[quote name='panzerfaust']Kinda blown away with how great SFxT feels. Never touching SSF4 again.[/QUOTE]

There's plenty of games that should have made you say this long ago.

Power to the players.
 
Currently rolling Heihachi / Kuma with some decent day 1 tech.

Got a few people coming over to play some more. Gonna spend some more time with Hugo, Rolento and King.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Aren't you just happy to have more games in your precious XCOM universe? ;)[/QUOTE]
more isn't always better

see: the matrix
 
[quote name='whoknows']I like the Matrix trilogy.

Power to the players.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Hey, I like the matrix. So more was better! :p[/QUOTE]

Indeed, it was enjoyable for what it was.

Power to the players.
 
Yeah, I like the Matrix movies. The first one is great, 2nd one is still pretty good, and third one is just ok--but still enjoyable enough.

Need to watch them on Blu. Been several years since I watched them, and have never watched the Blus after buying the ultimate set about a year ago in a sale.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to grab Chrono Trigger[/QUOTE]

But that would mean it's the PS1 version, which isn't as good. The DS version or original would be better.

Yes. PS1 version sucked. Get the original or DS.
 
I don't think it's fair to say the PS1 version sucks when they all suck.

I think you mean to say the PS1 version sucks the most.

I should have read up in advance, I already shot down Liara and Space Racist Ashley in the hopes of going for Tali, but she's not available in the first game. My Shepard shall go unloved. (except by Wrex)
 
Baldur's Gate has been conquered. I skipped a lot of sidequests and didn't even go in to half of the buildings in the city itself. It was a good first effort by Bioware (the only thing they'd done before that was a first-person mech shooter), and it's interesting to see how RPGs have improved/worsened/changed since, but it's a very flawed creation. The writing is uneven, and I've never been a huge fan of strictly appyling D&D rules to computer games, especially second edition.

I've only put a little bit in to Baldur's Gate 2, but HOLY fuck THIS GAME KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF BALDUR'S GATE 1. I do not know if it can keep it up, but this is god damn glorious. A fantastic start (actually somewhat reminiscent of Planescape Torment), vastly improved writing, interesting aesthetics, better voice acting (especially that fucking narrator)...

Son, I am appoint.
 
Earlier when I looked 4 people on my friends list were playing SFxT vs 2 playing ME3.

What's the world coming to?

Power to the players.
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']I can link Ken's cr.lk -> fp.srk easily, but when they ask me to do a cr.lp -> cr.lk -> fp.srk, the dp has yet to come out =[[/QUOTE]

I don't know what this means, which is why I will not buy SFxT.

Ken's trials were pissing me off... that's one of the last ones i got finished and i had a hard time with it...

I take it you did Tales of the Sword Coast also? How was it? I've never actually played that.
 
I ignored most of Tales of the Sword Coast. It seemed like fairly irrelevant fluff.

I love the aesthetics of BG2. Amn has this great Turkish/Byzantine feel to it, whereas the environments in Baldur's Gate were bred in a lab to be as generically high-fantasy as possible. Athkatla (the main city in Shadows of Amn) is a very "cultural mosaic" type of place, much like Sigil in Planescape, which is just so much more interesting than Baldur's Gate. There's actually a lot of Planescape stuff (Planescape being a setting that connects otherwise irreconcilable universes, focused primarily on the physics-and-causality-can-eat-my-cunt central city of Sigil) in BG2, and even a store that specializes in explicit references to Planescape Torment.

It's still a PC game based on a fairly accurat rendition of second-edition D&D rules, so there are a few problems that will undoubtedly arise (PST had this issue as well, though Black Isle played a little looser with the rules).

Srsly though, there's not enough Byzantium in RPGs. Dragon Age team! Tevinter! Do it.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']I don't know if I like SFxT.
I'll have to play more later. :\[/QUOTE]

My initial thought is I like the feel of it better than 3SO. This is coming from a complete scrub.

It's probably because my brain functions on SSF4, but I feel like the learning curve is really steep.

Even with skipping stuff, you tear through content at an incredible rate. Tip of the hat.

My problem is that not only do I have enough time, there is no way in hell I can possibly leave buildings unexplored. That kind of neglect will haunt me. I can't leave anything alone.

For instance, the only BG I've played since writing about it in the last GGT was to figure out a better way to gank that massive prick Firebead with my lvl 1 shitheel. Felt good. Completely wrecked my reputation, and I have no intention of playing my character that way, it was just something to do with a save. I had to give em the bidness. Punk ass, wrinkly ass mage got GOT, son.

So I think my thief has exhausted the secrets in Candlekeep starting out. Swiped a sweetass +1 dagger from the guy in the barracks. Haha.

Black Isle and its children Troika and Obsidian have done a lot of work to cure me of that. Motherfuckers love to create large environments with sweet fuck all inside them.

I'll agree so far -- I've only done the training and did Ken trials 1-14 and Jin trials 1-12.
But I have a hard time with this. I didn't with SSF4/BB(CS/CT)/UMvC3/MK9/SC5. :\
 
I've been practicing Kazuya's mist step all day, and incredibly elementary juggle combos, lol.

Tried Xiaoyu, who I want as a tag, but christ she's complicated.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']That is one of the worst chocolate bars that has ever existed.[/QUOTE]

What else do you consider a bad chocolate bar?

I need to know if you hate good things.
