Not sure if anyone has seen this, but here. http://www.gamesradar.com/f/cave-story-remake-announced-for-3ds/a-2011021016228990012
I'm a bit unsure after Cave Story Wii, but the graphics look pretty cool if you ask me.

I'm looking forward to Portal 2. Or rather I would be if my stupid 5 year old computer could run it! >

A bit ago I downloaded Alien swarm. I must say it's pretty good. It's pretty much like Left 4 Dead, only with aliens instead of zombies, it has a class system, and it's in third person.
Not to mention you get a free TF2 hat from playing it.

Every time I see that name I can't help but think of Blades of Exile.

Not sure who it's more awkward for, me or them.Hopefully at least one got upwards of 90% or else it's just awkward for you, and anger inducing for them. But if it's only a few that did so badly tell them to get off teh potz and teh boozes.

General Discussion / Re: Stargate Universe and Caprica cancelled
« on: January 06, 2011, 03:04:34 am »
Well I haven't seen Caprica, but I can safely say I'm not really gonna miss SGU. I didn't see all of it, bI saw maybe the first 12 episodes or so. By then I just got kind of fed up with the show. It had potential, I just don't think they went about it the right way. From where I sat, it seemed like it was just a bit unoriginal. The whole thing seemed like a big mesh of Battlestar Galactica, a bit of Star Trek Voyager, a bit of Lost, and just a little bit of Stargate. I've heard people complain about how it's not SG-1 or Atlantis (Both of which I am a huge fan of which could be partially why I didn't like this) but my complaint is it just seemed like it wasn't Stargate. I know it was trying to be different, and edgier and all of that, but I just think that it could have been done a lot better. To be honest I think they could have very easily made it into a completely different show.
I'm probably a bit too cynical about it, but just to sum it up, I didn't enjoy it and am honestly not very sad to see it go.
However, until I read this post and looked it up I had not heard about the shelving of the SGA movie. That I am very sad to see. I'm a big Atlantis fan and have been waiting for that one for a while. Dang.

