What's your take on 12? I love it. Everything about it. Combat system, the characters, story, setting, music, sound and graphics. I love how deep it is and I think it's possibly the best one of the series, or at least on a par with 6.

I like it. No real flaws. I just need to finish it.

Cool. It's good to find somebody else that appreciates it. A truly magnificent game. The big complaint-the gambit system-is sort of like complaining that your hardcover has a dustjacket. You can choose to use it or not, lol. Me, I don't use the system too much, but I find it gives me breathing space in certain situations. As far as I'm concerned, it's just about the most engrossing game in the series, and this is coming from a guy who long held both 6 and 10 as tied for best game ever.

10???

Yes, Final Fantasy 10...I'm not using Roman numerals here. Or, did you really not know OR not a fan of FF 10?

Not really a fan, didn't think it was that highly regarded either. It's been a LONG time since I played it but I remember finding it repetitive and the story kind of vague. That side game with the underwater sport was pretty guff too.

I never played Blitzball beyond the one time you are forced to. As for its reception, it was very very very well regarded in most circles. I will say that it's no better than the 3rd best, for me, because I did try to get another game started-first time in ages-and it just seems less alive than it used to. I remember enjoying it and finding a lot of good in it. Overall, I think 12 and 6 are both more complete worlds to explore. The one thing that bothered me in my latest attempt was the stilted dialogue and voice acting, which was always my least favorite part of this game. I just loved the system and the story when it came out.

Fair do's mate! I actually really hated 12 as well as it was so damn linear, it felt like you were being shepparded down a tunnel to the next part of the story each time. Sorry! Tbh I've probably had enough of the FF series and won't be buying any new ones, I've not loved one since 7 which for me is the best. I'm a big fan of 3, 6 and 9 too.

[xodacia81]

12, linear? I've heard the complaint about 13, but 12? Far from linear. Far too much to do in pretty much any order you want, to be complained about as linear. I will say that I didn't care for 3-which over on this side of the pond, has only come out on the DS-but I loved 6 and 9. I liked 7, but I think there's too much love for it when to me, it's not what the FF series is really all about. 4, 6 and 12, far as I'm concerned, capture the spirit of the series better than any other games.

Finished up Red Dead Redemption and the Undead Nightmare dlc. Fun game with an interesting story set in last days of the cowboys. Gameplay is solid and the weapons are decent enough considering the time period. Some of the missions become a little monotonous as they basically have you doing the same thing repeatedly (especially the side missions). As big as the area is, it was somewhat disappointing to see them using the same locations over and over instead of making a few new ones. Also, the size of the towns were quite small and there was very little to explore. Solid game, but could have epic with a few additions.

As far as the undead Undead Nightmare dlc, I think this is the first time I've played a game where the dlc was just as fun (and almost as long) as the main game.

[Cyberstrike]

Dragon Age: Origins for the Xbox 360.

[Cyberstrike]

Dragon Age II and it's story based DLC, which is what I'm playing right now Dragon Age II: Legacy.

Just got Halo 4.
I haven't even turned my Xbox on since March, when I got tired of Halo Reach.
Halo games are all I play. It is a way of not dedicating too much time to video games.

Finished up ME3 the other night. What an amazing game series this has been. Glad I waited for the latest DLC and extended cinematics for the ending. I ended up making all the right choices in the previous games in order to save my favorite characters and get the ending I wanted. Very cool how it all came together in the end.

I'm really curious to see what is next as the end doesn't seem to leave much room to move forward with anything that could be as interesting and exciting as the first three games. Feel sorry for the bunch that has to try and top this....

Finally picked up Final Fantasy XIII. Still getting used to the combat system.

[Brother Darque]

just beat Devil May Cry & Dishonored.

I played and finished Dead Space 3, and am currently playing Skyrim: Dragonborn

Dead Space 3 was completely insane and the ending was incredible.

Playing through Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and my brother and friends are really into Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2. Aside from Super Smash Brothers Brawl, it's one of the only games I'm disgustingly good at (almost pro but not quite that level of gross)

[Brother Darque]

not Aliens Colonial Marines.

[Cyberstrike]

Mass Effect 2 for the PS3.

[Cyberstrike]

Mass Effect 3 and in particular the Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC it's one of the best DLCs I've played.

[iwantvaliant]

I just bought the Armorines game. I always wanted to play it.

It's...

it's good?

[Stringer]

Right now I'm playing Metal Gear Rising, Super Street Fighter 4 and Virtua Fighter 5.

[Brother Darque]

just got back on Fallout 3.

been playing this game for way too long.

[slym2none]

I just finished my 6th or 7th run through Final Fantasy 8 before I moved back down here to NC. It took my over 110 hours. As much as I love the game, I probably am going to retire it.

Related note - it's an original (not Legends) game, does it have any collectible value?

Replayed that game a few weeks back. Amazing game and it stills holds up with the best of the current crop of games as well. Just starting a redo of New Vegas now.
