Mario Party is one of the funnest games to play with friends.

I know you and I haven't always gotten along, but now my opinion of you has changed drastically. Mario Party 2 is the best game ever made.

• A console is worthless without lots of good Japanese games
• Indies are uninspired and pretentious bores 90% of the time - the other 10% are games like Journey and Braid.
• Super Mario 3D World is looking fucking awesome.
• God of War was boring since the third one. Stop fucking making them already.

I agree on all 4 here, except I think God of War has been boring since game 1. I think this is a meh series, if it weren't for the gore, and the over the top violence, it wouldn't sell so well.

Also, I almost exclusively only buy a console when a good JRPG or Gran Turismo releases.

I was going to read everyones posts, but wow in only 4 hours there are over 200 posts!

Want to agree with a couple things I'm reading too.

The Elder Scrolls is repetative, and boring.

Metal Gear Solid is an over-rated series. The only good game in the franchise is Rising, which is good because it's not like MGS at all

I also think Final Fantasy is an over-rated franchise. It's still good, it was really good during between FF IV-X, but I like Lost Odyssey and Golden Sun a lot better.
