I've completed the GC version a couple of times, but the unlockables
you get aren't the same ones you get in the PS2 version. Operation Ada
takes about 10 minutes to complete on the GC version, and the same on
the PS2 version I'm sure, but in addition it has the "seperate ways"
side quest which lets you do play Ada what is doing during the main
storyline. You also get an energy weapon in the PS2 version that you
don't get in the GC version, and MORE costumes besides the additional
GC versions.

AtM, shame you don't enjoy it man, but you are one of the few. Most
people seem to agree that while a bit of a departure from the original
RE games, it is a marked improvement overall and one of the best action
games ever. Overly linear perhaps, and not as scary perhaps, but still
an improvement.

What's stranged is I positively loved RE1, RE2, and RE3. I have a
tradition with a good friend of mine where the two of us play through
the games together in the pitch dark all night. I'm going to see
him in less than 2 weeks and we'll continue it with RE4... I wonder how
he will react to the game.

I think I just miss the traditional zombies... and all the weapon choices are overwhelming.

Well I'm pretty pissed.

After almost 2 weeks of waiting, ICO finally came in the mail.
And guess what? For the first time ever I'm getting Disk Read
Errors. I've done some research and I learned its because ICO is
so old it uses a blue bottom CD. I wish I knew this game would
have been unplayable before I shelled out the clams for it (and waited
so anxiously for it to arrive).

So basically I'm hating my PS2 right now.

RRrrrrrRrGHH!

Blue discs has nothing to do with the games age. It has to do with the type of disc. It holds less space, it isn't a DVD.

And, if you had your receipt still you could get a replacement. Because there's a class action law suit against Sony since they claim, "you should never get disc read errors".

But it's the PS2, not the game. Try sitting it horizontally :razz:

Sometime last week, I picked up 007: Everything or Nothing and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quest for $20 :smile:

I should stop spending money.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Reorienting the PS2 didn't do anything, unfortunately.

I heard rumors that some finagling with scotch tape on the label side
of the CD could make the disk thicker and easier to read? I dunno
...

Its on the under side that you put the tape (masking tape works good),
in the middle where there is no data. Just put three or four small
pieces in between the hole and the little ridge before the data begins.
On all the discs I've tried this on it's worked. It works for both blue
discs and PS1 discs that won't read. I remember this pissed me off,
after only a few months of having a PS2 some discs wouldn't read
anymore. And it also seems that having the PS2 horizontal works better.

---

o

Horizontal = Flat. The "side" of the older PS2 isn't flat, you need a stand to make it that way (stupid).

As for problems with PSX games on PS2 ... it's usually an emulation issue ... not all PSX games work on PS2.

I found (happily) that ripped DVDs work on PS2 :smile:

I remember the day I brought my (first) PS2 home. I rented some crappy games (SSX and XSquad .. or something) and I enjoyed them ... then I tried using the PS2 again that night. It didn't work.
The piece of garbage broke the day I bought it!

I called the place I bought it from (Target) and explained the ordeal, they gave me permission to open it up and get the game out, since it was a rental, and I would get a PS2 from the next shipment. Needless to say, I was pissed I had to wait another month. (I had to buy some electronics Phillips head bits too. They're pretty tiny)

I plan on pimping my PS2 out sometime though. I'm tired of buying games and finding out they blow ass about half way through. That and ... disc read errors wouldn't matter if you had a HDD to put them on :smile: (How you'd get them on that HDD is another matter however.)

Yes, I felt like sharing that story. You read it and you can't unread it!!

Thanks BvS... I'll give it a shot.

Edit: It took 2 tries, but I got it to work! Thank you so much! I'm really happy that I finally get to play this game!

Yeah, if you're having that problem get in on that Class Action.

Mine's just slow now, it takes a lot longer to read discs than it used
to (Mine was about 2 months after release date). I might open it and
clean the laser, but I don't know exactly how successful that will be.

SSX was a great game, I just recently bought SSX3 for Xbox, and have
the first two on PS2. It feels like such a gyp when I get a new PS2
game to find it's a Blue (CD) game. Like Taiko...they could have maxed
the game with a ton of songs or something, but no, it's CD and has
limited songs..lame. Even keeping all the songs from the Japanese
versions (There are like 6 versions) would have been wicked. But the
American market always gets watered down crud.

