And stu. God of War is un ****ing believable. It raises the bar as far as action/adventure games go. I'll warn you that it's only about 8 hours long but I don't feel like I was cheated.

1st thing, I agree somewhat about the Jak/Ratchet thing. Typically, I would like to see someone other than Ratchet this fall...but the thing is, Insomniac has made the 2nd game better than the first, and then the 3rd game better than the second. If they continue THAT trend, I wont pretend to be too disappointed. And plus, apparently this one is taking a new direction...some squad-based online gameplay. I think they can still do some new, interesting things with that engine. Those Insomniac guys are very creative.

And about GoW...all I hear is good things about the game. an 8-10 hour game is not a problem with me, and like you said, people have been saying every second was worth the ride so it doesnt feel that the length is a bad thing.

I look forward to it...

I only want a couple games.
God of War
Soul Calibur 3

and I still need to get Katamari Damacy, Then I can get the second.

Final Fantasy XII

You're right, Stonecutter. The most we ever saw of Advance Wars: Under Fire was at last year's E3. It's sort of died down now. I wonder what happened? But, on the other hand, I wasn't excited by it at all.

Fire Emblem GCN, on the other hand - that's what I can't wait for. It looks really hot. Legend of Zelda, too, and Phantasy Star Universe for sure. As well, Katamari Damacy 2!

I also have to catch up on a lot of prior releases (never even seen a Jak game or a R&C game running before.) Hopefully in my 5 months off of University, I can catch up before this generation dies down and my next-gen virgin eyes are not ruined yet.

I still want to pick up a copy of Amplitude.

Are there any more games being made in the Frenquency & Amplitude series?

No, the developer, Harmonix, is working on the Karaoke Revolution series for Konami, now. I think they're safely done for this generation, unless Sony unleashes a surprise at E3.

Ratchet is fantastic.

Jak.... umm.... what's a nice way to say sucks? Cause it does. (I've only ever played Jak II but it's really bad.)

Not 8-10. Eight... maybe.

But you'll probably want to run through it twice.

I'll rephrase

A 5-8 hour game wouldnt bother me, under said conditions.

And Jak and Daxter was a fun platformer, Jak II was a disappointment, but Ratchet and Clank is where the quality is. Best pure 3D platforming/action games ever made, in my honest opinion.

Slim pickin's indeed...

Only games I can think of are Zelda, Final Fantasy XII, and Silent Hill 5, assuming it's not a PS3 game...

God of War sounds like it's worth picking up, however between work, being lazy, and World of Warcraft, I don't have much time to play games...

BlueFire · 04-06-2005, 08:59 PM

PS2-
Kingdom Hearts 2
Fatal Frame 3
Silent Hill 5

GC-
Zelda

I just read this part again.

There are only two game mechanics that will make me HATE a game more than "squad based gameplay", those being "card battle" and "nascar."

I want God of War...

Canyarion · 04-04-2005, 05:26 PM

Let me see, games I want to play/beat before I don't have any time left:

All the Zelda games (actually, I'll be playing those for ever I think).

The DS. I'm gonna buy it after I've had my finals of this period. There are a few games for this thing that I have to play.

Can't think of much else..... I've lost interest in a lot of games.

GameMaster · 04-05-2005, 01:03 AM

• Viewtiful Joe 2
• Legend of Zelda Cubed
• Pokémon Cubed

And a PS2 to play San Andreas but maybe I'll wait for the PC version?
