His party sucked, I was there, all he did was play Kinect. I played with Sony's dildo all night long.

So gross.

I'm eating Christmas candy while playing New Vegas.

I'm listening to anime music while talking to my beloved and playing "I'm too scared to play Amnesia."

I'm not familiar with much anime, but I've always liked this opening song:

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem also has some awesome music... because it is Daft Punk haha.

I was more commenting on the fact that you said 'every' simplified RPG this gen was being eaten up; but FFXIII seems to have close to a 50/50 split of people that enjoyed it across every type of gamer that played it.

it sold a shit ton of copies. i dont really take popular forum opinion to heart (people on forums on are generally older, strongly opinionated, etc..)

i'd wager a lot of other people enjoyed the game beyond myself.

Selling a ton of copies is not the same as having a lot of people that liked the game. I bought the game when it came out but I certainly didn't really like it. I'm sure a bunch of people got FFXIV too, that doesn't make it not a flaming pile of shit.

Playing Mafia II. I almost wish it was a true open world--there's so much shit I want to stir up, but really can't. :(

That's not really what I was getting at. I just think it's a lot more popular with the casual crowd (the exact same people who don't log onto gaming forums every day to complain about things not being like the 90s). Forum opinions are generally way off from the majority of the people out there purchasing games.

FFXII was hated by every forum on the internet when it came out, it wouldn't make sense for FFXIII to sell the way it did after X-2 (hated by the internet) XI (hated by the internet), and XII (hated by the internet). People have this idea that Square Enix is on the road to destruction, and that the only people buying their games are bitter forum goers who just have to play every FF for no apparent reason. Maybe that's true. You hated the linearity and bought it anyways so maybe it truly is hype of the name alone that's keeping Square alive.

I'm not really sure either, I mean obviously I'm only one person but I would imagine that there are other people who have been playing FF games for a long time (since FFIV on the SNES for me) and don't like where the series is going now but are long time fans so they buy the games to see if they like the new one. I'm sure there are old school fans who also like the new direction, I mean there are a lot of different opinions that people could have.

But, when you look at how Square-Enix has handled FFXIV I get this feeling that they are a little out of touch with their fans.

Different teams for different games, it's a big developer. People can up without the others noticing.

I'm pretty sure the two guys in charge of FFXIV were just let go.

True, but it depends on where the root of the problem lies, if it is in fact in the team; or if it is how the company is being managed in general.

Ok, going to take a break from Mafia II for now. Do I play ME2, Divinity 2, or more King's Bounty?

Can't sleep and I have school again in the morning. Damn 10 day break screwing up my sleeping schedule!

I don't see Kane and Lynch 2 on your list.
