Favorite video game? (Page 2 of 6)

Yeah, its an awesome game. Dying to see some more stuff on ODST. Sadly, the most we've seen of it is concept art. Though it is fully playable, and dialog is being finished.

Halo hardly deserves the M rating. Language is mild, blood nearly non-existent. The Flood are the worst part, but most above 10 should be able to handle it.

I love Sims 2! Any Sim game, really, is great.

As for 2D games, I love the Atari 2600 my husband fixed up. It has a special place in the bedroom. (cause that tv works better, we found that hd tvs don't work for something that old something about frame rates and flickering or something, made it almost impossible to play games like millipede) And speaking of millipede, I made 128,000 back in July, which is only 12,000 points away from the world record high score.

And of course I still play the NES and SNES, I have the SW game for NES and SuperSW and SuperESB for the SNES. I suck at the ESB game, it's very hard, I've never even made it to the wampa. But on the SuperSW one I made it to the Death Star! On the SW one I made it to the asteroids and then I always die there.

I think my husband would simply explode if we couldn't play 2d games. We even have a spare atari he's going to fix up for when the one we already have dies.

And on Halo I think you have to be 16 to buy it. I remember cause I was trying to buy one of them for my brothers years back (they're both younger than me) and I was days from being 16 but the lady wouldn't sell it to me. I don't see that it's that bad a game. I don't play it, but I think, like what you said up there, that the flood are the scariest part. Personally I think the flood are awesome. (remember, I don't know anything about this game, I just saw these things and asked my brothers what they were and they told me)

M  is 17+.

And yeah, the flood would be the scariest part, but its simply an issue of maturity. It really isn't that bad in game, but the concept is terrifying.

Well, I think they up the rating a little sometimes to be extra careful. The average teen might not find Halo to be especially disturbing, the parents might blow a fuse or two at the game (remember, this is the world where a lot of people said that, despite the rating, you shouldn't take someone under 16 to see The Dark Knight). And you have the not-average teen, who even at 16 couldn't play 10 minutes of Halo without freaking out.

So yeah, I think they up ratings a bit higher to be careful. Case in point, Star Fox Assault is rated T. Now, Krystal is fully clothed in this game, so skimpy tribal clothes are a non issue. The characters never cuss. There isn't any blood either (not even super fake green blood). Doesn't seem like it could possibly be rated T then, can it? But it is. My only guess to why is that the explosions are more realistic then they were in Star Fox 64.

I've never played Sims 2. I can't just understand the game, or is it just because I've only seen when my friend plays it. My brother gave me one The Sims game, but it doesn't work on my computer, so I really don't know what are they like.

Oh, yes, I already know about Sims 3. I'm so excited, I can't wait.

I used to love to play games when I was younger. But, money is pretty tight so I gave up. But some classics that I played repeatedly are Starwars BF1 and 2. The Sims, GTA series, and the Midnight Club series.

I must be very old school. My favorite video game is Ms. Pac Man

Halo 1,2,3, Super Mario World, Starfox 64, Super Mario Bros., Pac-Man, DBZ: Burstlimit, Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault, Star Fox Command, Battlefront I and II, Space Invaders...

Got Sims 3 now!

It's good to keep up-to-date and as a creator I'll get a chance to share once again.

It's always exciting to try a new version of a game you know and "get lost" in it again, with all the new possibilities. But the sims themselves look different too.

I'm bringing a comparison, so you can see and judge for yourself.

Victor is one of my custom-made personal sims. It's the very first I had made in The Sims 2, and here is a pic of how he looks like in that game :

Now here's Victor as I could make him in Sims 3. I spent several hours trying to make him look the same, as much as possible, and this is as close as I could come:

The graphics in general are a lot smoother in Sims 3, but is it better? I don't know, I think it's a bit too blurry, too smooth. It makes it harder to control when you shape a sim's face, as you don't have the same tools at all. I liked some details and strenght of lines that he had in Sims 2 that I couldn't reproduce with the tools of Sims 3, like for the frame of eyebrows, the shape of his cheeks and shape of his eyes. His hair is very different too. The hairmesh he is using in Sims 2 doesn't exist anymore in Sims 3. And as you can see, for Sims 3 still, hair textures are very smooth, kinda blurry.
