VIDEO GAME DRAFT - Discussion - Page 2

post #51 of 1112
Oh really? We consider me down but I warn you. The picks will not be that great because I have been out of video gaming for a long time.

River City Ransom? Did I fall asleep and wake up in Round 47?
post #53 of 1112
I'm glad you all like River City Ransom. The picking of Snatcher kind of fucked with my original theme... So I'm working on something else. But it's weak. I really didn't expect Snatcher to be picked.

I apologize in advance for the weakness in theme. But I do promise that all my picks will be excellent.

Works for me. I assume these are East coast times?

Yes, it says so in the first posting
post #57 of 1112
Shit, Hocken is in da house.

And River City Ransom is a weak 1st round pick, theme or not.

Not really. I haven't done games in so long. But be sure I will use Gary Cole style tactics
post #59 of 1112
Yesterday, Cole was on Entourage, and I still cursed your name, you fucker.

Oddly enough on the way back from the No on 8 protest on Saturday. I ran into a woman who works on that show. CAN YOU DIG IT?!

Unless the theme is really shitty NES games. If so, great pick!
post #62 of 1112
River City is shitty? Now hold on there.
post #63 of 1112
This draft is going to drive me batshit. At least in the horror draft, if I hadn't seen something I could just add it to the Netflix queue. I may have to buy 2-3 game systems after this draft. Snatcher? River City Ransom? Never heard of them.

Fuck my wallet.

Not shitty, but it's far far far from being a Round 1 pick. It's like picking Alien Resurrection in a Sci-fi draft.
post #65 of 1112
It's a shitty, shitty, SHITTY game, that was one of those titles that was over-pumped in Nintendo Power and still did shitty in sales.
post #66 of 1112
Yeah, fuck River City.
post #67 of 1112
It's a very unique game and anything that gets referenced in Scott Pilgrim is a good thing.

"BARF!" *drops change*
post #68 of 1112
I love Scott Pilgrim as much as the next guy, but River City just isn't a fun game. Unique yes, fun no.
post #69 of 1112
Fair enough. Now why isn't the draft moving?

huntertarantino.

at 2, the next group can go.
post #71 of 1112
No disrespect. But I'm not surprised.
post #72 of 1112
Yep. It's great that people at least respect their draft time, but hunter often misses his slot.

fixed for you, Tati.
post #74 of 1112
Stupid question, but when it's your groups timeslot, can anyone go, or is it supposed to be in the order that Tati put? I've only done one other draft, and want to make sure I don't mess up someone's pick.
post #75 of 1112
Rob: When your draft grouping comes up, any of you can go in any order.
post #76 of 1112
Thanks for the invite Tati, but no, i'll leave this to the pros. I'd only be joining to draft 2 or 3 games I adore, and I'm sure they'll get snatched up. Plus, I'm out of town thursday and friday, so it'd be a bust anyway. But i'm gonna keep checking in on you guys. Might be interesting to be outside of a draft for once.

Booth, don't let me down!
post #77 of 1112
Just a heads up, Tati, I'll be out of the house 12-6 Tuesday and Wednesday. Earlier the better, if at all possible, otherwise I'll just get someone to draft in my stead.
post #78 of 1112
It's kind of hard to explain why River City Ransom was awesome and ahead of it's time without name dropping other games, but I still have a lot of fun with it.

The RPG elements are deeper than they appear at first glance, and the co-op mode is pretty awesome. Throwing a rock at someone's face at close range, then the rock bouncing back and knocking you down too never gets old. I've always dug the art style too. Damn shame more enemies couldn't be running around at once, but hey it's the NES. The game has pretty brutal difficulty though, as was the case a lot of the time back then.

Judas Booth's theme: Games with 16 pixels or less.
post #81 of 1112
I really have no response to Martin; he's probably right.
post #82 of 1112
Judas I can symptahize. Had I gone with a playstation instead of an N64 in '96 I probably would still be in video games.

One of these days I should get an Xbox but that cash has been going to swim lessons.

A) Anakin's Dad jumped the gun.

B) He took a mediocre (and most overrated) Final Fantasy title.
post #84 of 1112
A) Fuck my computer (must be fast).
B) Maybe so, but this is the only game I HAD to have on my list. This one turned me into a gamer.

I love the Tetris pick.
Anakin was early by 3 minutes. Clock discrepancy?

He likes bigass swords with equally big spikey hair.
post #87 of 1112
Yeah FFVII was awesome when I first played it but I'm so sick of FF games in general. But I swear, if Anakin says he cried when Aeris died he doesn't get to pick anymore games.
post #88 of 1112
Jcassidy: Great pick; would you please be so kind as to update the pick with format and year?

'Tetris' is one of those games that will be played 50 years from now. Easy to understand, easy to play, increasingly challenging, and infinitely replayable.

'Final Fantasy VII' was fun to play through ONCE.

No tears were shed. But, there were clenched fists and threats of vengeance. Hell, I was only 16.
post #90 of 1112
No worries about being early, just being douchey.

But Final Fantasy VII, for getting people into gaming its ok, but I've written ad nauseum about how it's overrated as a game.
post #91 of 1112
Dickson picked a good one.
post #92 of 1112
Tetris is the perfect puzzle game. They keep on adding shit to it, but you can't top the original(although vs. on the the old Gameboy was amazing).

I don't need to know what block comes 8 moves from now, or some line/shadow block telling me where my piece will go goddammit.
post #93 of 1112
Ah, but it still shines with nostalgia.

Excellent picks this hour though. Can not fault Tetris (I played that game so much I dreamed about the damn blocks) and Golden Eye (which I came so damn close to taking).
post #94 of 1112
Baldur's Gate is still my favorite pure RPG. It takes the spirit of the older games that came before it, tosses it on to the tried and true D&D framework, fills it with great characters, and puts you in a great story.

Swapping pieces is cheating. I don't care how many iterations has it as a "feature." It's cheating.
post #96 of 1112
Sorry for holding things up, but it pays off.

Can't argue Tetris or Pong.
post #97 of 1112
Hunter, late pick, but Goldeneye begins and ends the movie adaptation discussion. Great job.

If Goldeneye had dropped to the second round, especially on this site, I would called for a void on this draft.
post #98 of 1112
'Baldur's Gate' is one of the best RPGs ever made. Bravo, Richard...I'm glad that someone took that one.
post #99 of 1112
I was always more partial to BG 2. But great pick Richard. And Goldeneye was awesome back in the day, but is pretty much unplayable now.
post #100 of 1112
FF7 is good, but there's much much better Final Fantasy titles out there. It's the most popular, but it's preceded by better ones.
