Gaming moments

Another moment I'll never forget is in a Target kiosk.. when I first laid hands on the Nintendo 64 analog stick and ran Mario around in a circle. Staggering.

Agreed.

Playing Ocarina of Time for the first....time. It's still the ultimate defining moment for me. From the intro of Link and Epona riding around the fields, to the ending of the game.

Also agreed.

The N64 was my favorite system of all time, mostly because of the two aforementioned moments.
 
Another crappy moment is when its thundering and lighting outside and your power goes out when your at the end of a game! To top it off you didn't save.
 
Hmmm, gaming moments.

Got my N64 for Christmas, got Star Fox with it and played it to death. Controlling the ship with an analog stick was so cool to me.

Playing Mario with the analog stick and, as said before, runing in circles.

Playing Zelda OoT for the first time.

Playing FF VII on a demo disc over and over.

Beating MGS for the first time.

Sorry for the lack of detail.

Wow..just shows you that the game is really that good! I don't even think I even played the demo for FFVII, one of my buddy wanted to trade with me MGS for FFVII (to borrow) and that's how I got hooked on FFVII.
 
hmmm......

Fighting the End in MGS3.
Fighting the Boss in MGS3.
Almost about everytime I played FFVII.
the end of Final Fantasy X.
Watching my cousin play Super Mario Wolrd on the Super Nintendo for the first time. :D
 
The End has to be one of the most annoying and hardest bosses ever! That guy can put some stress on you.
 
yeah,Super Mario World is a top 5 game of all time.

But I was listening to Coldplay while playing Perfect Dark,and I was down by 32 with a little over 8 minutes to go.There were two songs left on the cd(close to what was left on my game) and I had to outscore the team ahead of me by 4 kills per minute.During the last 10-15 seconds of the song,I finally took the lead and then the CD had finished.This was a very long game,and I had been working my tail off(Laugh out loud)to come back,so I was extremely happy
 
I remember playing Golden Eye and Perfect Dark all the time. In Golden Eye I would always go to the archive level and just kill the two gaurds in the room you start in, then make a stand off there and see how long I could last. I found that if you don't leave that room, there is an unlimited number of baddies that try to come in and kill you.

In Perfect Dark I would find as many laptop machine guns as I could then run to a corner and throw them out and defend myself there.

:lol

I used to make 2-3 perfect sims on one team, and as many meatsims as I could make on my team, and then just hold up in a room and see how long we could last. I'd also gather, as you did, laptop machine guns to help us out. For some reason, it was an intense amount of fun.
 
Why couldn't more multiplayers be like that? I mean, yeah its great to be online now, but I would still like to see a mode with bots, especially different kinds of bots, to play against.

Correct me if there are games like this currently.

I dont use the Laptop,it ruins the fun if you win because the sentry gun does way too much of the work.If I want a even greater challenge than I normally do,Ill stick Pefect and Darksim on the same team with Speedsim on mine,with two other competitive teams of three and rampage for about 45 minutes until Ive done enough to work Perfect and Darksim's
 
You know, I love playing Super Mario Bros with some sort of 80s music in the background. It just reminds me of when I was a kid.

Super Mario and some Cure, Tears for Fears, When in Rome, etc... 8)
 
Here's something to do......

Put on some death metal (or anything where you can't understand the freakin' words!!!) and play God of War. :rockin

Or just put in Jaws Unleashed and see how long you can last before destryoing that poor excuse for a videogame!! :hh
 
It's always fun to take on 8-10 bots with 2-3 friends in a game. In Conker: Live and Reloaded you could pit 2 human players against a ridiculous amount of bots, but even with system linking you couldn't get more than 2 people to play against bots. In my opinion that was the greatest mistake Rare made with that game. 4 human controlled players against 20 bots on dumbed down AI would have been ridiculously fun.

That reminded me of Goldeneye on the N64. Get four buddies together and shoot the heck outta eachother all day long. Great fun... :D
 
Do you not like a challenge or are shooting games not your thing?

Well, 4 vs. 20 is challenging enough for me. :lol

Personally, if I'm not playing an online game with real people, I like to feel smarter than the average bear. I have nothing against a challenging game against CPU controller players, but ultimately I realize that turning the difficulty up on bots doesn't help me improve my game, or help me to improve my strategies and ability to out-think my opponent, it just means that a CPU bot is gonna get a headshot on me every time I see him, simply because he is a computer and will not miss. To me, that's not fun, that's just frustrating. I can even set up a perfectly good ambush in order to catch the CPU off guard, but being a computer whose AI is tied in directly with every part of the game, there is no "suprising" him at all. Actual tactics and strategies go out the window, and it turns into a game of repetitive strafing battles.

Plus, slaughtering the opponent is fun. I like going into a mutliplayer match knowing I'm going to win one on one battles nearly every time, but I do also enjoy a tactical challenge, so to even things out I add more playres to the other team and ensure that one on one battles happen a lot less frequently.

I guess to me, defeating an opponent by distracting him while a well placed sentry gun does the dirty work is more of an accomplishment than simply lining up my crosshairs on his head quicker. Especially when I know quite well if a CPU bot wanted to he could get a headshot on me quicker every time.
 
I like 1st-person shooters...as long as they a K-i-l-l-z-o-n-e or h-a-l-o in the name........
