Good! It'd be very disappointing for everyone if we had reached the best game ever already. I personally didn't find Last of Us's stealth and combat system a negative, but I can totally see why people do. The Last of Us doesn't play like an action game. It plays like a survival horror. Your...

Oh yeah, absolutely! That one comes down to the publisher, I read quite a few guidelines that said they wanted nothing to do with vampires, please stop with the vampires, please stop making dead things bonk, we are buried under zombie boner manuscripts. Quite a few publishers or agents are good...

Hi all aspiring writers! Good on you all. I have technically been published, I have a chapter in a family book and a short story in a University anthology collection, but nothing on my own steam yet. But I can share my own experience with publishers. After I finished Uni I decided I needed...

It's true, if you end up playing both, playing 3 before 4 is a necessity! There's so many tiny things they tweaked on the way over to 4 that it'll be death by a thousand cuts. Tiny things, like in 4 making social links easier, and you get stat boosts on some social links, and dungeons are tied...

Haha I've played it and love it, and I definitely appreciated those. The sheer amount of references and quick jokes in that game is staggering. And Arena 2 will have Junpei AND Yukari, woo! This coming from someone who hasn't played Persona 1 and 2 (either part), just read up on them to see...

I'm one of those ones who came over from Persona 3 too quickly (it was such a brilliant game that I couldn't just wait lol). Persona 3 came at just the right time; I was beginning to worry that it wasn't Final Fantasy that was changing, it was me growing out of good, exciting RPGs... then I...

It really depends on you which one you start with and which ones you're most fond of. People would be right to say FF6 to FF10, maybe 12 if you're into that kinda thing, are the best ones, but it really depends how... forgiving you are. 6 and 7 are classics, but that's because they were...

Wow, congratulations!!! What a fantastic and bizarre stew of emotions that must lead to. Well, maybe not straight away, probably more like a numb shock at first. Ten years is a heck of a long time! Well done for sticking it out that long, well done for getting it finished, and well done for...

Interesting choices. Sadly they still have an open ending for FFVII, in terms of that Genesis crap that happened at the end of Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. Though hopefully that got shot down.. they said the 'Compilation of FFVII' would last a decade at the time of that announcement...

This is correct, the general rule of FFX afterlife is if you are sent, you are gone. I don't think anyone's come back from being sent, which led to some very funny moments where Yuna should've just sent Seymour and she'd miss her opportunity or get shouted at (loved this game, that just always...

It's a bit more like if Kaiser Wilhelm from World War I returned for a Round 2 as the Kaiser Cyborg. Which, by the way, would've made history that bit more interesting. Of course the Eternal Calm wouldn't last forever, but it shouldn't be Sin + Yu Yevon really. The problem with both Sin (and...

Haha, oh I love this thread, nice to see some positivity! Cor, it depends on the game. I think the main fantastic thing about the genre is variety. You can expect so many things of games and get so many different results, it's wonderful to look down the list of games you have and have arcadey...

To the people saying it's not fair to say anything is 'overrated', seeing as the title literally starts with "I think", then it's totally okay to say overrated. That's like, your opinion man. I have 20 hours in Skyrim and I think it's not for me either, though I did get enjoyment. Like any...

Great review, and that's coming from someone who didn't even like the game very much! At the time it was hard to find an agreeable opinion of the game, reviewers went mental about it and then a lot of the fanbase cried foul that it was so different. Most of this review is on the combat...

This is literally an example of one of the best video game experiences out there that will lose so much on translation to another medium. Video games have a special power that only books can very occasionally pull off; you are in it. IN IT. The player is a character that sort of ghosts in and...
