It's crazy how much content they stuff into these JRPG's. Personally, I never cared for any of them, with the exception of Tales of Symphonia, which took me a long time to finish and I was getting pretty sick of it towards the end.
The last game I spent the most time on (outside of MMO's) was Mass Effect 2, which I played for well over 80 hours. I completed the campaign twice and did all the side quests, explored every planet completely depleting them of all resources as well as playing through all the DLC. I never once got tired of it while doing all this, and I can't wait for ME3.
I have the same kind of "completionist" personality as this guy, but not towards JRPGs. Achievements and Trophies go a long way towards adding an incentive to complete games.
@vinsanityv22: Have you even played DeBlob 2, or are you just quoting other people's opinions? I, for one, thought it was a great game. I don't think anyone was expecting a huge seller out of DB2, but I still think it was a solid game that knew it's target demographic and hit that target right on the head.
Also, for what it's worth, I think Saints Row is a good franchise. At first it was just a cheap GTA clone meant to tide over the masses until the release of GTA IV. While i can't comment on Saints Row 2, as I never played much of it, it seems to me that they are just out to have as much fun as possible with the franchise. I mean, we are talking about games here. If fun isn't the point, what is?
@FluxWaveZ: Cool, I wasn't aware of that, glad I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition then. Don't know why it took them three entries to get to this point though.
Also, my Sheppard has always been a female. Ever since ME1. But I made mine a blonde, so it's kind of weird to see her as a brunette. Oh well, at least she is getting some attention. I swear, I can't even play ME with a male Sheppard, his voice annoys the hell out of me.
When I first saw her, the first thing that struck me was how large her eyes were. She looks like a character from a Disney film, minus the large breasts. If a game has a female in it that plays even a minor role, chances are she is going to be designed disproportionate to what "real" women look like. It's a fact of the industry, and very few examples break away from this mold. (Jade from Beyond Good and Evil is a good example, but again, she is in the minority.) It's sad, but when it comes down to it games are a product, meant to sell as well as possible and we all know that sex sells.
I still wonder why Bioware has chosen to ignore the female version of Sheppard in their advertisement and game covers for Mass Effect, because if they put her on the cover it would probably sell better. Not that it needs any help selling, nor will Bioshock Infinite for that matter, most likely.
There are so many farming ones that should count, but don't. Well...maybe it's more about gardening instead of farming, which is technically what the hint asks for.
This man would do well to shut the fuck up and go away. Also, he would also benefit from taking a look at what happens to crazy-ass zealots like him in the form of one Mr. Jack Thompson.
