I think the models are great actually. Not all but most of the textures have a very flat look to them, such as the tiles in the 3rd pic. They have no illusion of depth in between each tile. In the fourth screen where Alice is standing exemplifies poor texturing and geometry at once. Actually, that's the only example of poor geometry, that rock just looks bad, low poly and a horrible likely placeholder texture. Honestly I'd expect the graphics to improve at least a little before release anyways. Perhaps some higher resolution textures and upping the polygon counts. What I noted in the 4th screen is definitely worse looking than in the other 3, so I'd bet it's an earlier version.

I'm refraining from buying the XL simply to help justify getting a 3DS in a year or two time more easily.

I thought Daft had P.

You know, we have/had pet threads. A couple of my cat taken with my phone. The first he's just sitting there wondered why I'm making him sit there. The second I'm making him stand up to get a treat from me. Male Wedge-head Siamese. Completely annoying, meows to complain about everything and nothing. Loves to eat fruit.

Ha, I did the same thing. I didn't save the Jack of all trades until after Bloomingdale actually, not that I changed my class after that.

Shoes are so overrated. If I didn't have to do things that required them I would never wear them.

That's kinda what I was thinking, as the first treasure map I did had one helluva tough boss. Gave me more trouble than any main story boss easily, with exceptions to when I was still doing a solo party.

Despite my hand hurting I played some more today and....

I think it could be treated like E3 with a main thread covering the conference, and separate threads for the things that warrant more than a a couple people echoing similar sentiments.

Silly me, I thought it was already stylized.

I'll throw this out there, I'll follow a comic con thread. I went into the Comic thread once or twice.

I shall refrain from posting more just so others aren't tempted to spoil and can have a chance, but I know W and T. I think RAP will probably be the hardest, and possibly O. I had to start looking to figure out W, I knew it as soon as I saw the name of the company though...figures. Edit: Just the same as with W, I got O, recognized the name when I saw it.

The first two posts in direct opposition. The geometry and textures are rather poor, but the models look quite nice and I can overlook anything else in the graphics for the great use of beautiful vibrant colors.

I was unaware of a user called Jim. Boy howdy do I feel sheepish. Anyways, my point somewhat stands in that occasionally people use other members real names which can get a might bit confusing.

I've got like 43 hours into this now. I need to take a break though, the DSlite just isn't ergonomic and my right wrist/thumb hurt.

You just gave a perfect example.

I don't think it takes away from the community atmosphere at all, and it certainly doesn't make users seem more like faceless chan users unless they just post meme's constantly.

That is true, but Muse are rather shite.

Seeing as how this is a forum of a gaming site, where people can come to nerd out, I don't see the relevance of threads pertaining to peoples daily lives or random photos. This isn't another Social Networking site. That isn't meant to be against getting to know people outside of their nerd-dom, just that daily happenings aren't the point. Something exciting or big happens (have an accident, win a contest) that'd make for a better thread than HWYD. I look at pictures in a similar way, go to a tourist location and take pics? Keen. Posting pics of a random party? (likely like a dozen other random parties) bleh. For the other conglomerated threads, I think some sort of middle ground is needed. They were hard to jump into without the feel that your post would just be washed away in a sea of prattle. Which certainly seemed like the case most of the time. I think the Anime and Film threads were easiest to jump into though, at least easier than Music. On the other hand, there are so many various films, musics, and anime (ok nvm that one, the only talk was about naruto bleach and anime vs. manga) that clutter seems inevitable. We'll have to wait and see. To be honest though, I already like the forums more now with the more...segregated approach to finding a topic in any given medium relevant to ones interests. Ala, Scott Pilgrim and Tron Legacy threads.

By emotion and power do you mean completely ruining a great song?

I got a minute five, but it's just whining to me. Back to Chapelle.

That's okay, I have an irrational hate of female singers. Like, can't stand 99% of songs sung by a girl. This isn't necessarily due to them being female, it may just be a bad song.
