psx games

[Guitar Woman]

i need some good psx games, because as of now i see the psx as a worthless hunk of plastic that was junk when it was new and doesn't even deserve to be crapped in.

You know, because all I have is Final Fantasy 9 and Crash Bandicoot 2. >:

[the_dudefather]

ill get all the obvious ones out of the way first:

-final fantasy (most of the psx ones are good)
-tomb raider (the first and the second one to a lesser extent)
-castlevania: SOTN
-resident evil series (bar the first person ones)
-Metal gear solid

some personal faves:
-silent bomber
-harvest moon
-time crisis
-broken sword 1+2

[Guitar Woman]

I already have MGS and Resident Evil on the gamecube :(

Also, do you fucking know how much the decent playstation final fantasies cost these days? The lowest price on FF7 I can find on the internet is 68 dollars. >:

And I already have the PC Tomb Raiders, so yeah. I think I made a thread about how scary TR3 was a while ago.

But yeah, I'll probably get castlevania, so thanks.

Also, is Iron Core any good? I played a little bit once, and I liked what I saw :o

[Supafly345]

ff7 in a game store costs like 10 bucks because of over-production. If you can't find one cheaper than 68 dollars then that is the first probably price you saw and then congratulated yourself for being a fanboy and knowing that it was the best FF ever all along. Then you went to sleep on your bed of anime.

[TwinkieFace]

Azure Dreams is fun if you're into action-RPGs.

not the best game but certainly entertaining and unique.

[Guitar Woman]

RPGs are for fags >:

EDIT: also FF7 is only good because all the other final fantasies that arent 1 and 6 are fucking terrible. >:

[TwinkieFace]

I know that's why I suggested it

[Guitar Woman]

:tear

[Marc Summers]

-Legend of Dragoon
-PARAPPA THE RAPPER >:
-Tekken 3 (my favorite Tekken of the series <3)
-Star Ocean 2
-Medievil was actually pretty good...I played it again just recently and liked beating the stained glass boss...plus all the sidequests/secret areas were fun

[camacazio]

Mega Man X4, Symphony of the Night, and Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions are the only games I enjoyed enough to hold onto.

[Guitar Woman]

I've heard good things about parappa but then again I fucking hate rhythm games so yeah >:

[thebiggameover]

there are so many fucking psx games, i think the only system that has more is the nes or 2600. so its more like waht kind of game are you looking for, then people can tell you what to get. my list....

ff tactics
tales of destiny 2
ff8
enihander
mtv music generator
sotn
driver 2
twister metal 2
puzzle fighter
street fighter alpha 3

[Guitar Woman]

Right now I'm craving some really good adventure games, but the only two I can think of that have anything to do with sony are Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, and those are on PS2.

[King Hadas]

I've heard good things about parappa but then again I fucking hate rhythm games so yeah >:
I dont like Rythym games either and that goes double time for Parappa the rapper because the controls always felt a little fishy to me. Even so, parappa is definetly worth getting.
also FF7 is only good because all the other final fantasies that arent 1 and 6 are fucking terrible. >:
I thought you liked FF9?

[Guitar Woman]

I recently replayed it and realized how fucking shitty it is :(

[MetalMilitia]

Just get the demo CD which comes with the psx. It has a t-rex which you can move about and make its mouth open and stuff its awsome
And there is a manta ray but that just sucked.

[Guitar Woman]

You know what? Fuck the Playstation. >:

[Marc Summers]

You're just jealous :blah

[Guitar Woman]

Of what, shitty graphics with even shittier games and the gayest controller in existance?

[MetalMilitia]

the playstaion had the best controler ever. Then it was slightly improved for the PS2.

