Agreed. That group of unnamed, unidentified journalists sure are a bunch of hacks.

Also, you should really read the next paragraph after he says that.

Games "journalism" is a misnomer.

Dragon Age 2 is an exercise in wasted potential and squandered credibility. Everything about it screams "Rush Job".

EA tried to make Dragon Age into a yearly franchise kinda thing, and DA2 is the result...

My game-pad is a 360 controller. :suicide:

I plugged mine in and it worked without having to do anything, don't know what to tell you.

Actually, after googling it, it seems like a fairly common problem, and some people are saying: unplug the controller or the wireless dongle, uninstall the drivers, then plug it back in (and it should install itself again), and then it works (maybe).

As lead designer and musician at Tales of Game's, I can promise you that Barkley 2 will be just as, if not more mediocre than the original.

Good luck to you guys. I'm not exaggerating when I say the first game had one of the best battle systems in a rpg I've played, and was a great game aside from being really funny. Semper Games.

I thought there was a Banner Saga thread but I couldn't find it, so I'll ask here: anyone else tried it? They released a free multiplayer beta and I'm now really looking forward to the single player game. Really like the art style.

Speaking of Ys, another Falcom action rpg is almost translated: Zwei 2 http://bofgames.com/projects/zwei-2/

Apparently it was supposed to be done in March but the translator was in a plane accident (related to turbulence so probably head or back injury), and now the coder is waiting on replacement parts for his PC but hopefully sometime this month it'll be available.

I don't know why anyone would like persona 3 or 4. they're some of the most unbearably slow and boring games i've ever encountered with less interesting dungeons than those featured in ascii roguelikes. the combat requires more preparation than most jrpgs but the 'hard' bosses just wind up taking a ridiculously long time to defeat. these segments are separated by discussions with your boring, archetypal anime friends. the snes SMT games had this weird, kind of creepy occult feeling and persona 3 and 4 are missing even that. I just don't get it!!

Because you're stupid. I have two degrees.

So I just got a PS3 and with all the great games I'm looking to pick up, I gotta ask - what's so awful about Star Ocean 4? I love the series so I'm really loath to skip any installment.

every aspect of the story and characters:

Ah, are emus legal if you have a PS2? I've got one sitting in the living room but modding a PS2 is :effort: and I'd rather not break the law over an 8 year old game.

This is adorable.

Violence is okay but sexuality isn't. Children being horrifically murdered? A-okay! People want more of that in video games. But have one girl who looks a little young peck a character on the lips accidentally and suddenly it's "creepy."

Personally, I don't get fussed over either since it's fiction. But a lot of people hold this bizarre double-standard.

Spoken like someone who has never touched another human being.
