be old, can be rented, can be new.

Just basically whatever you've been playing recently is all. :)

[Pepsigirl]

Starting with which game Pepisgirl rented and played last? :D

:) I just rented Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, and Hitman: Contracts, so I'm playing those. I'm also playing Far Cry. And I bought Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow when I bought Far Cry, but I haven't really been playing it, my dad has.

[Daemon]

Well then I just picked up the following a week ago in my ebay frenzy

Wild Arms 1 and 2
Vandal Hearts 1 and 2
Thousand Arms
Legend of Dragoon
Final Fantasy Anthologies and Cronicles
Parasite Eve 1
Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre
Saiyuki
Beyond the Beyond
and finally
Vanguard Bandits.

Although I'm keeping an eye on some Persona and Saga Frontier auctions atm.

[Pepsigirl]

LoD was a great game. A really underrated RPG. Too bad my PS2 refuses to play PSX games now, I would love to go back and play it again :(.

[Daemon]

yeah I tried playing it when it first came out but I had modded my PSX so I couldn't.

Then when I first got my PS2 I rented LoD again to play. I got to the second disc before I quite. Couldn't pull of additions worth crap.

This time around I'm doing alot better and there's not as much hair pulling when I'm trying to do additions...so the game got bumped up a few notches. :p

[WebSlinger]

And here was me thinking I play games too much! lol

I only tend to be fan of first person shooters or beat em-ups.

Trashed about 4 friends of mine at Tekken Tag Tournament the other day, which is just as well considering how hopeless I was against them the FIFA football games and Tony Hawks 3.

[Pepsigirl]

And here was me thinking I play games too much! lol



You should see people's reactions when they come to my house. They look at all my games and then look at me like I'm crazy :rolleyes:.

[alz]

Anyone hammer on The Suffering?

[Matt]

I bought the 'Return of the King' PC game last week, which would be my newest purchase. So far I'm not exactly impressed.
Accursed impulse buying!

[MarvelKnight]

I just barely got an XBox two weeks ago. I'm currently playing The Simpsons: Road Rage and Halo.

[Celisasu]

My most recent purchases were La Pucelle a week and a half ago as well as Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX and Monster Rancher 4 a week ago. I'm mostly working on La Pucelle although I did get to watch my army as Sun Ce get demolished in Romance by Gongsun Zan(he conquered the entire northern area while I was fighting Yan Yan's army and his horde just demolished me).

[Perry Holley]

Jonah, Jade or any of the other mods out there please change the title thread from "bought" to "played" please.
How about I edit it to have both? Will that work?

[Punchy]

Still have Medal of Honor: Frontline and Super Mario Bros. Melee from Blockbuster. I'll be renting something new this week since the wifey gave me 2 for 1 coupons.

[Daemon]

Ooo..maybe I can ask you then.

My last Experience at Playing a RotK game was back on the Genesis with ver 4.

So how are these newer games? I still have a copy of my old RotK 2 Dos version that I play at work whenever I'm bored.

I just wish they'd translate them for the comp and not just port over the console versions..

*sigh*

[Celisasu]

Romance IX is....different from any Romance I've played before to be honest. While in a few ways it's rather interesting overall I still think my favorite was on the SNES(III? IV? I can't remember which number, Koei spits them out so fast that it's easy to mix them up). IX has placed a real low priority on tactics. Strategy is far more important. Indeed, battles take place on the country map so you're seeing all the battles happen simultaniously with little say beyond what formation your unit is in when you send it out of the city. And battles in the city are really really bad things even in comparison to before. By the time I was done fighting Yan Yan I had a bunch of ravaged cities under my rule with only a few in good shape(mostly older ones that I'd kept him from ever visiting). It wasn't pretty. And made it all the easier for Gongsun Zan to take me out(not that I would've had a much better chance if they were in good shape....he just had too many generals with massive armies advancing on me).

[TitoJones]

I just bought MVP Baseball 2004 and Fry Cry and right now I'm playing FryCry and Deus Ex.

[John]

i'm playing through The Suffering on my Xbox and Neverwinter Nights Multiplayer on my pc.

I'm really enjoying the suffering but its a little creepy sometimes!

[Aubergine~!]

My sister bought FFX-2 and I played it.

Tis the girliest game I have ever seen, but still pretty good, all things considered.

[jed108]

Kingdom Hearts on PS2 is what I have been playing a bit recently.

[Jackalman]

Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, weird graphics, great game.

[Corsair]

I've been on a Gran Turismo 3 kick all weekend.

I have wasted many, many, many hours attempting to get gold on all the rally license tests.

[MissKale]

Well since we also got an Xbox a little bit ago (in a moment of insanity) we also picked up a few games for it...

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Project Gotham Racing 2
Panzer Dragoon: Orta
Spiderman the Movie
Knights of the Old Republic
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (Game of the Year edition)
Wrath Unleashed

Then for the Gamecube Sigerson picked up Custom Robo.

I'm more in the Project Gotham 2, and Morrowind playing. While Sigerson (who hates the Star Wars movies) is engrossed in KOTOR...

[WebSlinger]

How about I edit it to have both? Will that work?

Many thanks.

[Sleeper]

After a month looking at the month gathering dust, I finally took the 20 minutes to install UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2004 and I"ve gotta say, so far I've been wading through long loadng screens to periods of joy before waiting again. Fun overall thus far.

[WebSlinger]

Oh man!! The screenshots I've seen of it so far look so cool. Nothing will be able to prepare me for the sheer pleasure of the gameplay.

2003 was a little dissapointing, still fun however.

[Prime]

Last game I rented was NBA Ballers on XBox, but Ive been playing multiplayer Smash Brothers on the Gamecube lately.

[Full Metal Jackass]

Final Fantasy X-2


so I'm a little behind the times :o

[Punchy]

Just rented Pikmin and True Crime: Streets of LA.

[cmdrbond007]

I've been playing Sega Tennis for PS2 in anticipation of the French Open. Playin' on clay, baby!

[Jackalman]

I have just purchased Transformers, I will post back later to tell you what it is like.

[Punchy]

I'm playing Pikmin. Probably the most unique game I've ever played. I'll have to pick it up or wait for #2.

