This Country Pisses me Off Sometimes!

[SLADE775]

With a game like Dragon Quest 8 in existence people actually have the nerve to tell me that Madden 2006 is the game of the year. Ha!

That's a good one guys.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Welcome to America!

THOUGH! I'd much rather play Madden due to the fact I don't have the time to play an RPG that takes 100 hours of play time to beat.

haha wait a minute...i dont know dragon quest 8 anymore than you ranting about it on here, but how much more thinking do you have to do to play it vs. the amount of thinking needed to play madden?

[Mercy Medical]

Ya know Slade, people do have their own opinions on things. lol

I apologize for the ranting, but I love this game. Truly.

My Fiancee' thinks I'm obsessed. hahaha

[Mercy Medical]

Why yes, yes I am. I am a complete nerd, you should know this by now.

[SLADE775]

What was your favorite gme of 2005?

Cause DQ8 is not only my favorite game of the year, it's my favorite game of all time.

And I've probably played through more games than anyone on this site.

[lostntheseethru]

I'm truly a nerd because I mainly play RPGs, but I'm also a big fan of FPS. Hmmm, favorite game of 2005? I really don't know because I don't buy a ton of games and I don't even remember when stuff actually came out.

My favorite games of all time, however, are World of Warcraft (SOOOO addicted to that game right now, definately worth the $15 a mont), The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (honestly one of the best RPGs ever, there is so much gameplay time, it practically never ends), and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (for some reason I got way more into this FPS then I ever did Counterstrike).

What I'm looking forward to for 2006 is The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (if you haven't seen the screenshots for this game, please do. It's fuckin' AMAZING!) and I think there's an expansion for WoW coming out sometime as well.

[SLADE775]

Well that's cool.

You fit in to the "other" catagory then, like me and many others but sadly the vast majority of people playing games are mindless idiots.

[Mercy Medical]

Haha, what exactly defines the "other" category? I play all my games on PC by the way, not a fan of consoles really.

[SLADE775]

that's fine

Console Gaming and PC gaming are Closer in relation than ever before so....

The "other" catagory is just people who enjoy deep games.

Ah...

Well, if you're a fan of RPG's I highly suggest you check out The Elder Scrolls series. If you want it for PC they have Morrowind and the two expansions for sale for $20 total. They have it for Xbox too, I think.

[lostntheseethru]

Do you play a lot of video games?
i do not play alot of games. i have an xbox a ps2 and a gamecube i play on them but nothing on the computer cuz i have a shitty computer. the games i do play on those arent hard games. i dont know categories of games or whatever but i cant play a lot of racing games cuz they make me sick haha. and then i stick to semi easy games cuz i get too frustrated. haha. sooo i guess i could have just answered your question with a simple no :)

[DroppedUrPocket]

Exactly.

Americans are too lazy to play certain games now.....wow.
I'm not lazy, damn you. I literally don't have the time. I'd rather get instant gratification and play a few games at a time than grind it out on one game.

Any more sass from you and you won't get any manlove.

Eh, I'm a console guy I guess.

I've played a few PC games like Word of Warcraft but I love Console RPG's.

[Mercy Medical]

I've just always known PC RPGs I guess, so it weirds me out to use a controller instead of the keyboard.

So describe DQ8 to me, although I know it's a console game.

Ewwww. Energy drinks taste like asswater.

[last light]

im in between both categories, nothing is more rewarding to me than a deep game, but im not into RPG's at all, more action/adventure type of stuff, there just arent a lot of games im super interested in coming out anymore, im a picky gamer i suppose i could say.

[Mitch]

Well whoever said a simple football game (Not only that, but a franchise that comes out yearly with hardly any major updates) is the game of the year is obviously a complete moron, or hasn't played any other games.

[niveK]

Madden took a back seat this year. NFL 2K series would have been so much better if EA wasnt a bunch of nazis.

It sucks that so many amazing games doing find an auidence. Psychonauts was amazing, barely anyone bought it and the company who released is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

[fluke182]

Not to be a wiseass, but to my knowledge not a single publication has called Madden the game of the year. 99% of them have called Resident Evil 4 game of the year, which is a good call, and the rest of them called God of War game of the year. So there that is. Not Madden, but not DQ8. Experience opinions Slade, they are intense!

it's not possible for any reputable source to call a sports game game of the year...it is impossible and will never happen. People say sports games cause they're just dumb.

ha...that would make sense...sorry im retarded when it comes to video games.

[Darren McLeod]

When NFL 2K first came out I think a few places called it came of the year. I might be wrong though.

