So P.N.03... damn that games you people introduce me to! Looks like another "Why the hell haven't I heard of this game?! Its looks amazing!" Gamecube game. Will pick it up ASAP.

The control scheme seriously flawed. But the end experience not a disaster -- merely a disappointment.

Would you agree with that statment?

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

I honestly haven't notice a single problem with the controls. They're not anything special, but they get the job done smoothly.

people complain about the can't-shoot-while-moving thing. But that's sort of part of the challenge.

[atsonicpark]

Man, I found PN03 so boring. If they had spent more time on it, it might've been okay. As it is, it's a bit like its name -- unwieldy, clunky, and boring. It's not the worst game ever, but it's just easy to ignore, since there were SO MANY great games released that generation. It's one of those games where, in the first 5 minutes, you're like "wow, this could be cool!" and then after 5 more minutes, you're like "oh. so, this is it. Hm." I mean, if you don't like games with any depth or challenge at all, perhaps it's good for one level. But, the same corridors, the same enemies, just clunky and dull. There's just nothing to it -- if I had spent $60 on that thing, I would've been PISSED. Anyway, Capcom really made tons of great games at the time -- Killer7, Devil Kings, the MASTERPIECE Okami, the underrated God Hand, Chaos Legion, Viewtfiul Joe, tons of great new properties (and horseshit like the-so-easy-a-3-year-old-could-beat-it Devil May Cry 2, which was sponsored by a JEANS COMPANY for fuck's sake but anyway). But that one just wasn't very good -- the creator didn't even like it. Actually, never known anyone who particularly liked it, until the last page of this thread. It's probably worth $2.99 I guess. There's a game store by house with literally 10 copies of it, which is odd since I think the game only sold like 10,000 copies, period. There's almost as many copies of it as there are Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. Anyway, it had no substance or depth (which is the reason I play games), and not much to do, it had good animations and a cool main character, that's about it. Have fun!

As for the Capcom-Gamecube thing, Capcom was smart to back out of that, and port all the good games to other systems. Nintendo systems never make anyone any money -- except for Nintendo. That's why there's never any third party support. Oh, sure, Nintendo is the best game company ever, but when even the super-loyal TREASURE is saying, "Yep, Sin and Punishment 2 [the best game on the Wii] isn't a success -- big shock -- so we're shifting ALL SUPPORT to the 360 now" (which is dead in Japan, the only place Treasure's games do well), you know they've officially pissed off game companies for good. Gamecube had no 3rd party exclusives worth playing, aside from stuff that was already available (Ikaruga) or would become available elsewhere later. Resident Evil 4 was a huge game -- that didn't do too well on the Gamecube, and sold a SHITLOAD on the PS2. A game company would be nuts to exclusively align themselves with a Nintendo system, especially in this day and age where the average game costs MILLIONS to make.

I am back from barcelona. finished the missions in bangai o spirits for about 95% when slacking off. run through the geek triangle in barcelona which is overblown with japanese (and american) merchandise to almost anthing game related, and I saw the release of Last Window for the DS, which gets me pretty much excited. I am going to buy it in the next days, but probably I am waiting to play it when the weather starts to suck because of atmosphere enhancement

I also read Spook country by william gibson which coloured the whole barcelona experience nicely cyberpunkish , hrhrhr

@noiseredux: did you bought bangai o spirits yet????

nooo I went to like 5 Gamestops over the weekend looking for it. One had it new, but I couldnt buy it new knowing that a used copy was half the price!! I will find it... eventually.

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

I actually appreciate PN03's minimalism.

word.

[atsonicpark]

Yeah, $2.99 minimalism rules. If I'd paid $60 for that game, though? Either way, it's a very, very average game, it just seems like such a weird game to play when you could be playing Okami, which has about 1000 mindblowing moments in it -- yet no one cared about it. You can probably get it for $10 now. It's better than any of the recent Zelda games (in fact, it stars a wolf just like Twilight Princess -- hmm), you get to attack people and solve puzzles by PAINTING. And, hey, some of the team mad PN03... definitely one of the best games of all time. And, you know what? IT MADE ME CRY. It's probably the only game ever that made me cry. Badass boss bottles, supersmart puzzles, fun as hell battles, an interesting story, it's just the most effortlessly fun 40 hours ever. I mean, I was so addicted. I let my friend Booe borrow it and I never told him I cried -- and he told me it made him cry too. He told me he beat it in 3 days, playing it 14 hours a day.

