I think the Sega Mega Drive is GENERALLY considered to be the best!


My rom collection begs to differ, and Povey C64 fo lyfe.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

I agree with you on DMC2 though - slow-as-fuck action, stupid amounts of backtracking, ridiculously easy bosses, turning Dante into a completely unfunny dickhead and a shit secondary character. They should've got the guys who did the first game in, or at least have made the second disc about Trish as opposed to that dumb bitch Lucia.


Yeah I remember reading about DMC3 being ridiculously difficult, that's why I didn't get it, haha! Although didn't they release a special easy edition? Which is quite hilarious.

Essentially, what happened was Capcom felt that American and European gamers were too badass so they bumoped the difficulty up a notch - the US and UK versions' Normal mode was the equivilant of the Jap version's Hard mode, etc. and some people crywanked over the retarded difficulty at first. Then Capcom did a special edition which readjusted the difficulty and had a bunch of new shit, the most notable being the option to play as Vergil... but it was REALLY badly done, essentially put in as an afterthought. If you haven't played it yet, then I strongly recommend doing so - only if you get the original version though. Fuck that easy shit, it's for pussies :lol:

I'm a pussy through and through when it comes to games I'm afraid, I just want to have a fun time running around, I don't want to play a game to get angry and feel like I want to throw my TV out the window!

:lol:

Just trekked through Kingdom Hearts 2 on Hard for the first time since I was 17 (hey, I like it - fuck off!) only to get to the end and realize that I've been using everyone's initial equipment since the start. I'm officially Jesus, but fucking HELL I forgot how bastarding annoying some of those bosses are!

Thinking of doing a run through another one of my old RPGs again after, anyone got a recommendation that's not Final Fantasy VII?

I never got round to getting Kingdom Hearts 2, but I bloody loved the first one!! What about Dragon Quest on the PS2? (I think it's number 8 in the series, 'The Journey of the Cursed King'). That's quite fun, although I bought it ages ago and gave up after around 6 or 7 hours, although I'd like to get back into it at some point. A bit silly, but quite nice. The Japanese go completely bonkers for Dragon Quest apparently.

Is that the one with the turd monsters?

KH is a bit mental but overall decent, a real odd mix of things.

Does this have to be console only because i could recommend some decent oldies for pc.

Right, so I started Final Fantasy 4 again. About 17 hours in, and I'd just like to say...


.... Fuck this shit. Fuck this game, fuck it right in the face. I completely forgot how goddamn merciless it is in some places - when I faced the Demon Wall I was nearly reduced to tears after having flashbacks of losing to that fucker about 200000 times when I was twelve. I'm grateful that when we (eventually) got FF4, we the the original 'hardtype' game, but fucking hell I understand why the japanese toned down the difficulty for the overseas release at first. This game is moe vicious than Faraz when someone's trying to snatch his KFC away.
