Tomb Raider Underworld
This game makes me sick. No, not metaphorically sick, as in "is too bad". It truly makes me feel dizzy after playing it for some minutes. Barely got to that temple-thing stage with the giant lizards.
Pokémon white
Single player mode pokemon is still boring as hell if you already played any game of the series. Add weak-sauce starters to that and it becomes a huge meh.
DMK/Tempest: sticky-ing (?) this or not is up to you.

Drakengard (PS2)
Played the first three missions a couple of times. Noticed there were a lot of weapons with several levels each, and each mission was around 1 hour long. I realized I had to spend my 1 year worth my gaming time to get anywhere in the game ... so I just stopped playing.

Actually I did see at least one of the endings, and I heard that before :P I just started playing it because one night my cousin and I maxed out a buttload of weapons and I noticed the game looked good and the premise of killing hundreds of enemies every single mission was appealing to me. Apparently I just played like 2% of the game and it took me 10 hours, so YEAH

Dante's Inferno Great game it's almost mindless fun, but I like the disturbing imagery of various parts of hell and some of the fucked up enemies. It is apparently stupidly short so I must be close to the end. Just stopped playing due to work-related stress and fatigue.
Final Fantasy 8 (replay) This is like the third time I've tried to replay this game since I beat it 2 weeks after it was released. Once again I was unable to finish it(stopped after visiting the destroyed garden). It's still boring as hell and I dislike almost every character in the game after this last partial play through.

Ninja Gaiden 2 :
I've never regretted a game purchase up until I bought this, it's just flashy effects with very basic mechanics and horrid camera control. Anyone who is interested should just buy Onechanbara : Bikini Samurai Squad instead.

Final Fantasy 13 the game is really cool and as far as i played it the story was nice as well but the bad part was it got boring to me and i got stuck in the game and i still got it i just dont play it that often maybe when ever Final Fantasy 13-2 come out i will play it again just for the story but until then it will probably sit in the dust just like the rest

Vanquish (PS3)
Aside from the downright abysmal story and characters, there's really nothing wrong with the game. I picked it up because I'm a fan of Platinum Games, but I just don't really like shooters at all.

Fallout: New Vegas
Better than Fallout 3? Damn straight. Moddable? Fuck yes. Open World? Of course. Fun? Definitely. I will be returning eventually. Simply burned out on it after marathoning shortly after purchase and accidentally majorly screwing up my progression through the plot. Fixed the problem, but the frustration burnt me out.

Final Fantasy VII is either blatanly overrated crap or the best game ever depending on how much you like the cast; it's completely hit or miss. I hate it, not a single likable character.

Every JRPG game
I try to finish them, but I always end up stopping playing them and try to get back to them after a few months but just lose interest. Most recent example would be Persona 3, and the oldest one would be Chrono Trigger which I've replayed up to 3 times but never gotten to completion and both the Earthbound games. It's either the combat or the filler dungeons or the storylines which turn me off.
On the other hand I've completed every WRPG game I've played (and I've replayed through Vampire The Masquerade : Bloodlines more than 5 times)

DMK/Tempest: sticky-ing (?) this or not is up to you.
Stickied for now as I like the idea, if you don't feel like it fits Tempest feel free to unsticky it.
For myself I stopped dead in Far Cry 2. Near the beginning it was an awesome game, but nearing the end the constant weapon jamming, DRIVING EVERYWHERE, respawning checkpoints and that damn malaria I couldn't bring myself to play another second. Thankfully Crysis 2 was no where near as bad.

Magna Carta (PS2) : beautiful graphics at the time, wonderful design, but a shitty and boring fighting system on PS2, while it was supposed to be great on PC. A bad fighting system in a RPG just kills it ...
Tekken 5 (PS2) : I've tried playing Tekken several times, and while the characters have charisma and the game is overall nice, I just don't like the gameplay. Damn too slow, and it feels too much like a smashing game (but that's because I don't know how to play :P). Sould Calibur, Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive are just better games than Tekken to me.
Sonic Adventure DX (PC) : it had been a long time I hadn't played Sonic for the Dreamcast, so I bought the PC version (along with other Sonic games). The gameplay, while not so bad, showed huge camera problems that made me stop playing it after passing the 2 first levels.

Dynasty Warriors 7 Was fine at first, but then you soon realize that any character who uses the same weapon has the same moveset. The story/campaign has decent storytelling but the gameplay and something else just felt off... Or maybe its because I just bought Mount & Blade and been playing hours upon hours on it.

Dead Rising 2 The timeframe you're expected to use to get from one side of Fortune City to the other pisses me off to no ends. It can get boring if you aren't creative enough to find new ways to kill zombies, or you don't like putting a Blanka mask on one and socking him in the fucking face with a bat. Stopped on the 4th chapter, will probably pick it up again later.

It went from fun to shit as all the enemies gang rape you and drain your health in mere seconds and sure you can buy characters and moves, but they all disappear after every continue.

Silent Hill 2 and 3: Defective disks.
pretty much every shooter I play. It gets old after 3 or 4 missions. I cant play online so maybe that is why.

But this time is fun... for 20 minutes. After that, the game becomes boring, and it's only fun for battles with other people (and sometimes, that's boring too :gonk: ).

I was estatic over the game and was fairly hyped for it, but after going 3 whole chapters of the same'ol chambers and "dungeons" I'd find myself just barely pushing on to the point I've stopped dead. i must confess though the new items have me tempted to pick it up and try to finish it.

Not because I would of hated it, but I picked it up yesterday, put the game in the tray and it just wouldn't load up. Then when I tried ejecting the disc it came out freaking spinning. Found it there was a crack on the disc, a small one, but apparently big enough to cause that much trouble.

all trophies are hidden and from what I get every single action you do or not do determines if you get one or not.
The first hour got me so bored. Playing with your kids and feeding one just got me really extremely bored.

"Oh, cool. Another gba version of a well know TRPG series. I wonder if it's kinda lame compared to the original, like Final Fantasy Tactics" I said. Then I started playing it. I was wrong, it was lame compared to the original, it was lame on it own. Gameboy color graphics and stupidly long and slow battles due to poor damage output killed what could be an interesting game.

No More Hereos 2 Desperate Struggle.
Didn't hate it, just got extremely sick of it. I overplayed it so much it's ridiculous. Even though the whole game every time through i complained about how it was no where near as good as the first one. IMO, the first one killed the second one.
The only benefits I think the second one had over the first one was the ability to play with the cat, all the mini-game extras, and the fact you get to use other characters from time to time. I miss the cell phone type calls you get on the first one that have the characters talk through the wii remote though, I also miss driving through town on my boss motorcycle, instead you get to look at it every time you leave the Motel and automatically show up to the spot you've chosen after clicking on it. Real bogus IMO. Anyways, like I said I did enjoy the game, I just miss playing the first one and I can't find it anywhere out here. The only copies I have seen at gamestop are severly damaged, so I might just have to get it from the internet somewhere.

Duke Nukem Forever
Now I was expecting this to not be the most revolutionary game (due to it's long development time) but what I was not expecting was how uninspiring the game would be.
The game just ends up being a generic copypasta FPS CoD ripoff that has you interacting with objects to gain a "Ego" boost, a bit too sensitive controls and generic graphics and music. you can blow through the game easily by only using rpgs and pipebombs cause you'll rarely use any of the other guns in the game. And speaking of guns, you can only carry two in the game. Why? Online sucks too. On my side, I always disconnected from XBL (and no, it's not my connection) and the load times on the 360 are ungodly slow!! There's more but I don't wanna overdo it

Borderlands.
Not a terrible game by any means, but I can't finish this game, I quit it twice and I started back recently with my friends...and I would much rather play other games. Is it bad? Not particularly, but not great either.
Also I stopped playing L.A. Noire.
A great game. Very boring. Repetitive. I love this game, but I can't stand to play it for more than an hour a session. The story-driven gameplay is great, but the actual gameplay is the same shit over and over. It's like Enslaved, actually, anyone play that?

he didn't exactly focus entirely on the graphics, either. what I picked up from Cryonemesis's post was that he just thought that everything about the game was generic. he also stated bad load times.
however, like you, i was referring to cazaki's post. when he said that he played it on a maxed-out PC, which can affect more than just the graphics.

There are also frame rate drops, bugs and all other sorts of fuckery on the 360 that are not present on the PC. Also the PC's online play has been perfect for me. I also said it's good for what it's worth, in that you shouldn't even expect a FPS that will change the market. It plays how it should, I felt that it was a very fun and rewarding game to play through, despite some extremely minor changes from DN3D that people keep criticizing.

Sorry, I probably should've explained it better, but I didn't want to make a wall of text. As I said in my post, I was well aware that this wasn't going to be a game changer. And trust me, I respect your opinion. But when it comes down to it, this game feels below average to me. I have heard that the load times on PC are better and there are less bugs on that version too, but even with a good connection on both versions, you're bound to have some problems. having good graphics and music is a good thing but you also have to have balanced gameplay as well, and I think they fall flat on both parts. Graphics look like something you would see on a PS2 game and gameplay feels like your average everyday FPS shooter. I will agree that it can be rewarding though. People say that this is supposed to be for duke fans old and new, but it hardly does that well. why do have regenerating HP? Why can't you carry more guns ala HL2? In short, I can agree that this game can be fun if you're willing to look past all that, but to me, the game just feels lacking in a few areas.
Sorry bout the long text.

I gave that one a shot due to good things I read online. But I found the controls with weapons extremely frustrating - I tried three weapons, each of them felt really slow and difficult to control. When I want to harvest 5 mushrooms from a tree, it takes like 15 seconds because I have to push the button to reach for each one individually - what the hell? There is also no story to keep me going, is hunting bigger monsters with bigger weapons really all you do in the game?
I dunno, it felt repetitive after two hours.. :(

F.E.A.R. 3 on PS3, which was supposed to be awesome... in the end:
- 2 or 3 creepy moment (for a horror-type game, i find it kind of ridiculous) - went through the 6 first stages in like 4 hours to only encounter a bunch of possessed humans running towards you (all looking the same), the casual army/special ops guys on your ass, and the monster that appears here and there... - graphically speaking, very disappointing... - the action is not even fun compared to a good ol' Modern Warfare - the multiplayer sucks balls

Final Fantasy 12 You can define some very advanced rules on what you want your characters do in combat situations. The game essentially plays itself, you just need to walk...or stand on a respawn spot and your characters level up by themselves. I didn't even need to do anything in boss battles. The characters could heal, resurrect each other, attack, remove status effects, etc automatically, I just had to wait till they won.
Aion Monsters are not moving around unless you go very close to them, and they don't have elemental weaknesses or resistances, so every battle is the exact same thing. Boring as hell. There are enemy faction players who can PK you in some low level areas. Monsters don't drop items or give exp if they are about 10 level weaker than you, so you can't take advantage of your higher level character to hunt equipment for your low level ones. I was playing Sorcerer, which was supposed to be the AOE magic class, and got my very first AOE spell at lv28. It didn't work (probably bug), and even if it did, it was worthless (low damage and 3 minutes of cooldown). So I stopped playing at lv28. (Note that max level is 55 so 28 is already halfway there.)