[Guitar Woman]

its only the best if you want to get arthritis by constantly having to reach for the left thumbstick >:

[marty]

the playstation was cool and going from a megadrive (genesis) to a playstation is a preatty big jump i still play some ps1 games now

[Guitar Woman]

Also why the hell hasn't anyone said silent hill yet >:

[marty]

Also why the hell hasn't anyone said silent hill yet >:
never played any silent hill games only demos of them :(

[ArrowX]

Parasite Eve (NOT PE2)
Dino Crisis 2
Unholy War

[Guitar Woman]

The Parasite Eve story made me sad :(

[executioneer]

(NOT PE2)

I GUESS I'M LUCKY, I GUESS. :lol

[Guitar Woman]

that's the first joke to go right over my head in a year :(

[executioneer]

it is a reference to parasite eve 2's crappy dialogue

not that 1's dialogue was really that great mind you, just that it may have had slightly better game mechanics

and man is the storyline for those games ever animetastic :x :x :x

[King Hadas]

Also why the hell hasn't anyone said silent hill yet >:
The "I need a decision" thread suggested you already bought it.

[Sam]

Tomba!
Tomba! 2
Fear Effect
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix
Vagrant Story
Ape Escape
Tecmo's Deception
Tecmo's Deception 2
UmJammer Lammy

[Marc Summers]

ATTENTION EVERYONE: Guitar Woman has small pixie hands.

[MetalMilitia]

I KNEW IT >: >:

[Guitar Woman]

Guitar Woman has small pixie hands.
That's why I'm cool enough to be able to like the Gamecube controller. >:

[Marc Summers]

While I do enjoy the work of Picasso, I don't think that he should've been in charge of button placement on Gamecube's controllers >:

[executioneer]

i like both controllers suck on that jerks

[Mockery]

LOADED

Awesome top-down view 2-player simultaneous shooter game with one of the best soundtracks as well. Easily one of the best PS games ever released. But don't get the sequel, it sucked.

[Juttin]

Crash Bandicoot 3 (What? It was a good game.....)
Tomba! 2

And....I forgot some other stuff....

[Guitar Woman]

I'll never play a crash bandicoot game again >:

[Marc Summers]

They're ok...but it tries too hard to be either the official mascot of playstation or mario's clone.

I mean, Crash Team Racing comes out after MarioKart 64...Crash Tag Team Racing comes out after Doubledash...Crash Bash comes out after Mario Party...it's kinda sad, really

[VolCanon]

Langrisser 4/5
Dragon Quest 4, 7

[Supafly345]

Crash Bandicoot was totally awesome. At least the first three and CTR. When the guys who made Rayman took it over after naughty dog went on to do better games, crash just turned into a game that makes money on a name.

[Seven Force]

Blasto was pretty good. Good gameplay, and it even features the voice of Phil Hartman. :(

Whatever you do, don't get Megaman X6. Stick with X4 or maybe X5.

[Esuohlim]

Jesus, Guitar Woman with all the angries :(

Get some gay games like Spyro the Dragon or something >:

[Guitar Woman]

Dragon Quest 4, 7
not all of us can read japanese you zelda-hating faggot

Also this thread just made me hate the PSX even more so I'm going to sell mine tomorrow >:

[executioneer]

i liked gran turismo 2 but you won't like it cause you're a GIRL

[MetalMilitia]

:x

[Guitar Woman]

i liked gran turismo 2 but you won't like it cause you're a GIRL
The only racing games that don't bore the shit out of me are the mario karts >:

[Emu]

i don't feel like reading the thread to see if it was mentioned but final fantasy tactics is superb

[Marc Summers]

Dragon Quest 4, 7
not all of us can read japanese you zelda-hating faggot

Also this thread just made me hate the PSX even more so I'm going to sell mine tomorrow >:

Ummm I know that Dragon Quest 7 was in English considering that I have a copy of it, and I don't know why that has anything to do with Zelda...

[Guitar Woman]

He doesn't like zelda because he's bad at videogames and died before he even got the sword >:

Also, As i recall DQ7 wasn't in english because I can't find it on the net in english.
SO THERE >:

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Dragon Quest VII in English (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005OLWB/sr=8-2/qid=1141337657/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-5774599-2466354?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance) >:

[Guitar Woman]

29 used & new from $41.71

The fuck >:

[timrpgland]

Yeah DWVII. I own it also. It's pretty good and long winded (longer than VIII). We didn't get the Quest name over here til VIII though.

Man Guitar, what kind of gamer are you? ;)

[Guitar Woman]

The kind who didn't get a PSX because according to you guys it only has 1 good exclusive game >:

[timrpgland]

So you've never played the best Castlevania game of all time (I suppose maybe you could have owned a Saturn... not exactly PS exclusive)?

