Sex and gore is awesome and all, but it's just that when that's the only good thing about a game is when it's out of hand.

Yeah what Keranu said is what I meant. Hell God of War is one of the best games I've pretty much ever played and it's packed to the hilt with sex and gore.

Anyone who has played RE4 yet still don't think it's a great game is stupid beyond belief. Side stepping? HTF is sidestepping going to help you in RE4? The only thing it helps is dodging weapons the enemies thow at you which don't happen all that much anyway. There are a lot of moves Capcom could've added to RE4, but at the end of the day you gotta draw the line somewhere. RE4 is almost close to perfect in all categories. If you want to criticize the control then find a valid argument. Making up BS to nitpick just makes you look stupid.

Oh and God of War looks like one of the most generic POS games I've ever seen. Cheezy@ss game to boot and bordering on stupid just like Ghost Hunter.

You haven't played it. When you do, then you can talk about it.

I recently finished it and it is one of the best games I've played this year.

Have to play this one sooner or later.

To get a bit back to this topic, if you can be bothered, emulation is possible on the xbox right now.
At one time i knew about a guy who was selling DVD's with a whole library of turbografx/PC engine games and other formats for the xbox (possible if your xbox is modified).
I e-mailed him for prices including shipping one day but he never answered back.
But what the heck, i guess it will still be possible on the next gen's, and maybe better.

It may be stupid in a game but it's like it is in real life.
In real life you can't just run around, strafe while aiming to shoot like in an fps.
To aim and shoot you always must come to a halt or progress slowly and shoot as you do in games like rainbow six.

Are you f*cking retarded? I want to be able to WALK SIDEWAYS, and that's too much to ask? Jesus dude, the guy is supposed to be a mother f*cking special badass agent sent in to rescue the president's daughter and he CANT EVEN SIDESTEP A f*ckING ZOMBINE LUNGING AT HIM. I'm not asking for a back flip into a commando roll, I'm asking for a simple SIDESTEP so that I don't have to hit the turn around button, run off a ways, then turn back around and start shooting again everytime I fight a zombie.

Combat SUCKS in RE4, period. You have to come to a complete full stop to shoot, you can only move forward and backward, you can't shoot while moving (and don't give me any shit about not being able to do that in real life, anybody who would be in any type of special forces would be able to walk and shoot reasonably accurately in real life).

See you're exactly the type of Nintendo loving halfwit I'm talking about. You've never even played God of War yet you rag on it for being generic while RE4 is the SAME hackneyed Zombie shit they've been recycling for the last 8 YEARS. Had God of War been on the GC or made by Japanese people I'm sure you'd be slobbing all over it's knob.

Resident Evil has always sucked anyways.

RCduck7 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 05, 2005, 07:07:14 AM »

I think Res 4 is one of the most awesome games recently.
But off coursse, if this was everyone on the planet's cup of tea, life would be boring.

Does anyone here on the forum like Zelda or Metroid Prime?
Just trying to see if someone's here with the same tastes as mine.

For some the combat may suck in res 4 and i admit a slow sidestep should be possible but running around shooting stuff in open area's as you see in hollywood flicks is even more unrealistic and would make the game to easy and take away the tension if your attackers only carry a three-pronged fork.
The developers of res 4 aren't stupid and know if you take away one problem (not running while shooting) will create a bigger problem.
It isn't that easy you know, you should take a moment and think about that.
In Halo or Metroid you can run around while shooting wich is good and believeable as you play someone supernatural, a one man army, and the enemies attack more wich would be to difficult if you were standing still.

What i really hate is Metal Gear Solid 3 with it's restrained wayward camerera's and the rely on sensors to scan your suroundings.
I mean you can't see where your going and get dedected all the time.
I don't understand how people put up with it.
It must be the story and cinematics i think.

Keranu · « **Reply #40 on:** August 05, 2005, 09:07:18 AM »

Zelda: The Wind Waker (keep in mind that I have never finished the game) is really awesome when you first start a game, but I always bored of it quickly soon after. Still a nice game. I have never started a game in Metroid Prime, even though my little brother's have both of them, but I keep say I am going to, but fail to actually do so.

RCduck7 · « **Reply #41 on:** August 05, 2005, 09:52:36 AM »

The only niggle i found for Metroid Prime was the backtracking.
But i didn't really care as it was quit an addictive game for me.
Got to play God of War someday.
Right now i'm playing Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness because i bought for only 10 euros.
Loved the previous games but this one is... well uh... bad.

Also picked up manhunt (yes one of the most violent games ever!) cheap to see if it's any good as it got very mixed reviews.
Also got Out Run 2, this was a no-brainer.

This topic is getting a bit out of hand but it's becoming my favorite.
But please feel free to discuss turbo related stuff.

GUTS · « **Reply #42 on:** August 05, 2005, 10:40:03 AM »

Did you try Metroid Prime Echoes? It seemed cool but the menu screen was really bad, I hated rotating the options around so much that I quit after a couple hours. The D-pad was quicker, but confusing as it was too jumpy and you could'nt see the otions very well unless they were rotated. I don't know why the hell they didn't just re-use Prime's menus, those worked fine.

METROID PRIME: I totally dug this game. I was really surprised -- I felt it captured the spirit of the original platformer (i.e. rolling around as a ball, exploring, using weapons / abilities intelligently) while infusing some new atmosphere and gameplay mechanics.

MP is one of the few "modern" games that I've actually completed -- heck, it's one of the few modern games that I've stayed up all night playing.

So, I'm certainly no expert on contemporary games... but MP rocked.

RCduck7 · « **Reply #44 on:** August 05, 2005, 12:19:54 PM »

Yes, it really did capture the spirit of the original, surprisingly as it was given to another developer.
It scored 9/10 in EDGE magazine and 10/10 in GamesTM, 2 of the most respected magazines here from the UK.
For me it beats Halo as a single player game.
I didn't bought or played Echoes yet as it wasn't that long ago i finished Prime and i like a bit variation in between.
As for Zelda, i didn't play the windwaker yet but i finished all Zelda's except for the NES and the mediocre Philips CDI ones.
The mask and timetravelling thing from Majora's mask was a bit of a pain but underneath it was a really great game.
I think a lot of people gave up from the start and missed out.
