Digital Devil Saga has some real bastards of bosses. Colonel Beck in the first game has a wind attack that can kill your entire party if someone doesn't cast Wind Drain every turn, and as if that wasn't bad enough he also has a move that turns any one, two, or all three members of your party...

The God Of War games have some stunning scenery and scale that I wouldn't have believed the PS2 capable of. Tie between them and Shadow Of The Colossus for scenery. Plus, Resident Evil 4 is about the bext looking game of the last generation. As far as taking an art style and running with...

I don't know if Shadow Of The Colossus counts, since it doesn't actually try to have a story, but it does have nearly an hour of cut scenes, mostly involving the main character sitting on his horse, and a half-hour long ending in which something happens which may be good or may be bad, but since...

The Halo books are fanfiction funded by a publisher. Is there a reason it wasn't possible to put Master Chief's backstory in the source material for the books, which is to say the games?

Actually, I think this decade's has become desert-based warfare. Really? I must not have been paying close enough attention. Anyway, it's a long and stupid story:And the ending is like an hour long. ETA: I agree with the point but not the example. Darth Revan is one of the greatest plot...

Fighting Heat for the second time in SHT: Digital Devil Saga 2 is pretty epic, if only because it's followed by a long cutscene explaining the backstory to the game, punctuated by another boss battle against Real Serph and Fake Serph. Ares in God Of War 1 and Zeus in 2 are awesome fights...

My second favourite double-cross is in Baten Kaitos.What I like most about it is that it isn't heavily foreshadowed for hours like everything in all RPGs always is. Like, an hour into Final Fantasy X you know Yuna has to die to bring peace because it's been so obviously implied, but it's...

It worked for Square.

It's got to be Starwing for the SNES. I spent months on end trying to beat the final levels on Hard mode. And one day, it just clicked. I was on my way to Andross with less than half my energy bar and on my last life, certain that I couldn't beat him. "I knew you might make it eventually..."...

Yeah, that confused me. The Wii hasn't just outsold the Gamecube, it's outsold the original Xbox, in less than half the time. Whether or not people in this thread like it, it's on its way to being the winner of this generation. The Wii sequel will have to be a pretty spectacular failure for...

To be fair, the whole growth-acceleration thing in Bioshock is pretty stupid. The "would you kindly" twist made up for it though.

Except the PS2 is not a better console than the Wii. What you mean to say is they're available on another console. As for the topic, your definition of "game" is simply less flexible than Nintendo's. The overwhelming majority of games these days have grizzly space marines shooting monsters...

Damn straight, meatbag. "The function I perform has been referred to as wanton slaughter."

What bugged me about KOTOR2 was that once you've Influenced characters to become Jedi... that's it. That's the end of their story. I'd like at least an epilogue for them, maybe Atton regrets becoming a Jedi, is too tempted to go Darkside and turns against you in the end (if you're Lightside...

Samus has dialogue?
