I got a Wii purely for Smash Bros and the other first party games, such as Metroid and Zelda titles, and exclusives such as any Tales games and the Baten Kaitos sequel that never materialized. I'll probably be getting a Wii U just for Smash Bros and other first party games, too.

Hm, she looks rather a lot like what I made my Femshep in ME2. Somewhat different but broadly the same. More realistic, obviously, since my attempts always end up a little bit off. I might have to simply use the default this time around, heh.

For fast-paced and fun, pretty much any of the Tales games in my opinion, from the first 2D ones to the latest 3D extravaganzas. Honorary mention goes to Baten Kaitos, that was a pretty unique and fun system.

Baten Kaitos was a very successful gamble. I'd never heard of it, but saw it on a store shelf and picked it up on a whim.

My favourite combat in RPGs has always been that in the Tales games, which is far more like Reckoning's than something like Golden Sun, for example. I like how realtime combat lets you get through fights for which you aren't prepared if your personal skill is good enough. In Tales games you...

It's deplorable that Tesla isn't on that list.

Doesn't take much to have better combat than Skyrim.

You can't expect this poll to come out 50/50, though, since the Escapist readership isn't representative of the entire population. If you wanted to honestly check whether people overestimate themselves to such a degree, you'd have to have specified whether we considered ourselves above or below...

The Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright games sound like what you're looking for. People still play such games.

I'm almost the same. Finnish was my first language, followed by English, then French was mandatory through public and high school, and I've been studying Japanese through university.

"Notice that I said "release details" and not "release dates" in that lede?" What's a "lede"? It honestly shouldn't be this hard for a publication, especially one that prides itself on quality like the Escapist, to use spellcheck. Edit: well, it wasn't in my dictionary, but I guess it's a...

It concerns me that there have been an increasing number of spelling and grammatical errors in articles lately.

I could probably do 40 hours pretty easily. I think the longest I've ever actually gone was 20 or so, but I was well out the far side of tired by then.

It looks like I'll have to get one eventually for Smash Bros, but I don't really expect much else from it.

Because all games are made to make money. That and it's what, the 7th Halo game? There's a point where series need to stop.