Unless you did mad grinding I don't think you are completely factual. Bosses like the Elder Wyrm and some of the later hunts couldn't be beaten that simply. People always talk like FFXII plays itself but really you have to be pretty involved halfway through if you want to make it. Not only that, but gil is scarce so item gambits weren't so valuable, plus you often didn't have enough MP to just cruise along.

A very nice racing game, until I realized that for some reason Online Mode isn't working. Probably has to do with Activision shutting down Bizarre Creations. After multiple tries and configurations, I decided to return this game.

SR3, maybe since they open all the cards from the start, after sometime it feels boring... san andreas was way more successful in their humor, story development, and its more serious gangs.
after few days, some luchadores, asian roller skater chicks, and vamps have lost its comical value.
still fun to mindlessly roam around terrorizing pedestrians, but frankly skyrim has killed it.

It's possibly the worst one they created. The Single and Multiplayer mode is terrible, the graphics and sounds aren't that good, the AI is braindead, the bosses are useless (because of the AI and the way you kill them), the voice acting is bad, the gameplay is broken for everything and the way the story goes makes no sense to me. Seriously, what the hell was Square Enix thinking?
Oh, and I'm starting to think they misspell the name, instead of making this intentional. After all, it's supposed to be Mind---H---ack. The same characters said it that way.

One of the best RPG's I've ever played. It has alot of humor but at the same time, the storyline really keeps you on your toes. The symphonic OST for the NA version is freakin' awesome. My only gripe is leveling since it takes forever to level up which is very annoying.

Metal Slug Touch for the Itouch So I got it from a friend, he said it's crap and being a die hard Metal Slug fanboy, I didn't believe it. He was right. Horrible controls and gameplay. Do not buy this game.

AION: Ascension
This game was previously subscription based and recently went F2P. When it was released, people called it a "WoW killer" but umm... this game is a piece of shit. The combat is a joke (I spent 2 minutes trying to melee a monster that was running away and it kept running out of range when my character stopped to do her attack animation).

Raiden Fighters Jet
When I first saw the gameplay vids, that game sounded fun to play but when I did, it's a lot tougher and that game's very strict. It forces you to survive all the levels otherwise you'll never get the ending. For example, if you survive 3 levels without dying and you die at the next, your chances of reaching the higher stages are cut in half. I tried to use the techniques used by other players but to no avail and I have a low survival rate. I prefer playing RF2 than Jet because of no restrictions and I know a lot of the game's secrets such as hidden fairies and micluses.

Tales of Graces F
I don't know how far I am in the game, but it still hasn't managed to make me laugh with anything, skits are boring and characters don't have any sense of humour at all (only two end battles were funny). The story is uninteresting so far too. The worst I've seen is that the majority of characters are unlikeable. Pascal is my favourite so far, since she at least tries to be funny and not serious all the time.

Killing Floor
I've been looking forward to trying out this game for a while now, and thanks to a certain generous individual (you know who you are) I was given a 2 day guest pass on Steam. Killing Floor is exactly as I expected it to be: loads of fun. The closest thing I could compare it to is TF2's MvM mode, but much more demanding and unforgiving. Even on Normal difficulty your average match can be quite the challenge, as dying forces you to sit out the wave until it's completed, and should your entire squad be decimated...game over. And should you survive, at the end awaits the final boss who can easily ruin all the effort, should there be not enough teamwork. The weapon selection from what I've seen looks good and a lot of guns are viable, depending on your style and perk choice (you get to pick one at the start of the round, which gives you certain bonuses).
So yeah, Killing Floor is certainly something I'd contemplate purchasing. If you got a bunch of friends, plenty o' time to spare, and love a good challenge, go buy it and shoot sum zombays.

So far numerous improvements have been made to controlling your character, the gameplay is smoother, awesome scenes abound, sweet monster designs, and the action is rather decently designed.

Honestly, I'm not sure why they keep calling it Resident Evil. Sure, they use characters from old games, but it's so different now that I can't just swallow it as a sequel.

Super Mario Sunshine -------------------------------- recent time spent on neogaf and learntocounter forums have made me depressed about our current generation so i decided to play a last gen game. Gorgeous visuals for its time, very fun and very varied gameplay, amusing level design, nice puzzles, and it gave me many things to do.
this game is also not my definition of how super marios bros is supposed be 2/10

Resident Evil 6. The technical problems abound (online lag, annoying cut-scene transitions, building textures flat-out disappearing,etc). The game lacks ANY sort of creepy/or horror factor that you'd expect in a RE game (hell even RE5 had some of that) and the lack of innovation, shitty overcomplicated controls, and camera (probably the worst camera mechanics of any recent RE game) make it a bad action game.
Resident evil stopped being good the second Mikami walked out on Capcom.
fixed.

resident evil 6
i decided to play this fucking pile after i said so many bad things about it without even playing the completed game (i did play the demo). bad controls, horrible camera (despite available settings), atrocious combat, lots of framerate issues. i don't even mind the COD similarities but it's not pulling any of that right. it's a bad game. resident evil is dead.
i would assume he was, considering it was the game series he created
Hm, he was involved pretty heavily with 2 (he and Kamiya often disagreed about stuff, but eventually he only demanded monthly status updates), and I think he was involved in some capacity with 0, but other than that I'm pretty sure reading that he had a hands-off approach.

Shinobi on 3DS. I'd give it a 7.5 It's decent overall, but irritating at times. Also the graphics are quite bad - it's a shame, cuz 3DS is capable of much more. My favourite Shinobi game is still a Shinobi on PS2 (where you play as Hotsuma), but this one is pretty decent too.

they never alive for me, if I want to be scared I'll play Silent Hill or Fatal Frame, if I want to play sneaking around undetected, I'll play Metal Gear, if I want to see mutated monster, I'll play Parasite Eve.
once I played RE2 years ago, and I stopped the moment I have to push around statues and put jewels on them of which I got after I lighted a fireplace oh and unicorn medallion too, that was a police precinct not a ninja castle, I can understand in Silent hill we have to do illogical thing because the setting is a limbo with supernatural events happening, but RE tried to put zombies as a logical result of science went wrong and then putting this stupid puzzle stuff in the mix, and also why do we have to make herbal stuff to tend wounds in a metropolitan setting, why not just raid an abandoned drugstore nearby to get whatever antidote, bandage, and stuff we need, got damn capcom

I'm sorry that puzzles were too unrealistic for you in a game with a magic virus that turns people into zombies and makes spiders 100 times bigger and can make Terminators.
and also why do we have to make herbal stuff to tend wounds in a metropolitan setting, why not just raid an abandoned drugstore nearby to get whatever antidote, bandage, and stuff we need, got damn capcom
It's a game mechanic, it's about as realistic as Silent Hill's magic healing items too.

it is not about realism, but it is about going in the right theme, I won't complain if somehow we have to open a safe box, which combination numbers is saved in the police chief computer, and to open his computer you need to know the user password, that is mentioned in his agenda inside his overcoat pocket hanged in the coat room. that would feel more natural rather than getting medallion and push around objects in the right formation as if we are inside an egyptian burial site

Silent Hill is not real, it is in a world where supernatural events and exist. I mean what is the different when the game has a bunch of different medicines, let say pain killer and anti inflammation, and you can combine the two into one capsule, instead of a herbal potted plants scattered everywhere, while they have no decoration function, even the pot is ugly, why are they around, why not some medical boxes with said medicines?

No? Not really? RE isn't trying to be sci-fi and hidden passages and medallion collection isn't only the realm of the medieval.
also if it makes you feel better they explain why the police station has all those crazy puzzles, it's because the police chief put them all in there and he is LITERALLY insane.
I didn't make things out of nothing, I just expressed that those things have ruined my RE gaming experience
Why would crazy puzzle things be present in a police station completely ruin your gaming experience? That's crazy.

Fable: The Journey.
Yeah, I'm a moron for playing this game, and my friend is a moron for buying this and playing it too. I should have expected something terrible after playing Fable 3. Let's just get this over with and give the feedback of 1-hour or more of gameplay. Or basically, how it went.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- First thing we noticed, no co-op. Which was the reason he invited me. After all, we did play Fable 3 together in co-op, and he thought it would have an option for co-op. We checked and there wasn't. So we had to make a 1-hour/person like we did in Rise of Nightmares. I was the second to start, while grabbing some popcorn as if it was a movie.
- Second, which I honestly was surprised, though my friend wasn't really, is that the Kinect works while you're sitting for this game. I just can't picture a game like that to work while sitting. Or at least that's what I thought until...
- Third, the damn first 30 minutes are about riding a damn horse, so here you have the reason why you have to sit. Or rather, controlling a carriage. We decided to switch because my friend was getting insanely bored of that after 30 minutes. So it was my turn to suffer, in theory. Fortunately, after some time, I reached the "action" part.
- Fourth, here's the cruel reality we couldn't accept. It's an on-rails shooter. LOL, an on-rails shooter, and they're claiming it to be an RPG. Yeah, because RPGs are supposed to be completely linear, with no choice but to follow a predeterminated path and doesn't allow you to stop and do other things. Oh, and it's really immersive to shoot spells while sitting on a couch. Really immersive.
- Fifth, there's two spells, a thunder based attack and a push and/or drag attack, plus a counter one to reject attacks. And both suck. I mean, their effects suck, and they aren't impressive at all. The only thing I liked is that you can change the direction of the thunder while it's moving, but that's it. Also, the way you throw the thunder spell. You have to do it like if you're pushing the air. Wouldn't it make more sense to make it a continuous thunder attack and not a bolt of thunder that you throw like a baseball?
- After that, it was time for more riding *sigh* Then we reached more "action" part. I switched to give my friend the chance to try this. Obviously I tried the tutorial, and it wasn't impressive the combat. So my friend tried it in normal battles, and it's booooooooring as hell. Only thing he did was continuously throwing thunder attacks, until he reached one enemy that required the push and/or drag attack, which was as insanely easy to beat as the previous battles. And then we reached ANOTHER RIDING PART! And we quit there.
So basically, a disaster. I thought they couldn't make it worse than they did in Fable 3. I was wrong. I should have expected this though, after playing the Dragon's Quest Wii game, but at least that game was more exciting than that, even right at the beginning, and it felt more of an RPG than this Fable game. This one was a pain to play in 1 hour. And seriously, an on-rail shooter? Seriously?
You know what we did next? Play Time Crisis 4 with the Ps2 guns. That was a good way to forget about how horrible this game was in just one hour. I have to wonder, how is it possible to do it worse and worse in each release?

