    Sonic R. That ridiculously cheesy music.

     

    Hahaha, oh God yes. Even as a naive child I understood that Sonic R's soundtrack was somehow laughable, but that wouldn't stop pulling out the moves to "everybody's super sonic racin'!"

     

    Speaking of games from my childhood, two games always stick in my mind that in hindsight probably weren't that special, Cool Spot and Zool on the Amiga. They always seemed like the games I wouldn't be afraid to talk about in the playground just for the coolness factor, and considering the two games were just big advertisements it's a testament to their success that I still remember them that way. I still have the Chuppa Chups logo engrained in my psyche to this day.

    I made pretty much the same class and I didn't get on well with it. The ACOG sight really seems to exaggerate the recoil on the gun to sniperesque levels. It could just be me though, but by the time I waited for it to recover from my first shot I was either dead or the enemy was out of sight.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I do understand there can be appeal to a world map. It serves quite well to give you a bit of scope and context for the place you're fighting for and they offer a pleasent distraction in marathon sessions, but I feel that now RPG's are these sprawling 40 plus hour experiences, excluding sidequests, the genre has really outgrown the need for such petty distractions.

     

    A well crafted game gains the same effects in other areas, especially with the budget Square Enix has where they can call in the CG team, writers, and an orchestra on a whim.

    The funny thing about it, is the fact that I feel like it's going to be shit, it's going to be good...if that makes sense.

     

    Buuut it's a Team Kitase game with a linear gameplay, lame story and lame characters. I know other people will looooove the game and the story etc etc...but hey, people like twilight and I am still getting around as to why.

     

    Give me overworld map, simple story (Or a fun story) with likable characters and it's a hit. (This is one reason why Mario RPG's and Dragon Quest games work so well)

     

    Overworlds are just a glorified menu really. I never saw what good they brought to a game.

    I loved the beta of this, but I was so hyped up about MW2 that I assumed it'd just be a shitter version of it so I decided to buy that instead. In hindsight Modern Warfare was waaaay overhyped, it feels so claustrophobic and repetitive compared to my experience with MAG.

     

    The one good thing about MW2 however is that I know it'll maintain its original value for a good ammount of time, so I can just sell it when I don't need it anymore, something less true of MAG. I reckon I'll wait till I can find it second hand.

    No doubt, the shield does rock. But in a knife class, where it's mostly about speed, the shield not only slows you down, but makes you much easier to spot (as it's huge!)

     

    That's not really the case. The shield is an asset if anything to aknife class since you can work your way towards your enemy and quickly switch to your handgun and knife. You also have the option of keeping it on your back to deter back stabbers.

     

    The only issue thats difficult to work around is grenade launchers and the like, the riot shield has a tendency to attract them. If you're skilled with the throwing knife it can do the triick, otherwise crack C4 in your setup and lure them around corners.

    Lightweight/Marathon set ups are always a laugh, even if people hate you for them :P I recently chucked together one with the Riot Shield, an M9 with tactical knife and the throwing knife. I used it to walk into a room with 3 campers and killed them all by throwing the knife, picking it up, rinsing and repeating and wracking up a 16 or 17 kill streak before dying (my best yet I think).

     

    I may look like a prat but you get tons of assist points aswell so I've been leveling like a beast since I made it.

    You're both shit at this :p

     

    It baffles me that they chose an X Factor winner for this. Hearing several versions of a Leona Lewis song through a Final Fantasy will be boring in comparison to the usual unknown breakthrough singers. I tend to like to research them like I did for Utada Hikaru after Kingdom Hearts.

    Fucking hell, the people reviewing Final Fantasy XIII must have been expecting the next coming of Jesus if they're getting that worked up about it. I could get thirty hours of entertainment out of just watching videos of this bad boy.

    I just bought a PS3 slim and bankrupt myself so all I have is home, but I've got a spare tenner lying in my bank, anyone got any recommendations for a little downloadable gem to pass the time 'til the next pay cheque? Preferably something with online co-op :)

    I really couldn't disagree more with this post... but hey, it's a free world... if you wanna keep playing scrub-level that's fine for me, you can do whatever the heck you like...

    Excuse me for wanting to get better and I LIKE looking up every cheap, annoying technique but that doesn't mean I'll use them in friendlies... Only when trying to teach scrubs a lesson :indeed:

     

    You always use chaingrabbing in friendlies :p And you're in no position to call anyone a scrub Buster Brown.
