    ...but no, I loved the game. The battle system was Bad *kitten* imo. It was beautiful and had some of the best physics I have ever seen in a game. I really loved all the characters and it had one of the best endings to a game EVAR. I myself didn't mind at all that it was linear most the way through because I kind of like being pulled through a story at the creators pace. The only thing that bothered me about it was the over complicated menu systems.....but that's the Japanese for you, for some reason they seem to love doing things the hard way like that.

    The graphics are great, but thats the only thing i liked about it. As for physics, im not sure if a FF game has much to do with that, so what did you mean? Cause physics wise, Red Dead is best at that for sure lol. All the things you love about XIII seems to be what I love about XII lol

    What do you mean what do I mean? hahaha I mean the game physics. The movement of the hair and clothing. Also the expressions of the lips and eyes and the movement of their body......it was perfection.

    ...I guess we are equal though because I felt that Red Dead was waaaaaay overrated.

    @123456654321: GASP how dare you say that about red dead lol. But the eye and facial movements are more in line with graphics then physics, however the hair is part of physics. In a game physics generally mean what happens when things like characters falling down or reacting to the outside stimuli. Like in gta for example, if a pedestrian gets run over. Physics can be preanimated or Freeform, so thats why I was confused lol. Red Dead and Gta have about the most impressive freeform physics ive ever seen, while I believe most of FFs is preanimated

    PC RPG's forever :smile: Waiting for Skyrim to arrive, love bethesda's games. Not entirely sure I've actually finished one... but clocked hundreds of hours in morrowind & oblivion hehe.

    Bioware are also huge favourites of mine, looking forward to seeing SWTOR when it finally arrives!

    Oh, occasionally strategy games if I'm in the mood for building huge civilisations (thanks for stealing hours of my life Sid Meier). Someone also mentioned the heroes of might & magic - great fun & nice universe.

    I get what your saying. I was talking more about the moment of the clothing and stuff. I just threw in the animation stuff too because I forgot to add that above. I've seen some awesome graphics with really crappy face animation. This game had good both.

    ...back to the physics though. I just remember being captivated by the movement of their clothing and lightnings cape flowing. Even her the way her holster moved was so natural. I don't know why I noticed it so much....but it just really impressed me.

    and yeah, I get a lot of crap about Red Dead. I just didn't think it was AS great as it was hyped up to be *shrug* ...to each their own I suppose!

    I will agree that FFXIII Had very beautiful graphics, there is no denying that, but you cant deny the same about Red Dead lol

    Back in college, we'd turn out the lights, cover the windows, and play SH/SH2 with the music up. Spookiest games I've ever played.

    Also, the original Resident Evil when the dogs bust through the window...almost pissed myself!

    And on the PC, 7th Guest and it's sequel the 11th Hour were both pretty creepy (puzzle games).

    Silent Hill 2 is SERIOUSLY creepy. I was creeped out a lot playing Dead Space because of the camera angle, monsters & and the environment (not so much Dead Space 2 for some reason, I've only jumped a couple of times), Bioshock is a little creepy until you get used to it, hehe :3

    I remember how many resident evil crap yourself situations happened, it made you cautious walking through anywhere lol it was great. Like in RE2 one time in the police station interrogation room i passed a one way mirror thing, when i was gonna exit the room a dam licker breaks through it. And resident evil 3? Nemesis would fricking pop out of EVERYWHERE!!!

    hahaha No, the game looked great. I suppose I'm not quick to be impressed with graphics though. I blame Uncharted for that. DAMN YOU NAUGHTY DOG RAISING THE BAR SO HIGH!!!! lol But no, that game has seriously spoiled me.

    I think maybe Read Dead just didn't have the fun factor for me (which is weird because I love cowboys and the old west) .... It could have been my mood at the time, but I just didn't get that into it. I by no means am saying the game was crap by any means, I just felt it was overrated. I will admit though, I'm quite picky... I generally won't bother to put the time into a game if I don't have a blast playing it. I see a lot of people love Dead Space. I see why people like it, and I had fun with it for a while....but then it just got too repetitive. It was just too much of the same thing without having to really think about it. Even the scary aspect wore off pretty fast for me and I ended up getting bored with it.

    So yeah, it's probably me being picky more then anything else. xD

    Maybe since you love cowboys you should one day give it another go, though if you find dead space repetitive then youd prolly find red dead to be as well lol. I can relate though, something being overrated generally turns me off a game. But the thing is i love Rockstar so i usually follow their news and had been looking at updates for red dead a while before it was out. But i know what youre saying because I find things like CoD and Halo to be massively overrated and it just makes me like the game less itself

    OOO I <3 the RE games...too bad I wasn't so impressed with 5 though T_T

    Did you hear they are redoing RE4 and Code Veronica? Both of those were awesome and super creepy! I remember Code Veronica being really twisted. I had nightmares from both games actually.

    YEEEESSSSS!!! I cannot wait to download RE4 on xbox. I loved it, as for code veronica, i always wanted to play it but never got the chance, so i look forward to that too. I liked 5 because i had fun playing the coop with my girlfriend, though you are right, it didnt hold up to the earlier games. Coop was neat but i hope they dont make it a habit of needing to put that in all their games.

    I couldn't agree more. I think co-op is fun, but when developers feel the need to jump on these trends they tend to slack on other parts of the game...probably due to money, space, time...etc... When I really like a series I just assume they keep perfecting what they do best instead of jump on bandwagons "just because." Of course, if it's possible to do without sacrificing from anywhere else, then by all means.....have at it! As far as co-op goes, not all games need it. Some games are better off being a single player experience imo.

    Uncharted is an awesome single player experience...no need for co-op there!

    I thank the gaming gods that they left mass effect single player, yes it has coop potential, but that wouldve taken away from the experience it already is. And god forbid they make a competitive multiplayer lol. But yes mass effect 3 will be pure single and that makes me happy!
