If You're Not Playing Sims 2 What Other Game Do You Play.

Oh, FFXIII will be out for Xbox all right. But we're talking about FFXIII Versus here, which is a separate title (more darker plot wise) and which will be exclusively for PS3. Nomura has made it crystal clear and I seriously doubt he will change his mind. Magazine reporters keep asking the same question and he keeps giving the same answer. So, I won't avoid giving my money to Sony after all. Grrrr

Ah. I didn't realize they were two different games. What's the deal with Versus, then? (By the way, I am now insanely mad at myself for choosing the 360 over the PS3.)

My YouTube friend Daisuke can enlighten you a bit.

Watch it full screen and in high quality.

I just read up on Versus, as well. It looks like I have to expand on my job search, and the first thing I buy will be a PS3. So it can sit around with all the other game systems I have, just so I can play Final Fantasy. lol.

[Nalia]

Haha. You're funny!
Personally I have avoid buying game consoles as a measure of self-disciplined -- I played PS2 games in my friends consoles. This will be my first time getting a console for real. Damn you, Noctis!

As for Xbox versus PS3, I am told PS3 is better regarding graphics and all, but then again it's Sony, and they have this "constipation" about locking games according to region and all, which can be a problem. [Even their DVD players for TV are strictly and specifically categorised for specific region. So you can't play NTSC or PAL if you're in a different region. Soooo, last Christmas we threw out of the window anything labelled Sony in our house and replaced them with Philips. Now we can buy and watch movies from all around the world. lol]

I don't have as many as others do, and I can't play the other FF games that weren't released on PS's, but I have the original PS, PS2, Nintendo 64, Xbox, Xbox 360, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance ... and the only ones I touch are the PS2 and original Xbox. It's such a waste of money.  Even if I do get a PS3 I will probably never touch it except to play that XIII Versus. Woo, 400 dollars for one game (that will be an extra 60, too!) ... they really find ways to take your cash, don't they? 

And I hear you about the stupid region specific DVD players. I'm partial to my cheap 30 dollar one I was able to make region free. But that's another subject entirely ... lol.

Yup. Sony is going to get some real money out of FF fans and players. They should be grateful to Square-Enix, instead of robbing them percentages off their game sales. >:

I think Square Enix should buy me a PS3. They owe me after X-2. No, really. I lost IQ points playing that game that I'll never get back. 

[Nalia]

LOL You will lose more if you don't get rid of Tidus' story. Besides, he can't compete Cloud no matter what.

[Naria]

Oh I already gave up on X. I went back to playing XII for a third time. LOL.

[Nalia]

That was a wise decision. You won't regret it. lol

[AxelVal]

I play..hmm, what do I play besides Sims?  :/
I restarted Kingdom Hearts a few days ago - on Extreme Mode for the fun of it.  It's awful  DX
I'm also in the middle of trying to beat a LOT of games:
DragonQuest VIII
Final Fantasy VIII & XII
I have a saved game for Orphan: Scion of Sorcery but haven't played in YEARS
uhm. I know I have more.
Ooh, I have an Inuyasha game.

And lately I play Guild Wars a lot.  I'm finally above level 10! 

[Nalia]

Yeah, Guild Wars is by the same Korean company that produced Lineage II and don't know how much patience you've got, but it might take you forever to advance much.

If you need help with FFVIII let me know.
My favourite phrase: "Whatever." lol

[Naria]

I have Guild Wars: Nightfall ... sadly I got it when it was brand spanking new and 70 dollars, and I played it twice. This thread is making me realize how much money I waste. I'm getting kind of depressed. 

And I was just about to say if AxelVal needed help with XII I've played it enough to be able to help. I guess AxelVal is covered should she need help. (However, the last time I played VIII was in the 90's and I'm afraid my memory is terrible)

[Chaavik]

Well I didn't mention the console games I like to play on PS2:

Blood Rayne
Sims 2 Pets
Sims 2 Castaways
EQ 2 (Can be played offline)

PSP:

Sims 2 Castaways (I take this wherever I go for my appointments and end up waiting forever to be seen)

As for the Final Fantasy series, I stopped playing after FF III when the company decided to take the FF series to the next level - online playing and subscriptions. Why should I pay to play one of my most favorite games online? And what fun is it in playing the later FF series if I heard nothing but complaints from people on other FF fan sites? *shrugs*

Nothing feels as good as playing the original FF I and II series on Nintendo. I at one time also had a PC version of the FF series (I think III) and that was it.

The absolutely worst PC games ever:

Daikitana (it's horribly designed and played.. enough said! Stevie, shame on you)
Tabula Rasa (it was good for awhile, but it gets so redundant and difficult to complete quests at higher levels but that's just my opinion)

The absolutely best PC games ever:

Quake series (up to 3 - Didn't try 4)
System Shock 2 (played SS 1 and then got SS 2 in '99 when it came out - best replay value and spooky stuff)
Max Payne
Sims 1 and 2 series
Anno 1602 and Anno 1502 (US Versions are 1602 AD and 1502 AD)
Earth Empire II
EQ 1 and 2

The above are what I personally played and liked well enough to keep on my hard drive. The others were just fleeting moments of gratification from playing the first time and second time.

Just a note: Only FF XI is an online game, not the previous ones. For FFVII and VIII there were also pc version, and after that ps and xbox.
