how's origins? im grabbing it soon. It's awesome! Very beautiful and solid game so far. I'm having some graphic and framerate issues though because the game isn't recognizing my graphics card properly on my laptop. I'll have to play with the settings a bit. :( I get the feeling the use of that isn't in the good way.

Well, finished Xenosaga Ep. 1. The dungeons in Xenosaga are very bland to be honest. To make things worse there is no music in the background during these segments so the only audio you'll hear is the sound of your characters foot steps. The layouts of the dungeons are also very simple, it's a straight path for the most part with an alternate path scattered here and there that'll lead to a chest. Prowling along these paths are enemies. There are no random encounters in this game, instead you see enemies on the field and you initiate combat by coming into contact with them. Sometimes

I liked Infamous 1 more than Infamous 2. That's not to say Infamous 2 is a bad game because it isn't, just not as good as the first one.

So I've been pacing myself through FF XII and I still can't stand the game. However, if I play in small chunks at a time I can at least tolerate it long enough to where I can make some progress through the main story quest. Speaking of the story, Ashe is a textbook example of why women would make terrible leaders. Dumb bitch... Peeking at a random guide I am now a bit past the halfway point. Just a bit... past... the halfway point.... Lord, give me strength...

I can't do it. I can't fuckin do it anymore. I tried, I really tried to like FF XII but I just can't do it. There is just too much grinding required for this game. It's too damn tedious and the game gives you nothing to help motivate you to grit your teeth through it all. This is fuckin' maddening, I seriously think this game has took a large chunk of my sanity and I'll never see it again. Everything requires grinding. Want to use a new armor set or weapon? Grind for License Points. 95% of the enemies in this game gives you 1 LP after it dies so you're going to have to kill a lot of them

be precise in what final fantasy you are talking about. always. i thought we had a gamer onboard

Gamefly just sent out Final Fantasy XII so it should be here Saturday. I tried to play the game when it first released and only got like 3 hours into the game before I just gave up on it. This time I'm going to give it an honest shot though so I was just wondering if there are any general gameplay advice or what not I should know before I start. I know the combat is kind of MMO inspired but the thing is I've never touched an MMO in my life.

Every now and then I like to play an old game, usually it's an old favorite but this time I decided to sit down and actually play through Xenogears. I got the game when it first came out but never did beat it because I got stuck on Disc 2 and couldn't figure out what I needed to do. Finally after so many years, I can say that I have played Xenogears from start to finish and I can honestly say this game is.... Garbage. Absolute garbage. I don't know where to begin, I have so much ammo to work with I'm deciding if I should just stick to the main points or if I should just go all out and rip thi

Finished Radiant Historia. The story was good, I'm usually not one to care for the whole 'raging war' like stories because they tend to get a little too political for my tastes but this game does it well. I especially liked how it constantly let you see all sides of the story from each sides perspective, it kept me interested because you were seeing everyone's motives and plans in this war. The characters were solid and they each played their part well. I liked how they all remained focused on the task at hand, they are after all in the middle of a war but character development does suffer

Captain America: Super Soldier. I got suckered into trying it out because I was told it's a lot like Batman Arkham Asylum. In a way it is, just minus the being good part. The combat sucks, the enemy variety is severely lacking, there is way too much collectibles (this shit is everywhere), the platforming is very automated, the voice acting borders on decent to just plain bad, the story is a snore, the music is forgettable, the frame rate is everywhere, etc. About the only thing the game has going for it is the level design. It's actually not that bad. Not great but it's not bad. Oh and it'

FF has had some pretty stupid and annoying mini-games in the past but XIII-2 takes the cake with this bullshit slot machine. The guy who designed this mini-game needs to have a sledgehammer introduced to his shins.