General Discussion / Re: Whats YOUR Favourite Game?
« on: November 13, 2010, 05:21:57 am »
Hmm, favorite games. I've thought about this, but never really very seriously. I don't know how accurate a list this is, but it's pretty close I guess. I know it was favorite game, but it seemed like most people were doing lists anyway.
10: Freespace two: I had a hard time deciding for this one. I figured it would probably be either this, Mega Man 3, or Mega Man X4. I play the other two more, but as a whole I think I enjoy Freespace 2 more. It's not the most well known series, but it's well worth checking out. It's available at Good old games.com for pretty cheap.
9: Super smash bros Brawl: For this one, I really like both Brawl and Melee. I don't normaly consider the two to be some of my favorite games, but after thinking about it, and how much I play them they really are. That's part of the reason it's this low because, I enjoy it, but I think I find a bit more good classic gaming out of some of the higher ups. And Brawl over Melee, mostly due to which I play more. To be honest I don't have that much of a preference over the play style.
8: Pokemon Emerald: I've always been a huge pokemon fan. It was practically my childhood. Games, cards, shows, toys, and all that. I'm sure many can relate. This was a really hard choice, choosing between Gen two and 3. Crystal has always been one of my favorites. And so has Emerald. Perhaps not quite as nostalgic, but as a game, I think it is slightly better as a whole. I considered putting Heart Gold in here also, but then I realized that I definitely like Emerald better than Heart Gold. It just seems like the most well rounded to me. Crystal definitely comes second if it was about Pokemon though
7:LoZ Windwaker: The first Zelda I ever played was Oracle of seasons. since then I've played through a few, but actually I think the only ones I've actually completed are Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of ages, Links awakening, and Windwaker. I've started games on several of them, but those are the only ones I've completed. Seasons is easily the most Nostalgic, but I just really love Windwaker. I recently started replaying it, and had forgotten how much I love the game. I've gotten a bit over half way through Ocarina, (Water temple) and it just didn't seem nearly as polished. I know it was the first 3D Zelda, but to be perfectly honest, it seemed almost boring to me. just, Dungeon after dungeon after dungeon it seemed. And that's Zelda, it just seemed like there wasn't as much to it as Windwaker. I've started Majora's mask and that shows a lot of promise, I just need to continue with it.
6: Final fantasy tactics: It'd been a long time since I'd played this. A few days ago I started replaying this with an emulator. Since then I've spent hours on it every day. It's just the perfect turn based strategy game. This game is just hard not to like. I couldn't decide if it should go higher than this or not. This and #5 were a real toss up.
5: Team Fortress 2: I've actually only had this game since like June or so. Since then I've really grown to love it. If I were to make a list of favorite shooters, this would take #1 easily. Granted I haven't played very many, but this still takes #1 for that. I love the gameplay, I love the setting, I love the characters, I love the diversity, it just seems like the perfect shooter to me. And if you get bored of one kind of player just switch to the next class.
4: Chrono Trigger: Needs no explanation. The reason it's not higher than this, is because this is supposed to be the top ten of all time for me. That's a lot.
3: Mega Man Legends: It was hard choosing between this and the #2 game. they're both some of my favorites of all time. Really what it came down to was preference in gaming style. MML is third person shooter, while Cave Story is 2D sidescrolling shooter. The funny thing is, I've always thought, that Cave Story is kind of what MML would be like if it was in 2D. In this I really meant the whole Legends series. Mega Man Legends 1, 2 and The misadventures of Tron Bonne. The first game probably is the best, but I don't think that you can really take one without the others personally.
2: Cave Story: All I can say is, CheckitoutCheckitoutCheckitoutCheckitoutCheckitout! It'sfreeIt'sfreeIt'sfreeIt'sfreeIt'sfree! http://www.cavestory.org/
1: Chrono Cross: I think I've explained this before. I played Chrono Cross before I even knew there was a Chrono Trigger. I really loved the game. Really loved the game. It was just a lot of fun. Plus it wasn't like any RPG I'd played before with the Element system and all that. It kind of reminded me of Tales of Symphonia at the time with how you enter a battle. Before this most of the RPGs I'd played had more Pokemon or Final Fnatasy style random battles. It was just all around dazzling. I didn't understand half of it both for not having played CT and it being as complicated as well all know. But I still really enjoyed it. I think that's part of the reason I like it better. For a lot of people they played CT, loved it, and saw that CC was different, so that it didn't seem the same. Well for me it was the other way around. I still loved CT, but that's why it's lower on the list partially.
Note: Sorry if I missed some grammar or spelling errors. Really tired right now.
EDIT: Oh dang. I just realized a fatal flaw in this list. I forgot another one of my favorite series. Man I feel stupid now. Just insert Phoenix Wright Ace attorney (The whole series. I can't pick just one) in between TF2 and CT.
10: Freespace two: I had a hard time deciding for this one. I figured it would probably be either this, Mega Man 3, or Mega Man X4.

« on: October 21, 2010, 08:17:54 pm »I made a post about it back when it came out. It's on page 110 if you're interested. But in a nutshell, at least compared to the original, the soundtrack sucked, the translation was annoying with some of the things they changed, and most of the new modes they made are dumb which basically meant that the only reason to spend $12 on a game you already have for free is slightly upgraded graphics. There were also a bunch of other glitches and all around annoying additions that just made the game annoying.Did anyone here about Cave Story Wii? Nicalis finally got around to fixing it. The soundtrack is actually a decent alternative to the original, and they made the game actually work. Normally I'd give them a high five, but for taking 7 months to make your game worth playing, you get a nod of approval.
What was wrong with it in the first place? I bought it on day one and loved it.

If they're making a third Mega Man Legends game on it, than I think a Chrono cross port could be done fairly easily. At least graphics wise. I'd think the main issue would be financially. Just a port of CC might not be quite as much of a hit as CTDS.

If I remember correctly, I began reading the first one a bit before the third movie came out. While reading that one it took me forever because I pretty much knew what happened since I'd seen the movie so many times. After that though I pretty much zipped through them. I think the only one I actually had to wait for was the 7th one. Wait, wow I knew I was young, but I wasn't even ten when I began reading these. Wow, I knew it was a while, but I didn't think it was that long.

Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Re: Best Party?
« on: July 25, 2010, 03:45:41 am »
I didn't use it all that much on the first time through, but on new game plus at least one I use a lot is Crono Ayla and Robo. One of the main reasons is their triple tech. It's one of the few worth using, especially with one or more Gold stud.
