DVD format has taken off in the past year so I think the advantage related to movie playback capability for a console, as for as the north american market is concerned, is a small one.

Granted M64 is better than any of the PS2 launch titles, but > you get the point. > > Stryder The difference between the N64 and the PS2 is that N64 sold on games (Mario 64) and on the Nintendo brand.. after all Nintendo has just come off a nice bounce on the Super Nintendo's big years of 94/95 Sony is selling on the PlayStation brand alone. It could be argued that TTT and GT2000 are the games that are selling the PS2, but using that logic, it could be said Wave Race 64 and Pilotwings 64 sold the N64. I think we agree there is no game of Mario 64 calibre on the PS2 line-up. That said, it remains to be seen whether selling a console on Brand alone is more risky than selling a console on both Brand and a Branded Game. That's open to discussion and I don't have an opinion on that per se. In a perfect world where we don't consider factors such as third party support, it would seem that selling a console on both brand and games would be the clear winner, but then again, considering the n64 had such a tough time getting software, the lack of viariety and third party support counts as a factor against the console. Conversely, Sony has no major branded games that is generating buzz, but it has a strong brand name. And using the third party criteria, it is clear the amount of games doesn't work against the console. There are also factors such as quality of the software and pricing which I don't have time to discuss in this post. someone care to finish my mathematical equation? :P Dex -- Dexter S.

Mario64 is what sold me on the N64 (then again, I guess i would have bought it with no games :) Anyway, as for the PS2...I'm going to get Madden and Time Splitters at launch...both games have been getting excellent reviews. Nothing groundbreaking like mario 64...but no can deny their quality none-the-less. The main big thing that Sony will have to overcome won't be the lack of titles...there are plenty of good ones. The big problem now will the shortage. As some of you may remember, I have a good friend who works at the SE here. He came over yesterday and said that he just came from an employee meeting. We all know that Sony has cut the inital shipment from 1 million to 500K....well, it looks like the stores will be getting exactly half as well. The SE had 90 pre-orders promised for the first wave (they have many more pre-orders than that, but they only promised the first 90 systems at launch). Anyway, they are now scheduled to get 45 systems at launch. This pisses off my friend completely because their boss told them that they (the employees) were going to have to delay their own pre-orders (they all pre-ordered right at the beginning) so that they could take care of as many of their customers as possible. So now, even though he works at SE, he said he will likely have to be at Wal-Mart at midnight to have any shot at one. That may pose a problem as well since their shipment will be cut as well and their employees will likely snag them up before they make it to the shelves (if Wal-Mart allows them to). So...instead of going in the order of who pre-ordered first, teh SE here has decided to fo in order of how much people have paid down on the system (with ties going in chronological order). Thankfully, I am in the clear since I am in the top 5, have paid in full, and my friend works there...so I'm still good to go Oct 26. The point is, if anyone on this list has it pre-ordered at a local store...I HIGHLY recommend you go pay your system off now. BTW, SE expects to have all their inital pre-orders filled by Dec 1st.

I'm not sure about the quality of the titles. I know there are going to be your 'good' and 'decent' ones from companies like EA which have virtually invested their whole fiscal fortunes on the machine. But speaking broadly, I think the general flavour of the games are going to be quite similar to current generation games with a minor facelift. And it remains to be seen how the public at large (the hardcore ps gamers are sold no matter what happens) reacts to this and whether there may be a fallout after the launch similar to what happened with the n64. As for the shortage, I think the media is blowing it out of proportion. But there will certainly be some kind of a reprucussion in the immediate future, and that includes free sales to Nintendo and Sega. The same argument that applied to the N64 shortage giving the saturn and ps a windfall applies here. Only in 1996, Nintendo magically came up with another 500K units right before launch upping total shipments to 1 million, and i beleive supply of the console was not that difficult to track down in the first weeks. -- Dexter S.

That's where it's going.The 128-Bit generation, like Thraxen said, will just make improvements on the 32 & 64-Bit generation. Not a whole lot new in the sense as Mario 64, just better graphics.

