Video Game Rankdown Pt. 2

The Sims

It's been a long time since I've played the Sims or any other computer games and I just moved it on for nostalgic reasons last round. Life simulation games are far from my favorite genre and even as a kid I soon moved onto other computer games like Chessmaster and Civilization. It was later ported for PlayStation 2, GameCube and XBox but I've always thought of th eoriginal as a computer game anyway. The game's objective involves creating virtual people called "Sims," putting them in houses and helping direct their emotions/desires. It was one of those games I got just to see what the fuss was about, but I moved on from it rather quickly and now its time is up in this rankdown.

Star Ocean

I haven't actually played the original since it's for Super Famicom, a system that I've only vaguely heard of, so let's consult Wikipedia for details.

 

The story involves three friends who are searching for the cure to a new disease and encounter a space-faring federation involved in a war with another galactic power. The group attempts to uncover the cause of the war and stop it but using time travel and advanced technology. If 2 and 3 are any indication, the combat mechanics are somewhat involved with real time combat, attack and defense options and Special Points to be gathered after battles. It later got a remake for the PSP and ported to the Switch and PS4, but I've never played the remake so out this game goes.

Soulcalibur

I'm not familiar with the Soulcalibur series at all, so let's concult Wikipedia again.

 

It is the second game in the Soulcalibur series, with Soul Edge being the first in December 1995. It was developed by Namco who are known for making quality stuff.

 

The game involves the pursuit of the legendary weapon known as Soul Edge; it is now in the possession of a warrior known as Nightmare who slaughters countless people to satisfy the blade's bloodlust. Other warriors pursue him either to claim the weapon for themselves or to destroy it, by so doing will end his murdering spree and free him of its curse. Sounds like the Masamune from Chrono Cross but worse. Anyway, if anyone wants a better write up then this feel free but out it goes from this rankdown.

Xenoblade Chronicles

 

yI82Mhe1W08

 

This is one of those games I have played a bit but never got around to finishing and like more for the soundtrack. Still was hoping someone would have moved it on though.

 

Xenoblade Chronicles takes place on the frozen bodies of the Bionis and the Mechonis, two perpetually warring titans. The people of Bionis along with the human-like Homs are at war with the Mechon machine race of Mechonis. The key to defeating the Mechon army is the Monado, a sword that is said to have been wielded by the Bionis. The main protagonist Shulk discovers his ability to wield the Monado during an attack on his colony and sets out on a quest for revenge with his best friend, Reyn, with others joining in as the game progresses.

 

The game is an open-world day to night environment with parties of three and tougher enemies appearing at night.

 

I've posted my favorite song from the game above. Enjoy. o:)

F-Zero X

F-Zero X is a futuristic racing game originally released on 1998 for the Nintendo 64. It is a sentimental game for me cause I played a lot during my childhood with my brother. This game is the second games in the F-Zero series and is the game that catapulted Captain Falcon into stardom and even make him to start doing appearances in other games with his most prominent role being on Super Smash Bros. and every game since that. This is the first game F-Zero game to have 3D graphics however some criticism was draw for the lack of detail on the graphics. I personally enjoyed the number of characters, 30 freaking characters, that were also fun to unlock if you knew the cheat code for all the characters, tracks and levels :haha:, as a little kid I used to show-off to my friends by using the cheat code (L-Shoulder, Z, R Shoulder, Up-C, Down-C, Left-C, Right-C, Start.) and have everything available :haha: The game was also a blast to play even if after a while it would become a little repetitive. Like I said this is a sentimental favorite but more than a fair cut at this moment, but I'm glad it was able to survive up until this point.

Mario Party 3

Mario Party 3 is the third game in the Mario Party series :teehee: . It was the third and final Mario Party game to be released on the Nintendo 64. The game follows the same mechanics as its previous two installments, where the player chooses between eight characters and go into a board type of game where up to 4 players will face each other with the purpose of getting the most number of stars. During the game, the players will play several mini-games during each turn until the final turn is reach and the player with the most number of starts gets to win. This is the first game to feature Daisy and Waluigi as playable characters and also the first one with the Story Mode, where 1 player will starts a campaign through every board challenging computer opponents in a shorter version of the party mode. The game was mixed received cause it didn't improve much against Mario Party 2 and to be honest is pretty much the same game so I agree with that. I wanted Mario Party 2 to be the final Mario Party standing since its my favorite but that won't be the case anymore. It's still a game I played a lot during my childhood and with Mario Party 2 is a sentimental one too.

Luigi's Mansion

Luigi's Mansion is an action-adventure game originally released on 2001 for the GameCube. It is the first Mario game for the GameCube and the second game where Luigi is the main character instead for Mario. The player controls Luigi where he explores a haunted mansion, searching for Mario and capturing ghosts that are located in the rooms using a special device supplied by Professor E. Gadd. After capturing the ghosts Luigi will get keys to get through locked doors and eventually dealing with the boss of the stage. Luigi's Mansion was well received by the critics due to his fresh ideas, but it was criticized because of its short length. To be honest, I've never played any Luigi's Mansion but I know I would definitely enjoy it, I might purchase Luigi's Mansion 3 for the switch sometimes this year. Sorry to any fan out there (Dee, mostly) but no one saved it so I guess is not really a top favorite of anyone.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is a platform game originally released on 1997 for the PlayStation. It is the second game of the Crash Bandicoot video game series. In this game Doctor Cortex abducts Crash, who tricks him into thinking he wants to save the world. Crash is thrown into different parts of the N. Sanity Island in order to recover crystals that will allow Cortex to contain the power of an upcoming menace and keep the planet of being destroyed. The game is considered to be an improvement over its predecessor however it drew some criticisms due to the lack of level variety, easy boss levels and lack of innovation. The game was success with sales of over 5 million copies and making it the 14th best-selling PlayStation game of all time. I played this game a lot when younger I know I had plenty of fun with it but somehow my memories of Crash 2 and Crash 3 are not as strong as those of Crash 1 where I can remember most of it. I still would have this game on the top 64 but you all voted against me (except Steven and Sola :"> ) so this is what you get for doing that :* . Also the original Crash is still there and is the most iconic Crash game in my opinion. So bye to this game, you will be remembered.

MORTAL KOMBAT 11

IPB Image

 

Mortal Kombat 11 is a fighting game released nearly a year ago this past April for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This installment of the franchise went on to become the best-selling video game of 2019. I happen to own this game for the Nintendo Switch. I haven't finished the story yet, but there's an alternate timelines plot that involves characters having different personas. Overall, the game received positive reviews from the critics with praise for its story and customization. There are 25 playable characters (my favorites are Sub-Zero and Scorpion). Mortal Kombat games can be fun when you're playing against a friend, but the solo player story mode doesn't appeal to me as much. So, that's probably why I haven't played this game in a while, but maybe I'll get back to it eventually. Anyway, sorry to any fans, but out it goes from the rankdown.

I need Victoria and Steven to each claim one of the unclaimed write-ups. Just a few more write-ups to be turned in and then we can start the finals! :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

I don't even know what I'm supposed to do at this point. :'( I cut four and claimed Halo 2. What more do you want from me? :'(

You originally had Star Ocean, but I claimed that one and you switched to Halo 2. You need to claim one more. :P
