Disembodied Voices Episode 37: In Which Cameron is Agreeable

theDVcast.com writes:

"It’s a brand new episode with a brand new positive outlook! Zachary, Stephen, and Bryan chat amiably about Xenoblade Chronicles, The Legend of Dead Kel, and classic Rare games of childhood memories while Cameron nods his freakishly non-confrontational agreement the whole way through. Although his zombie-like affability is creepy, it doesn’t hold a candle to the serial-killer-esque mannequin torso Stephen found in his garage. (That has nothing to do with video games; it’s just terrifying.)

On a far less morbid note, still-tentatively-titled-segme nt Delectable Design returns to brighten up everyone’s day with talk of Wind Waker’s Great Sea– which, come to think of it, concludes with a theory about 'Corpse Island,' so the the morbidness kind of continues. But who cares? Listen to Disembodied Voices Episode 37 for all kinds of games, all kinds of fun."

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21197d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan197d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic197d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds197d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj239d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan239d ago (Edited 239d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog239d ago (Edited 239d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan239d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack238d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj239d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing239d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

GotGame818270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

gleepot239d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.
