I finished Assassin's Creed, which is one of the most repetitive games I have ever played in my life. I loved it at the beginning, hated it at the end. I have no clue how the developers let that heppen to the game, did they not play it? Anywho, I am now 4 hours or so into Rondo of Swords. I like it so far, but it is definitely hard at spots (much like Fire Emblem). I don't understand why people say this. AC had the deepest combat system I've ever seen in a free roaming game. The worlds were huge and it was up to the player to decide what missions they would undertake and what parts of the story they'd uncover. People say it's repetitive, but it's one of the most constantly engaging games I've ever played. It's like the AC I went through is totally different to the one everyone else has played. I honestly think that AC is a love it or hate it kind of game. There is no in-between to be found. I thought the combat system was anything BUT engaging. Waiting for a guard to attack you so you can counter is very boring, and this happens alot because you are constantly attacked by multiple guards making it impossible to melee attack without getting ripped apart. |

Nice find. The subtitle throws me off though. Most people agree the subtitle to the game should be something like "the people are shown the way." But whatevs...I'll take it. :) Thanks :). Yeah, the subtitle throws me off also. Why do the main installments in this series always have to have a subtitle. Why can't it just be Dragon Quest IV. Final Fantasy only has subtitles for their spin-offs... |

It was either this or FES and I think I'm getting this. I guess I'll do my own Blondie, Angel Eyes and Tuco list when we get down to brass tacks after I get down to C&C Games to buy the thing. I'm getting this and FES on Wed lol. |

They are more rock than Creed was and there new singer is MUCH MUCH better. Well, you're half right. :P Musically, they sound exactly the same to my ear. Myles Kennedy is a great singer, though...I just think he'd be better off in something like Velvet Revolver. If you are going by their first cd "One Day Remains", then yes they sound similar. Have you heard their new cd "Blackbird" though? It sounds alot different because Myles actually got to be apart of the songwriting etc... Their first cd was written when Scott Stapp was still in the band and was supposed to be the next Creed cd, but they kicked him and had Myles sing instead. Blackbird is definitely much better. |

How would you rate the difficulty compared to either of the GBA Fire Emblems? I'm on like the 10th battle and I would say it is about the same difficulty as the Fire Emblem games. There are battles that are harder than others. Some of them were a breeze though. Thats why everyone says the difficulty spikes randomly. |

I'm curious: For anyone that disagrees with how many American/Western games there are on that list, go and list Japanese games you'd put on instead. Personally, I'd take two of the games off (the ones I already listed most likely) and put in their places Killer7 and Vagrant Story, but that's really all I can think of. Plus some of the Western stuff is kind of obscure anyway - Longest Journey and Grim Fandango? Planescape Torment almost seems a foregone conclusion. For me, I would put Final Fantasy Tactics (the remake because of the improved translation), Final Fantasy X (I know not everyone will agree with me on that one), and maybe Chrono Cross (another not everyone will agree with). These are personal opinions so obviously everyones list would be different. |

Yeah, that first earthquake that you experience is always freaky. I've lived in California my whole life, so I'm pretty used to them by now, but man, that first time I felt one scared the pants off of me.
Glad to see you're okay. Was there any damage to your house or possessions? My parents said a few things fell off shelves downstairs and broke, but none of my stuff upstairs did. |

I have nothing but respect for the team that localizes Square Enix games. In the last 5 years they've almost never failed to please me, *even though* they don't have the dual-language policy that Atlus and NIS America almost unequivocally uphold.
Very good article, IMO. I'm not a big IGN fan, but this article was good. Same here. They haven't disappointed me in awhile. FFT for PSP and FFXII I think are two of the best localisations I have seen. I'm not big on having Jap dialogue or text (I could care less really) so Square Enix not doing that never bothers me. |
