GTA 4 was so boring. Stupid game "journalists".

Surely not as boring as Oblivion?

I started yet another game of Oblivion a few days back and already I've moved on to something else.

Actually, I'm playing FFVI for the SNES. LOL

Actually, I'm not that keen on FFVII. Wink

FF9 is better.

I never played Oblivision, but Morrowind was as boring as GTA4 so I assume it transfers. It would have been better if the combat wasn't god awful.
 
I meant to buy FFVI for the PS1 but I never got around to it. I'd be buying Baldur's Gate 2 before it anyway, which I also meant to buy like six months ago. Somehow the price has gone up since then.

I have FFVI for PS but it's not mine.  I meant to give it back about 6 years ago. LOLEmbarrassed  Along with the PS, as that isn't mine either.

I'm actually playing the original Japanese version for the Super Famicom but translated into English.  It's better than the US Edition and hasn't had bits cut out.  Plus the translation is better too. Big smile

Morrowind is better than Oblivion.  However, it's still boring.  Just not as boring as Oblivion.

GTA's problem is that it wants to be Crackdown with a linear narrative.
That's the videogame equivalent of the God/freewill argument.

I must say, GTA in its original form appealed to me much more.  The birdseye view worked better for my taste.

However, it still wasn't my kind of game.  Instead of choosing fast cars, I always jumped in a Messerschmitt Bubble Car. LOL

It hurts me how nerdy this sentence is. Once you're viewing media in the original Japanese I think it's time to reassess your life. ;-)
 
I hate how terrible the internet has made me at spelling.

Ah but the US version has been cut and apparently there are bits of conversation and stuff missing too.

And I'm playing it in English, not Japanese.

Clap I am learning Japanese, but I like it because how it sounds and its history.
This is not how it should be:

Don't  bother Harry.
 
Well I guess the question is how hard is it to get the Japanese import? Because the effort expended is what's important.
 
By the way, what is the deal with those $45 deluxe mini-LP sleve Japanese versions of albums? Why do they exist?

Neither have I.

I think the last version I played was the first one.  I've seen my next door neighbour play San Andreas though.

Most people I know who have it just stick it on to kill people and don't bother with the story and other bits.  They just get home from work and want to take out their anger on something.

Kos, learning the language is not the same as being weaboo. But I've never had much patience for anime or the Japanese method of gaming, so maybe I'm being culturally biased.
 
But I think everyone is culturally biased. I should make a pseudo-intellectual thread about it and see how many pages I can get.

It's called a ROM.  Then you apply the translated patch.  Fire up your friendly SNES Emulator and you're good to go. Wink

I don't think it's possible to translate the actual Super Famicom original and play it on a SNES.

No idea about those mini-LPs but I am glad that that Japanese company re-released those Art Zoyd albums (officially too).

It's a shame they're expensive though.

Ammo limited games are annoying because then I always have to revert to the god awful melee weapon. Condemned is the only game I have played that pulled that off well, but Condemned was fun.
