For some reason I started to play C&C Red Alert Retaliation today it was fun for the first couple mins. and started to slow down. Then I switched to Resident Evil 2 played it a little and pop in RE3 it was fun for a couple hours. But I went back and played C&C RA2/YR and Resident evil outbreak and RE4.

Tell me what games you still play that have became better. :p

Switching between games isn't a good idea i think it ruins gaming experience cause then you don't know what to play it happens too me

I switch too, else it becomes a little boring to me. I play one C&C mission, and then I visit Revora and talk to some people. Then I play a mission again etc. I can't really stand playing a game for 5 hours long without a pause. I don't switch between mutiple games though. I play a game for about some time (like this week I've been playing C&C and not much other games) and then I play some other game (when I have finished the C&C missions (no, not for the first time :mellow:), I'm going to play another game (don't know which one yet, but there are plenty waiting for me ;), maybe I'm going to replay the YR missions..)
I don't really get what you mean by this:

He means old games that seem to have got better as you come back to them.

I find that when I first play a game I suck at it. But after a year, I come back and I'm suddenly God. :mellow:
But no game becoems better when you come back to it...it can't. I can't play a PS1 game without laughing at the graphics now. But I love the gameplay of most PS1 games, so it's a dilemma..

What I meant is game like:C&C Red Alert=C&C Red Alert2
Homeworld=Homeworld2
Resident Evil 1-4
etc..................

You know the games that have became better through the seires of games that been made like Doom that started off on the PC and moved to SNES and now it is now the Xbox with a better look. This is what I meant and sorry if you did not uderstand. :mellow:


Ps yes like CJ said and yes it is funny to look at :) like Prince of Persia when it first came out on NES and now look at free-form fighting, asskicking hero soldier just like GOD of War(sweet kickass game :p ) and can't wait to for the third installment of Prince of Persia this is another game I must buy. ;)

I tend to get pissed off with a game when I die twice :lol: I'm desperate to get further on Deus Ex 2 but I need a guide for it.

*goes to Gamefaqs* :w00t:

I've played one game for 30+ hours in one sitting before.


Mostly Final Fantasies, and generally within 2 days of its release.


I'm such a whore.

Don't mention Sonic 3 and Knuckles to me. Getting that last Super Emerald was the bane of my life for a year. I gave up on it for a year and a half before I finally sussed it. I was so proud...


And hey Koma, I can pull that on FF's too...my FF8 save mounted up a lovely 108hours. 42 of those were sleepless nights...

I still play FF8 because it is the best one that I like out of te seires because of it story line and the music. But I know that 10 has so kick ass music like the first song that is played when Sin destorys the city which I love but like I said I still love 8 more then the others. :grin:

PS since we are talking about FF when is the new movie Advent Children supposed to be in the theaters it is way past it release date.

Chances are, AC won't happen.

FF8's storyline is nothing compared to FF7's. I don't even like FF10's graphics as much as I like FF8's...I loved the summons of 8, and the environments. Especially Esthar :grin:

What I was taking about is that I don't like far fetched story lines just some you can undersstand like Star ocean till the end of time which to me has a good story line and yes FF 10 does suck a little the fact is that it is set up wrong thats why I get more enjoyent out of FF 10.2 because not just it is playing as a much of girls I just like the setup and much more funny but I can't wait for FF 12 <3 .


Also if you are right about AC then that sucks, :lol: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :) :huh: I have been waiting so long for it so what the hell.

I much prefered FFX to X-2, I just found it more enjoyable as a game. I thought the story was good, and epic, and much more interesting that X-2. it was deeper and understanding it was half the fun. I also hated the real-time combat in X-2... much prefered combat in X because you could actually think and plan well.

Oh, and AC is gonna come out on DVD and UMD only isn't it? http://www.adventchildren.net/
