Welcome, welcome!

Yeah, that testament is really something. Over the last few days, I've started to realise how the structure of the bible is just like every other storybook though. You really notice it when you look at the way the setup for organizing the Chrono Testament is:
Antagonist
Protagonist
Villains
Wicked One
etc.

Hell, if any story is going to be complete, doesn't it need most if not all of these factors? It is peculiar though how they showed such close similarities of CT to the bible.


Anywho, welcome aboard Domenico! Enjoy your stay!

thanks The Chrono series is prepotently one of my favourite (my cousins who are ps3 maniacs scorn at me because of the graphics... fools. XD)

[Anacalius]

Fools indeed.

Sad they people haven't realised that the gaming industry has an addiction to graphics now. It's not even about the GAMEPLAY anymore, just how it looks....


Classic games is the way to go. Know your roots.

[Dark_Ansem]

that's why nintendp will win the console war XD the wii is just too awesome

[placidchap]

GRAFIX and IMMURSHUN!!!!1!1!!1

[Thought]

At least Pixel Art is developing as a legitimate medium. There is something beautiful in a well made sprite, at a few people seem to be realizing that. Maybe it is a sign that graphics wont always rule the day.

I'm sorry, I really don't mean to insult your love for Wii here, but what is the difference between that and the other consoles (Besides the controller)? Wii's collection of games is just as lacking (if not more) in gameplay than the other consoles (all of which have a pretty crappy collection of games). I don't see much potential in any area of the gaming industry right now (besides the DS). Honestly, who can deny that the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era started off with a WAY bigger collection of quality games than this generation of consoles? I think they were in too much of a rush to produce some eye candy and get it on the shelves as quickly as possible than focusing on what it was all supposed to be about - GAMEPLAY and VARIATION.

Obviously, this is just my opinion, though. -_-

Probably should go back farther than PS2/Xbox/Gamecube, as thsoe were crap too, for the most part.

Ye dang whippersnappers, back in my day video games twere nuttin mo' than hittun each udder with sharp rocks 'til one a' us started seeing pixels floatin' 'bout ur heads. Ye kids taday have it too easy, with yer "giraffe-kicks" cards and those "by golly gons." Tings were betta back when days was worse! And a unnuder ting, ye kids ur spoiled, wid the using yer hands to manipulates dem controlers. Back in my day we didnna have hands, we had to use the bloody stumps of our wrists, and by pong we liked it! Dang kids, ge-off my console! I had ta trade my lef liver fo dat console, which was da goings price fo dem back in da day. Yerup, da atari was a left liver, yer arcadeseses charged a lef liver, and even that thar Nintendar cos a good lef liver when it firs came out. Never a right liver, no one knos why. Now some people say dat 'umans only have one liver, but I tells dem dat is jeust 'cause ever feller sold thar left livers back in da day... where was I? Oh yes, livers. They be good fer cleaning dirty game disks, ye know.

No doubt, there was a lot of crap going on in the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era as well, and the PS1/Saturn/N64 era started off way better on top of that. I think both of those eras were pretty successful though overall. Sure there were shovel loads of BS dumped into it as well, but there was an immense amount of good, quality games for them all.
By that same token, I am probably being a bit too pessimistic about the current generation, I'm sure there will be tons of quality games in the future (I have yet to find something that makes it worth buying any of them though).
Time will tell, I suppose. But classic games are still the way to go. =P

[placidchap]

Damn you and your size 1 font.

[Dark_Ansem]

heh... classic games were difficult... I still can't beat Seiken densetsu 3!!!
