    I used to like the idea of popping in a spanking new JRPG that I don't know anything about, but this generation I've been burned onetimetoomany. Now I only buy JRPGs I know I'm going to like, which means I'll be picking up Tales of Graces, but not Arc Rise Fantasia. "
    I can say I at least like 1/4 of those games, hell one of my favorite games of all time really :P. But I am quite the opposite when it comes to getting "burned". I don't mind it at all since it doesn't take much to satisfy me when it comes to a game. I go into games (any genre, mind you) with realistic expectations and veryveryrarely does a game completely bum me out by not living up to what I would consider an average experience. It makesthetimes I do get blown away all the better really.  
     
    Guess I am just not that picky though when it comes to games, can't expect everything to be the best stuff ever and if it is at least decent I consider my money well spent. I think gamers in general nowadays nitpick to much and if it isn't a 5/5 experience it wasn't even worth the money, bleh.

    Games are expensive, man. When we're talking $20 or lower I can afford to take risks and don't really mind getting burned, but I bought two of those games at significantly higher prices. I can't afford to take any chances with $40-$60 games -- when something costs that much, I have to be at least somewhat confident that I'm getting a quality product. 
     
    Oh, and I'm guessing the game you like is Valkyrie Profile? I actually enjoyed the little a played a lot, I just couldn't stand the period system. I hate time limits with a passion and when an entire game is based around a time limit(technically it's not a time limit, but you get the idea)... well, yeah.

    @Icemael: Crisis Core actually :P. 
     
    Anyhow, yeah I can relate to the expensive thing (I mean hell, I don't even have a job currently) but I generally don't buy things right when they come out unless I really want them which while it sucks has its obvious advantages. Especially in todays age where stuff drops down in price sometimes weeks after launch... But yeah I know much of a risk it can be. I kinda regret paying full price for MW2 at this point (I like it and all but not playing it as much as I figured I would).

    I predict people who don't even own a Wii will continue complaining that other people who aren't like them at all are having fun.

    I also predict the silver medal racers will continue ignoring the fact that PC versions of multiconsole games look leaps and bounds better than the version they're playing, then they'll bitch about the Wii's inferior graphics with no sense of irony.

    Notice that 3/4 of those games were made by Square Enix?  Ever since the merger, they just lost the ball.

    To be fair, Valkyrie Profile was made before the merger(the PSP version is just a port), and it's not a bad game. If it wasn't for my burning hatred for time limits, I would probably have loved it.

    And to be fair, it is still published by Square Enix.  It doesn't matter if it is a port.  They always know how to make a good thing sour.  Enix knew where to find great games to publish, but couldn't make great game.  Squaresoft use to make great game, but published shitty ones from outside sources.  Somehow, they combined the shittyness of both companies instead of their strengths.

    It was made by Tri Ace, who almost exclusively have their games published by Enix.

    Not really, it is practically an extension of Square Enix at this point.  In fact the only game that isn't being published by Square Enix is Resonance of Fate, which is being published by Sega.  There is a reason why Tri Ace is jumping ship from Square Enix, their long time partner, to Sega.  Square Enix sucks.

    For me I thik this could be a good Wii year, better than 2009. I expect to pick up Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M, and I have my fingers crossed that E3 will showcase a new Zelda for late 2010 (longshot) or 2011. We might even find out what the hell the pulse sensor is for. I still want to get Silent Hill: Shattered memories as well (it seemed to blow Brad's mind pretty good.)

    The same goes for every system.  Do you honestly think most of the games on the 360 or PS3 are actually worth playing?

    That WPIX yule log is fucking evil.  It comes without a real yule log.  The weather channel is a made the second least interesting for the day thanks to that Yule Log.  It is as bad as switching the channel because of an advertisement.

    I have about 73 games for my Wii that I am happy with.  No amount of Shovelware will deter me from pleasure.  You're just a pussy.  You can't handle owning a Wii without compromising your image.  Let others walk all over you.
