Good to hear Jshacks, I apologize my knowledge of FFVII is wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy outdated at this point.
You have played FFVI right?
jshackles
Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yes and it's my absolute favorite in the series, even still. If Squenix is listening, PLEASE remake VI even if it's like the android remake of V. Bonus points if it's released on Steam.
The only Final Fantasy games I haven't beat are 2, 11 (not sure if this one has an ending), and 13 / 13-2. I've also not played 14 as MMO games aren't really my thing.

Nabbed Dishonoured for £3 from Gamefly. Hope it's good.
At times it feels like i'm the only one who has no problem with Skyrim's combat. It is least of its worries, i think.
I ran your post through google translate (English -> Japanese) then back again (Japanese -> English). It came out "Squenix, a remake of VI would only be good if all the characters were replaced with Lightning."
XI has multiple endings. Beating the original storyline (Shadow Lord), getting to rank 10 in each nation, beating the Zilart storyline, beating the Promathia storyline, etc.

it's fantastic, enjoy.
Really nice list you have great taste very similar to mine so I would just like to add a few recommendations
Dont think about getting Ico/SoTC collection just buy it
Flower and Fl0w are both well worth a play Flower especially from the same creator as Journey
Uncharted 1 and 3 are also well worth playing though 2 is arguably the pinnacle of the series
Dragons Dogma if you want another great RPG that isn't Demons Souls
If you want racing game Split/Second is in my opinion the best racing game this gen followed closely by the Dirt series
Afrika very different a game about taking pictures of African animals think pokemon snap for grown ups. Its not perfect but if that in anyway appeals to you your gonna love it. Is only available in America though so i had to import it
I'm sure I could add more but it looks like you have more than enough to play for now and I'm trying to keep it to stuff on on consoles I hope you enjoy them.
Steam key for AC4 for $35 if anyone is interested.

Gabe need your moneydont be selfish
I'm trying to convince myself that the Square Enix DRM is too obtrustive but I'm weak.
Also, thanks to sprinkles for McPixel!
mods make the combat more bearable.

Yeah, I've heard other stuff like the story/dialogue is pretty bland (Bethesda needs to hire new writers, get Avellone or someone from Obsidian stat, Guerilla Games hired a New Vegas scribe recently), uninteresting questlines and streamlined RPG mechanics. Still, I'll be able to enjoy exploring the world.
I'll be sure to do that, thanks for the heads-up!
Not my problem with Skyrim either, except perhaps the last. Well, the story has potential but doesn't really deliver, but can't do much about that, still it ain't awful, just okayish.
Going to make my own overhaul probably (some searching before hasn't uncovered a mod that suits my tastes), for skill/perk system primarily, along with some other settings/item modifications. And spells, magic needs to be powerful.
Thanks for the recommendations! I'm trying to keep it at the absolute best games that would be considered must-play status since I already have plenty of games on PC to play.
You noticed it, but that is why I decided to skip out on Uncharted 1 and 3 for example.
I want to pick up Dragon's Dogma, but I will continue to wait it out and see if it eventually comes to PC. If not, I might just ignore it entirely or pick it up even cheaper on PS3.
Shows up as $80 for me.

Ah, so it's more items, magic and balance issues for you?

Thats bullshit. The regular edition is supposed to be 5 dollars but its still 7.49.

Thought I write a few words about my favorite game since some are still on the fence about buying it.
Everyone buy Dark Souls.
And experience the best game of thelast generation. It is currently -80% off as a Steam Daily Deal so there is no excuse not to get it.
FAQ:
-"Is it really as good as people say it is?"
Yes.
-"But... but, it is too difficult for me."
No, it is not. It is a challenging game, I give you that, but the difficulty is vastly exaggerated. It is true though that you have to invest some time into the game and learn the enemies and environments. Don't expect to play for 2 hours and "press A to Awesome". But when you decide to invest, you get back a thousandfold.
-"Is it true that there is hardly any story?"
No, there is a story. A big one, actually. The lore behind this game is huge and the characters and relationships between them are pretty complex, I'd say. Thing is though, to get the full experience you have to pay attention to your surroundings, talk to the characters and read item descriptions etc. On top of that, you have to use your brain to figure some stuff out yourself (e.g. you talk to a nice NPC that wears a big red dress and later in the game you find a corpse near a big trap and loot a big red dress from it, chances are the NPC died here - or maybe he/she was robbed and you looted the big red dress from the thief? - or there are more than one person wearing big red dresses?) Anyway, the more you invest in the story, the more you get back.
-"What is this I hear about MODs?"
You owe yourself to play Dark Souls in 60FPS with high resolution. The mod that allows this is called DSfix and is brought to you by Durante, one of GAF's finest and my own personal hero. (Haven't been to Innsbruck yet, still owe you twobears beers.) There are a lot of other mods that are not really needed though. Have a look yourself in the Dark Souls Nexus if you are interested.
-"How do I install the mod?"
Instructions are provided once downloaded, but it is as easy as copy/pasteing some folders. Then you need to change the "DSfix.ini" which you copied in the Dark Souls "DATA" folder. You can change rendering and display resolution, DoF and AA and whatnot. If you don't know what you are doing than simply find "unlockFPS" and change it from 0 to 1 ("unlockFPS 1")
-"I get some graphical issues."
Make sure to disable in-game Anti-Aliasing. It doesn't work with DSfix. You can activate any form of AA within DSfix.ini to your hards content.
-"Will I get banned from Game for Windows - Live for unlocking the framerate?"
No. Theoretically it is possible, but no case has ever been reported.
-"KB/M or Controller?"
Controller if you can. Use DSMfix if you are using KB/M. This mod fixes the bad mouse controls.
-"Ok, ok, you convinced me, I'll buy it. Some early game tips?"
Everyone buy Dark Souls.

To whomever grabs these, I hope you enjoy them. If you do get them, no need to say thank you.

I've actually had it sitting in my inventory for awhile, but the one thing I'm concerned about is starting a game and losing the save if GFWL gets removed.
Yeah. Boring items, boring magic. Also races need more diversity, perks should be less important when compared to skill itself (perks should be fun additions).
Of course if i start thinking about this closely, i'll probably tweak just about everything...
You know what I've only just noticed this bit the Free To Play icon on the Store page has someone pulling their pockets out to show they are penniless. Is it meant to signify that "don't worry about being broke here play these games for nowt" or "you fire this game up son and you ain't going to have nothing left in your pockets but lint"?
The mind boggles.
The mind boggles.
Somehow I think it's the latter, but you never know.

Good stuff kajo. The game can be somewhat daunting but it pays off handsomely.

But you have more than half a year until this might happen. Surely you can finish it in this time, no? Also, I am sure if they don't patch GFWL out, there will be mods that fix pretty much everything.
EDIT: Didn't think about the fact that they could actually patch it next month. Anyway, the game is so good that you can start a second time even if you lose your save. And b/c you know all the stuff already you will rush through the beginning in now time. For me the first playthrough took about 50 hours, I think. The speedrun times of this game including all bosses are about 1 1/2 hours. If you know what you are doing, you can beat this game pretty fast.

13a. Upgrading your weapons is usually more important than upgrading your stats.
I think GFWL only handles the online part, so your save should be safe. DSFix even lets you make backups.
