woa. :lol

Yeah, but if you are going to bring up Metal Gear, then I'm gonna pull out the "scores don't matter" card because the lowest rated main entry in that series is also the fan favorite. So nyeh!ULTROS! said:Didn't MGS4 and GTAIV come out sorta late this gen and still get high scores?
Eh, neither of them were as great as their critical response indicated.Dresden said:They were great games, though. Although GTA certainly didn't deserve all the hyperbole.
Nah, it's a good game, I liked it too. I think review scores are kind of pointless anyway, and I'm not sure what they're supposed to be used as a metric for - certainly not quality. New car smell maybe?entrement said:I don't know, I'm really enjoying FFXIII.
Himuro said:Chapter 12 sucks.
How much farther am I from beating this game? I'm fighting a rematch versus the pretty boy silver haired bad guy in his ship mech thing.
Cep said:Himuro, is that you?
ULTROS! said:I just noticed that all the PS360 sequels of the PS1/2 mega-franchises (GTAIV, MGS4, FFXIII, Tekken 6, and DMC4) were all disappointments in most of the gamers' eyes. :lol
Himuro said:FF5, 6, 8, Tactics, 12, and 10-2 are my favorites.
Where's your Fal'cie now?

10-2 and Tactics: fans of superior combat or superior stories
IronFistedChampion said:Ugh, finally beat the asshole by using a Deceptisol, getting all my buffs, and using Relentless Assault to stagger him with the help of a preemptive strike. That was really freaking annoying for a first mission.
Fimbulvetr said:Fixed.
It's weird that many fans of the most campy/non-serious FF are also fans of the darkest/most mature(not that those last two are related in any way, they just happen to both be in this game) FF. And yes, I am a douche for saying all that un-ironically.

VII Complication: Likes mediocrity.
Himuro said:I didn't have a ps3 when MGS4 came out.
If I did, I'd still say the same thing.
The game is trash.
Awesome, somebody to finally join my snobby snob club. We can wear top hats and smoke cigars and talk about the good ol' days when Final Fantasy was all about dress spheres and backstabbing.Himuro said:FF5, 6, 8, Tactics, 12, and 10-2 are my favorites.

Don't forget RE5!ULTROS! said:I just noticed that all the PS360 sequels of the PS1/2 mega-franchises (GTAIV, MGS4, FFXIII, Tekken 6, and DMC4) were all disappointments in most of the gamers' eyes. :lol
Red Scarlet said:I'm really hoping a friend of mine gets this before me, so he can tell ME what to do, unlike the other 12 where I tell him what to do.
BTW when I play it I am gonna make a crapload of Vanille avs, screw you guys.

Let's not forget murderous brothers and vague incestuous undertones.icarus-daedelus said:Awesome, somebody to finally join my snobby snob club. We can wear top hats and smoke cigars and talk about the good ol' days when Final Fantasy was all about dress spheres and backstabbing.

Oh, and lesbians. And rape.

Damn, I might have to bring back the Fang avatar, then. We're already so outnumberedcosmicblizzard said:Yo Boco, looks like we got a mod on the VDF. High five!
I think you know which of those three things is most important.Dresden said:Let's not forget murderous brothers and vague incestuous undertones.

Right, my good sir, but I simply cannot tolerate a Final Fantasy game without a surfeit of zippers! Or is it a dearth of zippers? I get my snob words mixed up sometimes.Fimbulvetr said:Ah yes, changing clothes and manipulating the opposition is the true essence of Final Fantasy.
It's odd how enjoyable dungeon-crawling is when you come to it right after FFXIII.Himuro said:One more chapter.
If I push myself I can beat it tomorrow, sell it, and play some STRANGE JOURNEY!!! oh, and L4D2.
Himuro said:
I thought for a while that Resonance of Fate was the GREATEST RPG OF ALL TIME because I played it right after XIII. I know the feeling.Himuro said:Have you played ANY after playing some of FF13? It's such a breath of fresh air.
"WOW THIS GAME WILL LET ME PLAY IT."
So I hear. Still a very good game, although I've put it aside for now to beat Strange Journey.Himuro said:Well if it's anything similar to Valkrie Profile 2 it's probably close.
I mainly played because I could give everyone glasses. Glasses=love. I think that's why I liked P4 so much.Red Scarlet said:Everyone just plays RoF cause of the 'small rack' lady. That's all I know about the game.

BocoDragon said:So what's everyone's XIII post-recovery game going to be?
I don't know whether to steer into the belly of the beast with the linear and anime FFX or X-2 (to compare them in light of XIII).. play a new game like RoF... or play FFXII.
In my heart I want to return to Ivalice and actually explore around!.... the linearity of XIII has killed my soul. It's worth a return to XIII's antithesis.... the International patched verson should do... I just need to get a modchip....
I can only imagine. Still I heard that's a classic.cosmicblizzard said:I've been playing the original Grandia. Never finished it. The battle system feels sooooo slow after playing this.
I'm going to finally finish Lost Odyssey (I was early in disk 4 last time I played) , Uematsu <3BocoDragon said:So what's everyone's XIII post-recovery game going to be?
