Me and a few friends started playing Haunted Ground last year but have not continued it yet but is a good horror survivol game. Its kinda creepy when that retarede groundskeeper/cheef comes after you screaming "My Darling". so yeah defently a game worht getting for the ps2.
i never own donkey kong country 2 and 3 back in the 90s but did rent the heck out of them. and times flies by and summer 2014, i was at the flea market looking for anything good when i found DKC2 and 3 for $15 each. my dad adviced me not to get them saying I could find them cheaper at amazon or ebay. i informed him that he wasn't right. these are the cheapest i've seen of these games in a long time. i bought them and when we got home, i showed him the prices at amazon and ebay and said "oh wow, your were right. i just wanted to help out on saving money." good man just wanting to help out his son. that's when i starting teaching him of the game industry works and stuff. particularly retro stuff. this came to my thought when my cousin yesterday found 5 gameboy games in her attic: Metroid 2, super mario land 2, wario land, killer instinct and tetris. she was hoping on getting $200 for the games on ebay since she saw how much old games go for. had to break it to her those games at not the gold mine she thought they would be and how retro games and game industry work. i saw the disappointment in her face but i offered $50 for all 5 games. she then offered me the ps2 slim and 13 games her kids don't play anymore. told her to hold them unil this weekend.
6 and 8 are my favorites, but I loved pretty much each FF before 11. I liked 12 a lot as well and wish it would get the HD treatment that part 10 has been given twice now. The thing about the Final Fantasy games was that they gave me exactly what I wanted for my age. The 90s were my teenage years, and yes, I loved the combination of fantasy and technology, the giant weapons, the brooding characters and I was really getting into music so I adored Nobuo Uematsu's soundtracks. I felt 12 actually was more mature and it fit my own gaming tastes for the time. FF13 had a good soundtrack and the visuals were great but the story and linear world left me disappointed. Anyways, I really did love Final Fantasy 7, but if you were like me and played 4 and 6 before it, it came up a little short. FF6 had a larger cast of characters and a lot of them could have been a main character in their own game. Sabin, Edgar, Cyan, Locke, Celes, Setzer, General Leo, Shadow and Terra were all given enough story to make you wish your party could have more than 4 at any given time. FF7 was still great, IMO, but the more advance tech didn't make it better than FF6.
the thing i like the most about FF are the summons. summoning awesome looking monsters to atta your enemies? mindblowing!!! Ifrit! HELLFIRE! Alexander! HOLY JUDGEMENT! No. 666! here it comes! THE DOOMTRAIN MUTHAF***AAAAAAAAAA!!! Bahamut! IMMA FIRIN MY LASER BBLLLAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
6 is one of my top 3 games ever. The exact rank varies depending on my mood. The other two would be Dracula X PCE and Street Fighter 2.
Haha. As for all time games Atari Star Wars (Arcade) is number one, followed closely by Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
Finished my Gamecube collection. Love the Japanese orange. Why it wasn't released in N.A. is beyond me (at least the controller was).
Every time I walked into an arcade when I was young, Star Wars was the first game I looked for. There was a Chuck E Cheese in Burbank that had the sit down version. Must have spent $50 on that machine.
I had NOTHING against the setting of FF7 and FF8, but I do think FF9 was a nice breath of fresh air in terms of just being a great fantasy setting. I don't think it had the best story, but it just had a nice feeling with a fun atmosphere. I wasn't totally on board with the art style for the characters in game (they were great in the Amano artwork), but the environments are some of the best the series ever offered.
Yeah, there is an Arcade that is open weekends in Phoenix with a Cockpit version (I LOVE that version) and I had all of the High Scores the last time I was there. I will eventually build a yoke controller for emulating it on my PC as the game is EXPENSIVE to get these days. Yeah, I love 7, 8 was OK, but I honestly prefer the old school look and feel. I would LOVE for Square to do one along the lines of this again like the newish 4 side story.
