    Default Ehrgeiz

    Anyone here ever played Ehrgeiz? Strange game.

    I rented it from Movies & More in large part because Cloud and Sephiroth were in the game. I liked how you fought in a wrestling ring and all the mini-games they had. The adventure mode they had in the game wasn't half bad either.

    Discuss.

    I loved Ehrgeiz. Granted, it was mainly for being able to play as FF VII characters first, but I legitimately enjoyed the game at the time. I liked playing as Han the best I think. He had a mechanical leg, and I'm pretty sure he could shoot things out of it.

    Also, this ending is the best because it just goes on forever:

    Hollywood Video rental for Cloud and Sephiroth, naturally... I mean this game never got any promotion, no advertisement... as if when they made it, they already knew no one would want to play except for being able to play as Cloud and co.

    Favorite characters: Han Daehan, Django, Yoko and Jo (because they were the only female original characters until you unlocked Claire and were extremely cute)
    I did like the adventure mode.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    It was fun for what it was and the adventure was really cool. I kind of wish Square would make another procedurally generated game like that.

    I've always thought they should combine the mythos of Ehrgeiz with the Bouncer. Both utilize the exact same gameplay accept one is focused on beat-'em-up adventure and the other is a one-on-one fighter (with a beat-'em-up RPG as fries)

    I have this game. I usually used the shirtless Sephiroth to question my sexuality.

    I saw it for like $18 once but honestly I can't justify buying it in this day and age even for that money 'cause I can't even play it

    It was a pretty fun game! I remember playing as Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Sephiroth, Vincent, and Zack of course.

    Tobal 1 was also a pretty fun game. The controls really set it apart from other 3D fighters of the time.

    I also remember Einhander being really good quality for a side-shooter.

    I miss the more experimental games, or just unique games from Square.

    I remember picking up Tobal 1 just because it had Square on the front cover, and so I knew it would most likely be quality.

    At what price would you justify buying a game you can't play?
