Since it seems to still be going, I guess it wasn't clear enough when Arc said it so now we have a new sticky for a few days. No more discussing this 'hiddden message' bullsh*t, I don't care if it is an insult or an apology, your all carrying on about it way more than necessary. Get over it, the insults weren't even that bad I've heard worse things on 'yo momma.' One word on it, warnings, no questions, warnings. F*ck off, no for real, you have all pissed me off.
When I checked my mail today I was expecting just my paycheck, but I ended up with a mysterious package. I just opened it not a few minutes ago and looky what was inside: Two copies of Bioshock for PC. I went on Bestbuy last week to preporder NGII and I ended up getting two free copies of Bioshock. Epic failure Bestbuy, thanks for free **** and helping me make money. Now I can finally play the game and even sell a copy on Ebay.
I am offically tired of this, I keep seeming to have this debate with people so now I'm making a thread calling out the game and it's fanboys. Because in all honesty, anyone who likes tihs game really is only that, a fanboy of final fantasy and star wars and this was just enough to make you sh*t your wee fanboy pants without having to have lightsabers in an FF. So to just spite this game, I'm reviewing it: The first and most immportant thing every FF game must have is... Story (2/10): The story in this game... is horrible. It is a cliche to the very core. Evil wins, politican murders, sky pirates, etc all sound really exciting but in the truth most exciting part in that is the 'etc.' And I don't mean what etc stands for, I mean the apreviation 'etc.' The evil twin thing is such an old and been done so many times it made me go watch tv land. The sky pirate thing is so predictable that a blind man could find it in a dark room with no socks or shoes on and nothing but needles on the floor. ANYWAY BACK TO THE REVIEW: The story starts off with a great character named Reks who is a soldier fighting for his family, admries his general, and gets betrayed. He is then replaced by his *** brother whose abs scare The Judges into defeat. Let me put it this game devs, when you have a good character STICK WITH THEM. Do not replace them right we fall for them. Here's exactly what it's like: it is like having a perfectly made grilled cheese sandwitch only to have some f*cktard's evil twin come up and take it right before we take a bite and replace it with two pieces of hardwood with a bit of ejaculate inbetween. So then the story follows Vahn, whose story and everyone he meets has been done already by Mr. Lucas. There is even a scene in this game where you will free a princess from an airship, you will then be forced to pause it and start quoting star wars with the nearest person you can find. Ok enough ripping up the cliche'd horrible story that already decapitates the game from being an FF, time to move on to.... Graphics(8/10): The one good thing about this game. the graphics in this game look brilliant, though they're tiem where you wish they sucked *cough*Vahn's abs*cough*. The environments look great and are somewhat diverse (though there is WAY too many caves) and the game grapihcs look great but all in all the CG scenes seem downgraded from that of FFX. Gameplay(3/5/10): 3.5 is generous, only because I like the idea of expanding from turn-based. While I loved Lost Odyssey's revamped TBS, it didn't really seem to compete with action RPGs anymore. This game however tries to mix the elements of an MMO with that of action based game like .hack and Star Ocean, and it fails. First thing I want to rant out is something that annoys all plays of action RPGs: There is no dodging system. The game tries to be more real and actiony, but all you can reily on is your speed stat to dodge. Not actually moving out of the way of an attack because apparently all of them are heat seeking making me run around and nothing working. Next part, the upgrading system: It is so stupid, all us FF fans know it fails compared to sphere grid so NEXT. The Gambits: The gambits are the final nail in this coffin(lol cliche in a cliche'd game rant FUNNEH). The gambits take away this gmae's ability to be called a game or even be played. For those of you who don't know, you make it so your characters can be controlled by the game itself instead of inputting every move for all 3 party members, which is a good idea, I don't wnat ogo through endless menus slecting each attack in a real time system. However you can get overly detailed with this so your AI have no thought process at all and you do this for your own charatcer so that all you have to do is hold the controller and hold the joystick in the right direction if even that. Basically taking away all gaming aspect from this and maknig it programing, which even as a game designer I don't give a damn about. This would be great if the original Mario was watching the game play itself with Star Wars playing in the backround but isn't what makes a game fun now is it? Actually having control, using your brain to kill an enemy, and making a game on a personal level is what made all the original RPG's great in terms of fights. All in all this game can play itself, which is no fun. The idea of expanding is great, but in tihs way is jsut f*cking embarassing when you look and see what games like Rouge Galaxy, .Hack, Oblivion, KOTOR, and Mass Effect have accomplished as in branching out. All in all, it was am e,barassing f*ck up that makes you feel like this: http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y197/shadowjak88/?action=view¤t=bored.jpg Overall (4/10): This game is not a game but a way to sit on your couch bored and watch a parody of star wars play out through some guy with a sword and scary abs. The gameplay is a nice try but really this game is SE's way to get money and prepare for FFXIII. Thank you FFXII lovers for making me go this far. =D
Happy Birthday Laurence! Your present is Wesker inside of your cake.
Your sig is my new god xD
http://thevgs.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1203551648&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2& Can't wait to get my hands on this.
http://thevgs.net/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1203384277&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1& E. Daniel Arey and Bob Rafei quit ND to form BRB. Snapz... I definitely can't wait to get my hands on whatever project they make.
