THE BORE

Since we're apparently heading into the next gen across the board with all 2 systems and the Wii coming out after this weekend, I figured it would be a nice time to look back and think about what games we all enjoyed this past gen, which I will remember as a pretty fun time to be a gamer.
Most Favoritest Action Game
(http://www.ps2vicio.com/Wallpapers/Devil_May_Cry_3//devil_may_cry_3_rigell_005.jpg)
Freaking awesome demon slaying action with shit tons of different weapons, fighting styles, guns and shit. Oh, and it was hard, too, which this gen was a freaking rarity for the most part. I'm getting a boner thinking about it.
Mention of Honorableness

OMG NINJAS! One of the better xbox games is also one of the better games of the past gen, period. DMC3 just seems a little bit deeper, but Itagaki still make me moist with action gamer horniness.
Most Favoritest RPG
(http://students.thiel.edu/acosentino/images/bof5.jpg)
The fact that this game wasn't commercially successful is the greatest indictment on modern gamer's tastes, imo. This game had kick ass combat, cool new mechanics and steep difficulty. Of course, it was an rpg, so instead of fans lining up to worship at the feet of this dev team, they whined to the extent that the devs apologized. WTF total.
Mention of Honorableness
(http://www.the-nextlevel.com/previews/xbox/star_wars_knights_old_republic/star_wars_knights_old_republic_3.jpg)
This was a better representation of Star Wars than all 3 prequels put together and covered in jizz, even demi's jizz. It was also another representation of everything that was right in rpgs, but this one got bought and won shit tons of awards, deservedly. The light/dark force shifts, the open endedness, the fun combat, the force powers all went into this recipe of awesomeness. It also had the best character in all of videogaming history, HK-47.
Most Favoritest Fighting Game
(http://itpro.no/images/omtaler/Spill/virtua42.jpg)
If you try and argue this, you are a tard. VP4 Evo is not just my personal FAVORITE fighting game, it's the BEST fighting game of the past gen, unequivocally. In fact, it's so good I'm not gonna make a mention of honorableness in this category.
Most Favoritest Driving Type Game
(http://ps2media.gamespy.com/ps2/image/article/527/527407/burnout-3-takedown-20040630105646998.jpg)
OMG sparks! Sorry sim wankers, I like FUN driving games. And Burnout 3 was the most fun driving game of the past gen. Lots of fun modes, including the hands down BEST multiplayer drunken fun, crash mode. "Dude, dude, try to beat my score! It's legal to drink and drive!"
I didn't really like any other driving games not named Burnout, so no mention of honorableness from me.
Most Favoritest Puzzle-esque Game
(http://www.crunkgames.com/reviews/ps2/katamari/media/kata102.jpg)
Just fun addictive stuff here, which is what this genre is all about. Awesome music, too. Not much more to say; I mean who can't love the idea behind this game?
Mention of Honorableness
(http://www.the-nextlevel.com/reviews/handheld/warioware_mega_microgames/warioware_mega_microgames_6.jpg)
Even my black, Nintendo hating heart was melted by the wacky fun of Wario Ware.
Worstest (non)Game of All-time Ever of the Gen
(http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/english/festival/sakuhin/sakuhin/images/ent_02_dogs_l.jpg)
Why, Nintendo? Why?
Anyways, what do you whores think?
-
Zelda: TP. All categories.
-
Zelda: TP. All categories.
Can someone please do something? The joke characters are getting a little out of hand.
-
SOTC, RE4, KOTOR, Half Life 2
This gen sucked for me. I didn't play much.
-
Zelda: TP. All categories.

Chill, dawg. 8)
Zelda: TP will most likely be best adventure game. If it bothers you THAT much, then we won't make it eligible for best racer okay? :-*
-
Ninja Gaiden Black > Any DMC game.
And while VF is very good and full of awesome, I prefer Soul Calibur 2/3 ftw.
Also Burnout does indeed spank any other car driving/racing game.\
And nintendogs sucks.

