Ammo is sparse? Are we playing the same game? Every single enemy you kill has ammo on them.

I take that back come to think about it
The ammo in Halo 3 ODST version the enemies are a lot tougher and ammo is vary hard to find, but HALO 3 ODST is not the same as Halo 3. SO far I only played HALO 1 and Halo 3 ODST. I remember the Halo 3 ODST the enemies take hundreds of lasers guns and ammo to defeat and their are lots of those kinds of enemies

Ammo in that game has you scouring for ammo continuously

General / The Best And The Worst Of Video Game Boss Fights

« on: January 24, 2018, 03:17:55 pm »

Some games require a strategy other then to shoot the boss in order to defeat them, some video game boss fights are one hit kills and then game over. So which games had the best and worst of the boss character. Personally I have no favorite boss that I never was able to figure out how to beat them and move on in the game, or end the game. So name some of the best and worst boss fights of all time.

I usally like the bosses you shoot at, but in duke nukem 64 the second boss fight takes place in a small room and with no big guns in order to defeat him. If I had more rockets I would not mind this boss fight as much. but shooting this boss requires depletion of all ammo and still no way to defeat him in which turned me off of that N64 game

The series is average at best and in my opinion not worth all the hype it gets when there are much better games in the fps genre.

I've noticed the levels and section are mostly copied and pasted to make Halo 1 Combat Evolved longer, the level design is kinda bad in my opinion and I have not finished the game yet. I also discovered a bug sometime in my game play that involved a one hit death and the health bar had full shields and health. I can't enough agree the levels could have been more detailed instead of each room with the same textures everything is blue in mid way through the game. I have not made it to the flood levels yet. Or a boss fight that I can imagine is probably cheap

utter garbage

Ammo is sparse in which what I don't like about what seems to be the entire halo franchise. (edit) only Halo 3 ODST

General / Your Opinions of the Xbox Halo Series

I was going to save this discussion after I complete Halo: Combat Evolved but could't wait to finish the game before making a thread about the series in general. I never actually played a halo game through it's single player campaign as of this post, but I am sorta enjoying the first game now that I am actually playing. It is a nice change from Playing Call Of Duty and other First Person Shooters I already played through. I own an Xbox 360 slim. And so far I really enjoy my play through of Halo 1 Combat evolved. I plan to buy Halo 2 in the near future.

 If I do get Halo 2 then I would already own a vast majority of the series. I got all the other ones minus the Xbox One Halos so far.

The Halo Series is only a PC and Xbox console title but most of you already know this

I am not the person who even thinks to track a persons wealth I am not a robber and I don't think anyone will rob anyone. Sorry for the 2 worst threads in the general section.
 I am not a fly who asks for money I never will ask for any money I am not trying to be a troll I am not selling anything or looking for someone to pick on

ignore this thread or lock it if you think it is offensive. Please forgive the first post. I may be asking too personal of a question like last time

Your posts aren't out of line or offensive nor terrible .   I never thought you were trying to ask for money or pick on people.  It was just a question about what people spend on games.  I thought it was a good thread topic. 

thank you @Marvelscapcom2  I like and read your posts as well too

(EDIT)
NOT A SALES THREAD I AM NOT PLANNING ON SELLING ANYTHING

For me? I don't like to get anything over $30.00 used. My most expensive game in my collection I think is Zelda Ocarina Of Time N64 $30.00 lose and Banjo Towie. I managed to find Banjo Towie Complete In Box for $30.00 with the original price being $60.00 CIB. the rest of my games are used under $30.00 as far as I remember

I have wanted to get into the Forza series for a while, but the last one I played was 3. I heard they are pretty good, especially the Horizon series, but who knows.

I've heard of the forza series on Xbox, though I never played it I over heard that Forza 2 is when that series started to shine

as for Gran Turismo stay away from "Gran Turismo 3 A Spec" that game is pointless to work for since there is not many cars to play with. I own the first 4 Gran Turismo games and I don't like "Gran Turismo 3 A Spec" much at all. if you feel brave enough you can buy Gran Turismo 2 for PlayStation 1 for cheap and it is well worth the puchase it is cheap as of (1-17-2018)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000034DC7/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1516224859&sr=8-1&keywords=gran+turismo+2+ps1

best played on PlayStation 3 where you can create a built in memory card and have the maximum number of cars while going on a budget. The PS1 memory cards are expensive and are a waste of money in my case.

PS all gran turismo games have both arcade mode and simulation game play at least 1,2 and 4. but Gran turismo 2 is suppose to come with 2 cds one for arcade and one for simulation.

