    Your Favourite Lady in Gaming

    Princess Minerva from Fire Emblem. She manages to be the very opposite of what one expects of a princess while at the same time not provoking a sexist argument (i.e. she's tasteful). She's an interesting character and strong leader with probably one of my favorite character designs (and it isn't...

    What is You Favorite Quote from Any Video Game?

    Most of my favorites are listed here. All the other quotes I enjoy are from videogames based on tv-shows/movies, so they technically count as tv/movie quotes, not videogame quotes.

    Least Favorite Zelda Game

    So to the two people who voted for AoL... Care to explain your choices? I feel like the only person who appreciates the game, so it'd be nice to see a rationalization for all the hate the game gets.

    Least Favorite Zelda Game

    Now there are a couple Zelda games I really don't like, but the one I absolutely abhor is Phantom Hourglass. I find the graphics and sound are less than appealing. While many might know me as someone who values gameplay and writing over such aesthetics, I've discovered that games can have...

    What Remakes Do You Want?

    I'm generally not a fan of remakes. I think they make pretty cool novelty games, but they're not what I usually would ask for from a company. That aside, I want an aLttP remake on the 3DS, done in about the same way Final Fantasy IV was remade for the DS. There should also be some inclusion of...

    Favorite Animes

    Well here's what I can think of off the top of my head (in order of most recommended to least): -Zatch Bell! -Accel World -A Certain Scientific Railgun -Angel Beats! -Stigma of the Wind -Shakugan no Shana -Black Rock Shooter -Puella Magic Madoka Magica -A Certain Magical Index -Chuunibyou Demo...

    Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones

    I do not understand this logic and require further elaboration. Whether or not a game is easy doesn't matter to me, I only care if the game has depth. In the early levels, strategies were straight-forward and there usually weren't too many to choose from, but as you went on, strategies became...

    Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones

    Fire Emblem 11 was the first Fire Emblem game I actually bought (before then I had downloaded FE2, FE3, and FE6. As a side note, please refrain from launching into discussions about the legality of this activity.) I'll be honest, it's not quite as good as the original (in part due to the fact...

    Saddest Games (so Far)

    For me, I've had a couple games that I got sad from playing. The one game I thought that was particularly striking was Cave Story when But then I found out you could avoid all that by way of some secret that leads to a 'best ending'. Still, I thought that part was pretty sad when I got to it.

    Nintendo Relies Way Too Much on Zelda and Mario

    I think what you mean by "Zelda and Mario" is "first-party titles from classic franchises". I will admit, you are kinda right. But what about the WiiWare and DSiWare services? Nintendo pretty much keeps its titles (save for the virtual console) out of those two, so there's a lot of room for 3rd...

    People Who Can Transcribe Music By Ear Needed

    I'm part of a really small cover band. We play a lot of songs that generally don't have available sheet music/tabs available for each individual part of the song. Now of course we do have some skill in transcribing, but not with power metal. And that's where I need you guys. If anyone here has...

    Which FF Game Should I Rent?

    The first 9 are excellent games. I haven't played X, XI, or XIV, but I have played XII and XIII, and personally I don't prefer them (XII was awful, XIII was average at best.) I don't recommend the spin-offs, except for Tactics, which is actually very good for a strategy game. I should note that...

    Dungeons and Dragons

    I love Dungeons and Dragons. I play VERY unorthodox 4th edition campaigns with my friends on Saturdays, usually in a very cinematic fashion. This is the main character I use: Eversor Magnus, a corrupted warlock/psion who has mastered the use of greatswords and greataxes. While in Venice, he...

    You as the opposite sex

    Like Cel-Shaded Deku, I wouldn't be very much different, only in hair-length, chest-size, and genitalia. I wonder what her name would be... If I ever met myself as a female, we'd probably... just hang out together. Play videogames, guitar, piano, hang out with friends... I guess my female...

    Games That Are Like Zelda.

    I recommend the Castlevania series, Neutopia, the Ys series, Brain Lord, and Soul Blazer. Castlevania, if you haven't heard of it, is a platforming adventure game about a family of vampire slayers, the Belmonts, and Vlad Tepes Dracula along with the rest of his incarnations. Neutopia is a...

    Would You Like to See Final Fantasy 5, 6 or 7 Remake on the 3DS

    There are two ways I want to see VI remade: 1. Dissidia models instead of sprites. I'd love to see a little more detail in what happens (like showing the actual stabbing when ) using 3D models. 2. A diorama-ish set-up. Keep the original game, but make the mode 7 stuff 3d. Make it look like...

    Earthbound/Mother

    Earthbound is a lot of fun just because of how goofy it is. Yeah, sure, I love all (er, most) JRPGs no matter what, but this one stands out because of its goofiness. It throws in pop culture jokes, plays the story out in a setting that no other RPGs have EVER done, and had some pretty awesome...

    Top Three Most Underrated Games

    Zelda II- When I see this downrated by someone and see the same guy praising Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior, my hypocrisy alarm goes off. This game is part of a genre that I wish was more common; Sidescrolling RPG. It's got roughly the same core mechanics as RPGs: wander around the world map...

    What Are the Top 3 Most Overrated Games of All Time?

    I find that even though FPS' have their share of flaws, it's not the games I hate; it's the fanbases I hate, because of how childish they are. Really, I had fun with Halo Reach, but the online sucks because all I hear are vulgarities and threats. That's the only reason I'd bash FPS', and since...

    What Are the Top 3 Most Overrated Games of All Time?

