The games I play besides RPG Maker

[sweetladyamy]

There are quite a few.

For one, I really love the old, classic 8-bit and 16-bit games.

Like, I really love Mario Bros.; it was the first game I ever owned. (actually it was the Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo pack)

I also love the old, pre-Final Fantasy games. Did you know, Rad Racer was also made by Square?

I could list all of my favorite NES games, but that's a long list, so I'll name my top 20.

Mario Bros./2/3/Lost Levels

Final Fantasy/II

Blue Marlin

Excitebike

Rad Racer (the second one wasn't as fun as the first)

Tetris (I've also played the harder arcade version which also incorporated a second player)

Dr. Mario (It's no different in the arcade)

Duck Hunt (you can beat round 100)

Metroid

Casino Kid

Skulls and Crossbones (though it's VERY hard)

Marble Madness (play it in the arcade! I recommend it)

Megaman/II/III/IV/V (just for the action and overall gameplay)

Milon's Castle (one of the HARDEST RPG's I've ever played)

Pipe Dream (a puzzle game similar to Tetris)

Final Fantasy VII (a hacked software only available as a rom anymore)

Yeah, that should cover that list.

I have a ton of faves from SNES and Genesis as well, so I'll list forty, maybe of my top faves.

Sonic/2/3/Spinball (Spinball is insanely hard)

Super Mario Kart (the GBA version I like more)

Super Mario World/2

Kaizo Mario (Re-made SMW to be next to impossible, and frustrating as Hell)

Final Fantasy IV,V,VI (yes I know V was never released in US)

Chrono Trigger

Rock 'N' Roll Racing (The GBA version is better)

Hyperzone (an endless game)

Tetris and Dr. Mario (if you love either game then you would've picked this up too)

Aladdin (the first game I had when I owned an SNES)

Super Bomberman/2 (I've always had a love for these games though I'm not sure why)

Sailor Moon: Another Story (also known as Sailor Moon RPG)

Most of those were SNES games; right now some dumbass outside my bedroom is shouting at Odin knows what, and I cannot think straight.

Oh, yes, I love Atari games too. I've played a lot of them, and their later reincarnations as well.

Like Frogger. At one point, I was really good at it. Not so much on the reincarnation for the Play Station.

Hmmm...I love the old 32-bit games too, though I never really played much on Sega Saturn.

Some of my top faves on the Sony Play Station...(in no particular order)

Final Fantasy VII (it is one interesting, and complicated to fc game)

Tony Hawks' Pro Skater/2 (the second one introduced the Park Editor which I've always loved)

RPG Maker (they made something like 4,000 copies to be shipped to the US so it is quite a rare gem)

Gran Turismo/2 (some great music is on the second game including a Stone Temple Pilots song)

Ridge Racer/Revolution (a really great arcade style racing game)

Twisted Metal/2/III/4 (though the Twisted Metal Team left after 2-it was still overall a great series)

(Also, Twisted Metal III and 4 included a lot of great music, including several Rob Zombie tracks, and one from Sköld)

Final Fantasy Anthology - V/VI (though the translation to English for V did leave something to be desired, that and the graphics glitch that occurred every now and then when going to the save menu would corrupt your save files)

Casper (the mansion exploring game where you find morphs and try to make friends with the new guests)

Driver 2 (the game gets really hard close towards the end)

Intelligent Qube (the game where you mark spaces and clear incoming cubes while avoiding the ebony cubes)

Irritating Stick (you guide an electrified rod through a steel maze in a similar-to-Operation fashion-don't touch the sides!)

Medal of Honor/Underground (a first person shooter-you play through campaigns as designed to emulate World War II events)

Tenchu Shinobi Gaisen (the NTSC/J version with Mission Editor)

Akuji the Heartless (an adventure game that is bloody and brutal much like God of War)

Felony 11-79 (a driving game in which the more you destroy, the more money you earn and you can drive all sorts of wacky vehicles like dump trucks, city buses and even a Vespa scooter)

I think that's enough of a list.

When it comes down to the next generation, I'm more fond of Sony than any other, though there were some N64, GC, Xbox and some DS games I came to like.

As for the N64, I'm not too fond of it overall because of the controller design, but there were some great games I enjoyed playing.

The Gamecube's controller design was much more practical, making gaming that much better.

The Xbox swapped the d-pad and the left joystick locations, basically separating it from a PS2 controller (though at the time it only had two shoulder buttons rather than the PS2's four).

I didn't play the DS until much later, but for the fact that there are two screens to deal with, there were a lot of games I enjoyed.

As for the list of games themselves...

PS2:

The Guitar Hero series (I absolutely love Guitar Hero, love to sing Vocals even more)

Gran Turismo 4, Tourist Trophy (both are really fun and challenging games but I'm better at Tourist Trophy)

Spy Hunter (really hard until you get used to the controls and the gameplay but worth getting a 100% completion)

(The metal band Saliva made several contributions to the game)

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3/4 (the custom skaters are a great addition and the park editor is greatly improved)

Tony Hawk's Underground/2 (custom skaters and parks are even better, plus the ability to make your own tricks and goals is introduced)

(the soundtracks from all Tony Hawk games are super; Metallica contributed 'Whiplash' to Underground 2)

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (the first seamless-no loading screen skating game in the series)

(a lot of songs were covered by other artists)

Midnight Club/2/3-Remix (Street racing games are always fun)

Xbox:

Halo

Forza (though I like Gran Turismo more)

There are others, but none come to mind at the moment.

I think I'll end the faving here, simply because I don't want to take up a lot of room.

So, I'll end this with a question. What are your faves?