Thanks for the suggestions Darth and MissKale

[Rocket13]

Miss Kale,
Have you had a chance to play any of the new XBOX games you mentioned? Particulary I am interested in Spiderman, Crimson Skies and KOTR.

[Jackalman]

I have just purchased Transformers, I will post back later to tell you what it is like.
I have now played it and it is good.

[Jagatai_Khan]

Kya: Dark Lineage
Gladius
Wrath Unleashed

[TitoJones]

Finally got to playing Jax 2 and R&C 2.

[Mike Pothier]

I'm playing Pikmin. Probably the most unique game I've ever played. I'll have to pick it up or wait for #2.

Thanks for the suggestions Darth and MissKale

No prob. ;)

Currently, I'm replaying Super Mario Sunshine, and plan on going through most of my other GC games. Starting school soon, money is tight, so I can't spend like I used to. But I'll definitely be picking up Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime: Echos when they are released.

[WebSlinger]

Original Unreal Tournament.

Still great fun to play today, just warming up for 2004.

[MarvelKnight]

just bought Mech Assault, I really should have bought an XBox a long time ago.

[Punchy]

Bought Turok Evolution a few days ago.

And contrary to popoular opinion, I think it's a good game. I'm having fun with it anyway.

[Crazed Monk On a Mission]

On the PC I'm playing Hitman: Contracts currently.

[Pepsigirl]

Beat The Curse of Monkey Island for the 50th time.

[Alex]

I bought Animal Crossing for 5 bucks yesterday.
...
It was 5 bucks!

[Jade69/Legolaslady]

I played Scattegories with hubby, his brother, and his brother's girlfriend.

[TitoJones]

First night playing COH and I had to force myself off of the game.

Got to level six and now I can levitate. Can't wait to play tomorrow.

[Punchy]

Went to GameSpot today and traded in Mortal Kombat: Deadley Alliance for the GC and Hulk and Spider Man for the GBA and got Metal Arms: A Glitch in the System.

I've only just started it but it's pretty fun.

[I Must Break U]

I bought Red Dead Revolver. It was good to say the least. I found it to be real short but hell most games are short when you play them two days straight.

[sheets]

I just bought The Chronicles of Riddick the other day. It's very cool, especially when you sneak up behind someone and jab a screwdriver into his ear :D

[meethraa]

I downloaded the new Maniac Mansion edition and played a bit but got all my characters captured in about 5 minutes...

[Corsair]

Dug out Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends today.

This series has to be the ultimate stress reliever. Slaughter by the hundreds!

[Mike Pothier]

I'm currently re-obsessed with Half-life, which explains my new avatar. I'm replaying Half-life and two of its add-ons, Opposing Forces and Blue Shift.

*sighs* Who do I have to sacrifice to get Half-life 2 out quicker?

[Crazed Monk On a Mission]

Whomever brokered the ATI/HL2 deal

you lose motivation when you've already made millions before the games finished.

[Celisasu]

I recently purchased Mario Party 5 due a desire for an extra party game besides Super Smash Bros Melee and a few sports games. Haven't really played it yet though. It'll get some use once I have some guests over. Also saw Lost Kingdoms for a low price and new so I got that.

[Chuckg]

Got KOTOR a week ago.

I am so totally obsessed.

(And yes, I've already seen both endings and 90% of the side quests.(*) Wow. Just. freaking. Wow.)




(*) Cheat codes, of course. I'm not playing this game for the die rolling!

[Celisasu]

I can't stay that focused on a game. The last time I did so was when I got Disgaea. I'm barely in the the sewers on that first world where I'm supposed to poison the rancor to sneak in in KOTOR. And I've had the game since about a month after it came out. *Sweatdrop* I've really got to kick the habit of not finishing games. Oh well, at least I'm almost done with Shadow Hearts.

[Athena Bast]

SSX 3

This game is so much WHEE!! I love how the tricks a so much easier to accomplish. And how the characters so so much more customizable.

[Slayven]

Tao Feng. other then breast phsyics and wall jumping. meh

[Draconomicon]

Breath of Fire 3
I already played 4, but I feel 3 is far longer and while the fighting sys is inferior, the dragon morph is superior!

So far I find the characters in BoF4 more likeable, but BoF4 is giving me more for my money.

[Punchy]

I've been playing this Pop Cap game on Yahoo called Alchemy.
http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/al.html

Pop Cap creates some of the most addictive games ever.

[I Must Break U]

I am currently playing Mafia. Overall the game is descent. The drving is friggin horrible. However it fulfills my need to just be an all around badass.

[Brad Curran]

I'm rented Zelda: Four Swords yesterday. It's a lot of fun, and toggling between the four Links works like a charm. Now, if only I had the GBA connections for multi-player. Also been playing NFL 2K2 for the Cube, and leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl. That's always fun.

[Doug W]

I finally got Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, last week for only $20 bucks!
I'm doing pretty well, it seems like every time I sit down to play it I beat a boss, I've already finished the first hand full of levels but I'm trying to go through and look for secrets before I move on.

this new castlevania is fun but its alot like some of the other 'fast-action' games like Devil May Cry and Shinobi and I'm geting a little tired of 3-5 hit comboing guys to death.

[Punchy]

I flew to the east coast and back this week. I replayed LOTR: The Two Towers on my GBA.

[Jade69/Legolaslady]

I went to a friend's of a friends' house and watched them play LOTR Risk for a few turns. It was pretty fun!

[Athena Bast]

I went to a friend's of a friends' house and watched them play LOTR Risk for a few turns. It was pretty fun!
Until your goblins are 2 elves shy of taking over MiddleEarth when that stupid Hobbit throws the ring in Mount Doom. :mad:

[Dr. J]

I picked up House of the Dead 2 and a lightgun. It's a lot of fun, but the lightgun doesn't seem to be as accurate as the one in the arcade.

[Pepsigirl]

Spidey 2 and Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Aaand I still haven't beaten Hitman: Contracts.

[Glaucon]

I finally picked up Golden Sun: The Lost Age for Gameboy Advance. I loved the first one and this one is also very good.

[Patient Boy]

I'm currently trying to complete the last challenge of Tony Hawk's Underground.

