Bah. CT is overrated. I don't want sequels. I want games in clearly established series that shake things up in each successive entry, like Mario or Zelda.

Or original games. CT doesn't require a sequel; get over yourselves.

Heh. So....Apparently, Miyamoto places the order of the main Zelda games as:

Ocarina, Zelda(1st), Zelda II, Link to the past.

Now, it displeases me that a few games are missing from that timeline. Also, it doesn't quite fit in with how I pictured it...

I still maintain that there's no timeline. The games we play are just legends that loosely fit together.

Bah, that leaves no room for speculation! How dull.

not sure if this should go here or in the rage thread, but,

adventure quest annoys me.

there is never any spots open for non-gaurdians because the gaurdians are allowed to remain logged in while they aren't there. this is just stupid because it means that non-gaurdians don't have a chance to become hooked enough to want to give up money for it, and since it's such a crappy thing in the first place, nobody is going to buy it just because they saw somebody playing it.

runescape makes sense because there are quests that only members can do, so non-members beat all of their quests and then become members because otherwise it means giving up this game they are now addicted to.

with aq, you never get the chance to become "addicted" to it, and so the only people who are playing are the gaurdians who have been there since around the beginning.

if they did something smart like, say, having those "slots" be just for non-gaurdians and then gaurdians not needing slots, they would make way more money, because new people would be joining.

Dammit.

I *liked* Squall....

Loser. *Points and laughs at Notty*

CC was a flawed game that ruined many of the elements of the original, but it isn't some hideous abomination against the Chrono Trigger line in my book. The story wasn't bad, if only they hadn't saddled it with more characters then Suikoden, each of them having less personality then your average brick, it would have been a LOT better in my book.

However, CC DID make me learn about, and play the game Radical Dreamers which I like, so it's not all bad.

And Adventure Quest was never that good, why are you trying so hard to play it? There are a lot of better games out there, both Freeware and otherwise... Hell, even playing a MUD is better then Adventure Quest...

Hey! You stopped talking about.... something I was able to comment about! *pout*

HoMM3 came out in... erk... before I graduated high school there were three expansions, so... yeah.

The fourth game came out in 2001. It wasn't a good except for a couple small improvements that were totally overshadowed by many of the things they changed that were WORSE than the third game...

There's rumors of a fifth game, but I think it's still a while in the future.

...yeah, I know no one cares anymore, but hey, there you go. :P

Rumors no more! The latest PC Gamer has a small article on HoMM5. However, according to the article, it's coming out in Winter of 2006, so it is definitly a ways away...

...god.

Fracking.

Damnit.

...whoo! At least it's actually coming out! 3DO no longer exists, so I was a little worried. Although it was funny watching the opener for HoMM3 and seeing the 'impressive' (for 1999) CG animation and the deep voice announce the name of the company... and then click on the button to go to the website and get a 'page not found' :P.

I did find some previews. Only Castle and Inferno so far but the graphics look nice, at least...

</babbling>

3DO went under, but it looks like Nival Interactive is developing it, and Ubisoft is publishing it. They even have a website set up. It'll have six unique factions, and "more then 40 different units and spells".

Doesn't look to shabby at all from the pic...

Only six factions? Bah! 3 had... erm... eight? (Castle, Inferno, Necromancer, Tower, Conflux, Rampart, Stronghold, Dungeon) Yes, eight. Althought Conflux might've been expansion only...

...More than 40 units and spells?

...

A lot more, I hope... <.<

Conflux was expansion only, and made it 9 factions total (Although I never got the expansion that had the Conflux...).

Castle, Rampart, Tower were the good guys.

Stronghold, Conflux, and that swamp one... The one that made Hydras and Wyverns. Those were the neutrals.

And then Inferno, Necropolis, and Dungeon were the evil ones.

I know it's not that good, it just annoys me that something run so stupidly is still able to exist.


and I do play muds. muds are awesome. especially the discworld mud, except that the discworld mud doesn't have a races option and that makes me sad.

*cries* I wanted to be a nac mac feegle wizard!

What's the matter with Fortress? Those upgraded Wyverns that poison units they attack rocks... And... Umm... Well, everything else they make sucks, really.

I've tried to get into a few muds, but never with much success it seems. Most of them are really frustrating to travel around in, they need more and detailed maps...