And if you have questions for me, feel free to ask. Unlike some people, I'm okay with being asked questions of any manner, and I'll do my best to answer them.

If you're going to ask for cheats/cheat codes for games, I'll reply via Private Message, since I don't want to clutter the forum board with a slightly unrelated topic.

Well, thanks for reading! Sorry it was a long one. lol

"Quite a few" is quite an understatement...

(nothing wrong with that, always fun to see people really appreciate video games)

Off the top of my head, some of my favorite games are:

Super Smash Bros Melee / Brawl

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Tales of Symphonia

Skies of Arcadia Legends

Breath of Fire 3

Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy IX

Mostly Gamecube and PS1.

Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, I've played them both but never owned (don't have a Wii).

I've played Breath of Fire III, but I was just borrowing it.

I wanted to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night but never got to.

I got to play like the first ten minutes of FF VIII, and I've never gotten to play FFIX.

There are many more games I love that I didn't list (you can see why). Not all of the games I love involve a controller and screen either.

 

[Dalph]

These are my favourite games and the ones that I enjoy playing the most, I play them over and over without never getting tired:

Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenogears, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Borderlands 2, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy Tactics, Bastion, Mass Effect 1-2-3, Starcraft 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Rayman Legends, Suikoden 2, Legend of Legaia, Wild Arms (the original), Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2, Grandia, Chrono Trigger.

Many of these, I know them by name, only a few of which I've played. FFT is another Final Fantasy I've not gotten to play.

 

[Clord]

Yeah you play other games too than only RPG Maker games. Developers usually don't play their development tools you know.


Anyway, you have a good taste. That said, Final Fantasy V is being sold in US too. Via digital distribution at least. Though it isn't the "original" SNES version but instead one of those graphically improved ones.

Lol Yes I realize how silly it sounds now. I meant to say that I use the software, and play games outside what can be created with the software.

I use other developing software too. I use Audacity, EOF (for creating song charts for Frets on Fire, Phase Shift, etc), and Notepad++.

Then there's Lunar Magic (for customizing SMW roms), and Epic Edit (for Super Mario Kart).

Lol Yeah, now it is, but not back in 1993. You had to wait until it came out on the Play Station and it was glitchy at best. The GBA version was a better translation.

Probably the one game I spent the most time on was Guitar Hero. Of course, I discovered that a lot of music I had heard in the past wasn't forgotten, and I learned more about it too. There was a certain group I loved for years, but until I played Guitar Hero 5, I didn't know who Thrice was. Then, there were many songs in that game I had heard when I was younger, but had no clue who they were until I got to re-listen to them.

Like that song by Blur, you know, the Woo-Hoo song. Song 2. I remembered that one, Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, Tom Petty's Runnin' Down A Dream, Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower (There must be some way out of here said the joker to the thief), Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil, among many others.

Through those games, I got into other music genres like power metal. I am a huge fangirl of Dragonforce now, and want all of their albums. I also discovered death metal, like Dethklok, Darkest Hour, Megasus, Drist, Artillery/Breaking Wheel, Children of Bodom (looooove them), and many others.

I also rekindled my love for classic rock, like Boston, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Motor City Five (MC5), and discovered new artists like King Crimson.

You could easily say that music has influenced my other hobbies as well.

 

[Clord]

My musical taste is more akin of game music and remixes of them. Also movie music when the music has been made for the movies originally. Oh yes and anime music and animated works music in general.

Ever heard of Vocaloid? I hear you can do all sorts of amazing things with that software.

I'd like to make custom animations of Final Fantasy character sprites and put them all together in a background video for Phase Shift (so it looks like they're performing the song along with the gameplay).

That is a really long list! Have you tried Shadow Hearts for the PS2? It might be really hit or miss but it's an RPG I've enjoyed a lot and gets overlooked from time to time. It's been years since I've played it and my PS2 is long gone but I have fond memories! I just got FF6 for my phone. I'm really enjoying the replay for it right now and they did pretty well for a phone port. 

Right now between "work" and school I only have room for one game. Mostly because I stream that game for my job at the moment but I'm scared I'd be hated off the forums here if I said the game. I'm sure everyone could guess easy since most Twitch streamers stream it.

Never heard of it. But just from the name of the title, it does sound interesting.

I am not much of a Twitcher, so I wouldn't have the slightest clue as to what you're talking about.

Likely, I'd not know of the game you're Twitching either. *shrug*

As for playing games on your phone, one of the dumbest ideas ever. As easily as smartphones can break, I'd never, not ever bother. Bleah.

@sweetladyamy I like that. 'Twitcher' and 'Twitching'. I have never ever heard that before but it made me smile. Commonly it's known as streaming and the person who does it is the streamer. I can understand if you steer clear of it because it might not be everyone's cup of tea. There are some wonderful communities that are worth checking out if you find the right streamer/game just in case you change your mind someday!

Shadow Hearts is a horror RPG with a little bit of a different twist on the combat system. You have a circle that spins with small colored areas in it. If you time it right you can get strong crits and such if you get it within the color. The story line isn't amazing but the characters are easy to like. Combat doesn't get stale too quick. They also try to twist history into a bit of a darker state.

I've never really broken my phone before. I normally keep it in a case and am very careful with it. The touch screen on it can be a tad annoying but I find myself enjoying it. Plus it was only $14 and that's a pretty good trade for the hours of play I'm going to get from it.

It's not that I 'steer clear', it's more or less, I don't really know anyone who does. That sounds like a really cool game, after you described it. The only phones I find for that amount are the crappy throwaways that do absolutely nothing, but then again, I just have a lot of bad luck with finding good deals I guess. Either that or it's for another reason I won't discuss here, but in private if you want to know.