[Pepsigirl]

Freedom Fighters and the new Thief.

[Pepsigirl]

Thief kinda sucked. I returned it, and I'm still playing Freedom Fighters, but also playing FIFA 2004.

[TitoJones]

Spidey 2 and Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Aaand I still haven't beaten Hitman: Contracts.

Do you like Hitman? That's next on my playing list and I just wanted to know how somebody felt about it.

As for me I'm playing
Fight Night
Front Mission 4

[Punchy]

I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow so the wifey picked up Fire Emblem for me for the flights.

[Alex]

I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow so the wifey picked up Fire Emblem for me for the flights.
Lucky you, fire emblem is nintendos shining force!

[TitoJones]

Lucky you, fire emblem is nintendos shining force!

Yes Fire Emblem is the stuff. My only gripe is that it's too short.

Hopefully there's a sequel in the works.

[Pepsigirl]

Do you like Hitman? That's next on my playing list and I just wanted to know how somebody felt about it.

As for me I'm playing
Fight Night
Front Mission 4

Yeah, it's really good. It uses some of the missions from earlier games, since he's having flashbacks, but if you liked the first two games you'll definitely like this one.

EDIT: By "some" I meant that only 4 of the missions are new, and by "earlier games" I mean the first one.

[Alex]

Shining Force: Ressurection of the dark dragon.
OHHHH!
The graphics are prettier, and the story makes more sense, and the main character talks now! and theres new characters aND AND AND!!!

Yep, its for the GBA

[TitoJones]

Sudeki

Leagacy of Kain: Defiance

[StoneGold]

Just purchased Doom3 today. Haven't gotten a chance to play it yet even.

[Wonder Bebs]

It's actually been a long time since I last picked up at game. But, the last one I did pick up was Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the GBA. Mainly because, at my boyfriend's insistance, I had become severely addicted to Fighters, mainly on the GBA (kinda blows that there's so few for the system that are good. :/)

But, I'm still playing it and loving it to death. But, I need to experiment with it more. So far the only charcter I'm good with is Sakura.

[Jade69/Legolaslady]

We got a 5 box set of Tiberian Sun, Tiberian Sun: Firestorm, Command & Conquer: Renegade, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, and Yuri's Revenge for $19.99.
Hubby also reserved a copy of Fable and got some cool DVD thingy.

[The Gunslinger]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

[Celisasu]

I got Tales of Symphonia and the Grand Theft Auto Double Pack(Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City). X-Box version of the Auto stuff. I'm utterly addicted to Tales of Symphonia. Haven't tried out the Grand Theft Auto games because I keep playing Tales.

[Punchy]

Madden 2005 and Robotech

[TitoJones]

Madden 2005 and Robotech

Got Madden in the mail today, I felt like a kid on Christmas day.

I liked the Robotech game, wish they made a sequel.

[Dr. J]

I picked up a bundle pack of a NeoGeo Pocket Color and six games, among them really really fantastic versions of Samurai Shodown and The King of Fighters.

[sallizar]

Sudeki
NFL2K5
Leagacy of Kain: DefianceHow is Sudeki?? I just got NFL2k5... Great game

[cmdrbond007]

ESPN NFL2K5... playing franchise mode with the Tampa Bay Bucs, second season.

[Punchy]

Got Madden in the mail today, I felt like a kid on Christmas day.

I liked the Robotech game, wish they made a sequel.

I really felt like a kid when I tried playing. What a frustrating game to learn.

I really dig the visuals of Robotech.

[TitoJones]

How is Sudeki?? I just got NFL2k5... Great game

It's average at best. I like the combat system but everything else is just so-so.

If you have a choice between this game or something else, I would recommend you pick up that something else.

[Forefinger]

Red Dead Revolver, it's cool.

[Freelancer]

I haven't purchased anything recently, but I've played a lot of Resident Evil Outbreak Online, and I just replayed Resident Evil Code: Veronica X for old time's sake. Both are great games.

[DF2506]

I've been playing the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker alot lately. I started a new game on it! Great game, imo!

Oh and I also a demo disc for my X-box (got the most recent X-box mag). This is what it had on it:

Men Of Valor---This first-person shooter is set in Vietnam! Its one of the new wave of Vietnam shooters to come our way! Its a pretty cool game, imo. The graphics are great, the controls are good, the rumble feature kicks in alot (making the game feel more real), and it seems like it'll be a fun game! Its also a great change of pace, cause I mean..how many more WW2 shooters do we want to see (aside: though I do admit that I am still interested in seeing that Call of Duty shooter for the X-box...) ? Its cool to see a different type of war shooter game!

Full Spectrum Warrior----Talk about a different type of war game! This game is a TACTICAL war game. That means you tell your troops (you command two groups of 'em in the demo) where to go! And when there's trouble: they do the shooting! So its a very different type of game! The people who like first person shooters would NOT like this game..but people who like more tactical type games...may like this one. I think its cool (and it has great graphics! ).

Thief: Deadly Shadows---In this game, you play a thief and the gameplay is all about STEALTH. You have to stick the shadows and sneak past guards. In the demo, you have a training mission and then real mission. In the training, you get the lowdown on how to sneak past guards using stealth and also how to use items like clubs and water arrorws to get past those guards. The game is very much about stealing stuff. So, no, its not a kids game. lol. It is, however, a fun game. This might be the one I liked the most (aside: though I did like Men of Valor alot too! ).

Juiced---What a strange title eh? Can you guess what type of game it is? No...well...its a RACING game. A cool one too from the looks of this demo. In the demo, you can choose from three different cars, but you can change the colors of those cars and also put cool drawings on the cars (aka mod them). The graphics are pretty good and the racing seems good. Though, I'm not very good at it. I've never been that good at driving games...

Robotech---This is a first-person shooter. Your in control of a robot and you go around shooting other robots. Its an ok game. I don't really have much to say about it. Prob the demo I like least.

The Red Star---The Red Star is based on a comic book. Its about..well..I'm not sure what its about. Its got something to do with Russia though. Anyway, from what I played of the demo, it is a neat game. Its a 2-D shooter game (kind of like Contra...expect you can go into the forground and background and the graphics are better! ). I liked what a saw. Good graphics and interesting gameplay.

