Myst was awesome. Except for the Selenitic Age, because I was an idiot and played with my speakers off, not realizing that the entire damn thing worked on sounds...

Never got into myst, I was too busy with RPG's and Strategy games.

Like I am now.

I also get stuck on the first puzzle in most those games.

I don't like myst, and use it as an insominia cure.

I recently finished my first foray into the Metal Gear Solid series, with Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. I must say that I am sublimely unimpressed.

Where to start? How about the plot - gameplay ratio? The plot was amazing, truly incredible, and I loved it (even if I hated Snake's voice, as he sounded at all times like he had a hornet inside his butt that was biting him), but there were a few issues with the way it contrasted to gameplay. Specifically, the fact that you spend more time watching cutscenes than you do playing the game. They could have just made it a movie, and no one really would have missed out.

Can I use that sometime?

You think that was bad on CS to Story ratio, try MGS2.

MGS3 pulls off a better balance, and is my favorite in the series (Along with possibly being the best game I've ever played), although Twin Snakes is second favorite now (Which makes sense, since it really is just MGS but better...).

MGS had a good balance on the PS1, but the story was a good bit weaker then it is in Twin Snakes. It's all give and take, really. Twin Snakes is like the "Director's Cut", where the director gets to throw in everything he felt was left out. Well, there wasn't anymore gameplay to add, so they made up for it in spades with Cutscenes and Storyline being FAR improved over the PS1 version, and also far longer. I don't have a problem with it, but that is because after playing MGS3, I find the old MGS style of gameplay to be inferior, and am just playing it for the story...

I'm with FZ.

Now, a game that could have been a move is FFX, I'm not even sure to this day if it WAS a game and not a movie.

Ugh, if it was a movie instead of a game, I might actually finish it...

You would have fallen asleep 20hr into the movie, just like the game.

I've never actually fallen asleep, but the bosses are a combination of Frustrating and Boring that makes it impossible to keep going. I got stuck at Seymour when you battle him at the pass leading to Zanarken, and got sick of fighting him and took a hiatus that has yet to be broken...

Hey hey hey HEY! What's with all the FFX-bashing? I understand FFX-2-bashing, but FFX itself? You're bloody insane! Sure, it was a long game, with a lot of cutscenes, but...Xenosaga? Much more so. And hardly anyone I've known, online or irl, bashes XS.

....thank goodness, I'm not the only one who didn't like that game...

Also wasn't the biggest fan of FFX.

(didn't play either, but watched enough to know that I didn't really want to)

Saying I didn't like that game is like saying most Americans didn't like 9/11. I truely loathed that game.

Hm... I don't know enough about it to properly loathe it, but I know I sure as heck wasn't impressed by the concept or what I watched of it (roughly the first three~five hours of the game... and about 10 minutes of non-cutscene...)

You insult my religion, RTM.

Not FFX, or even XS, but RPG's in general.

I hate to hear people bashing any RPG. FFX-2 doesn't count, because it barely qualifies as an RPG. XS and FFX, however....
