lilc64 on 03 April 2010

Well final fantasy 12 was the first one i had to stop playing cause i hated it so much, but i dont know if you would call it a sequel.My friends and i loved the hell out of halo and we all agreed we thought halo 2's campaign sucked but still loved the multiplayer.

Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike.

The creators should be ashamed to have let both that series and that company slide that far.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

Any MGS game after the first one
Any CoD game after the first one
Zelda 2
Mario 2

Pretty standard I would say.

Chrono Cross.

I started playing Parasite with the second one, well, I only played the second one so I really don't complain. I liked that game but I know it was very Resident Evil like. I wish the first one would be released in the PSN.

Alundra 2 was indeed crappy. The first Alundra was awesome. I'd play Alundra over Zelda any day.

I'll ride the bandwagon of hate and acknowledge Devil May Cry 2 as the worst sequel I have see.

You should give the first one a chance whenever you can, trust me, after playing it, the second one will seem like a below-average game.

Not only in terms of story, but because of the battle system itself. It masterfully balances ATB and free movement, meaning that you can dodge normally but still have to play it in a turn-based manner, albeit with tons of derivative strategy with the implemention of a different Parasite Energy system and a more complex weapon system. Plus, it had Eve, one of the best villains ever created (Original Eve still kicks her arse, but only those who have reached her know this xD).

I actually enjoyed Devil May Cry 2, but it was the worst of the bunch, that's true.


I almost bought it at eBay one day but it was too expensive. I have seen gameplay videos in YouTube and I liked what I saw. If the game is released in the PSN I am willing to buy it. :)

Is that Simmons in your avatar? XD

I bought PE day one xD I still remember it vividly, i've been saving up money for about 6 months, since I was 11 back then and I just had enough money for school food XD.

When I saw the first scans on a local gaming magazine on Venezuela, on 1997, I immediatly fell in love with the game. September 9, 1997 was one heck of a day for me :D

As it stands, Parasite Eve is my second favourite game of all time, just being outclassed by Lufia 2.

Yup, that's Simone, big Simone Simons and Epica fan here :D  


I reacall doing something similar with MGS1 and FFIX back in the day, even though I didn't have to save money for those like you did. XD

I recall watching some scenes of PE1 in the Playstation Magazine (wonder if it still exists), I think it was the walkthough for the game, and I always had that ich of a need to play that game.

Lufia 2 is awesome. :D

I knew it. That golden hair is just impossible to confuse with someone else's. XD



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Not many games I know has bad sequels, they have their good and bad points.
This problem will be probably found in browser-based games

FFXIII, for making me wait all those years for such a disappointing game.

Also I have to say SSBB. It is one of my favorite games from this gen, but it just doesn't compete with Melee.

FFIX was funny, since I bought it when I went with a school trip to England for a week. Ended up buying the game and the guide with it, and I stayed broke for the rest of the trip :P 

Lufia 2 is amazing, basically the epitome of gaming for me :)

Hahaha, I have better pics of her, from the last concert here in Portugal. I'm just too lazy to upload them, but I will have too eventually since I want to get a new Avy with her XD.

Prince of Persia:Warrior Within

To go from a genre toping game in PoP:TSoT , to this piece of garbage is mind boggling.......it is like they said "How are we going to fuck up this series?" well rock music where it shouldnt be helps.....and glitches everywhere.....and overly dramatic cut-scenes......and destroying the beautiful pacing they had with the first.....the J man could go on and on but seriously WTF was ubisoft thinking.

 

GOW2 would have been a close second in destroying a franchise the J man loved but the J man cherished PoP more than GOW so its dissappointment comes first.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