They're currently sticking to the 'it's not profitable' line, but if the DC takes off with another 5 million+ units, who knows. Look at Capcom and the N64, which despite for different reasons, they still ultimately ended up developing for it. Furthermore, the X-Box does not lack Japanese developers at all. Go look at... http://xbox.ign.com/news/25233.html ...and note the all caps developers -- all Japanese. Capcom, Tecmo, Konami, Hudson, Taito, Namco, Koei, Kemco, Atlus, Bandai, Taito, etc. X-Box is looking far more appealing than the PS2 is at this point. But I digress, this isn't the list to discuss this. Majora's Mask, yes. X-Box, no. Bad, bad!

I think Austarlia did a great job with it...but they did not go over too well here int he USA (from a TV ratings viewpoint). The difference in time zones resulted in about a 16 hour tape delay..which really turned people off. Stupid NBC (or whoever it was that broadcast it) should have shown some of the events live, even if it would have been in the early hours of the morning. Then they would try and fit a whole days worth of events in 3 or 4 hours of primetime TV....bleh.

Mine main objection too it is: "I don't feel that it is a CLEAN kill" Let me give a example, I play the game a lot with my girl in multiplayer mode. But she isn't really a great player. After many, many hours of patient and teaching her she finally is so far that she can walk and shoot straight and also looks around and reacts accordingly to the surroundings. We (read she) like too play the Skedar Level with eight normal sims in it. Everyone is on a different team and two sims are on a team. She has reached the Veteran level (which isn't bad) BUT she is killed a lot by a sentry gun placed by me. And her is the prob! I would like to kill her faced towards her, so it is a clean kill and she also has the oppertunitie to kill me. And when i play the level without sentry gun my killcount drops with 30%!!!!! which is alot. Hopes this all makes sense and that someone on this list feels the same about it.

You can't be too careful with those sentry guns/mines/grenades strewn around each level, so I tend to lob something with a bang into any rooms of a doubtful nature. I see your point though, when playing against my better half she tend to get a bit miffed when I just drop those sentry guns around.....anything for a smile, I'm cruel like that. Oh, has anyone tried this.......pick any level (preferably one with lots of ladders i.e. warehouse), set all the sims against you and all the weapons bar a pistol to remote mines. Now see how funny is it to see these sims walking around with explosives stuck to their head/torso as they try to ko you with the mines.....dumbasses can't seem to work out the secondary function.....careful of the chain explosions though.

Date: 11 Oct 2000 16:29:44 -0500 Well, I watched the JP DVD....the movie was great of course (gotta love dts)...but the extras are somewhat disappointing. I was interested in the JP III trailer, but all it showed was an island with a bunch of lightning and a quick jungle scene...no dinos, people, or anything. Just a dark island and lightning. With the logo and "In Theaters Summer 2001" at the end. I was also hoping for more out of the dinosaur encyclopedia. It, of course, had the dinosaurs for JP and gave some decent info (like various size data and such)...but I was hoping for something more comprehensive. I did not watch LW: JP, but I did look at it to see what is had in the encyclopedia...but it was the exact same stuff...bleh! How cheap...LW had some different dinos in it that they should have included, but no...oh well.

He did list off a number of games that were not eligible for the trade. I can't remember all of them, but South Park, Turok 2, Forsaken, Star Wars Pod Racer, all wrestling games, and any sports title that was not current did not count. Naturally I was hoping to be able to trade in three copies of Pod Racer for Ogre Battle, but EB is onto that scheme. Of course there are still many other games that can be had for around $10 that did seem like they would be eligible, so if EB does decide to continue this deal, I will be there with copies of Wipeout 64 ($9.99 at TRU), Lode Runner (under $10 at Best Buy), and some other bargain bin fare...

As for TWINE, I was really discouraged by DR's review as I was intent on buying it for a review for TB no less, but after reading IGN64's review, DLing some movies, and so on, I got a much fuller picture of what the game will turn out to be like. So I'm still on to pick it up.

Depends on the persons morals or if they would have bought the game anyway if the ROM was not available. Piracy is rampant on the PSX, Gameboy, and PC. But it has done little to hurt any of those. They are not close to dying. This N64 piracy is far less than than any of those...it will have no noticable effect on Nintendo.

