Liarrrrr, you're much too easily distracted by rank stench from exploitation games such as "Halmar's Super Horse Horse" and "Apples!" and its sequel "Brown Apples!" >=0

"Oooh, God of Whooooaaah! I will just g- *sniff* *sniff* What is? HOUWAAAAGGH What is that awful stench?! Zit Popper 4! Flying Tree! Elf Bowling 2! Only $15! I have to buy them all! I don't even have this console! Super Console 64! I will buy it as well! My pants!"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's one of Enk's favorites, actually.

Incidentally, I loved Dragon Quarter, but don't like Grandia Extreme at all. I recommended it because you wanted an RPG with fun battles, not necessarily because you liked Extreme =P

I love Grandia 1 for the lovable characters and a sweeping storyline filled with adventure, not the battle system. That was only a (fun) means to an end for me.

Same way Dragon Quarter's story was minimal, but the atmosphere was extremely strong, so again the great battle system was a bonus for me, rather than the point.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Still no GDF? Should I buy it for you from here and mail it? It would get there next year!

Or you could just order it from play.com for €16

That's because it was released in pink and yellow editions!

That's because time goes slower in Australia, so 8 australian years would be 12 european years (or 16 german years).

FELIPE NO

Eternal Darkness is fantastic (if you have a perchant for "not that scary, but genuinely unnerving" horror games), excellent find.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Also bought Pokemon Pearl the other day cause my friend's a retard, and wouldn't stop telling me to buy it.

I myself can't generally stand horror games because whereas in a horror movie, where you just need to sit and watch, in games you yourself have to go through the unpleasant vent or wade through the sewer, while being attacked, etc. It's an experience alright, but not a very pleasant one for me. I really liked Silent Hill and am still trying to get through 2, but they're very difficult games for me, if you know what I mean.

Resident Evil games strike a fine balance between creepy, atmospheric and exciting, with enough gunplay to keep me feeling just empowered enough.

Eternal Darkness got this right too. It's not "scary" in the same way Silent Hill or Fatal Frame can really scare the shit out of you, but the atmosphere is good, the story is brilliantly told and structured. Many of the insanity effects are a tad gimmicky, but some of them do catch you off guard and the spell system works well, especially when combined with the puzzles. Above all I best remember the building dread you felt about the overarching storyline and some of the fates of the characters were truly cruel.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It seems to me to be the best place to get yourself adjusted to the concept of a survival horror game.

You've officially got me excited for Eternal Darkness now. I really want to start it tonight, but i need to finish my current games before i move on. I have a nasty habbit of not finishing games.

Oh, I hear that. I've lately been playing short games just to stand a better chance of finishing them. My attention span with games is terrible, it was a miracle I finished FFXII.

And yeah, I have all the GC Resident Evils, it's actually where I got my introduction to the series. I adore REmake, it's such a great title and gorgeous to look at. I really liked Zero too, despite leech mutants.

I hear you on the short games lately too. I'm really hoping Final Fantasy I is as short as people say it is.

I vaguely remember having to track 2 and 3 down from (finnish) internet auctions here, ages ago. I did score an unopened 2 relatively cheap, so I was lucky with that. They're strangely more easily available around here now, but since they're PAL, you wouldn't find that very useful.

Incidentally, after I finished Blackthorne on SNES, I started Final Fantasy Mystic Quest ='D It's just the right kind of "old" for me right now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ok, what's with the lists and short posts again? This is your last warning because it's christmas, people

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Obviously I didn't mean you Milesy (although I more let yours pass since you linked to the sale).

I was speaking idiomatically.

That, and the GC's analogue stick is better for aiming and the graphics are slightly better~

Anyway, it can't be that rare/expensive, I see it's around 3-5 bucks on ebay. But buying another version right after buying one could feel a bit silly.

cause I think I just heard someone say M$

Combined they cost less than a Wii game...but I'll still never get around to playing any of them.

Luckily Skygunner is fairly short, even with all three characters. Start with that~

Full Spectrum Warrior is fantastic, but definitely requires time and concentration, even if the campaign itself isn't that long.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

But but but Blackdown is awesome ;_;

Gather more athletics bonuses to do omegajumps hooray! And impound more vehicles. BECAUSE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But the female creature on the cover has a revealing outfit!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Now that's value for money, god damn. I'm a good 30 hours in and I'm still only 3/4 through.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Did you already own BG1 and Tales of the Swordcoast or was there some other reason you didn't get the collection with all four?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's about god damn time you bought that some games

Where did you find a copy? Also is it the original 4CD release or the white label 2CD one?

You should grab some patches and mods to make it more pleasant on modern computers.
Start from step 2~

Not that much, apart from the whole "less disc changing" with less CDs. The 2CD release is already version 1.1, while the original release needs the official patch as well as the Fixpack, at least I think.

Fantastic find though, the original release looks much nicer than the white label one.

Ace pick. Controls for shooting can be a bit off (they're RE4, really) and escorting NPCs can be a chore (when is it not), but other than that, it's absolute gold. PERFECT setting, superb visuals, animation, black humor and a slew of disturbing bosses and psychopats to fend off. Oh and dozens of weapons, I guess.

My Batmanhunt (PC version) arrived in the mail yesterday. Excellent timing since I finished Ys: Oath in Felghana last so I'm ready for some kinky latex hide 'n seek. I mean heroics.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just in time too, I just finished Breakdown last night (which was interesting concept, horrible, HORRIBLE execution)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
