    Best titles of 2005... Your thoughts?

    MGS3 in a nut shell;

     

    Gameplay = good

    Graphics = pretty

    Story = not as mind bending as previous titles

     

    And I am saying this again, if you understood Neon Genesis Evangelion's ending, MGS2's should be a walk in the park.

     

     

    Just because it wasn't as complex as MGS2, that does not mean it wasn't good. There was a lot of emotion attached to MGS3. I felt extremely sad after finishing the game.

     

    ... and graphics were pretty until the FPS hit the single digits. :P

    I didn't consider them flaws at all.  There were plenty of radars and ways to see your enemies without actually running up to them.  It added to the challenge... and console games are dumbed down enough these days.
    I have to agree. MGS3 is set in the 60s after all, so no "hi-tech" gadgets like in the past games.

     

     

    Yeah you can keep saying that, but the facts are that MGS3 used the same effective gameplay as MGS2, which was built aroud the idea that you could see where others were AND where they were looking. Realism is all good but it comes second to gameplay and I think they could have kept it intact without this kind of careless design.

     

    You could see around corners with right analogue and you had so many radars to choose from. You could see enemies all around if you knew how to use them. I don't see your point really.

    Well, Microsoft and Sony both want a home entertainment center, not just a video game console. I'd prefer just a video game console, although I do appreciate DVD playback.

     

    MS is atleast advertising the Xbox 360 as a gaming machine. Equiped with hardware that the gaming machine should have.

     

    Though I like Sony better, the hole Cell processor thing is still confusing me as is the lack of any kind of news on the PS3... No new PS3 info at CES 2006 aparently as well, are they really gonna wait until E3 and still release the PS3 by the Spring? I wonder... >.>

    Pfft, MGS3 had the best story of the 3 and the best gameplay...  If it had been a bit more challenging, it would have been my favorite.

     

    By the way, with all this talk of MGS3 I'll remind you it was made in 2004.

     

    And it probably would have been the best of the series if it were not for the glaring flaw of altering the rader without adjusting the camera. The challenge was fine if you ask me but the actual balance was shot right out of the gate. But I understand they're going to change that whole dynamic for Subsistance.

    All right. I thought this would be another fun thread idea.

     

    What are your top three titles of 2005? Don't just list them, but give a brief discription as to why you think they merit the title, "Best of 05!"

     

    3) Battlefield 2 (PC) - Yes, I know. The bugs, the glitches, the horrible tech support. The endless patches that seem to create as many errors as they fix. Worse of all, the horrible, horrible community. Despite all that, I found this game quiet interesting. Once you find a good server, with good people all those things don't matter anymore. It's pretty damn to play a FPS were you don't have to be a good shooter to be a good player.

     

    2) Resident Evil 4 (PS2) - I felt bad not having this game. Simply because I own every RE (in the numbered series) that's been released, including two version of part two. I was initially a bit worried about how much they changed the gameplay. I didn't want something more action involved. I wanted my good old classic puzzle solving, zombie shooting RE damn it! But I was shocked. Despite all the changes it worked, quiet well to.

     

    1) SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2 (PS2) - Man, I had mixed feelings about the first. Once I finished, I realized DDS1 had maybe 2 hours worth of story. Those other 20 hours were spent dungeon crawling and fighting. I hate RPGs like that. Truly I do. Yet, I felt compelled to buy the second in the series because the echo of the first story was still in my head. Though it did not have a lot, it made me want to learn more. When I started playing the second, I got myself ready for another dungeon crawler, random encounter fest. Though the game kept the dungeon layouts much the same, and the encounter rate was as high as ever. The extra tid-bits of story they added into each dungeon, the short dialogues, really made the experience feel rewarding. The story was very well done. Joyful at some moments and incredibly sad at others. Some of the scenes were down right heartbreaking since the characters had developed such a personally, I actually felt that I knew them. Everything comes together perfectly. It's the only RPG i've felt that was truly finished this year.

    ok, quick question. got the game the other night, better than Capcom Fighting Evo. (jam) hands down.

     

    i look at the screenshots that are all over the internet by now, and these pictures are so clear. the graphics are bright, alive...something like garou motw. but i realized that the game itself on the ps2 looks nothing like it. it looks like an ordinary kof game that we all pretty much know how the graphics are in that game. ive yet to have played this game in the arcade, so my question is, is the arcade version as clear as those screenshots, or is it suppose to look all SNK pixelated as seen on the ps2? im just wonderin  :(

     

     

    It honestly depends on the character.

     

    Seriously. Some characters are done at a higher resolution then others. Hell some characters have sprites that change from low to high res. The newer characters tend to look more fluid and less pixelated.

    Thanks for the headsup I'll check it out

     

    I prefer the old p2p apps no worrying about ratios and waiting for seeds.

     

    I thought hubs were dying out apart from the private invite only ones.

     

     

    That's the reason I like torrents and HUBs better.

     

    You only get to download if you are willing to share... Which you should. People spend time seeding so you can get what you need, shouldn't the person who downloaded said object do the same?

    That was nice. Although I don't really like It's A Wonderful Life.

    It's a Wonderful Life just aired earlier today, like it has for god knows how many years. Is there a reason why you don't particularly like it?

    I do not know. I've never been able to finish the movie for some reason.

     

    I could never watch that movie from start to finish. I've watched it all... But spread out over 5 or so years. :P
