Tell me IGN is wrong (Worth of my 2600 collection)

[Tell me IGN is wrong (Worth of my 2600 collection)]

its based on the IGN gamestore value of the games (which is gamestop). So thats how much gamestop would charge for those games.

[Sick of Japanese RPG's]

of course, they never do explain where tidus or jecht really came from. they came "from a dream" thats about the most detailed it got. FFX was an improvement over 8 and 9, but even 7 was a tad better, and no FF game is as good as Phantasy Star.

[Too much unlocking?]

i think the worst was the sonic mega collection, had they made it where you unlock a game by beating a game, it wouldve been much better. But i spent two hours starting and stopping every game 50 times to unlock everything

[N64 colectors are nuts.]

i meant that the ratio of good and crap was about the same,

[Too much unlocking?]

if this is the dreamcast version, then head to booyaka.com and download game saves to your VMU.

[N64 colectors are nuts.]

the N64 is no crappier than the PSX

[Sick of Japanese RPG's]

face it, video game plots suck across the board

 

american plots tend to be uber-macho which as we all know is just repressed homosexuality. The only RPG story that made sense from beginning to end and grabbed me was Phantasy Star II. In terms of gameplay, it was extremely dull, but the dungeons were incredibly complex mazes that required you to map them out (and even with graph paper, it was easy to get lost), and the story line didn't involve any lame ass glowing balls of light or any weird hybrid of eastern and western gods meddling with mortals and taking mythical forms set on destroying the world for whatever cloudy reason, it was sci-fi through and through, and the ending was simply shocking. Its where my avatar and user sig comes from. But it was under the radar in 1989 when it was released, and it doesnt feature the eye candy and hold-your-hand unchallenge that today's console RPGs have

[XBX > PS2 > GCN in gaming reviews.]

Dreamcast > everything else

 

 

as much as people complain about the cube, i think its a huge leap from the N64. The X-Box doesnt have very many must plays, and the PS2 is a sea of mediocrity.

[Futurama video game]

yes it will suck, unless Konami picks up the rights and uses the characters in a six player beat-em-up ala TMNT and the Simpsons arcade games

i really dont want to part with it, but im in too much debt right now. as i mentioned in the auction, there are some little quirks with it, but i think it can be fixed by somebody who knows what they are doing. I had the unit at the cinciclassic if anybody saw me there. i hope it gets a good new home

[RPG completists]

the games that reward you the most for finding rare stuff sadly cannot be "completed". im talking about Phantasy Star Online. I put in 200 hours, and didnt even dent the rare items list.

 

I wouldve liked to do everything in Final Fantasy X, but Blitzball pissed me off, and some of those minigames were just too annoying.

i thought the doubling rate (moore's law) was 18 months?

[Sega going the way of Atari]

in terms of hardware makers....

[Sega going the way of Atari]

well, Nintendo is the last true gaming company

 

Sony and M$ are large monster corporations that see video game hardware as another avenue of profits. I dont like a lot of things about them, but becuase gaming is their number one priority, i give them the benefit of the doubt.

[Intellivision hatred!]

i thought third parties were forbidden from using the EXEC, since it was copyrighted software.

[Vintage or Classic]

i think there are three good classifications. i forget where i read them

 

Joystick era (everything up until 1984)

Joypad era (8 and 16 bit machines)

Analog era (Sega Saturn and beyond)

 

pretty easy to remember, i think terms like vintage, classic, retro etc. can all be interchanged

Hey if you're a corporation with lots of $$$, you're practically free to do what you want.  Get with the show, man!  

 

 

yeah i knew that already, thats why i dont agree with libertarian thinking, they believe in no corporate regulation

[BBA from Nintendo.com? Yes you can!]

but at $35 the BBA isn't too much of a risk for Phantasy Star fans

 

 

ahem...

 

thats i think you meant to say Phantasy Star PHAN

I'm glad the Acclaim section mentioned the incredibly horrible LJN games.  I didn't know Acclaim was to blame for that crap.  When the NES was the console of choice I avoided LJN games like the plague.