 

 

 

 

Painting bombs on walls to blow them up?! I mean, seriously... one of the best fucking games ever. 10/10.

[atsonicpark]

Anyway, been playing

 

Almost beat it on the emulator! Masterpiece.
Just got these, as well:

 

 

 

The Sega CD was an excellent system. Actually, Sega never made a bad system, except the 32X. The Dreamcast is honestly my favorite console of all time.

[atsonicpark]

...Also, Joe, if you like games with no depth that are actually really fun, you HAVE TO get God Hand. It's made by some of the PN03, Killer7, and Okami people. If you can't find it, I'll mail you a copy! Haha. I mean, it's easy as hell to find, again, you can probably find it for $3-5. Imagine Streets of Rage, but oh, COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE. You're constantly running, spanking people, taking baseball bats to assholes, breaking everything, including ninjas. There's nothing to it, but it's insanely fun for the 90 minutes it lasts (which is longer than PN03, which a FETUS could beat). Nuts as hell, and FUNNY. I actually like and look forward to the cinemas. And it's not too easy unlike most modern games (that reminds me, I'm good at video games, but I'm not like some super-hardcore-can't-die gamer; sure, I've beaten every Mega Man game -- not all the X's though, they can be tough -- without much of a problem, I can beat every Contra game without losing a life now... but man, Devil May Cry 3 was easy. When it came out, it got called out SO MUCH for being "impossible". What? You had to play the first level a few times to level up -- it was designed that way, obviously. Other than that, um, it's even easier than the first game in the series... I just looked and the version I played was special edition which was "easier"... um, it had check points after you beat midbosses.. okay, I can see how having to start a 20 minute level over from the beginning if you fuck up is stupid.. that's not difficult, that's POOR GAME DESIGN. But, yeah, simple/fun game... even though it's not very good! 2 and 3 SUCK. But, actually, strangely, I think the first game is a masterpiece. I have some box that has all 3 in hem. ACTUALLY.......)

Read up on God Hand, Joe, you'd dig it (though, I reccomend Ico, Dragon Quest VIII, Disgaea 2, Okami, Gradius V, and Odin Sphere first if we're talking PS2 games!!): http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/godhand/godhand.htm

 

 

 

 

Genuinely badass game. Seems to have some similarities to one of the best games of this generation, No More Heroes. It actually does have some PN03 similarities as well, except you're not shooting same looking enemies in same-looking corridors. YOU GET TO SPANK PEOPLE! In the Japanese version, you eat curry made from chihuahua skin!

Man, how good of a company is Capcom though? I recently realized that most of the PS2 games I own are Capcom games. And Capcom Classics Collection 1 and 2 (between both collections -- which I got for $10 a piece -- there are, oh, 54 or so PERFECT GAMES), Mega Man Anniversary Collection, Mega Man X Collection.... well... let's just say that I've probably put an UNHEALTHY amount of hours into those games. And, of course, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is one of my all time favorite games, my fav. puzzle game, perhaps, though Tetris Attack, Lumines, and Intelligent Qube have gotten more play overall -- mainly because I mastered Puzzle Fighter almost immediately and won that 64 person tournament with it. Capcom for life.

If anyone's friends with me on soulseek, I'm sharing mega man 1-10 soundtracks!!

[EVOLghost]

I'm playin' the poopin' game right now.


but I'm gonna go pick up Halo:Reach too....I need a multiplayer FPS....

[atsonicpark]

Try Goldeneye.

Heheh.

I still play Goldeneye with my friend all the time. We simply have not found a FPS we like more. Facility with proximity mines. We play it on a huge theater ish screen, with a projector. Sure, I always DESTROY him but..