The graphics in the pc version arent as good as the one on PSX which sucks for me cause im playing in on my pc. The only interesting ending movie was Reikos,when he sits on a throne and puts Kahns mask on.Makes you think who he really is.

aquapizza: Fun stuff but when nobody else plays it over here (those that do have their heads gearing towards GG and studies) or even has access (outside of us), it just sucks. That and it's slower paced so it turns off even people who play CSEX. Shame because I like the game a lot.
Tag 2 and VF5FS: Taking a break because alternating from 2D to 3D fucks me up and I need to find a way to get the transition to hurt me a lot less. Fighters of the year for sure though.
Tokyo Jungle: I dunno, honestly. I love the game but I just... stopped playing.

Awesome weapons, horror feeling, story (with one-three logic fails), only thing that pissed me off was camera set up, it was really hard sometimes to find yourself (Zero-G zones mostly).

After you finish the stories and fiddling with the Chaos, there's really nothing left to do since they gave me the space suits from the beginning.

Dead Island
I'm quite disappointed about this game. After some hours playing, it just felt that the only thing I was doing was travel just for completing quests. There's really no reward for random travelling, only the lame collectives. It starts getting really repetitive after a while. Also, it feels like everything is closed except for areas that have collectives or quest related things, which saddens me because that means exploration is quite limited for indoors. And really, I was expecting it more to be about survival, not about grabbing the closest weapon and smashing the nearest zombie that comes close to you.
Yeah, I'm going to stick to to Left4Dead if I want a game that forces me to run and survive, and not smash everything in my way.

Imagine this:
<you> ---- Concrete Barricade ---- Infected Ryder White
Step 1 - Go to the other side of the Concrete Barricade so that Ryder White won't be able to touch you. Step 2 - Use any melee weapon. Step 3 - Beat Ryder White's ass until he dies.
If for instance, Ryder White was able to go to the other side, Repeat Step 1.

@Snakebyte: I share your sentiments, pretty much. I'd probably slog through the game for the story, but there are just so many other, better games I could play instead. I might go back to it after I'm forced to tackle my backlog in the summer, but not before then. Too many great games coming out soon. :)

Yeah, even aside from the PS3 games that have piled up, of which there are many, I got a computer that can handle new games, as well as Wii/GC and DS emulation, after years of having one with a shit processor and no video card, so my backlog is beyond gargantuan. And there's still a handful of PS1/PS2 games I never got to.
I'm going to give Chrono Cross another go because it's been waiting for me to finish it for going on ten years, but after that, I think I'll try Morrowind. :D

Morrowind is an awesome game.You should definetly try it,though the last boss is difficult
Last game i stopped playing was Quake 2.The game is awesome,though its difficult now,since there are a lot of tanks,parasites and chargers around.Lately fliers and some Icarus too,but a shotgun solves the problem.
Stopped playing it because an entrance to the pyramid requires a pass code,which one of the marines has,and i cant find that guy anywhere.

Well, I guess you can say that I've stopped playing Persona 3.
Sure, it's a neat game, and there's some neat characters, but for some reason, I just play for a bit and I just go, "Eh..." and turn it off.
And then I immediately thrust Nocturne in the system and spend almost an hour just trying to fuse demons and then fuck around in the kalpa dungeons. :1

Persona 4 for the PS2
First of all, I didn't really stop playing it, more like I died and didn't have a memory card so i'd have to go through all the shit again. Second of all, this game gets an infinity/10 from me. This game is absolutely amazing. Great graphics, Memorable characters and designs, intense fights and so much more. I like the characters in Persona 4 more than the characters in Persona 2 and 3. They just seem so much funner and cooler, especially Teddie. This is the first game that's ever been able to just bring out my emotions. If somethings funny, i laugh. If somethings sad, I feel some sadness. I actually feel like I'm Yu (The main character). I got pretty sad when I lost to some not-even-a-boss enemy. I died while trying to save Nananko. I don't feel like going through the whole game again, so i give up there. I really wanna see all four endings though. I'm crossing my fingers and praying they put the game on PSN. Persona series seems like it's so unnoticed which makes me sad, cause I really enjoyed 2-4 plus P4 arena.
Again, I highly recommend this game to, well, anyone! Game gets an infinity/10 from me.

You're crazy for attempting this game without saves. You're really crazy.
Also, this game is out for the PSVita with two new social links (Adachi and Marie, who's a new girl and brings a whole dungeon with her), so sorry, but you'll only find the PSVita version in the PSN Store.

Hey, I was really only in it to find out the whole story tbh. Usually whenever I play a sequel to games, i don't really plan on playing their first born game. Games like Uncharted and Persona were a special case. When P4 arena came out, I was so intrigued with the P4 characters, I went outta my way to bug my friend for his PS2 and bought P4 online from Gamestop. When I got the game, I really only wanted to see the story, so I put it on beginner where I get 10 continues. I got as far as Heaven lol, so give me some credit! Plus, I couldn't really wait to get a memory card since I wanted to play the game so bad. And I didn't feel like waiting and finding someone with a memory card cause putting the game down was near impossible for me lol. That's how awesome it was. But I guess you have a right to call me crazy, cause I never expected the game to be as long as it is.
And I saw that Marie chick on the PSN screenshots for P4 golden. I was like "Who this?", but you explained. And damn, she has a whole dungeon? Wow. Soon as I get a PSvita, P4 golden will be the first game I buy.

That would be Xenogears.
I started to play Xenogears back in the day but I never got around to finishing it. (DAMN DISC ONE GOT BROKE) so I shelfed it. Then when I was on the PSN, I purchased it and started playing it again. Having beat Xenosaga 1, I'd heard this game was very simular. The combat system as usual is typical RPG fare. But the Mech fights are complete scripted crap. Your skills and fighting abilities have NO influence on your abilities in the Mech. So it all comes down to how much you upgrade and maintain them. One MAJOR gripe I have is. In most RPGs or even some Action games, once a big dramatic plot even happens and you return to base(or beat a boss) you normally get healed up for the next leg of your adventure, right? WELL NOT IN XENOGEARS. That's caused me to die more then once, assuming I was healed after certain events. All in all, from what I've played so far, it's a pretty great game. just kinda...dated.

Zone of the Enders HD
Getting an overall A ranking in the first game is starting to tick me off. Can't kill the jellyfish boss without him destroying over 10% of the buildings, never mind the actual rescue mission that requires you to return to the same zone and deal with drones all over the place killing people and blowing stuff up. I'd continue to the second game, but I prefer to do things in order, thus want the first game 100% finished first.
Funny how overly-simple the rest of the game is. It's just that first rescue mission in Town 2 and the second one with the remains after the first boss that really drag you down.

Why the fuck would they make you go FURTHER IN THE GAME and make the things at the BEGINNING unable to be completed.

You know, after the disaster that was DNF, I honestly didn't see why the game wouldn't suck outside of its hype. Gearbox don't know how to makes good games anymore. ;_; [/opinion]
Essentially, Markpachi, it looks and sounds like Alien (and the musical score is absolutely incredible), but the game just feels like ass it's not even funny. Many people complain about the lack of tension, which is in fault mostly because of one of the flaws fixed with DNF: you can carry a fuckton of overpowered weapons to kill whatever dumb AI coming at you just standing in front of your crosshair. On consoles, the game looks like shit but luckily I tried it out on PC, and it actually looks pretty fucking nice. Also, ironically barely any xenos.
Speaking of which, multiplayer. Marines still too OP, and player-controlled xenos are diverse in their abilities but so hard to control and so slow to move around with.
Game just feels generic. Game just feels like aaaaaassssss. A big bag of disappointment. Want to play a good modern Alien game? Play Rebellion's AvP, or Aliens: Infestation on DS. (Metroidvania with squad permadeaths, pretty intense)

Yep, the first level IMO is freaking great, not the best, but great. You really get into it, they build up decent tension and my first 1 on 1 with an alien ended with me sticking a shotgun down its throat, with me being covered in Acid and unable to regen probably. The next level though....the next level...YOU SHOOT NOTHING BUT BLOODY HUMANS! Not a mix of fights, not a few fights with xenos then humans. Freaking flappin humans and ends as such. I literally got up and went back for my money. Never has a game been so bad, I couldn't finish it even for fucking achievements! With so much better stuff coming out I decided to put the money on other games down the road, but fuck man this game literally killed me inside(as far as gaming goes.) Not even Duke did that because it was some what fun. I'll pick it up again and finish it in 2 months when its sitting at bargin bin price and not a second sooner or amount smaller. Fuck you Gearbox you fucking hacks, no one better believe them about shipping shit off and if that is true fuck them more, finish that shit in house you twits, we waited 6 years make it longer, but make it GOOD.

It's pretty nice and I loved what I played of it, plus Steam kinda always puts it on sale whenever possible if you wanna get it on the cheap with a more active playerbase.

How was the campaign's story? Was it interesting?
Yep, all Marines, but the Xeno encounters are really awkward. Its rare to see more then 3 or 4 at a time, when its obvious there should be more, near the end of the first level comes to mind for that specific problem. The A.I. is garbage, really, really garbage. Aliens will flat out run up to you, rather then say, clinging to walls or using vents to their advantage and flank. At best they will move under walkways, which is cool at first, but they just come up a second later right behind you and are really vulnerable during that and if you run past them the A.I. completely ignores you, even if it should still be chasing you a great distance.
Far as story goes it was pretty interesting. I want to see what happened on the planet, why other huamsn are there and tons of other stuff. the easter eggs alone I was telling myself would be worth it, but I couldn't do it. Just couldn't freaking do it. the second level was a long one too, but seeing as characters rarely talked or crackedwise, freaking SOMETHING to say along the way, it got repetitive really fast and the gunplay was far below anything i could of imagined. If you're a big alien fan though, do play it but wait for a big price drop. What its going for right now does not reflect in the effort and testing put into it.

