I've been playing FF13, and so far its great. Only thing I don't like is how fast your party leader moves outside of combat. It gets a little confusing and throws the camera angle off sometimes. Combat is awesome, I like how they brought back a redux version of the sphere grid from FF10. To say the least I'm excited to see where the storyline goes.

They brought back the sphere grid? Some good news at least.

So, is the game as linear as everyone says?

Did anyone here own a Sega Saturn back when it was still new? What do you think of it? I ask because I have been considering getting one some time but it seems like more than half the games available for the system were only released in japan which is a bummer. It's no wonder the system failed miserably in the US considering we never had access to some of the better games. I've always been intrigued by the Saturn because I never owned one in its heyday but I did have both a N64 and a Playstation.

linear dosent mean bad lone.

theres been plenty of sub-par games that were completely free (oblivion is just one of them)

Stalker: shadow of Chernobyl.
Sounds bad, but it's actually really quite fun. A bit of realism mixed in too. A bit, I said.

I played FF13 for ten minutes. As I was playing I jammed a knife in the palm of my hand. I did this so I'd remember the pain the next time I thought about playing it... The unnecessarily loud footsteps still haunt my dreams.

Genura, you had to do it, I can't stop focusing on the footsteps now. It sounds like the Foley Artists used a couple of hollowed out coconut shells, and a marble surface for the footsteps. It sounds more like horses walking down a wooden street with iron shoes on, then little lightweight fantasy characters running over ice or rock.
Oh well, other then that, I'm really having a good time with this game.

And Cultist, I just hit chapter five,bitch.

Monty Python did the sound effects for the foot steps. You're really riding a horse.

and now back to play

um I recently beat MGS4,I want to get Demon souls, Just Cause 2, and maybe FF13. I have been playing the Just Cause 2 demo its great.
