Hey Shouta..did you ever play the International version of FFX2? I got it last Christmas but have no idea how to play that new uh..dungeon..thing game thing.

Don't make me hurt you Doug. I swear I'll grab the latest magical girl anime series I can find and force you to watch the entire thing until your mind rots and you become a lolicon.

Bran: Felt like using a different name for awhile. It was always to see if anyone realized I had changed names. I'm probably going to go back to my usual nick soon (or whenever I get another good Gotoh avatar).

Magna Carta (PS2, Banpresto): 9 / 7 / 8 / 8 - (32/40)

Anyways, I like the artwork too ^_^

No way.

I could be drugged into thinking that Nintendogs is a 40/40, but I refuse to believe that Japanese folks are retarded enough to give this gaming garbage greater than a 10. It has no redeemable qualities, at all.

You guys are really getting me pumped for this game! Keep those positive impressions coming! Huge Nipples! WOO

*prepares to kiss $50 goodbye*

I seriously hope there's at least $15 worth of fun in this title. $10 maybe? :(

Seems to be a total love/hate thing, I've seen totally mixed reviews. I'm going to try to pop this in today if I have time out of curiosity now.

The most I plan on doing is popping it in to see how it plays, then promptly putting it on the shelf until I complete DQVIII. This was my plan all along, it's just that I was hoping for a fairly interesting RPG waiting for me after I finished.

Oh well, I paid the money so I'll definitely give it a go. If the hate is too strong eBay is there for me.

No, Triumph it was worse than FFX-2

it was

Yugioh: Nightmare Troubadour

for the

Nintendo DS

It was awful and I promptly returned it. I swear, I have some truly odd fits when bored at GameCrazy.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ... *sniff*

It's okay, I bough Xenosaga and Xenosaga 2 and put a total of about 5 hours into them combined, BUT I DID TRADE THEM IN FOR A COPY OF CULDCEPT TO REDEEM MYSELF FTW!

I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole, but I'm glad you give the thumbs up on Romancing Saga and Suikoden Tactics because I'm picking them up today.

This requires a high-res picture of the box, angled to properly show off the embossing.

I can't believe it features areolae you can FEEL.

I feel bad for this girly boy, he's always being overshadowed by her lead character counterpart.

It seems like I'm her only fan since I'm the only one that brings him up whenever Magna Carta is brought to question.

Ah well, when this hits under 20 bucks, I'll think about picking it up. Though is it woth the embarrassment? Maybe the PSP version ... then?

ugh, the hips!

Who the hell is this artist, he should be tarred and feathered for his complete botchery of the human anatomy.

EDIT: I'm still having a hard time believing that Drinky brought this by accident. I mean, come on, didn't he catch the threads I made about the main characters dubious gender? :D

FFVI has no cons aside from Shadow's sissy name.

:lol

I had a straight face typing that, though.

The fact that anyone can learn any and all magic spells and magic attacks is a big farking con if you ask me. Almost as bad as the babbling move slots that are FFVII and FFVIII characters.

Even more annoying is the fact that there's a stupid "charging" animation that lasts like 3-5 seconds before any attack, party or enemy. It drags out already slow battles unnecessarily. I can't tell if it's to mask the spooling of animation data from the CD or if it's a cruel joke by evil Korean developers to make the stupid white man hate his life.
Click to expand...
the color of the charging reflects what element the attacks are using. they could have done something WAY BETTER AND LESS TEDIOUS but they didn't. how unusual for this game!

i guess i can talk about this one now that it's out. it's meh.

Man, I swore I told you to keep away from this game Doug. Didn't I tell you over the phone not to get this game?

I pre-bought ONE DAY BEFORE, jerkface! I read Travis' impressions, caught the typical "OMG Atlus game out of print in two months, what if it rocks and I don't have it" paranoia bug, and slapped down the cash.

You hateful, hateful man!

If this were a trial, it would be for first degree bad game buying, not third. Don't even think about a manslaughter verdict. This was cold, premeditated, calculated capitalism.

If it makes you feel any better, it's actually preferable if it flops and sells 50 copies only to see its value spiral into the stratosphere when the vastly improved sequel hits.

I don't own the game any more -- I preyed on the Atlus print run paranoia of a clerk at the local Gamecrazy and got $40 for it (instead of the $28 they wanted for trade-in), and I consider myself very lucky.

I'm not getting an Xbox 360 at launch, largely because there's no "must have" games for it. I'm getting one in February/March roundabout the time Oblivion hits, though. I bought a 360 controller for my PC though, and I gotta say it kicks ass!

Ahahaha, I knew this game was going to be bad the moment I saw a massive hands on preview for Magna Cart in Play glowingly written up by ol' Dave 'Crackhead' Halverson.

Drinky... any suggestions for overcoming the Atlus print run paranoia (love how you put that!)...? I tend to get this from time to time as I'm sure many other RPG fans do...

haha, obviously I *don't* or I wouldn't have succumbed to it. :(

I actually considered picking up a used copy of Rhapsody at some obscene price recently, despite the game being a total stinker. I know White Man did too, so he can NOT give me grief about it.
