I don't care if its basically the same as it was before, I loved playing Golden just as much as the first time, maybe even more. The new stuff they added was overall fantastic.
-
Totally didn't think this would be my kinda game, but I can't stop playing it.
-
For not being that much of an actual game, this was the most memorable for me. Ridiculous and over the top, but the story and characters are what really caught me. Most well done QTE's in a game ever.
-
Its a miracle this game even exists and on top of that it is incredibly fun to play and looks amazing. Great story. The melee combat takes a little bit to get used to, but once you understand how it works its great.
-
I still think XIII is a fun game, maybe not in my top 5 of all final fantasies. But that doesn't make it a bad game. 2 fixed some issues, introduced 2 fantastic new characters, but Serah is just awful. The story was okay, but I'm not a fan of time travel when its not done absolutely perfect. The time travel in this game is just way too convenient. Has a pretty great ending imo.
-
Not as good as 2, and its real easy to get distracted by how awful the ending was. The gameplay went to far in the non-rpg direction and Bioware should have been given another year to actually make some sidequests. The story that is there, before the end, though is fantastic. I was genuinely moved by the sections on Tuchanka and Rannoch. I really liked the Geth's history getting fleshed out.
-
Story wasn't really delivered as well as it could, but its so well written that it doesn't even matter. Fun to play once you get used to it.
-
I wish I had picked this up sooner, the look of it put me off at first. But once I started playing that feeling went away almost instantly. This game is tense and more very fun. The music is incredible.
-
I've always liked the Tales of series, and Graces has fun combat and an interesting story. The game is a bit childish though, I think the original was on the Wii so that makes some sense. Once you can get past that I think the story is pretty fun.
-
This game has some real charm, and the gameplay is pretty fun, if not a little generic at times. Story is a little weird at times, can't tell if its the translation or not, but its well done. Also Big BO.