My hall has been addicted to Mario Kart 64 for the entire year, so
recently we decided to pool our money and buy a new gamecube, 4
controllers, and a used copy of Double Dash. It came last
Thursday, and we've played it a lot since then. It's really
different from the 64 version, and we're kind of split on the versions
we prefer. Personally, I like the 64 version better, because the
controls feel tighter, and the courses seem better designed, although
both are fun.

IMO N64 and SNES are the best consoles ever. Nothing else matches 'em in terms of good ol' fun.

NES, SNES and Gamecube have been the most "Fun". But I've had great
times with some games on pretty well all consoles. Still trying to find
a Sega Genesis v2 + SegaCD to add to my collection.

As for Mario Kart, I just bought the DS version, it's been pretty good
so far, I like the fact that they added a whole set of retro cups. I
only own this iteration, but have played the others for many hours, my
favourite by far is the original on SNES though.

SNES/GC/Xbox for me. Anyways.

I've been playing Soldat lately 'cause I don't have much in the way of good games that would actually cost money. Good stuff, though the bots are rather noobish even on "Impossible" (once you get used to it, anyway) It's great fun killing 4 hiding out in a bunker with a well-placed LAW, though, and I cackle every time.

I bought COD 2 on the weekend and its brilliant. It's taken all the
good bits of the first game and added a whole bunch of new stuff which
increases the goodness significantly. It's realy intense, with just
enough of a break to let you recover slightly before piling it on
again. There are some great references to Saving Private Ryan and Band
of Brothers, but not in the form of direct copies like in the earlier
games, but rather the similar situation or type of action. There's a
few moments when you've turned a German attack and their running for
the hills, or for cover, and you open up on them with a garand,
shooting them in the back using the old iron sights like in BoB. The
whole one 'accurate' shot kill makes the semi-auto rifles a blast.

The new damage system is interesting. There is no health bar or health
pickups. You can only take a certain amount of sustained damage. You
can take a lot as long as its not in one short period of time, also
allowing you to recover by taking some time out. Of course with the
frantic nature of the gameplay there isn't often time to take a break.

The free choice in objective order and also the option of choosing
different paths, which result in different enemy numbers, is cool.
However a lot of times I couldn't find a noticeable difference. When I
replay it from the start I'll try a completely different route.

The battlechatter is useful, like when the enemy is attacking from
various sides, calling out 'enemy coming from the south' or whatever.
It bumps up the realism significantly, making it that much more intense
whenever your men start yelling about a tank or mg.

All round a fan-f**king-tastic game, easily on par or better than the
original and expansion. Well worth the money if you aren't sick of
totally awesome WW2 action :smile: .

I've heard that CoD 2 was just an exact repeat of CoD 1. I've yet to try the demo though...

I just dug out my old Ghost Recon Gold Edition CD pack, I'd almost forgotten how great those games are (GR and expansions).

I haven't played the full game yet, but the portion that's in the demo isn't in CoD1 at all.

I strolled through Fred Meyers the other day, found a nice new ... clearance ... copy of Katamari Damacy. I only had to shell out $1.99 for it :smile: (Got a gift certificate from my moms work for $15)

I'm still trying to figure out how to get into Co-Op mode ... Maybe I'm thinking of We Love Katamari.

My brother brought me the expansion for Painkiller, it's some pretty intense s**t. :smile: 40 guys at the same time didn't even blow up my computer, which is cool since all the graphical settings were at the highest (discluding resolution). AND there's a flamethrower, AND a 5-barreled stakegun... le sigh.

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

Went home for thanksgiving break and managed to spend some more time
playing Rome: Total War. I'd like to fully endorse this game
now. Great great fun.

I rented Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2, and MGS3:Snake Eater.

Outbreak was alright, it wasn't too much fun offline, and the load times were annoying.

MGS3 was a mixed bag. I absolutely love the realism elements
(eating, treating wounds, combat, camo) and the detail and the graphics
and sound were all top notch. What I didn't like was the
supernatural elements that seem to be getting more and more over the
top with each game. It just seems childish. I much prefer
sneaking around / fighting the common soldiers to the zany and
impossible boss battles.

