Am I the only one...? - Aug 13, 2006 05:43
I just thought i' d do a thread for these such questions where you wonder, ' Am I the only one thinking this' , casically because I wonder one myself. However feel free to add your own.

So without further delay.

Am I the only one who Doesn' t like analog triggers on controllers.

I still play driving games with D-Pad, and prefer shoulder buttons (but currently prefer racing games with the PS config of X (go) Square (brake). So yeah, not a fan of triggers here... even for shooters I don' t find they make the game any better or immersive....

I hated it at first but eventually got used to controlling like that.

Am I the only one who doesn' t know what Kikizo means or stands for?

I read somewhere that Kikizo doesnt stand for anything!

Not liking analog triggers for racing is just plain silly! it lets you control how much you want to step on the pedal!

It doesn' t mean anything, just sounds cool. I think I remember that being said in an interview Kikizo had.

No, because when it comes down to it, the specs mean very little in the overall difference between consoles - PS2 v xbox is a great example.

Well the racers i like are such as burnout 2... I like flatout speed racing, not simulation, the arcade style. And in such games i' ve never found it useful to be able to limit the pressure on the gas. I' ve got by with D-pads for years, and triggers never sat well with me.

If you prefer arcade style racing, it doesn' t really matter what you use to control the game. As long as you' re going forward it' s fine.

But for games like PGR3 where powersliding/kudos requires finer control, analog is simply the only way to go.

no it has been ever since Majik left. where the fuck is he anyways?


Am I the only one that is losing faith in the entire videogame industry. I mean I just feel like I' ve seen everything and played it to death. This industry is following the same pattern and making the same slightly better games. I dump so much money in this stuff, I think I need a new hobby to distract myself.

I dont get how this forum worked before majik was here

I remember that when i wasnew here,Rampage kept it very busy.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

No-one is saying Majik ran the forums, or made them better, but it is his
attitude that kept most idiots in check; I can acknowledge that.

Out of most of us there are at least 3 people that would generally give a thrashing
to stupidity.

I honestly couldn' t
be bothered after the Cetra incident, I tried to make him better but alas his thick fanboy skull could not be penetrated. Neither could I be bothered when Evil Man
went crazy:


" Eggs and bacon?"


I don' t know why everyone gets hostile when someone says " since Majik went..."

with a passion.

I played most Zelsa titles, I completed OFT [which was good], 3/4 of the way through wind waker and gave up at the finding scrools part with tingle, in fact right before the final boss, but I got the picture to whats it like. I played a linked to the past alot on the snes, and even a few gameboy games once or twice. The Minsh Cap serves to be my most horrid Zelda experiance. and yet, It just feels dated to me. Tp Is hardly going to change my opionion, but as you have seen I will give it a far cahnce.

I will never Like MP, played it for 20 mins and put it down. Not my type of game. I dont hate it, I just dont want to play it though.


Am I the only one, who dislike Half Life 2? [thought its hype was unbelieve for a boring fps] and Thought Halo was nothing special?


hmmm... I seem to hate hyped games. but love MGS, something must be wrong with me.

(ok I understand why someone could hate the Windwaker , but ocarina, link to the past,majoras mask - were top notch)

I hate Metroid as well, most overrated series. Zelda kinda sucks now, it was the best in the Gameboy & Snes days but now, meh.

N64 Zelda sucks too?
The new one is Meh as well?

Come on...most people judge Zelda with Wind Waker in mind.Not fair.

oth MEtroid and Zelda have a bit similiar gameplay mechanics actually, so if you really, really hate one of them , chances are, you won' t like the other (but if you hate Metroid for control scheme - you suck).

Still Zelda is Zelda and should at least be given a chance by anyone who really enjoys gaming.


Who are they?


You never know who' s Majik' s bitch , untill it is too late...


:)


...and Thought Halo was nothing special?


Silent , you' re not the only one :) - Halo was a very good game , but nothing really that great (if it were a GCN or PS2 game, it wouldn' t have been that huge).It was much better than Halo 2 though :)

Didn' t play too much of HL2 but did enjoy what I played but I do think Halo was over-rated, and never even wanted to play through the first one entirely, only did as my friend wanted to play co-op.

The Metroid Prime games are better than all the other FPS games ever made (including Halo, Half-life 2 or whatever you like).

I think Half life 2 is a great connection between FPS and FPA games - it has the best of both subgenres and above all it has immersive storytelling.

Metriod Prime sucks when compared to Halflife 2, Halo, Doom 3, Halflife, Soldier of Fortune, Quake 2, Quake 4, Quake 1, Duke Nukem, Dark Forces, Prey.

I can' t agree that Metroid sucks comparing to any of those games , but it' s hard to agree on it being the best FPS either.

As always the truth lays in the middle of those two extremes.

But prey,dark forces,soldiers of fortune,Q2? these games were never considered to be great FPP examples

Metroid is a great game and while you may not like it - it still is a great game.

I fully understand if someone feels that many of the other mentiond FPP games are better than Metroid Prime. I' d actually be surprised if someone else but me thought otherwise.
But to say that Metroid Prime sucks is weird. Ok, it may not be for you but just check the average score of the games and you' ll see that it' s up there with Halo and Half-life 2. That' s how it is with different games. They' re either loved or hated.

I respect people who like it, as it must be a good game for them [Metroid]. But not for me, no thanks.