If I may suggest a quite older game, but Alien Trilogy, a doomesq Alien game where you play as Ripley. I found it pretty fun as a kid and still own my PS1 copy. One of the worse/best parts of it was the fact Aliens or enemies in general didn't make foot steps so if you didn't know a level well you would get freaked the fuck out by a sneaking Xeno, which in a way isn't bad considering what its based off I guess. The death scenes you got depending on what killed you was bretty kool too.

Yeaaaah,thats it.Youll get 2 million dollars bonus if you bring her back alive.....and for some reason you have a talking hand... Fixed camera,like in older RE games,monsters respawn every time you leave the fuckin room,you fight the first boss in the first 5 minutes of the game,and he is difficult like hell,i spent all my freakin health potions on that fucker....ANd you dont even get to kill him,he teleports away. You hit and interact with the same button,so in the middle of the battle,if you are near a shelf,instead of hitting a enemy,he will stare at the fucking shelf. The english translation looks like its written by Celest,thus having no dots or commas what so ever,and not even spaces between words(!). soitlookslikethisyeaiknowshittyright

Lightning Claws on hands and feet for one set, rocket launcher feet on another set. With the lightning set: Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, and Kick be sure to interrupt the rapid kicks part of the combo by changing to your other weapon set. Everything in its path will take massive amounts of damage from the rocket cluster bombing. The combat is fun but it's still pretty simple.

Although I do get tired of the constant swear words and in your face sexuality, didn't we deride DmC for doing the same thing?
DmC's presentation of it was different, though: it was like a 13 year old trying to be edgy yet failing miserably. Bayonetta, on the other hand, did it in such a ridiculously over-the-top way, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, that it was glorious.
I never got the feeling that the combat was any more complex than wait for an attack - > dodge into witch time - > Combo and repeat. Also when some of the collectibles are weapons....
It does get more complex than that, especially when you start running into enemies that don't activate Witch Time. Fair point about the weapons, though. Never really cared for the way it made them missable.
Lightning Claws on hands and feet for one set, rocket launcher feet on another set. With the lightning set: Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, and Kick be sure to interrupt the rapid kicks part of the combo by changing to your other weapon set. Everything in its path will take massive amounts of damage from the rocket cluster bombing. The combat is fun but it's still pretty simple.
Well sure, if you want to abuse a glitch the combat is simple! >:[
I can't stand Bayonetta's aesthetic (especially the music)
Wait, what? The music is amazing! And there's so much variety, from the Fly Me To The Moon cover to Bayonetta's theme to the classic Sega arcade remixes to the epic orchestral tracks of the boss fights!

The only music tracks I really liked were Rodin's shop and the flashback Jeanne boss fight. Everything else was either really forgettable or really annoying to me. And for a P* title that is not good.

I will grant you the 'take you on a ride' exception. Regardless of what Bayonetta's music is, to me it's completely at odds with the tenseness and action that that kind of gameplay should generate. DMC3's music was wonderful, Bayonetta's is like I've stepped into some bizarre karaoke set. It's so outlandish that it jars and doesn't engage me. If you enjoy it, more power to you, but I can't.
Also, 'halos'... Come on, just, look at them... You can't convince me she isn't Sonic in drag.

Aside from my recent shitty experience with Morrowind, I haven't played any Bethesda games. I'd prefer to get into Elder Scrolls first, because I prefer that genre and setting, but assuming I enjoy Oblivion and/or Skyrim, I'll move on to Fallout after. I'll most likely pass on the earlier ones.
I did almost all my gaming on console for a very long time (Blizzard games and the odd FPS being the exception), and hadn't even really heard of Bethesda until Skyrim hit. I don't really know how that happened. I've got a halfway decent PC now though, so they're definitely in the backlog. :)
I honestly think Kingdoms of Amalur might have been the first WRPG I've played that wasn't an ARPG like Diablo. o.o

Not just in Fallout 3, New Vegas also has jazzy music. I myself think it adds to the ambiance nicely and walking through old-world ruins with happy jazz playing can have a surprisingly chilling effect.

I liked the ambient industrial music in the first two much better and the dynamic music of F3 (no radio option) to a lesser extent. Not a fan of the radio selection.
I will grant you the 'take you on a ride' exception. Regardless of what Bayonetta's music is, to me it's completely at odds with the tenseness and action that that kind of gameplay should generate.
But it's not supposed to be tense. Bayonetta's whole deal is that she is in complete control of the situation and the angels she's fighting are not a real threat to her, and a light and cheery pop song reinforces that.
But of course that changes during boss fights, and the music changes to match, for example:
Now you hear stuff from a heavenly orchestra or something, telling you that shit is about to go down.
Besides, rock music with silly lyrics doesn't really produce that tension either.
Also, 'halos'... Come on, just, look at them... You can't convince me she isn't Sonic in drag.
They're referencing Sonic, just like the rest of the game does for a whole number of Sega franchises. But I would hope you don't see Bayonetta as the guy from Space Harrier in drag!

But there's tons of involvement and visceral feelings!
Basically, the player is trying to live up to the Bayonetta of the cutscenes, and if one is good enough, they'll sync up and the music compliments the steamrolling nature of Bayonetta. But even so, I just don't find it a requirement for all game music to need to he tense all the time.

Heavy guitar isn't particularly tense, though. In fact the music in DMC works pretty similarly to Bayonetta, I think. It's just that one is hard rock and the other is breezy pop, with a few jazzy and orchestral tracks.

Bingo! Somebody gets it! Aside from what Snakebyte just said, the fact that Bayonetta is piss easy compared to every DMC (even DmC!) also takes away the feeling of tension and it just feels like some internet guy's really stupid mary sue fanfic. I mean yeah, Dante does ridiculous shit in cutscenes, but the games themselves are still reputably difficult and the atmosphere goes to enhance that. Nothing about Bayonetta's atmosphere is attractive to me in the slightest, and the gameplay is only marginally so. I "get" the game, it's trying to be tongue in cheek and over the top like DMC, but it just fails at it to me. It's like it has none of the charm whatsoever that DMC had and it's trying desperately to.

All game music, absolutely! All action game music, I disagree. The music should mirror the gameplay. Bayonetta's doesn't suit it at all. And cutscene-driven gameplay is just... *shakes head*

Bayonetta is piss easy compared to every DMC (even DmC!)
I don't think there would be many players that come from DmC being their first action game would do very well on Normal. Infact compared to Bayonetta, DmC requires a lot less thinking and with the large window for "parrying" attacks leaves even the most lousiest of player crying for something "more" difficult. While Bayonetta is certainly no harder or as easy depding on the level in DMC or as punishing as past Ninja Gaiden titles at their hardest, the game isn't easy. DmC even at its hardest still has very obvious attack patterns with huge windows to counteract built in, without the axe Vergil on Hell and Hell can be beat by parrying back his summoned sword and attacking with rebellion and later simply normal dodge rolling out of the way and stingering. Then they're people who get use to witch time and suddenly thats taken away at one point, whoo boy shit gets interesting there. Don't bring anything about attachments or other weapons in Bayonetta, the axe alone in DmC, even with the patch, is simply overpowered without any upgrades and takes away from every other weapon, where in Bayonetta a lot still relies on the user and the weapon choices.

OK then, I'm gonna try and get back on topic since this doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I stopped played Metroid: Zero Mission. Well, I mean, I've beaten it a fuckton of times, but I specifically stopped trying to do a 7% run because fuck that shit, even on easy. I can do 15% runs on normal and hard, no problem. But 7% is just, no. Fuck you Mecha Ridley, stop shooting lasers and missiles and swiping your arm all at same time which makes it literally impossible to avoid being hit. >:[

No, 'This is why I can't enjoy a game' is different from 'This is why this game is objectively bad'. I said I dislike its aesthetic, and Jmorph kept trying to push me into thinking it was good. I never said it was a bad game, it's just not for me. I tried playing the demo and couldn't even finish it because of how jarring and strange the music was to me. Haven't you ever had something like that happen to you, where the look or feel of something completely stopped you from being able to like it?
I don't think Bayonetta sucks, from what I've heard it's sub-par but not awful, it's just not a game I can get into at all. I don't think having a discussion about that with Jmorph is a huge argument? I dunno. Maybe it is? I like talking about games with people D:
It's a good thing that Bayonetta does not rap or Snakebyte would have called you guys idiots for liking the game. :P
Rap's fine on it's own! The knuckles rap is just so out of place and just plain bad and does not nothing but repeat game terms over and over again in this grating faux-cool voice while oozing what marketers thought urban was in the late 90s and agh. I turned my sound off when playing those parts.

I'd just like to add that I didn't apply my own label to Bayonetta, it was Kamiya himself that called it the successor to DMC, which is a hell of a standard to try and live up to. If he hadn't done that AND had the game loaded with a million callbacks and references to far superior games, I think I would have enjoyed it enough to at least play to the end. Unfortunately I'll never accept Bayonetta as anything more than a poor man's Devil May Cry. A good game in its own right, but when it goes out of its way to remind me that I could be playing something far better....why bother?
Last game I got done playing was Million Knights Vermilion. Now this is one of the clumsiest, most awkward fighters I've ever played. None of the characters are any fun to use and all of the movesets are bland and lifeless. Why did I download this?

I think Fallout 3 was more of a retro compilation with a few jazzy tunes in it. Not necessarily JAZZ per se, but a lot of more relaxed tunes that were certainly inspired by jazz. I loved "I want to set the World on Fire" by The Ink Spots. That was fucking awesome hearing in the Wasteland as you were using a flamethrower on Broken Steel initiates. Or saw peoples heads explode while using the Vats System.