I'm scared s**tless after playing the first 2 missions of
F.E.A.R. It's just sooooo scary. Stuff pops up all of a
sudden and scares the hell outa you. On top of all this, it's got
an interesting story (from what has been revealed so far) and
it's an incredibly good shooter. There's a melee attack taht has
a lot of options too, like if you're just standing, he buts with his
gun. If you run and jump, then he does some cool kicking
thing.

Its just great and suspenseful. Play it now!

I've been playing Call of Duty 2. Great game, it follows on from the original well. Unfortunately, if I try putting it in DX9 mode, text is garbled. Apart from that, nothing really sticks out as being a major issue. I like the new health system too.

---

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

Ahhh, I'm so scared. Played a lot more F.E.A.R and it's so
friekin scary. Out of nowhere the guy walking infront of you just
disintegrates and that girl starts walking at you.... ahhhh!

The AI in it is unmatched in any game. They take these really
tactical moves against you, like circling your hiding spot at coming at
you from all ways. Man, great great game!

I wonder what structure they used for the AI. What agents, I should say.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

After playing the demo of it before it came out, I'd always meant to
pick up kill.switch. It's an action game that was rather praised
for its use of cover - you don't stand much of a chance running into
enemy filled rooms in this game, so you have to sidle up to pillars or
behind overturned tables to protect yourself. This is done in a very
explicit way, in that you actually press a button to "take cover" which
locks you onto the surface. Once you've done this you can slide along
it and peek around the edges, or over the top, and shoot while still
mostly in cover, or alternatively keep yourself in cover entirely and
sacrifice accuracy for complete protection (blindfire). It's kinda like
a third person, non-lightgun version of the Time Crisis games, and for
the most part it was enjoyable if rather repetitive. The worst part
about the game was that just as you feel you are getting into it story
wise, it just ends. It was completely surreal for me, I had absolutely
NO idea I was on the end boss when I killed him, and when the credits
roled I was completely taken aback. Normally, when such a scenario
sneeks up on you you do have some feeling that it could be the end, but
it just wasn't the case here whatsoever. After only 3 and a half hours
I was really left wanting :sad:

Also picked up Resident Evil: Outbreak - seeing as I own almost
all the Resident Evil games I figured I might as well try and collect
the whole lot. My expectations weren't too high here as I knew it was
meant to be an online game, and since they removed the online
functionality from the UK release it was bound to be left a little
unsatisfying. Initial reactions were actually pleasantly surprising
though; it had a great intro that referenced the events of Resident
Evil 2 and set the scene nicely, and the prescence of friendly
characters, even if they were driven by rather poor AI, was a nice
change that helped the atmosphere a lot. The first level was a pretty
intense and stressful escape from ever chasing zombie hoardes, and the
want to keep your allies safe added a bit more to the normal "just
survive" gameplay. Unfortunately insane load times (10-15 seconds PER
ROOM for god's sake!), dumb AI, and the ever taunting existance of the
vastly superior Resident Evil 4 really detracts from this game in the
long run. The second chapter really misses the intensity of the first
by placing you in some stupid scenario (no joke, it's introduction says
"After escaping the streets of Raccoon City, we found ourselves in an
underground frozen research facility" - WTF?! How?!?!?!), removing the
immediate threat (ie. you are no longer being chased), destroying the
pacing, and using dull and repetitive environments. At the moment I'm
stuck on the boss of this chapter, and whether or not I'll bother
trying to get past it again is quite the question, more due to the
unacceptable load times than anything else.

I've been compiling a list of games I've played into an excel
spreadsheet lately. Initially it was just a list of games I own, but
then I started putting in others that belonged to my flatmate that I
had completed, or ones I'd traded in or borrowed over the years. It's
grow beyond all my expectations and now consists of around 250 games;
those I own, have owned, or have played for some significant period.
Marking them as completed or not has proven quite interesting, and by
having genres marked I can see what systems I use for what genres most
often. I'm not going back to the Amiga/Mega Drive/SNES days or earlier,
as then it becomes quite ridiculous, but from the PS1/N64/Saturn days
forward.

You should see the spreadsheet I started compiling before taking inventory of my games, I finally borrowed my girlfriend's dig. camera so I can take a picture of my collection and I'll post a few shots here. There are just too many games I've played to list.