I prefer those to the more flimsy, and I'm sure, cheaper, cardboard front DVDs. Because price is a factor, I think Nintendo will go with the cheapest high quality format.... that may be the cardboard front, covers or perhaps even mini jewel cases contained in a bigger cardboard box. (there's a very good reason for putting it in a bigger box and that is to take up shelf space and increase visibility) But I'm sure they'll choose wisely. They may be criticized for many things, but Nintendo has a long history of manufacturing some of the most durable products in the game industry and I don't think that will change.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Shahed Chowthuri is every videogame console maker's dream player. Chowthuri, 23, a software engineer from Alexandria, Va., bought a Sega Dreamcast on Sept. 9, 1999, the first day the console was available. In August, he bought a second Dreamcast system. If that wasn't enough, he's already pre-ordered a PlayStation2, Sony's much-anticipated next-generation game machine due out in two weeks. When Chowthuri bought his second Dreamcast machine he signed up for Sega's fledgling online game network, SegaNet (http://www.sega.net). The network lets people match up with other players over the Internet through their videogame systems. Now, Chowthuri spends several hours a week online playing Chu Chu Rocket, a cat-and-mouse puzzle game, and Sega Sport's NFL 2K1 football game with players around the country. But where Chowthuri has gone, will others follow? Sega (http://www.sega.com), Sony (http://www.sony.com) and rival makers of videogame consoles and software are counting on such avid fans to usher in the videogame industry's long-awaited age of convergence, where people will use their systems to access the Internet. So far, though, the concept has been more promise than reality. There are a number of reasons why. To date, Sega is the only one of the top four videogame machine makers to build a 56K dial-up modem into its device, though others make add-on modems available at an extra cost. Playing games over the Net isn't the same as playing against someone sitting in the same room. Net connections have something called latency, which means they don't always carry digital data at the same rate. That can lead to game action stuttering or stopping momentarily in mid-play. Players who log on with faster modems can have an unfair advantage over players connecting over slower modems. In addition, players complain that machines aren't simple enough to set up to play games online, according to an August 2000 research report on the videogame industry from James Lin, a technology analyst and managing director at investment banker Sutro & Co. (http://www.sutro.com). As a result, early predictions that online game revenue for the videogame business would total $1.2 billion by 2001 have fallen drastically short. More recent estimates put the total at about a quarter of that, according to Lin. Given all that, it's no surprise consumers aren't sure whether they want to use game machines to go online. In a recent poll by researcher PC Data (http://www.pcdata.com), 30.5 percent of people surveyed said they were ``extremely'' or ``very'' interested in playing online games on their videogame machines, compared with 45.4 percent who were ``somewhat'' interested, and 24 percent who were ``not very'' or ``not at all'' interested. ``As far as the next generation consoles are concerned, players are more excited about the better graphics,'' said Matt Gravett, a games analyst with PC Data in Reston, Va. ``The online component is interesting, but they don't know what to make of it yet.'' The future is even fuzzier when it comes to guessing whether people will want to use game consoles for regular Net activities such as reading e-mail and browsing Web sites. The question of whether or not people want to use their game machines for Net access is quickly becoming more important as most next-generation game consoles will include some form of Internet capability. Analysts and others believe game consoles won't hit their stride as Internet devices until people can play over those kinds of high-speed, broadband connections. They may be onto something. Apart from his SegaNet connection, Dreamcast owner Chowthuri doesn't subscribe to another Internet service provider at home and hadn't considered signing up for cable-modem or DSL service. But when told of Sega's broadband adapter, he immediately perked up. ``I think it would encourage me to get one,'' he said. Now if only videogame companies could get more people to think the same way. -- Dexter S.

(IMO) > -Eric- While Sony should not have promised 1 million units so early, it should be noted that they are still going to have more units and games available than has ever been available for the launch of any console. This whole deal has been blown completely out of proportion now... As for people wating outside of stores at night....this always happens with the launch of consoles. I doubt many people will actually be waiting outside anyway...the only people who will get them at launch is people who pre-ordered, and they have no need to wait outside. Places like Wal-Mart don't takes reserves, but they are open all night anyway...so again...no one will be outside. Now, there will be people outside at the SE here...but that is because they are opening at midnight. I'm not sure though, but I think we will be allowed into the mall early anyway. When I was at SE today, they told me that there were going to be gaurds at the mall entrance and they would let us in if our name was on the list. So I think that means we will be let into the mall itself before hand.

