2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: cause nobody likes the controls of the game and suck at making good mechs

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: glad you agree tokio... rpgers will rule the gaming world. *nods* no bout a doubt it

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: NO!
GAAH!!!! FPS FPS FPS FPS!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: bull, FPS are too easy. I'd snipe you so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. Rpgers have all the skill in the gaming world

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: no Id snipe you in the balls because im a god and you guys are gamer wannabes but you just suck at games but say your good cause you want to fit in with the cool kids lol

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: ya right, i've been playing games since before you even knew what they were.

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: haha youd snipe me in the balls cuz you wanna pick them up afterwards and lick them! rpg's are boring and turnbased..blewck!

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: ah ah ah... not nowadays... and plus if you can't be patient and learn to outplan your enemy, you'd never last 5 seconds in a battle.

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: because id get bored and walk away...

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: that's when you'd get killed =P

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: no cuz the game would be off

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: tsk tsk tsk... Armored Core domanated FPS and RPGs combined together.

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: no!....! it duzznt! i would rather play a dynasty warriors game!

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: haha... ya right. armored core... *chuckles* dynasty warriors is ok, but too easy if you ask me... *nods* where is your guys sense of adventure?

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: i lost all to San andreas lol

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: oh come on... Kingdom Hearts, Drakengard, Final Fantasy! you guys have no lives o.O

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: hey
Final Fantasy 7, i gotta give that game credit where its due! that game is the only rpg i play! i loveed it soo much...KH 2..the 3 or so hours of pointless Roxas was what made me give it up and i have never played drakenguard yet

2006-08-15 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: FF7 was the second easiest FF i've even played -_- KH 2 was actually really good after the roxas part, except the atlantis part.. man i hated that...

and both Drakengard games rock (the endings suck on the first one though -_-)

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Actually...both Drakengard's are fairly weak in the story department. And Armored Core, while a fun game is nowhere near a leader when it comes to RPG's. It's just not. I mean...it's a fun mech game, but it's not as good as Steel Batallion.

2006-08-15 [Arinique]: I know what you mean about the whole KH2 atlantis. I thought I was going to kill myself. I think they were trying to put DDR into it or something, >.< 

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: First of all, it had nothing to do with DDR. Just another rhythem game. And Disney forced them to have Atlantis so that they could make sure they got some little mermaid advertising in there. Personally, I think that Kingdom Hearts could have been a much better series without Disney butting in and diluting the story so much.

2006-08-15 [Arinique]: Disney adds a great -something- to the story. I mean yeah, there is a great plot to it without all the Disney...But without the disney it would be just like FF or something like that. But this is coming from a die hard Disney fan. So don't pay attention to my ramblings. And that was almost exactly like DDR. If you were on a mat it would have been.

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: No it would not have been. It had aroudn three different things to do at the most and they were only MILDLY in rhythem with the songs. It was a rhythem game. That doesn't make it like DDR. I'm so tired of people saying that things are just like DDR just because they're rhythem games. Anyway, Disnery didn't really add anything to the second game's core story. THe only thing that Disney did was add places that you could go and complete little mini storylines that had NOTHING to do with the core plot, and were really just a way that they used to try to revive old Disney movies. Maybe Disney could be a little successful if they'd go back to thinking up some original concepts. I'm sorry, but I can't attribute any of the games success to Disney. They had nothing to do with the games except liscensing character rights and bullying Square into sacrificing plot for cameos.

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: and you wouldnt of had goofy and he rocks XD

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: But I would have had a different, more original character. And that would have made me a very happy person.

2006-08-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: well good for you!

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Wow, no need to be so sarcastic.

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: I didnt like KH2 as much as the first one, it seemed way to easy and I almost beleive Sora and Rikku were in to each other (no offense) but the story was kinda lame in that one.

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Yes. You're right there. THe second one was much too straightforward for me. All of the exploration elements that made the first one so great were completely omitted. However, the second one was still a great deal of fun for me, as far as game mechanics and play go.

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: I hated fighting on that flying ship thing when you fight that stupid giant nobody thing. That was one of the dullest fights in the game and the stupid summons were worse in this one than they were in the first.

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Yeah, like I said, the summons in this one were just stupid add-ons that disney insisted on. Plus the fact that you couldn't set the camera to the unused shoulder buttons, and use the right analog stick for the combat menu really got on my nerves. You could only do one or the other.

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: RE4 was an awesome game(it pwned KH all the way)!

