Guest Fondas Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 Guys, you <u>DO</u> understand that you've just hijacked the first decent thread a new member has created since... WWII ! I'm serious about this.... Jem, welcome aboard ! You are right about the old LA's games, especially the Adventures ( and not RPG's as you have wrongly stated ) Great graphics and 3D sound cannot substitute for lack of gameplay. ------------------ "No matter how pretty the bait, a hook is still a hook !"

Air Juggernaut Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 Dark Forces was the best Star Wars game for me, Jedi Knight is good but don´t have the ambience of DF, the creativity of the DF levels and the background music of DF. Dark Forces ROCKS!!! ------------------ Also knowed as Kanon Let get those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted November 20, 2000 Author Share Posted November 20, 2000 Fondas I'm glad to know I'm not the only one to think the way I do.... Oh yeah and you're right, I meant Adventure games not RPG (I was half asleep when I wrote it) I hope one of those Lucas Arts responsibles gets to read this and realize how "good graphics and sound" made them forget how to do good games as I said before: THE FUN WENT AWAY ALONG WITH THE PIXELS !

Jem Posted November 21, 2000 Author Share Posted November 21, 2000 sigh, the decent replies for this topic are minimum guess most people forgot what a fun game was and are blinded by good graphics and sound.... almost everyone I know judges a game by it's look and when they buy it they say "oh, bouhou this game actually sucks and I have no money left!" Never rate a game by the way it looks NEVER ! as I said befor and will say 4 ever: THE FUN WENT AWAY ALONG WITH THE PIXELS ! I'm really disapointed in the evolution, or should I say the "dismantling" of games... Jem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zraii Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 Jem is right, I love playing the old games from LA. The graphics in games aint everything. A lot though, but not everything. And that I think includes even in movies. I don't think TPM was that all Star Wars movie. Yes it was a good movie but not as the original ones. And that mostly, I think, is cause of all the digitalizing in TPM. It didn't feel real. And even worse EP2 will be full digitized. /Zraii ------------------ "Control unruly portions of the Galaxy through a fear of force, rahter than actual force itself." ---------------------- http://opt.alliacehq.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted November 21, 2000 Author Share Posted November 21, 2000 True Zraii, very true.... Episode 1 was a real disapointment compared to the first 3 star wars... especially that goofy character in the movie..forgot the name...he was an alien that was suppose to be funny, he spoiled the entire movie...

Jem Posted November 21, 2000 Author Share Posted November 21, 2000 when I said "forgot the name" I meant to say that alien's name and not the name of the movie ( it's SW episode one....duh!!) ....think it was Jar Jar or something like that and "Poor Bastard" I can't see the use of you're pointless quote. back to the main topic, LA should like do a poll betwen old LA games and the new ones, I think that they'll find out that Great graphics and 3D sound cannot substitute for lack of gameplay.

Nute Gunray Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 I think all old games suck.

Jem Posted November 22, 2000 Author Share Posted November 22, 2000 I have more fun playing Tie Fighter than X Wing Alliance TF is the best flight game that LA has come up with... Nute Gunray you're eyes hurt because u have been blinded by "good graphics", I'm sure you don't bother playing games that don't use 3DFX.....well correct me if I'm wrong, If I'm right than u should try these games that hurt you're eyes more often because they r the best that have been created (FUN IS GARANTED) especially for "Days of the tentacle" Jem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thrawn Posted November 22, 2000 Share Posted November 22, 2000 It was pretty good. My team one 2 out of 5 games. We lost because two seniors didn't show, so I was bumped up from the captain of B team to being on A team. ------------------ "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -Ben Franklin ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the music SUCKS!!! That even include XvT and all the others with CD music playing. Its more fun that u hear when the imperials arrives, for example, in the original X-Wing game. I even remembered the first time i bought X-Wing. I remember asking the clerk if it really was that good graphics. I also remember that the game cost about 649sek abd that would be about $60 i think. It was a long time ago. /Zraii ------------------ "Control unruly portions of the Galaxy through a fear of force, rahter than actual force itself." ---------------------- http://opt.alliacehq.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted November 22, 2000 Author Share Posted November 22, 2000 Thrawn what r u talking about? for me music, sound and graphics are not important in a game, GamePlay is the important stuff, Gameplay! --------- THE FUN WENT AWAY ALONG WITH THE PIXELS !

GUNNER Posted November 22, 2000 Share Posted November 22, 2000 I never played XvsT but I loved Dark Forces. the levels were cool and the guns were awesome. I haven't played it in about 7 months though. I should load it on the ol 933 and she what she can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, XWA has the best of both worlds. The one thing that was great about X-Wing was that you could pick your wingmen in the original game, and they took that out of X-wing 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