Beat FF XIII-2 and I honestly didn't care for it. Toriyama is a fuckin joke. The story is just straight up nonsense and the ending is disgusting because it made everything up to it pointless. I'm shocked they actually managed to make the story worse than FF XIII's story. The game uses the whole time travel thing as an excuse to have the most stupidest shit going on and the game insults your intelligence because it expects you to not notice how none of it makes sense and instead just go "TIME PARADOX". To give you an idea of how stupid it can get there was a point in the game were a boss had a

Umm... I think I just fucked myself over. I accidentally reset the New Bodhum Gate so I had to playthrough everything again but when I got past the part where you meet Hope the game won't let me access the next gate to continue the game. I can only go to New Bodhum, Bresha Ruins and Yaschas Massif. I can see the two other gates but when I select them they do nothing. Am I going to have to restart?

Currently playing FF XIII-2 and to quote HurricaneMike, "WTF is going on in this game?" I even played the first game and I'm just like "Wait... what? I don't even- You know what, fuck it. I'm not even trying to figure this shit out".

Spelled vanquish wrong i haven't played it yet Best TPS this gen. finally got around to playing the BD demo. awesome. It's like vanquish in many ways but the biggest addition (besides general game flow and voice commands) is the upgrade system. Vanquish needed it hard. Vanquish did have an upgrade system, it just wasn't the standard system though. It was more like old school Contra style upgrade system. I dug it.

Tales of Vesperia is pretty fun. I'm liking it.

Extend is the latest and I can't really recommend it unless you're either a fan of the series or you just happened to skip Continuum Shift. However, if you never cared for the series before then this game isn't going to change your mind. A lot of the people I play with aren't feeling the game as well, myself included. A couple of us have dropped our characters and are learning new ones. I'm messing around with Makoto now that she is nerfed and is no longer stupid good.

Mostly BlazBlue CS Extend right now. Hate they changes they made to my girl... Trying to play through Dead Space 2 as well but the game is a chore to play. I think it's boring to be perfectly honest, don't think I'm even going to finish it. Overrated shit. Knights Contract, this game is soooo bad lmao. I also just bought Tales of Vesperia but haven't actually gotten around to trying it. For all the praise this game gets I'm expecting it to be good.

Dark Souls mostly. Messing around with the latest Spidey game here and there.

Infamous 2 and BB CS2. I'm pretty sure I'm at the end of Infamous 2. I'm on the last island and I only need one more blast core.

Finally got around to playing Persona 3 and after spending an hour and a half with it I feel like it's done nothing but waste my fuckin' time. The only gameplay I've gotten is moving my cursor to select a response. If this game is seriously nothing but a cheesy high school sim then tell me now so I can send this shit back to GF. I thought this was suppose to be an RPG...

Actually played through CT before I played through CC and still enjoyed the game today as much as I did back when it first released. CT just ages very well, even though the battle mechanics are dated it never feels dated. Hard to explain but it's just a really entertaining combat system. CT definitely deserves it's mention when people start discussing about the best JRPGs ever made. It really is a timeless classic.

Been in a retro mood lately so I've been playing some of the PS RPG's. Just finished playing Chrono Cross. Gameplay hasn't aged too well and this is by far one of the stupidest plots I've seen in an RPG. Seriously, people think it's actually good and well written? Really? The game withholds all the important information until you get near the end and then proceeds to have massive plot dumps dropped on you one after another. No pacing, no time to really decipher what the hell is really going on, and some of the information is just so ridiculous I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Gave FF I

Downloaded the Untold Stories bundle for Resident Evil 5 and am pretty much only playing Mercenaries Reunion these days. Some people hate the scoring system but I love it, a lot more challenging than standard Mercenaries scoring system that was more focused on building time in order to get a high score. In Reunion, the kill combo is really important now so you definitely don't want it to break. The higher the kill combo the more points you get for killing enemies. You'll want to save the boss enemies for last that way you'll get massive points and let me tell you, trying to keep your combo ali

Right now: Vanquish- Ugh, really not feeling the game. Shinji has always been hit or miss with me and this is a miss which sucks because I was really looking forward to playing it. I actually haven't beaten it yet because I just stopped playing it and moved on to other games. AC Brotherhood- Single Player isn't as good as AC II's but they did make some nice improvements to the combat system. I also like how you can map whichever weapons you want to the d-pad now. The ability to call a horse at any time is nice as well but it makes you wonder why they even bothered to add in horse stables if
