Title: Nowadays games.
Post by: Grandy on March 20, 2006, 08:33:47 PM

It's just me or they're getting just smaller and smaller and SMALLER?
 Back at the SNES era, there were games that, if not big, at least dificult enough so we wouldn't beat it so easly, as an example, Knights of the Round, playing with my cousin, in easy mode, we could never finish it, we now can, but only in the easy mode, and even so we have some dificulty and never both of us made it to the end, as I or he aways dies in the last level.
 Then we have RPGs. The main reason I got to RPGs, is because they're (or they were) long, and I wouldn't need to play another game so soon. Even now, 4 years after playing, I can't beat FF7 (I'm actually stuck, could you help me saying what I have to do after taking Red's gramps to where Aerith died?) or FF9 (What do I have to do after getting that boat?) nor Breath of Fire III or IV (I know what to do, but I can't beat the bosses.)
 Most of the games I got to beat, it was using Gameshark or walktroughs after I got bored of loosing and decided I seriously needed help. There are some, such as Star Wars: Jedi Battles, that I can't get past the second level, even is easy mode (yes, both me and my cousin suck that much ¬¬).

 Now, one day of these, I've decided to stop relying on others to get games, and picked one that semeed alright. It was the Ultimate Spiderman (tm) and it was a great game, in my opinion.... for the three hours it lasted.
 Yes, three hours, I beat the game, now what? The other's spiderman games back in PSone had secret outfits that gave you powers and you could restart the game with them.
 This one has outfits?
 Yes.
 They do anything?
 No.
 Can you restart the game with them?
 You wish.
 So, what can I do now?
 Well, you can fight those random thugs.
 What, like those I already did to unlock new levels, but got repetitive and I moved on?
 Yes.
 No, what else.
 You can race through town.
 Cool, with who?
 No one.
 What, alone?!
 Well, Human Torch sometimes race with you.
 Better, can my friend control him?
 What? No!
 Well, is he at least hard to race against?
 Not that much.
 *sigh* Anything else?
 Play as Venow.
 You got my attention, what can I do with him?
 Walk around and smash things.
 Yes, yes, and?
 And what?
 What else beside smash things?
 Well, you can smash MORE things!
 ...
 What?
 Sorry, I don't guess I'll be playing you again so soon.

 So yes, old games were not just longer, but there was MORE things to do.

Post by: smokey_locs2002 on March 20, 2006, 08:54:31 PM

Heh, try downloading some normal(what we call normal) japanese games. Newer games are getting shorter and easier.

If you want to play a hard old school rpg try out the first Alundra. That game will make you swear, curse, and use profanity like no other.

The only hard game I have played out of the newer ones would be Kingdom Hearts on expert mode.

Some RPGs(like Star Ocean Untill the end of time, Xenosaga, Deagon Quest 8) I beat witout getting killed once. Too easy.

Megaman 1, 100 times more difficult than megaman X 8

Post by: Grandy on March 20, 2006, 08:59:24 PM

Oh, yes, Alundra, I have it, and I completaly know what are you talking about, though I curse mostly because in most scenes we can't skip what they are talking and you talk too much! >.<

 I'm not talking about all games, though, MGS3 is something that I consider relativaly long, and has secrets enough to keep me playing more. As for KH, I only finished it in normal mode, and I swear I won't go to anything harder while I don't beat Sephiroth.

I know exactly what you mean. An example that sticks out in my mind right now is Mario and Luigi. The first one for the GBA was excellent in every way: involving battle system, memorable music, innovative gameplay and an endearing storyline. But best of all, it was nice and long. There was much time to be spent on it.

Now, there's the sequal Partners in Time. Well, before I get into the other stuff, I want to point out what this thread is all about. I've played a little over 12 hours total and I'm already at the final boss. I'm underleveled so I can't win, but come on... 12 HOURS!? I believe I spent at least double that on the first one. Besides, that everything was toned down. They could have reused the gameplay elements in cool new ways, but instead they used all dumbed down new ways. The music was nice, but not as good, and the battle system had somewhat less depth to it. Brothers items weren't as cool as brothers attacks. So in other words, yeah some games today are just downright disappointing.

To answer your questions about FF7 and 9. In FF7, I know where you are but I'm trying to think of what to do. I haven't played it in a while. Did you get that little key from underwater? Anyway, in FF9, could you maybe be more specific? I think you are talking about the Blue Narciss, so I'll go with that. I believe you are supposed to go to the Lost Continent, ya know the snowy one, but I kind of forget that too. If you really want to know there's always online guides.

