AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 There's nothing wrong with X-2. Folks who had a lot emotionally invested in FFX would beg to differ. Fortunately I am not clouded by those folks' perceptions and expectations, since I never played FFX. X-2 sucks regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Is it worth playing for someone who likes FF10? I have heard not-so-great things about X2, and i dont know if a game starring rikku and yuna, without a big epic plot, is what i want to get into. i still have bad memories about that awful awful "music concert" commercial they ran for X-2 all the time. I'm vaguely curious about the gameplay though, having character classes and being able to switch them around sounds kind of interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 X-2 links the world of Spira to FFVII therefore it is the most important game ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah it sounds cool, but it's pointless and unnecessary. It's one of the easiest RPGs I've ever played, just not terribly fun. Forget about the epic plot; it's pretty much a bunch of mini-quests, and lots of terrible dialogue. Gameplay is pretty much every turn based RPG you've played before, with the added addition of being able to change classes mid-battle (only once tho). Oh, there's something to "timing" your attacks, but it's still very same-old, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Well, I loved X-2. And Andrew is wrong about the class change, you can change as many times as you want. You can have the occaisonal boss battle where you constantly have to change around classes during the fight, which was pretty fun. It certainly isn't for everyone, but the game is like 15 bucks Canadian, so why not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Pounds 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 I hated FF X-2 so much that it is one of the very few games I own in which I quitted before finishing it. At the beginning, I liked it. The battle were fast-paced and I liked the "level up" system they used. Sure, the story was silly but it would surely get better as I would progress to the game. Unfortunately, I've found out that pretty much of the game was do a job in the part of the world, clear all the overworld, a segment or two about "Tidus" and begin a new chapter where you go through all the overworld again. Rinse and repeat 4 or 5 times. You had build your characters like you wanted, there wouldn't be any progress to make with them, so combat became a chore. The story wasn't silly anymore, it was retarded, and the characters, more specifically Brother and the little bastard-with-a-mask who sings in a deadpan voice, were incredibly annoying. Some people may like X-2, but for me, it ranks as one of the worst RPG I've played. If you want to play light-hearted stuff, play a Lunar, miles ahead of X-2.

Anya 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 Brother and Shinra were funny. I liked the whole cast. I like Lunar but there is like no gameplay. As simple as X-2 and some other FF games are they're no where near as limited and simple as Lunar. Lunar's characters and story make that game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 Almost no RPGs have terribly good gameplay. For it's time, Lunar's battle system was fine, because at least characters position on the battle field mattered somewhat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted July 16, 2006 I was at one of the Gamestop's in the mall today and notice again the "COMING SOON" cases for the Superman Returns videogame. This Gamestop got retarded and took down all their signs that used to list release dates for coming games, so I finally asked one of the employees when the game is coming out since movie games usually come out with the movie. He looked it up and it's out on October 31st? Is anyone besides me going to care about it by then? If it means a good game then I don't care but it just seems wierd to release the movie game five months after the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2006 I got Midway's Arcade Treasures 3 for $3 used for my Cube thanks to a bad sticker at EB. Should've been like $9. I know it hasn't gotten great reviews, but I've wanted to try Hydro Thunder since I missed out when it was released to the N64 and I have fond memories of Stun Runner. I'll give an opinion when I get a chance to try it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it was suppose to come out already but it got delayed and I think the reason they have the "RESERVE YOUR COPY TODAY" cases up now is because the movie is getting so much hype.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Probably because the list is *worst game titles* (you know, as in the names?) and not worst games? Game titles I also figured could go on there: -Rival Schools: United by Fate -any of the xenosaga titles, because they use german subtitles referencing nietzche because the developer is Japanese and likes to make pretentious piles of shit. -Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie : it's almost like it's an in-joke of the movie's length or something. Put Superman Returns - The Game here if they still go with that title. -Legend of Heroes : So did they name the game in like 2 minutes? From what I understand this RPG is so hopelessly generic that it should come up in a white box with plain black letters, so it seems oddly appropriate. -Rayman: Raving Rabbids - Do not SPOIL the shocking ending where Rayman is finally "put down!" -While they wouldn't qualify under that lists' rules, the Simple 2000 series has goofy titles that tranlate into stuff like "The Fighting," although "Zombies vs. Ambulance" really tops them. While I was searching through Gamefaqs to refresh my memory, I noticed some odd things. -There's going to be a Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy beat 'em up. Um, ok. -There's going to be a Kim Possible PS2 game. Buena Vista games is publishing but I don't see a developer. Hopefully its the folks who did the GBA games, which managed to be really good Batman-wannabe style games. -Elijah Wood will be voicing Spyro in the new Spyro game, Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. His sidekick Sparx will be voiced by DAVID SPADE and Gary Oldman will voice Spyro's mentor. It's supposed to be darker themed, though, but I can't see them letting Spade go balls-out which makes that rather pointless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