Nintendo may not give you that pleasure. :) If they're going with propriety disks, they may go with smaller cases, but then again, their N64 boxes have always been oversized, so perhaps they wont. it may be cheaper just to go with stock cases since economies of scale will probably make it cheap to buy. -- Dexter S.

Being forced to buy upwards for 10 games for each ps2 unit they receive. Simple economics tells us that very few will buy more than 2 or 3 games for each unit of ps2 they buy and these stores will have to offset this cost by charging more for the base unit.

You either love it, or get bored with it. It's certainly not as radical as the shift ala Zelda 2 from top down to side scroller, but the world Link inhabits in Majora is more a living world where hundreds of things is happening and there are numerous simultaeous tasks that could be done and it is through going through the same three days over and over again that we finally narrow down the tasks. I agree with Dave here about balance. The dungeons (well, I've only gotten as far as the first) aren't straightforward. To get into the first dungeon for example, various side quests have to be done first. It's a very peculiar game, and considering this game was called Zelda Gaiden when it was being developed for, I don't hold anyone responsible. It's a sidequest and it is what it was supposed to be and then some. -- Dexter S.

I think FF8 is worth playing such a long time( > I played it about 86 hours) because nearly everything is - to say it one > word- great. > (only the many battles are sometimes too frequent, but it's possible to > reduce them to zero) But being fair minded, I'd say that Final Fantasy 8 isn't all that bad. It had things going for it (mostly high production values and a sqeaky polished look) but the things that didn't go in its favour are actually worrysome in the sense that they are not minor quibbles or complains about the gamepla, or something or the other, but rather, the whole underlying mentality of the game was to rush players through this story with a minimum of interaction, something that is the ultimate anti-thesis of what gaming stands for. In that, Final Fantasy 8 comes dangerously close to becoming a choose your own adventure novel that people have tried to emulate in so called "multi-media" movies and failed. Square's apparent change of heart and its return of roots in FF 9 is probably as a direct result of true gamers telling them FF 8 sucked. In fact, several developers, including Konami, have attacked Square inderectly by, criticizing the mindless, one button RPG, which essentially means players can do everything, from choosing menus, interacting with objects, and scrolling through dialogue by just pressing one button. And that is what Final Fantasy 8 had in spades. To compensate Square put much of the interaction in the battles, which unfortunately became excessively bogged down in long animation sequences and repetitive battles. Chrono Cross, a game with a fraction of FF8's budget, and using a mere 2 dics, have been held up by many reviewers accross all publications as the ultimate example that less can be more, and Gamespot in particular drew the comparison between Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 8, citing that Chrono Cross' real lived in world, as opposed to FF8's polished Hollywood sets, was more convincing. Indeed, having played through both games, I liked Chrono Cross' theme of an teenager drawn by fate into an adventure and the sexual and emotional tensions with his female counterparts far more effective than FF8's drawn-out melodrama, featuring a cast of depressed misfits that goes nowhere. -- Dexter S.

Often times, you'll be wandering around this huge town, with so many places you want to go and so many things you want to do that, like Majora, it becomes diluted. In fact, Majora, being the build as a quirky somewhat innovate sidequest, still have a somewhat coherent driving thrust behind it that moves players along the game. Shenmue is much much broader in that respect. Famitsu, among others have given their verdict on the game, and its overwhelmingly positive, so there's little evidence to say that the game is bad. Majora's Mask, may however be more sensitive to individual tastes, and the individual's patience.