OMFG am nintenho I am going to internet punch you in the junk.
SSBM IS NOT A FUCKING FIGHTING GAME NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LIKE IT
It's more of a party game.
-
UH YEAH IT IS :lol
Gamefaqs:
Genre: Action > Fighting > 3D
Gamerankings:
The world's first four-player fighter returns with all-new fighting modes!
Wikipedia:
Genre: Fighting
In conclusion, SSMB IS a fighting game no matter how much you dont think it is.
-
I WILL FIGHT ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT SSBM IS A FIGHTING GAME JESUS FUCKSTICK
-
How is it hard to see its fighting game?
Its not a party game foremost.
-
OMFG am nintenho I am going to internet punch you in the junk.
(http://content.imagesocket.com/images/11430010ba5.jpg)
If that's a game console than SSBM's a fighting game.
-
fuck yourself dickbreath
if SSMB isn't a fighting game, what is it?
it's not my fucking favorite game but you're just being a douche because of your anti-Ninty bias.
-
Who has the anti-nintendo bias?
SSBM kicked all sorts of ass.
-
Triumph or der weineschnitzl, whatever the fuck his name is
-
RE4
Metroid Prime
Killer 7
F-Zero GX
-
Who has the anti-nintendo bias?
SSBM kicked all sorts of ass.
It's more that Nintendo has an anti-Triumph bias. :(
And SSBM was a fun little diversion, but in no way approaches the deepness of VF4.
-
get the nfags outta here, they haven't played shit
triumph you have rocksolid taste my man, vf4 evo 4 life
-
okay so they're BOTH fighting games. uh? am i missing something?
"yeah nintendo sux lolz amirite guys"
just so I can weigh in. my favorite fighting game is PHANTOM FUCKING DUST
-
:hyper :hyper :hyper
-
get the nfags outta here, they haven't played shit
Right we played good games....
-
SO people who like more traditional fighting games like VF are afraid of having SSB grouped into their favorite genre?
Give me a fucking break, I loved VF4 and Soul Caliber 2/3,and Guilty Gears is damn near my favorite fighting series. But regardless, SSMB kicked ass.
Also heres the party game definition:
Party games are video games developed specifically for multiplayer games between many players. Normally, party games have a variety of different types of mini-games that range between collecting more of a certain item than other players or having the fastest time at something. Versus multiplayer games are not generally considered to be party games. Popular party games include the Mario Party series, Super Monkey Ball, Wario Ware, and Fuzion Frenzy.
-
Best games for last gen?
STREET FIGHTER 3 THIRD STRIKE
Yeah, I've been playing this game almost daily for almost what, 6 years now? It's still awesome.
Runners up:
VF4 Evo
Outrun 2
Ninja Gaiden/Black
Resident Evil 4
Silent Hill 2
Viewtiful Joe
-
The fighting game argument can be easily solved by splitting it into 2D and 3D categories. :) Also VF4 Evolution isn't as good as VF4 Final Tuned, but I know most of you haven't played that.
Also Triumph, the DS is part of the "next gen." GBA was this gen, IMO.

This is dumb, that's for sure. Smash Bros. IS a fighting game. You can change it to "multiplayer fighter" or "party fighter" if you want to, but regardless, it IS a fighting game. :P