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: I wouldn't even compare them. They were two diferent types of game.

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: I know but RE4 was a way funner game than KH an the fact the ratings on RE4 were far higher too.

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Okay? So whatever game is funnier is better? I think that's a HUGE matter of opinion.

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: since when was RE4 (Resident Evil 4) funnier? I though it was better because of its great graphics, awesome gameplay, and a excellent story.

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Oh, I misread you. And for the record, the story was NOT that great. I mean...you never find out a lot of the under-plot to the main story. It was good for a shooter, but not great. The graphics were definitely good. Again, not top-tier, but close. And it was pretty damned fun, especially once you get the Chicago Typewriter. But again, Both games do their respective jobs well, and can't really be compared to eachother. If I'm in the mood for a zombie hunt, I'll take RE4, a nice, semi-serious adventure-RPG, I'll take KH2.

2006-08-15 [Iron-Man-429]: Ok, heres a new topic. What game do you look forward to in the new next gen systems. Mine would be Armored Core 4 mainly because I love the series and It is one of IGN's most anticipated games for the PS3.

2006-08-15 [Faulty Limerence]: Metal Gear Solid 4.

2006-08-16 [Iron-Man-429]: mine was Killzone 2 at first but then it was removed from the PS3's launch setup as well as DMC4, but AC4 was added for Japans Release game

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: Killzone...that was the military-esque game where you could shoot from behind cover, wasn't it?

2006-08-16 [Iron-Man-429]: no that was the game that self titled itself as a Halo 2 killer and failed miserably to the title.(You couldn't even jump in the game, how retarded is that?)

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: Are you referring to the game that I was referring to or Killzone?

2006-08-16 [Iron-Man-429]: to killzone, I think your talking about Gears of War for the 360?

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: No. It's a semi-old Playstation 2 game that came out in the past couple of years.

2006-08-16 [Iron-Man-429]: oh then I dont know which one that is, but the topic was upcoming next gen games just so you know.

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. I can't wait to play as Pit.

2006-08-16 [Iron-Man-429]: no Snake!!! or maybe Wario

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: Wario was a HORRIBLE choice. Snake will be cool, but everyone will be playing as him, and he doesn't get to use guns, so meh.

2006-08-16 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: Final Fantasy 12 ^-^ ya, I'm an addict, ya I'll never get over it. It happens, get over it o.O. At any rate, I really don't like the new wario aspect in ssb, and i can't say i'll enjoy snake too much either. it just doesn't seem right to add snake into it.

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: One. Final Fantasy XII isn't a next-gen game. It's for the Playstation 2. XIII, on the other hand, looks bloody amazing.

2006-08-16 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: oh blah blah... it's close enough =P and ya, i'm looking forward to all FF games. and if possible I'm going to help make one one of these days >.> <.<... already have most of it planned out and such... we really only need permission and and a little bit of money before we can make it reality.

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: A "little bit" of money?

2006-08-16 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: well i really haven't researched it all that much as to how much they put into these games nowadays... but we've already got artists who'll work for free. storywriters who'll do the same. we got character design covered, and most of the voice acting. in fact we can pretty much hire all our staff for free. we just need equipment... *shrugs* then it'll be all done within a couple months if noone quits on us...

2006-08-16 [Faulty Limerence]: If you're looking to make a Final Fantasy, you're going to be turning all your rights over to Square, who will then hire all of those all over again. It will not be a venture of friends.

2006-08-16 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: eh they're all losers anyways -_- *puts on boxing gloves* i'll just have to negotiate so we can meet somewhere in the middle. as in a place where we still get what we want since we're the gamers and aren't in it for the profit.

2006-08-17 [Iron-Man-429]: New release of images for Armored Core 4 on IGN!
AC Goodies:
<img100*0:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/_Ti__/ac410.gif><img100*0:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/_Ti__/ac47.gif><img100*0:http://www.armoredcore.net/top/gallery/images/02.jpg><img100*0:http://www.armoredcore.net/top/gallery/images/03.jpg><img100*0:http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/726/726163/armored-core-4-shots-20060817032924722.jpg>

2006-08-18 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: and are they actual gameplay images? I highly coubt it knowing the other AC games i've seen and/or played. The fmv's always kick actual gamplay's arse...

2006-08-18 [Iron-Man-429]: yea its actuall in game graphics. theres a vid where you get some glimpses of some in game play. And yea I would agree the graphics in AC havnt been great but they do have some awesome FMVs

2006-08-18 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: but still, can your mechs actually move and kick butt like those one's do?

