9 days till final fantasy 13 !!!
Whose excited ?! I AM !!

Me too! I'm aware of the problems in the game but I've also read that it's extremely enjoyable to play, so I'm looking forward to it.

Beat MW2 recently...good FPS...as with most CoD games though I find myself zoning out completely when they get to the big, sweeping story map segments so maybe some day I'll replay it and pay more attention...but I don't know that I care.

I also just got through my Renegade Infiltrator playthrough of Mass Effect. It was a lot of fun mixed in with too many hours of tedious sidequests with dungeon layouts that make Lost Sanctum & the Dimensional Vortexes look like labyrinthine mirror mazes filled with purpose and wonder...Fortunately there are the rare planets (& all of the story ones) that are just gorgeous looking. Really made me ok with the Mako stuff was the ability to look up into a brilliant alien skyline...Weird that you have to play through it once to lift the level cap (for 10 levels anyway) on a NG+ playthrough...I will definitely be playing this again (hopefully before I get ME2 because idk if I'll be able to go back!)...

Also started Lunar Silver Star for Sega CD (really this time! because I feel the need for a good jrpg)...and Too Human (really this time too! went with Defender).

Beat Mega Man 10 earlier today. Definitely a good one.

Just got started on a Mega Man/Normal run.

And the reason you don't give Mega Man charge and slide, but you do for Protoman is to vary up the game play and give players some choice/replayability.

It's still a fun ride. I just beat Proto Man's game on normal. Easily the hardest thing I've had game-wise in a while, but it was still a blast.

Overall, I still think MM9 was just a tad bit better.

I HATE STRIKE MAN'S LEVEL

I HATE STRIKE MAN'S LEVEL

I had a lot of problems with that one as well.

It still wasn't as bad as that MOTHERFUCKING CASTLE 2!!! >_>

Than why not do the sensible thing and give Mega man the upgrades and make Protoman different.  That makes more sense character wise also being that he came first so we can only assume he wouldn't have as many upgrades especially being that he (At least according to the Power battle) won't let Dr. Light operate on him.

I haven't heard of this, exactly what is wrong with FF13? can't find it on google.

People have been complaining it's to linear. It got a 39/40, which is nothing bad. People just like to complain.

[Romana]

Considering everything else seems to be top notch, the linearity probably won't bother me. Especially since I've had my share of huge open areas and backtracking in SO4. It balances out. Or something.

That's not necessarily the more sensible thing. Proto Man has some things that are better, others that are worse. It's variety. If Mega Man was outright better, there'd be no point in having Proto Man in it at all.

to be honest i got bored of final fantasy at around 12. i just didnt care. the characters seemed flat and pointless. the intro took forever and it was mostly eyecandy, it seemed. a lot of pretty people in a lot of pretty places, but not a lot of pretty decent story. and the way they just seem to milk them for all that the fans are willing to give is dull. whoo, we saved te world. the end. theres nothing more after that. everyone lives happily ever after. i doubt that i will get ff13 at all, but if i do its going to be a used copy.