The sudden ending you talk about reminds me of when I played Zone of Enders once, I rented it when it came out, and the end of the game just sort of happened, it was like a non-interactive last boss battle practically and then as I'm watching the cutscenes for something cool to happen the credits roll, it was pretty weak.

Picked up F.E.A.R. today seeing as it was only ?20 in Game at the
moment, and I'm really glad I did. I enjoyed the demo and the full game
is as expected. The environments repeat a tad more than I'd like but
while the level design is a bit bland, it often makes for incredible
firefights. The enemy AI is quite remarkable and brings about some
really unpredictable and exciting battles. Initially I found the game
far too simple, as on hard mode I was stocked up with 10 healthkits at
almost all times and only died a couple of times, but the difficulty
ramped up quite dramatically and some segments have been pretty tough.
Though the levels feel quite blocky, the particles and visual effects
more than make up for it in my opinion. Rarely do firefights looks so
god damned gorgeous. It doesn't throw its fantastic features in your
face either - limbs can fly and bodies can be gibbed, but they happen
rarely enough for it to be a special thing when it happens. Watching an
enemy's arm flying off, spraying gun still in hand, while leaning and
running in slow-mo is an awesome experience indeed.

it's mainly the DX9 rendering. if you switch it over to 7 you'll get a
HUGE performance boost. Basically, you don't get a lot of the prettier
shader effects and bloom. but that's a really solid game.

I was rather dissapointed with some of the LD in FEAR, and liked other
parts of it, but overall felt it could have been a lot prettier. The
gameplay is pretty solid though.

Lately I've been playing a LOT of Colin McRae 2005. WOOOW. Probably the best racing game I've ever played.

Going through JK2:Outcast... again. I think this is the .. maybe 5th time through? Second time on Jedi Master. Easily my favorite SW game of all time.

I think that's all I've been playing of late, though I did go on a Civ2 binge a while ago. hehe. <3 Civ2

CoD 2 is pretty darned good, though the first is still the best. I
found the ending of CoD 2 to be a let down, really standard and seemed
tacked on. Enjoy the Russian missions while they last because they are
some of the funnest, the british tank missions are fairly easy, but
fun, and the point du hoc mission is really intense.

Played StarWars: Battlefront 2 on the PS2 the other day with some mates
and it was pretty good. I'll be getting the PC version for christmas,
which should be fun online.

I'm glad you said FEAR is good Reno, cause I've been hanging on the
edge trying to decide whether or not to get it. They have it for $20
off at EB Games so I might pick it up.

Reno: I've turned the settings to the lowest, and it still
jerks. I've tried turning down my Hardware Acceleration, because
that worked for Age of Mythology, but it did nothing.

Belgarion: How might I switch to 7? I'm really desperate.

I completely agree with you Belgarion, CoD 2 is a great game. I like the humour in the russian campaign ("Why are we using potatoes instead of grenades?" "Because real grenades are worth much more than you!"). The british campaign does get really good in parts, when theres 40 or so German soldiers swarming down a hill at you. I'm surprised how well the game actually ran in that part.

To switch to DX7 mode, you should be able to go into the video options and just click an option, anything related to Direct3D mode or something. I had to play in 7 because I got garbled text when switching to 9.

Got FEAR a couple of weeks ago along with a long overdue PC upgrade and haven't been finding it much fun to be honest. Nowhere near as good as the reviews would suggest. I've not touched it for about a week cos I kept dying on the easy setting. Every time I jump out of the helicopter and try to run for cover, they slaughered me so I gave up.

Burnout 4 has been commanding a fair bit of my time though. Still waaay too fast, but at least you are allowed to run everything else off the road!

Someone at the pit should buy it for you and then ship it over as a Christmas present.

Or, since it isn't released in your country yet you could just ... obtain it. Then IF it does come out, buy it.

Nothing stopping you from getting another countries version.

Or you could stop bitching and buy it online from somewhere else. :razz:

You know, I was thinking the same thing- I was gunna replay Ghost Recon and Operation Flashpoint again, and with my PC spec now compared to the spec back then (Athlon 700mhz with Geforce 2!) I should be able to run everything on insane graphics options and still have perfectly smooth gameplay!

Don't suppose you guys think Ghost Recon will run on my 1.6Ghz Pentium M with annoying 64mb shared video memory :-/ and 512mb ram? Guild Wars just about ran on lowest settings- which suprised me.

