Heartless

Is it possible to get rid of the option that automatically makes YouTube links display as media? I wanted to link to a bunch of songs in a post in the game soundtracks thread, but I can only link two at a time before the board tells me I'm linking too many media files.

And a separate post for Chrono Cross, since I can't post more than two YouTube links in a single post because they automatically are linked as videos and you can only post two videos... I have more I want to share but I don't want to get banned for hatchposting so maybe later.

So of course I come up with this long-ass post and my browser crashes and can't recover it. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU- My favorites have to be Soul Calibur II and Chrono Cross, by a mile. From Soul Calibur II... (The volume on this video is kinda high, so be careful with that) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7632BWfoxQ

Yeah, Christmas. Once he's done with single-player he'll probly hop online.

staySICK, add me to your PSN friends list. Not to mention the fact that they projected that "twist" way ahead of time and it was very thinly veiled. I also was highly annoyed by the torture scene in Hong Kong...you shove glass in this guy's mouth and punch him in the face and 20 seconds later he can speak just fine? Yeah, okay.

One of my friends is getting the GoTY edition, I'll probly end up playing again with him...I'll definitely hit you up then.

With the exception of a week during October, I've never once had a problem with Uncharted 2's online...which obviously means you're a liar. Die in a fire, liar.

@hot heart: Yeah I've been meaning to start topics like that but never did...I guess I can start one tonight or tomorrow.

Now here's a list of my 9 favorites. Some of 'em I'm less strongly tied to than others, but they're all faves (not really in any kind of order). I also feel like I'm forgetting some really obvious ones, but what can ya do... Final Fantasy VII - (also on my most influential list) Metal Gear Solid 3 - I always have to think about this one, because I also adore MGS1 to an insane degree. In the end, I give it up to Snake Eater just because there's more to it. The story is more fleshed-out, and the ridiculousness is there but isn't overwhelming. There's a lot to the gameplay (almost too much when it comes to having to heal yourself up), the game is fucking incredible-looking, and it basically epitomizes all of Kojima's strengths. Uncharted 2 - This game is just fun in every sense of the word. The story isn't revolutionary but it's extremely well-told, the characters are interesting, the music is great, and it nails that feeling of spontaneity that I enjoy. I can just choose any chapter and have a great time with it. Streets of Rage 2 - I've never played any brawler as much as this game. Whether it's coop or solo, the game is gorgeous, smooth, and its music is catchy as hell (probly my fave soundtrack from the 16-bit days). Final Fight had nothing on it. Parasite Eve - (also on my most influential list). The feeling of isolation in the city was also pretty incredible, and the soundtrack was outright amazing. Yoko Shimomura did an excellent job setting the right tone for every moment of the game. The gameplay is a bit gimmicky and not as deep as other games, but it works within the structure of Parasite Eve well and is interesting because of its focus on Aya's positioning than anything else. Chrono Cross - (also on my most influential list) Sonic the Hedgehog - Mario may have set the tone for my gaming-addicted life, but Sonic was probly the first game that made me feel like an unstoppable badass. It had the right mix of platforming and flat-out speed that Sonic games have such a hard time with today. Devil May Cry - I wasn't big into action games before this one, and it still remains one of my favorites. Compared to later games, it's a bit simpler, but it has the best setup (creepy castle, creepy courtyard, creepy coliseum, Hell), the best bosses, and the best music (before the lameass Metal took over). Dante's also pretty fucking cool in it, without being hilariously overstated. Shadow of the Colossus - (also on my most influential list)

I play on occasion...it has a small but really cool community now. I tend to stick to co-op, but if I hear about a fun Lab playlist, I'll jump in.

I loved this topic...here's a list of my nine most influential. I'm gonna do one that's just faves later on. 1. Final fantasy VII - I've been a gamer since I was really young, but FFVII is the one that turned me into the monster I am today. It was one of the first games that really sold me on videogame storytelling, and the first where I really identified with more than one character. 2. Metal Gear Solid - Another huge influence on me in terms of videogame storytelling...like FFVII, it's affected my view on every movie and story I've experienced since, and will continue to do so in the future. 3. Chrono Cross - This is probly the one that will get the most flak on my list. Don't care. It may be the bastard child of Chrono Trigger, but everything about this game worked for me: the epic story that pans out about a boy from a small seaside village; the ballin' battle system; the liveliness and influence of every culture imaginable in the artwork; and the music...dear god, the music. 4. Shadow of the Colossus - What can I really say about this game that hasn't already been said? NOTHING. 5. ICO - see: 4. 6. Super Mario Bros. 3 - I used to play this before and after school every day for, like...ever. 7. Soul Calibur II - Never looked at a fighting game the same way since this one. Still listen to and enjoy the soundtrack, as well...to the point where I did a documentary on videogame music as my Audio Production final project because more people need to hear music like this. 8. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The game itself is great, but the 80s theme pushed this one over the edge. The world was just perfectly designed. 9. Parasite Eve - Not the greatest game ever, but it did a lot to push storytelling in games, as well as trim a lot of the fat off of the typical RPG mold. It was refined and very mature (and not in the "guts and titties" kinda way). Also, it had a legitimately strong heroine, not the Bloodrayne-style crap of today.

Listening to my brother play Geara of War 2.

In case you couldn't tell from lack of response...it's just you. =P

I know, I just wanted to bitch about them somewhere. They are...just the worst. The worst.

That works, but for the price of plans I usually suck it up (oh ho ho) and carry around more than one device if I think I'll actually be needing/wanting to use apps. Should change when I pick up my new company cell tomorrow...

I like how it is in God of War 3 or Uncharted 2 where the game is seamless once it loads up. More games like that would be sweet.

Load times. That counts, right? ...right?

Forget about that...date plans are overpriced and no one really wants to be carrying around more than one device.

Awwww yeahhhhhhhh. Online splitscreen would be epic, too.

Doesn't matter because you're not getting flanked after opening fire and you have the satisfaction of knowing that your constant destroying tanks is really pissing people off. PLUS YOU SNEAKY RIKE NINJA

Tool kits, rockets, silenced weapons. Hell-oooo. What do you play as?

Dean, what in the holy fuck does it matter? Stay on-topic, bro!

I absolutely love Bad Company 2...online. The single-player is such a stiff, boring shitfest it's honestly kind of off-putting. I love playing as an Engineer. Anyone else on PSN feel free to add and invite me.

I usually don't get hyped up about games until weeks before their release, but I dunno...I have a major hard-on for anything Team Ico.

I thought it was just me but there are news reports surfacing about the 1.04 patch utterly breaking the PS3's multiplayer. I can get into a game on my own, but the moment I try to host/join a party the game locks up, freezes, boots me from games, gets me stuck on loading screens. Like, holy shit. The PS3 version had a problem with migrating hosts before but now everything is just hopelessly broken. What the fuck. I can only play online without a party, or play Zombies.