That's a point. But in my opinion every game should be different. Sometimes much interactivity, sometimes not so much. But never too much like in Might& Magic ... for PC . There are so many subquests and "unimportant" things to do making it difficult to follow the main story. And it doesn't matter which part you choose because there are only little differences. And that's why I admire all Final Fantasy games(& nearly all Squaresoft games(..forgot to mention Nintendo& Rare& ..)), because each game is a complete change in story, character design, battle system and so on.(ok, besides the battle music&. :) Sometimes I like this "what the h*ll should I do next" feeling, but the opposite of this is also very entertaining. So I don't wanna say, that this .. kind of gameplay is the best & I don't wanna play games being different from this because this will result in more Tomb Raiders, Might&Magics, C&Cs and so on. > And that is what Final Fantasy 8 had in spades. To compensate >Square put much of the interaction in the battles, which unfortunately became >excessively bogged down in long animation sequences and repetitive battles. I know what you're saying. But as well as you could reduce the battles to zero, it was also possible to fight only with your weapons making the fights a lot shorter.

What happened was that you had a lot of people used to the style of the previous FF games, then when the style radically changed with FF7 and FF8 (actually, the shift began to some degree in FFIII US...espers and such) a lot of the old time FF gamers did not like the change....but a lot of people loved the games...like you said for Zelda 2, FF7 and FF8 were love or hate games for a lot of people. But true gamers? That's self centered. But I am glad they are going back to the more fantasy style game....and classes. Going away from classes and switching to espers, materia, whatever....was the worst thing they did.

If you don't have a lot of interactivity, you're hitting the borders of what is techinically defined a game. The reason many of the interactive-movie like titles on 3D0 and PC-CDROM aren't reffered as games by most people is exactly because they have limited interactivity so much players are a minor participant who spend the majority of the time watching stuff happen to them, not really participate in doing anythign pro-active.

Square have done story driven games that are quite good. I mentioned Chrono Cross. Not to mention I am a big fan of Final Fantasy. But Final Fantasy 8 is far far to the extreme of the spectrum. It is really a poor excuse for a movie, and if it is, its an increadibly bad movie at that, as it permeates a B-quality Japanimation story line. > > I know what you're saying.

I alos forgot to mention the less than acceptable load times between screens. Every screen takes roughly 3 seconds to load. That's just unacceptable. And it adds up over time. On average, I spent about 5 minutes staring at a black loading screen for every hour i played FF8 last year. If I'm someone like you who put in 85 hours, that's 425 minutes of starting at the screen loading the next scene, or 7.08 hours. And I don't even want to give you an estimate of how much time i wasted watching the summoning animations over and over again... > > misfit seems to be the wrong word - > well, enough said- Misfit is the correct word. They are all depressed, they all have problems, and I was even expecting to see a psychologist pop up and give players a Freudian explanation of the ID and the EGO. Actually that may be a good idea. The problem with FF8's story line is that it puts such a strong emphasis on Squall's troubled past and the resulting depression that it forgets to adequately flesh out the circumstances this problem creates. So we're constantly having to watch him sigh and be oh so sad, but not see much of the tensions we would expect. It may sound like a paradox, but in attempting to make a deep protagonist weight down by the past, Square has managed only to make a cookie cutter depressed protagonist in serious need of Zoloft or Prozac. > I hope to get my hands on FF9 and CC (& Zelda MM) as soon > as possible, > but next week I gotta go to army; d*mn...

Actually the change was more conceptual, and the game shifts its emphasis from a tied down quest mode with clear primary and secondary objectives to a game that is less linear. The shift in final fantasy is actually a discarding of meaningful gameplay alltogether in favour of a movie like experience where the story happen to the players, and the players themeselves have very little control other than pressing a button to move the story forward. > I have it here, but have > not turned it on...I can't stop playing SSX. > Good for you. -- Dexter S.

Now that the game > has arrived, everyone (including Dex) is saying it's understandable if some > people don't like the change....how come it was not ok to say I was > concerned about it before? Go figure... Actually, you were equating the shift in style to how good the game could become, and equating your concern to perhaps Majora's Mask being a major blunder by Nintendo. I recall that one of my few responses to that thread was to point out Famitsu gave it a high score, and now that western publications has gotte hold of the game, it is clear the verdict is nearly unanimous. So yes, Equating the shift in focus to the quality of the game is wrong and I disagreed with it. The underlying quality remains, but i'm sure there will be players who find the less linear and "decide for yourself" nature of Majora's Mask to be problematic because maybe, they are not used to thinking for themselves and have to have the game tell them what to do n ext. Actually, that's being a little harsh. Characters in Majora's Mask actually tells you what to do. There are just a lot of overlapping storylines and players must choose which one to do first. But having taken a quick glance at a stragy guide, I can tell you these is a general order in which to complete the dungeons and that means a lot of associated tasks will have to be done in more or less the same order. -- Dexter S.

