    Final Fantasy watered down?

    Argh, I suppose its not unreasonable for someone to buy a FF without knowing anything about it before hand. Fanboys just need to see FINAL FANTASY and the rest is irrelevant because at that point they've already purchased 6 copies of FF:Baby Seal Bloodfest in the 3 second time span. But those...

    Gaming addiction

    Ahhh yes, Beautiful beautiful Cracked.com. . . Spread throughout our mortal world with a vengance! Ahem, sorry, strong love for that site. And yeah it's messed up, but really not all that surprising. The American Psychological Association is contemplating adding internet addivtion to the new...

    Advice for a new gamer...

    I guess try every genre if you can. If all you ever try are the highly advertised mainstreamed fps' or whatever, you'll be missing out on some amazing experiences. Also for new gamers who get into reading reviews in GI or on IGN or gamespot or wherever, ignore the score largely. Read the...

    Rock Band 3... what do you want to see in RB3?

    Harmonix has seemed really quiet lately because they've been working on that one program. I forget what it's called, but that one that lets bands make and put songs on the music store themselves and get a cut of all sales. That in its own right is really impressive, we just dont see it as much...

    FFXIII

    Yeah, since when did linearity betray what a jrpg is? And it isnt linear the whole time. Its the same when people are two hours in and keep complaining that the story is confusing. Give it some time, its worth it. It doesnt do everything an JRPG isnt at all. It just does thing different than...

    Poll: Should FF:Versus XIII Become Multiplatform Too?

    Not a spinoff. Takes place in the same 'universe' or realm or whatever they're called. It's like how last time there was FFX11, Revenant Wings, and Tactics A2 Grimoire all part of the Ivalice Alliance series. 13, versus and aigito are all part of the Fabula Nove Crystallis series. 13 may be its...

    Final Fantasy 13 - Impressions

    Gil becomes a big deal and you can get enough upgrade stuff when it goes all openworldtastic. Sure, there is no focus on it for awhile, but there isnt really any need for awhile. Music isn't fantastic, but by no means painful. People need to give the game a bit of a chance. They are on...

    Poll: Who pre-ordered or reserved the upcoming iPad?

    While The Escapist tends to be way more intellectual and open than every other gaming forum, I usually notice some strong veins of PC elitism time to time. And if those types are more holier than thou to something other than consoles, it's apple products. I know that's a huge generalization on...

    Poll: Who pre-ordered or reserved the upcoming iPad?

    Gatti, be honest. Did you just create this thread so you could round up all the apple fanatics here in one place to do one massive group mock for their, lightly put, 'silly' choices?

    For KHIII, What films would you want to see?

    Ahhhh, nothing like putting a spoiler warning after the spoiler . . . Not that it really matters. If anyone actually bothers to click this thread they's have to have to be a KH fantatic. Or at least that's my reason for being here. And good question. I thought about that a lot with the first...

    Poll: So I had this idea...

    Ok . . .Gonna be honest on this one. When you said Madden before going into detail, I thought of NFL players running around punting the enemies in WW1. No, no, you're idea is fine. . . Strategy, yay . . .*Sigh* and not a single punting to be seen . . .

    Poll: How many hours have you put into FF 13

    Its length really varies on how much you grind. I like experimenting with different paradigms and different roles among characters, so when there was no limit for all the roles and it lost the linearity, I've just been messing around and getting pretty beefed up there. If you just crank through...

    Poll: So... Sony showed off the PS Move...

    Fair enough. Ultimately, its impossible to determine what will happen before it does, Like I said, a million things could go wrong between here and now with their plans. 1. I will admit that getting the casual is the shakier part of my audience. Overall though, the consoles are getting...

    Is the world of Final Fantasy in an Economic Crisis?

    Gil really isnt useful until you get into upgrading your items. Once the game goes open, you get tons of gil/componets. Gil suddenly has use when you need componets you can only buy to upgrade your weapons/accessories effectively. Certainly not the smartest on Square's part to make it fairly...

    Project Natal - will it be worth it?

    Damnit, I swear I keep posting this same opinion today. There needs to be just one thread about motion controls. I am not actually really aware of the pricing for Natal yet, but in the same vein of the Sony Motion deal, at first it will not be worth it. They've let Nintendo create an entire...
