I Just Couldn't Do It!
<div class="IPBDescription">Sorry DooMy</div> I had the money, I walked into the shop, I asked for the Cube and MGS:TS..
But they had no TS. Or RE. Or RE:0.
Undeterred I said I'd be back.
I was.
It still wasn't there. So I browsed the GC games section... and couldn't find anything that would hold my attention. S'ok, I thought, I'll have the 3 sweet games to play. The it hit me that I've not touched an RE game in many months, I've already beaten MGS, and that I'd spend a weekend playing all the games nonstop and just end up PO'ed and annoyed for buying a pricey console that I would in all likelihood never play again.
Even the controller irks me.
But I love MGS and RE!!
So I don't understand what's wrong. In the end I couldn't even buy a PC or PS2 game - I had to settle for over 100 pounds of DVDs. Whats wrong with me folks?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Aw, jeez, what else... common, i know there's something else!
No, no. There's nothing else. Only Metroid Prime.
ARGHH! I wish i had bought a Xbox instead... Then again... No, NO! I should've bought a XBOX. It has INTERNET, and a HARDRIVE.. and.. a... a...

I hate technology. Why can't they just make one standard console and just make games for it?!? <i>WHY!?!</i> <b>WWWHHHYYYY!!??!!</b>

ditto.
Certainly they are all good games, but <i>some</i> things have been reused; too slight of a feeling of "been there - done that". And yes, even a "slight" feeling of deja-vu can alter a game experiance.
How many times has [monster] popped up from the usual [area]?
How many [monster] have i killed?
How many times have i entered [insert mode here IE: "bullet-time"]?
Why did i buy this game <i>again</i>?
w-9 so its gotta be good.
<a href='http://www.amazon.com' target='_blank'>www.amazon.com</a> is where you get everything else.
doesn't everyone know that by now? :o
The X-Box and Gamecube. If anything goes on multi-console release I get it for my X-Box. If anything goes on Gamecube exclusive I get it for the GC (duh!)
Etc
Retail stores don't stock very well, which forces you to buy online, which makes stocking worse, which... yeah. Down the hole right there.
Between SB:Melee and Mario Kart:DD, you'll have enough 4-player action to keep you occupied for a long time. Party games, woohoo!
I already am getting the X-Box version without even getting an X-Box yet. The game is that good!
Viewtiful Joe doesn't do it for me either.
Granted Metroid Prime rocks.... but its a FPS.. and without online MP I find FPS games boring (for this I blame NS... I mean who wants to play the computer when you can hammer half a dozen server monkeys and laugh like a madman on teamsay???).
I don't think its just the Cube, as the store has an excellent range of games all round... its just games in general - I'm sick of single player, its all the same things over and over.
That and that hideous gamepad, holy hell, I thought the N64 one was unwieldy enough, boy was I fooled.
As for controllers, different people different tastes I guess; the N64 had the most comfortable controller I've ever had in my lil hands, the GC one isn't too bad either ^^
<b>Edit:</b> I'm pretty bored of the usual crop of games these days myself, but if you're really bothered about it you should try getting into modding. Failing that try weird but wonderful titles such as Harvest Moon, Megaman Battle Network Series (1-4 all the gameboy advance and unlike any game you've probably played) and... well I'm sure there's more =P
SSX 3, Twin Snakes, RE 1 and Zero, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros and the sheer brilliance of Rocky have kept me entertained for many hours.
I also have Wind Waker, and while enjoyable and full of eye candy, I still haven't clocked it due to the sailing boring me to tears.
I would play it an awful lot, but I dunno.... modding is just frustrating for me atm because I'm struggling, but we're sorting that out in our little forum. Only thing really griefing me is the samey gameplay that I get with non-online play.
Roll on MGS3 - New scenery, new gimmicks, never boring.
Oh, and I'll be ok by the end of the month - Hitman Contracts will see me through, hehe.
