You could say that about every game ever made. What do you mean?

I liked it okay. Definitely felt like corners had to be cut from lack of resources with the crappy comic booky cut scenes and use of the second playable character just to pad length.

I think this is the most dissapointed I've ever been in a game.

I don't even dislike it, it's an ok game. But if your going to put a JRPG on the list then there is at least 30 better ones that have come out in that time.

I have almost all the achievements for my FAMAS, and after that I'll move onto the FAL (which is kind of this game's version of "CoD4"'s G3, which was my favorite gun in that game).

Not crazy about this list, but then, I don't really play videogames anymore so what do I know?

When did Half-Life 2 come out? 2004, right? Hmm...Sorry, gotta say thats a rather stark oversight. Just my opinion, though.

It wasn't as bad as Devil May Cry 4 though, which forces you to backtrack the entire game with a second character with barely any differences to gameplay, Keats and Ellen had a bunch of unique mechanics and folks to collect, Keats' investigation is also funnier since he's the more cynical character and the NPCs reacted differently to both at certain parts.

I'm not hiding.

A friend mentioned that to me just last night - that I always appear offline.

I really can't figure out why, though. I checked my settings and I have the little box checked next to "Appear Online".

Next time I see you playing it, I'll invite you to a game.

Maybe in BIZARRO WORLD.

PS3, free network.

XBOX, paid network, randomly calls people CHEATERS! and bans their Xboxs for life.

Easy to see the winnar here.

Same here. HATED the WoW open world idea. Apparently XIII and Versus are going to be like that too. No word yet.

I love not paying for things that should be free.

How should XBox Live be free now? It costs money to keep that shit going. I'm frankly surprised that it's only $50/year.

I'm amazed that the PSN is still free, and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to some subscription model eventually.

No. Nope. Na-ah.

<3 my PS3.

This friend of mine <3s his 360.

We are both good people.

Also, on the whole, I've been happier with my library of games on the DS over the PSP. A lot of really great stuff, but then that's based on my tastes. I could probably name 30 or 40 DS games I have at least some interest in picking up, while my PSP list would be more 10 or 20ish.

Both are really worth having. But if I had to give one up, it'd probably be my PSP.

Given the choice between a DS and a PSP, I'd probably go with a DS.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with your personal bias since that's the system you own :P

But really, are you seriously trying to say that it just randomly picks people and bans them? Because that's not the case, at all. People who get banned deserve it.

Yeah, if you're trying to choose just one handheld, I'd really figure out what sorts of games you want to play on a handheld systema nd then investigate the game libraries for each. They offer pretty distinctive flavors.

It's hard because they both have games I'm very interested in.

This is kind of moot, though, because I just made an ENORMOUS purchase (which is secret) so I'm kind of low on cash right now. Probably won't be buying anything like this for a while.

It was a choice made because I suspect the PS3 is going to last much longer than the 360. Although, Sony's recently been giving me a little cause for concern.

Of course, getting Netflix streaming on my PS3 has healed any wounds I might've felt at one point, heh.

Xbox gamer claims to have been banned for no reason.

And the class-action lawsuit that's pending.

Whether the lawsuit has any merit remains to be seen.

I'd never heard of that case. If that's true, that's pretty lame.

But all I've ever heard of is people getting banned for using stuff like modified controllers and adding hardware to their 360 so they can pirate games.

In which case, screw 'em. They deserve it.

Agreed.
