| The ending they finally delivered with the extended cut was a vast improvement and kind of ok, but the original one was just rushed and really bad and everyone at Bioware should have seen it. And the synthesis stuff is just bullshit, no matter how you look at it. I got also really mad at their DLC policies, the ones in ME 1 were just some nice extras, but some of the stuff in ME 2 (notably The Arrival) already affected ME 3 in a negative way, if you hadn't bought it (which is an insolence). In ME 3 they obviously cut major chunks out of the game to sell them at an obscene price separately. Still, I enjoyed the trilogy and it propably was the defining video game series of my youth. > I disliked how the "internet" exploded by giving it 0s on day 1. Though there were elements that may not have been seen as favorable, the amount of negativity and hate was overblown. I had a blast personally. Yeah, they way overreacted. Then again, it brought me the hilarious Marauder Shields meme, so maybe it was worth it :) |

| While I did enjoy the Mass Effect trilogy and would play a 4th game if ever came out, it's definitely a series packed with flaws. On game 3 we have NotJizzyHitler said: id like to say battlefield 4 is the best game ever, its story made cry, my favorite character was the black guy because he was a guy who was black and he told me to open doors which id of never figured out on my own such a great puzzel, I enjoy the shooty shooty you do and how things look pretty when you shoot them I shed a tear just remembering how awesome that game is. |

May the denizens of hell make you suffer for all eternity. Curious as to why you don't admire Western games. Also hey, you're not the only one here who likes Persona 4. It simply just has no place in this thread specifically. |

| Mass Effect, as a whole, was my favorite experience to come out of this generation of video games. I still have to experience supposedly stellar titles such as The Last of Us. For this generation of video games, which ones stood out for you? |
Nagisa33 said: Dota 2, Dishonored, Batman arkham series, left4dead 2, The walking dead (which is pretty surprising considering how I loathe the TV adaptation), and Shadow of colossus just because I only played it recentlyFor this generation of video games, which ones stood out for you? on and pokemon X/Y if they counts |

Brawl, and Mass Effect. I spent a lot of time on all these games, 100% on most of 'em (which I don't do often). For Indie: Jamestown, Minecraft, Super Meat Boy, Terraria, and To The Moon. There were a ton of games that I played from before this generation that I really enjoyed this past year, too. |

| Is Fire emblem: Awakening really that good? I have been considering to buy it these days, but I haven't played the franchise before, at all. |
|
| It is really excellent turn-based strategy with a solid plot and as difficult as you want it to be. If you like the genre, you will propably like the game. |
|
| Who here is going to buy Dark Souls 2 on either PS3 on PC next month? I'll buy it on PS3 the 14th and play the shit out of it before buying it on PC to play coop with some friends, then switch between the two for PvP. |

doraemon1992 said: Is Fire emblem: Awakening really that good? I have been considering to buy it these days, but I haven't played the franchise before, at all. Fire Emblem Awakening is my first dive in to the strategy RPG genre and I'm loving it. I played it on Lunatic at first but then it was too difficult so I jumped down to Hard. Hard is just right for me and it offers the challenge that I'm comfortable with (but it can kick my butt if I don't plan appropriately). Lunatic really is for veterans or people who have beaten the game a few times. I'm going to play it once I beat the game though. When I started winning I got a feeling of satisfaction that I haven't felt since Dark Souls. If it's too difficult or you don't want to waste time grinding (though grinding isn't required to win) you can always download EXPonential Growth DLC for a mere $2.50. There's a lot of replayability and depth. You can listen to multiple character interactions, try new strategies, focus on different units, forge your weapons, build relationships, have kids, branch out to new classes, utilize unique skills, try online challenges, and check out some quality (and cheap) DLC. I'm more than half way through now and the further I go, the more options become available to me. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you're looking for rewarding gameplay and solid character interactions. |