Chrono Cross is a radical change in style, both in fighting engine, and theme from Chrono Trigger and people loved it. That is Because it kept a gaming sense of order at heart. Like all Square games, It's still a story driven rpg, but is has more RPG in it than story. The reason Final Fantasy 8 has been criticzed from all corners, and this includes rival developers not neccessarily in the rpg business is because of its lack of respect to gaming. The one button RPG as konami called it. And that is my major problem. It is no longer a game when there is hard any gameplay associated with it. Its closer to a choose your own adventure novel. > > > But I am glad they are going back to the more fantasy style game....and > classes.

Is it true? >-Eric- > Not yet, but I'll buy it. That's sure, but I can't say when. Actually, you can't get this game here, so you have to order it from Austria, Switzerland or UK.But recently I've seen it in a department store. On the package is a little text: "Nicht für den deutschen Markt bestimmt" which means that selling this game in Germany is forbidden. Strange, isn't it? If I remember correctly, Nintendo didn't release this game here ( it was the same with Goldeneye, but it's no problem to import it), because it could be set on the so-called "index" which means that any advertisment or even game reviews are forbidden. But censorship isn't the right defintion because it's still possible to buy this if you're 18 years old, but you have to ask for it, because the seller isn't allowed to put it to a visible place. But this would mean that everybody under this age( who don't know somebody who would buy it for them ) would not be able to buy it. And without no advertisment, nobody would know of this game & it would be hard to sell enough units to make profit. In order to avoid this kind of punishment many game companies do some little changes to their games like: replacing humans by robots(Turok), changing the blood color or even without any blood(Turok, Resident Evil 2 PC), or just not releasing. But as long I can get these games from foreign countries,I couldn't care less. The worst case which could happen is confiscation of all units of a certain game. This happenend to the Mortal Combat series and Wolfenstein 3D. The index list contains games like: Doom, Cannon Fodder, Die Hard Trilogy, Killer Instinct, Lethal Enforcers, Project Overkill, Rambo, Super Double Dragon and so on - mostly for SNES/Genesis/PSX _Michael [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thraxen Subject: Re: [N64] Zelda gets 10 10 10 Date: 28 Oct 2000 18:04:25 -0500 > What's really ironic is that I was once the biggest Zelda fan there was > (not really but I was really into it).

This is a fact. I think it should be around 50% for FMV & gameplay. FF8 doesn't reach this value for FMV. This is my opinion. So now it's up to you to decide what would you choose? A movie or a game or maybe a mixture. I like watching movies and playing games, too. And now there's a game like FF8 including both of them. Great !..... But the problem seems to be how much of both.

I was pointing out that in games like Might&Magic there's TOO MUCH INTERACTIVITY. You search for somebody's pet, you look for a stolen glock( believe me, this's true) and so on... and not to forget: you gotta save the world, but there only VERY LESS information how to do this.

Yea, the only problem was, I was laughing at how corny the story was and you could tell the folks at Square took their shit seriously, and that's what makes it even funnier.

Read what I'm saying and not what you think I'm saying. Don't get me wrong. I don't think that games without FMV aren't worth playing.

Recently, I've started playing RomancingSaga3 which has a lot more interactivity than FF8 and is without any FMV. >Besides, when people from Square's popular Legend of Mana team split off into >their own independent company and cites their main reason for leaving is because >they felt Square no longer shares their values, you know the criticisms aren't just an optical >illusion being created by critics.

That certain "wow factor" isn't there anymore, although I must say that I do like looking up in the sky and watching that sinister moon sink closer when another 12 hours passes. I did like the cinematic feel when I got the Ocarina back, too. And, I find that I like Tatl better than Navi. Why? I guess because she's a bit less annoying. Of course, this one doesn't beat OoT. If I find such wonderful temples like the Forest, Fire, and Spirit Temples were, I will be very pleasantly surprised. Still, any Zelda fan out there should try to pick this one up ASAP.