Or Xenogears? The rest of the series has sucked but Xenogears kicked ass.

Not to mention some of the awesome PS fighting games....

boo to you. you should own everything.... :(

[Guitar Woman]

Fuck, I forgot about xenogears.

Anyway, the very best games on the PSX (MGS and RE) were remade for the gamecube with better graphics, better gameplay, better voice acting (kind of debatable for resident evil because they didn't keep the master of unlocking part), and a lot of extra stuff that made the games longer and more fun so as of right now the only reason I still have a PSX is so I can play DW7 and SoTN. :(

And mabye Xenogears, IDK.

[Guitar Woman]

Plus, Super Smash Brothers is the only fighting game I've ever really been good at without savestates. :(

[red8ge]

Ouch. :(

[Guitar Woman]

It's not even a real fighting game :(

[Supafly345]

I should play xenogears, I hear you can't see shit in that game.

Star Ocean, the seconed story is probably better though.

[timrpgland]

I should play xenogears, I hear you can't see shit in that game.

Star Ocean, the seconed story is probably better though.


Personally, I don't think so. Second Story was decent and the battles were ok but Xenogears is the overall better game as long as you don't mind a very drawn out story cause in the end it's worth it.

[Fathom Zero]

RPG Maker... The Perfect Game/Platform/Program...
I use it all the time, but I don't have the hardware to upload my games from the memory card to the intronet.

[ArrowX]

Parasite Eve was really underrated, and its not to hard to find If I remember. If you actualyl take note of the story most of it is possible to a certain point (sans the monsters)

Its also the game that edcated me about cellular respiration, the creation and use of ATP even the electrical value the cells mitochondria can produce.

[Fathom Zero]

The plot was always strange to me and didn't make any sense, scientifically. I never took it seriously. It deserves another sequal, though.

[executioneer]

If you actualyl take note of the story most of it is possible to a certain point (sans the monsters)

i thought that ALL of the story was the monsters >:

[GADZOOKS]

The Playstation One is the worst system I have ever played.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Final Fantasy VIII is the shit damn it. It's best playstation game!

[Guitar Woman]

The Playstation One is the worst system I have ever played.
You are my new best friend on the forums. PM me every 5 minutes ok

[Mockery]

Battle Arena Toshinden was always one of my favorite games on the PS too. Somethin about using Rungo to smash opponents with his stone club was too much fun. Bushido Blade was another cool one.

[thebiggameover]

if you pay more than $20 for a ps1 game, you fucking suck....

[camacazio]

I didn't like Xenogears at all. I hated battles in the robots, and the plot progressed horribly, and almost every line from everyone was trying to be really profound but it was just a really obvious statement with big words and weird sentence structure.

Gex 3. I suddenly remembered it. I liked that game.

[Mr. Vagiclean]

ehah! ah gex :(

I remember playing xenogears with a giant guide book, what a cheater I was.

[executioneer]

what about tenchu stealth assassins that game rules >:

[ArrowX]

no

It was basicaly the evolution of Mitochondria, see they have their own uniqe DNA structure from the cell that holds it, that's EVERY living cell on earth. So about a few billion years ago the Mitochondria and Cellular creatures had symbiotic relationships as seperate creatures but eventually the Mitochondria became trapped and dominated by the Nucleus of other cells.

Then flash up to the 1998 and you have "Eve" who is the result of the Mitochondrion central cellular structure, thus using the massive amounts of ATP the cells are capable of producing to evolve herself and those beings around her (her hate for humanity causes the mitochondria to produce energy simultaniously thus causing the body to combust) to evolve as she sees fit.

Then in a very Japanese twist Eve also wants to create the Perfect Being.

[EverythingWillSuck]

Arc the Lad (get the supder-duper collection thingy if you can find it)
Wild Arms series
Alone in the Dark series
Tales of Destiny 2
Zero Divide (fun and simple robot fighting game, though it looks like shit)

[executioneer]

no

DNA is in the nucleus, RNA is in the mitochondrion.
Mitochondria have no other purpose than to store/make energy for the cell to survive. The mitochondria don't drive any specific function, they don't store any key genetic information at all.