It sure is going to be a deathly exciting experience! I've been avoiding all spoilers and I'm not going to go on the forums or wikis until I beat it at least once. I want minimal assistance. I love accomplishing challenges, big or small, and discovering secrets out on my own. Though getting a little help from a phantom buddy from time to time is fine too. Hopefully there will be a character as fun as Solaire or Siegmeyer in DS2. Ahhhh! I can't wait! :) |

I asked because I want t do some coop and/or duels with you guys when I've completed the game once or twice. Too bad you're getting it on 360, the only console I don't own. |

Imagine being that of a completionist that you MUST max out each character and get the best weapon. But then again, there are so many stages and so many DLC stages. I decided to beat all stages on all difficulties, which does help that "level up" idea. Damn, now I feel like playing WO3 ;_; |

| I like Warriors too, but I'm not really liking their "one step forward, three steps back" -game design in recent stuff. I frequently think I should just go back and play DW 4 or something. As for western games, I only play some Skyrim really. A fun game, but unfortunately even with all the "improvements" in gameplay it stills plays like ass. Honestly I don't feel that it plays any different from Oblivion. I have also been playing some RTS, mainly Anno every now and then. I seem to have lost my interest in more combat oriented games of the genre so now I'm looking back towards building sims, since I too have become more casual over the years and just want to relax building charming cities. |
mecharobot said: I like Warriors too, but I'm not really liking their "one step forward, three steps back" -game design in recent stuff. I frequently think I should just go back and play DW 4 or something. I actually thought that Dynasty Warriors 7 was a huge improvement in the series. But it did have those steps back, because the leveling system was horrible and didn't really promote playing different characters. The Story Mode however was fantastic. |

But as long as we're still focused on mostly Western games here, it's not a big of a problem.

It's been a while since I've played a Sims game. Still, I haven't really invested a lot of time with one. Once I build my own PC someday I'll get back into PC gaming again. Skyrim is a fun game for sure, and I guess it's my introduction to the ES series. I did download Morrowind last year, per Nid's and lordzeru's persuasion. Oh yeah, anybody here looking forward to ESO? Let me know how it is (if you're in the beta)! Lastly, what upcoming games are you guys looking forward to this year? |

dietmango said: Oh yeah, anybody here looking forward to ESO? Let me know how it is (if you're in the beta)! Lordzeru and I tried it an hour ago. His game crashed five or six times (lucky tengu), so I ended up playing by myself. The game is really crappy though. Its a watered down version of Skyrim with the first quests being really boring, like, collect three items to open the door etc. Of course there are some glitches, like my character running as if he was mentally challenged. It wouldn't be a problem if the game was f2p. But SUBSCRIPTION for THIS pile of SHIT? No way. Biggest flaw was not allowing me to make my character black. How can he be JOHJ if he isn't black? SERIOUSLY! |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Western games.. western games... let's see... I just beat the 2008 Prince of Persia. I wanted to like it because of the amazing art direction, but the gameplay is just too flawed. I also beat Gun recently. Bad game. I'm not sure why, but I haven't been playing good Western games lately. I will surely play better ones while I work my way through my backlog. I'll probably beat Dragon Age II next, since I'm on the final act. I've been playing lots of Japanese games lately. I beat the third Phoenix Wright game yesterday (although I owned it since its release...), and it was quite the good conclusion to the original trilogy. I also beat Sonic CD and Sonic 4: Episode 1 recently. Sonic CD was fantastic. Sonic 4 was flawed, and its final boss battle made me quite annoyed (it is difficult to annoy me, so that's a bad sign). I deleted it as soon as I beat it. I picked up the legendary shoot 'em up, Mushihime Futari this evening from a local shop, and is great fun. Probably my favorite shoot 'em up since Jamestown. |
dietmango said: Lastly, what upcoming games are you guys looking forward to this year? Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost (out already), Drakengard 3 (pre-ordered), Tales of Xillia 2, Tales of Zestria, Ragnarok Ace and Dark Souls 2 ofc. Maybes: Tales of Symphonia HD, Final Fantasy X HD, BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma, Conception II (for the lolz) and Deception IV. Oh sh*t wait... |
