Mass Effect 3

While FFXIII could be an upgrade from FFXII, I still see it as a downgrade from FFXI and those before.

FFXI

Hnnnng!


Anyway, FFXiii2 fixed a lot of issues I had with FFXIII, which is good. Unfortunately it's just not living up to the legacy.

13 was way better than 12. None of the games expected me to be able to do anything on my own though. In 12 You popped some gambits and the game could pretty much handle everything on it's own you just had to move the character around while not fighting and then picking up crap.
In 13, you clicked auto and the game set up the most optimal skills to do against the enemy, for each battle. All the time.

Still think that FFIX and X did the best jobs, IX for the whole storyline and looks (although the downside was the slow battles because of all those flashy effects). X was pretty good all around, hoping that the HD port will come soon. 10 years since it got out. We're old.


Also, I was thinking about buying this for my brother for his birthday, still worth it or should i look for other options?

13-2 is a discombobulated piece of crap.

Also, wait for the next version of this game. Rumor has it, they're gonna pull a CAPCOM.

FF13-2's ending was pretty =< however like most games, they're into the whole DLC stuff so there will be an expanded ending sometime in the future.

Personally, I enjoyed it once I got the hang of it.

ME3...I still haven't beaten, I'm in the last mission and it's just been there like meh however I am aware of the ending(s) and was somewhat disappointed by how generic it seems.

To be honest I haven't played 13-2 that much. So far it's 13 with a little more rpg feeling to it, I can move around, not just roads that are dungeons all the time. We'll see how I feel about it when I'm done.
And yeah, noticed that they are bringing quite some dlc's. I downloaded that omega weapon and costume-pack. Thought it was like the only extra battle. Then today they released an Ultros and typhoon battle as well as armours inspired by Mass effect 3. Sheppard armour.(See, now the discussion about ff13-2 actually make sense in this thread!)

Also I guess that when you say "next version" you are talking about mass effect and not 13-2?
Anyway, decided not to get mass effect as a present, remembered that he haven't played any of the other two. And the store didn't have them so meh. We'll see what the future holds.

This game. THIS GAME.

You can prolly order them online from Gamestop or something.

Yeah but his birthday is tomorrow so I should've thought about that earlier.

Also Assassin Robe for Noel soon.

Square Enix has been weird lately.

Aweee how about...taking him to the store and letting him pick out as long as there is a limit on the dollars? << Easy way out.

Would feel kinda weird to take your 25 year old brother to the game store and let him pick something. Just sayin. Went with bioshock 1 and 2 instead. Hope he likes it.

And yeah another assassin robe.... How much did those japanese like assassins creed? First the robe in MGS4, then his appearance in soul calibur and now even final fantasy. It's odd.

[Archem]

Odd as hell. How dare they enjoy a western game character?

[Cosmos]

The nerve of some people =/

[Cerebus]

Hnnnng!

Derp. I meant FFIX, not FFXI.

[DragonBlaze]

I actually really liked ME3 and it's ending 0.o The game wraps up a lot of issues characters were working towards in the first two games, and the only thing I disliked about the ending was that the last scene with the Normandy was a tad bit confusing or rather lacking :/
