i wasnt asked, but let me say that i've reviewed TW2 with 82% on a german Site, like 3 Months ago. ^_^ (Great game, but some sad technical issues.)

@Max: say, do you have those pervy FPS Probs in towns, too? Or did they fix that? (talking mostly about that chinese one, but the others too.)

@topic: Will be done with Venetica by tomorrow i think. It can be called a shit-covered Silvernecklace. It isnt anywhere near Two Worlds, but for those who are addicted to WRPGs and suck out every game of this kind, it can be much fun, once ppl manage to ignore the shitty Modelling and Presentation. would give it a 69%. would have been around 74% without some strange Bugs. (Sometimes, if you ignore an enemy and come back later, only their Weapons remain..floating   in mid-air. 0o.. // happened once: i couldnt talk to ppl anymore, had to restart. // The questlog was unreadable once, because it was covered by something that has looked like my Computers Mainboard. 0o.. restart has fixed that aswell.)

@Crystalchild

Honestly the only times the framerate dropped was when I was riding on my horse really fast, and when the game was autosaving. The motion blur for example, I can see how it can be a big problem for some people, but I actually got accostumed to it and like it. Overall none of the technical problems were even a slight bother for me, but again, I can see how they can ruin somebody's experience.

THREE Fricken' Words(and a letter) : Tales of Graces f

It has made my year for RPGs along with Dark Souls. Not really a fan of Elder Scrolls, though I'll keep an eye on Skyrim.

But seriously. Tales of Graces. Hawt damn. Now all I need to catch back up on my Tales will be Tales of Xillia. I'll be replaying Tales of Vesperia for a fifth timea week before Graces releases.

Is Tales of ... battle system similar to Star Ocean IV ? I only played Eternia so a "bit" diffrent.

You know, everytime I really start liking Fallout: New Vegas, I get hit with some annoying bug or terrible level designs (I'm looking at you Vault 34). It's a shame, because without all this crap, the game would definitely be better than Fallout 3 was.

It is similar, but imo more refined and better suited for a 'fair' JRPG. In Vesperia you can move in a 3Dimensional plane like Star Ocean, and you have regular slash attacks (which you can aim straight, up, or down) and then special attacks called artes. These can be magic, or special weapon attacks, or really any number of move varying from character to character. they are done just like regular attacks, but with a different button(you still need to aim up, down, left or right to do different attacks) You can also play the game like the old Tales games where it's a 2D plane . . . but to get better advantages on enemies and to dodge its easily to just move around. Also, you can block, which is always nice.

yeah, graces will be amazin'.. even though i'd have liked a announcement of Vesperia PS3 more.

i mean, i have it here. Vesperia lies somewhere near my 360 for ages now, but the Problem is, that MS' consoles never where the ones i like to play a game on. no idea why, since MS has made amazing machines, but thats an unchangeable habit.. so yeah, Vesperia on PS3 would have been better. (will start it on 360 soon, i think.)

it makes it even worse that my Copy of TOV:First Strike (Blu Ray) will be watched on PS3, LFMZAO.

Whichever console Tales games get released for is my console of choice :3

Eh, I just to be a huge PS2 fan last gen, and a huge 360 fan for this gen until I left VGChartz the first time. Then I got a PS3, and I'm pretty much just an HD console fan now, but only because they have the games I want to play.

I'm hoping for a Vesperia PS3 release too, honestly, mainly because of First Strike (though I already torrented and watched the subbed version twice.) I want it in English pretty bad, though I've already beaten Vesperia four times. Honestly, do this: Paint your Xbox black, and pretend your using a dual shock to play Vesperia, because it is still the greatest JRPG I've played to this day. To be fair, though, I've never been much of a Final Fantasy fan, and I like anime-styled games a whole lot.

Dude, if they don't announce it for PS3 soon, play it. Play it like your life depended on it, then play it again once you''re done so you can beat the crap out of Kratos and all the other cameo characters. Game is amazing. Also, gotta admit, I'm hoping for Xillia way more then Graces . . . I've always loved Team Symphonia's tales games a lot more then Team Destiny's.

and thats why i think New Vegas is an insult to the amazing F3.

its buggy, and the story sucks.

'the Story is amazing! you have no idea!' - no, you dont have (to the guy who will quote me on that) . the thing you've found so cool about the story was that you were able to make choices that have changed the outcome. But thats it. the story itself wasnt anything special.

oh and by the way, the Vegas strip is a bad laugh.  in terms of scale, they could have called it Fallout: Save Screen. would have been more fitting, because saving the game once takes more time than walking through this 2-room environment, that is called vegas.

@shadow:

whew, nah, i am not THAT much into tales. :D (But i always like to see ppl being so much loving  a Game. =))

i loved Symphonia on the Cube by the way.

And the idea with painting my box.. nice one. xD!

The only thing about the Strip that annoys me is that you can't fast travel to the middle of it.

I will say that I'm thrilled the crappy subway system from Fallout 3 is gone though. I haven't finished the story yet, but I do think the game has better writing in it than Fallout 3 does, that's just my opinion though. I know I should be mad at the amount of bugs it has, and yet I can't stop playing.

I'll probably stop for awhile once Dragon Age 2 comes out.