Today, someone on XBL asked me what was my top ten, I instantly laughed and said I don't know. But then I got thinking, so now I have results and not only want to post mine, see what is in everyone else's top ten is.... Also I want to up my post count. There is only one rule to this, that is you can only use one game from a series. So you can't go 1. KH1 2. KHCoM. They are part of the same franchise which disobeys the one rule. ----------- My Top ten: 10. God Of War- Perfectly bloodly.It was fun, challenging, and just made me love the PS2. 9. Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal- Ohh come on, it's ratchet and clank. It was the same ratchet and clank we all love but perfected with gameplay, not so much challaenge though, it was easy. Still fun though. 8. BLACK- This game because it was the first real modern warfare game, plus brought down the cliche of FPS games. It was stealthy. Everything was about cover when you got into a fire fight, and all and all jsut great. 7. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory- I'm really into stealth games, this is the second best out there, nuff said. 6. Devil May Cry 3: Special Ediition- It was fun, hard as hell, great story, and playing as Vergil mixed up the gameplay more than Nero could ever hope to do. 5. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker- It was perfect for Zelda. Great plot, long, better action than any Zelda (reaction commands=win), it was the perfect Zelda game. 4. Super Mario Bros. 3- It's. Super.Mario.Bros.3. No need to explain, kthxbai. 3. Gears of War(WTF?!? New game beat SMB3?!?!?)- It was intense. This game has more action than any other game on the market. It was always difficult, even on easy, though insane mode made me want to suicide, it was still awesome. For what this game lacks though, number 2 makes up for by far. 2. Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes- Plot. And this game takes it to an extreme. With peopel betraying you left and right, great humor, and fun action and stealth, this game takes number 2 in my heart of gaming. 1. Jak II- Perfect mix of plot, gameplay, action, cutscenes. The game was overall breath-taking. It was full of great plot twists, great characters, great level design that not only made hte new sci-fi but also stuck to the original places such as temples and jungles, great voice acting, this game has it all including over 140 hours of my life. This will probably die quick, but I had to make it for lulz. I know it's already been made, but I wanted to revive it without necro-bumping and getting teh flamed.

Cin what the f*ck man... Why... in the world... is your hair f*cking pink? Such an impractical color for hair dude! And you know... the weird thing is... your not a goth... You have no reason for your hair to be like a shiny flower. If you actually want to be goth, here's some black clothes(not even the good black clothes and stuff like I wear, the kind that try to have angel wings on it and sound so awesome but really suck), marilyn manson CD's, and one of those 100s of strangley legal drugs out there that cause depression. There! Your now goth! I now laugh at your stupid *** for being goth. A step above emo and yet so many mix you two up. Go cut yourself, ohh wait, you think your above that with your pink hair >_> Unless your mother was extremely blonde and your dad was extremly red haired, stfu about yourself! Dye's cause brain cancer you know... And I laugh at you for it, you'll die before me, and I get to dance on your grave and comfort the doctor that felt bad because their is no cure. LOOK WHAT YOU CAUSED! A doctor probably as awesome as Dr. Cox that wants out of medicine because he lost you to brain cancer because of no cure! So selfish man, I expected better. And all for what? So you could look prettyful even though you really don't? *******. What do you have to say for yourself! (anyone who thinks this is serious... I have no comment xD)
I must say, after hearing about Lost Odyseey being a flop in Japan, I was pissed off at the RPG genre. Seeing the one game I thought would be was guranteed to bring RPGs back to the way they should be flopping, I was ready to call it quits. But then I bought Mass Effect. And I must say, aside from glitches and AI being a bit stupid, it's a great RPG. The combat is simple but figuring out hte best way to take otu an enemy instead of button mashing makes it so much better. In every action RPG, you either button mashed(KHII) or you just targeted and enemy, put down the controller, and returned in a half hour to see a crappy version of victory fanfare playing (FFXII). So yeah, the action RPG has sucked up until about ten minutes ago when I played Mass Effect. Cover system, completely choosing the story, randomly punching people out, unexpected deaths, a bit of a cliche'd story, randomly punching people out. ohh hellz yeah! Thank you bioware, thank you for giving me hope for the genre.

I'm leaving... for quite a long time. My grades have horirbley suffered and the only thing I could think of that changed from my normal ways of studying to these new ones was I've become way too attached to this place and two other places. I can't balance so much of my internet life, my real life, and my school life so I'm putting off the internet life. I want to complete my dreams so I can stuff it to those who've called me a failure, in order to do so I need ot pay more attnetion to school. I have more but I won't go there... Anyway... Monday, I will leave. I will be on MSN, but the majority of you and all the rest of my internet friends will have been blocked so I can concentrate. The only person I will leave unblocked that isn't from real life is the one costing me money so don't feel bad. I will be back one day this month if not busy, and will unblock all of you just for that one day then for one week of christmas break to wish you all happy holidays. After that, you won't see me for a long time. So yeha, hate me and rejoice or love and miss me, your chocie I suppose.
I have one thing to say: Lawlz.
This could be old, but really, I don't care, after watching it, it is now my job to post it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pPCkhYMQgY
