Oldies but Goodies

Ive seen a very dissapointing trend going on in all 3 gaming consoles, the game creators seem to be putting all their efforts towards manufacturing a beautiful game and forget to put a damned story line.

That's why im starting to miss all those psx games I foolishly gave away, and am thinking of re-purchasing some of the FF series.

Almost all the stories nowadays go something like this.

YOUR GOOD
HES BAD
BEAT THE BAD
EVERYONE HAPPY!

how about a story line where the character is torn between the good side and the bad side, the "dark" heroes, the amazing video clips inbetween scenes.....

now soul calibur's story line has turned to shit ( GET SOUL EDGE!!) when the original japanese version which my friend owned [Called Soul Edge] had an actual story line =O

The Final Fantasies had dark heroes with great story lines that were never duplicated (Squall was a student in a fighting school.... Cloud a "SOLDIER"... Zidane was some kind of ape monkey LOL)

+ Back then these games were actually hard to beat!
now you can just throw your controller on the wall and you'll probably get a 6 hit combo...


Just a rant, id appreciate it if games started having story lines that arent expectable or retarted,from now on....

I hate short games... I was really pissed that they made Zelda Windwaker and made it look "good" but only have like 4 levels... wtf is that.. Zelda needs the 9... I love zelda games but seriously I miss the length and the story.... I like challanging games. I remember the original Resident evils they were great. I remember the first time I played it on Sega Saturn it was challanging and something new.

When I want good game play I whip out my Original Nes and fire up some classics.

dude they have the first 3-4 zeldas in a special CD for gamecube....i paid 30 bucks on ebay to get it.

windwaker i thought sort of got away from the original story line....the animation was okay, but it was short and got away from the plot.

Yea I got those disks for my cube

Nice to see some people agree, ive actually installed ffvii on my cpu since its sold for about 70 $! on ebay ( apparently its a collectible) which means im probably gonna purchase ff8 before that becomes a collectible also lol.
