It's an inferior BG 2.

Stop now. Seriously, you'll regret it.

Especially when they get to the laughing scene... *shudder*

It's probably the best of the next-gen RPGs, but it's still not that great of a game. There's just too much missing.

You wont. The puzzles are far too easy, I did enjoy the combat though.

He's not joking, FFX is just fucking dull, get FFXII though, it takes a bit to get good but ends up great. I started the newest one last week and despite having played and completed almost every one before it i'm actuall finding it quite difficult.

I loved FFXII. I've tried a few of the others in the series but they didn't do anything for me. FFXII, though, had a great story and great set of lead characters. Most of the characters in the new game, on the other hand, look bland and uninteresting to me however :( I'll still give it a try, of course.

What am I playing now? :ddpan: I wish I could say I was playing The Last Guardian :ddpan: :ddpan: But the release date has been pushed out to November or December :ddpan: :ddpan: :ddpan:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Heroes over Europe.

The graphics are not great but the missions are quite a challenge.

Borderlands.

A mix of FPS and RPG, not bad so far. Clever use of cartoon strip graphics and very good "atmosphere".

Until, of course, you realise that every quest is "go to point A and collect/drop off/kill X" then return.

It does get quite repetitive... but it's an interesting and fun game to play until you reach the point where make that realisation and turn it off. :biggrin:

Doom 3 and Dynasty Warriors Empires 6.


Not easy to tell which is scarier, in all honesty. Doom stops being scary the third time the Imps (Dunno what they're called now, they were imps in the original doom) jump out of a vent. DW, however, gets hell scary when the boss your fighting can kill you in four hits and you spend most of your time one hit away from death just so you can use your Musou to attack without fear of getting hit.