To satisfy Triumph
BEST PARTY GAME
SSBM
(http://www.gatecon.com/_images/articles/204.jpg)
Yea, I think of it as a fighting game too. Of course, it's nothing like a VF or SC, but it's fucking awesome nonetheless. Probably my game of the generation.
BEST FIGHTING GAME
SOUL CALIBUR
(http://www.lofi-gaming.org.uk/museum/games/scans/493.jpg)
I have actually never played a Virtua Fighter in my life, so maybe my opinion is biased. I just know that this game completely rocked my world when it came out. Being 13 at the time, I couldn't believe how massive of a step the game was. It utterly destroyed everything that preceded it. Every one of my friends that played it loved it
BEST ACTION/ADVENTURE GAME
METROID PRIME
(http://www.mortens1.no/Images/The%20Game%20Cube/Metroid%20Prime%20overskrift.jpg)
It brought Metroid into 3D perfectly. Fuck everyone that will commence hating now.
BEST RACING GAME
F-ZERO GX
(http://www.armchairempire.com/images/Reviews/gamecube/f-zero-gx/f-zero-gx-4.jpg)
So hard, but so perfect. Never before have I tried so hard to complete a game fully. Fastest game on the planet.
RUNNER-UP
BURNOUT 3
(http://www.peliplaneetta.net/images/news/4908/b_4.jpg)
I'm bothering to do a runner-up because I love this series and 3 was the pinnacle. I'm not going to repeat with Triumph said. He knows what's up.
BEST PUZZLE GAME
Katamari Damacy
(http://www.crunkgames.com/reviews/ps2/katamari/media/kata102.jpg)
Yea, it rocks. Done.
BEST SPORTS GAME
Virtua Tennis
(http://www.gamerevolution.com/oldsite/previews/screens/virtua_tennis/tennis2b.jpg)
Like Soul Calibur, everyone that played this loved it. Dreamcast was hooked up into 2003 only because of this game and Soul Calibur.
I'll edit this later as I am going to see CASINO ROYALE

Wow, 30 replies and no one said ICO. That's for the best.

Best Game: Guitar Hero 1/2. If you're under 50 and not a christian fundamentalist you probably love this game. Between easy and expert it has accessibility and difficulty and is extremely addictive. For the past year or so it has been played at the local Best Buy almost constantly and usually with a small crowd.
Best Action Game: Halo. It's probably the first single player FPS I've loved since Doom 2. I bought my Xbox for Rallisport Challenge but Halo is the reason I kept it (the only one, really).
Best Driving / Racing Game: Gran Turismo 4. I've spent 4 hours getting a gold license on a two minute per lap rally race before. It's the best console racing sim and the one with the most tracks/cars.
Best Strategy Game: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I hate NoA for leaving out the maniac mode as the game was too easy on hard but it was addictive and satisfying. Battles are epic (some take a couple hours near the end) and players aren't burdened by ridiculous amounts of customization. So, perfect for me.
Best RPG: WoW. Not a console game but fuck you, that game is crack.
-
Wow, 30 replies and no one said ICO. That's for the best.
yeah, ICO sucked.
-
nobody well-adjusted liked ICO.
-
ICO is alright. Nothing great.
-
I still have never opened ICO. Still in cellophane.
GTA:VC is my favorite game of this generation. It's what got me back into gaming after a 3 year hiatus.
ELL OOO ELLL at poor Juice. Metroid Prime?!
-
what's wrong with MP? It's pretty good. :-\
-
METROID PRIME LOL 1998 CONTROLS, WHAT IS THIS GOLDENEYE!?
/whiteman
-
Metroid Prime has crap thumb-torquing controls, stupid scanning, inane visor switching, bland backtracking, and is overall really lacking in any sort of punch. BORING.
-
Agreed, rented, returned, never looked back.
-
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Metroid Prime
Resident Evil 4
Ico
Wind Waker
And yes, SSBM is a fighting game.

You are dead to me.

Metal Gear Solid 2

I did hate Prime 2, though. :(
Actually, this has caused me to do some introspection...I might have to change it to GTA3, even though I played it mostly on the PC. I haven't played SA yet though.
-
In Metroid Prime you have to time everything about how long it takes to move around the environment, different weapon characterisitics, enemy characteristics, and very occasionally you'll have to switch visors if you don't instantly know what to do after a few shots/steps. Metroid Prime depends on memorizing and analyzing at the fucking same time RPG fegs.

Don't hate till you try it, vastly improved in some areas over Earthbound, this gba sequel kicks all sorts of ass.
And the music is fucking amazing for a GBA game. Have a listen to the first boss battle music here:
http://www.xeroseven.net/bossbattle1.mp3 Reminds me of ff7 in some areas, music wise. They kinda went with darker, sadder soundtrack overall, this time around.
