Game opinions- future and present.

[darkforaster]

1a) Ok, I love video games. pretty much all types. though I've never been a fan of driving and sport games, classics like zelda and mario are always welcome in my book.

 

 

 

please read the whole thing before posting. thanks

 

 

 

Disclaimer: there *may* be spoilers in this thread. If there is and i haven't covered it up. TELL me and I'll change it.

 

 

 

Note: this thread is for both microsoft, sony and nintendo fans. But i am a nintendo fan, so will obviously want ninetndo games.

1b) Now, my signature shows what games I'll most recommend in the future. But I'll tell you the ones which I know most about. mainly from Ngamermagasin.

 

 

 

~Mercury Meltdown~

 

 

 

specifically designed to drive you insane.

 

 

 

Yep, that's what they said. and by reading a couple of reviews I can agree with them. it sounds like a lot of hard work. The aim of the game is to guide the ball of mercury across a specific level, without letting it drop. this is harder than it sounds as according to ngamer, in one level there is 16 different balls of mercury you need to guide round 1 level- at the same time. So if you like challenging games. this is the game for you.

 

 

 

the first game that made us actually throw the wii remote hard at the wall in real anger.

 

 

 

~Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn~

 

 

 

A work of art buried under a ton of incomprehensibility -- like trying to look at the Mona Lisa with Timmy mallet rabidly bouncing in front of you.

 

 

 

Yes, the one I am really hoping to get, unfortunately, I am unaware of when it comes out. But it appears to be an improved version of Path of Radiance. So if you disliked Path of Radiance, don't play the game.

 

Like POR (path of radiance, not portugal) the goal of teh game is the same. Complete various levels by fulfilling a certain aim. This time, however, you are not playing against Daein, but infact playing as Daein. So at some point, you will have to fight players such as ike to complete the game.

 

 

 

Remove chat and you've cut off 50% of the game, and for what? So you can play a title before your friends that's all but guaranteed and english release? Don't spoil what feels like a solid, if unchanged,entry into the series.wait.

 

 

 

~Let's Go by Train~

 

 

 

Direct line to boredom-town. We're up for some train braining.

 

 

 

Well, for every flock of white sheep, there is the one black sheep. and here it is. Although i only read one review of it, it sounds like a total bore. So DO NOT BUY IT! UNLESS.... you want to drive a train around which always gets to the next station- No matter how much you try to crash it.

 

This game involves you being a train driver. and requires you to drive the train safely into the next stop. do it incorrectly, and you lose driver ranking.

 

And with this unentertaining packaging, you need to buy the game, the controler AND the wii in order to play it. The game costs ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã88, the remote for it costs ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã70 and the wii depends if you bought one on a bargain or by a rip-off.

 

 

 

Playing Densha it's clear why train crashes happen- driving is just so dull you'd do anything to jazz it up. But here you don't even get this option.

2) Ds games.

 

 

 

~Harvest Moon Ds~

 

 

 

You want to ignore the townsfolk? Fine. You want to leave your cat in an underground mine for days on end? Do it. There's just one question- why would you?

 

 

 

Yes, the main DS game that I've been waiting for. harvest moon ds is said to be a pal for life. So if your a new gamer, and want to start on a game that won't finish in a few days. This is for you.

 

The main thing i like about this game though, is simple. The fact that you CAN be evil. from spreading litter, to mistreating animals. Even managing to marry the Witch princess. You can be absolutely diabolical, and noone will stop you. Sure they may hate you but who cares?

 

Harvest moon is not a completable game, and in fact, gives you lots of surprises every time you go on it. Basically, you raise a farm, marry someone- from a goddess or mermaid, to a tom-boyish ladette, or make money by selling jewels you find in the mine. Watever suits you best.

 

 

 

No matter what terrible things you might find yourself doing out of sociopathic curiosity, we all know that you're going to stop being a boozehound, start planting cucumbers and settle down with the quiet seed merchant's daughter.

 

 

 

~Pokemon Ranger~

 

 

 

The pokemon RPG's, dificulty-wise, are pushovers. Nobody in the world hasn't finished one of the main pokemon games on the grounds of it being too hard. Ultimately, you'll end up with a team that'll wipe the floor with any opponent. Not so in ranger.

 

 

 

Ahh, pokemon. The easiest of all video games I've ever played. And although i dislike pokemon, there are many who like it. so i'll try to be as neutral as possible in this game opinion.

 

In ranger, the pokeballs, shops and training have vanished. The only way to truly master ranger is to master the pokemon's special abilities. and the way to do this is to make a spyrograph stick. In order to do this you need to draw nine circles around the pokemon. This is not as easy as it sounds, as if hit, you have to start again. And some pokemon gang up, making it even harder to draw the circles. All this makes pokemon ranger the most challenging pokemon game yet.

 

BUt a bit on the downside includes the audio. With similar pokemon cries as back in 1996.

 

 

 

So ranger may be doomed to lie in the shadows of Diamond and Pearl- but it deserves to hold it's head just as high.

 

 

 

~F-24 stealth fighter~

 

 

 

F-24? What happened to Fs 1 through 23? [garden tool] [garden tool].

 

 

 

Again, this is the black sheep of the flock.

 

A very strange and unentertaining game which is similar to the top gun NES game released 20 years ago. on the plus side however it has a good use of the touch screen, with various buttons you can press to activate certain reactions. (e.g fire), unfortunately, the rest is considered a joke due to lack of exciting gameplay and graphics.

 

 

 

And whoever's idea it was to put a big fat button that disarms all your weapons right next to the fire button itelf is no maverick, but an outright goose.

3) The Ending.

 

 

 

Well that's it. I'll be glad to know your views on these games and more. Of course, you won't need to lay it out like me.

 

 

 

All I really want is your opinion on the upcoming and the new games. to advise, and help otehrs choose what games they might like.

 

 

 

4) The List.

 

 

 

the games the tip.it community and me recommend the most. Full name please! I do not write FE:POR normally, only once i've said path of radiance a lot of times.And please say what console it is on.
