today I was looking at this page (ebaumsworld.com) and there’s this section of funny videos and stuff, but there’s this one video that lasts like 11 minutes and is about how a guy finishes super mario bros in 11 minutes… that shit is pretty toyt… it’s insane to say the least… if u have time or a fast connection go check it out coz it’s cool… if u have already seen it then nevermind
pen pen: after a brief discussion with marcus about my avatar, we considered the one where K’ is pointing at angel and angel’s sticking her tongue out to be pretty cool… i guess that one would be ok with a blue background and the vertical name like u had it in one of your first version, and thank you dude
Mike: precisely. What I don’t like is the movie whoring.
Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu is movie-free since its on GBA. I need to have a look at CC to see how its moviewhore-o-meter is, but if gameplay is similar to SD, that’s a good sign.
kanedito: ok…lol…guess i have to find the sprites agian…dont worry i know where to get them…:lol: and dont worry, the more i make avatars the better i become… and i kinda fucked up with the blue background i for got to add an effect to make it look like the second avy BG… ill get too it as soon as i can…also that vid you saw…i heard from scrubs that its fake…:lol: why would some one waste their lives cuting and pasting mario vids…meaning…whywould someone fake them beating it… shit all you really need is 2 whistles to get to world 8…of course you have to beat world 1 to get the P wing but if your cool youll take some time getting the 3rd whistle to be cool …and of course ppractice
marcus you seem to need a new avatar…
JOE… :lol: are you still alive… and your av…well its on my other pc which has 0 ram…:lol: so i have to make a new one… well if you still warm fromall that cold as shit in the north east…
man once i learn to JI with dizzy its over for random sol and random venom…not like i have trouble…but just need to practice on an arcade that wont fuck up… oh yeah…and random eddie:p
actually, i was talking as if there was just a movie, you would probably critize it just because of that, i’m pretty sure that the reason there are movies in games is to give you a better feeling to a game and have a better experience all together, the only thing is that the past FF games have sucked ever since 7, although 9 was’nt that bad.
And yes, FF7 probably the best FF, if FF7 is overrated, than so is FF6/3
Movies by themselves are not a bad thing. When used properly, they really can enhance the game experience, especially when they feel like part of the game (that’s why I usually prefer real-time rendering over FMV).
The main problem with movies, IMO, is that they are simply static. You cannot do anything when it happens, just sit and watch. The game stops being a game and becomes a movie. When it is done for a short period of time, you don’t get the feeling that you are just sitting in the couch and not really using the controller. And when it is done real-time, you may still can have certain degree of interaction (that’s why I consider the FF6’s opera scene to be memorable - it could all be done in a movie, but you still get to control Celes and Locke for several moments and you get to pick what happens next). But that is not the case of several games, which is a trend that IMO, started with FF7 (and that’s the why I groan when I hear of FF7). When you have movies that are 20 or 40 minutes long (Xenogears), I think there is a problem. And when the most memorable part of a game is a movie and not a part of the game itself, I think there is a big problem.
There is also another thing I don’t like about modern Final Fantasies - I think they have fallen into a cycle of looking for a game’s gimmick, which unfortunately can end up breaking the game. FF7’s case was materia, for example. This actually started with FF6’s espers, and that is actually my main gripe with FF6. The problem? Your characters lose their dependability after the game becomes all about the gimmick. The gimmick becomes so important that each character’s unique skills can become obsolete. In FF6, by the end of the game there is no reason to use Sabin’s Blitzes or Edgar’s techs or Cyan Swordtechs, since it was all about having everyone learn Ultima and add an economizer here and there. That’s what I miss of FF4 the most: losing a single character in that game could mean your doom, especially against Zeromus. You lose Rosa against Zeromus and there is no way you are going to win, since you lose life because of Black Hole and reviving anyone means another Black Hole, and the only way to survive it is to have full life -but it happens that your healer is out of commision-. You lose Rydia or Cecil and your offense is undermined a lot. For sure you don’t want to lose Behemoth. The only semi-disposable character in there is Edge, who cannot do much after throwing Excalibur and all the other top weapons you stop using before the crystal weapons.
This does not translate that the new FFs are particularly easier, but one thing is to make a game difficult because you need to manage five unique characters and another is to make the game difficult because of some cheap attack.
well the best scene that made you feel something about a character is the scene when aerith died…that im sure struck some of us with sadness…i know i feel like:(
and yeah jabel has one point i hate seeing all the FMV’s when only…and i say only…if you really really suck and died and had start over to watch it and really dont feel like watching it…but thats it… the game is a story, its like a book… you have to read or in this case view it all unless you wann amiss some of the points and feel of the game…and mike yes 9 was good… i feel that 7 and 9 were the only good ones up till now… 10 was shit x2 is just a case of shit… 8 fucken boring…and 5 and 6 seem good but i havent had the time to finish them…
im gonna stop before i join jabel in the writing contest:p
ok i for sure have the dvds and game with my wallet this time…
and TMNT was too easy wtf you tlaking about marcus…

Cesar: Dude, I have an idea. Since you are going to have my game alllllllllllllllllllll week, start playing in my file with your character.

If you dont want to start from our previous game, thats cool:D Imagine you never played at Demetrios
Lando: Dude, i wont go to the union until wednesday. I’m kind of busy in the mornings these days.
Guys, start creating a different guy in ffcc in another file so we all can play together. You can transfer your items to the new character to make your quest easier.