So, anyway, those are the demos I played! Thief and Men of Valor were the best, then Full Spectrum, then Juiced, The Red Star, and Robotech comes dead last.

Over-all, a great demo disc! Best one in awhile.

Also of note: There is a video of Fable on the disc and its a walkthrough of NPC interaction and it shows some combat too! Its a pretty cool video, imo!! I liked how the graphics looked and the NPC interaction and combat looks like ALOT of fun! The more I see and hear about this game: the more I want it!!!! Can't wait!

DF2506
" I'm looking forward to Fable ALOT! Jade Empire is my #1 most wanted game, but Fable is #2!!! A close #2! "

[Basara]

It's average at best. I like the combat system but everything else is just so-so.

I agree about the combat system of Sudeki, but will have to disagree with you on two points:

1) Visuals - The developers went all out on visuals. This game is pretty when the programmers want you to relax and gruesome when they want you to feel threatened. When you first fight enemies, it is over the mutilated bodies of dead villagers (even their pets and livestock). There's a lot of detail in the visuals of the game. It's definately a high point.

2) Music - The score for Sudeki is very good. I don't buy many game soundtracks, but I am seriously considering picking up this one.

Unfortunately, the game suffers in terms of length, characterization, and storytelling. It's a short game, easily beatable in under 20 hours. The characters are rather bland, even though they are voiced by competant voice actors. How can you get good actors and not write a good story for them? When the most interesting aspects of the game still can't make the blandest character of the game (Elco) remotely interesting, you have problems with the story. It's predictable too with no surprises. There are also too many WTF? moments of the game like the ending, or should I say the lack of an ending.

If you have a choice between this game or something else, I would recommend you pick up that something else.

Get this one when it hits bargain bins. The good parts are worth it (especially the combat system, the fights in Sudeki rock!!), but the lack of good story telling and interesting characters really don't justify a full price purchase.

[DF2506]

^^^When I rented Sudeki, I liked the characters, story, the combat, the visuals, and everything else too.

I'm not going to say its the best game ever (for instance, KOTR and FF10 and 2 are definitly better then Sudeki) but IMO, Sudeki is a fun game. I had alot of fun with it.

I think the visuals are cool, the character designs are good, the story was interesting (though, ya, I've seen better. I still liked what I saw though), and I liked the rest too.

I have not beaten the game, so I don't know how the ending is, but I did get to play enough of the game to know that I like it and would definitly buy it when it comes down in price.

And I may even rent it again sometime.

Sudeki is a good game, imo!

Of course, it should not noted that I'm not nit-picky about my games (for the most part). IF something entertains me..if I have fun with it, then I'm happy!

I mean..isn't that what gaming is all about? Having fun?

I had fun playing Sudeki.

DF2506
" Thinks that Fable is going to be THE Rpg of this year though! It looks amazing! "

[Punchy]

The wifey bought me a suprise gift because I'd been doing so much work around our new home. She bought me Metroid Prime. Which I of course already have.

So I exchanged it today for Viewtiful Joe. I haven't had a chance to play it yet though.

[sallizar]

It's average at best. I like the combat system but everything else is just so-so.

If you have a choice between this game or something else, I would recommend you pick up that something else.Thanks for all the Sudeki reviews... I'll catch it when it hits $20... Next purchase is Burnout 3 then...

[dougputhoff]

About the only game I have time for now is "Neopets."

[Pepsigirl]

For less than $50 I got, NBA Street 2 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds on Xbox, and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for PS2.

[TitoJones]

You got three good games there.

Right now I'm playing Red Dead Revolver and The Chronicles of Riddick.

[Viper]

Pulled out the old Zelda: Orcarina of Time. Still fun after all these years

[Punchy]

Pulled out the old Zelda: Orcarina of Time. Still fun after all these years

I have it on the Zelda 4-pack for GC. That game ain't easy.

[Citrus-Man]

I just picked up the PC editions of Halo and the fist Max Payne for about $30 total on clearance. I'm looking forward to throwing them into the machine when I get home. They should kill time sufficiently while I wait for my new video card to arrive and I can finally play Doom 3.

[GaranRomia]

Right now its a dose of Nfl2k5, FF9, and bit of Breath of Fire 3

[Your Imaginary Pal]

I can't put down Vice City.

I've beaten the game at least 7 times, but I just can't stop. I need to finish FFX but I put it down for nearly a year and will have to start over. And Thats a lot of game.

Has the New Metal Gear come out yet? I think I'll look into that when a decent check comes in.

[Dr. J]

A Gamecrazy close to me is doing an annual "buy two, get one free" sale on used games for older consoles, so I managed to get Hydro Thunder, Chu Chu Rocket, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica for less than eight dollars. My mind is boggled.

[johnnyhammer]

The last console game I bought was Prince of Persia for PS2. Played it for a week or so.

Then I bought FFXI.

God help me.

I've been playing FFXI since mid Dec, and I don't seem to be slowing down.

My PS2 got fed up and left. Took my dog and my truck with it.

Metal Gear:Snake Eater and GTA: San Andreas are the only two games that stand a chance at tearing me away from my PC.

MMO's are evil.

[meethraa]

I'm currently playing Project Zero (Fatal Frame in the US) and I'm loving it. It's so much scarier and interesting than Code Veronica...

After this I'll either go for the sequel or pick up Silent Hill 2-4.

[Donald M.]

I just picked up Star Ocean: Till the End of Time the other day. Haven't got too far yeat, but so far I'm enjoying it. The first Enix RPG of the current console generation wears it's Squaresoft/Final Fantasy influences on its sleeve. That may bother some, but I have no problem with it. The FF cinematic style works really well for console RPGs and while I still enjoy more traditional old-school style games, I'd actually like to see more RPGs emulate the Final Fantasy style.

It's for this reason that I'm looking forward to Dragon Warrior VIII even though I've never played any of the other games in the series.

[Jade69/Legolaslady]

Hubby and I played a D&D arcade game at the movie theater the other day :) Tons o fun until I died :(

[cmdrbond007]

I'm addicted to NHL2K5 right now... I've got the Tampa Bay Lightning in franchise mode... trying to win back-to-back Stanley Cups... played about 20 games so far...