Gran Turismo 1 comes with only 1 disc

 I used to volunteer at my high school store. before school started. Selling pop candy and chips and eventually school merchandise. back when I went to school some of the the teachers let us student eat and drink junk food during class. true story

 I  also worked as one of the managers of my school store. on my senior and junior year in high school and also. I had a job in assist principals office. During school's last hour and a half final semester. just running errands fetching the bad kids, and I also helped the secretary set up the phone computer that would call students houses that skipped class or weren't reported in classes that day

after high school, even though I graduated with honors.
I never really needed a job not now or growing up. Due to my mental and physical  health I am currently receiving  a nice pension and a place to live where the rent is low. all the while supporting my grandma's household. I have all day to play video games but little ambition at the moment to play more,

If you don't think you like Gran Turismo I highly recommend Gran Turismo 2 the licences are a lot easier and the money is plentiful unlike in later Gran Turismo games in fact some people I've seen on YouTube have well over $1,000,000.00. earning lots of money to upgrade your car is a breeze in Gran Turismo 2 game and even the loser can get 500 credits in witch an average winner on Gran Turismo 4 gets without a licence.

you can unlock a secret car in some of the Gran Turismo game. by getting all gold medals on the license testing.

The most difficult part of any Gran Turismo game is earning the license in order to race for higher stakes. Don't bother with "Grab Turismo 3 A Spec" that game is nothing compared to the 1st 2nd and 4th entry into the Gran Turismo series, 3 have barely any cars at all and feels more like a demo then an actual game. Even the 1st entry Gran Turismo 1 has more to game play and racing then the 3rd installment of Gran Turismo 3 A Spec for PlayStation 2.

Ive raged. I remember one time I was playing MK PS3 online. Was kicking the shit out of this person and all the sudden they caught me in some cheap ass combo and beat me. I was like wtf and tossed my controller. Ill be damned if it didnt hit the wall and shatter. Had to go buy another one the next day. Never did it again though.

Online games against people can sometime be a bitch Mortal Kombat can be especially frustrating even against the CPU because that game rewards the person with the best reflexes and combos, it can be majorly unfair and unbalanced at times

As for RPGs sounds like you got trolled  @soera or maybe just highly unlucky at that moment

I've had my fair share of pissed off gaming moments but the only time I remember strait up raging was in Gran Turismo 3 trying to get the damn licenses.... I gripped this PS2 controller and twisted as hard as i could till it broke.

Gran Turismo 4 I know is hard, I never played 3 as much. due to the lack of cars in that game. Overall I find Gran Turismo 3 A spec the worst gran Turismo I ever played. try gran turismo 2 for PS1 that game has TON's of cars and is easier but Gran Turismo 4 has more tracks and cars though


Their is also harsh language spoken by myself when I fail in the license by a few milliseconds I don't ever aim for all gold I am happy with  silver & bronze, when comes but for all gold you can unlock a hidden car in some Gran Turismo games

For me most fast pace reflex games are not fun. I play mostly sports games and first person shooters. I usally get mad if I can't make out whats on screen and the cpu takes advantage of bad screen angles. I have vary poor eyesight and often can't see well in shiny night lights like in need for speed underground" and also in some first person shooters when a bunch of guys is hiding far away and killing me in the process.

I never beat Medal Of Honor: Front lines. due to bad guys shooting me off screen in an area on a hill far beyond what the graphics display and at night too. It's the level where you start on a hill and the bad guys shoot rockets far beyond the visual distance of the game. everything is in fog and you can't see the other side of the field when the men are shooting you as an example.


turns out they are on a distant hill and harrass you and use the view distance of the game itself to hide and kill you

How do you handle rage or anger quits? Have you ever broken a controller or a console? for me



When generally a video game goes too fast or too complex or, it makes me fatigue. I get angry  and turn off the game console. I have broken a few controller a long time ago. I'm a loser when it comes to games, I usually get lost or don't know what to do in which is why I turn off so many games not even bothering to get off the first level

when I want to play something I will just play that game but when I am stumped on what to play and know I want to play something I like to do the random approach. so without looking at your collection (other than how many pages you have) I would recommend you playing the game on page 36 second one from the top.

EDIT: Looks like this https://vgcollect.com/item/120407 is the lucky winner!

I played this game "The Street Rumbler" although It was too hard for me. but, I enjoyed a game on the same exact compilation called "Block Block" and it was a vary great Breakout clone
