Playstation 2

[Frisko]

The old PS2 thread is gone, so I'm opening a new one.

At this moment I'm playing Ace Combat 5 (a great game), NBA Streets V3 (lots of fun), plus a friend gave me Shadow of Rome for the weekend (It's good, a bit Onimusha style).

Anyway, at least for me in the UK, the coming weeks are going to be crazy!

These are the games coming out that I MUST BUY:

04 March - Metal Gear Solid 3/Snake Eater
09 March - Gran Turismo 4
11 March - Fifa Streets
24 March - Devil May Cry 3

I don't know where I'm going to find the time to play them all! And Metal Gear and GT4 are huge games, they're going to last forever!!

Do you buy original games? I mean, non-pirated ones? Are there any pirated CDs in UK? How much does one game cost there approximately? I got my pirated ones for less than a pound in Indonesia.

I am only playing Pro Evolution Soccer 4 as of late. The last game I played before that was Star Ocean: Till The End of Time. Got any RPG to recommend, Frisk?

I buy original games, my PS2 is not chipped and I rather things to stay like this. Why? I had my PS1 chipped, and I ended up getting so many games, and not really enjoying them in the end.

Last year I bought 13 games, it's about one per month, this way I enjoy them. The problem is that they all come out at the same time! And then there are long periods when there's nothing good to play.

Anyway, an original game costs £40 in the UK, but you can get away with about £32 if you buy it in supermarkets such as ASDA or on a market stall. I usually buy them with my bro, so it's half of that money for me.

As for the RPG games, sorry Han but I hate them!

Frisko if you'd like I can send you MGS4 right now

It was legalized to have chips in your playstation here in Australia.

Anywho, i get 15 DVD games for 100 bucks. and i can get about 50 CD-R games for 100 bucks.

Nothing beats any Final Fantasy game in RPG's. But im sure everyone knows that already.

[scutzon]

I'm still playing my Winning Eleven 8. What's the difference, if any, between Pro Evo 4 and WE8? I also play GTA: San Andreas, and Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

[snake]

winning eleven 8 is jap version. Pro Evo 4, was released throughout Europe and Australasia. So its in English, and all bugs in WE8 have been cleared.

[Frisko]

Pleaseee helal tell me everything about Devil May Cry 3, without spoilers though!

I love the crazy action in this game, and the fact that you have unlimited ammo for your guns!

I hear you can choose to be gunslinger and that using guns will totally rock if you do?

[snake]

to be honest ive only played a little bit. but its already got me hooked

It lets you choose from Gunslinger, Swordmaster, Trickster, and Royal Guard classes

But i gota confess i never finished DMC 2. lol didnt have the motivation. DMC 1

Wipe Out

Wipe Out

whoaaaaaaa that takes me back a long time!

actually so far back, it was ps1 and my brother was still living at home lol. Man those were the days, we use to battle non stop in that game priceless

[scutzon]

Is Ace Combat 5 a flight simulation kind of game? Where you control fighter aeroplanes? I think I played Ace Combat 3 in PS1 before. Was fun. Maybe I'll try it.

And, I just remembered, I just bought the game Alien Hominid. It's a Metal Slug kind of game, 2D, cartoon like graphics. If you're just looking to have some fun, buy this game!

[Handoyo]

What the hell is Ace Combat 5? Some explanations please, if you guys don't mind. Also, will it take away lotsa fun if I play Devil May Cry 3 without playing the first 2 prequels?

[snake]

DMC3 is the actual prequel... if that makes sense?

DMC3 is set before DMC1, but dmc2 doesnt interfere with them, right frisko? and number2 is crappy.

So if you want u can play 1 then 3, or just 3 with basic knowledge of 1. lol


EDIT: sorry forgot, Ace Combat 5 is a flight simulator. Your the squadron leader and its loads of fun.

You do not have to play any of the games before it to play it. u can start from 5.

[Frisko]

Ace Combat is not really a flight simulator. What I mean is that it's very arcade, I know that some people are into flight simulators which are extremely difficult and advanced control-wise.

This is all Top Gun style action. I've played all 5 games in the series and they're just brilliant

Guys, a word of advice: stay away from FIFA Streets!!

I bought a PS2 magazine, PSW, which has a free dvd inside, with clips from the games.

FIFA Streets looks terrible! Bad graphics, a stupid commentary (you really appreciate Bobbito's great work in NBA Streets after listening to that crap!) and there's a silly music in the background.

The game seems to be all about stupid tricks, they don't look realistic at all. Avoid like the plague. If you must, at least rent it first.

yeh mate, dont judge it on what people say. it lookes good to me, and either gameplay wise, fifa is never good. but its street soccer so no need for it.

[Frisko]

helal, I actually saw it myself and I think it looks just terrible, no way I'm shipping 40 quid for that, especially now, with all these games coming out.

As I said, I highly suggest to rent it first if you're thinking about buying it.