[TitoJones]

[Patient Boy]

In anticipation of GTA: San Andreas, I've been aiming for 100% completion of Vice City.

[Sanagi]

Played Zelda Four Swords(cube) with some friends. Had a blast.

[IQ!]

Fable. This game is a whole lot better than I imagined it to be.

[TheBestRobot]

Second Sight

A little easy, but a nice twist on the stealth genre with a good, engaging storyline. It's whetted my appetite for Timesplitters 3 majorly.

[El Chupacabra]

I recently participated in the World of Warcraft (WoW) MMORPG stress test beta. It was open for a little over a week. I've been playing MMORPGs since Ultima Online first came out ... and besides UO, I have not enjoyed any of the more recent games such as EQ, DAoC, SWG, and so forth as they are all just to boring for me.

I've been waiting for World of Warcraft, as Bilzzard is usually solid, and after playing alongside my bro for a week, I have to say the game is FUN. Plain and simple. It eliminates needless downtime that all other MMORPGs have. You can solo with any class if you want. You are constantly doing quests that yield good EXP AND nice items (which you can pick from - not just 1 item per quest), the quests are fun and involving and have the Blizzard humor/style to them. The graphics are very nice and the world is colorful and fun to look at. All the classes seem to be varied well enough and PvP/raiding was fun.

If you are an MMORPG fan or looking for a good one to start with, then look for World of Warcraft. I believe the release date is aiming for November ... but Open Beta should be around sometime in October.

[Mike Pothier]

I just picked up Morrowind for the PC. Game of the Year addition.

First the bad.
Combat needs to be worked on. I hope they totally revamp it for Elder Scrolls 4. Straight hack and slash would have been better.
Also, the character designs suck. Badly. Everybody looks hideous.
And the journal is a mess.

Thats pretty much it. This game is gorgeous. I'm talking about, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Its just amazing, the size and detail of this land. The quests are very fun. I know I haven't even scratched the surface, and I completed over a dozen. I'm looking forward to more. Right now I'm a ranger/fighter dude, like I always am. :p Anyway, this game just plain rocks.

[Jagatai_Khan]

Well?

I'm hopefully soon getting my hands on Unreal Tournament 2004 for the PC.

Advance Wars for the Gameboy Advance. Damn, it rocks.

I plan to get Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Golden Sun as soon as the money materializes.

[UniqueFrequency]

Advance Wars for the Gameboy Advance. Damn, it rocks.

I plan to get Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Golden Sun as soon as the money materializes.

get FFTA first. Golden Sun will probably drive you insane

I'm on Pokemon FireRed now..

[meethraa]

Currently trying to finish POP: Sands Of Time, but I'm stuck at one of those points where you have to repeat the same stressful sequence time and time again and end up dying always at the same spot.

Just one month to San Andreas, assuming he comes out at the same time here... and that better be the case!

EDIT: October 20th! Yay!

[Punchy]

Advance Wars for the Gameboy Advance. Damn, it rocks.

I plan to get Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Golden Sun as soon as the money materializes.

Is that Dorcas from Fire Emblem on your avatar?

[sixstringguild]

Burnout 3 - my vote for game of the year. it is just FUN, no bones about it.
Xmen Legends - if you are a comics fan, get this game. it is fun as well. the graphics arent' the best, but they don't detract from the experience either...

[Celisasu]

I just purchased Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Haven't started it yet though.

[hitman]

I bought both Tiger Woods 2005 & X-Men Legends

[Michael P]

This past weekend, I caved and bought Kingdom Hearts. Wow.

[Bolo Musashi]

Recently bought Def Jam: Fight for New York (XBox) and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GC).

[Punchy]

I've dusted off Metroid: Prime and want to finish it (I think I'm only 1/3 of the way through or so). What a beautiful game, I'm reminded of this every time I put it in.

[Dom]

Just traded in some games, and I am no frustrated over MGS: Twin Snakes for GC. Def Jam: Fight for New York on XboX is really good.

[UniqueFrequency]

just got Dawn Of War today.. so far so great!!

[I Must Break U]

Man i just bought live 2005! I am loving it.

[cmdrbond007]

I borrowed MVP 2004 for PS2 from a friend... I might pick it up on eBay sometime, even though it'll be extremely out of date for next year since Montreal is relocating to Washington... If only the game had a create-a-team feature... :(

[The Fury]

Got the new Star Ocean game today, great so far.

[Uatu]

I'm playing Katamari and Legends and Jak & Daxter the most so far.

[Jade69/Legolaslady]

Fable has been helping me while I'm dealing with no computer.

[Mike Pothier]

I just bought Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. I'm falling in love all over again. Damn, they remade this game well.

In fact, I'm such a good mood, I just ordered Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for my PC. I haven't played it yet, so I thought, what the hell? :D

[Punchy]

Fire Emblem is the single most engrossing GBA game I've ever played.

I wonder if the GC version is going to be a direct adaptation or different.

[Glaucon]

X-Men: Legends for the Gamecube. Great game.

[cmdrbond007]

I borrowed ESPN Baseball on PS2 from a buddy at work... I like WSB 2K3 better... hopefully ESPN Baseball 2K5 is $20....

[Lightbend]

Katamri Damarci. Proof that recreational drugs in Japan are a whole lot stronger than they are here.

I'm talking three tabs away from an overdose, people.

[cmdrbond007]

Just bought NBA 2K5 for PS2... Moved the Orlando Magic to Tampa... Tampa Bay Thunder... I'm in franchise mode (Association) right now... overall, not a bad game... for $20, you can't beat it...

[TitoJones]

Just received XMen Legends, Sly 2, and Vietful Joe.

Right now playing the hell out of XMen.

[DrewTheXenocide]

Just got Jak II. Only played the first couple o' missions. Gonna try and get some more time in tomorrow.

[North]

The Bards tale for x box.

Anyone who likes rpg will probaly enjoy this.

I do

[GaranRomia]

Guilty Gear #Reload
Fable
NHL2K5

[cmdrbond007]

College Hoops 2K5...