2006-08-18 [Iron-Man-429]: with the ps3s and the 360s power it could become possible. Far as I can figure it seems the boosting will be improved meaning more airtime.

2006-08-18 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: maybe. but it's doubtable...

2006-08-18 [Iron-Man-429]: heres AC4s E3 2006 vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgaNPa0lZ94

2006-08-18 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: *shakes heaD* i'm not going to watch any more E3 if possible -_- i was going to watch all of it... but my parents had other ideas... *sighs* so it's a moral issue with me now

2006-08-19 [Iron-Man-429]: ???

2006-08-19 [Kenshimaru]: hehehe

2006-08-19 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: oh quiet yeff o.O

2006-08-20 [Kenshimaru]: i would rather not Tyr, but, if you insist -becomes chibi and shoves his arm down his throat and starts walking around in circles-

2006-08-21 [Iron-Man-429]: Holy Crap! New AC4 vid and god it is beautiful! Ill post link to it later.

2006-08-21 [Firenze]: I think you'd get on well with my bf, he is hooked on AC and I just think it is plain boring, much prefer Final Fantasy or Soulcalibur.

2006-08-21 [Ultiem]: kelly im apart of his wiki already...lol infact you can view 3 of my ACs on his wiki...i want dirge of cerberus and my SC3 back

2006-08-21 [Firenze]: I did not know that you were...I want dirge of cerberus but it doesn't come out till 24 November 2006 here in the UK and I like playing SC3 :P

2006-08-21 [Faulty Limerence]: Dirge of Cerberus is okay. It was HORRIBLE in the Japanese release. It was NOT a good game. They changed it around a bit for the US release, and it is an entertaining game, but only if you're a fan. I don't recomend it to anyone who's not a fan of Vincent.

2006-08-21 [Firenze]: Yeah well don't say too much about it, am waiting for it to be released here in the UK :P

2006-08-21 [Faulty Limerence]: Oh don't worrry. I don't spoil. However, if there is anything about it (story related or not) that you'd want to know, feel free to message me.

2006-08-21 [Firenze]: I will keep that in mind, when I get it ^_-

2006-08-21 [Faulty Limerence]: Hahah, alright. So, anyone looking forward to the Burning Crusades expansion?

2006-08-23 [Iron-Man-429]: never played the game, I can't wait till the Age of Empires III expansion though. Here is the link to the new AC4 trailer: http://www.armoredcore.net/ac4/download/movie/AC4_Web.wvx

2006-08-27 [Iron-Man-429]: Just an Idea I had. We could hold an annual contest for a VG contest. We nominate a game in genre and the mods pic the best 6 for each genre no matter the system(must be a current system and the game must have come out that year). We could also include an VG art contest with it. VG history could be presented and we could vote on best VG corporation and more.

2006-08-27 [Faulty Limerence]: Those never turn out well. I suggest we don't.

2006-08-28 [Iron-Man-429]: If it is done correct it will.

2006-08-28 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: yea i agree with iron maaaan

2006-08-28 [Firenze]: It could work but you'd have to plan it very carefully so that it will be popular otherwise it will just go down the toilet and I should know...

2006-08-28 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: yea that too

2006-08-28 [Iron-Man-429]: well perhaps we could open it to all of elftown and possible get the polls posted on ET main street.

2006-08-28 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: mhm good idea!

2006-08-28 [Faulty Limerence]: Okay the deal with these things is, it CAN be done right, but it never is.

2006-08-28 [Firenze]: Yeah but when you have an official contest maker (aka moi) from EP with good connections, things rarely [Faulty Limerence] go wrong, you are so pessimistic, cheer up and be a bit more enthusiastic.

[Iron-Man-429] will you let me look over the contest before you do anything as I can literally perfect it for you if needed.

2006-08-28 [Faulty Limerence]: Okay, it's not pessimism, it's reality. I have NEVER seen it done right, in my seventeen years of web surfing and forum administration (four years of that last one). It's not about who starts it, or who admins it. It's about who participates in it.

2006-08-28 [Firenze]: It is not just who participates in it either, you, yourself have to be enthusiastic about the project before hand and continue the enthusiasm throughout the contest. I build contests as one of my jobs on Elfpack, I bust my butt off creating new contest and running the damned thing but I show enthusiasm all the time...

You get the correct people working on it and you will get participants.