Title:
Post by: Grandy on March 20, 2006, 09:56:10 PM

Well, in FF7, it's probaly the underwater key then. As in FF9, it's.. just after Dagger lost her voice. And I do think I have to go to the snowy continent, but everytime I go there I get an interessting and very cool nothingness that follows me around. I've talked to each and every NPC of the game. Twice. Didn't change a thing.

FF9... hmm... Its been a LONG while since I played that but I think you go to Lindblum and talk with cid first. Because the purpose of going to the snowy continent was to find Cids Wife. I dont know Its been a LONG while since I played that and from talking about it, I may play it again and beat it my 4th time :P.

K, I remember this and I know where you are now. :P You have to go to the snowy continent up north. Go thru the areas of that one city you see there (*You should've seen like a cut scene with Kuja walking by with all these Black mages.) Afterwards you reach a moogle (female) in the city and if I remember correctly you make a right at the moogle straight to the entrance of mount Gulug. (Which I think shows another cut scene with Kuja opening the door to mount Gulug.) NOTE: Remember to open all chests and whatnot there because that is the only time you go in.

Damn you peoplez. Now I want to play FF9 again. lol

Title:
Post by: Raen Ryong on March 20, 2006, 11:14:03 PM

Yes... FF9 shows its true difficulty if you try to fight Ozma... "try" being the key word most of the time _sweat_

KH Expert Mode isn't so bad... I find it a lot more fun than the normal game. Even small battles often become epic! Though Sephiroth is really tough in Expert... still not as bad as the Final Fantasy superbosses anyways!

Star Ocean Till the End of Time easy, hmm? I assume you're referring to the lower difficulty modes... you CANNOT refer to 4D mode as easy. All enemy stats x1.8, optional enemies x3? That's REALLY nasty! Besides, the optional dungeons are challenging enough on Galaxy Mode (the Normal Mode)... meh. I love the game anyways :D

Oh, and for FF7... there's not really much more to go after where you got stuck lol, unless you intend to challenge the might of the WEAPONs and finish the other sidequests (highly recommended)
The Key of the Ancients is located almost directly underneath the Forgotten City, btw. There's a recess in the underwater wall which leads to it somewhere near the Gold Saucer area... if I remember properly. DO NOT ENGAGE EMERALD WEAPON!

RPGs are getting easier on the whole though. For instance, if you compare the earlier FFs... FF1, 2, 4 and 5 (I haven't played 3) are much harder than 7, 8, 9, X or X-2. That said, the secret bosses are much easier in the older ones, but of course there are less sidequests.

Personally, I like my games to be fairly challenging with incredibly hard secret bosses (FFX's Dark Aeons are a VERY GOOD example) and a lot of sidequests. I like extra challenges :D

Title:
Post by: FFL2and3rocks on March 20, 2006, 11:26:38 PM

I love long games! *hugs Dragon Warrior VII*
That game took me 170 hours to beat the first time, and 120 the second time. @_@ Plus there's a ton of stuff to do even after you beat the game, and it's not a very easy game. A lot of the bosses really pissed me off. >_< Damn you, HellCloud!  :yell:  It's definately one of my favorites games ever.

 That's what's weird, I know there is that scene with Kuja and the BM's, 'cause I remember playing that far on the game before, but the scene just doesn't happens!

You probably already seen it before and saved the game. Did you try talking to other NPCs within the vincinity of that scene? I remember talking to someone and they had something valuable. Not sure if it was valuable info, or valuable weapons that's like a must get at the level. lol

Yes, and the doors are still closed... maybe I'm not at that point of the game yet...

The Sand palace is located somewhere on the forgotten continent with alot of sand NOTE: and I whirlwind also If I remember. I thought this up because Cid was also with you on the ship and Daggers voice was still on mute.

Post by: DragonBlaze on March 21, 2006, 12:32:27 AM

Dammit, I have to play FF9 again now because of you people. I replayed all the other FF's recently, that one was next on my list.

Honestly, I can't think of many games that were hard for me. I beat all the weapons if FF7, same for 8, my next goal is to kill that one tough dude in 9. The normal mode in SO3 was way too easy, I beat the final boss in that game in a few minutes, none of my chars really lost any life... I have to play that in the harder mode next time.

You know what a really hard rpg was? FF1, if you ever play the normal version of that game, its hard. You can hardly cure your  guys, and you fight a ton of monsters every two steps.

