The Sands of Time was cool and had no blood.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Vince Vaughn was in a video game?

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.

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.

Canyarion · 07-11-2004, 10:58 AM

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

GiMpY-wAnNaBe · 07-11-2004, 02:26 PM

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