One of my favorite Systems personally. I've actually heard rumors about Nintendo working on a new system, which hopefully will be more refined than the cube.

Actually, I have all the Nintendo systems up to and including the N64. I've never played on a Game Cube, Gameboy Advance, etc. I do see that they're releasing NES classics for some of the new systems-- proving that their playability lives on, I guess... ;-) -- Derek

When I had got an GameCube, I was blown away by the graphics on Resident Evil Zero. Simply amazing. To bad the system wasn't made with more options than a carrying handle. It could've been great!

the GameCube has power, all of the third party developers have kinda left nintendo high and dry since the N64 though. There are some coming around, but I don't think Nintendo will ever reclaim the home console throne that they once held so well, with people losing appreciation for gameplay over graphics things are going downhill again...

EXACTLY!!! No matter how cool the graphics are, a crappy game is still a crappy game. After time I've learned to appreciate being able to just pop in a game and go. Most of the time now, you almost have to go to a four-year university just to get the controls down! Also, some of the games are so darn long, you just don't want to play them a second time, no matter how cool they were.

I personally love long games, larger sense of acomplishment when you finish them, but they have to be good, and have quality gameplay, not just length.

The longest I can stand to play one game is about the amount of time it takes to beat Suikoden or Suikoden 2 for the PlayStation. Those are my favorite RPG's ever made! I've played through those games dozens of times. I think it's because it has fun characters with good character development.

Well, let me say that the time counter on the Final Fantasy VII stops at 99:59(I didn't stop playing then, if I were to guess I would have to say I put that much time into it at least twice over). and I think the load game screen stops properly displaying your gil sometime before either 3, or 30 billion :P I would estimate my playtime to be over 200 hours.

I would estimate my playtime to be over 200 hours. The actual storyline of gameplay, or were you just spending time afterwards leveling up or finding all the best weapons?

Wow! Now that's some patience. I commend you! I played quite a bit of FF VII, but didn't get as far into as I should have. I'm not even sure what ever happened to that game. I may have traded it for NES carts. Most likely that's what happened. I don't have a PS anymore anyway. I would've liked to have finished that game, though.

I think I spent 50 or 60 hours finishing up the main story, but there were lots of little things to do afterward, (damn those weapons are hard to beat) I think the only thing I don't have is the 'Alexander' materia, but I have master summon, so I can still use it. I mean to finish that up some time. of course there is also Star Ocean, I'm working on my 4th or 5th time through that one, at around 40-50 hours each, so it's up there too. But the FFVII time is on a single save file.

Has anyone here ever played Xenogears? I never have, but my friend used to have it. It looked interesting.

We're hijacking threads all over the place :P but since we're a it... I haven't played Xenogears personally, but I agree that it did look interesting.

Hijacking's a tough job, but somebody has to do it! :oops: I believe Xenogears had a flying cat in it, but I'm not 100% sure. I just remember a part in the storyline my friend showed me where the story was bouncing back and forth on what a couple of different characters were doing.

There were tons of fun games back then that I could never find, after I get what I feel to be an adequate NES collection, I'm going to start on SNES. But one game I have been looking for for years is Street Fighter Alpha 3, for the PS, or the DC, I have a story that almost resulted in violence related to that game, but I think we should maybe start a new thread about that kind of thing, rather than stealing this one even further :P

Xenogears was for the PS I think, meaning it would be CDs, and I don't think it's going to have more than 4 (FFVIII, and IX)

Yeah, I think it was 3. Not sure, though.
