Dragon Quest 8

NVRMIND THEN

Damn it guys, stop spooging all over this game, it's making me want to buy it! I have like the worst willpower ever when it comes to new games.

Trust me, if you like RPGs even a little, you NEED this game.

Well, I've gotten to another point where I have to earn a TON of gold to get all the best weapons and armor where I'm at. I tried camping goodie bags for 95 gold each beneath ascanthia, but I'm not bumping into them like I should. It took me like 2 hours to save 10k gold using whistle. You lose out on xp this way, but you can earn a bunch of gold.. Right now, I'm just lvling around Baccurat at 100 gold per group of enemies. This is faster than the other way I was doing it. To those who have beaten it: is the best place to farm for gold where you're leveling, or backtracking?

oh come on - Castlevania DS is at least my favorite DS game, and seeing as how I haven't bought all too many games this year, it stacks up well against what I've seen and played.

Meh.

Yeah, I liked all those games as well. Well, I didn't like the switching back and forth of viewpoints in Halo 2 too much and thought GoW fell apart at the end, but other than that. RE4 and GTA:SA were pretty damn awesome, definately among the best games this generation.

your street cred is TOAST!

i played that ff demo. i liked it. made me wanna play pso, though...

So yeah, I ordered this game. I couldn't help myself.

I was thinking about that earlier today and realized why I don't care about any of the characters: No one has conversations, they all just tell things. A lot of that seems to stem from the silent hero, since he never responds to anything there's a lot of direct, "We should do this," or "This is how I feel," but there's almost never any give and take. That's probably why everyone comes off like cardboard cutouts to me.
