And for Mister Mosquito:
This was actually pretty awful but whenever I think about the kind of lovable weirdness that Japanese games used to provide (and don't any more), this is always the one that pops into my head. Rubbish gameplay, rubbish visuals, rubbish presentation, but a fun enough idea that none of those even mattered really. You had to bite a girl on the boob while she was alseep in the bath! When one of the humans spotted you and got angry and tried to kill you, you had to calm them down by bumping into specific pressure points around their bodies!

http://i.imgur.com/IL869.jpg# 86 - Front Mission 4 - 8 Points - 1 Vote
FUN GAME: See if you can apply the Front Mission 4 quote to the ilXor!
1. I feel like after subjecting myself to 2 hours each of Front Mission 4 and XenoSaga I can deal with just about anything, as long as it's not that
2. Front Mission 4 was ASS
3. Front Mission 4. It's awful.
4. still disappointed that front mission 5 never came stateside
5. Front Mission 4 has exactly 100% no fantasy bullshit in it at all. If you ever wanted to play a square enix tactical take on a sort of masamune shirow mecha universe, it's pretty good.
6. Amnesia and orphans may be a cheap cliche but I'd play 1000 of those games before I'd try anything remotely resembling the aforementioned Xenosaga/Front Mission garbage ever again.
7. Sometimes the options are kind of useless, though, I mean they exist but what's the fucking point? This is why I hate Front Mission 4 SO MUCH.

Challops time; I think this might be the best 3d platformer ever made. Better than Psychonauts, better than Mario 64. I never did quite complete it - I can't remember why. - Craig G.
what's up with the new ratchet game? how did they get rid of clank? and why? is he with daxter now? has anyone actually played jak & daxter? or just jak? are they the same game? - s1ocki
Jak and Daxter pretty fun if you're into that - Nick A.
the first jak and daxter is really excellent. The second two seemed too aggro for my tastes. - polyphonic

Fun gameplay mechanics. Like bouncing around really high at a neato Italian city, being a thief crawling around dodging stuff, etc... Great cartoony graphics - Captainlorax

Jak and Daxter 1 is basically Super Mario 64 with Crash Bandicoot's moveset.

I'll prob. start the new thread of 85 thru 51 or so tomorrow. I gotta grind out some more banners around 50 so hopefully I don't stall out too hard :o

I am playing through the Jak HD Collection right now, currently near the end of Jak II, and oh man, there were some seriously bad decisions made with this series.

Decisions undoubtedly informed by the fact that GTA is making a lot of money, oh yes.
At some point though, someone undoubtedly said "extreme" with a straight face, and a guitar squeal materialised out of nowhere, haunting all present.