2006-08-28 [Faulty Limerence]: It's not about getting participants. That's not the problem. You will ALWAYS have participants for a contgest like this. The problem is the quality of said participants. Most of them will just be idiot fanboys/girls who will vote only for their "favorite" game as opposed to voting for the "better" game. It turns into a contest that has nothing to do with the quality or properties of a game, but simply what game has the most popular cameos and such. Happens on gamefaqs every year.

2006-08-28 [Firenze]: I agree that always will happen, seen it happen on Elfpack recently on a photography contest and the person who won by poll bitched off because the head judge decided to choose 3 other winners and her entry was good quality but she won because she is a popular person and has a huge fan club who would vote for her whilst the others that the judge choose I have to admit were really crap...

2006-08-28 [The Coffee-Prophet]: Indeed it does. quetion is, how do we prevent it?

2006-08-28 [Iron-Man-429]: ok [Firenze]. We need to decide on a date for this contest and create a list of games for it.

2006-08-28 [Firenze]: First off create the contest then decide a date, works much better then.

2006-08-28 [Iron-Man-429]: ok Ill get on it tonight.

2006-08-29 [Firenze]: Good Good ^_^

2006-08-30 [Amras Calafalas]: I agree with what [Faulty Limerence] said about gamefaqs because i post on that websites a many of times and i notice peole dont read the text as well as they should and understand the concept and the idea of what the whole idea of the poll is meaning ...by the way hey everyone sorry i havnt said much

2006-08-30 [Amras Calafalas]: also about the consest and preventing misunderstandings we should be clear on what the concept and idea of what we are looking for

2006-08-30 [Iron-Man-429]: does anyone have a name for the contest

2006-08-30 [Faulty Limerence]: *sigh* It doesn't matter how clear you are. People are still only going to vote for their favorite games. Me, I love Dynasty Warriors. But I will concede that there are MANY games out there that are better. Most people won't.

2006-08-30 [Iron-Man-429]: thats why you nominate a game in a certain genre. The mods of the contest will research on it checking out the reviews and the gameplay and see if it makes it to the top six in the genre. Then there will be a poll for the genre to see which is best out of that group and the winner then will compete against all the other winners and that game will be titled game of the year.

2006-08-30 [Faulty Limerence]: How does that solve the problem? You still get favoritism and bias.

2006-08-31 [Iron-Man-429]: ussually favoritism means that the game is probaly the best out of all the games considering the game probaly has a great game review. for example halo, great story and gameplay.

2006-08-31 [Faulty Limerence]: Ugh...see this is where the problem comes. Halo did NOT have a great story. It was FULL of plot holes and the gameplay was average. Goldeneye STILL beats Halo gameplay. It just happened to be the only shooter for that Gen of consoles available at the time.

2006-09-01 [Iron-Man-429]: You see thats just your opinion on Goldeneye being better, but mojority is probaly the best way to go about things.

2006-09-07 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: o.O... ummm...

2006-09-07 [Kenshimaru]: my thoughts exactly

2006-09-08 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: so wait... goldeneye and halo... i can't i truly 'loved' either one... but in my personal opinion, goldeneye beats halo anyday....

2006-09-08 [Faulty Limerence]: Halo was not the best. Good, not anywhere near the best. It's just all you had for the X-Box at the time. Of course, no shooters beat PC shooters.

2006-09-08 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: well in a way i agree with you. but at the same time Halo is STILL popular today on a large scale for next to no good reason as far as i'm concerned. 

I personally still think that Perfect Dark 64 was the best shooter ever for multiplayer purposes. The Farsight XR-90 was such a nice sniping weapon...

2006-09-08 [Faulty Limerence]: I never really liked Perfect Dark, and I find increasingly that I may be the ONLY person who doesn't.

2006-09-08 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: o.O... huh... well i just liked it. *shrugs*

2006-09-08 [Kenshimaru]: tyr's biast(sp?) against the X-Box

2006-09-08 [Faulty Limerence]: I've never liked the X-Box. All it's shown is that it's mostly just for frat boys that want to scream and yell at each other. I mean...just look at the lineup.

2006-09-08 [Kenshimaru]: -shrugs-

2006-09-08 [darkness angel]: i have and x box and i love it

2006-09-08 [Faulty Limerence]: But hey, we've all got our opinions. And we're all entitled to those.

2006-09-08 [darkness angel]: what console game you like?

