Style.

[CMCAdvanced]

What game do you think has the most style.
Do not even try to put a bemani game in here.

Mine would be Jet Set Radio Future. The game just reeks of flavor and style. Trying to copy this game would be like trying to copy DDR and claiming it as your own. Like Techno Motion.(Not FFR)

[NessTormented]

Extreme Dancer 2

Now that game kicks but.

I would have to say Guilty Gear X is pretty good in the style department. Very innovative graphics for a 2d fighter, and even has a guy with a bag over his head that uses a giant scaple, what more could u want?

[stoneddinoofdoom]

i think DOA3 has the best style. it definitely has some of the best graphics

Faust pwnz all.

And in GGXX you have a chick that fights with a guitar (I-No), a guy that looks like a girl and uses a yoyo (Bridget), a guy who is possesed and uses his ghosts that huant him to fight (Zappa), and a vampire (Slayer). Who fights with his PIMP POWERZ.

plus the return of Kliff and Justice in the console version.

Would people hate me if I said "The Wind Waker?" :) Seriously, I think I'll go with Rayman 2 - the graphics, animation, and music are all very nicely done - they're very cartoony and whimsical, but there's a lot of substance behind them. (And the gameplay itself is just amazing). I'm also a huge fan of Jet Grind Radio (I'd love to play JSRF, but I'm stuck on a Dreamcast), and Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram has some pretty darn cool character designs. I think that Comix Zone (for Sega Genesis) also deserves a nod, actually - it was a beat-em-up game set in the pages of a comic book, and while the gameplay wasn't too innovative, it brought a lot of style to video games before any of these other titles even existed.

No, it's a great game.

I say DOA Beach Volleyball

[QreepyBORIS]

I say DOA Beach Volleyball

You can zoom in in that game. The volleyball system supposedly sucks though.

This one game site ( www.gamer.tv ) said it was really stylish. They are demi-gods over there, so I am pretty much forced to agree that it is really, really stylish.

MOST, though? Xenogears. When Weltall turns into...nevermiund, you will see. :)

Gamer.tv thought it was stylish? I looked up their review (http://www.gamer.tv/page/feature/3427043.htm), and didn't see anything about style, although they did think the graphics were nice-looking. The general gist of the review was this:
there's very little entertainment value here after the initial, tissue-thin novelty has worn off.
Yeah, the graphics are really nice, but it's not what I'd call really stylish (and that goes for the other DOA games, too). I'm not sure why everyone thinks that the DOA series has so much style - the gameplay sounds like it's generally solid, and the graphics engines are great, but there's a difference between having nice graphics and a unique sense of style. The DOA games look pretty, but I don't think that they do anything really new.
That's my two cents, anyway - let me know what you think.

[stoneddinoofdoom]

what i think is that if you are a mime, then you should not be expressing your opinion, it makes noises when you press the keys on your keyboard.

[Freak83]

Mimes cannot talk. They can make sounds using bodily functions though.

[scorpio1690]

i dont think the volleyball system really matters,do u?

[ragingmime]

:lol: I shoulda figured that would come up sooner or later.
Mimes cannot talk. They can make sounds using bodily functions though." Not if you're a good mime, you don't.
i dont think the volleyball system really matters,do u?Well, no, not really. The bottom line is that you don't play DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball for the gameplay; you play it for the girls in bikinis. I guess that's what bugs me about the DOA series in general - it seems to get more attention because it has nice graphics and pretty girls than because it does anything particularly innovative, and Extreme Beach Volleyball seems like it's just cashing in on that.
Again, I'm sure people will disagree with me - let me know what you think.

[scorpio1690]

i have no idea what u just said but....um.....i like it

[Freak83]

Waa you showed me up!

I watched the video review on it. They said at the end "Next time, how about you have some substance with your style?" or something like that.

Well, no, not really. The bottom line is that you don't play DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball for the gameplay; you play it for the girls in bikinis.

Who the hell wants to play volleyball in real life, OR the computer?

Of course its for the grils! As I said: ZOOM FUNCTION. :) :wink:

[Freak83]

I read in an article that game has a topless cheat. Just wanted to let you guys know. Or did you already?

[QreepyBORIS]

Sweeet.

Yanah would like that, judging by his signature.

Too bad it will be rated M.

[shonenryuukami]

I read in an article that game has a topless cheat. Just wanted to let you guys know. Or did you already?

hmmmm, ive also heard that rumor, and im still trying to prove if it exists.....*runs to x-box still searching for pleasureable cheat*

[scorpio1690]

i think that topless cheat's true cause at my nearest blockbuster you ahve 2 be 18 or older 2 rent it lol

[QreepyBORIS]

i think that topless cheat's true cause at my nearest blockbuster you ahve 2 be 18 or older 2 rent it lol

They don't pay attention to cheats, I am pretty sure To much to keep track of. I think it is rated M for...the obvious. That meaning, you can only rent it if you are 18+ (the minimum age of legal maturity, or something).

[scorpio1690]

not for all games that are rated M do u have 2 be 18 or older,i mean ghost reacon is rated M and i just walked in and rented it and walked out

[QreepyBORIS]

Well, I guess I meant M for sexual content.

Its a little PG-13.... :lol:

[scorpio1690]

ohh,ok,ya

[stoneddinoofdoom]

i dont think there is a topless cheat, if I remember correctly what happened was you could make your own swimsuits and it would basically be toplessness but I think they threw out the swimsuit creation thingy

[Freak83]

No, I read it in a magazine a few of weeks ago. Yes an official one. (BEFORE APRIL 1ST ALSO)

[stoneddinoofdoom]

oh. im really not sure if that cheat does work then. my friend told me about the swimsuit stuff

[scorpio1690]

i dunno,im pretty sure there is,ill check on the net 2 see if there is

[scorpio1690]

k,so far i havent bin able 2 find anything at all on the net,but im still sure about that cheat

[LEGO]

if there was a topless cheat it would be AO pals

[scorpio1690]

YAY! this topic aint locked yet

[ragingmime]

Sooo... back to style in videogames... what do you guys think of older, stylish games? I'd mentioned Comix Zone earlier... Vectorman was pretty cool, too, and the first Toejam and Earl sounds neat, although I haven't actually played it. And Yoshi's Island for SNES had a really different, crayon-ey look to it... I think that's out on GBA now. And, of course, Sonic the Hedgehog was pretty cool for his day - still is, actually.
Am I rambling? Any thoughts or games that I'm missing? Or would you guys rather go back to talking about the topless cheat? :)

[Kashell]

I think I'm become a old school RPGer.

I haven't touched any new RPG's since FFX.

All way too flashy.

[scorpio1690]

there are new RPG's past X? am i missing something or has XI already come out?

[ragingmime]

While we're on the topic of DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball, has anyone heard of Extreme Beach Soccer (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sports/xtremebeachsoccer/)? I'm dead serious.
