Re: My jaw is broken

That was actually one of the most messed up stories that I've heard in a while. The guy must have clipped you just right to do that kind of damage. At work, I've been hit in the head by a shield, slashed in the stomach by a sword(it was dulled down though), and stepped on by a horse but I never got ...

Re: Final Fantasy XIII

I found Lightnings character to be pretty boring, actually I found the character development a little boring in general in FFXIII. Trust me, you aren't the only one. FF13 is considered to one of if not the worst FF game. It's even more hated that FF12(and that's hard to believe). The battle system ...

Re: Final Fantasy 8 and 10 - Funny reviews!

Spoony has a video up where he kind of reviews FF13 if you guys are interested. He does a little rant about how crappy wrestling has become(which I agree with), and then does a long ass rant about FF13(which I also mostly agree with). He also praises Persona 4, which is cool since I love that game. ...

Re: Valkyria Chronicles...

I know I'm extremely late, but I just got this game recently. Nobiyuki77 and Alunissage are right, this is easily the best next gen RPG out there. FF13 is garbage in comparison(and I'm a pretty big FF fan).

Re: Twilight: Eclipse

For me, its entertainment. I like the story as far as romance goes (I'm a sucker for that crap). I look past the non-realistic aspects of the story simply because I know its a movie. I like a good love story every now and then myself, but I'd hardly call this series good. However, Edward stalking h...

Re: The Karate Kid

The original Karate Kid is one of my favorite films of all time, but this remake doesn't look so good to me. I especially don't like how the main character is a lot younger.

Re: Twilight: Eclipse

This is probably my most hated series of all time. I'll just copy and paste what I said in a different topic. The series is nothing but poorly written garbage. The two leads are suicidal emos, the love story is forced and ridiculous, the climax of the series consists of two groups staring at each ot...

Re: Final Fantasy XIII

I beat the game. It's good, but far from amazing. I'd say that 6, 7, 9, 10, and Tactics are far better games. This one is more at the level of 4, 5, or 8. Still, it's lightyears beyond 1, 2, 3, 11, or 12. If you're short on cash, there are definitely better games that came out recently though. Heavy...

Re: Best Console Generation For RPGs?

PS1 era was the best by far. Not only did lots of classics come from there, but we also got ports of older classics(such as FF6 and Chrono Trigger).

I agree with LuNaRtIc. Avatar wasn't bad by any means, but it was far from great. Up deserves Best Picture this year if you ask me.

Re: Okay, Nintendo, I've traded in all your junk for a PS3.

I actually really liked FFX's straight-forwardness, so I'm quite fine with that. As long as the story and characters are top notch, I'll be happy. I felt FFXII lacked a really good story. I actually gave up on it most of the way through. Though the battle system was fun. I don't think 13 has much i...

Re: Vampire Hunter D

I loved the art minus Leila. She was kind of...ick. She is more pretty in the novel and manga anyway. I hated it all. Leila was just the worst one. I especially hate what they did to D. Granted, I don't know how he looked in the novels, but he was far more masculine looking in the first film. He lo...

Re: Okay, Nintendo, I've traded in all your junk for a PS3.

Honestly, the only thing I use my PS3 for is FIFA and Blu-Ray. Check out Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I'd easily give that the title of best PS3 game. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is pretty great as well. Though I do plan on hitting up FFXIII when it comes out. Hopefully it's better than...

Re: Thousand Arms

This game holds some nostalgia for me. It's not really that special when you go back and play it today though. 7/10 is what I'd score it.

Victor Ireland vs. Lunar Eclipse... oh snap! I seriously doubt that Vic would post here though, it's probably just some random guy. Still, this should be entertaining.

I've got no problem with the character designs in the first first film. I don't think Amano worked on the sequel, but I could be wrong.

Re: Xenogears: Great game or mediocre at best?

Also, I have to say I'm not a fan of the "press various buttons to make attacks" systems. They usually end up in the same general amount of damage. It just seems like an arbitrary change to make combat seem different than the norm. Same goes for Chrono Cross' combat, but that game had a w...
