Newbie Here!
« on: June 13, 2011, 10:52:18 am »
Hello. I'm new to these forums, though I've used Chrono Compendium for a very long time. My favorite game, not in just the series but in the world, is Chrono Cross.

Anyway. Just thought I'd sign up for a forum, as I am working my way through Chrono Cross again.  :D

I plan on it. I don't know any Chrono series fans. All of my friends are Call Of Duty hipsters.

I tried, I tried to convince them! But nooooo! The game "takes too long!"

That, my friend, is FPS syndrome. These people also tend to suffer from a serious illness called...

Chrono games take to long? I mean I love them, but they aren't that long...

I never had any trouble...
Well except for the True/Good ending in Cross; I admit I almost had to use a guide to figure out how to get it; I couldn't remember the element order; then it was getting the thing without it getting broken, I then came up with a fool proof way to always get it easy. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it involved Leena...

It's kind of mean to call them hipsters/close-minded/or ill just because they like FPS and don't like Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross; although I'm not very good at FPS and don't really like them well I do love the Chrono games, people have different tastes and there is nothing wrong with that.
Although I really don't get the complaint that the game is long...

...

Oh I almost forgot; welcome!  :D

Thanks for the welcome!

Compared of Call Of Duty games, Chrono Cross is very long, as it takes more than 6 hours to beat. (Though for an RPG it's not the longest game out there.)

These people are hipsters because all they play are mainstream "hip" games...
These people are close minded because they refuse to try something new / old...

I play FPS's as well- Only difference is that I don't only play FPS games.

Well I was mostly being silly anyway, but I can understand why you'd take me seriously; a lot of people can act very stingy (and downright crazy) over silly things; video games included.

I do get what your saying; they will only play what is seen as cool; and well there is nothing wrong with playing popular games, using it as an excuse to shun other games you've never even given a chance to is quite close minded...

Although I don't think "hipster" is the right word for that - close but there is a better word...
It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember which word it was...

I don't think you really know what a hipster is.  The people you're talking about aren't hipsters.  Hipsters (Wiki link) are people who like anything that isn't "mainstream" and often consider bands that are popular to be "selling out".

I also don't know of any hipsters that played video games (my college was FULL of hipsters), but maybe there are a few.

Regardless...welcome tot he party Obsiviction!

Was that typo made on purpose? Both times?

It's an inside joke.  =)  I think once upon a time the founder of the site made a typo, and it caught on and became an in-joke among the members.