[Rachel Grey]

Pharaoh.

Nice little change of pace from all the RPGs. :)

[pennywisdom]

X-Men: Legends for the Gamecube. Great game.
I was thinking about trying this game. :)

Incidentally, does anyone have any word on the GoldenEye sequel being released on GameCube? Is it out yet? Is it any good? I don't play videogames too often, but the original GoldenEye was one of my all-time favorites. I'm definitely looking forward to the new one.

[Bolo Musashi]

Recently acquired Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Viewtiful Joe.

[Ferris McFly]

I was thinking about trying this game. :)

Goldeneye is out on all formats. Its not a sequel to Goldeneye so don't get your hopes up. They have just used the Goldeneye name as a marketing tool and to get a gimmick in the game (the rouge agent you play as has a special golden eye). The game itself is ok but nothing new to the first person genre. Everyone should know this game is not made by Rare like the previous Goldeneye and has nothing to do with the N64 classic.

As well as this I have also just bought GTA for the GBA. Try saying that several t imes when your drunk ;)

[rac]

I don't buy/play many games.
I have recently finished Second Sight on the PS2, and thought it was great.
Still haven't got bored of Spidey2 yet.

Have to wait for christmas before I get San Andreas...

[SAMAS]

Most Recent for me have been:

Katamari Damacy
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Jak and Daxter(Hey, I only just finished the Ratchet Trilogy, why not move on to Jak?)

[Pepsigirl]

Just beat MGS3, now I have to go back and finish San Andreas...

[Pepsigirl]

I'm playing Half-Life 2, I ordered The Sims 2 off Amazon, and KOTOR 2 just came in the mail. :D

[UniqueFrequency]

for PC - Lord Of the Rings - The Battle For Middle-Earth. one of the best games i've played this year!!

[TitoJones]

Halo 2
March Madness 2005
Sly 2

[mgs]

someone got me, Madden 2005 for the PC. *drools*


I love you Madden 2005!!!!!! :D

[Johnny Morningstar]

San Andreas.

I'm shooting mfers with two uzis or two nines! Ah, and this is the first game I've played where I can use a silencer.

Also, a Ms. Pac Man/Galaga/etc. plug and play joystick game. I gotta break in the stick and get used to firing using my left hand.

[zombie]

I went and bought an Xbox today, and got Def Jam Fight For NY for it. So that's what I've been playing lately.

[pirulaso]

went out and bought otogi 1. for twenty bucks. its alot of fun. the centipede is great. (i have run into some money so i decidwed to play all the games i missed.)

x-men legends. i enjoy it thoroughly.

[Slayven]

POP 2
and Shaman king power of spirit

[Mike Pothier]

I just got a new graphics card installed in my computer!

So now I'm able to play Knights of the old Republic.

Oh, how sweet this game is. *goes back to playing*

[Pedalhome]

Picked up Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced a little while ago, good stuff!

[Celisasu]

I bought Metroid Prime 2, Halo 2, and Ratchet and Clank 3.


But for some reason I beat Evolution Worlds and I'm playing Crystal Chronicles.

[Sanagi]

Starfox Assault - rented and played through it. It's good. I like it better than Starfox 64, and it's miles ahead of the frustrating Starfox Adventures. But I still feel like they haven't been able to capture the fun of the original game... And like in Starfox 64, any mission that isn't flying in an arwing feels like a letdown. One thing to note is that the multiplayer is actually good, not a drab afterthought(like, say, in Metroid Prime 2). You can put in whatever vehicles you want, so you can jump in an arwing to try and blast your friends from above, sending them scurrying for cover. I don't see it having the lasting interest of something like Timesplitters 3, but it's pretty cool.

[Urusai Wrangler]

Working my way through Doom 3, Unreal Championship 2, and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on Xbox. PSP has me busy with Ridge Racer of late, and World of Warcraft is still pretty hot on the notebook.

Next up is Destroy All Humans and Conker: Live and Reloaded.

[Domo Goddess]

I bought Chrono Cross recently.
I was told that it was a very hard to find title.

I still play SC 2 at the arcade.

[Punchy]

Starfox Assault - rented and played through it. It's good. I like it better than Starfox 64, and it's miles ahead of the frustrating Starfox Adventures.

I've been playing Adventures (gotta love the used bin) lately and I absolutely love it. Why do you think its frustrating?

[SAMAS]

Super Mario Sunshine and Def Jam: Fight for New York.

[Jagatai_Khan]

Age of Mythology

Totally. Frickin. Awesome.

[GUYANATHUGG]

Jade Empire

[Taltos]

I've almost finished Project Snow Blind.

[Sanagi]

I've been playing Adventures (gotta love the used bin) lately and I absolutely love it. Why do you think its frustrating?
1. It shouldn't have been a Starfox game. There's almost no flying and the old characters are hardly in it.
2. Clumsy controls, especially the menus.
3. Bad acting, boring story.
4. Too much backtracking.
5. Really annoying parts like the T.Rex battle.

Yeah, but ... like ... besides that.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Now playing Max Payne 2, Megaman Zero, Fable, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

[The Fury]

Tekken 5 - and it is about time also. Damn delay between NTSC and PAL.

[Punchy]

I've been playing TimeSlitters: Future Perfect

[Prelude]

I'm currently playing Dynasty Warriors 5 on the PS2. After playing DW3, DW4, and several of their expansion games, this is the first time I plan to completely max out every character (48). It's taking a while. I'm pretty much done with the good characters, now I only have to play with the crappy ones.

Age of Mythology

Totally. Frickin. Awesome.
Most definitely. I could rot in front of my computer playing that game for entire afternoons. I'm wondering if they come out with any sequels for the series.

[ocelotrevs]

I got Ridge Racer V the other day (I know it's old, but it was only £4)
I can't say I enjoy it all that much.
I prefer Ridge Racer Type 4

[Prelude]

Like the post before the previous one, I'm still playing Dynasty Warriors 5. I already completed everything possible a while ago, now I'm just wasting precious time and brain cells away mindlessly hacking at outmatched generals and peons. I'm anticipating the expansion pack.

