Yeah, Chaos, I gave up for the day. At least you get continues, and unlimited ones at taht! Ha, you don't get those in the original.
...Chron ...man. I can understand the hate for TWEWY, because it wasn't fantastic or anything. Pretty much just mediocre but not bad.
...but it is beyond me as to how you can hate a game like DKC2. That game is quite literally platforming perfection. There is not a SINGLE flaw anywhere in that game. The level design is the best in any platforming game to date, and there are more than enough secrets to keep anyone occupied. The music is amazingly atmospheric, and the graphics helped set the mood much better than tons of games even today ever do. DKC1 and 3 were great, too. But DKC2 was the pinnacle of the platforming-genre. There will never be anything better.
So... you're wrong. Your opinion is just wrong.
I hate the very character of Donkey Kong. I always thought he was stupid looking. I had the GB game (which is horrible), and apparently all of the games have that same sloppy control feel too them. It's so disgustingly loose and slippery. It's like DK just walks around with banana all over his feet, and when you jump you're at the mercy of nature. Nothing about those games seems smooth or well designed to me. I decided, out of sheer fascination, to beat Sonic 3 and Knuckles again.
Wow, me too. I'm at the Carnival Nite Zone and I've already managed to get all the Chaos Emeralds.
I have a feeling I won't be that lucky when looking for the Super Emeralds.
You can find all of those within the first two zones of Sonic and Knuckles. In the combo, there are actually eight giant rings in them, so it's easy to get them all. I can't do the same in Sonic 3; it usually takes me until Hydrocity or Marble Garden to find them all.

DKL1 was... well, it was really random in that you'd be going from the jungle to the snow to the caves to the ruins at completely random times, there's no themed worlds or anything like that, and it's just really loose and the levels are different and made just for the Game Boy. It's really not anything special. It also does feel really loose but the next too are only slightly tighter control-wise, but the Game Boy just can't make it perfect so I don't hold anything against them. But DKL1 is definitely pretty screwy.
Seriously, though. Play DKC2, go for a serious run-through and try it. Donkey Kong isn't even in it until the very end. The games have a great sense of humor, too. They're just... zany, that's a good word to describe it. I'm almost envious because you'll get to play through it and experience it for sorta' the first time. It's an amazing game and if you don't have fun, I'll... well, I guess I won't really do anything but that's fine because you'll have fun regardless.

Maybe it's 'cause they suck.
Just maybe.
Really though, I thought Dixie was OK until they decided she'd star in a game and completely annoy the #####in' piss out of the planet Earth. Tiny, Lanky, and the others who aren't Donkey, Diddy, Cranky, or Funky, can pretty go to The Island. But I'm forgetting a lot of Kongs, I'm sure, so that list isn't final.

I'm a huge fan of all of them, and I love the combat system, but for most people, listen to Kamon.
Grandia 2 plays slowly due to some conversion issues (unless you have the Dreamcast version), but it's still good times. I highly suggest the first; one of the best games of all time, and my favorite.
If you wind up liking the battles, play Xtreme. If you wind up really, really liking the games, play 3. I wouldn't suggest to anyone who has common sense though (but it's still got a better story than every Final Fantasy, but then that's my hatred speaking).

So, due to not being able to find MGS3's disc, Is stuck MGS4 in for a few hours... I honestly think that its the best game ever made. It's too much for me... I'm actually astonished by it so much that I'm gonna wait til my newly ordered copy of Subsistence comes through and play that first since I'm too overwhelmed by 4. Amazing. I also ordered all the PSP games, and I await the N-Gage (platform) midquel (set between 1 and 2) with baited breath... ... METAL GEAR! YAY!

I've been going Sonic-crazy lately due to immersing myself for the sake of my fanfic. *sweatdrop*
Mainly I've been playing the classics but I also have Shadow, Riders, and Heroes. Oh, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (DS), but that's not quite a Sonic game.
They're all fun to play as long as you treat them more as spinoffs than Sonic games proper.

Well, yesterday I picked up Guilty Gear X2 Midnight Carnival Reload or something for 5 bucks. It's fun I guess, it's missing a lot of things I expect in a fighter, like how your characters colors are randomly chosen and you get no say in anything. I also love how there's a time limit to pick your character in arcade mode, ya know, the game mode most people start out on. Yeah, 'cause normally I like a minute or two to look at all the characters and randomly choose one on appearance alone. Another thing, the characters all feel really unbalanced. I just use Jam and play with a mixture of random button mashing and from time to time attempting to do the instant kill attack. Why is there an instant kill attack!? I think it's really unfair that a fight can start and I can just randomly get lucky and actually pull it off. Also, what the hell? Bridgette's a dude. It's fun I guess, for 5 bucks. Aaand, I've also been playing Final Fantasy 4 for awhile now. I'm on the moon!~ ^_^Posted on: 6 August 2008, 01:55:53
Now I'm playing GTA:SA too. It makes me feel like such a dirty girl.

I've leveled out when it comes to the game I'm playing now. In addition to regularly playing Sonic, I have picked up Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus, after letting it gather dust for awhile, as well as Pokemon Crystal.
As far as PSU is concerned, I will gladly snatch up the third installment whenever it comes out. (I've heard online mode only offers a partial Ep. 3 story, so there's bound to be a physical game disc at some point.) I've fallen in love with the Gurhal system. It's so basic and cliched, for the most part, but I think that's why I like it. Plus, there's the inherent customization that comes from a create-a-character system. I might be seen online, someday...
Pokemon: My Igglybuff caught Pokerus after a wild Pokemon fight. It ran its course with nobody else in the party catching it. Lame. At least I got a level off of it.