    Final Fantasy VII- I loved this game, but I hate how people are always either bashing it or calling it the best game ever made. It's a great game, but I'm just tired of seeing "Final Fantasy VII is the greatest game ever" on every review of it. Double Dragon- A lot of people call this an awesome...

    Game Recommendations for SNES/GBA

    Brain Lord was pretty good, as well as Enix's other games ActRaiser and SoulBlazer. Apart from that, avoid Enix's games. SNES: Final Fantasy II (IV), Final Fantasy III (VI), Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Breath of Fire, Lufia, and Earthbound. GBA (I'm also going to include regular GB...

    Final Fantasy 7 Remake for 3DS?

    I heard that the creator of the Japanese only "Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis" wants to port it to the 3DS, but that's a mere rumor from what I can tell. Anyway, this is highly unlikely to happen, but I love the game. I'd appreciate it if they added a few FMVs with Vincent and Yuffie, since...

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    What is the Hardest Modern Game You've Ever Played?

    That's a tie between two of the most infamous Wii games ever: Anubis II and Ninja Bread Man. They're the main reasons I NEVER buy impulsively nowadays. The controls make the games virtually unplayable. Jumping is like trying to get a cow to swim across the Atlantic ocean; whenever I thrust my...

    GameCube VS Wii

    I think the Gamecube is superior. While I'd love to get in to the techie details, I think I'll keep it short. I don't hate motion controls, but I try to avoid them because they don't feel nearly as immersive as traditional controllers. Personal preference. With the Gamecube, I don't have to use...

    Adventure of Link Why the Hell is Zelda 2 So Hard?!

    Zelda 2's my 2nd favorite Zelda game, and I've gotten used to seeing people deem it as "too hard". It's a good game, it really is. Grind your levels up in the forests first, then once you've gotten the hang of basic combat, it'll be MUCH easier to progress.

    'Golden Age of Gaming'

    I prefer the 90s. The SNES was the last console where Nintendo was making good decisions. Konami, Squaresoft, Enix, Capcom, and Nintendo itself were the greatest publishers on the good ol' SNES in my opinion. Such classics as Super Castlevania IV, Prince of Persia, the Final Fantasies, Chrono...

    Sin & Punishment: Star Successor- Not exactly a starworthy successor to the original, but certainly worth a buy for TPS fans. Chrono Trigger- Where have I been while this was out? Excellent JRPG. Final Fantasy IV- Great game, though not quite as good as several other Final Fantasies Neutopia- An...

    The Maga Man Games-a Question About Them

    Let me keep this short (because I'll end up going on forever): It's obvious that you are new to the series, so I'd recommend 2 for the NES and 10 for WiiWare/PSN/XBox Live. They are easy and they'll help you get off to a good start with the series.

    Spoiler James McCloud's Faith

    I believe you mean "fate" not "faith". I voted Ghost. In StarFox 64, if you are on the Best Ending path, Fox is led by a translucent arwing presumably piloted by James McCloud (since he's the only other guy talking.) Translucency is usually used to refer to spirits and whatnot, so that's where...

    People Making Fun of You for Playing Certain Games.

    I'm often mocked because I play old games and old-ish games, but I'll give you two guesses why I am made fun of for playing them. One of them oughta be obvious; graphics. Where I live, 90% of the gamers will make poor judgments on games based purely upon the quality of graphics in screenshots...

    What Are the Dragon Quest (NES) Games Really Worth?

    Those prices are very reasonable actually. the first game's a bit shallow, so $10 is a good price. The second one's WAY more expansive, and $20 is an excellent price to go with. The 3rd installment is just awesome, and $40 is only half of what it's worth. The fourth game's enjoyable, but the...

    Graphics

    With regards to the general discussion of graphics, I believe effects (such as the warping effect used for Giygas' animation) are important, as they can help basic graphic engines set moods and tones far better than without. Another example of this was in Final Fantasy VI, when the airship was...

    Graphics

    Pardon me, but Earthbound's graphics aren't crap. The battle backgrounds are actually very nicely made, since they have a cool "kaleidoscope" effect. Also, I'm pretty sure the Giygas animations are considerably well-animated; it wasn't every day that you saw that magnitude of image warping on...

    What Changes to the Series Would Ruin Zelda for You?

    The only way to 'ruin' Zelda for me is to make it have a crossover that isn't a fighting game. What I mean to say is that if there was Pokemon Triforce Version or Assassin's Creed: Zelda Edition, I'd be one of the people who thought Nintendo lost their marbles. I wouldn't mind a modern Zelda...

    Super Mario 3DS: FLUDD or No FLUDD?

    I don't really care for FLUDD. Yet I do not hate him. I wouldn't care if he was in the game or not. I share no desire for him, but at the same time I share no disdain. Because of my neutrality, I cannot vote on the poll.

    Official Minecraft Thread

    I can get on, but the game slows WAY down near Reichburg, meaning respawning is a large problem for me. I think it may be the excessive amount of human characters and zombie pigmen, but it's Zenox's castle, so he can do whatever he wants in there.

    Franchise with Best Music in Brawl. Version 2.0

    I voted SSB series. Melee's soundtrack is far superior to Brawl's, IMHO. I'm glad Nintendo made the decision to include most of the Melee soundtrack in there, but they missed Fourside, which was one of my favorites. I'll list a couple of my favorites that they DIDN'T forget: Fire Emblem...

    Favorite Brawl Character?

    During the rare case in that I'd be playing Super Smash Bros Brawl, I tend to play as Samus, Snake, Ness, Mario, and Marth. Samus has some nice projectiles and jumping height, making her a great candidate for hit & run tactics. Snake is a great power-house, wielding C4, grenades, timed...