After the game I was playing glitched up on me, I decided to go back and try Bayonetta again. It didn't take me long to re adjust to it, but I was quickly reminded why I stopped playing in the first place. Boring combat, frustrating camera, tons of gimmicks to mask PG's inability to make an interesting combat system, AWFUL music and an overall unsatisfying experience. I think I'm done with Platinum Games for good, they've only made two games that I like and all their stuff has the exact same problems. : /

I played a lot of games recently,i have no social life though
-Onimusha 3 Demon Siege- Motherfuckin Jean Reno with a gun and a Energy whip together with that guy from the house of the flying daggers take on Oda Nobunaga and his army of demons.What more can you ask for?Katy Perry?Fuck Katy Perry Anyway,the gameplay is like older RE just with swords and energy whips(AND JEAN RENO),the first boss made me eat 3 health herbs,and the game itself is pretty difficult,with the enemies doing a shit ton of damage,and usually ganging up on you.Also you get a cute little fairy to follow you,and i loved the bloody surroundings when you get warped to modern age France.
-Shinobido- This is a spiritual succesor of the awesome game Tenchu. This is no game in which you can just go and kill everyone by tapping square,you need to sneak,look for openings,distract enemies,throw money around,collect mushrooms and geckos,kill bears,get turned into a bear,realise that the guy who has been helping you all this time is actually a fuckin talking cat and unite Japan,then go kill a fuckin Necromancer who stole your memories and killed your clan. 10 out of 10.
-Rogue ops- Lets take Lara Croft and turn her into a BLONDE.And copy Tomb Raiders gameplay almost completely.Yea,lets do that
-Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2- i played a lot of DW games,and Gundam 2 is the only one that made me sweat on easy difficulty.Some missions are waaaaaaaay too difficult. You have a campaign mode(OR WHATS IT CALLED) which follows the story of the manga,and the Mission mode,which is a What-If universe in which all of the Gundams characters lived in the same Timeline,which leads to Kira and Jerid being enemies etc. Plus,Elpeo Puru is probably the most kawaii thing i ever seen
-Shadow of the Collossus- Basically playing a hide and seek game with large dark blooded creatures. And when you finnaly find one,you have to climb him and cut him. Rinse and repeat.

Tekken Revolution
As a Tekken Player since the first game and often being an active TTT2 player i had to try out the new free2play Tekken.
The good stuff...slightly better graphics..nice menu song, great netcode.
But the bad stuff overweights that easily..at least for now. The levelsystem makes the game unfair, the most people are spamming the same moves..its easy to defeat them but there is no fun at that. The music is the worst one ever in a Tekken game. The game also has no "soul" and is probably more something for people which are not playing fighting games / Tekken often and are either mashing the buttons or as mentioned try to win through the few same spammed moves.
Let's see how this game and its community will evolve maybe..but for now i can't recommend this to good fighting game / Tekken players yet.

Lets see, what do we need to do make Shao Kahn unbeatable? Hmm... Super armor? Check. Double normal health? Check. Ridiculous damage? Check. A moveset that can punish you from anywhere on the screen for doing anything? Check. That goddamn hammer throw move with stun that he can repeat without you being able to do anything? CHECK.

Just capped off storymode. Whoever designed Shao Kahn as a final boss for this game needs their ass whooped. Everything else was extremely enjoyable, but fucking...super bullshit boss crap.
Lets see, what do we need to do make Shao Kahn unbeatable? Hmm... Super armor? Check. Double normal health? Check. Ridiculous damage? Check. A moveset that can punish you from anywhere on the screen for doing anything? Check. That goddamn hammer throw move with stun that he can repeat without you being able to do anything? CHECK.
The game is amazing, Shao Kahn is a douche. That's my thoughts. :2thumbsup:
He is really easy to beat with every character with a bit training.

How to beat Shao Kahn with Raiden
Step 1: Go to the edge of the screen away from Kahn
Step 2: See if he tries to throw his hammer
Step 3a: If he does not, throw a lightning bolt or EX Lighting Bolt and crouch block as soon as you can after in case he decides to throw a javelin at you in response. Sometimes you might even duck under it without worrying about chip!
Step 3b: If he throws the hammer jump over it and do the jump kick-flying thunder god combo.
Step 4: Repeat
Optional Step: Kombo Shao Kahn's face in when he taunts
This strategy makes victory more likely to achieve.

Mega Man 8
The weapons aren't very useful or unique, the series continues to be repetitive and formulaic (imagine what Mega Man 9001 would be like), and it has some really hard levels just so it will last longer. Play the X, Zero, and ZX games instead (or the simpler MM9 and 10.)

Fighting for One Piece This game is a one piece of shit.The game even has infinites,some of them achieved just by spamming one button over and over.
Blood + Soukyoku battle Rinbukyoku Forgive me if i wrote the title wrong.I think it would confuse anyone...thats not japanese Anyway,this game is a really nice fusion of a Hack and Slasher,quick time events and a semi visual novel Its completely on Japanese though,so i dont have any idea do the choices you make affect anything, The beggining made me laugh,when the guy falls out of the window,you have a quick time event,and if you succeed,instead of catching him,you just step back so he wont fall on your head.
Super Dragon Ball Z THIS GAME. IS AWESOME. Now i know from where did the Z2 characters get thos ZWANG backgrounds and such,and where did goku get the explosive shoryuken attack from. This game is not like Budokai Tenkaichi in which you just fly around,mash buttons,charge,then press one button to destroy the enemy with the ultra super attack. This game does not have that crap,instead the gameplay is more meele based,it has combos,and hypers must be done by pressing in different buttons,like FBDFDF a+b etc. The only thing i find weird is that Cell uses a Muai Thai stance
Soul Eater Battle Resonance The game is actually pretty nice,although the movements of characters look kinda weird and wonky,sometimess too slow,hitboxes sometimes are weird. Combos are easy to perform,the Soul Resonance thing sometimes slows things down. The 3 bar hypers can be as well called insta kills,since they take out 90% of health. Mifune for the win
All games played on PS2 btw. Some guy brought these japanese games to me,Blood+,Fighting for One Piece,Soul Eater battle Resonance are released in Japan only

I never really tried to play this game mainly because I was too pre-occupied playing SvC: Chaos or Tekken 6. I was fucking up my friend's playthrough when I noticed that it looked like fun. I gave it a shot, and I was fucking beast, no lies.

Cat Girl Alliance I bought this thinking its a visual novel like katawa shoujo,turns out its a fuckin eroge,with sex every 13-14 seconds,and with weird conversations,like cat butts,magical lands of Narnia between the girls legs and the almighty pussy power. The only thing good in the game is its weird characters and the weird humour it has 5/10 i guess
Twisted Metal 3 I loved TM2,and then a friend told me i must play TM3,cause it has better gameplay and realistic car physics. 1st level of the game im standing on a wall,then doing front flips with a fucking tank. Realistic car physics no,realistic tank physics hell no.The gameplay is more or less the same as every TM. 7/10
Romance of the 3 kingdoms X It was fun the first 20 minutes or so,but doing the same tasks over and over and my people effing rebelling against me and my effing empire being attacked by Locusts every season i gave up on ever being a Chinese warlord of the 3rd century 4/10

Beatmania 3rd Mix:
So I was at the arcade today and I got depressed seeing that NOBODY was playing kof98. I took it on myself to play some other games I usually don't play. Decided to play some Beatmania. From all the genres of music I couldn't help but I choose J-pop.
Moments later the machine spouting the most confusing 90's music I ever heard. Regardless I played to me hearts content, feeling awesome at all the "Good" and "Great" notifications.
After finishing, the game promptly told me I failed and I should insert another coin. I left the arcade with the feeling that I have been lied to. Fucking Konami.

HIRE ME GAMEINFORMER
serious sam first and second encounter: okay these games are really cool. i love the enemy designs and the protagonist isn’t an annoying shitbag like duke or lo wang. and i love the ‘fans’ easter egg in first encounter so much. additionally i found out a way to mod the sounds! yea. hit me up if y’all wanna co-op (bob goes first though. unless you can have more than one?)
also why didn’t anyone tell me that the gnaars are basically strawbelly jam?
shadow warrior classic or whatever the hell: i think i found the biggest problem with 3drealms. they have really imaginative map designs, the interactivity with the map props like the training dummy and trash can and whatnot are really neat…but all of that kind of gets dampened when your main character is singing ‘row row row your boat, gentree (see cuz he’s asian!) down the stream! hohoh i think my thingy’s hanging out!’ when he’s riding the boat. it’s not a matter of ‘it’s totally offensive’, it’s just a matter of it feels like i’m playing as a fucking high schooler’s painfully unfunny racist bathroom stall doodle that suddenly became a fps protagonist. but as a game itself? it’s coo’

Another Code: Two Memories I decided to play the European version of Trace Memory because I heard that it had a better translation than the NA version. I didn't remember much of the first game but I knew that I fucking hated it, but I was willing to give it another chance. So as I'm playing it, I realize that the game is super gimmicky in a really bad way and the dialogue is still really awful. But the point where I gave up was in the graveyard where you push over the huge tombstone and then a ghost kid appears. My memories of the game came flooding back and I blurted out loud "FUUUUUUUCK THIS GAME".
So yeah, not touching that shit again.

IMO the DS game wasn't bad, but the Wii game was horrible. It felt stupidly long because of the constant walking, and the story wasn't interesting at all. In fact, I wondered why it was needed a sequel for that game, it made no sense. It felt like they forced a sequel out of it.

Ugh, I need a break. I have a hard time getting used to the controls. I tend to accidentaly run at the worst moment, or completely miss a platform in the most stupid way possible. It's a nice platformer, but beating a boss and dying before reaching the save point was not good for my sanity.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
I finally bought a new DOA for the first time since DOA Ultimate on the original X-Box. Heistated to buy it last year since i thought there would be an enhanced edition later and well..i was right like so often.
The game is not really bad but.. ..the story mode has only a few fun cutscenes and has the most boring story i have ever seen in a fighting game since i play them..why is this thing hours long?
The additional doa5U characters feel for the most part like clones of other characters with Jacky from Virtua Fighter being the most unique one it seems.
As mentioned, the last DOA i played before was DOA Ultimate around a decade ago and what can i say..DOA5U felt like it is the same game and the characters maybe learned more tricks but the differences are tiny compared with the many changes from game to game i am used to in the Tekken series. This is like Nina from Tekken 6 or TTT2 would play like herself in Tekken 5.
Maybe the whole button layout with its one kick, one punch + grab/guard layout is also just too simple for me and long combos are too easy to pull off. The game felt like a big button masher to me with more focus on the pretty girls than ever.
Online battles were smooth and found easily but the spamming part is even a lot worse than what i am used to the from Tekken, SF and BlazBlue online communities. I also saw just Kasumi's, Ayanes, Jan Lee's.
Going to sell it tomorrow again.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2
It's been months since I last played on the PS3. Sure, I get to play on the arcade, but it gets boring after a while since I just fight the same dudes over and over. I am also fuckin' tired of hearing "Dorya! Dorya! Dorya! Dorya!", I mean really. Try out a fucking different launcher for once.
I tried out Jack-6 + P. Jack tag team, i'm shocked at how much damage they can put out in a single decent combo. It even makes the damage output greater when the stage has walls.
Also, his QCB+2/QCF+1 grab is an excellent combo starter. Once the opponent tries to do an ukemi, quickly input b+4-4 to put the enemy in a bound state. It's still pretty good if the opponent doesn't do an ukemi since they'll just keep on getting stomped on until they roll, and even then they'll be damaged since they'll be combo'd.
I also laughed like a maniac when I did P. Jack's special grab with Jack.
Oh yeah, one last thing. Does P. Jack and Jack have a GREAT combo?