[Sanagi]

I'm still fiddling with Mega Man Battle Network 5 even though I kind of hate it. This series is definitely past its prime, although 5 is at least better than 4 was.

I really need to get a new GBA game. I'm starting to get bored of all the ones I've got.

Though I could still enjoy FF Tactics Advance if it had more than two save files.

[GUYANATHUGG]

Farenheit and Pirates.

[Mike Pothier]

I just bought Tales of Symphonia. For $10. :D

[MrT]

Call of Duty 2! Its an awsome game, except i had to swap my CDRW for a DVD drive... and plus my video card isnt good enough to cope with the graphics. So im gonna have to update it. So far ive almost finished the British campaigns, just putting up with a slightly glitchy/jerky graphics, its killing me. But its still an amazing game.

[BlairH]

Guess who can run it in full detail with everything set at max, and can consistently get 60+ frames per second?

Trout sniffer.

[Domo Goddess]

I'm currently playing Soul Calibur 3 only.
Sometimes I switch back to SC 2.

[Rachel Grey]

Finally I have a decent graphics card and wow.

KOTOR
Guild Wars
SW:Jedi Academy
hell even a heavily modded Diablo 2 :p

[Avalanche]

I've been playing the hell out of World of Warcraft.

[Smokin' J]

Just got SSX on Tour and Resident Evil 4 over the last few days, Both games are great. I have always enjoyed the SSX series and the ski & custom rider options are great add ons. This is a must buy if you are a fan of the series. Now Resident Evil 4 has to be one of the best games I have played in the last 5 years with it's simple game play and outstanding graphics. Its to hard to step away from RE4 once you are taken in.

[billdo75]

Geometry Wars Evolved on my Xbox 360. Damn that game's fun!! And cheap, to boot!

[Bakema NL]

I bought X-men legends 2 - Rise of the Apocalypse and Time splitters - Future perfect for the Gamecube today.

[Chip Whitley]

Burnout: Revenge for PS2

[Domo Goddess]

My Soul Calibur 2 game died on me yesterday. :mad:
My PS 2 just does not like that game !

[zombie]

We rented the new Prince Of Persia tonight. I haven't played any others in the series, but this one seems pretty neat so far.

[cactusmaac]

Just finished Jedi Academy on the X-Box.

A really fun game, hope there's a sequel.

Currrently playing Burnout 3 and Panzer Dragoon Orta.

[cactusmaac]

Rented Revenge Of The SIth, King Kong and Half-Life 2.

ROTS is terribly boring and really sluggish. Big disappointment.

Haven't played KK yet.

I'm just not feeling it with Half-Life. It's very well-designed but the setting, weapons and enemies aren't interesting me.

[Chip Whitley]

Just bought:

Dragon Quest 8 (PS2)
Sly 2: Band of Thieves (PS2)

[666MasterOfPuppets]

The Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age (XBOX).

[The Mirrorball Man]

I've just bought and finished F.E.A.R.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

I've just bought and finished F.E.A.R.

For what platform? Any good?

[The Mirrorball Man]

For what platform? Any good?
For my PC (which was almost not up to the task, I have to admit). FEAR is a very good, sometimes very creepy FPS, with a very impressive AI and excellent level design, though the environements, enemies and weapons get very repetitive.

[BlairH]

For my PC (which was almost not up to the task, I have to admit). FEAR is a very good, sometimes very creepy FPS, with a very impressive AI and excellent level design, though the environements, enemies and weapons get very repetitive.

I agree.

I've been playing a lot of Perfect Dark Zero and Condemned recently.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

For my PC (which was almost not up to the task, I have to admit). FEAR is a very good, sometimes very creepy FPS, with a very impressive AI and excellent level design, though the environements, enemies and weapons get very repetitive.

Thanks for the info. That means I won't be getting this game. The same happened (apparently, haven't played it yet) with the latest CastleVania installment: very repetitive environments. However, if you, by any chance, have played it, I'd like your opinion.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

I agree.

I've been playing a lot of Perfect Dark Zero and Condemned recently.

Lucky bastard... ;)

So? Do they live up to the hype?

[Lubichev]

Perfect Dark is a great on-line game. Hard as hell, I find.

Gun has been a lot of fun so far.

anybody got any Xbox360 Gamertags to add to the community?

[Corsair]

Thread hasn't seen any action in a while...

Picked up Super Mario Sunshine, Ninja Gaiden, and Gran Turismo 4 this weekend.

Haven't gotten to Ninja Gaiden yet, but Mario is more fun than I thought it'd be.

Gran Turismo is everything it ought to be. Although it is the only game I've ever played that made me wish the PS2 controller had trigger buttons like the XBox. My thumb is killing me from jamming on the accelerator button.

[GremlinClr]

My local Sears is having a huge game sale, (maybe yours as well, I would check) all Gamecube games 50% off plus a crapload of PS2 and Xbox titles. I bought MGS3 and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for $10 a piece.

As for the "played recently" I've dusted of Deus Ex and am playing that again.

[Unknown_Jun Kazama]

I bought Death by Degrees about 2 weeks ago and right when I got home I started playing and didn't even get past the tutorial and had to take it back. It had glitches and kept freezing up and I couldn't play. So I got another one and now I've played for 20 hours and now I need to take it back because of glitches. But I don't have the exchange reciept. I lost it. I almost beat the game once, too.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

I just got Jade Empire.

It's very similar to Knights Of The Old Republic in its gameplay.

[moon knight]

i got metroid prime hunters last week

[hoffmandu]

1. Hulk: Ultimate Destruction- pretty awesome, only went through a few levels before I dropped it, not because of uninterest, but because I picked up...

2. Warriors- Super cool game, liked the action, liked the tone. I'm a fan of the film too. The last 6 or 7 levels are the actual movie, not something I expected at all. haven't beat it yet, but I will.

3. X-Men Legends 2- Damn cool game thus far, only on act 2 though. The control scheme is a little different, so it took some getting used to but all in all, definitely a BA game. Something about playing Iceman in his OG costume really makes my nerd meter rise.

[Chou Blaster]

Most recently palyed;

Rampage: Total Destruction; No I did not bu y it, at a visit, good mindless fun with giant monsters. (And has Arcade Mode, and World Tour mode. THree game si none, though all same thing, just different feel.. AN di loved the FMV seemed liek a twisted verison of Incredible sin the format.)

