Mr 9.8 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Well I finally did it, I got all the hearts/Gold Skulltulas and all side missions in 'Ocarina of Time' and I can now say I've completed everything in both OoT and Majora's Mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F For Fake Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Since this is the "all purpose video game thread": A little over a week ago I picked up an as-is lot of video game consoles on CL. About $65 for 15 systems, which came out to less than $5 per console. After testing I found I had two working original X-Boxes (plus three more that have drive errors), 4 mostly busted original Playstations, a PSOne, a GameCube, A Dreamcast, parts of an SNES, something called a Unisonic Tournament 2000 (or close to that), and a Sega Genesis V2. I ended up keeping one the nicest of the working X-Boxes and the Dreamcast, am giving the Unisonic thing (comes with a giant rifle attachment) to a friend, and should make most of my money back selling the rest of the junkers for parts on eBay. But the biggest surprise to me was just how many memories the Genesis brought back. I am in love with it. Growing up I had an NES, but I was never really a Nintendo guy. It wasn't until I got a Genesis that I really fell in love with video games. So, I hooked the bad boy up, found a bunch of games for about $3 each (including like new cases) at the local HPB, and find myself getting re-addicted to Sega! Sure, I had the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for my 360, and sure I know you can get emulators and Coinops and all manner of "free" ways to play as many old Genesis games as I'd like. But there's something about holding that original controller in my hand and popping that little rectangular cart into the console that I find really satisfying. So now I'm scouring eBay for complete games at a price I want to pay. Some of the ones I remember fondly (the Phantasy Star games) are fairly expensive, but I've been able to pick up a slew of others (mostly superhero titles) for $5 to $10 each complete and in nice shape. Otherwise, if I'm not playing the Genesis, it's Titanfall on my X-Box One. I was never much of a shooter fan, but this game is ridiculously fun.

joe_collector Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The best game for the Genesis was the first Madden game, which allowed you to sack the QB and potentially put him out of the game, and then an ambulance would drive out on the field (running over players and bouncing them off the hood) to pick up the battered QB. I can remember one night, playing with some friends (All-Madden vs. Dallas Cowboys ), with me blitzing Joey Browner (who was a beast back then) and putting the starting QB out on the first play, and then the backup QB out the second play. After that Dallas put in some girl-armed kicker or something, and he tossed up end-over-end floater balls all game - he was also invulnerable even though we sacked him 100 times or so the rest of the game. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_collector Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Anybody play Diablo 3 yet? I played it on PC, but I tried the PSN demo out and it was a lot of fun on the consoles - I am waiting for it to hit $19.99 and I'm in for PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Anybody play Diablo 3 yet? Yes. It's a good game though it sucked pretty badly at launch. It has definitely been tweaked into a decent game. They just put out an expansion but I have not bought it yet. I have friends who are giving it rave reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is Diablo 3 worth getting for single player campaign mode, or is it designed to be primarily co-operative / online? I play mostly single player though I play with friends from time to time. You are certainly not tied down waiting on PUGs before you can enjoy the game.

I play mostly single player though I play with friends from time to time. You are certainly not tied down waiting on PUGs before you can enjoy the game. Thanks. I thought I'd check first because I got a little caught out when I bought Borderlands, which in single player mode I found to be one of the most tedious games I've ever played, seemingly forever grinding XP to level up.

Diablo 3 is fun either single or multi player. It's obviously more fun after you've played a while and amass more items in which to slay demons with. It's a bit of an equipment struggle at first, but it picks up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yecul Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Bought a huge lot of stuff from a collector last weekend. Included was a Vectrex. This thing is so awesome. Immediately ordered some more games from eBay and NA. Cool system. I am finally - finally - getting to playing Super Metroid for the first time. What is this next gen you speak of? But seriously, I wrapped up Portal 1& 2 which were great experiences. I am always a gen or two back, which helps the affordability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
