Battlefield 2:
AWESOME WITH A CAPITAL A
Think BF1942 with that Desertwhatever mod, but 400% better and more refined. So much fun.
Now I'm off to play Battle for Middle Earth. 
It's not something people hear about.

Uhhhhh.. odd, very odd indeed. The humour is a little more childish than I hoped for (breasts lolololol) but there are some parts where I truly laughed, the narrator is hilarious. That first wolf you kill is simply a golden moment, had me in tears. It makes fun of the whole RPG adventure genre.Took me hours to get used to WASD controls, which you are bsically forced to use unless you want to remap the whole (complex as hell) control system.
It's better if you have a gamepad.
Did you meet the Bodvs yet? Oh chirst, I damn near dropped a lung...
Spec Ops for the win!
I've also been playing Lunar Legends, though I had to stop. The sheer amount of predictability bogged me down, and when it wasn't predictable it was kinda irritating. It's amusing, but only so much one can take in one sitting. And so far I like the bad guys much more than the good guys, with the exception of Jess. More ambition. Go them.

I'm gonna hafta disagree, and remove CC from that pile, and toss Saga Frontier in, as much as square is a giant for the story their games tell, its also the implementation with which they tell it, I loved CC's gameplay, and the overall size of the game, awesome graphics at the time, still one of the best soundtracks out there.
Saga Frontier on the other hand may have an awesome story, that I will never know because trying to play that shit gives me a fucking aneurism.
Oh my. The things I miss out on.

I don't know what you are talking about. Every game should have save points as part of some massive conspiracy.

The first Saga Frontier here in the states wasn't terrible. Kinda fun having the alternate stories. Sequel sucked ass.

how...in the fuck...did you get anywhere? I own it and years after, I tried it again, thinking that in my youth I might have been fucking stupid, and still couldn't get anywhere.
Hooray for unlocking the M95 Barrett sniper rifle and causing much carnage among enemy forces!!

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Nicole was all like:
So far, CC isn't as bad as its reputation. I'm getting used to the battle system, and the story isn't that bad. But HOLY FUCK, Nikki must be the single most androgynous character ever. EVER. Wow.
Its not that its a bad game, its a rather good one. Enjoy it because it should be enjoyed.
On a side note, I actually enjoyed Chocobo Dungeon. Well, part 2 anyway. Never played part 1. It was ridiculous and stupid, but fun for some unknown reason.

Mr. Gainsborough had this to say about the Spice Girls:
I want to play Chocobo's Dungeon 2 just because I love Chocobo Racing so much and the characters seem funny.
Yes! Chocobo racing is my favorite racing game ever!
SaGa Frontier 2, I have to say... What the hell. It's been years since I touched the game, but as far as I can tell, most people are born with magic and some aren't and those that aren't are taboo but this guy born without it makes himself an Iron Empire or something (apparently Iron dampens magic) and take over a lot of the world. I liked this because it had a Delita/Rand al'Thor feel to it with all the common guy becomes great leader caught up in politics thing.
So you become this Alexander the Great type figure and then when you're finally starting to like the character, he DIES and his empire collapes without him. Then you're stuck playing some guy who isn't really all that interesting or likable and the only reason you keep playing is because you liked that climax that was the middle of the game so much. Only problem is it never quite escalates back up to that level.
Come to think of it, I may be thinking of an entirely different game. Can anyone who has played SaGa Frontier 2 confirm/deny this for me?

You forgot Ehrgeiz. While the main fighting sucked, the Diablo-ish RPG that came with the game was oddly fun.

The pain of collecting all the characters and nailing down every last ending, etc, etc will drive you insane.
I never did *complete* the game. I had an 8 page memory card dedicated to CC. The first 5 or 6 pages were saves in random spots as I went through the games, the 8th page was nothing but save points prior to beating the game for different endings.

And that's why I love emulators. I never saw all of them from the Crono Trigger but once I beat it on ZSNES, I just used a couple gameshark codes, some convenient save points, and the ability to speed up the game and whizzed through the rest of the endings.
And Ehrgeiz as a fighting game sucked, but was fun for the "I'm playing as Sephiroth! (Or Tifa, or Cloud...whoever)" factor for a little while. The RPG part of it, on the other hand, was amazing amounts of fun.
Edit: Oh, and Ehrgeiz was made by Dream Factory. It was only licensed by Square. Vallo fucked around with this message on 07-04-2005 at 05:40 AM.

Battlefield 2.
Since GPG officially announced Supreme Commander, I've been playing a lot of Total Annihilation, trying to beef up my skills. Since I quit playing, there has been a lot of progress done with 3rd party AI's, so I'm having fun actually having something that kicks my ass for a change. Also, I've been playing Dungeon Siege 2 Beta on and off. It's closer to a pure action RPG than Dungeon Siege, which was almost a real time tactical game. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it as well as I enjoyed Dungeon Siege or not, but I've got it pre-ordered either way. Yes, I am a Chris Taylor fanboy.

Is there any way to de-suck the BF2 server browser?
Use ASE to display servers, then join through BF2. You can't use ASE to join the servers though.
Is this a good idea? Some maps there are plenty of spots to find and snipe people, and some maps I go 1-10 because I can't find a single good spot.
BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH IS AWESOME
Being bad has never been so good. I particularly like the Eye of Sauron effect. It's so me.
