Watched most of Planet 51 in the theater before walking out in utter disgust, $7 be damned (it was a matinee).
The lesson here is to never watch anything animated in the three dee unless Pixar is involved.
Also to pay more attention to the movie listings in hopes of seeing something more watchable like Where the Wild Things Are.

Lard- do we share a brain today? I posted that too.
No. Actually the video assploded onto the internet. Even I was thinking about posting it until I saw that I was beaten (twice). |

Guess they're pulling another Aeris then? I had a feeling that would happen when I first saw her.
Yeah, except Aeris was treated, throughout the game, as a character that would live like any other. When she died, it was kind of a surprise. This chick just has "hopeless die girl" written all over her, as if the creators are constantly foreshadowing her death and want the audience to know that... she probably dies in the opening few sequences anyway, as a plot setup for Snow. Well considering that she ended up receiving half of the game's total character development (such as it was), you'd think that it would be crazy to wipe out such an investment without some kind of proxy on stand by. Squaresoft sure showed us. Off course they're not trying to do it again otherwise they would've made her playable (unless they kill off Fang which would suck on so many levels). |

What's so cool about PS1 is the way the game progressed. It didn't present a linear plot in the way most modern JRPGs do, but rather it presented a series of challenges that the player had to figure out. For instance, at the very start of the game, going too far outside of town kills you, so you have to grind to get past that challenge. Once you're level six or so, you can travel farther and investigate those rumors about Odin and Medusa. After you do, though, you find that Odin is frozen in stone, so you have to figure out how to un-freeze him. There's a big emphasis on information gathering and puzzle-solving, sort of.
It's a more *organic* sort of game progression.
It also helped that it allowed interplanetary travel fairly early on emphasizing the SyFy part of the game. The setting was pretty much PS1's strongest suite (that and the fact that the main character wasn't just another dude heading off to slay a dragon to save a princess). |

Since this discussion seems to have diverged into discussing good games that came out this year, I must say I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned Dragon Age: Origins. Sure it's a bit more PC-oriented and this is the console gaming forum, but there are console versions of it (I'm playing it on the PS3, myself) and it's an absolutely fantastic game. Probably my personal pick for game of the year.
The thread for the game is on the Computer RPGs forum. To be honest, I'm waiting for the admins to finally just merge it with the Console RPG forum. Honestly, there's not enough activity on either board to warrant separate forums anymore. That would be a bad idea given that this forum is about twice as active as most forums I see. |

I wonder if Tia is in the game? She wasn't even in the trailer. I hope that elf guy, Art, is still in the game too.
It looks like it could be pretty good. Dungeon exploring looked fun, and the boss fights looked intense.
She might have been, but your guess is as good as mine thanks to this new fangled art. As for Arty. Something would have to be very wrong for him to not exist in this version for Pime Taradox. Since you know, he is sorta one of the four heroes (right up there with along with those nobodies Maxim, Selan, and Guy). |

What the hell are you guys talking about this is TEH future!!!!!
No. TEH future involved flying cars, robot maids, apartments on stilts, and field trips to places like the Moon, Mars, and various comets. |

Whatever I said in the "What are you getting for Christmas thread?" since anything further out than that is impossible to tell.
After all at the start of this year I ended up with 30+ games that I had no idea I was going to get.