Thats all well and good, but you need to accept the fact the a lot of people like the games even if you don't. Also, sometime, I would like you to explain how the more recent FF games 'push' you along a tight storyline whereas the other did not...I did not see freedom in the others either.

Because I'm not dissing story driven RPGs. All Square RPGs are story driven. But Final Fantasy 8 had neither a good story, nor enough gameplay elements to be called an RPG. The latter is what i'm really critical of. The one button RPG. The game simply got really bogged down towards the middle and there's reams of useless chatter, and the game forces you to backtrack through large swaths of land, and you're being attacked troughout with no control over avoiding battles. and on top of that, you have to wait close to 3 seconds for each screen to load. And that's for every screen you enter, with a few exceptions where 2 screens would be loaded into ram simultaneously. Somewhere in disc 2, I realized that I'm just pressing one button the majority of the time and that stuck with me. When others began voicing similar opinions, That's what it struck me that what I've been wanting to say isn't at all out of line. -- Dexter S.

I agree with you about games throwing you into this game and let you do anything you want. it loses its focus and too much interactivity is not good. But that's beside the point. The criticsm I have is it doesn't have enough gameplay elements and you're just being pushed from one melodramatic event to another with FMVs in between. > As for the FF movie, my point is that it is a project that the Final Fantasy game team, aside from Sakaguchi has very little control of, creatively. So the movie itself isn't a reflection of the game(s) or the series. And as you can see from the trailer, its a completely different story, and theme. It actually looks closer to Sega's Sci-Fi RPG, Phantasy Star, than Final Fantasy. > > Don't get me wrong. I don't think that games without FMV aren't > worth playing.

Good. But the problem is that Ramancing Saga3 isn't exactly the best Square franchise, not is it very popular. > > Is Legend of Mana any good? I've played the last version > on the SNES and I didn't like it so much because of too less story. The SNES version is called Legend of Mana. Densetsu, is japanese for Legend. The translators simply decided to call it Final Fantasy Adventure to avoid any confusion with Legend of Zelda when it was released for GameBoy. The sequel, Secret of Mana, was actually Seiken no Densetsu 2, and a third installment, Seiken no Densetsu 3, using SNES' high res capabilities was released in Japan, but not here. You can find emulator rom of the game, fully patched with english text. After that, things pretty much went downhill. Square released a fourth installment and in the spirit of erasing its old ties with Nintendo, decided to call the game, Seiken no Densetsu again... which was translated to Legend of Mana stateside. The game has enjoyed mild critical success,but most people agree that the game's sidequest/episodic nature hurt its coherance. Most of the key team members has since left Square for their own company. Word on the street is that Square is pretty much just focusing on its primier games, mainly Final Fantasy, and many of its other franchises, including Chrono Cross/Trigger, were left alone for their respective teams to control.

Did you take a picture of the deku king yet? take a picture of him and go back to the hut, and give the photograph to the big guy. he'll give you a heart peice. Your next step now is to get to Woodfall palace. The entrance is located on top of a water fall in the segement of the swamp with those big mushrooms. To get up there, you'll need to get to the Deku palace, but instead of going in, hop onto the floating lotus leaves on the swamp that is to your RIGHT. After 2 leaves, you'll see a third leaf that allows you to jump onto an island with a deku launching flower pad thingy. Get on to there, launch yourself and you'll fly through a hole in the wall and emerge on the other side of the swamp up high, with flowers that lets you hop from one mushroom to another. Watch out for the electric bees though. Just keep hopping, and you'll reach the waterfalls eventually. Talk to the owl, and then read the tombstone he is standing on. there is a song for you to learn that allows you to warp to different locations. The entrance is just across the waterfalls. -- Dexter S.

Did you take a picture of the deku king yet? take a picture of him and go back to the hut, and give the photograph to the big guy. he'll give you a heart peice.  Your next step now is to get to Woodfall palace.  The entrance is located on top of a water fall in the segement of the swamp with those big mushrooms.  To get up there, you'll need to get to the Deku palace, but instead of going in, hop onto the floating lotus leaves on the swamp that is to your RIGHT.  After 2 leaves, you'll see a third leaf that allows you to jump onto an island with a deku launching flower pad thingy.  Get on to there, launch yourself and you'll fly through a hole in the wall and emerge on the other side of the swamp up high, with flowers that lets you hop from one mushroom to another.  Watch out for the electric bees though.

