I didn't get a birthday thread this year, and I didn't even post about it, it's not the end of the world.

Very happy to hear that, versus 13 was something I've been looking forward to. Did you guys know this game was announced back in 2006???? 6 years in a development, how nuts is that?

Congrats! I currently work from home doing DSL tech support for various ISP's around the US. Might be getting a paid internship at our county utilities for my degree though so that could change very soon . I'm 3 years into an IT degree

I hope that's the case, I've read a rumor that 15 is supposed to be an evolved ff12 battle system. Hope that one is debunked. EDIT: also my distaste for the series at this point does NOT stem from FF7, yes that's one of my favorite in the entire series, but I LOVE 4 5 and 6 as well. I haven't really been able to push myself to beat 1 2 and 3 as their stories were less intricate and the main characters were practically non existant (till 3). And Sereph as much as I usually agree with your rants for the most part, I really can't agree on 12, to each his own I guess. I have given that game more tries than pretty much any other game too, the battle system is actually not that bad but I hated when the game devolved to status effect city and me racing around menus trying to cure people of bullshit problems. I would also enjoy never seeing that become the staple battle system of the series, it was unique for 12 let's leave it that way.

I mean even square agreed their FF games are shit up to now. Anyways, they basically admitted that every ff past 7 hasn't lived up to the quality of the series before it, and that's something I can agree with. 9 was probably the closest they've gotten to living up to the standard and quality of the older games. everything went out the window as soon voice acting became a big thing. FFX removed the world map feature instead just slapping you into tubes of areas that you could run through which was pretty much the precurser to the straight forward run through that was ff13. Seems like there's always a sacrifice in a major part of what makes an FF game for graphics, audio, or cool little features.

12 was a pile of shit, it was an autopilot mmo hybrid that no matter how many times I forced myself to play through it, I just couldn't stomach the game. I got to some poison dragon who's tactic was to spam status effects on your whole party 24/7, and then realized the rest of hte game was just going to be me fighting status effects the whole time and gave up on that shit.

what is wrong with you O.o, I hope you're joking.

lol I'm going to throw more salt on the wound, http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/square-enix-no-final-fantasy-vii-hd-remake-until-weve-made-a-game-better-than-final-fantasy-vii/ so square pretty much admits all the games past 7 have been complete shit, and until they fix that, they're holding 7's remake hostage. WTF, this game would generate millions of dollars, and probably sell entire consoles.

I thought this was going to be a bust but I actually enjoyed watching the first one, I'll probably go through them later on, I like that you actually included footage of each game you're talking about.

I just snagged htis game for 360, it's been gaining a huge cult following, similar to dark souls and demon souls so I took the bait. so far I'm really enjoying this game, it's seriously unpolished but I can forgive that for excellent gameplay and some really kickass things happening.

I'd probably still rock winamp if I didn't have an iphone. So now I try to clean up my library in Itunes most of the time.

Someone make it so that we can like posts on forums, just like on facebook.

You mean Street fighter X tekken? Meh game isn't that good anyways. They learned their lesson, consumers catch the problem and they admit it was stupid, slap on the wrist let them go. At least they still have yet to go down the online pass route where every new copy comes with a code to take the game online like EA fucking does.

I keep hearing mixed things about it, some things about it are really cool and some are just strange. I honestly am waiting for the pc version of dark souls to get put out on steam though, I am a sucker for masochistic slaughterfests with cool weapons and armor and a solid stat system EDIT: also I really don't understand all the capcom hate, they're still a solid company with a good set of game engines that run fluidly on both pc and console. Their IP's are for the most part excellent and I've always loved their style. Sure megaman has been pretty much put to pasture at this point and that's a bit disappointing but I'm not gonna sit here and hate the whole company for it.

Hb Good Ol Scooter!

Yeah nintendo did NOT bring the fire. I'm not impressed so far. They pulling hte same stunt they did when they first announced the wii. Where the fuck are the heavy hitters??? Zelda and smash are a no show, it's just wrong...

The sony show was definitely a good show. They pretty much hand picked exactly what I wanted for the psp vita with that assassin's creed bundle, wifi only vita with the game and a 4 gig memory stick..YES PLZ. The last of us looks very intense, I'm interested. So far this E3 has been pretty good, nothing mind blowing, but very good stuff.

Watch dogs looked really neat, I'm interested to learn more about it. What I'm most excited about though is Assassin's creed 3, holy shit the engine upgrade is HUGE. The new assassin can kill very quick now. I'm most excited about the change of scenery in this one, no more city killing, now we're going to enjoy some wilderness killing in America. I cannot wait for that game.

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/04/devil-may-cry-lost-planet-3-media-come-into-view/ capcom snuck in some trailers when it showed off RE 6. The new DMC trailer actually looks pretty good O.o, I'm hoping the combat can live up to and transcend that of the previous games.

Yeah overall Microsoft really didn't bring their A game this year. I have a feeling sony will steal the show again, which isn't a bad thing. EDIT: I will say, I'm actually kind of excited about halo 4 now that they're going to add new enemies and weapons and locale to the series, I really did think last year it was just going to be another fucking covenant shoot fest like before, but they seem to be taking it into new directions.

Ok, the resident evil 6 gameplay trailer looked fantastic, the new engine they're running the game on looks like a lot of fun.

Yeah this was another feature circle jerk for microsoft. They showed like...8 games, and then went on to stroke the kinect again, at least it wasn't a waggle fest like last time. I am actually a bit interested in this smart glass connectivity, I'll have to see how responsive it actually is in action though. EDIT: they should just call the new tomb raider, tomb raider: Laura's worst fucking day.

Well SSB won't be a graphical masterpiece, since it has to match the 3DS version, they said the 2 will be able to connect to each other. It will look much better than brawl at least lol. Microsoft starts in 5 minutes, if it's another fucking kinectfest, I'm going to laugh my ass off.

I'm really hoping the actual games showcase of hte wii U will do something to blow my fucking socks off, at the moment, I'm still not buying into the hype. My wii is probably my least played console of any console I've had the pleasure of owning, good games are few and far between on that system. And once again nintendo intends on releasing this new system right when msoft and sony are probably about to drop the next gen announcement deuce on people either this show or the next e3 coming up, which will once again put nintendo graphically behind.

I don't even read reviews for the score, I go through and pick out what hte complaints were, base it off what I really think the game would operate and then make a decision based off that.