Not a bad game in the least. Not nearly as hard as people made it out to be, so long as you're careful. Problem is, once you do slip up, and you have to start the entire dungeon all over again...? Yeah, I'm too old for that shit now (read: lack the time or patience for such things).

Check some videos in Youtube so you get an idea of what's ahead and/or also check walkthroughs before exploring. It will most likely make you be more prepared about how to deal with things. Then it's a matter of being careful and never take risks, and it should help a little in the game. Only do that if you really can't afford the time, otherwise you're taking some fun in the game.
Brave Default 3DS
After the terrible way to start the game, aka a way too long introduction to even introduce characters that you don't have in the party, one hour later I got sick of it, feeling as it was not fun to play it, as if, the story wasn't going anywhere interesting and the battle system didn't seem interesting at all. And I like RPGs. If somebody has the game and has played further ahead, can they tell me if it gets interesting or does it stay the same, uninteresting at all?

Chrono Cross
I loved Chrono Trigger but put off this game because I heard bad things about it. However, my kid bro (he's 11) beat Trigger on the DS, and got the secret ending where Magus fights Schala and he was all "I have to know what happens next!" So using my leftover HK dollars from buying JJBA:ASB and all of its DLC, I bought Chrono Cross from the PSN store, and gave it a run.
I had to turn it off half an hour in. This feels nothing like a sequel to Chrono Trigger. It feels like generic anime bullshit on top of a weird-ass combat system. All the charm Chrono Trigger offered in its opening minutes isn't here at all, and I have no connection to any of the characters. I just refuse to believe this tripe is part of the Chrono mythos. The only good thing in this game is the soundtrack, but it's nothing special.
Oh yeah and my kid bro feels disappointed as well, but he's forcing himself to play through in hopes that he gets some sort of resolution.

Yeah, it's quite depressing when you find out what happened to Crono and the gang. Even Schala's fate was kinda messed up. The problem with CC's characters is that because there are so many of them, it's hard to really become attached to anyone in particular. Except for Kid, probably, but they kinda screw her over too lol. Still, it was a fun ride back in the day (beat it like 7 times, taking different paths), and the OST is among the best in any RPG to date. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GFGSzlNZBc) one in particlar almost had me tear up the second time it played.

It's fucking sexy and fun and I love it. It's also somewhat edgy but in a way that works. You know how XIII tries to take itself too seriously up until XIII-3? Well, it works well for Reishiki because of the war background, focusing on the consequences rather than the oh-so terrible threats of imminent danger.

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven (PS2) - (Finished with "time travel" mission)
The biggest flaws are in controls, The vert axis is forced inverted! Also, direct combat is clunky... not to mention your enemy always seems to have the "perfect timing" on attacking first. AND since you were kicked to the start of the level if you died, I can say this is nowhere near as forgiving as recent stealth titles.... Yet, stealth killing feels very rewarding, so I ended up beating it with every playable.

Neverwinter Nights 2
Ah,wow.Where do I start This game is fuckin bad. Neverwinter nights 1 was an amazing game that I really liked,so i decided to get 2. When i got to the character creation screen i was like WHOA,look at all the new Races and Classes. And then I started the game. Right off the bat you will fight the strongest enemy in the game,the camera. The AI of your friends is incredibly dumb and they either rush on ahead and get themselves killed or stay behind and decide to just watch you fight while they scratch their balls and talk about motherfuckin Talos or god knows what. This game does not allow you to destroy or kill neutral NPCs . WHICH IS CRAP. Its like the creators were afraid we might accidentally kill the main quest giver or something and then decided to come and kiss our damn forehead with a NO KILLING rule. fuck that.Seriously. Also the game bugged out right in the beggining and decided to not give me ANY starting items and made me go fist against blade. Also,about the villagers saying "Help me I'm hurt" and stuff,healing them with your magic and potion will not do anything. Even if you fully healed them with those they will still cry like babies who dropped their candy on the floor.(I wanted to make a Drowning Pool reference here but i couldn't think of anything) You have to run back to some priest and ask him for a special healing item that heals them but has no effect if you use it on yourself :C

Resident Evil 2(PSX, Dualshock ver.) To be honest, the game is slower than Silent Hill and it is more difficult. But I question why I have given up so easily on this game. While my current amount of handgun ammo is around 30-ish, I'll have to adjust and continue to conserve when necessary. The back-tracking isn't rough and it has some nice scares. The campy dialogue and voice acting just adds on more charm.
Obtaining A-rank will be a rough challenge, however.

I've already put out the fire in the helicopter and got King's Plug so far.
Other than having the C.Hand gun and two shotguns (I got the first one from the gun shop owner... but not without some nicks and bites from the zombies. Second one came from the STARS Room locker.), nothing else. I think I got a little too gunhappy in a couple of hallways.
I try to run from the zombies in open spaces or "shoot until they fall down.and run." when I can. But this is only the start of the game.

You'll eventually come across enough ammo to kill nearly everything as long as you use it with common sense. The biggest thing to keep in mind in terms of combat is to fight your battles instead of theirs. Play keep away with zombies, keep dogs in a single file line, use the lickers only being able to notice you when you're close to your advantage, don't even bother with crows etc.
The A rank is really easy to get once you know the game's layout. Remember to save only once (My save point of choice is before the boss you fight before leaving the station), do not use First Aid Sprays (They dock points for some reason but herbs are ok), and clear the game in under 2 and a half hours. Brisk-running the first 3 resident evils was a hobby of mine. I think my best Resident Evil 2 performance was 1 hour and 50ish minutes, 0 saves, 0 Aid Sprays, and no bonus weapons used.

Been a hell of a day. I got killed at least twice and then everything runs smoothly after that. I've been neglecting the shotgun a bit too much. As a result, I have a lot more handgun ammo. But I'm still sticking to the "shoot until zombie is down and run.". The zombie dogs/Cerberuses surprised a couple of times today, but they aren't as difficult from a distance.
Otherwise, I've become enthralled into the storyline and kept playing for longer than I did yesterday. No longer am I thinking of Resident Evil 2 as a "dud" in my Playstation library. Anyways, I'm finished with the police station for now.
Later, I'm going to keep attempting to get another difficult cheat in Goldeneye 64. (Caverns level on 00 Agent, in under 9:30.).

South Park: The Stick of Truth
I don't usually do this but when a game forces me to go back 20+ hours after grinding out fights and other things because they had some stupid trigger that breaks multiple quest it doesn't deserve to be finished. This long after release and they didn't fix that on top of other game breaking bugs? To hell with this game don't buy it. Fucking Obsidian.

Playstation All Stars Battle Royale
The novelty of playing a Smash Bros-like game with Heihachi, Raiden and Kat from Gravity Rush wore off fast and I honestly could not find myself really enjoying this game at all. At best I felt it wasn't really my thing and at worst I felt like Sony and Superbot shat in my hands with this thing. Online half the time I kept running into Kratoses that outranked me and got up to Level 3s in no time leaving me and everyone else utterly helpless
Pretty much fell in love with Kat though, she's LOVELY. Abe should have been in instead of Isaac though.

Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play ----------------------------------------------------- The mortal kombat's are the most half-assed in emulation as load times are casually dispersed and there's strange sound inaccuracies like the block sound playing instead of the fall sound. However the games including the mortal kombats are still satisfyingly playable and the code to switch the games to their original aspect ratio is a great touch.

Dark Souls
Dat rape from those skeletons were a trip for me.....
I kept the game but its a love hate thing. Just totally unfair enemy difficulty. Ive played a lot of tough tough games but this one is just foul. Im a sucker for dark mid evil games with Giant dragons and demons in it (like the Kings field series on PS1-PS2 etc) so i love the whole entire atmosphere of the game and the music and its great. The games challenge of not letting you re load entirely what you used and lost in battle at the last save pisses me off and the advantages certain weak looking enemies have (like the skeletons) are ridiculous.
For those that never played the game ill explain one situation: I got a bunch of items. saved my game just before i went to take on the boss beast. Normal tactic all of us RPG regs use. I use my items on em. He kicks my ass, i die. "I say ok let me re load and try again from my save point with my goodies ;D". NOPE o_O. I was left with the speckles of items i had left. The game doesnt let you save traditionally like that. You have to really watch what you use and run from most small battles at times because if you die then thats it. Plus theres a lot times that will happen because the enemies are crazy strong. Its worse when you ventured hella far out. So Its like one of those old one hit kill NES game back in the day if you know what i mean haha
I love it and hate that shit smh haha....

Yeah i played that when it first came out. A friend of mine had it. I didnt have a PS3 at the time but i was a huge fan of Kings field series so it sucked me in immediately from the atmosphere.

At first I was like "How THE FUCK is one supposed to win at this game?" ... but I never let that baby go until I made it my bitch. The secret to success when playing that game was being mentally prepared to fail every step of the way, and just learn from my mistakes. It was kind of an experiment for me, to detach myself from the frustration of losing.
I think that's what I'll do with this one.

LOL yeah exactly man same here. That's why i didn't get rid of those two games yet. I try to put in my mind after a while that its a hard ass game anyway so it doesn't annoy me as much so can concentrate better progressing. i used to always end DR1 game a lot with a lot of survivors. I had like 21 survivors er so before at one time but that meant nothing because i kept screwing up on all the cases to be open and kept getting the poor usual incomplete story ending. last time i stopped playing was at Case 7-1. I got to master saving people but still sucked at getting to all cases so i started taking my time doing case missions right. Its tough saving survivors AND getting to certain missions in time AND beating the Psychos you have to deal with to progress along the real story haha.
Dark souls and that game are one in the same with that kind of challenge where you have to really be careful how you make decisions playing the game. Only thing is Dark Souls gets an evil +1 :devil: For not letting you save what you have used in items even after the save point.
I found myself restarting the game a good 4 times because of that in the beginning.

