| Not at all. I can't imagine playing a sports game on PC. And JRPGs, should I ever get a lobotomy, should only be played on console.
But this is easily the buggiest console game I've ever played. I simply cannot get from one save point to another without it freezing. Flag this | Edit this post |

| No dude, actually one of my complaints that I didn't air here is the game's reliance on MMO-style gameplay and tactics. Ability cooldowns/stamina and pulling enemies by groups doesn't jive with me.
And I'm not "wrong". I'm not "biased". I have an opinion. You may disagree with it, but that's your choice. Flag this | Edit this post |

| No dude, what I'm saying is that a freaking random encounter that is utterly meaningless shouldn't have to involve me micromanaging every single second to make sure my idiot comrades don't step on the obvious trap and use the proper abilities, and so that I don't use half the health poultices in my already depleted inventory.
THAT is what I'm saying. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I didn't say I find it too complicated.
I also don't think it's too hard.
I think it's too RANDOMLY hard and that encounters are imbalanced for their difficulty level. A fight that should be easy can become unnecessarily difficult for... whatever reason. I really can't tell.
Worse than that, there are fights that are completely disproportionate in difficulty to the rest of the game you've played. I'm not even talking boss encounters. I just mean plain old simple ambushes, where you find your genius Tactics AI has used half the health poultices you have in what is essentially a meaningless encounter. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Nah. No real desire to.
Just felt like warning people about Dragon Age. The game is a few patches away from polish.
I exaggerate a bit and will edit the post down somewhat, but the point stands. The difficulty in it is utterly random. There is no rhyme or reason to the toughness of encounters, and having to resort to exploiting the AI to win does not make for good gameplay. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | No, integrating it into the game breaks immersion and makes it a pushier sell. I'm playing along, just got out of the swamp or whatever, make it to camp, start getting in intimate conversations with my party members and the game decides to slap me in the face with a frozen tuna and ask HAI WUD U LIEK TO BY SUM DEE ELL SEE?

| Please, I used to review games professionally. This isn't post-ragequit. I'd simply stopped playing this morning and decided to write that when I realized I had no more desire to play and was out $60.
Jacob, you're absolutely free to disagree with me. Like I said, some people will enjoy it. I'm not among them. And given a brief glance at the official forums, I am far from alone. Flag this | Edit this post |

| It takes something special to excite me nowadays.
Doom 3 I think I over-rated in my review, in retrospect. It just wasn't good. Id needs a new concept and hopefully that will get them started on new gameplay. Seen Mirror's Edge? Yeah.
I don't even notice Sims expansions to be honest. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Speaking of the 6 month cycle, do you think it's disappearing? Neither company has hit its targets reliably, we're more at a 9 month cycle now.
Also, the technology is really outpacing games quite severely at the moment, IMO. My 6800 would still be good enough if I hadn't fried it. Flag this | Edit this post |