It seems that the newer games are shorter and easier now. I'm sure they're shorter because with all the advanced graphics and stuff the game takes longer to make, and the longer it takes to make a game, the more it costs. I think they're getting easier because of all the gamers out there that complain games are too hard :(

You know what game is REALLY hard. I of the Dragon. So you're a dragon and you fly around and blow up things and build towns and such (figures I'd play such a game). Anyway, you have to clear out areas to build a town otherwise it'd get demolished, so you clear everything out for everything in the area, you can't do the whole course because the enemy lairs regenerate after some time if there isnt a town around. Anyway, then when you do build a town, every monster on the map converges on the town and blows it up. Theres these little bug twerps that take away a third of your life per attack, well theres like 20 of them, and they shoot really fast. Then theres about 10 creeps that have a lot of life and poison you, then theres the other monsters that stay really far away and bombard the town before you can even build up its defences. Oh, then the last boss shot balls of fire at you that followed you around, 3 hits and you were dead. I bombarded it with my strongest attacks, not even a dent, plus he healed himself all the time. Finally after a couple of hours I got him half way dead, I said screw it and I built up a small wall of people as a distraction, then super charged my character for about 30 seconds, and just let it all out. All that for a crappy ending...

Post by: Grandy on March 21, 2006, 01:10:11 AM

I bought Dragon Quest (one of it), but didn't seem the kind of game I'd like. And I bet it would be way shorter if you had to press X to pick up things, not to open an meny where you can choose actions.

Actually Cid doesnt make his first airship until he becomes Human again (Sorry if that was a spoiler.) Remember Cid is still a Frog during the whole Kuja Sand Castle incident. He also stated to himself that he wont build another airship until he becomes human again because his frog body cant stand the hardship it takes to build one. Its possible to reach there by Brahne's ship. Stating exactly HOW to get there is another problem. (I forgot the directions lol)

Star Ocean was nnot hard at all. If you just train and never run from a fight then there's a high chance you'll always win.. That's why I loved Alundra. You can only train to a cetain point and once you reach that point you just have to use pure skills to kill a boss.

A long Tatic game would be

Tactic Ogre: Let us all cling together for Psone.
Very run detailed game. With different endings and such.
 Has anyone noticed that most of the games talked about on Charas are old school games? (new games blow)

Star Ocean till the end of time too me a good 100 hours to master the game on normal mode...Hard to beat no..Hard to beat the extras after you beat the game... Yeah!!!!

Took me a month to beat Lenneth from Valkier Profile on Sphere 211 after you beat the game... And I was max level for all my characters...

Then after that, Fraya, the final boss oh the extras...She has over 2 million hp and even with all the attack power I could get ..I could never beat her within 15 minutes as I get a battle trophie, but it took me a good hour each battle to take her out, plus it doesnt help with her evil Ether Strike that takes entire field and anyone under 5k defense dies..

Yeah that game was hard and did piss me off at times. Did you ever get Cloud on your team? I got him without looking up how to get him running around looking for extra characters and doing all the jobs and trying to learn every class.
If you didn't get him.. don't bother.. he's weak as hell he's not even worth training to get his final attack, Cherry Blossom, it's weak and sad.
Orlandu would own Cloud in a one on one. The final boss was a bit too easy but with members like Orlandu and Agrias on your team. You can't lose. The ending made me laugh.

It took me over a year to beat the original Final Fantasy Adventure. Sword of Mana, the gba remake? 2 weeks to get to the final boss, beat him the next day. The gameplay time was maybe 22 hours.

Video games used to be just for nerds, now everyone dabbles in the medium. Small games mean more efficient dabbling. So maybe that plays a part.
But yeah, it's probably over-compensating with graphics.
It's like what my mum used to tell my sister:
"It doesn't matter how sexy it looks.
If it can't keep up with you, it's not worth it."

Hah.

My family are HARCORE gamers. I think.

 That's, my friend, is because you have no strategy whatsoever.

 Tips:
  -Thiefs are quick, and that's about it, don't try to steal things in the middle of the battle. Kill everyone but one, use your magic to slow him down, and make a thief keep stealing him, it's far better.
 -Monks doesn't need any weapon. And most Monk magic doesn't work on another Monk.
 -When dealing with Holy Knights (Delita, Agrias, etc.) destroy thei'r swords, and they can't cast magic.
 -A great combo is casting Zombie with your Oracle and using Mustadio's Seal Evil
 

 There's really more things, but I'm not int he mood of writing. And some of those are pretty obvious.