Yes all those games in that order. And yeah i think Demon souls is still a PS3 exclusive The games graphics are great. About as cool as Skyrims i guess and bio shock how the shine of the textures are at times. The Monsters are huge. mini bosses to super bosses. Titanic bosses. haha im still stuck in this area with this MEGA huge Crow above just sittin there studying me. game is weird man. The enemies are smart as fuck too so dont think youre gonna out run em all the time down and around a corner somewhere and the enemy dont follow you. Some enemies at random dont turn back no matter how big they are and they will stalk you down into the next cave if they feel like it lol Thats another annoying challenge about it. I got violated crazy times like that in those caves
game is cool man. Demon souls was cool but the other ones are the step up in graphics from that. Youll like the graphics

Well imo.
Good atmosphere, generally good (if rather simple) combat, loads of interesting backstory that is not showed in your face at all, very open ended, interesting online component and generally really great character and environment design. The games are not exactly the most polished titles, but the actual substance of the game makes up for that.

Ranging Blades
At first I liked the fact that this game "embraced" clichés, you got the knight, you got the bulky warrior, etc..., two hours latter into the game, you just mash the attack button, even the bosses require nothing more then to simply mash the attack button and ocasionaly dodge their attacks

Demon Gaze
Had Etrian Odyssey expectations, and I was a fool for having them for this game. Allow me to simplify the game for you
Non Boss Gameplay: - Go to Dungeon. - Set Chronos for protection for floor damage. - Find all circles and make them yours. - Fight an easy boss after half the circles have been taken. - Once all circles have been taken, beat the boss.
Boss Gameplay: - Enter with alternate order if boss alters it, so it is corrected with Paladin in front. - Enter with Force Hit, Dodge. - Make sure to set a Force Guard, aka protection from opponent cancelling your buffs. - Set Neptune's insane regeneration skill. - Set Divine Armor to all party member. - Kill all the minions the boss spam, until it no longer summons them. - Kill the boss (this may take longer if the boss regenerates health, which the 4-10 demon bosses).
Repeat this goddman pattern ten times, get sick of it after the 4th one. Seriously, the only thing you can possibly enjoy is the unique events every time you beat a demon boss. The rest of the game is repetitive as hell. Dungeons are too similar, with minor changes. Bosses use similar patterns, with minor changes. Now it's time for final boss, but I'm so little motivated right now that I will probably attempt it next week.

Dragon Age 2
The game has good graphics and I like the Single Player Party RPG Gameplay, the reason I stop playing is because there's no GAME+ mode which you go back to the beginning with your current character level. Instead it's just stop at Hawke's Estate. Although I like the last battle against the Night Commander. They should have made a Game+ Mode.

I've been trying to finish this game for 6 months, but I just can't do it. To its credit, the graphics, shooting mechanics and sound design are amazing.

to me Dragon Age 2 never happened, I refuse to accept its existence as a successor of DA: Origins - Awakening graphic, story, depth, gameplay, world size, DA2 was horrible compared to Origins, I couldn't stand the idea going to the deep roads for the second time in DA2, boring like hell.
when DA: Origins felt like finely crafted RPG with meticulous storylines that feels like japanese rpg quality, DA2 felt like a bootlegged offline version of some generic free to play online RPG, but can only be played offline.

no no I didn't mock your choice of game, I played DA2 too in high hope since it was the successor of DA, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it, after I got a mansion, and sorta clear my family name, I quit, repetitiveness was too much to ignore in my case.
if you never played Origins before you played DA2, I can understand that you like how the storytelling and multiple options you can choose from, but that style was already in DA Origins. DA2 was more toward more fluent combat and zoom in and out effect, and animations. imo.
Comparing the two games:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
DA origins, has multiple races and genders option you can start the game with, each with different dedicated storylines, you can answer/ acts differently on events that would bring different relation or outcome of the situation (same with DA2) although in Origins your character doesn't have voice actor since there are plenty of characters you can play with probably recording voice actor for each race+ gender storyline would be a huge voice library. Origins has a wide map various cities to explore while DA2 you're stuck in somekind of slum island. in Origins, you can dress each of your team mate differently, change their armor, weapon, etc. in DA2 you can only dress your main character. in Origins you can sculpt your character much better than in DA2. DA2 has more seamless team combo than DA origins, DA2 has more/ farther angle for the camera than Origins. But everything else, memorable characters and all, I prefer Origins. and also being in the role of Grey Warden gave me more dutifulness .. to finish the game and kill the Dragon, it is like being a crow in Game of Thrones.

I agree with you, there's no really an adventure in DA2. It only focuses to the City of Kirkwall which is also one of the things that made me disappointed.

yea, the reason da2 was so limited in that regard is because it had a singular narrative device, the inquisition of varric on the champion of kirkwall (your pc) nothing more, nothing less
everything that happened in game was literally a story being told, which is cool, if limiting, and because of that (among other things) it really seemed more like a gaiden game than anything because of it, but it seems da: inquisition will remedy that

Dynasty Warriors 2 Gundam I have 0 knowledge of the series I just like the game So last time I played as Master Asia and became a cyber newtype and was Domons sensei This time I played as Loran Cehack who seems to be a member of the moon moon race.
Loran likes to talk gibberish that I don't understand at all (As long as I am in the cockpit the white devil is my angel) and loves to yell about peace while killing people,also hates his commander who has some kind of Black History or prophecy or whatever is it called. Anyway his commander Ghingham is an asshole of sorts and wants to fuck up everyone and follows some crazy warriors code that seems pretty suicidal to me,and also likes to call Loran Laura,which I didnt get at all until I unlocked his alternate costume...a dress. The leader of the moonrace is also a weird looking chick that likes to make Loran crossdress and go by the name of Laura Rolla. Also,the finale of his storymode was really awesome since I had to fight Domon and Master Asia to get to Ghingham who,after losing his Turn X Gundam,gets a motherfuckin Sengoku looking Gundam with a tri spear oh my god it was so awesome how do I unlock it Also I cut Domons gundam in half and told him to go fuck himself....not literally,but in Lorans special little way. Also I pilot a fucking robot with butterfly wings. And beams,and laser swords,a large ass tower shield and a spiked ball on chains. Also for some reason I am being incredibly hated by the 2 Puru sisters,and am also a BFF with Yazan Gable,a guy who doesn't know how to say thanks and just keeps screamin I DONT NEED YO HELP

Your lack of knowledge about the intricacies of Gundam canon is absolutely infuriating! >:[
Spoiler: Jmorphman drops some Gundam knowledge(click to see content)
Loran yeah, it's weird to have him say that stuff in a Dynasty Warriors game. I assume they're just taking straight quotes from the show, where it actually made sense; there weren't a lot of battles in the series he came from and most of them ended in draws or at least without casualties. I can't really remember a time he intentionally killed anyone, even. Still, better than Kira from Gundam SEED, who does shout about pacifism while blowing up hundreds of mobile suits at a time.
Gym isn't Loran's commander, he's also from the moon but he's the head of his own faction, and is the final boss of the show.
Laura Rolla was an elaborate disguise for Loran that was used because reasons, and also because the director of the show wanted a female protagonist and the higher-ups said no (so he made Loran dress up as a girl a lot, and I know how crazy that sounds).
Those butterfly wings are nanomachines, and also they destroyed the world before.

Dust: An Elysian Tale
One of the games I grabbed from the Summer Sales. The gameplay is fun, but... well, it's just too easy, honestly. The most disappointing thing so far in the game is the parry/reflect option. It's waaaaaaay too easy to time. I mean, you're supposed to be holding the left click or equivalent when an enemy attacks, and the frames in which that parry works last too long. Parrying is supposed to be something involving timing, not holding the button to be sure you don't take damage. Another cheap gameplay mechanic is the Dust Tornado (aerial version mostly), which literally makes fights consist on just flying around the stage, as the cooldown for that attack is too short and you're way too fast for enemies to hit you, which ends up in you being untouched. Of course I avoid doing that, but even without that move the enemies are just too easy to fight, even in the hardest difficulty.
Include the fact that so far the bosses have been a total disappointment, and I got bored of this game. Since I have plenty more games to play from Summer Sales, I will skip this one for the moment and try others.

While it seems like that would have been the case, the horrible framerate just kills it for me. I'm not a framerate snob by any means, and would be perfectly fine with a solid 30FPS even with a few dips here and there. The problem is, however, that this thing feels like it's constantly in the teens. Couple that with parts of the levels that are often slow to load (missing floors, for instance) and you have a game that is pretty much unplayable.
I don't think I've ever seen a game run this bad on a console before. I feel sorry for anyone that has actually spent money on this thing. Maybe I'll grab the PC version at some point.

Naughty Bear
Seemed like an entertaining game at first: being mean and evil to other teddy bears by killing them or driving them insane. Fun concept. Various weapons and envoirnment kills were fun, imaginative and down right funny . . . for the first few minutes. However, clunky controls, repetitive gameplay and complete snoozefest story made this game fall face first into the ground and spray cotton stuffing blood all over the place. Not wanting to play this again.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment [PSVita]
Ugh, this game loves to test the limits of your patience. I want to know the smart guy who thought that making normal and burst attacks do crap damage was okay. Because of that, the only way to kill an enemy without spending like 15 minutes for each one is to spam skills, and unfortunately you have 300 SP and one skill costs 100 SP, and there's only a few useful ways to recharge it fast since recharge speed is awful (and for what I've checked, the only way to increase the max SP is with skills, and that increase is temporal too). Even the .hack games did a better job in that regard ffs. And I question the sanity on whoever made it possible to be able to counter you from 20 meters of distance for using a potion with your partner with a short range attack (and it's not the only retarded hit range issue I've seen unfortunately).
Yeah, I need a break here.

Dangan Ronpa 2: Goodbye Despair [PSVita] in the hardest difficulty.
Welp there goes my run for the hardest difficulty. I could still deal with no pointer in the Gambit's Hangman since you could still use the touch screen. But whoever designed this difficulty thought it was smart that at the last part of the PTA, when you have to select the correct combination of words, YOU CAN'T SEE THE DAMN WORDS AT ALL! So yeah, you have to select at random, which means you have a 1/24 chance of getting the correct combination. If you didn't have a short time limit and limited life (as you lose life if you get it wrong and have to repeat the previous part of the PTA as some shield regenerate, which btw are also invisible), and if the order of the letters didn't change in each try, then sure, it would be possible. But since that doesn't happen, and I find it kind of bullshit that you end up going by mere luck just to pass a single moment, there goes my run.