Like the spike tv awards show last year? what a crock of crap that was.

[SLADE775]

If so, How sad.

Anyway, what upsets me is the Madden moved 10 times the units DQ8 did.
DQ8 sold million upon million of copies in Japan, they know games.

Japan > USA

I'm moving there.

[Darren McLeod]

Well, Slade, NFL 2K revolutionized the football game genre and was a breath of fresh air. I love hockey games, and if a perfect hockey game ever comes out, it'd be my favourite game of the year, no doubt. NHL 2K3 on Cube is amazing.

[FstFtsVsFences]

[Lars]

Isn't the Dragon Quest series even bigger than Final Fantasy in Japan? At least, that's what I heard.

The first madden on ps2 was a pretty big deal too. It looked great (except the players looked souless) and before thet game the madden series was really shitty. That year completely rebirthed the series. I can understand in that senario Madden gettign game of the year (it played and felt like a whoe new game), but over the past few years all they do is tweak it.

[SLADE775]

Yes, it's the biggest gaming series of all time there.

As it should be here.

It's honestly Jumped past Ocarnia and Castlevania to become my favorite game ever.

madden = nothing in comparison to the Majesty that is the Final fantasy or Dragon Quest series

What makes it so good?

[Lars]

While everyone's on the topic of RPGs, does anyone know if Radiata Stories is any good?

[Darren McLeod]

Final Fantasy began to suck after 7. 6 was its peak.

Dragon Quest looks good, but I know it couldn't touch Ocarina in my books.

[SLADE775]

What makes it so good?

-It's like living another life.

-It's the perfect mix of linear and nonlinear gameplay

-the visuals (to me) are video game perfection

-Some of the mini games (like Gambling) are more fun alone than most games

-the characters and Voices are perfect in every way

-the story is well written

-It's has a sense of humor and sexuality

-the battle system is simple yet a constant challenge

[SLADE775]

FF9 and FF tactics were both incredible games.

I think Ocarnia was one of the best games ever made.

Question: Is DQ8 for the PC?

I also love Akira Toriyama's art work...you should add that...he did all the dragonball Z stuff.

[SLADE775]

No.

PS2 only.

[SLADE775]

Well, I kind of meant that with the visual comment.

But you're right.

It's really something special.

[Darren McLeod]

Didn't he do Chrono Trigger as well?

[oldwirehands]

Madden '93 > any other Madden game.

[SLADE775]

Yes.

Another great game.

[richter915]

I know, I just wanted to flex my knowledge of one of the best manga artists I know.

[oldwirehands]

That game is fucking awesome. I want to go back to my grandma's and pick up my Sega and all those games now. Sega and Super Nintendo came out with the best games

[niveK]

Madden '93 > any other Madden game.

My friend had that. We would be the Bills then beat the other team up while they were still in huddle. There is a feature that needs to comeback

For that reason alone its the best Madden ever.

[fluke182]

Kthx
Honestly, I don't know a single person who plays Madden. So yeah, once again, haven't heard anyone that says it's hot shit, of course WoW is the king of all existence to most gamers I know. You think 100 hours game play is good? Try 100 days. Madden is the worst football series ever in my opinion, and it's progressively gotten worse. The 2K series was fantastic before EA turned into assholes and bought the exclusive license. It's too bad really.

[SLADE775]

Akira Toriyama is the greatest manga astist of all time in my humble opinion.

[oldwirehands]

My friend had that. We would be the Bills then beat the other team up while they were still in huddle. There is a feature that needs to comeback

Fuck yeah! And when the a guy was injured, an ambulance would come and do something funny like: run him over, run him over and back over him, just totally pass him up and leave, or stop, get out the stretcher, then back in the ambulance without the him. John Madden acually said some pretty clever things at the time as well. Now he just says "You have to hold onto the ball" or "He just dropped the ball".

Old Madden had more fun features than today's Madden. Then again, back when the first couple came out, the NFL wasn't involved. The old games don't use team names, just cities. I don't even think they used the player's names either.

I think I had that one, or at least I had one of the NHL ones for Sega.

Speaking of old Sega games, I had an NBA game (I don't remember what year) and it was awesome because my cousin and I would take off fouls and then sprint and basically charge everyone and knock them over.

[DroppedUrPocket]

I dont care.

I never even said that I Hate ALL madden games. I just think that sports games are well.....Shallow in their entirity.

[lostntheseethru]

This thread was not meant to be a "lets praise old madden games thread"
but at the same time them praising the old madden games kinda proves your point. if they like the older games better than 06 then theres no way 06 could be game of the year....
