Sly Reflex Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Eugh, the way I'm progressing I'll still be going next week too. Those time limits are tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Tip. Leave that egg the fuck alone. I'm making a reasonable progress, I'm up to day 11 and I have half the items. I normally start a level and keep restarting it trying to get everything down as fast as possible with minimal casualties. Normally I managed 2 items a day which I think is pretty good going. I'm fucking fed up of those floating thing deflowering my Pikmin though, the hit in speed and power you take from having them get devolved back to leaves is really noticeable when you start tackling the harder monsters. Also, the yellow Pikmin are next to fucking useless. You only need a few of them at a time, it really isn't worth spending a lot of time bulking their numbers up.

dante76 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well thats finished.. What a weird game. I'm still not sure if I liked it. It appears that Japan is full of weird people, especially the Yakuza who are the weirdest off them all. I had mission of men in nappies, immaculate conception and The Ring rip offs. Great facial animation, and the final battle went on and on and on. Lots of weird side missions and mini games, enjoyed the golf and the heat moves too. Is 3 worth going for? I can't find some of my Gamecube leads Sly, I think they got moved when my gaming room became a nursery , so your have to save / maime the Pikmin on your own for a bit longer.

Sly Reflex Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I've finished Pikmin with all ship parts collected. It's a great game, but it has it's problems. I'd still like to see them put out Pikmin for the 3DS though, as long as it wasn't a remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante76 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 What about Pikmin 2, revenge of the Pikmin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have it, but I think I'm going to give it a rest NGC Pikmin wise. There is only so much time you can shout "You stupid little red/yellow/blue fucker!" before you need a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante76 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 So I put a big pile of PS2 games in front of the proverbial other half, and said " What shall I play next?" So she chose State Of Emergency. And it's her game as well. For those not in the know, published 2001 by Rockstar, it involves you rebelling against the corporation and to eventually overthrow the system. Stick it to the man! In reality its a button mashing bore fest with no imagination, awful controls, and at best insulting AI. Apparently it caused a media storm when it released, probably due to it being so shit. Only 4 lvls in the game. One down already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I remember my mates being well into State of Emergency. It was just some crap that they sold off the back of GTA3's success. Stuck 'from those that brought you GTA3' on the adverts and box and stuff. I thought it was crap at the time, it must play like the worst bits from Dynasty Warriors and Dead Rising.

dante76 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 So thats finished. I have nothing to say about it. In fact I'm trying to recreate Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind with it. So Final Fantasy XII. So far, so good. I like and quickly understood the battle system. The graphics are good but the lip-synch is awful. The lead Vaan, isn't to whiney yet, and I've done a few hunts. I'm about to go join the Sky Pirates. All in all a currently nice experience, which is good as I heard bad things about it.

TopGunKnacker Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 dont believe ondor's lies. ive been busting snes games and 64 games recently. just dipping in, a few f-zero x gps here, a few levels of SMW there. i found a rom of an old game i had for my 64 back in the day, and i think im going to play it from start to finish. Mystical Ninja starring Goemon. anybody else play it? it was a cool platformer with very zany japanese ideas. like its set in edo japan or some such period, but theres aliens invading, and they love opera, and sometimes goemon turns into a godzilla-sized robot to battle other godzilla-sized robots.. its just really colourful and funny, cant wait to play it again!

HandsomeDead Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Shit, I remember Goemon. My mate had it and I saw him play it. It was insane, I'd love to play it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunKnacker Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 seemed to emulate really well too, from the little bit i played when i found it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Its a game I always wanted to play but being a MD owner I never got the chance For some reason I thought it had been released on Virtual Console but I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunKnacker Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I might play mystical ninja 2 as well, i was psyched to play it when i was a kid til i realised reading ONM or N64 magazine that it was a 2d platformer gameplay wise, seemed like a big step back in the brave new world of 3d. if it was now i probably wouldve got it anyway considering how much i enjoyed the first, but you had to choose carefully when you were a kid, didnt get many games!

dante76 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 N64 is on my back catalogue but its only things like Zelda, Mario and Goldeneye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante76 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 So graphically it reminds me of Vagrant Story. I've just arrived at Bespin, I mean Bhujerba.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This FF game - along with the Tactics games - are actually set in the same universe as Vagrant Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