Shadow Hearts; TO the New World; Not use dto fighting system an dplot i s meh, but I love the characters.

Frank: THi spoor Bus Stop Sign, well no lnoger will you cry! I'll shall call you, Bus Stop Saber! (Literaly, takes a random object and adds it to his saber, has a new weapon.)

[darkkeeperjr]

Just started playing "god of war". so for a real good game. had seven sorrows.
couldn't wait to return it. trying to find a good co-op games is hard.

[ocelotrevs]

I brought Resident Evil 4 the other day.
Yes, it is great.

Rather different from the previous games though.
It's also easier to use the analog stick for movement.

[hoffmandu]

Quick Q, is it THAT awesome? RE4 that is? Game Informer rated it a 10 (which never happens). I was thinking of adding it to the top of my list but I never really enjoyed the first few incarnations of the game. Tell me why you think it's good to give me a better idea.

[Nyssane]

Shadow Hearts; TO the New World; Not use dto fighting system an dplot i s meh, but I love the characters.

I've been meaning to buy this but I heard it doesn't have the characters from the first one or Covenant. :( I gots to get my Yuri fix! Oh, well, it's Shadow Hearts so I'm bound to pick it up eventually.

I bought Lost Magic the other day and my GOD it's hard. I didn't realize you could fight random battles until like 3 hours into it, haha. The story is so cliche, too. But oh well, it has cute art! :D

[ocelotrevs]

I got 'Shadow of the Colossus' the other day, but it's hard to start off with

[Cactusakic]

Bought Tomb Raider: Legends earlier today. Haven't played it yet though.

[Socrates1971]

Hey all. I play a TON of different games, though most of them are FPS's my most dominant game is: Guild Wars. I also play a lot of:
Call of Duty2, Joint Operations, Battlefield Vietnam, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, demo of Battlefield2.

I have quite a few installed, though not played in awhile... Far Cry, Doom3, Brothers in Arms, Star Wars Battlefront and Battlegrounds (along with a demo for Empire at War), Diablo, Madden06, NHL06, NBA Live06, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Navyfield, OG Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive, NASCAR Simracing, and Tiger Woods 05.

I play these all on my laptop, with a wireless network. Not the best, wired would be better, but mobility is key for me, so... I see that most here seem to play mostly RPGs and console games, any hardcore PC gamers, and FPS junkies, like myself???

[Martin Finlay]

It really is THAT awesome. I listened to the hype and bought the game, at first I thought it was pretty cool, but I didn't get into it. Then I started to play it again, and it seriously grew on me. It has a brilliant story, brilliant gameplay, brilliant everything. The bosses are excellent, it doesn't contain terrible puzzles that a Resident Evil game usually would, (though it still contains some, which are a nice change of pace). If you have the money, I would recommend it to you.

[Bloody]

Samurai Warriors State of War for PSP
007 Everything or Nothing for PS2

[Cactusakic]

Just bought:

Hulk (Movie Tie-In) (XBox)
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 (PS2)
Tony Hawks Underground 2 (PS2)

All for less than £9. Bargain.

[DrewTheXenocide]

Just beat God of War. Totally overrated, not worth the praise given. Good game, but not as great as people touted.

[Mike Pothier]

Bought Ultimate Spiderman. Pretty cool game, if too short. The webslinging is out of this world though. It really makes you feel like your spiderman!

I'll be looking for Hulk: Ultimate Destruction next.

[Naraku]

I'm playing FF VIII for the first time, and i think that is a good game. I don't understand why so many people hate it. The only problem in the game, to me, is the Junction system.

[Lightbend]

Wait until you get to the main plot. You'll understand then.




Well, right now I'm playing Atlier Iris 2: Azoth of Destiny. Not a very long game, but it's fun in it's simplicity and its humor. Not every game gives you a love-lorn womanizing pixie with a gun. And a sword that sounds like Odo from DS9.

[meethraa]

I'm playing Space Rangers 2. It's like a drug that one.
So good, but it keeps me from doing ANYTHING else all day long.

I've also started playing FF6 for the first time, following all the praise it's gotten here. I'm currently at the point when I just got into that guy's ship by pretending to be a famous opera singer and now we're about to raid the Empire or something. It's been fun, I guess, but the world map is extremely aggravating.

[Lazy_Fiend]

i recently "aquired" Godfather the game
great game
takes good grand theft auto gameplay, but fixes the shooting
and by fix
i mean it kicks ass
good game
worth the money

[Kill cujo]

I recently bought Tekken 5, figured it was a pretty cool game, I think Soul caliber 2 is better thought.
also bought Resident Evil 4, and FFX!!!

[Keollyn]

Ninja Gaiden Black and Genma Onimusha.

[Domo Goddess]

I just bought Sonic Mega Collection, but I did not get to play it since my PS 2 is not working at the moment. :mad:

[Chou Blaster]

Stubbs the Zombie.

As I am in the mood to eat someone's brains.. Or tear off their arm and beat them to death with said arm.

[Sanagi]

Rebelstar, a strategy wargame for the GBA. Somewhat like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem but vastly more complicated. You command a squad of soldiers in a scifi setting. You get to pick their weapons and decide what skills to enhance as they level up. It's frustrating at first due to complexity and non-userfriendliness, and it sometimes has that annoying "lose a character and the mission is over" rule as in Fire Emblem. But it's an interesting game and a very deep simulation of combat.

[Sanagi]

Mega Man Battle Network 6.

So far it feels like they've recaptured some of the fun of this series. The cyberworld is a lot nicer looking and I'm enjoying it a bit more than 4 and 5.

I'm playing FF VIII for the first time, and i think that is a good game. I don't understand why so many people hate it. The only problem in the game, to me, is the Junction system.

I agree it's good. the main plot especially is cool with some interesting scifi stuff. Much better than the "step backwards" gameplay of FF9, then again that's the kind of play the rpg crowd seems to want, look at the way they lapped up dragon quest 8.
The junction system's actually pretty complex if you really get into it, literally the most customizeable system ever.
