Ditto. You will always have far more crappy games than gems. There were something like 1000 NES games made. How many of those are memorable? I could probably make a list of 50. Maybe 100 at the very most.

Oh, they COULD release the game as-is in America but the problem is that not many big electronics stores will put something so risque on shelves. You'd be going to smaller, independent stores to get the game - or be forced to order it online.

Smaller,... independent stores.... like Porn shops?

In my town we have a sex store called the "College Bookstore", but, in fact, you cannot buy any sort of college textbook there. I've only been there like twice, and the people there (especially the help) looked like they're on heroin and coke. Even if such a place sold this game I don't think I'd want to go to that particular place to buy it.

As far as independent stores go I can't think of any here that specialize in video games. We pretty much just have the chains, like EB, Gamestop, Best Buy, Circuit City, and so on. Maybe the numerous computer shops would pick something like that up but I doubt it.

Games have been good, but they haven't been great. This generation will not have a single memorable game, execpt maybe final fantasy 10, Metroid Prime 1(and 2), and maybe the new Zelda game. No one will mention any of the Xbox games, and I think that Xbox is just a fad that will pass away soon. (How many serious gamers own an Xbox?)

The only people that I know that own an X-Box are not hard core gamers. They usually have a few sports games, and the likes, and one guy that I know has the mod chip, so he doesn't even buy games anymore.

The only game that is worth anything that is on the X-Box, is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but I have that on the computer, so no worries.

Actually, Leg has an X-Box....so, yea, just him.

The only game that is worth anything that is on the X-Box, is the DOA Beach Volley thing.

Oh yeah, Kyouji, since you are a Nintendo fanboy, you have no right to punch people.

Oh yea! that Volley Ball game is like Smash Bros Melee on the XBox and by that I mean the replayability and fun. Did you think I ment it was an action packed fighting game? Youre crazy!

I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, I just hate RPGs. Nothing wrong with action RPGs, though. They're awesome.

Some of the recent games have been excellent, although I still prefer old school games like dkc series adn all those mario games from nes and snes.

And i have kazaa lite, i can download the entire playboys by free in it

I know someone who's a 'hardcore' gamer. 20 24-packs of M. Dew, 2+ Xboxes and PS2's, tons of games for each, and practically locked in his room all day playing FF 11 and/or other games over XBLive or whatever the PS2 uses.

Not only that but he's an adult, too. He's pretty damn insane

Dunno about insane. I like to have a soft drink and play games for long stretches of time once in a blue moon, but... Not locking myself in my room to do so.

He have a job?

Nintendo have no clue how to make regular RPGs. So they just release 345749085 Zelda games along with other "action RPGs".