You've got a completely fictional tale, pure fantasy with monster chopping action. But very fun, of course.

[Guitar Woman]

what about tenchu stealth assassins that game rules >:
Isn't that the one where you're a ninja?

[Mr. Vagiclean]

yea, you get to play as two ninjas, there was also a prequel to it and a third one for ps2. Never played the ps2 one but man talking about the first two sends 8th grade down my spine

Castlevania Symphony of the night, if previously mentioned i am doing it again, Fight night 2001, and tony hawk pro skater 1&2 :(

[ArrowX]

Hey Fathom!

The mitochondria stores mDNA(mtDNA) passed on by the mother of an organism, I know thisn because they use it as a way to track female heritage in animals and humans. This information has almost no effect on development of a human, but it is there.

RNA if i remember correctly has something to do with the transition of genes to proteins for basically translating the genetic code so the cell can make use of it, again I'm not too sure but RNA found in the mitochondia is a non coding form.

Evidence exists that mitochondria was once a seperate organism, The symbiotic relationship of the Mitochoindria and other living cells could have eventually led to the current configuration. They no longer have any specific purpose other than generating ATP.

But in a fictional reality the Mitochondria have developed an aweareness and have began to implement their own mutated DNA into the nucleus, by cutting off energy output to the cells and dedicating it to rapid evolution of the organalle itself. and changing beings physical form.

Less credible but I'm too lazy to skim through my science text books.

I say, at least in terms of story, Final Fantasy II (later renamed Final Fantasy IV) for the SNES. You can find Final Fantasy Anthology (with FF III, now VI and FFV) and Chronicles(FF II, or IV, and Chrono Trigger), for the PS. Also look for Castlevania Chronicles ( a remake of the Sharp X68000 game) , Strider 2, and Silent Hill.

[camacazio]

Wow hey thanks for all those explanations of that confusing naming system there. That really cleared up a lot of confusion.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Basically, After the first Final Fantasy, the next 3 games did not make it to the US do problems with translating, Which is why the SNES games released in America were called "II" and and "III". I remember being surprised when FF VII was released for the Playstation and wondered what the last three games were. Of course, now all off them are out I believe. to add to the games list:

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (the first and only Kids game that made me cry because of a tragic and powerful ending

Street Fighter Alpha 3: Ranks with Street FIghter Turbo II and Tekken 3 as the best fighting game ever made

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Bust-a-Move 2

Tekken 3

[Guitar Woman]

Fuck every single RPG for the playstation, especially the gay ass ports of SNES RPGs. >:

Hey, I can fucking get those for free any time I want and not have to wait 30 seconds for the damn battle screen to load. >:

[Emu]

POINT, CONCEDE

What was that one fighting game with the FF7 characters? Ergheiz? Something like that? I liked that game. >:

I think Medievil was good but I didn't finish it

Poy Poy is a great party game if you don't mind the shitty graphics and playing without the analogue capabilities

Gex 2 is the best of the Gex games, hands down

[Girl Drink Drunk]

What was that one fighting game with the FF7 characters? Ergheiz? >:


Precisely.

[Guitar Woman]

[Emu]

yes

What could be better than a game where you beat people with rocks?

[Marc Summers]

When you beat people with rocks and it isn't a game.

Ehrgeiz was fun, and Gex 2 was definitely the best of the series. I don't see why you think the Playstation RPG's were gay, I mean, even if you don't like the Final Fantasies, there's always Legend of Dragoon, Legenda of Legaia, Star Ocean 2...lots of good stuff.

[Fathom Zero]

Blast Chamber is a good party game.

Omega Boost is a good one, as is Einhander.

[ArrowX]

Abe's Oddysey (and Exodus)

[Marc Summers]

Stage 5 is my absolute favorite rap, followed by stage 2, then 1.

[Fathom Zero]

"ODT: Or die Trying" was good.

Siphon Filter was awesome, especially when you got to use your taser to make people burst into flames.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Although I never played the full version, and it got boring after a while, Destrega was the shit.
