Are you playing the Wii version or the GC version with bongos (that all the elitists claim is the one true version and the only one worth playing).
I am playing the Wii version.
Sonic Colors review is finally up.
Rented Halo Reach and SMG2 today. I might try out SMG2 before the week is over.
I played the first five levels of it on Sunday with the bongos and even with that gimped control mechanism I could tell it was a quality game. I would have finished it but LKS turned up and ruined my plans.
Some PSP FFIV screens:
Does look crisper.
But still not worth the quadruple dip. It'll probably be $39.99 if it comes here so not worth it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
It better not be less than $40. The whole damned FF4: The After Years runs around $35 dollars. I'd be pissed as hell if they try to release the whole thing and the original together for the same price.
Which is why I never picked up the After Years.
But you know how Square-Enix is. It'll probably be less than $40 and they'll candy-coat it to make it look like a awesome deal!
For me though, $40 is too much for a game I played to death. The After Years isn't enough to make me want it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
If it's cheaper I'd actually say pick it up. The After Years was very good. People tried to hold it to a modern day standard which isn't entirely fair. What SE did was take some of the best elements of different 16 bit RPGs and combined them all into one. There's elements of Seiken Densetsu/Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, and FFIV all in this game and it makes for a fun experience.
It had a modern day price though, with the whole episodic stuff. It's not like they charged what they charge for a VC SNES game. Even if it was 1500 points for the whole thing, impressions would have probably been far more favorable. It's one thing to have the Telltale episodic games and another to port a released mobile phone game.
I have 300 Wii points, how can I manage it so I can add a point card and get a couple games or similar and have zero left after? In Europe so no Fluidity here yet, but maybe I can wait for it to do this. Last game I got was Cave Story and I just finished that, although I think it was on easy difficulty which is silly since it didn't let me choose in the beginning, it only enabled that option after the end, and I realised I played on easy when I saw playing on regular has a different color hat. I thought it was easier than I remembered it on PC when I played but wasn't sure, and wondered why the yellow hat. Finishing it on easy didn't unlock anything else either. Oh well.
The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds
while the pessimist fears this is true.

Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
I swore I posted that story yesterday! Yeah, this one is a bit of a puzzler to me. I mean, most of these collections have put together games from LAST gen, not this one.
I had to dig my car out of the snow with a spatula.
My net connection is like 0.25 mb at the moment.
EDIT:
Great.
i agree the after years is a great game and a great deal even if its in epsiodes it was around 30 hours long and 35$ so it was close to a 1$ a hour and theres a lot of games nowdays some are rpgs that people pay 30 to 60$ for that barely reaches 20 hours long, its funny now days on how square is just about living off porting games and download games for most of their income
The fuck? How can you get higher upload speeds than DL ones?
My girls loved Galaxy 2. Now I have to consider getting it.
