Promitheus Zek Atlaas Davin_Nightwind Wow...And I thought the days of fanboys were long since past...Psychotic, you need to calm the hell down. It's just a console, not a pacemaker or something like that that's vital to life. Besides, you're giving gamers everywhere a bad name when you tear into someone like that just for mentioning a new game. You need to realize, there's plenty of good games for other systems besides the SNES. I should know, I've been there since the NES, and have all of the Nintendo systems, plus a PS2 and 360. There's games I have on all of them that I enjoy, and yes, that includes the 360. Granted, I hate graphics gamers just as much, but at least I know when to keep my mouth shut, and when I do say something, it's civil. And this is coming from the guy that thought the best Final Fantasies were before VII, and not including VII, and has a certain weakness for IV. I like old games more, and I still think the entire final fantasy series was s**t aside from Tactics.
Garek: But the graphics for both suck. gonk
I like modern graphics, just not 3D ones.
People look so stiff in current games, and they just move so horribly. gonk
I like me some nice, crisp, colourful pixel graphics.
But I get your sarcasm. i to like the ff games all except tactics and im not into graphics lol like katamary damacy and i still play my old ff game son the snez there still fun lol You misunderstood me.
I said the only one I like is Tactics. |

I like plenty of old games and find myself playing games that are rather old quite often. Though I never really got into the final fantasies....
Also, you may love FMV games! The stiffness of the characters is far superior and more realistic than the stiffness of 3D rendered people. Here, this guy does hilarious commentary throughout this game.
http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/category/phantasmagoria/
Warning, Not Safe For Work, there are adult-ish scenes later on. (Nothing graphic, but obviously not hiding anything. It's the equivalent of a sex scene on TV if I remember right, but probably takes it far enough to be removed. You may see it on European TV though...) Strong language at times. Definitely some gore, but that's much later. |

I got bored for that, and that things didn't change enough between games... Plus, I always stopped playing not long after "getting my freedom to move where I want" point in the games.
And I would be surprised if either of you actually know anything about this. They were pretty much forgotten after they stopped making them. FMV games are games where they filmed scenes and then you basically guide the character around. Some had more or less interractivity.
Most of them fall under these categories:
Dragon's Lair - Press the button at the right moment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon's_Lair
Adventure Games in Lucas Arts style - Rub everything against everything.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Monkey_Island
Annnd...well, some are just "press button to continue" but those are rare...
One last rare category have actual puzzles in them, like 7th Guest
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7th_Guest
They were popular in the 90s because once CDs came out developers realized that they could put a loooot more into CD's than with floppys. It didn't take them long to realize that they could put not just movies into games, but even make entire games of movies! This died out eventually as people got tired of the lack of game play... Honestly, it's a lot like watching a movie. (Often how they were advertised as. You could finally be a part of the movie.)
If you want just a quick preview of what these sorts of games are without the warning, then here's a link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLAD68DB_g0&feature=related
Night Trap, a very infamous FMV game...
Now if you want something a lot more funny but a lot more strong language from commentary, thennn....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U78S0-NHTKU
You can start here on this.
If the commentary from the guy seems familiar though, I think he modeled it after Mystery Science Theatre 3000...I think that's the right title anyway... |

Atlaas You seem to assume everyone other then you has no knowledge of anything, and that you need to teach them.
Not everyone knows everything. I didn't know a thing about these sorts of games, yet I grew up at the right time to experience them. I even owned one of them, but I had LONG forgotten COMPLETELY about them. Much like pretty much everyone else. You pretty much have to introduce them from the ground up to for many people.
Atlaas You're not special, and not everyone was born yesterday, thank you very much.
OMG, I know about things like old games, some European history, and arts and architecture. Anyone who doesn't know anything about these things are clearly idiots and are worthless to me and everyone else! Especially if they don't know about the Byzantine Empire! If you don't know enough about it, then you're dead to me. DEAD.
Atlaas And EVERYONE knows about those!
Except for those who forgot, didn't grow up in the right place (like the US), didn't grow up in the right time period, didn't play games until recent, didn't ...
Atlaas Who hasn't heard of Dragon's Lair, really?
I had no idea what the name of that game was for a long time. In addition, it's a rather old game as far as I'm aware. So, not everyone knows about it (see above).
Atlaas This IS exactly what I thought it was.
Hurray, then you didn't need the large explanation that I gave in case you didn't know.
Atlaas I remember one with a car. Can't remember the exact name of it though.
Clearly you don't know your history as perfectly as I would demand. Again, DEAD TO ME. talk2hand |

Atlaas And yet somehow I still knew about them.
I think you said it best:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Atlaas 2: How is that relevant to what you quoted?
EVERYTHING IS RELAVENT TO ME. I will write paragraphs of pointless information on the most mundane and pointless things! And don't you forget it! scream
Atlaas 3: Dragon's Lair was Don ******** Bluth, how can anyone forget that.
Of course it's old, but it's DON BLUTH.
Everyone knows about Don Bluth!
Don Blue? Don Bluestone? Donnie and Marie? What are you talking about? I don't have time for these things!
Atlaas 4: Assuming I wouldn't in the first place is an enough of an insult.
Don't look at the invisible text then: I think you may not know a lot of things, just like me and everyone else. Shocker!
Atlaas 5: Obscure video games from 20 years ago. Because everyone knows them exactly. dramallama
You forgot the name of Dragon's Lair for christ sake.
You've got nothing on me. talk2hand
If it's not WoW, I don't know about it. Everyone knows about Warcraft anyway. No one cares about these other crappy games. blaugh
Atlaas 1: Dragon's Lair was heavily referenced in the first Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants movie.
I never saw that movie because it didn't have enough explosions or ABBA. Now Mamma Mia? That was a good movie.
Atlaas 2: AVGN had an episode specifically about these kinds of games.
AVG? My virus scanner don't know 'bout no dragons and lairs. |

Garek Maxwell EVERYTHING IS RELAVENT TO ME. I will write paragraphs of pointless information on the most mundane and pointless things! And don't you forget it! Yes. All those points that you could sum up in far, faaaaar less words.
Garek Maxwell Don Blue? Don Bluestone? Donnie and Marie? What are you talking about? I don't have time for these things! You best be joking.
Garek Maxwell I never saw that movie because it didn't have enough explosions or ABBA. Now Mamma Mia? That was a good movie. Of course it was, it had Meryl Streep in it. |

Atlaas You're really not joking? Don Bluth did the animation for it, and made many, many amazing animated films.
The Secret of Nimh, An American Tail, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Rock-A-Doodle, Anastasia? These ringing any bells? gonk
As one of the greatest furries in the world, I can tell you right now that I have never seen any of those films.
...
Actually, I may have seen Rock-my-doodle, but I don't remember much of anything from it so I was probably too young. The rest I saw probably maybe a few minutes of maybe, max .
Atlaas S.O.S is one of my favourite ABBA songs.
Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, and Waterloo for me. Though I haven't listened to all their songs. |