 And I have an problem, it doesn't matter how much I try, I can't learn the final summoning.

Well not all the battles where hard.But some mostly Boss battles
where hard.Of then again I would turn it off if one of my guys died
(Counter went to zero) and I only had five men in the party. Becuase I didn't like to train all my men and keep them at the same level and all.Also I used Ninjas becuase there fast and use two weapons without the skill.Plus there so feaking coool!!

Another example would be Oddworld.

Oddworld: Abe's Odysee, the game is very entertaining and very addicting, it took me a month to beat it. Then, once you beat the game, you get the sudden urger to play it again and save every mudokon along the way. A great game.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, also very entertaining. However, too easy. It only took me four hours to beat it. There's nothing to save, just you going around collecting bounty, big whoop. too eaqsy.

Okay, I didn't have enough time to read the whole topic... it is possible that what I'll write has already been said...
The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the past. This is the Zelda game with the most dungeon. 3 pendants, 7 crystals, Hyrule Castle and Ganon Castle. 12 dungeons... how many dungeon does Majora's mask, Windwaker and Minish Cap have? I don't know, but I think it's below 8, wich is the number of dungeons most Zelda have. I hope Twilight Princess will have at least 8 dungeon...

I bought Tales of Legendia yesterday, and it's only estimated at 70 hours. Its the graphics, and sound takin up too much space. With lesser graphics, they could fit more game play. Another thing is, the quicker they can finish the game, the more money it can make over time.

Ahem, Metal Gear Solid without voices? God of War without voices? Resident ****ing Evil without ****ing voices!? But I can agree on games like Crash Bandicoot, RPGs, Spyro, racing games and sport games.

FFT was really cool. Gafgarion fights you, so before he leaves turn him into a priest and give him arse equipment. Funny stuff. Ramza got a critical and killed him in two hits. But yeah, games are shortening like Crisco. But we're not tasting delicious sweet chocolate chip cookies. No no no. We're tasting a turd. A turd named ADD. Games are generally geared towards kids. Kids these days have waaay shorter attention spans. I was talking to my nephew about Shadow of the Colossus.

Godfather also looks good.

It seems kinda corny. I never liked the "organized crime" games. And hated movies about it.

Spyro the dragon is a waste of life*. I feel embarrassed when I see someone play it, let alone if I were to play it myself.


*waste of life includes but is not limited to theirs for making it, you for playing it, me for ranting about it...

Yeah, Spyro was a bad game... A really good dragon game is Dragon Rage for the NES, its uber hard, though not that long. Then there is Dragon Rage for the ps2, Drakkan, and I of the Dragon. But yeah, stay away from Spyro. The game's EVIL!!!

Man, I hope TES4 is good, but I don't really see how it'll differ much from Morrowind. Thats coming out for the xbox 360, is there a computer version of it coming out ever?

Drakkan reminded me of Drakengard. Which, if you've ever played it, is pretty awful. Repetitive button mashing gameplay, the music repeats after 5 seconds (no, seriously, I'm not lying. It really is this bad). It can induce headaches pretty well.




Also, what games are we all looking forward to this year?
I want Twilight Princess, [GLOW]ZOMGSPORE[/GLOW], Unreal Tournament 2007... that's about it. Pretty bad, considering it's a new year filled with new consoles and what not.

Yes, there's a computer version. It can be modded greatly, and my Blue-light computer has just the right specs for the game.

As for how much it might differ; the story is different, there are new features, such as the ability to throw tomatoes at people, toss dead people down stairs, and the ability to do ridiculous spinning attacks with your sword.

Rest assured, I expect to find all these features capable to be done in TESIV... OR ELSE...

Super Metroid.  Its long, has replay value thats 20x any other game (imo) and has nice graphics for being an old Snes game.
One of the best games ever, also for the hardcore players there are some hacked versions to make you utilize more difficult techniques like infinite bomb jumps, intense walljumping and everything that makes the game so fun :)
If anyone wants em I can get the link. Not to emulators/roms for them tho.

Actually, the magazine that I go by (which is far more awesome then a bunch of Japanese guys) gave it a 90/100, earning it their Big Rubber Stamp award. Best magazine ever, completely not biased. Except against games that suck.

Anyway, they said one of the issues with the game is that it doesn't have a large amount of different cars.
