Good to hear your doing better. I had a similar experience with a tooth abscess which was the worst pain I've ever known. Sure as hell learned my lesson from the pain in my mouth and wallet.
@Toxic: Read books you don't like, or something with a bunch of crap you don't care about. You can't put down the good ones, but the bad ones will have your eyes falling in a page.
I set out to get the Reaver class and had Alistair, Wynne, and Leliana in my party. Well you know where this goes, those girls turned on me while I'm thinking OH SHIT and my mouth is still open. Good thing Alistair had my back to beat them down and show them who's boss!
" How can a Final Fantasy # game be "too linear"? All of them have 100% linear plots. Wrong genre if you want open ended or sandbox. "
another noob... what ff13 and ff10 lacked was a worldmap to run around in, and it also had big cities and plenty of people to chat with, this doesnt, this is just a straight road. even if FF7 and FF8 for ex had squares for each section to explore, atleast that created an illusion and was OPEN, running in a straight road ISNT. "
FF7 and 8 weren't open. Having a world map doesn't make them open when you still have to go to a set number of places in a particular order to progress and when the side things you can do are so few (and there are likely side activities to do in these so called too linear games also). Citing FF7 and 8 alone hints at you being the noob who probably thinks FF7, despite even the 7, started the JRPG genre as a whole or something. What you call the illusion of open I call linear as everyone sees through the illusion. Again, you're looking at the wrong genre if you want open ended. "
As most of these linear arguments tend to come from individual's ideas of what linear is.
I think that illusion is where this outrage stems from. That there isn't any illusion...
@xionpunk:
My sentiments exactly, both about mentality and FF 12. I loved FF 6, my third FF game, and even though it's unfair and biased I'll probably never like another FF as much as I did that one. Because I'll never have that same mentality I did when I played it.
I got a major headache halfway through, maybe from the 3d, but other than that I enjoyed it for what it was. I've already forgotten everyone's names, but the leads incessant need to touch everything was childish and hilarious. Seriously people, don't touch things in alien environments, you may survive longer.
Take a break dude. Stay away from the game for a few days, get something else in your library to distract ya and come back to it later. Lot of athletes so to speak need to get away till things click for them. Forcing it usually doesn't work, just my 2c
