Compared to Puzzle Quest it...just wasn't as good of a game. I played PQ for days at a time, many hours per day before I grew tired of the gameplay.
You know, it's just...honestly Bejeweled Twist (which the gameplay here is based on) isn't that fun for me I think. The pacing is slower than other match 3 games which some will say (and I will agree) that it adds a sort of ponderous layer to the moves you make and there's that extra layer of "tactical" choice. But what it gains in 'skillful' play it loses in pacing.
I really thought this game would improve on the idea of puzzle based rpg style games but after all I just feel that this entire little "niche genre" has never improved on the original Puzzle Quest and has just been regressing steadily.

Way too slow Square Enix. Way too slow.

But it costs $1 extra. :(
I'm not sure why it's bad though, the game starts out cheaper and you get options. Buying items to enhance yourself in a singleplayer game - I don't really see how it's much different from buying a strategy guide.

There's no other way about it. It's blatant profiteering and if people continue to buy and not be bothered by it; it's going to get much, much worse and soon entire levels will be day one DLC and real features.
It's just like The Sims 3 undoing 90% of the Sims 2 and its expansions just so they can re-release it for the Sims 3 as DLC and more expansions.
I honestly don't understand how it's tolerated or are all gamers Doctors and Lawyers now?

And your comment is offensively off-base - comparing offering DLC to rape is pretty fucking sick. Guess what? Nobody's forcing you to buy DLC.

XIII's battle system looks like it shares a lot in common with X-2's, with a little bit of X's. Looks interesting.
Really can't wait to play this game.

(Jus' playing!)
I played the demo of this a few weeks back and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't buy it, but would borrow it permanently if a friend lent it to me.

I'm a stubborn bastard and don't like paying for shit that should have been in the game in the first place. This new Chris 'n Jill mission SO should have been an unlockable, like how Assignment Ada was in RE4. I genuinely thought you'd get to stomp around the Spencer estate when I saw the flashback in the game, and found it odd you didn't get to. Now I knows why.
I'd rather have some new Merceneries content. Now THAT I'd probably buy. New stages, S.T.A.R.S and RE3 Jill, and Josh as a playable character. Claire would be WICKED too.

Nice job reading the post.
They're suing for all of the people who did nothing wrong and still got banned (Like my sister, for instance, who was banned for no fucking reason, she doesn't even play online, so it couldn't have been for racism or some other bullshit)
Next time read the whole thing before making yourself look like a total imbecile.

Then this is the last time we'll be seeing you aroud Kotaku, isn't it? Because if you've truly got an infalliable case here, if your sister has a purchased brand new xbox that has absolutely zero evidence of tampering on the inside and outside and truly received the same sort of ban the pirates did, you guys are about to be rolling in cash. In fact, why would you get all angry at dre? You don't need a class action lawsuit, you've got a fucking 100 percent solid case with a new xbox, absolutely no tampering in or out, and a permanent system ban.
That is, unless, you're full of it, or are about to come back here with 'wellll... it wasn't new....' or 'maybe a friend did it?' or 'oh wait, i meant a gamertag ban because she was cheating or too many people complained about her use of the word nigger'.
