An article about one mans' bad taste, who woulda thunk it?
Having the same spell names and some of the same monster names are pretty much the only thing that lets you know you're really playing a Final Fantasy game since most have a completely unrelated story to each other and all have had different game play mechanics whether it be the battle system or the way you level up. FF is always trying to improve upon itself unlike many other jrpgs that just rinse and repeat.
Why does no one complain when other genres do nothing different but ad...
If you liked 10 you'll LOVE 13. If you thought 10-2 was okay or better, this game will cause multiple orgasms.
How many hours did you put into previous final fantasy's? 40 hours is nothing in those games, it's like playing less than half a game.
You're a fool to think otherwise.
WKC looks okay, I'll be picking it up because I'm an RPG gamer at heart but to declare it'll be better than FF13 is just foolish. It's been out for a year already and I have yet to hear/read anyone who's played it to describe it as "phenomenal" unlike FF13.
"Replay Value - Bad"
That's a lie, this reviewer CHOSE to stick to the story and do nothing extracurricular that was present in the game. She beat it in 47 hours but just yesterday I was watching this feed http://www.justin.tv/rrrrui and he's 91 hours in after all the post game missions and activities (chocobo treasure hunting ect.)
I'll tell you one more thing, the after game missions and unlocka...
There is NOTHING wrong with FF13, NOTHING. So what if you have to follow a specific path up till mid-point of the game, it STILL has tons of exploration and optional things to do just like all its predecessors.
How can anyone call a game that lets you keep playing after beating the final boss linear?
They were extremely thorough in explaining why this was their choice for game of the year, I'll definitely be picking this up if I see it on sale now. I say on sale because there are still many games coming out in the upcoming months that my money will be going towards too.
RROD was switched to e74 this year, or did we all forget the rise of e74 as RROD fell? They decided to cover it under their warranty simply because it was the exact same problem and only changed the sign of the failure through firmware update to make the media think RRODs were going away. Good job M$, you're a tricky one. ;)
They're identical, good job EA
They link to deepdiscount from that same page and its price is $39.99 but without tax and free shipping so it ends up cheaper. PLUS it says that it'll take about 5 business days.
I only went through that link cuz this one was sold out but I ended up with a slightly better deal if this deep discount site is legit.
cant imagine them charging less than the post $70 a year amount.
Does this not trump "Live"? It looks like a big step above if you ask me. I wonder why there's no full game digital rental service available currently?
FFXIV is likely to pass sales of ALL previous FFs, especially now that playing online is so well integrated into consoles. It'll sell well on the PC and PS3 (the 360 too if it ends up getting released on it)
I can't wait and was reeeeally disappointed about that "2010 winter release" news
1.8 million shipped
1.5 million sold
2.0 million expected? When will the next shipment hit japan or has it already?
I can't wait to get my copy and been watching many of these http://www.justin.tv/d35064... in anticipation.
The first one would have done sooooo much better had it had online competitive muti-player. 700k aint "bad" but it could have been better. The fighting game fanatics in my friends list who have this game ALL wished for it and there's no reason it shouldn't have had it. Hopefully this new version will or they can expect only a small boost from that multi-platform decision over the 700k they sold last time.
I read manga on my PS3 this way. It reads pictures in rar files so, as long as they're numbered correctly, it's very convenient.
If I lived somewhere where I rode on trains a lot, like Japan, I could see using this on my psp.
I don't think people like you, i don't like you.
As far as MAG goes, EVERY PS3 owner (in the states?) will be able to test out the game for themselves.
I don't believe it'll be a hit or the greatest thing that happened to FPSs but at least they're trying something new. I can see a few of the negative points about the game being true which leads me to believe this.
1. Feeling insignificant in the grand scheme of the battle. Gamers want to feel like they matter ...
Then WTF is with the difference in the Neir plot-lines? Specifically made it different for us westerners...
