@TheManiacsGnome: Shoot! I quit at waiting for credits, then. I feel like I was having a whole conversation during the credits via the Steam overlay and I still couldn't take it anymore after the third repeat track.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Edward Norton played John Mcafee. HEY-YOOOOOO!

If there was a comment that deserved a rim shot in this thread it'd be this. Well done!

what's his intrigue stat? is he an intricate webweaver or just an underhanded rogue?

I knew this was coming up eventually! I'd say his intrigue is somewhere like a 10. He kinda got caught but at least he didn't get killed (yet)?

Also I'd call him a Flamboyant Schemer. THAT LACK OF SECRECY YO!

This entire story is going to make for one bizarre-as-fuck movie.

Heck I'd watch it.

This is pretty crazy, though -- I can't believe this is real.

@Roger778: Far Cry 3's credit scene was just as bad

That wasn't looping? The moment I noticed repeated tracks I thought that and stopped it! They can't just repeat tracks for the credits like that!

But seriously though, @YI_Orange does mention some really good tracks. I especially liked how they switched the track for school to "Changing Seasons" and thought that was an especially nice, atmospheric touch. I also kinda think it perfectly fit where the story was at that point. There's even some French in that track!

I do agree that one would be able to tell that the gameplay was "older" than Persona 4 i.e. me getting really frustrated at Mitsuru's AI casting Marin Karin at bad times.

The story is perfectly worth it, though. I was really moved by the end. With the right social links maxed and with FES it's doubly enjoyable before the grand finale, which is especially bittersweet.

Yeah I don't think consoles are in any trouble. Even though PC may always be at the cutting edge, there will always be people out there who would not prefer the complexity(?) of PC gaming or simply prefer the console experience.

Heck, I still even buy a next generation console to so I can media server it up (and for the games, of course). My PS3 does a great job playing anything I throw at it now, even 1080p .mkv files, surprisingly. A much better solution than going downstairs with my laptop to watch stuff.

You've got a point but even arguing the complexity bit nowdays is a hard argument to make when steam automatically patches everything. Back in the days where you had to manually hunt and download patches things could get a bit dicy but nowdays its so easy to game on PC outside of the few old games that you have to jump through hoops to get running on Win7.

That's also true; considering where we are today compared with a decade ago it is definitely a whole lot easier to game on PC, hence I put a question mark after complexity: the actual complexity really varies depending on the person and their prior experience with PCs. While we might remember the days when Steam didn't exist and there were a whole bunch of issues with compatibility with specs, drivers, and patching that Steam takes care nowadays there are still probably some people who are really young and really old who wouldn't take advantage of that. Especially with newer games when the specs are little more demanding and most people would've either had to upgrade or dish out a lot of bucks for a new computer altogether, getting the console version would be much simpler alternative for them since they wouldn't have to be mindful about that kind of stuff.

@Kingfalcon: It's become pretty legit. Probably the best English anime streaming service available right now.

It even does simulcast steaming of anime series (in 1080p, too!) that are new in Japan, too, so they've come a pretty long way.

I voted "Yes" because every week of Giant Bomb is the best week of Giant Bomb ever!

I've never seen spice and wolf (I've always wanted to)

You should watch Spice and Worlf!

Thanks for the shoutout, though! If you actually end up watching Girls und Panzer, I hope you end up enjoying it, or I'll feel bad for getting you to watch it! Also, yeah, they should've either went straight-German with the title instead of the really awkward English they had. It's pretty much as awkward as when Japanese songs have some broken English in them.
