So is there any games you guys want to get for Christmas?

Any games in particular? I hope I get Resident Evil 6, Far cry 3, Silent hill HD collection (yes I know it's been out for a long time), NBA 2k 13----I think that's it.

 

How exactly do you plan what you get for Christmas?

 

I hope I get Beyond: Two Souls. It was the one that stuck out most to me. I can't even remember anything else I put on my Christmas list besides 'anything zelda,' haha.

also yeah good point ^ just thought to put what i hoped for instead of planning since...made more sense.

 

I asked for Portal 2.

 

Problem fixed.

 

Dream Drop. I've got a 3DS and can't wait to play it. Heard the graphics are average, but who cares?

I just got three games (and a bbgun my eye!! lol) let's see, I got AC Revalations to complete my PS3 collection. I got Red Dead Redemption+Undead Nightmare, because the multiplayer is amazing (played on my friends Xbox) and I got my very first ever FF game, FF XIII-2. Never played a FF game before, so this will be my first. AC was 20 bucks, FF was 20 bucks, and RDR was 30 bucks. Not a bad price for some great games.

AC collection complete, trophy unlocked. I amz super collector!!

 

Not the best one to start out with. Unlike most people in the fan base I actually loved that game, but it is rather confusing and I can only think that skipping XIII isn't going to help that. Although you play as characters that weren't part of the first team so it might not be quite as bad as I think it would be.

 

You aren't the only one. I think every game is art in it's own way, and FF is ANYTHING but the exception

 

I understand some of the modern vs old school FF debate since the series has changed a lot of the years. But I feel like many people now expect perfect mind blowing games in the FF series, and while they're great they aren't THAT good. Also explains why a lot of the games increase in popularity after a couple of years.

I've yet to play a FF game I disliked, although I had to let XII grow on me (still not a fan of the gambit system but that game is a real pain to play without it). VII is actually my least favorite so far. I haven't gotten into the Dirge of Cerberus or Crisis Core games but the main title just didn't hold up well; especially when you factor in all the hype VII has.

 

The only ones I really dislike is X.

I know I'm awful, but I couldn't get past how annoying the characters were.

I love XIII's plot and characters, I just wish there was more side quest type stuff going on throughout the game. As it stands there is effectively none until you reach chapter 10 (I think, might be a bit off).

But it seems to me like people just have overly high expectations. Games are hyped to death before they ever hit shelves. I really don't think FF was ever as good as people expect the new games to be. Every single one I've played was broken in some why or another.

 

I heard XIII was the worse according to the hardcore FF fans and my uncle because you couldn't do side quest like the others and they hated the leveling. I beat the game and I loved it! But the Final boss was such a *****!
