So I just got finished watching Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva and wow is the writing in that movie just as good as the game, if anybody wants to see the tone and feel of the professor Layton games stories they should watch Eternal Diva though like 3 characters are introduced in the prequels but its fiiiiine.

I would recommend watching Eternal Diva only after the first trilogy and Last Specter.

Especially since (Last Specter postgame spoilers)
there's a secret area you can only enter after the ending that has no puzzles, but rather neatly ties in directly into Eternal Diva. Like the movie happens right after this game.

NONE OF THIS IS CONCEPT ART
ALL OF THESE ARE IN GAME SCREENSHOTS

This may be the actual most beautiful game I've ever seen. And I've seen a shit ton of games.

Ah.

You know what this sounds like?

This sounds like a prettier Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

Which, as I mentioned before, was very dissatisfied with.

...At least it seems like those visual assets aren't reused as many as 3 times over the course of ES?

It's 3d. More like a slightly subpar god of war than anything else.

I forgot ironically how much time you lose playing Majoras Mask.

I'm now at 75% completion in only 2 days. Gotta hunt down some masks and heart pieces, but I'm pretty much at endgame.

Heu, guys, I just had an idea that has the potential to be from great to terrible, or anywhere inbetween: how many of you own Civilization, and which version (with which expansions)?

I own III complete, IV complete, and V with BNW. I'd love to play some Multiplayer even if its a bad idea.

Oh god. I own Civ 5 with all the expansions (I think). I may have Civ 4 buried somewhere as well.

After
ruining the bug porn industry and economy
, I truly realize that Frog Fractions is the only game with something to say.

When is the sequel?

Blergh. Bought a used wii remote and nunchuk. The stick on the nunchuk is super loose and awful.
On the plus side, Mario Galaxy 2 is a really pretty game for the Wii.

Well it'll at least look prettier than GoW. I read up on it and I'm kinda surprised the game goes to great lengths to literally have no HUD on the screen at all during play.

Which makes it baffling that apparently beating the game unlocks the option to make the HUD visible.

I hope it's a cheap buy at this time...

Links Awakening is pretty good up til the last few dungeons, which are ridiculously hard.

That being said, I was a child when I played that, so I could be wrong. I got inside Wind Fish Egg and gave up, which I'm mad at my past self about to this day about. I watched the ending on youtube. It stands as the only Zelda game I haven't actually beaten 100%. And I'll probs never play it again.

That being said, it had amazing music for it's time.

Here's a remix of the best track in that game, Tal Tal Mountain Range

Yeah, switched from blue to red tunic since killing things faster seemed a lot more appealing.

Halfway though the game right now...

It's super cheap.
We got it on sale a few years back for like 3 bucks.

Ok, so there are enough people on here with Civ that I think that at some point, we should do a BestGAF Civ game! (My vote is for 4, Beyond the Sword, but I'm open to debates on that point.)

Eh, there's a bit more to El Shaddai's gameplay than people give it credit for. It's simple but the emphasis on timing hits and mixing up weapons I still think is pretty neat. It's got a DMC1 kind of feel to it if anything.
