Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So I got MP3 and SMG over the weekend...

siberdib on 19 November 2007

Well over her in the Uk I got Endless ocean for £15.99 and have ordered SMG for £28.99, Retail prices though are £19.99 for Endless ocean and £34.99 for SMG, so over here at least Endless ocean is priced as a budget title. Im playing alot on Endless Ocean but no doubt when my copy of SMG finally arrives that will stop with SMG being played the most by far. The advantage of Endless Ocean is its an easy relaxing play, good to come back to inbetween major scale Adventures, FPS and RPGS for a couple of days.

I didn't see an option of F) all of the above. So I'll add it. F)All of the above.

Just kidding, of course. I love to see people exercising diversity. I'm not an MP3 kind of guy but I'm loving SMG and I'm waiting on Endless Ocean as well. At the same time, I've been playing Halo 3, Bioshock, and Lego Star Wars Complete saga.

It's all good...

All the good stuff I have read about Endless Ocean makes me want to buy it now and it's a budget title, only €30!


Worst insult ever. SC Freiburg all the way.

4D gaming


4D gaming is the kind that plays itself, right?

I believe we've got that on PC a long time ago.

It's called Progress Quest. (dot com)

Let me first warn you of trying it out. It is very addicting.


 the 4th dimension is time. That is, time actually progresses during the game. For example, if there was a glass of water in the hot sun then as time progresses the water would evaporate, and if you played the game long enough you would see the erosion of the land etc. There is no game that is truly 4d; you get games which go from day to night, etc, but no game is really 4d.


There is, it's called Dwarf Fortress.

I remember them beating Bayern 5:1. Good times.

Those were the days. And even in their first year in the Bundesliga. Really sweet. Anyways, this year is looking good again.

as long as there is no transmission of temperature i dont care what the sun does to water. and would you check back in abou 1000000 years to see whether the mountain really has eroded by 2 meters? Kind of pointless. Time that works just fine can be seen in majoras mask or i heard animal crossing has cool xmas parties.

Well Faxanadu, in Dwarf Fortress, you a generated a world to play in. And before you start playing, you are shown a 1000 year history of the world they have generated (generating takes a LONG time lol, with quite a lot of failed attempts) which is pretty cool. And in play you can affect and mess with everything, it's really a monumental game. The obvious downside is that it's ASCII graphics =(

First off, i didnt know that there was a "true 4d game", i had never heard of Dwarf Fortress before now; but i still believe that games are too limited in scope to truly be 4th dimensional. Games are still, and probably always will be, limited by the scopes and views of its designers.

Second off, Faxandu, i never said that i wanted 4d games. I just gave an explanation of what the 4th dimension is, i never said i supported it in anyway.
