I mean... if I pay that much and I only play it once.... I feel like I wasted so much money.
idk, I paid 20 or 30 dollars for Dark Souls and have spent hundred of hours playing it. It's not for everyone, but I found the experience to be extremely rewarding.
These fine tuned AAA games like AC3, Halo4, RE6, skyrim... they are good games but I don't spend that much time playing them. I get bored...
I don't like getting bored playing a game :\ I don't think it's okay to get bored when I spent 60 dollars to get it.

Gotta also realize 60 dollars US =/= 90 in Sweden's currency (sorry idk what it is Drac), so that figure he gave you might not be as steep a price tag as you might first guess.

Though I would agree if they are equal to about 90 US, then fuuuuuuuuck that lol

I want to get a hack and slash game so I can beat stuff up.
Darksiders II was fun for me, want to slash stuff up .-.
oh right, games cost money. I'll just watch a playthrough of one for free on youtube then :(
I've been giving the upcoming Devil May Cry the stink-eye. I loved the first one for PS2, but haven't kept up with any of the other games much -- can't help but imagine that it's stayed true to the hack-slash-fest genre though. @___@

I personally think it's mainly because of online play now.
They put so much into online features that the story goes down the drain.
I haven't played previous halo games, but the story was super short in 4. I haven't played a game that short in a long long time. Then you start looking into online play and it's obvious that they put most of their effort into it.

RE6 was a birthday present (<3), so I can't complain about the cost. I haven't even beaten(as in completed all the story lines) it yet, but I've enjoyed what I have played. My sister and I have a lot of fun running around on Merc mode. Everyone has their thing though. :x

I was wondering why everyone was giving DMC so much hate so I started to watch a playthrough of it on yotuube and it looks really fun. To me the story is interesting, the main character isn't that bad, and the combat seems great so far. I like the combo system and that you have different weapons to choose from like Darksiders II (actually the mechanics are basically the same as well as some of the moves like the scythe).
I think it would be a cool game to play, but again I don't know anything about DMC before this game so I'd understand if they completely ruined it for the loyal fans.

They butchered Dante's hair. That's why I'm hating on it!

Up to the 2nd to last fight in WotG!!!! Been soloing the whole story since mission 8 and having a blast. Hopefully I can finish the story tomorrow and get my earring :D. Time for some sleep. Take care everybody.

I tried the demo of DmC, I don't hate the reboot, there are actually a few pretty interesting things about it,
though like everyone else, I still prefer the older version for some reason or another. (demo even made me wanna pop in my DMC4 disc and play it again lol)

The hate is more-so the fact that they made the main character some kid that looks nothing like their God that which was Dante. Oh, and apparently the battle music has drifted off into some sort of weird type of metal, instead of the intense chaotic fighting music that was in its predecessors.
Don't get me wrong though, the music is pretty decent. Example:

It's like the developers are laughing at all the people hating on it :x

I'm not a retard, I converted to dollars. Collector's editions go for over 100 dollars easily.

Also, I think if you beat DMC on the hardest mode (you have 1 HP and enemies have normal HP) you get the old Dante character model to play with.
Not sure though <.> just what I read in a comment.

When he goes into demon mode or w/e he looks crazy cool .-. think its even white hair as well.
but yea, DMC and Darksiders II are so alike, and I loved DS II. I might pick it up just to play because of that.

Games for a system that isn't region locked can be imported though. I pay 67 dollars for games from Canada and get them within a few days and that's with shipping. Save a lot of money that way.

If you want to get a true feeling of why people feel the way they do with DmC, you'd need to go back to its roots and play from the beginning, Kal.
And tbh, you'll probably have a blast playing it, it's truly a fun series to play. Intense hack-and-slash is underestimating it, it can go beyond that!

I might look at playthroughs of them though just to know the story, but if I do pick up DMC I wand to keep an open mind and not have expectations of what it should be like and why it's wrong.
I wish I could say that about FF games >.>; I judge them so unfairly now

I at least gave 13 a shot and I had been excited for it (but I didn't read or watch too much about it so I wouldn't expect too much) but it was just blah to me :/ I should look at it like it's not an FF and judge it based on itself but I just can't these days >.>

It's really just an excuse to share a couple things like moogles and the summons between them.

Yeah but they all kinda gave me the same feeling when playing them and 13 just didn't do that.

Good day ladies and gentlemen.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
