About Me

edit

The extent of my hardcoreness would we that I still have my PSX, controller, memory card and Final Fantasy VIII locked up for a rainy day. Other than that I still have my Dreamcast just for Shenmue and Seaman. I'll goto my grave saying Indigo Prophecy and Dreamfall; The Longest Journey are two of the best games of all time.

Top 5 Games:
1) Final Fantasy VIII
2) Indigo Prophecy
3) Shenmue I & II
4) Dreamfall; The Longest Journey
5) Rock Band/Guitar Hero series

Top 5 Books:
1) The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx
2) The Dirt by Motley Crue
3) Blue Rage; Black Redemption by Stanley Williams
4) Walk This Way by Aerosmith
5) Tommyland by Tommy Lee

Other than that I absolutely love long walks on the beach, drinking beer, and killen. Oh and Motley Crue FTW! Nikki Sixx is the man!

My Epic Game Purchase.
Styles B LKV \| 1:39 PM on 04.26.2009	14 comments

I've been on a bit of a retro kick as of lates so I decided to hit up my local Play & Trade to see what I can't find and I decided to pick up Saint's Row 2 (already beat it and sold it but the DLC is out now.) another copy of The Darkness since I have no idea where my copy went. Then I hit the main reason I decided to go there rather than the EB Games down the street from them, the retro section.

I snagged a copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the Dreamcast for a whopping dollar and then I found two games so epic I grabbed them both at the same time...

Yes, that is Shaq-Fu. Yes, I wasted a dollar on it. No, I will not smash it and set it on fire. Chrono Cross was a pure nerd purchase. It's still sealed and everything. I've never played it but I've herd lot of good things about it. I'm a little unsure because the only RPG I ever really got into was FFVIII but, we'll see what happens.

So does the fact that I purchased Chrono Cross balance out the fact that also bought Shaq-FU?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I too would be Shaq-fu simply becuase of its historic 'shitness'

Good find with Chrono Cross.

Chrono Cross is meh.

Chrono Cross is controversial. Some hate it because of the differences between it and Chrono Trigger. Others love it for its own merits.

Good:
-Generally interesting story
-Decent combat mechanics
-Beautiful visuals for the time
-Great music
-Great FMV's
Bad:
-Too many characters
-Not enough character depth
-Small world
-Only tangentially related to Chrono Trigger
-Plot doesn't entirely make sense
-"Leveling" system makes things far too easy.

I'd give it like a 9.2 overall, but I understand why some people don't like it.

Bah, I got the Chrono Cross w/o green label fully sealed for twenty. I ruined it for myself for thinking it was like its predecessor, sadly it wasn't. Its too full of characters that I don't care about and PS1 graphics of bleh-some quality that its kinda hard to get into.

Chrono Cross isn't a personal favorite, but it has its good points - if you got it cheap then you did okay.

Mr Kite

If you don't think of Chrono Cross as a real sequel to chrono trigger than the game is awesome. The music is good, the graphics aren't hard to get used to like some ps1 games. I played chrono cross before chrono trigger so I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

Styles B LKV

Kite, that'll be easy since I never played Chrono Trigger. I'm not a big RPG fan...

Chris Carter

Chrono Trigger is one of the biggest "decent RPG" titles you could ever play. I really, really liked it, but it's not upper echelon in my opinion.

Good find on Shaq Fu though!

Mr Kite

@magnalon

Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross? Because Chrono Trigger is much more than a "decent RPG".

I need to visit my play and trade more often.

I need to find the nearest Play and Trade immediately.

Chrono Cross got a 10 in Gamespot ...
