Ever since the beginning they have changed their level up system, improved the graphics, grown bigger (and more annoying) story lines.

The battle system though? what the HELL have they done to that? they added that little berserk bar thingy. added stupid little extra magic equipment that only lasts one game. BORING.

FF tactics is ok. I didn't really beat it, I couldn't get over the damn FF side of it, and there are plenty of tactical style RPGs out there for me to play.

I'll have to admit something, no matter how pathetic it may sound... but I am like that total opposite of the person who clings to band wagons. Which is just as bad.

When I see a band wagon coming through town filled with Halo lovers and Titanic fans I immediatly jump ship and instantly gain a slight bias for the game. Not sure why, it just up sets me knowing that these 'big games' get so much love an adoration for some meager thing they've done which has already been done.

Final Fantasy is not the first RPG

Stephen Spielberg is a half wit bang bang pretty lights director with no soul what so ever to his films
same with James Cameron
and that fucking retard lucas who thinks hes so special because he made Star Wars... ok buddy... have done anything else since!? what was that? Indiana Jones, dude you didn't direct it... oh wait, you didn't direct but 1 Star Wars! fuck you and your fucking THX!

Stephen King is not an author... he writes toilet bowl material... you know the shit you pick up and read when you're a little constipated. Fuck you and your stupid Dog too...

Zelda is not the be all own all of action RPGs! Zelda is the same formula regurgitated over and over at you to keep the masses happy, because for some bizarre reason if Nintendo tampered with the fans precious Link they'd flip their fucking lids. Fuck you fans and your idealistic opinions about consistency... I want innovation, you want stagnant waters of pure dog shit!

The next time I here some say; "anna nicole smith did not over dose, she was over prescribed medication." I am going to sick, taking to much pills for whatever reason is still a fucking overdose! BY DEFINITION! Fuck you and your disgust for symantics, its our language, deal with it!

If some deusch bag wearing, monkey fucking, retard of a 'sexy movie star' tells me one more time, "if you're anything like me, then you can do this to save the planet!" Fuck you, I am not like you, I don't own a Gucci bag, or wear 2000 dollar suits. I don't have a 2 acre HOUSE or 5 mercedes benz's out front. I don't order 12 of the same cadillac deville's in 12 different colours just because I can... FUCK YOU!

(true story, when I drove tractor trailer, my buddy Kevin and I delivered 12 cadi's to Rap star Master P... of which there was no discernable difference besides the colour of the paint job and interior)

Sony does not make quality products, Sony does not rule like no other, Sony does not like you as a customer, but as a source of income. Sony is a vial corporation that puts out proprietary dog shit that will never be able to actually stand it's own with out the marketing hype that comes with it. Sony will eat your fucking soul. If I am told one more time that Sony is amazing because of their games, I'll say no Konami is awesome because of their games, Sony sucks because I can't play Konami's games unless I own a fucking playstation triple whatsa ma hoozit... fuck you Sony, and fuck your beta tapes, mini discs, UMDs, Blu-Ray and other proprietary bullshit crap filled with inflated licensing fees to artificially inflate the market to fight against the pirating craze which was created in conjunction as a battle against your inherint ability to suck loads of shit and shaft the public.

and too you anti-racist, politically correct, verbal tampon wearing, minority jockey mother fuckers tell me one more time I am the racist because I'm a 'rich little white boy'... I'll show you rich you fag hating fuck wads. I'm the rich racist am I? Well lets look at the rich side... I GREW UP ON WELFARE!!!! And racist... RACIST! Check this: at work one time a few 'minorities' were having a conversation about some nonsense. A kid in the office chimes in with a comment and the retort is, "Shut up white boy, it's minority conversation time!"

back story: in my office everyone is convinced I am a homosexual despite any proof of it and the numerous girlfriends of mine they have meet. Whatever, I stop bothering with the subject all together, what do I care if they think I'm Gay, this way if they piss me off all I have to do is rest my hand on their shoulder and they get scared!

continued: So I turn and chime in with, "Then that means I can join in on the merriment as I too am a homosexual minority."

retort: "No you're not, fags aren't minorities. Shut up."

Excuse me!? If we are going to have racial wars of this sort, piss off and accept the rules that have been laid down. Or ignore them all together. Fuck you, I hate you, not because your black or hispanic, but because you pissed me off. You yell racist, I yell fucking moron.



Oh yeah, and fuck the horse you rode in on... fuck it up Pigface.

I absolutely despised the Gran Turismo series. I didn't have the patience for that "driving simulator" crap. Super long races that consume an hour or more do not appeal to me.

Lordofduct: Hmm. Too much drugs? Or not enough drugs? :)

I never saw the appeal of Dynasty Warriors and games like it. X X X. X X O. X X X. Repeat. How is that fun?

Ditto on Gran Turismo. I can appreciate that they are very well-made games and I can understand why someone would like it, but I don't. Give me Outrun. Give me Burnout.

i totally agree on the GT sentiments. the only thing close to a simulator that i like is project gotham 2 (haven't played 3).

i totally disagree with lumping stephen spielberg in with george lucas and james cameron. spielberg is a big time director and has done a lot of terrible, terrible movies (A.I. anyone?), but i personally loved Saving Private Ryan, War of the Worlds, etc.

I lump Cameron and Spielberg together as they spread their abilities across several genres of film, but started around the same genre of film making (action, sci-fi) of which several films have received several awards.

Lucas is a little seperate though... I just had to say Lucas. So I put it in.


and surprisingly I some what enjoy A.I., not for the movie, but for the story. It could have been done a lot better though, it really felt like Spielberg was trying to be like Kubrick in it... and well Spielberg doesn't do enough drugs, nor is psychotic enough to emulate Kubrick. Not saying Kubrick is some unmatchable genius, no he is an unmatchable mad man who didn't even get what the hell he was doing (check interviews of him, he was once asked what the ending scene in 2001 meant... his answer was that he had forgotten any reasoning of why he had done that part of the film the way he had.)

well about the A.I. thing, you have to remember kubrick directed most the movie and spielberg only came in to do the last part of the movie (the part that made it suck imo)
