This game is so ridiculous. I would have continued but the game kept crashing so damn much. One of my favorite shows is twin peaks and its clear where the game got its inspiration from.

If you have yet to play Super Metroid, and refuse to because of some reason or another, than please watch this video and then GO PLAY THE GAME!

phpBB [video]


I truly believe Super Metroid to be the best game ever created, period. But regardless of that, the reason I'm so adamant about people playing the game, is because I heard talk around here of people writing off Metroid (in general) because they played Prime (or something) and didn't like it. Prime sucks and it should not influence your opinion on Super Metroid at all. Go play Super Metroid and be happy! I just want you to be happy!

Speaking of RE I had no idea there ever was a GBA port of RE2 under development. :-o

Amazing graphics for GBA. On it's tiny 2" screen the lack of detail in Leon probably would have appeared even better. That's almost PS1 level of graphics. :shock: Here's a system that couldn't handle SNES games without watering down the audio. Though I see why it never got released. I can't possibly see how they would have fit a whole game of that on a single GBA Cartridge. All the vocals alone would have led to a huge file size. Granted, this is the company that fit two discs of Playstation FMV onto one N64 cart. So who knows. That's what you call compression wizardry.

Hot Girl I've Been Talking To: Do you have a PlayStation?

Me: Yeah.

Hot Girl: Give me your name and I'll add you.

Me: Sure.

Hot Girl: We can play Call of Duty together!

Me: NOOOOOOOO!

I thought that there is only a dearth of current Call Of Duty players still life-living. Is this endemic still going on?

GBA tech was truly impressive. Check out its 3D capabilities in this Metal Gear Solid hangar demo:

Snake's response towards Cécile near the end of this video had me laughing so hard. It's perfect. I've been replaying Peace-Walker recently and have been having a really good time, although the game is still very easy. Co-op is so much fun though, really wish they would have added Co-op in MGSV.

Just played my copy of Dark Souls 2 for the first time today and it impressed me way more than I thought it would. Looking forward to completing it in the near future as I'm pretty good at Dark Souls. Forget the online features lol thats going to f the hardcore single player experience.

:lol:
Yeah, definitely can't imagine that fitting in with the tone of MGSV, but it works for the earlier games. Gotta replay PW one of these days. Played the first mission or two about a week ago and it was laughably easy, but I'd like to go through it again anyway.

Trying to avoid spoilers or do you just not like the games? Because if you don't want any spoilers, I'll be sure to tag if necessary, but if you just don't like the games, then yeah, you're being a bit of a grump.
