has anyone mentioned portal? that game was spectacular. hl2 was good, i admit... but portal blew it completely out of the water.

Portal was probably the best short game I've ever played.

I love Katamari. Do you love Katamari?

Katamari is so fucking stupid.

But it has good music.

Words of a man who has not played nearly enough Katamari. Or someone who looks for a definitive "point" in all games.

Or somebody who likes their game to be enjoyable, have replay value, not require drugs, and have a real challenge to them.

NA NA NAA, NAH NAH NA NAHH NAHHH.....

Even if it's enjoyable (which I just happen to think it isn't, as a matter of personal preference), you can't deny that it is fucking stupid.

It's obvious who needs to do more shrooms.

Ok, I though Sheva was incredibly well acted and mocapped, and the majority of the game, as streamlined and somewhat brief as it was, was highly enjoyable...

...but the arena for the final battle might as well just been a giant toilet bowl that they flushed themselves down into. I just got to the finale last night and my brain is still crying.

^ Beat it last night. It was unspeakably absurd; a heinous debacle. Plausibility-while many times over in the RE series shiting the bed with humorous or at least entertaining results-is so mangled and defiled that even the most "creative" grade school kid would have scrapped it if it had been a comic or story told by the child. After the steaming pile of "WAT", an utterly empty ending commences and the credits roll.

I don't want to spoil what happens and [i]where[/i] for anyone who hasn't played it, but I'd have to say that it was among the most tragically poor climaxes of an otherwise fun game that I had ever witnessed.

I'll probably have a good deal of fun with Mercenaries mode, so at least it wasn't for nothing.

Everything is over the top in RE and the last fight location is worth it because of the BOULDER!. It was a pretty fun game though.

The boulder was GAR to the max, I guffawed.
The heavy trial and error "puzzle fight" element before the big finish was a bit irritating, and once we got through to the main fight, well, he just goes down like a [i]chump[/i]. Not as bad as Saddler, but still not good enough for me.

Everything is over the top in RE indeed, but I just feel that it went [i]so far beyond[/i] the ceiling that the enjoyability plummeted.

The BAD END was sweet if you don't keep your hands on the controller...

[quote="zenkalia"]i'm going to suggest klonoa for ps1 to everybody in the universe. the story and the platforming are way above par (though the platforming is a little on the easy side until the end).[/quote]

had this game, lost it, searched for ever, got it again. klonoa 2 is really great too...

also, ps2 shinobi. (if you don't like it, you probably haven't gotten past the third stage / can't play it right)
i just love slash/flying up a bridge of enemies and then watching them fall to pieces. (don't play nightshade. sucks cheeseballs)

and every megaman ever (minus battle chip challenge, biggest waste of 20 bucks EVER).

these are basically the best games ever.

also, good to see so much ZoE 2 love on this thread.

Did we mention just about every game by Blizzard and Valve? Because yeah.