Easily, I'd say. It's not a very graphic intense game, but the
gameplay is to die for. By the way, anyone seen the trailers for
number 3? Beeeaauutiful stuff.

I haven't seen anything relating to that in the video options. Man, this is pissing me off.

Okay, I found it! It was called like "Render mode" or something,
and not being in the tech-know-how I didn't realize what was going on.

Anyways it runs beautifully now. I've just finished the
first segment of the first British level in Africa. It's
seriously intense sometimes. That first Brit level is just
mayhem, jerries everywhere and man... crazy. I'm glad that they
have that weird health system or I'd be quite dead.

The last Russian mission where you retake Stalingrad has some wicked firefights as well.

I've also found the smoke grenade to be incredibly useful, especially in that first Brit mission, I was smokin like a mad man.

I'm also a big fan of the multiple objectives thing, where you have to
complete A B and C but you can go any which way and do it in any order
you want. That allows a bit more re-play-ability and adds some
thought to how you play.

All in all, great game so far. Classic CoD action that I've come
to know and love. (I just realized that I've played CoD 1 about 5
times and I'm halfway through my 6th. I hope I can do the same
with this game.)

With all the updates that have come out recently for CS:S, and me being
home for the holidays with my desktop computer, I've been playing it a
lot the past day or so.

They've brought in de_nuke, two new player models, but my favorite
addition is that when not in use, the primary weapon is slung across
your back, and your pistol is in its holder. These aesthetic
touches compliment the grenades nicely.

It's also nice to see that after not playing CS:S for months, I can
still do really well against pub players. It goes to show that
while my aiming is a little rusty, being able to play smart and
outthink opponents counts for so much.

And nothing beats being the last one alive and killing five opponents in a row to win the round.

Well not to long ago I went back for some Nostalgia and played Blast
Corps, which was, in my opinion, one of the games that you had
to have if you had an N64. Over the last to days, I cracked open
my Dreamcast and started playing Toy Commander, which was another game,
in my opinion, that you had to have if you had a Dreamcast.

Ahahah, saving toy cows from "Exterteristials" :biggrin:

Alright. Just finished CoD 2. It's an amazing game.
Still don't quite understand how the health system works, but enjoy it
for it's originality nonetheless.

I'm just starting to install Battlefront 2. I loved the first one, hopefully this one won't let me down.

I'm busy playing through Max Payne 2. (Picked it up as a budget title couple of weeks ago). Bullet-time effect still amazes me. I sometimes quickload just to clear the room in a more ... stylish way. :smile:

:: Forceflow.be :: Nuclear Dawn developer

If you liked bullet-time in Max Payne, you should REALLY play FEAR. They do it better than anyone... I'm playing this game through a second time, immidiately after finishing it, and I usually have a hard time finishing games.

FEAR is really incredible for visual effects. It's not the most jaw
droppingly gorgeous game in general, but I've never seen a game make
the actual combat so gloriously beautiful. The sharpening effect of the
slowmo, the over the top yet effective displacement mapping of the
bullet decals, the crazy amount of sparks and other particle effects,
the bullet trails, the perfectly balanced amount of body
gibbing/detachable limbs, the stuntman physics creating some great
death animations, the...

Really, it's a wonderful experience. Play it people...play it :smile:

DoD:S has been sucking me in again. I love the new map they
released... in fact, it has made me realize how much fun the co-op
capture point maps are.

Indeed. That's why it was such a good LAN game, because it forced
you to work as a team. I've had some mighty good matches on DoD.

Got FEAR for Christmas and am having a ball. It's awesome going bullet
time with dual pistols or the shotgun, or cycle kicking bad guys in the
head. The level design and layouts aren't exactly inspired, but there
is a real freaky mood created throughout the game. I loved the tiles
falling of the wall at the start. In fact I might play some now :smile: .

Oh and those who play BF2 will notice some significant improvements to
various weapons since the latest patch. The m95 can no in fact kill
with one shot, and the anti-tank rockets have some guidance abilities.
Of course EA has decided that in order to boost sales of the Special
Forces expansion they have allowed SF weapons into ordinary BF2, but
only for those with the expansion. I've found this gives them a huge
advantage with the more accurate and powerful weapons.
