Should I start getting into video games?
View this Thread in Original format
Aldrian
Who's into video games here? I don't want to say i grew out of it but im 24 now and i stopped playing video games since i was 20. Playstation 2 is getting interesting with all the great batch of games out there. Also there is the xbox which didn't impress me much but it can in the future. Grand Theft Auto 3 is easily my fave so far since it's a freedom type of game where you can just go around do anything you want. my friend has it and it's a blast to play.

what system shoudl i get? is it worth starting a video game collection now even when im at my age? 50 bucks a pop per game is almost steep for me to afford. i might feel guilty and rather spend it on new cds, or someting for my dj equipment. i don't know

what do you guys think?? with all the technology and how fast it is going out there, it is really confusing on what system will last the longest...

Hey Aldrian, have you ever played Shenmue? It gives you a lot of freedom too (though you'll get frustated at times)

Available for Dreamcast and some other console (Buying a Dreamcast isn't a good idea unless you like the other games that were already released - they won't release anything else after 2002)

My only two video game station that I ever owned, was the original Atari and the Original Nintendo. After that, I grew out of them.

But,....PS2 looks pretty impressive. Some games are for 18 and older crowds, such as grand theft auto. I know some friends who are in their late 20's and they are addicted to this thing. Go ahead and go back into playing video games. But don't say that i didn't warn you about the addiction. LOL, If you go to school, good luck graduating.

I would buy a PS2 JUST for FINAL FANTASY! I LOVE that series and can't get enough of it! It's a shame that Shenmue 2 will be going to X-Box (Except for UK and Japanese DC users, THEY GET IT ON DC!). I LOVED that first one and I want the 2nd... Well, looks like I'm going to have to get BOTH, PS2 and X-Box. Also, Gran Turismo 3 is worth buying a PS2 ALONE. GREAT GAME! GET IT!

I would say get a ps2 or a gamecube. if you decide to get into video games, it's going to take up a lot of your time :D

yeah ps2 is pretty cheap now. wondering if it is going to get lower anytime soon.....probably not for another 2 years. some games are like 20 bucks only. twisted metal black looks pretty bad ass to me. get myself a multitap and play with my buds

im gonna go ahead and think about it. if i don't buy any more cds for a while.

also i don't like the word nerd or dork or geek associated with video gamers because the video gamers i know are all normal acting people. i have seen those so called "nerds" where they recite lines from games and act it out sometimes..

I never realised why do people play video games ? There is just no point playing games on any console.

buy a mod chip for ps2 and then download the games and pay only the price of the cd to burn it onto

thats pretty cheap imo :P