Just keep hopping, and you'll reach the waterfalls eventually. Talk to the owl, and then read the tombstone he is standing on. there is a song for you to learn that allows you to warp to different locations.  The entrance is just across the waterfalls.

Date: 29 Oct 2000 18:35:27 -0500 (EST) I was leafing through the November issue of Scientific American and I read an article on Toy Story 2 and advances in computer animation. In the article we learn that most in the industry believe 80 million polygons is where "Reality" begins. X-Box and the next generation of consoles(the one after this one) will likely have consoles that can pump 80 million polys/sec w/ effects TURNED ON(don't be fooled by PS2's 75 mil poly's). I was excited until I realized that you have to take into account the 30 frames of a television and that the figure was PER frame. *sigh* So.....reality begins at 2.4 billion polygons/sec. Also: The claims of Toy Story graphics will have to wait until a future generation as the original TS was 2-19 mil poly/sec. Which, if you mult by 30 TV frames/second, gives you a figure of 60-570 million poly/sec. Toy Story graphics quality --> 60-570 million poly/sec Toy Story 2 graphics(about double) --> 120-1,170 million poly/sec. Toy Story 1 graphics should be possible with the coming of the next generation!

I started my day by following the Luigi look-alike Gormon (He looks exactly like the evil Ingo from Ocarina). From there, he led me to the mayor's house which led to a new mission for me. The mayor's wife is looking for their missing son, and now I'm supposed to meet the inn keeper at 11:30 pm to talk to her about his whereabouts. I'm promised some information. What struck me as really cool is how beautifully the Majora team integrates this living world into the game. It's not just following people around, but actually watching them live this world. There's very trickery used. By that, i mean, the game doesn't force events by fading to black and move characters that way. I can physically follow them as they move from spot to spot. The notebook can store 20 characters, so that means there's 20 characters that are of primary importance in the game. Not as much as I hoped, but having only followed Gormon's day for the first 12 hours, I'm having a blast as it is. There's a lot to do, so I'll get going.

Sound good? > Also have ya played Timesplitters yet? What's it like? > I can't wait for that one. Love it....the main thing I have been playing is SSX. That game is a blast. To give you an idea of how good it is, I don't even like racing games...I don't own a single one. Yet, I heard so many great things about SSX that I had to give it a try. Now I am addicted....best game I have played in a long time. I put in a couple DVDs to try them out...work perfectly. The video quality is as good as my standalone DVD player. The only problem is the DVD movie interface (the controls) is a little clunky. So navigating menus and if you want to rewind or something can be a little tricky. But if you don't already own a DVD player and you are interested in even a couple of the games, then the PS2 is a perfect choice. I have not played much of Time Splitters yet....I have spending most of my time on SSX and now a little on Zelda. I have played it for a couple minutes though.. the graphics are very good...nice and clean. I am having trouble getting used to using a controller for a FPS game after playing UT on PC so much, but I'll adjust. I still can;t find that dang "4 channel sound" option that is mentioned in the instructions...and that is pissing me off...but I wrote Eidos support to get some answers...so I expect to have that resolved in a couple days. I also have Madden 2001...played a couple games of it...great game. Again, very clean graphics. One thing I did not expect (and is kind of cool) is that you can use all the European teams (Claymores, Rhein Fire, etc...). All in all, I stuck with 3 of the highest rated games that interested me...and all turned out to be great choices.

Now I can understand you not liking the story or if you felt there is not enough exploration...but saying an RPG is bad because it uses too few button is VERY shallow and quite pointless. Anyway, at some point you just have to accept that a lot of people actually do like the game and a lot don't...you fall into the latter (as you have told us way too many times). What is the point of telling Michael that "FF8 is bad" when he obviously likes it? Seriously, we already know you don't like it. So you might as well quit bringing it up...EVEN when someone says they don't lie a Nintendo game....so next time someone says they don't like a game that you like...try not to start up with your "I don't like FF7/8" rant...ok? Could you do that for us, please?