2006-09-08 [Kenshimaru]: i like all of them equally^_^

2006-09-08 [darkness angel]: i like them equally .i love all my video game console from my x box,playstation,playstation 2,nintendo ds

2006-09-08 [Faulty Limerence]: I prefer Playstation for more serious games, and my Gamecube keeps me entertained with Tales of Symphonia and Smash Brothers.

2006-09-08 [The Coffee-Prophet]: Tales and SSMB are probably the cubes greatest moments, much of the rest is so-so. Wind waker wasn't so bad either, but after two or three playthroughs it isn't much left to do.

2006-09-09 [Sean..biedwell]: the xbox is my preferred console it has its fair share in good games

2006-09-09 [Iron-Man-429]: I think each console have their ups and downs. Xbox's good point is their wonderful online, but their downside is the lack of games. The PS2's good point is its great list of games, but its downside is that there is a lack of any really great mustiplayer games and its online. The gamecube's good point is it had some great games and superb graphics, but for some reason Nintendo made it look too much like a toy so few hard core gamers ever got into it with the gamecube.

2006-09-10 [Faulty Limerence]: I find the downfall of Nintendo to be in their lack of originality, and the originality that they do exhibit rarely has any real staying power.

2006-09-10 [Sean..biedwell]: sum of the only games i enjoyed on the gamecube were the mario partys and a couple of the sonic games and mario kart

2006-09-10 [Faulty Limerence]: I didn't like any of the sonic games on the gamecube, but Double Dash is still a lot of fun. One of Nintendo's big mistakes was alienating a lot of third party developers.

2006-09-11 [SephirothFFVII]: Like [Faulty Limerence], I'm playstation for the more serious of games. Devil May Cry 3 is my favorite game of all the ones I have.

2006-09-12 [Faulty Limerence]: I think Shadow of the Colossus is my favorite Playstation 2 game.

2006-09-12 [Iron-Man-429]: obviously mine is armored core

2006-09-12 [Faulty Limerence]: Quite obviously. Shut up about it! =p

2006-09-12 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: o.O... jeez... this is such hardcore gaming discussion. I'm almost overwhelmed. Not that i don't enjoy it but i just don't get to experience alot of it.

anywho, as far as consoles go, i'm a Playstation fan for 2 reasons.

1: great line of RPGs (FF especially)
2: I own four of them >.> <.<...

Smash Bro's was one of the few good games i've seen for the cube and the box was mostly just a shooter system as far as i'm concerned. Nothing against shooters, but I can only take so many before i'm driven insane.

Obviously favorite game for PS2: Kingdom Hearts 2.

2006-09-12 [Faulty Limerence]: I liked the first KH better than teh second one as far as story goes. But we've already had this discussion.

2006-09-12 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: really? I wonder if I was gone... or if it's just my terrible memory again ^-^ heh. Anywho...

2006-09-13 [SephirothFFVII]: Kingdom Hearts 2 was awesome. Too bad Axel died..he was a cool character.

2006-09-13 [Iron-Man-429]: I liked the first one better. Sora and Rikku seemed like they were way too in to each other.

2006-09-14 [Stephen]: That's a good point. Another reason I like that game. =op

2006-09-14 [Iron-Man-429]: ewww

2006-09-15 [tyler likes to eat zebra cakes]: creepy, but thats what ive been saying all along! Sora is gay for Rikku, but rikku isnt gay because hes too cool for that, thats just my opinion

2006-09-15 [Iron-Man-429]: different subject, but has anyone else played Conker Live and Reloaded?

2006-09-15 [Faulty Limerence]: No you see, really, Rikku is sending out way more Yaoi vibes than Sora. Sora is in it for Kairi.

2006-09-15 [Sean..biedwell]: i gotta say i just love xbox too much even to i have a playstation as well

2006-09-15 [Iron-Man-429]: Yeah Xbox was actually pretty good except for the lack of games. My current favorite Xbox game is Conker Live and Reloaded.

2006-09-16 [Sean..biedwell]: i have no idea why but i got attched to the game :metal arms glitch in the system

2006-09-16 [Sean..biedwell]: true but the games the xbox do have they are all good games

2006-09-17 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: o.O... ya, stopping the sora/rikku convo now. *shudderS* yaoi... *shudders again*

but at any rate. Conker is such a fun game... I love being a ninja >.> <.<...

2006-09-17 [Iron-Man-429]: haha yeah the Sneeker. is awesome. I like the grunt on the Tediz

2006-09-17 [Tyr and Zao Hawk]: i never played for the Tedz...
