NO



Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

If I'm not enjoying a game I stop, right away

That said, it's not always the best idea. For example I stopped playing Baldur's Gate 2 because the prisoney bit was boring - apparently the rest of the game was awesome

Final Fantasy XII

I did it for the story.  I really hated the combat system and that just killed it for me.  But I wanted to see how the story went so I sucked it up and kept going.

Wow. IMO, the story was the worst thing about the game. I could predict everything right from the beginning. It was actually the gameplay that got me through. Never has there been any other FF game (at least from the ps era) where the final boss was obvious from the first cutscene

What.

Yes. Exactly what twists were there again? After realizing Vayne's thirst for power, I had the feeling he was probably going to do a lot worse to get it. His father's death wasn't a surprise. i can't think of anything else that comes remotely close to a twist.

....Venat wasn't even in the script for the game's first ten hours and they were the single most important figure in the story.

What are you trying to pull?

I admit that I didn't see Venat coming. but if "it" had ended up being the real thing to contend with not Vayne, I'd have been happier I guess. My real problem was that I was expecting emotional touches like FFX and FFVIII lol. The story just felt distant and like just another war between kingdoms.

Venat was the source of the primary conflict throughout the game, the driving force behind both Vayne and Cid, and the source of knowledge about the Magicite and Nethicite. The conflict between the Occuria and humanity was the source of all the major decision-making which was leveled by Ashe and Basch and the rest, and the source of the driving forces behind the actionso f half the major characters.

You didn't guess everything from the beginning. You didn't even guess a quarter of it.

Venat was exactly the same as Yu Yevon in FFX. A cheap explanation of why the main villain is so strong. The Occuria were actually pretty random and when we saw them for the first time, I was like "what the fuck?". They didn't explain what/who they were and yet the main characters didn't bother to tell us what they know about them.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

Ive forsed myself to play CoD4 story mode.... cause all i played was multiplayer



jpespinal on 24 February 2009

MY NEW LIST:

Resistance 2
Final Fantasy 12
King Kong
Okami: BOOOOOOOOOOOORING, thank God for Gamefly
Assassins Creed: i should've listened to IGN, i feel for the hype and found myself hating myself for making this purchase, maybe im just too impatient, but ive never been sooooo anxious to get going in a game, the parts where you couldnt run and had to walk around slowly with your head down made me want to smash my controller...

FFX. Don't get me wrong, the game was just pure greatness, but I lost to Jecht when I first played him....like 10 times in a row. Everytime that happens to me in a Final Fantasy game, I just eventually quit. But FFX-2 was right around the corner, and I was getting it for Christmas, so I sat down, power leveled, and beat Jecht and the game with just pure force (aka no strategy) lol. I wasn't going to play FFX-2 without beating FFX.

I don't play sequels without beating the prequels. It's just my thing

FFXII.....I got to a point where I couldn't beat the boss (I forget which one), so I quit, and haven't played it since February 2007 lol
