  1. ...I've been playing Medal of Honor 4: Modern Warfare and Conan for the XBOX 360.

    I assume you mean Call of Duty 4, not Medal of Honor. The latest console MoD game is Medal of Honor: Airborne, and is the 7th console game (11th in the series), so I'm just making this clear, k? :)

  2. <edit>

    Wise words, but the defining characteristic of philosophers is debate. They, of course, weren't pressuring anyone to change their beliefs, but they did debate. It takes a special skill, a skill almost no one possesses anymore, to debate without trying to convert.

    That isn't so true of myself - in fact, I could care less if you believed your arse was your mouth and your mouth just a hole to regurgitate food :P . But that's not the point. The fact of the matter is one needs to understand both sides of the debate in order to make a responsible, informed argument. I'll admit that I at times fail to follow this advice, but I try to place an understanding between myself and my opponent(s). If they are not being reasonable, I try to (somewhat) make them see how their arguments are not exactly "the truth".

     

    I admit I'm a Catholic (or at least try to set a good example for others to follow if they so choose), but I prefer to leave my beliefs out a debate (especially if those involved are non-believers). As Dark pointed out, people do tend to hold firmly to their beliefs and moral systems, and won't be easily moved if someone who doesn't exactly share is those beliefs tells them otherwise. And we wouldn't want to have a massive religious flame war happening here, as that would seek to create a community divided.

     

    There is a (very) big difference between "what is" and "what one chooses to see/believe/hear/etc".

  3. I know you Ninja, and you're nothing like Peregrine (thank Great Cthulhu). Duskrider certainly has enough indifference and arrogance to suggest this is the reincarnated Hellbird, but don't let that throw you - he doesn't quite have the logical deduction skills Peregrine has.
  4. I suppose since this thread is ancient but people are still posting on it, that its safe to post too?

     

    Scariest monster: Ash Ghouls (the shirtless ones with no eyes right, and carry a club?) I could just be sleeping and one comes around the corner when I go to find him. And no body seems to notice! That's what's most disturbing. Even people are scripted not to help you or attack things that are your enemy, it kind of seems that you are the only one who can see the ash ghouls, like something out of a horror movie.

    It's not quite as ancient as you might think (after about 30 days since the last post is considered dead), so you're Ok. Anyway, while I do agree that ash ghouls are quite scary (especially as you mentioned), I find that Ash Vampires (Dagoth Ur's next of kin) to be even scarier. I remember I was in a cave (the name of which I can think of ATM) east of Red Mountain, and as I was going through (clearing it out of all the no-gooders as usual), and I happened upon my first Ash Vampire, which immediately laid my character to waste with a barrage of high-powered spells and attacks. I didn't even have a chance to fight back... Anyway, back to what you said about ash ghouls coming in for you while you slept, I think that was supposed to be part of Dagoth Ur's dreams (hallucinations sound more like it).
  5. Serious Sam. You walk into a big room, and 100+ enemies run out at you. Strafe in a huge circle and shoot into the crowd until everyone's dead, get a health pack, rinse and repeat, move onto the next big room.
    Serious Sam was actually decent game I thought (albeit no plot whatsoever), if just for the absolute thrill of laying to waste hordes of baddies with the biggest gun I had (the Serious Bomb was my favourite tool for this :devil: ) Of course, that's just my psychopathic nature I guess :rolleyes:
  6. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 512 MiB GDDR3 PCIe GPU. I was thinking about upgrading to a Sapphire Radeon HD 3870, but I couldn't find one at the time - guess I'll have to tough it out... :( Anyway, I am actually pretty satisfied with it (at least it's better than the IGP that came with my computer, which BTW, believe it or not, had almost 2 gigs or memory available, but yet only 128 MiB were actually used for video-related processing (of course, all of that other memory was shared, so what the heck).

     

    BTW, why are using a 9550 anyway? :huh: You do know that it was actually released in '02, don't you?

  7. I would like to retract what I posted earlier - I was feeling rather awful (damn stupid flu), so yes, I see your reasoning now. I just wasn't thinking (as always :rolleyes: ), so forgive my insolence. SMB still stands as my favourite game, but I won't try to stuff it down anybody's throat (which I now realize I was blatantly doing). Rest assured, it won't happen again - Scout's Honour ;)
  8. here is another tasteless game LOL

    http://www.adultswim.com/games/fiveMinutes/

    The Adult Swim games are tasteless and retarded on purpose, that truck racing game and the nazi game were actually meant to be taken seriously )and even paid for). That's sad.

