Mmmmm, I kinda figure that the metacritic averages must say something about it. I mean, when you have 6 entries in a row (FF6-FF12, skipping FF11) that get 90+ on metacritic and then it drops to 83 or whatever it is, there must be a problem.
As for the story being nonsense. Well the FF8 story...
I'm still considering it. Might end up waiting for Christmas.
I haven't played since the N64 original! Which I did love. But I don't have many equal-minded people around me most of the time so I'm usually sticking with single player. Which kinda removes the main draw of games like Smash Bros...
Mmmmm, I share your sadism actually. For me, it depends on how it's handled. Some things just genuinely depress me and I want to turn away. But some seem to have a paradoxically positive effect on me. The Walking Dead game and TV series is great at this.
Gamewise, I'd say either Final Fantasy...
I'm one of the few people who are genuinely excited about this. I only played about 1 hour on the Xbox and never had the chance to continue.
Lets see if it's as bad as they all say.
Only 1 of those variables actually affects how easy it is for you to buy it!
I didn't actually know Amazon COULD sell-out of something new. Don't they have like a tunnel connecting directly to the Nintendo warehouse?
Just about to buy a Vita so I can answer a slightly different question.
The first games I'll be buying are:
-FFX/X-2 remaster (am I the only one who feels like it'd be worth more without the X-2?)
-Metal Gear Solid 2&3
-Walking Dead Season 1
-Ys Celceta
-Lots of awesome indies!
