I started with the Atari 2600, then I owned a gameboy, an amiga CD32 ( I'm sure you don't even know this one, heh? ), and right now I have an Xbox. I spent hours on my friends NES, SNES, PSX, PS2 and Dreamcast. I've played FPS on PS2 ( Half Like and Turok2 ), plus a couple older ones I don't remember.
The whole experience utterly SUCKED ( the award going to half Life, where you can't even invert the "mouselook" ).
I know what I'm talking about, and I'm so sorry if I don't share your opinion.


I'm completely with you Venom. :)

I still say though, give Metroid Prime a shot. It doesn't play like a standard FPS and that reduces its suck factor by a huge amount. Its a First Person Platformer, more than it will ever be a Doom clone.

Well, I took a gamble and it didn't pay off. Live and learn :)

But I do have a question - why did you keep buying more and more consoles?

Oh, and as for Dave Doak, he was one of the lead programmers and general daddy of GoldenEye. He actually appeared in the game as a double agent inside the Russian chemical plant...

personally, the only reason i have a playstation is for the racing games...  Ridge racer series, Wipeout trilogy, Demolition racer, etc...

granted i haven't played many first person shooters on consoles, but the only one i ever enjoyed was Dino Crisis, all the rest sucked, yes, even goldeneye...

Console games = poo. No modding capability, and that basically makes them turd right away. :D


BTW, how the heck did this turn into a discussion about console games?

I would, but the gamecube is the only console I don't have access to.
wait, platformer? ah, no, I won't sorry, I don't like that kind of games, I suck at it.

because consoles have games that suck on PC :)
If you take the exemple of FPS, I won't change my mind, no console FPS can compare to a PC FPS. But in the otehr way around, no... mmh... for exemple no PC fightning game can compare to a console fighting game ( not that there's much PC ones these days, anyway :doubt: )
Ok, the main reason I have consoles is to play with friends.

you can mod Xbox games :p ( with a chip :D ).
Nah, really, the interest isn't there, it's, for me, to be able to seat down with 3 other friends, and play a game of Ninja chaos or DOA3 in team tag. that's a lot of fun and I don't ask anything else from them. For the rest, there's the PC.

and how? well, it began when someone compared STyxx chick to a metroid character iirc?

Agree on both counts there. Me and my friends always saw PC multiplayer as a bit of a hassle (we still live in dialup land, so multiplayer = LAN = setup time + money), so consoles were the only way to go beat up our buddies.

Shock and horror!

FFX is enjoyable, but hardly one of the best games ever. I've got it and I liked it, but it was kinda lacking on the whole 'game play' element.

yeah, that whole water football crap is just the best thing ever in a game :doubt:

I hate those "random battles" anyway.
But according to my friend, as usual, the plot rules ( got a look at some of them, and the stories are indeed cool for every FF I looked after ).
Anyway, the only one I really wanna play is, I think, the 9 ( the one with the SD characters ), I love its design.

FF9 is one of the better ones. There's gameplay, gorgeous graphics, great story--though the end boss was kinda dumb.

FF6 is probably the best of the entire lot, with 5 coming in a close second. Kefka is the only RPG villain I have ever actually hated on a personal, visceral level.

That's the only villian you remember?! What about Dr. Wily and his trademark eyebrow rising? How could you ever forget that?!
