Discuss anything here, including non-SE games :)

(there was an old thread for this, but i like fresh new ones - it's like drawing on a fresh new piece of paper! :D)

So grab your favourite crayon, and come join me in scribbling this one up!

Playing Mass Effect. Fantastic game in ALL aspects and one of the best RPG's I've played in recent times. Amazing story,brilliant mix of shooter and RPG elements with squad-based tactics,and what can I praise about the interaction which hasn't already been said? Playing it has made me respect BioWare once again (after I lost a bit of trust on them after Jade Empire) and they are now my favorite developer (over SE yes).

Makes me want to play Baldur's Gate II again. :D

Then perhaps you shouldn't play the Sonic RPG for the DS or you might lose your newfound respect for bioware :P

Finished Prince of Persia, great game, with some of the most beautiful game design ever.Fenian_lostsoul

I haven't played it but I have seen the commercial on TV and it looks really bad to me, it just looks wierd and it is only one f the things putting me off it

I heard Sonic RPG is bad yes. Not that I care. Just like I don't care about majority of SE handhelds. I only care about their "main" games. And as far as those are concerned I am yet to play a bad "major" BioWare game. Baldur's Gate I and BG II were legendary (I like to call them FFVII of WRPG's),Neverwinter Nights was an interesting variation to the AD&D formula as well and KotOR was their mainstream breakthrough. Jade Empire had a good story but a weak combat. Mass Effect so far is matching KotOR toe-to-toe for me.

As you can see I and BioWare have had quite a history. :P

I still think it has some of the best graphics and design of this gen, I'm simply fond of cel-shaded animation(when done rigth).

Well if you can't get it in a store then ebay is good - also try Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and Last Remnant - all are excellent games as well.

Kinda hard to explain, so I'll give you the Wiki article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_Notice_(TV_series)

It might sound boring, but if you watch it, you'll see how awesome it is. ;)

EDIT: Just type in Burn Notice on wiki. The address isn't working. :roll:

Since that post of mine was pretty old, I got more than enough confirmation from Cronaroth.:P

I will try getting it soon enough.

Yay! More GL fans! I thought I was the only one here. :D

Is anything exciting happening over here ? :|

I'm determined to get to 10k posts :twisted: ... I don't know why I told you that just then :|.

HAHA rad.... i TOTALLY know how you feel! :D i'm a little more than halfway through The Journey (yes i have the FES version) but it's taking me a long time to play cause i'm doing every single one of Elizabeth's requests and they are sometimes vexing :lol:SymonDezyn

I missed the first 3 requests of Elizabeth... Including that PSP thing you have to ask from Stupei. :P

weird, that handheld gaming system request is the ONLY one i've missed so far

now she's making me fuse difficult persona's and perform fusion spells... not to mention fetching all sorts of obscure items for her..... its neverending LOL 

so, is anyone here a fan of Naruto?sleepinglion987

:lol:

I'm the exact opposite of a fan.

No I don't really like Naruto that much but I like Bleach.

[QUOTE="sleepinglion987"]so, is anyone here a fan of Naruto?Bioshockraptor

:lol:

I am on your side as well.

My fave animes are Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. :D 

i used to be when it first came out...then it got too hyped up. the same for bleach too.

mostly im watching Black Lagoon over an over again. i can never get tired of that one

Astroboy FTW! :DFantasy_Gamer

Astroboy was really funny when I was young, but I eventually grew out of it. :P

Your my new best friend. XD

Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime, bar none. Clearly noted in my sig for any other fan to notice, hahaha.

However...I've watched most of Naruto. Dubbed. I know, I know. Once you get past the actual character Naruto and his annoyances, the rest of the anime is actually quite good. I really enjoy the fight scenes and Shippuden is much more mature from the little I've seen. I accidentally saw a couple episodes, I could immediately tell it was a lot more heavy. But having seen nearly all of Naruto in dub, I'm going to wait for the series to finish in dub. I also watch Bleach, I missed its airing Saturday night though. I'll have to catch up when it pops online in a couple days. I watch Moribito right after it too, so I'll have to see that as well. I really enjoy Bleach, its a lot of fun to watch. Like with my RPG's, I have a lot of anime I have to catch up on...but probably never will. =p
