TIL I really suck at Radiant Silvergun.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 17, 2013
What should I do this weekend: catch up on Mass Effect 3 DLC, punch through Metal Gear Solid 3 or try Metro: Last Light on Ranger Mode?
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 15, 2013 @overdrive@joseph_valencia Still need to play that one. Another one I liked was Resonance of Fate, but that game was kind of a mess in some ways.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 15, 2013 @holdthephone@overdrive It's been a bad gen for JRPGs. Lost Odyssey is probably my #1, and even that wouldn't break my all-time top ten.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 14, 2013 @JoeTheDestroyer It was dumb that Advent Children established that Midgar was still inhabitable, because if it is, why did it eventually go to ruin?
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 14, 2013 @zippdementia@joseph That's funny, because I actually think VII's ending is pretty cool, and I'm obviously not a huge fan of the game in general.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 13, 2013 @zippdementia I rate VI highly and thrn bash on VII because VI is a terrific game and VII is a big, silly mess.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 13, 2013 @zippdementia@holdthephone Of what I've played, best to worst: VI, X, V, IV, IX, XIII, VII, I, III, II, VIII, XIII-2.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 12, 2013 @holdthephone I used to love IV, but it hasn't aged as well as V or VI. Still in the upper half of the series, though, I'd say.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 12, 2013 @joseph_valencia@holdthephone Never realized III was regarded so well. But yeah, II is in competition with VIII and XIII-2 for worst of the series.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 12, 2013 @holdthephone You probably should've played III before V. Now the job system is gonna feel even more dated.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 12, 2013 @holdthephone Have you played III before? Because, wow, have fun with that snoozefest.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 08, 2013 @zippdementia I'm on XII now, so a Google image search will have to suffice.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 08, 2013
I gave Final Fantasy X-2 about 20 minutes the other day. Yeah, sorry, but that is just not going to happen, ever.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 06, 2013 (Finished in 32 hours. Expected it to be longer, though I guess doing some side quests would've made the final boss less of a pain, yeah?)
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 06, 2013
Just finished Final Fantasy X. So... why can't all games be that good?
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 05, 2013 @JoeTheDestroyer You have to manually edit the config files? God forbid should developers of PC games just include full FOV options in-game.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 03, 2013 @overdrive Seriously, why are you and I the only two people who like that game?
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 02, 2013 @JoeTheDestroyer I was almost interested in Zeno Clash II until Totalbiscuit reported that it has terrible FOV issues, which turns me off.
Mike Suskie@SuskieMay 01, 2013 @pickhut@JoeTheDestroyer The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was another game with tricky-but-neat first-person melee combat.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 29, 2013 @holdthephone I might check it out, but I wish this one had a card game like the ones in VIII and IX.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 29, 2013 @holdthephone Really? That's been the only part that I didn't like so far. That "wall of tutorial" they hit you with brings the game to a dead stop.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 29, 2013 @JoeTheDestroyer(I'm sure there are, but I can't think of any at the moment.)
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 29, 2013 @JoeTheDestroyer Are there any other JRPGs that let you switch out characters mid-battle? So simple, but it adds so much.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 29, 2013
16 hours into Final Fantasy X. I'm in Macalania. I remained stunned by how much I'm enjoying this game.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 29, 2013 @zippdementia Evidently, Enemy Unknown just released for Mac this week.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 28, 2013 @EmP Final battle wasn't too bad, actually. KNOWING that it was the final battle meant I didn't care if anyone died. It was very liberating.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 28, 2013
Finished XCOM: Enemy Unknown with 33 hours logged. This now frees me up to devote my time entirely to Final Fantasy X, which I'm still loving.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 23, 2013 @EmP Hearing an X-COM vet say that reassures me a bit.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 23, 2013 @EmP The Overseer UFO or whatever?
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 23, 2013
My "beat it before I review it" policy is biting me in the ass with XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This game gets freaky hard in spots.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 22, 2013
Thanks, everyone. Sounds like I'll skip X-2 and go straight for XII. That one always sounded like my sort of thing anyway.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 22, 2013
Why didn't anybody tell me how awesome Final Fantasy X is? Oh, wait. Everyone did.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 21, 2013
Okay, complaint: I think putting PC games under "miscellaneous" is a mistake. Way too big and important a gaming platform to be so hard to find here.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 21, 2013 @zippdementia@holdthephone Nothing wrong with it so far. Fast-moving story, extraordinary soundtrack, plus I actually kinda like Tidus.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 21, 2013 @honestgamer I'm already getting used to it, but the Crystarium was way more streamlined than this.
Mike Suskie@SuskieApr 21, 2013 @honestgamer I see the similarities, but the thing that threw me off is how it's based on your character's physical location of the grid.
