vault_overseer Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Fallout 3 is a little WOW! Okay, just got done dealing with some vampires, well sort of vampires, and when I left to the surface I was at a train yard. I found this fridge just in the middle of the to entry ways. I investigate it and there was some purified water in there. I took it. Then all of a sudden this big scorpian jumps me. I ran. I ran like a little b***h, while pumping shot gun rounds at it with my sawed off. Holy crap. I hope New Vegas is this good. REALLY?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostStraw Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The only Final Fantasy I've ever liked was Final Fantasy XII.. which seems to be an object of great hatred for the hardcore FF-fans out there. I'm in the same boat with FFXII. Anyway.. I've been playing the free version of D&D Online and it has been fairly enjoyable so far. The interface is rather horrible though and grouping is a little difficult with people having different access to the premium content but overall it has been keeping me entertained.

Hurlshort Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I really enjoyed Fallout 3 as well. In fact, when it was released, most of the regulars here were very happy with how it turned out. Over time some have become bitter, and then there are the new folks that came over with the FO:NV announcement. Pretty standard reaction to anything that is popular. Next up on the cool to bash list is Avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I believe my favorite one was FFIV on the SNES. It's been a long time. I think you start in a mine, and there is an Opera at one point. It was pretty epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syraxis Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 My favorite FF game is a stiff competition between V, VI, and IX. Least favorites are X-2, VII, and VIII. Haven't played XIII yet, and probably won't for a long while unless they decide to port it to the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFVII has no real gameplay to speak of, and the plot and writing are suicide enducing.

Calax Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 The reason that people disliked 12 was because the battle system was basically "program the AI and fall asleep" and you could basically make a party of tanks.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 No. FF is one of gaming's great franchises, up there with Zelda, Mario, etc. In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum.

Purkake Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Uwe is just the poor man's Michael Bay. Final Fantasy, on the other hand, is supposed to be the single driving force of innovation in the stale pond that is the JRPG genre.

Purkake Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 No, every JRPG developer has been waiting for FF13, so they could copy whatever innovation from there and thus launch the next wave of JRPGs, but FF13 has been in the making for so long that the model has broken down somewhat.

Tel Aviv Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'm surprised FF8 is ranking so highly. What is with you screwballs? So, I completed Fable 2. The main plot is a bit of damn squib ...but honestly, I find Albion so likeable a world, I don't much mind. At least there I can score with chicks!!

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Saw the first few hours of FF13. Gotta say I'm impressed, even the characters/story don't seem as awful as other JRPGs. Voice acting isn't too bad either, but the most fun part looks like the combat. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back!

Tigranes Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 *shrug* I actually think it's to FF's credit that they've gone on and had such a long franchise with commercial success while trying a reasonable number of different things in different ways (story, gameplay, combat, etc), enough for a lot of people to at least enjoy some of the games. They do get grindy and I really really wish they would grow out of the whole anime emo characters, but I think they are dismissed too easily - they are often built very very well in terms of pacing and balance and do a good job of making you feel challenged or rewarding you for work (grind), they also pace and deliver the story very well and the games do look beautiful most of the time. I tried 10 and 12 but they were too emo for me, 5/6/7 really was the golden era although I enjoyed 9 for the kitsch parody throwback it was. I thought they really missed out with 12 in that they had a great world setting and some very nice elements in the story that could have raised it a level and made it a bit more 'mature' (the war, political intrigue stuff) but it became a macguffin soon enough.

Volourn Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 "I'm surprised FF8 is ranking so highly. What is with you screwballs?" best FF ever. No contest. The fact that it's graphics (espicially the FMVs) are as good as anything today is fantatsic. Characetrs, story, combat, freedom, loot, music, graphics, everything was sexy (thoguh admittedly the story does have two major head scratchers). Not just one of the best FFs ever. One of the best games ever. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
