I'll admit that I am a SpoonyOne fan, if this gets 1.5m then Richard agreed to get roasted by Noah which I want to see.

I've never played I, II, III or V but IV and VI are the fucking shit. Unless you don't count them as early... I doooon't know if they have DS versions, but if they do you should pick them up!

It's easy to get yourself trapped in a corner like that if you go into things underpowered and unprepared. That's why there are save files, and save states...

The 3D remake of FFIV is the best ff ever. The only real con to get past is the anime-style art and cheesy voice acting in the [limited] cut-scenes.

The GBA remakes of IV V and VI are all outstanding and have expanded content from the originals. If the originals were 10s, these are 11s.

The NES games are unforgiving. The SNES versions are easier by comparison, but not FFV. That game is a real challenge...and FFIII (FFVI) is decently difficult as well, especially playing through the first time.

Think I'm going to start a retro-gaming thread...

Theres no since of progression whatsoever.

Just get an Amplifier Shield and blitz through the game.

Im talking about loot drops not the actual difficulty of the game.

I thought The Witcher 2 was pretty lame, too. It's kinda similar imo.



I agree 100%. Both of the witchers were laughably bad. They tried so hard to be dark and edgy and sexual but its clear the games were written by someone with the outlook of a 15 year old. Its the same as superhero comics. The macho ubermensch bullshit just puts me to sleep. Give me spider jerusalem over bruce wayne any day.

Join a good corp. There's no fast track to anything in EVE, you'll always be playing keep-up with people who have been training for years.
Also brush up on your Microsoft Excel skills and get a comfortable chair :lol:

sigh. only played the first level and a half, and it looks like the newest Ratchet And Clank is a 3ps hybrid with a tower defense game.

i fucking HATE tower defense games.

i'll give it a level or two more, then i'm off to Spec Ops if it doesn't get more fun.

Everything I saw lead me to believe that.

Arkham city is pretty fun, almost done with it. Getting too pro a CS:GO...too many people rage quit when I play, start using only pistols. People get so mad when I snipe them with a pistol while they're sniping.

I'm going to go back to the wii soon. Still have a couple games I want to play and those Kirby games look pretty cool.

Finds herself in a room full of decapitated body parts and piles of human remains from about 200 people -> finds killing a deer distressing

Rock Climbs up a 30 meter high cliff in a storm at night -> Gets scared by a wolf in a cave

Single side quest to find First Aid -> Swims through a rancid water passage full of corpses while having unprotected open wounds.


I know, video games. It has such inconsistent survival dynamics.
