Need for Speed Most Wanted

This storyline has not been that compelling, per se, but it's kept me playing a repetitive-type game for the past couple of days. I wanted to see more of the movie that goes with career mode, and the only way is to win (and evade). It certainly sucked in the beginning, because you didn't have any money to improve your car, as well as getting used to the controls, so it was slow going. Now my cars are better, and winning isn't so frustrating. Play the wall collisions to get your car in the right direction, baby! Brakes? What are they?

I'm only a 1/4 of the way through so far, but I suspect Mia is a cop...I gotta know...don't tell me if you do!

Well,

No One has Said Super Mario and Donkey Kong

Those SNES Games were nothing but the shit!

On Playstation, Tombi (Tomba! in the US) was a rare gem of a game and was a RPG/Adventure Game.

Abe's Oddworld and Exoddus on the PS1 were great too and I have them

I declare The SNES to be one of the best Gaming consoles ever!

A game that is quite difficult to buy.

It's not difficult (amazon?

), it's expensive (about 70 USD, minimum).

Great story ruined by an awful game, oh the irony. The Longest Journey was great across the board.

FFVII is one of the worst games with the one of the crappiest storylines I've ever seen in my life.

"Hi, I'm an effeminate emo with and Oedipus complex... but I have a really big sword so everyone thinks I'm really cool. Just ignore the fact you can kill me in one round."

or

"I'm too stupid to actually do anything or form my own opinions so I'm just going to go along with this crazy bullshit. But hey! Big sword."

or

"I'm Mr. T. I mean, Berret. I'm the token black guy. Ignore the fact I'm the only black guy in the game that spans the entire fucking planet."

etc.

Doom?

Seriously though, I'd go with Deus Ex. Though...

we don't have to love all the same animes/movies/games, it would be a shitty world if we all loved yellow

PS: it is one of the reference games in all magazines/game sites for PS so it can't be that crappiest

materia system was retarded. It meant any given character's actual innate abilities were irrelevant, which doesn't make sense.

way to start a flame war there.

EDIT: I feel inclined to continue, but I promised myself I won't be contributing to retarded discussions. You know what I'm talking about. 'Nuff said.

that's right bitch.

let's go.

I'm fucking tanked on drugs right now, I can't feel shit!

on topic: I actually think that the Warhammer 40k games have a pretty cool storyline to them

Yeah, tho the setting as a whole generally doesn't progress too much (well, the dates change, but it's still the same old war). However, it moved forward somewhat recently in 5th edition, when the Adeptus Mechanicus found a malfunction in the Golden Throne which they can't fix. ^_^
