lol it wasn't ironic and funny, it was like you just said *yawn*

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

After reading through the last 6 posts several times, I have become rather confused.

I will take this as a symbol of surrender and will graciously accept your defeat. :p

Look like they need blood to keep the Prince alive. :unsure:

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

That's because they wanna stay cool and hip. You can't have a AAA game without blood anymore:Pimp::p

:smoking:

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

The Sands of Time was cool and had no blood. :unsure:

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I know ;)

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

While its being mentioned, The Sands of Time was an absolutley awsome game, that didnt get near the respect it deserved, IMO. Easily the best game of last year.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I love it when awesome games arent accepted by the public. You can get them extremely cheap. I picked up Beyond Good and Evil for the GCN for 17.99 the other day, and it is acclaimed as one of the best games of the year.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I've been looking for BG&E but haven't seen it around. They must have stopped production on it or something. I saw it for 20 bucks a while back but didn't get it cuz of money problems at the time. damnit.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

Beyond Good and Evil was another amazing game. I own the PC version. Besides being a great game to play, it also looks amazing on my PC and runs great.

But I cant say I agree with you vamp, about how you love it when good games arent accepted. This just means we'll start seeing less good games and more ****ty **** **** games that sell well just because they have Vince Vaughn in them. Arugh. Makes me sick.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

Vince Vaughn was in a video game?

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

Yeah, I guess I never really thought of it that way.

But, if it's anything like the movie industry, you'll always have those "mainstream", "cool" movies that sell really well and are huge blockbuster hits, and then you'll have the "other" movies...that may not do so well at theatres, but win all the awards.

If this is any indication of how games work...you'll always have the "mainstream" "cool" stuff that you and I see as crap, but then every now and then, something really awesome will come out, and only a select few will realize it's potential.

And then you'll have the games that are extremely popular and are extremely good...ie: the legend of zelda. Comparable to LotR in movie language.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

Not so much anymore though...I mean youve got Ocarina of Time which sold over 5 million Copies Worldwide, then youve got Wind Waker...is it even over 2 million yet? I doubt it.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

That's due to the succes of the Cube compared to the N64's. N64 sold much better than the Cube... :(
Oh yeah, almost forgot: TWW sucked. :mad:

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

Canyarion is right on 1 and a half counts. Cube hasnt sold as well as N64...and I wouldnt say that WW sucked, because I enjoyed it, but it was in no way the masterpiece that OoT was.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

You really think so? I'm not even a fan of the Gamecube (in fact I haven't touched mine in probably close to 9 months) but I thought that The Wind Waker was an absolutely sublime gaming experience, moreso than even Ocarina of Time (which was excellent, too).

The camera and controls were fantastic, the puzzles were difficult but not frustrating or illogical, the cell shaded graphics worked perfectly and it was loaded with secrets and the story was as classic as ever.

I have a hard tiem criticizing the game on any level.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I actually haven't even gotten into a single Zelda game yet :D


in anycase, games are going to get more graphic, theres no way around it, but parents should be encouraged to take game ratings more seriously.


p.s. to the people insulting Strangler, please stop flaming, this is a discussion not a flame-fest, i don't agree with him on most points but that doesn't mean he should be insulted at a personal level.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I was surprised by the reaction I got. I didn't expect confetti and a parade, but I certainly didn't think I'd get flamed to the extent that I did. You would of thought I had kicked them in the groin, and not simply pointed out how flawed the ratings enforcement in video games is currently.

Methinks some people don't want their parents taking the ratings seriously or having EB employees carding them...

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

both of the people that said the stuff have been here for less than a year, and less than 400 posts... just little troublemakers

Someone has too much time on their hands.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

everything seems fine to me, games can be as violent as they want for all I care.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I think that games should have ratings, but you shouldn't have to be a certain age to buy them. You can buy CD's with the "F" word left and right, but you can't buy a game because it has red pixels in it? Please.
The RE series was never really that violent, at least I didn't think so. Also, it was always too predictable and involved too much item-searching, like Silent Hill. Horror/Violent games need to concentrate more on ways of dispatching hellish demons than about the "story" and "plot".

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

1.) Games do have ratings.

2.) If you didnt need to be a certain age to buy them, why have the ratings?

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

I know that games have ratings. What's the point of having the rating? So parents can decide what they want their child to be exposed to. Nothing says that a 7-year old can't go and buy GTA 2 right now. I'm not saying he shouldn't have that right. My point is that somebody (i.e. parental units) should have enough authority to say "No, you're too young to play this, Jimmy." I think it would solve a lot of problems. You're not going to stop a kid from buying an "M" game. He'll get it from somewhere that will sell it to him. Same with beer, porn, or cigarettes. I guess I'm trying to say that it should be more about parenting and less about rtings. I wish my dad would have stopped me from renting "Doom" when I was 12, because it scared the **** out of me. Making better ratings systems will make our society better.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

Enforcing the ratings is a matter of law. The ESA (creators of the ESRB) can only make the ratings, they have no authority to enforce them. It's an issue that people need to take up with the Government.

And honestly, where I come from I couldn't buy games that were rated M when I was 13. They card you around here; I'm dead serious. Same with CD's with explicit lyrics.

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

You Americans and your F-word... :rolleyes: How can 1 word be worse than all this visual violence?

Don't get me wrong, I never say the F word, the worst thing I say is sh!t...

Re: Resident Evil 4
 

you need ID in order to rent GTA 3 and VC when it came out around here, i'm not sure whether it was policy or law. And i disagree with dropCGCF, I think that plot and story is more important that blasting mutants till their dead, and then blastin some more, but that may be just because i'm an RPG fan.