Dead Island: Riptide Special Edition.
I'm fairly new to first person shooters, I was recommended this game by the guy at GameStop, who also convinced me not to buy Killer Is Dead brand new for 10 dollars, i was trying to fill my love for Suda 51 while trying something new at the same time, last time i listen to someone else. Dead island's not terrible, but the environment is somewhat boring to me, the games story doesn't hook me at all, and the way you drive/turn and run really annoy the fuck out of me sometimes. I may continue it later, but i got bored of it rather quick, at first I blamed it on my lack of experience in first person shooters, now I've decided that this game just isn't that great.

CoD World At War
Finished campaign mode. So I'm guessing that this was before CoD turned to shit because it was actually honest fun :) Short, albiet, but fun nonetheless.
South Park: The Stick of Truth
The game is a bit slower than what I would have wanted, but it's actually VERY fun. The gameplay is quite solid, and it involves well timed clicks from your mouse to make moves work properly. It sounds easy, but it can get very frustrating. The jokes and dialogue are funny too IMO, though often very racist; finding Jesus was an interesting experience. I'm about half way through it (I think) and it's kept me entertained all the way so far, and I doubt it will get boring.
Rome: Total War
Sat down to play this for 15 mins, ended up wasting away 6 hours straight. Jesus Christ. It's very engaging and actually makes you think about your strategies; you have to be prepared for anything. Handling cities was a pain in the ass though. Unlike Age of Mythology, the AI in this game is actually smart and interesting. I took over Carthage with about 280 soldiers, and then 5 turns later a Carthage army with 1080 men came and destroyed me. That loss was a real pain in my rump -_-

the "2 Line Review" part being meaningless is only valid for this thread. If you want to vent, go for it.
In the other threads, the purpose of the "2 lines" is to give a quick opinion of how good/bad a game is to encourage others to play it or not without being too specific, revealing plot spoilers, and/or do 500 word essays on the cultural impact a game may or may not have on current generations, etc.

People already do and will continue to write stuff much longer than just two lines, and that's absolutely fine (I myself have certainly done so)! It's certainly led to a lot of good, interesting discussions for those who care, and those who don't can always scroll down. There's absolutely no good reason to hold anyone to a hard and fast rule for this stuff.

It's not as "hard and fast rule" as much as it was a suggested guideline. If the mods are not going to enforce it, or outright discourage people from following said guideline, feel free to officially remove the specification from the thread title.
I for one will just brace myself for the increasingly longer walls of texts being posted in these threads, and/or avoid them altogether (or just scroll down on my 4" mobile screen like you suggest)

Stop enforcing? When have mods ever done so? Intentionally stifling interesting conversation is a pretty stupid thing to do, and something that flies in the face of the very purpose of moderators. There's no big need for the status quo to change: some people write short things, and other people write longer things, and conversations happen, and no one gets bent out of shape because entries are too short/long. There hasn't been any problems with that approach.

People that have those kinds of expectations could probably be doing a lot more with their time than worrying about if someone's review goes over an arbitrary amount of lines. What does that even mean anyway? Sentences? Physical lines at a certain resolution?
Of course it would be you, your 18 line reviews with no line breaks are insufferable.

Man, for someone who gets mad at me for bringing up a single instance of him being a grammar/English nazi, you sure aren't doing much to ward off that image.
My linebreaks are put in there to separate themes for each "line" so that my thoughts aren't an unorganized mess. It's pretty common to do in English writing, especially reviews!
Like I said, if it's so meaningless and unimportant, make it official by editing the title of the threads in question.
Because who gives a fuck? Good god, walt, how uneventful can your life be to cause you to be HELLBENT on getting a thread's title changed?
Plus as I already stated earlier, I'm pretty sure the "two lines" bit is more meant to say to write a little something extra that's not the game's title. Sometimes people happen to write a little more extra.

-I just ended it today and started the NEW GAME + with the unlocked items n such. I stopped there so i can give that game a break for much later on full replay. Gotta get revenge on that damn Giant Boss purple glowing creature that was a pain in the ass for me with the new unlocked guns lol
-Great game. Great ending. Great story IMO. Game play was tight and not annoying to me. Only thing that was missing was a swift dodge and roll feature for when enemies that charge or jump at you. Id give the game a 10 but because its missing that feature it gets a 9.5. So If you are a huge fan of Resident evil, the earlier games of silent hill, Dead space and rock star game's old PS2 classic Manhunt game then this is the perfect survival horror game for you! Enemy AI is smart! A decent challenge that keeps you on your toes.
Awesome game :thumbsup:

Because people are going to FUCKING CRACK if they came into the thread expecting to read a 2-line review and see one that's not exactly two lines.

See this is your problem, you see everything in black and white. Real life doesn't work like that! Just because something says it's "2 lines" doesn't mean it's going to be exactly "2 lines."
For example, TV stations usually advertise their programs as being "a half hour," when the reality is closer to 21-22 minutes when you factor in advertisements. In this situation, would it be more advantageous to advertise "half an hour" or "roughly 21-22 minutes?"
"2 lines" in this context does not literally mean "2 lines," but rather "state your opinion of the game."
Also, HELLBENT? I'm not desperate at all, I'm just establishing a dialogue here. Give me break, get some patience man.
I think considering your bouts of ad hominem and nit-picking, you've gone beyond "establishing a dialogue" and are well within the confines of "hellbent." Cheers.

Megaman X4 These briefs are amazing! Fresh out of the hot dryer these fruit of the loom boxer briefs keep a snug fit where its wanted and loose where its needed. No intricate patterns or design, they kept these briefs simple and easy on the eyes but a quality fit. Controls are good, a slit in the front supplies easy access to the joystick, which is a bit smaller than I'd like it to be. They are also super absorbent, which is required for a gentleman like me, who soils himself at least once a night per week. Pick up a pair at your local Walmart today!

Studio Quality Surround Sound, check. 51 inch LED TV, check. Slight liquor induced mayhem with friends at 3AM, checkaroo.
Jesus, this game was freaky as fuck. The lighting definitely screams next-gen, and the ambient horror music added a special touch of quality. There were 5 of us, and each of us played alone one after another, while the others wait in the other room, playing some other game like Tekken Tag 2 or BF3.
After an hour or so, with all of us freaked out, we then played as a whole with a walkthrough because there actually is an easter egg to this game. The walkthrough definitely did not kill the feeling of tension, because as we progressed in the game, the happenings in-game became more and more creepy.
I won't really go into full detail, but all that I'll say is that you should definitely try this out. Seeing Kojima, Del Toro, and Norman Reedus' name made us scream like fucking fan girls.

So many decisions, such little time. This game was awesome in numerous ways ranging from its atmosphere to the badassery of Bigby.

Getting a 200+pt. score on Tekken Bowl definitely took a lot of tries, and getting to finish Time Attack in under 6 minutes was no easy task either, but then I picked Wang and just exploited the game's AI ... His b1+2 super just breaks the game. As for Tag 2 Prologue, getting to see all the ending images was the hardest trophy to unlock. mainly because it tested my patience.

Metal Gear Solid 2:Substance These VR Missions are making me start to dislike MGS. Up until I unlocked Tuxedo Snake, nearly all of the missions took intelligence or strategy to get the top high score (or if I was in doubt, I consulted ChildOfAsuka's top score FAQS). But the majority of Tuxedo Snake's missions required speed or some luck. I only got a top high score on Variety Level 1 because of luck (and ammo conversion.).
But now I've got more hell coming my way in the form of MGS1 Snake. No grenade launcher for the grenade weapon missions and probably a whole lot worse. I had to take a short break tonight because the last three PSG-1 missions pissed me off. Luckily, I only have Pliskin's final Stinger missile mission and Tuxedo Snake's final no weapon mission to revisit in order to get the top scores (and change their names from yellow to orange) on.
MGS1 Snake's missions will probably make me go insane

I was going to start my absence/dedicating internet usage to watching anime today, but then I saw these responses
Since I got a PS2 and played MGS2 in 2009. I never got back into the series until I finally came to MGS4 and completed the last of it. But I'm not calling it quits. Goldeneye 64 was fairly difficult to 100%, especially with the Aztec level on 00 Agent. While I came to know that level like the back of my hand, I would sometimes forget to open the exhaust bay before I went after Jaws or I would be extremely close to beating it and got killed by a laser shot coming from a distance. (Jaws is is easily beaten, due to the "enemy can't do anything at close range" problem. But then you have to deal with endless laser totting guards while you backtrack all the way to the bulletproof glass room with the hard drive.) Don't get me started on the invincibilty cheat, because that took me a few weeks to get. Ditto with the Caverns time trial on 00 Agent and the blue-capped bullet sponge guards. But I persevered, figured out strategies, and even watched a few videos.
MGS1 Snake's grenade missions will just require some thinking and luck. All of the other weapon missions will be monotony. If necessary, at least ChildofAsuka covered the other weapon missions before he ragequited. A pity that he doesn't cover the the final two hold-up missions though.
Provided nothing happens to the save data from this game: (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/51/ScIIIbox.jpg)

Lightning returns - Final Fantasy XIII I played the first two games in the series and I really liked them. This game... ehhh. I don't know. I'm as far as 2 hours deep in the main story and I'm already sick of the hand-holding the game gives to you vía Hope's "Codec".
I feel like I have almost no room for exploration since the game has these stupid time constraints and objective based gameplay, so even if you ignore the missions and start fooling around you are going to fail because you have fixed time to accomplish objectives :(
The only highlit is the battle system, which is really fun.

Earthbound/Mother 2 (SNES/Wii U Virtual Console) My knowledge of RPG's I've played is pretty limited to the Pokemon series, and I needed something to get me out of that comfort zone, and this game does the trick pretty well with its quirkiness and how easy it is to farm for experience (because when fighting low level enemies, it doesn't engage the battle sequence and you just get the EXP).
Currently I am in Twoson, about to get the Pencil Eraser from the Apple Kid, I remember stopping right next to two Evil Ramblin' Mushrooms while being mushroom'd.
This is my first time doing a '2 Lines Review' and I'm still not 100% sure as to what that means so I just did two sentences.
