If they are so desperate to put multiplayer in Mass Effect, why won't they release that part as a day 1 free dlc?. So the people interested can download it and the rest of us who don't care for multiplayer or don't want it on their game can just skip that... that way everyone is happy and more...

Games that actually made me care enough to involve myself so much I actually tear up are few... but of the top of my head I get: Lost Oddysey... every freaking part of the thousand years of memories... and one or two story parts that really punch your guts in. Before that, the endings of...

how to read and write in English, seriously. I was like 8 years old and I got Final Fantasy 4 as a birthday present and couldn't understand a word of it (my native language is spanish), since I was stubborn as hell I decided I would learn English and sat religiously with the game and a...

for the first part, I kind of disagree, not ALL JRPGs are like that (granted, a lot of them are), but Persona 4 tackles subjects that most western games still shy away from (homosexuality, gender roles in society), Mother 3 is one of the darkest, most deconstructive examples of what a being a...

I'm guessing this is an old gamer bait thread, but I'll bite XD... Me and a couple friends used to do "Twisted Metal Saturdays" every once in a while back on the PS1 era... they where awesome... the RC sucked and 3 and 4 we played it mainly for tradition. But I can't count the times we finished...

It looks like the only SMART thing to do with the MK franchise before they cock it up some more. Bye bye magic mumbo jumbo an convoluted half assed historyline. hello circus freaks and sweet sweet violence and gore. What else are they gonna do? they can´t go much lower than MK vs DC unless they...

I made my own out of a Ragnarok image, of all things XD. But I think is because the avatar is your "face" on the internet, you normally don't see the name of the poster but rather the avatar to identify it at first glance, like in real life you wouldn't want to wear someone else face or that...

I don't buy games based on any reviews, I buy them based on personal appeal. I watch/read reviews to see the game in motion or learn about the mechanics of the gameplay or the premise before buying but only to see if it spikes my curiosity. If it does I go and buy it even if the reviews are...

honestly? I don't care much for MW2, because I'm not into multiplayer skirmish/competitive/deathmatch stuff, I'm all about co-op and single player, and I have this to say: single player in MW2 is barely a walk in the park, you sneeze you missed half of it, and co-op feels like a last minute add...

shin megami tensei: nocturne. every boss fight, and I do mean EVERY SINGLE ONE of them on a 50+ hour game with several branching history paths has it's difficulty cranked up to 500. and that no one mentions this but you can easily lock yourself out of being able to enter towns if you manage to...

What do you mean with the Demi fiend being unfair? only because he respawns other uber powerful demons nonstop and every attack is a potential game over... and has at least one that is instant death no questions/complains allowed?... yep, he's that unfair... Although if one plays Nocturne...

I can relate to both ends of the spectrum somehow. it's all about inmmersion, a good story can drive you into the game and make you plow trough gameplay flaws just to know what happens next, yet a purely gameplay driven game is fun if well presented I love JRPGS and WRPGS for the history...

I'm with you halfways, FF8 had a nice story, not great but nice, the battle system was fantastic in 10, and I have all sorts of problems with the 12, first one being that off all the points of view they could have used to tell that story they choose the outsider/cameraman... I mean, you could...

Yes, but I find the battles more attractive if you ditch the auto attack system and go for a personal strategy, sure is a little harder but you get the satisfaction for actually being able to pull off the strategy(specially BECAUSE the frantic speed), I'm not saying the auto attack shouldn't be...

About the no towns part, I think it kinda fits the story, I mean, the l'cie are viewed as terrorists in cocoon society, so A) they are on the run so they can't spend too much time in one place, and B) even if they did most people probably would shoot, slash or run far away on sight so it kinda...
