Errr... FFCC: CB feels more like an interactive movie than a game...

Granted, Squenix usually makes kick-ass movies, but the game feels (so far) like CG, then a Final Fantasy mini-game, then A LOT more CG, then another mini-game.

I can see a whole bunch of people absolutely HATING this game and a few people really getting into it.

I don't know which side of the fence I am on yet.

[It's really a Final Fantasy action flick. It starts out running and gunning and continues from there. It's fun, but it's not Final Fantasy, so far.]

What's going on here?

Various game retailers are having a lot of trouble keeping New Super Mario Bros. Wii in-stock. Here's the latest update on some of your favorite game retailers...

Amazon still out of stock, but says new shipment should be in tomorrow

WalMart.com is out of stock again

BestBuy.com backordered

Target.com out of stock

ToysRUs.com out of stock

Hello, we have a thread for this.

A portion of an AssociatedContent review...

In conclusion, you're trading multiplayer gameplay (though other players can help or hinder you at certain points) and customizable characters for a huge sandbox game, IR magic controls, graphical prowess, and a story-driven game. It's quite impressive- very equal in quality to a core Final Fantasy game, in many ways even more entertaining considering the intuitive controls and gameplay elements.

Full review here (thanks Tim!)

Keep the impressions coming please.  This is sort of what I both feared and expected.  If they go the Xenosaga route with this game I'm going to stay far far away.

Ahhhh so it is official, FF14 is going to be a MMORPG.  Frankly I don't see it being the next big thing in that genre.  FFXI was okay at best and did offer a few neat features like be able to play with people cross-platform, but really there was nothing in it that made me say "I really need to check out the sequel."

More importantly I think just calling it Final Fantasy is going to hold it back.  It may sell copies in Japan because of the name, but everywhere else in the world that name comes with a lot of baggage.  SE should have just given the game a different name instead of once more whoring out the FF name.  

11 was very popular, so I don't know.  

The Final Fantasy audience is a little different from typical MMORPGaers, so they may be more willing to pick up a sequel.  But if they end up being like fans of EverQuest and Asheron's Call, then SE is in for a challenge in getting the current FFXI audience to quit that game and move to FFXIV.

No I for the last time I am applying for a job of designing porn for bugsonglass. Why do you not believe me? I am telling the truth.

Until I see the porn pictures of a porno Mario I refuse to belive you are involved.

Wait...

Oh shoot.

Good luck with that one.

 You don't know what makes Bugsy tick, do you? Do you know what gets Bugsy's juices flowing?

Neat video compilation there.  Those Japanese commercials were a little too strange for my taste though.  Still don't quite get the Zelda dance troupe.

It's not. The interenet censorship is going through, btw. Conveniently announced just before parliment closes.

I tried playing Mario Sunshine. Ugh. Camera control in that game is asinine, I'm not sure I'll be able to play it.

 You hate 3d platformers. Why are you playing Sunshine?

 I loved Galaxy, so thought I'd give it a try.

NO! It is NOT! You CAN play it! You can DEFEAT Super Mario Sunshine, Aspro! DON'T give up! There is NO try!

Really, the camera is the only bad thing about that game (IMO). When I first got it back in 2002, I was really frustrated with it early on, and nearly quit playing the game. However, it was a Super Mario game, so I continued playing. After about five or six hours, the camera controls became second nature to me, and that's when I really started having fun with it. It's my favorite 3D Super Mario game. Happy