     

    I have something I'd like to add, not a specific game, but a whole genre. Military training 'games' that are released to the public with the intent of showing kids that being in a combat situation is just like playing a game. Looking at you America's Army. I actually led a big 'campaign' against this practice when I was active duty. There's no reset button in a real warzone.

    That's sad, wrong, and utterly stupid. The big difference between virtual reality and the real world is that, as you put it, there's no reset button (or pause button, or any other button). What I find even more disheartening is the fact that "normal" people (and by "normal", I mean someone who's life is based around games) are actually trying to blur the lines between fiction and fantasy. It's ludicrous.
  9. You think that game sucked? What about the game that was so terrible that no one even wants to acknowledge it's existence, the game so bad that it's not even listed on game sites? This horrible abomination is none other than Ethnic Cleansing.
    Holy F__K! I guess trolling isn't limited to online forums anymore o_O
  10. Hey, give Nintendo some slack - what else did you expect from the hardware during the '80s? If it wasn't for the first game, we wouldn't have had the rest of the series (imagine a world without ALttP, TTP, or even OoT :ohmy: )
    Well, I'm not much of an 80s guy, because I was born in 1991. I don't blame anyone who likes the game. If you like it, that's ok. I respect that. It's just my opinion obviously. Not trying to give Nintendo some crap for it, but it's quite difficult for me to beat, so that would be 2nd, for me. Plus, if this game didn't exist, we wouldn't know the Zelda games by now, and they wouldn't exist.
    Oh, sorry about the misunderstanding - I didn't mean anything by it :whistling:

     

    Oh good. It's not just me then.
    Apparently every review for the game was scathing - I don't blame 'em :rolleyes: I'm still baffled that the ESRB didn't stop this game from reaching the market :confused:
  11. I didn't do consoles really until Dreamcast came out. But my first was a Nintendo 64. Now I am very fluent in languages of console AND computer.
    I still have my N64, albeit the controllers are all buggered beyond repair :rolleyes: I've been loyal to Nintendo since their first home console (the NES :happy: , which I still happen to have as well), but I have to say the SNES is the best system by far. Still, I prefer my 360 these days.
  12. If any worst game is to be listed for me, it'd be the very first Zelda game for NES. Like you only get to slash your sword up in front horizontally, and you only have to move up and down, left and right, and enemies might even top you off guard. But since the released Zelda games like TP, WW, OOT, and MM, they were ok. A bit easier too. At least the 3D Zelda games are not all that bad, but the very first one sucked! That's my opinion about what I think about the very first one.

    It's pathetic. No point of playing the game. I also saw it's score. Very low. I pray to God that I never get this game, because it's utter crap, and I am definitely not getting that junk. I don't think so. This game Big Rigs : Over the Road Racing should be rated the 1# worst game in gaming history.

    It is actually.
  13. MGS:TTS for GCN was even better, and included things that weren't in the original PSX game. MGS4 looks to be hit in '08 (despite it being released only on PS3, and my disdain for the system altogether).
  14. You're still not seeing it - are you THAT utterly brainless? When I say nothing can top the success of SMB, I MEAN IT! >:( You want proof? Here’s your proof!

     

    ... kid, you need to comprehend what's being discussed before you make stupid comments like this one.

    This is not a discussion about who sold how many, and most definitely it does not mean that Super Mario Brothers is in any way better than any other game just because it has sold so many games. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has sold more copies than any other album/CD, do you like it the most?

     

    It also had a different market when it first came out: its toughest competition was Tetris. There was really nothing else. There weren't that many computers out there (and the ones out there were really expensive)and less computer games. If someone bought a gameboy, the first thing you reached for was SMB, because it pretty much was the only thing available. And even in the gameboy arena, SMB was trounced by The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in gaming experience.

    Don't insult me, and don't call me "kid" - I'm almost as old as you (I'll turn 23 this August). This thread isn't about music (especially MJ :ohmy: ), and it sure as hell isn't about the technological aspects of a game. And FYI, if SMB isn't so great, then why did it sell as much as it did then, hmm? Look at it this way - each and every game has it's own uniqueness that can make it great, but ultimately it's up the the people to decide which ones actually become great.

     

    BTW, you might want to retract what you said about the Game Boy and SMB, because if memory serves me correctly, the first game released on GB relating to Mario was Super Mario Land, NOT SMB as you said. SMB was released on GBC as Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
