My account here and a few other places is my real first name, but I think surnames are remarkably stupid. Blizzard do a lot of dumb shit these days. Read more

@Caliban: Oh, that's interesting. Changed a little and shifted to jokes rather than a flirt. Read more

@The MSJ: That was really quite amusing, kudos! Read more

Most of my games aren't even from this year. I've got DA:O + A, The Witcher, Mirror's Edge, Mount and Blade: Warband, Fallout 3, MGS4, Bayonetta, AC2 and Wipeout HD to play, off the top of my head. Read more

@watafu: "They say if you cut off an extremity, it regenerates bigger" was an old troll flirt before they cut it. Read more

The turn of phrase "I may not know much about art, but I know what I like" seems rather fitting here. Read more

@Daniel Hinkles: I would have thought anyone w/o LBP by now is either waiting on the sequel or isn't interested (I'm the former). Read more

Level-5, you are making the wrong Chronicles. We do not like our Chronicles White, we like em Dark, and cloudy. Read more

I'm with Wada. I'm not a fan of mass media in general, but this is a new low. Read more

I think I'll try the 3 month dealie; you only save like 8 quid if you buy the full year, and this way you get to stop if the next month's games don't interest you. Read more

@maxnichols: We're talking FF here, so I don't know how relevant talk of pacing and levels is. Especially in FF13, it doesn't matter what order any of the locales are visited until you hit chapter 8. Read more

@mrantimatter: What? In most games the environment is related to the story. You need to go into this cave to defeat such and such dark elves, or obtain a GF or something. Read more

@mrantimatter: Yeah, that's why FF13 has lots of very pretty environments that have absolutely nothing to do with the story at all (SPOILERS), and that's even before you get to the world devoid of inhabitants and Cid's stupid reincarnation.(END SPOILERS) Read more

@maxnichols: Explains why so many games have terrible story. A big example of this would be Mass Effect 2 combining the Legion recruit mission and the Reaper IFF mission into one. It makes no goddamn sense that Legion would be on that ship at all. Read more

@Bluevirage: But the Final Fantasies are almost universally terrible in the second half of the game. World of Ruin, post Nibelheim (really post Midgar), We're playin' on the moon bitch, and so Zidane became a star, Yu Yevon... Read more

No Square-Enix, working on the game while you have not finalised the story is a terrible way of going about things. It didn't work for 12 or 13, and it won't work here. Read more

Bought it again, waiting on some friends to pick it up. Shall be fun watching them fall for traps I'm now wise to, hehe. Read more

@VincentGrey: FFV advance is one of my favourites in the series, decent difficulty and solid implementation of the job system. Read more

@Shadowstep: It's a shame that so many developers only balance the game for Normal difficulty and simply whack up the hp/damage of enemies. Mass Effect 2 is a good example of this, as biotics are a lot less useful on higher difficulties (still fun though). Read more

I mainly want this for a chance to try out some games I've missed, like Ico, SotC and Okami. It might be nice to have a Dark Cloud bundle, and FFX and DQ8 as well though. Read more
