Posted January 7, 2010 I still think you can though. Maybe if you're just checking out titles in stores for the major platforms, but if you own an iPhone, check indie scenes, etc. then there's always new things. Agree with this so much. There's some really fresh, new gaming experiences coming out for the iPhone largely down to the indie support there. Tis slowly becoming my favourite platform however bizarre that sounds. Great price points + innovation = winrar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said it once and now you keep repeating it even though it isn't even a web phrase, it's a tool to process/extract files. I guess it does sound funny somehow.

Posted January 8, 2010 Its amazing, I've been yearning to get my mits on theme hospital, a game that plagued my childhood. But I love it too much, can't find it for cheap though. Everytime I check game its there but not in stock.I have two legitimate copies.... One is even in one of those huge boxes that PC games used to come in, back when there was less piracy and PC games dominated an entire wall of Electronics Boutique.

Posted January 8, 2010 Ok I thought as I typed it might be but couldn't be bothered to cover myself in the post. I did a quick google and got nothing, oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) How come you keep saying winrar now? I said it once and now you keep repeating it even though it isn't even a web phrase, it's a tool to process/extract files. I guess it does sound funny somehow. It's because you're a super cool trend setter yo and I wanna be just like you! Or because, as others have said, it IS a web phrase. When I was at university all our group work was 'winrar' and everything we did was total ironic 'win' which is why I say it. Also, to be COMPLETELY pedantic... http://n-europe.com/forum/search.php?searchid=523438 Other than 6 months ago when Moogle said it, I actually said it a week and a half before you and then only twice after you repeated me. Pwnt tbh. Edited January 8, 2010 by SPAMBOT4000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 8, 2010 OTT. I must've subconciously copied the phrase from someone. As I said I was going to cover myself by putting 'unless I'm mistaken' and no I wasn't being a snob by saying you copied me and trying to take credit for something amazing. Gtfo.

Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) I too am feeling more apathetic towards gaming, but thats not due to me, its due to almost all games being the same generic things with a tiny little twist. I used to buy like a dozen games a year, if not more. Now, I don't even get half that. Developers just aren't trying that much nowadays Sometimes developers do something thats been done before but do it amazingly like with New Super Mario Bros Wii, but most of the time, it's just too generic. Especially with the oversaturation of first person shooters in the market Edited January 9, 2010 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2010 If you keep playing the same games, day in and day out, eventually you're going to get bored. When this happens to me, I first take a break, maybe watch a some movies or do something different in general for a couple of days. You should also vary your games, I mostly play PS3/PSN games but sometimes I buy PS2 games which I might have missed out on. Maybe check out some DS games?

Posted January 10, 2010 Ok so yesterday I actually played a lot of games and want more! Although it wasn't without its frustrations. Played Gunstar Heroes on my megadrive and that crashed bloody annoying then played some Alex Kidd and the Enchanted World or whatever its callled, god knows how Alex Kidd was so popular it was shit. Then I played some Robocop VS Terminator which is an amazing game. Then I settled down with some Borderlands, a game I do love but just have struggled to get into recently, I ended up sitting down with it for 3 hours...and gonna fire it back up later...I think however once I've completed this gonna play some shorter games perhaps... Started Indigo Prophecy/Farenheit again but decided I cannot play it with a trackpad and keyboard just not happening. Think need to buy a PC controller. (I can just buy a wierd 360 controller right?)

Posted January 10, 2010 I have to admit Darksiders has totally come out of nowhere and seems a reasonable purchase. I was vaguely aware of it as one of my mates at work loves the comic books...Get paid on friday considering it. Although want to get Borderlands completed at least once before I start anything else.

Posted January 10, 2010 I haven't gamed/bought a game in years.... It's mostly because I don't have time, but I didn't really have the urge too...and when I tried too, I would just lose interest. But guess what sparked me up again? FF7 First time I have played it properly, I used to watch my neighbour play it all the time when I was little, and he let me like press a button :L I'm loving it, addicted I am XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2010 really?! I don't it has aged well at all and for me FF9 is actually a better game... If any RPG gets me back into gaming it's either Dragon Quest or Persona. Dragon Quest for the simplicity and not trying to make you force yourself into all the technical stuff like a lot of other RPG's. With Persona, get past the first hour and your going to be hooked for the next 50 Sometimes the most simplest are the old school games like Mario Bros or Donkey Kong that can get you hooked. Simple games get me in the mood to play more games in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to trying out FF8 though, I have that Don't expect the same experience you had with FFVII... not saying you won't like it... just prepare to be surprised. Haha this is so weird discussing such an old, classic title as though it has just come out. My g/f has also never played FFVII, I might buy it on PSN for her to play through...
