Call of Duty was nice when it started (that is, until CoD 2). Then it's just game after game.
I however would like to play World at War when I get the chance (that is, a new computer or a next-gen console).

Welcome to Hyrule
KH is a decent series, but there is a bit too many yaoi undertones (for instance, the intro song makes it seem like slash to me. No wonder there are so many SoraXRiku Ships). As I was playing through them I tended to like the more original parts rather than the disney replays, although there were several worlds I liked. Overall I think girls were the more target demographic with boys being more of a fringe demographic.Originally Posted by Fer!
Thanks for bringing this up, people seem to think otherwise and then they start with their butthurt rants.
To me they're like girl-only RPG's or something, because all of the girls I know who play stuff, love KH to death, and guys are pretty much meh about it.
Ontopic: The World Ends With You, I keep hearing it's the second coming of Christ in JRPG's, and for the NDS, but damn, I got bored quite quickly at it and I loathed the quasi-Squall like character.
I disagree with you on all three points.
X is my favorite FF title (but certainly not my favorite RPG). The battle system is great. I never felt that any of the characters were useless as they each had a role. Many say that they could eventually all be the same, but that is only if you were to grind that much. For the main story and for much of the metagame, charcters were individualized to certain strengths and weaknesses. Elements weren't put into some complex rock paper scissors, but rather in a simple and logical dualistic relationship of fire and ice being opposite and water and lightning being opposite. The story felt incredibly epic at times and the villian was truly worthy to be called so. Tidus may have been a bit talkative, but it was welcoming after Cloud and Squall. The characters all grew incredibly from the beginning to the end. It wasn't even that linear as all you had to do was go backwards, the only thing was that you didn't have a world map to traverse locations and instead traversed the locations themselves.
I know X-2 was pretty much fan-service to bring in more fans. It's problems were mainly that boys felt embarrassed due to the visual style and general shoujo feel of it and girls felt embarrassed due to the echi pervertedness of it. What those people missed was an incredible active time battle system and a deeply open ended game. As I was playing the game, my lack of reflexes often left me trying to keep up and I ultimately have beaten the game a few times and have gotten the best ending as well. There were many ways to beat the game. You could go only to the required missions and beat it relatively quick, or sink as many hours as you want before beating each chapter. Having a sort of follow up to such a great game as X was also worth it. Even though Sin has been defeated, Spira is still warring with itself. New Yevon's plight of wanting to move at a slower pace is understandable, but they still haven't eliminated the corruption within their numbers. Likewise, the Youth League truly wants the truth, they want knowledge of the past. Their problem is that they act before thinking and complete hatred for New Yevon. Both sides came very close to massacring each other. If I had to side with somebody, it would be the Machine Faction. They want to unearth all of the technology they can find and spread it to make people's lives better. Overall, none of the groups are evil and when people complain of the general lightheartedness of X-2, they forget it is a side entry, not a main entry. Thinking of it as an expansion on the story also helps. Overall, it is a decent game that is way underrated and way to hated.
At first I didn't like XII, but I recently replayed it and I have grown a liking to it. Whereas the others have battle break up exploration, XII tried to insert it with it instead. Battles were as managed as you liked with the introduction of Gambits. There were simple ones like attacking the nearest or more complex ones like casting a spell on an ally with the reflect status effect. The idea is that you are effecting more subtle changes in strategy rather than controlling their actions directly (though you can still do that as well). Gambits were designed to take a bit of the repetition from gameplay to allow players convenience and also to allow them to observe the battle better. The story was much more political than others except those in the ivalice series. Out of all of the characters, the only one I didn't really like was Vaan because to me, he just didn't belong. On that same note, Penelope didn't really fit either, but she was more mature than Vaan as well. The villains weren't as two dimensional either. Cid felt it was time to put the reigns of power back into the hands of man or something like that. The Ocurians wanted Ashe to basically nuke Arcadia and tried to deceive her into doing it for revenge. The outcast was much better. Vayne bloodied his hands so his brother's would be clean. It was clear he was drunk on power and that he felt it was necessary to use such power to rule. He thought it was best, he didn't want to destroy the world. Overall, I feel that the game is really good and I would probably consider it my second favorite FF game.
REmake and RE0 are my favorite Resident Evil games. Re4 is good though. One thing I don't like as much is that the changes present in 4 take away some of the atmosphere. 5 completely rid itself of the elements that made RE popular and though I like it, it just isn't as good.
You make it sound like there is no good ps3 or 360 game. While it is definitely possible, you are referring to those that are like "GRAFIX!" then I understand, but if you are saying what it sounds like, then you are incorrect.

Seriously though, SMRPG is awesome

i spent many hours on all of them lol (except SMRPG d:< )
French Court Jester
True, but is it really overrated when they deserve it. *.* (lol sparkly eyes)
Death
well i believe this is for personal opinion. to me, i SEE them as overrated because to me they weren't that special. however because of their huge popularity, i can see why they are rated so high but still, i would say this rating is unnecessary as these games haven't introduced anything new.
French Court Jester
Thats cool nothing wrong with that. I can see where your coming from on the topic, just don't kill me if we don't see everything eye to eye k Death.
Cookie Thief
Exactly. Call of Duty. Sooooo over rated it hurts.
Also, what's up with this "next-gen" thing? How long have the consoles been out now? Isn't it just current gen? If we keep this up, what will the next gen be called? Next-Next-Gen?
Pixel Junkie
obviously, the legend of zelda. ugh, it plays like a top down mario, yet is revered by so many, and frankly i thought the entire game was terrible...worse yet, it somehow got confused as being an rpg...
Bulba~
Can't say I've ever heard of a Zelda game being referred to as an RPG, save for the second one, which had some minor RPG elements to it.
Welcome to Hyrule
You can't have played Zelda, or you haven't played mario. Only in a few Zelda games is there even any similarities. Even then, you are the first to say it is like mario, only in a top down perspective. Mario has his share of fans, but I doubt anyone cried out of joy when they saw a mario game as they did when they saw Skyward Sword. One major difference between the two is that Zelda is an action adventure with minor platforming while Mario is a platformer with varying degrees of combat and adventuring, though they take a backseat to the platforming. Then there are mario games with rpg elements like Paper Mario or SMRPG. The closest Zelda has to rpg elements is Zelda 2 a.k.a. the black sheep (outside of the cdi zelda games) If that is the zelda game you played, then your opinion is incomplete out of only playing the blacksheep. Other than that, I think you are not being completely truthful. Are you trolling?

You despicable bastard.
Seriously, I don't usually mind when people have opinions differing from mine, but...
You is a bad man.

HUH? I mean, I'm not much of a Zelda expert, but goddamn... At least Ocarina of Time was a masterpiece. I also liked the Gameboy games.
