But yea.... they sure talk a lot..

Been playing it for 14 hours now. They still talk. :eek:


Reminds me a lot of the final fantasy games. Especially the last one. Which i loved by the way. :)

The only Final Fantasy game I have is the Crystal Chronicles game that came out for the Gamecube... Adorable and love it.

Which was the last one? The online one?

I only play Playstation.

I have a Playstation 3, but I'm not sure it's backwards compatible. Which sucks because I really want to give FF a try.

I see FFXIII is coming out in March for 360 and PS3 - Have you heard anything about it?

Nope, but i'm definitely gonna have it, no matter what.

"Darksiders" PS3

Bad-ass intro and start.

The gameplay seems very "God of war"ish.

It does hash that Devil May Cry/God of War free swinging combat together though it's sense of world design and progression harkens back to the SNES style classic 3rd person RPGs that were so popular in the wake of Zelda.

It didn't think it was half bad, though I am not a puzzle solving man at heart and towards the end it feels as if I am just going from one eleaboratly designed puzzle to the next hoping for something to fight.

FFXii is definetly backwards compatible with the the PS3 I run it on mine without a problem. It made some really positive deviations from the formula in terms of combat and is not without it's charms. Additionally it has Balthier in it who is like what I imagine the lovechild of James Bond and Han solo would be like, easily the best character born of the FF series since the chilling almost androgynous villian Sepiroth of FFVii.

Still it has much of the same problems as any FF game, overly self involved characters and plots mired in melodrama more then even I am comfortable absorbing. Not to mention the fact it still involves massive amounts of wandering around chipping away at enemies until your thumbs blister up.

Combat leaves a bit to be desired; it seems clunky and slow (and, no, I don't think it's because of the weapon I'm wielding), and sometimes switching perspective just confuses things. Controls are a little clunky too. I had read reviews that the 360 was the weakest version. I wonder if that's where the problems lie.

I enver found this, many have talked about it being cumbersome and overly difficult nevertheless I found the learning curve smooth as silk, and by the time I was fighting large groups of difficult enemies I was switching characters setting up backstabs and throwing down bad ass magic like a pro. What origin story did you choose?

Ahhh alas the curse of being so many miles away, was I closer I'd just come over to your house sit you down teach you all the tricks and watch intrigued as to how your version of the story played out. There is certainly some compelling moments and characters in the game I do encourage you to "tough it out" so to speak.

Modern Warfare 2 - Getting better at Xbox Live. This is the first COD game I've played.
Left 4 Dead 2 - See my review in the L4D2 thread
Batman: Arkham Asylum - Totally blew me away. Despare recommended this to me a while back and I am plowing my way through it. Gameplay is like a better version of Prince of Persia, characterization, storyline, graphics and scenery are completely Gotham.

Batman AA was freaking AWESOME. Did you see the teaser for the sequel ferret? Looks like they are going to open up the city for the Dark Knight! I swear to god the thought of it almost makes me squee llike a incy child in excitement.

Grand theft auto 4

Jacob Singer 01-16-2010 02:42 PM

Siren Blood curse....not bad

cheebacheeba 01-16-2010 05:40 PM

Brain Age 2 - TRY to play it daily.
I got down to 26 in my last check, 29 in the one after, ha, guess I had a bad day...though considering I'm not 29 quite yet, I'm good with it.

Mario VS Donkey Kong 2
Yknow, it's not a bad game...but I'm really annoyed with it to be honest, more annoyed with Nintendo that they didn't continue the main series as it was
eg: Donkey Kong gameboy, Mario VS Donkey Kong 1, where you ran around as Mario etc...anyone who's played 'em knows these games rocked...though in this one you have to click on little Mario Toys, press switches etc, to let them proceed safely through the levels...as I said while not a bad game, it feels more like a Lemmings title than anything - they should have just sold this one as a spin-off and continued the actual series with the title.

Scribblenauts.
Interesting. Pretty simple game...but deceptively difficult at times.

The_Return 01-17-2010 07:48 AM

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Absolutely fantastic...IMO this is probably the best Mario title since the NES games. Typically I'm not a big Wii fan, but this makes it totally worthwhile.

cheebacheeba 01-17-2010 09:43 AM

The DS version "new super mario" was pretty good also - they seem to have taken the idea a step further with the wii version.
Gotta love a Mario game as it's supposed to be.

Freak 01-20-2010 09:35 AM

Darksiders


I'm actually enjoying this quite a bit.Although it becomes more of a puzzle game as you get further into it.But still pretty solid gameplay.



Army of Two: The 40th Day

This was kind of a let down.The controls are pretty crappy and the cover system is weak.

Despare 01-20-2010 10:31 PM

Just put Sam & Max (the original) and Doom on my phone so that'll keep me busy while I'm busy.

Glad to hear it.

Almost bought that one, but chose "The Saboteur" instead.



"The Saboteur" PS3

This is GTA set in 1940s France, with a little Assasins Creed added.

I really love the scenery. Very nice graphics with lots of nice details, such as famous buildings and..... the sky is actually very cool to look at. I also love that it's possible to just drive out in the countryside if you feel like it. The change in scenery is very well made. Both the landscape and the sky.

The missions are not far from what you're used to in the GTA games, but I personally could have wished for a few more checkpoints durring some of the missions, as you many times don't have a clue how to complete them.

Only 1 thing annoys the hell out of me about this game and that's the character you're playing. A cocky irish fuck of a hero. Every time he starts talking i hope for a bullet to hit his face or some nazi to come rip out his tongue. That would be swell..

NICE! That was always one of my favorite PC games. Snucky's and the world's largest ball of twine are classic.

...

Just started playing Borderlands on the PS3. What a blast. The graphics are absolutely stunning and this game is awesome.

Posher778 02-01-2010 06:56 PM

Still playing Requiem. Still wishing Rayne and Dustin would play it with me :(

Dante'sInferno 02-02-2010 11:05 AM

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, pretty cool. I like how they re-did everything, the only thing that sucks is that you hafta run away from everything

Metroid Prime: Trilogy. I'm still on the first one. But it's great so far. :)

Despare 02-04-2010 04:49 PM

Dragon Age

I'm still at the beginning...

I was wondering which one to play it on.

The Wii. I would probably like playing it on the Wii more anyway, since that way your actually interacting with the game. :)

Played through most of it back when I first got a Wii, quality game. Can't rememebr why I didn't get through the whole game though. Don't know whether I got stuck on a section or just drifted off it. Might have to try and get back into it.

Mostly playing Left for Dead 2 at the moment.

XBox, I wouldn't buy any cross platform multiplayer game on the PS3. Just a matter of who's on 360 Vs. who's on PS3.
