I'm pretty sure you are at the middle stage where I was around when I made my post about liking the game because for a while it really does look like it's gonna shape up. The characters of the game being WEIRD and kind of interesting is most apparent at this point, I think, and it kind of recedes and the story just works towards wrapping itself up, and since it isn't an interesting story at all then the game just gets so fucking empty and boring. I couldn't have cared less about the outcome by the end of it, and around the Palumpolum I was kind of getting invested in the characters. Are you at Palumpolum, or in the run up to it? Because I think these 4-5 hours of the game are the best point. It's the only time when the incessant melodrama kind of drew me in, which I wrote about. For a little while I cared about the characters getting together and being happy, even if their whole quest/fugitive thing was boring.

yeah i just finished palumpolum. i stayed up way too late playing all of it in one sitting. i'm with you; that section did kinda draw me into the game. it felt like the way the older final fantasy games structured story sections, where you aren't just ON YOUR WAY TO _____ but actually doing something somewhere. it's amazing how many games don't really do that anymore.

i'm glad i enjoyed it, because it sounds like that's pretty much all the enjoyment i'm going to be squeezing out of the game. on the bright side, i didn't really think i'd get that much so i am ahead of the game.

I've been playing Monster Hunter Tri and its a lot better than I had imagined a Wii game ever being. Loving the underwater monsters which look great as they move, as well as a lot of the bigger monsters you come across. Online can be rather fun and helps to built your character up when it comes to soloing in off-line mode.

Glad I purchased the classic controller for this game though otherwise it would be just painfull to play. Anyone tried this with wii speak? Cant get mine to work.

Playing 3D Dot Game Heroes, and I'm really enjoying it! I almost feel like I'm playing a new 2D Zelda game that doesn't suck.

Started playing Assassin Creed. But it seems like it doesn't let me do that pray interaction or let me off the horse for some reason. All patched up.

Current RPG Making Projects:

Main projects: Eternia's Promise, demo out on rpgmaker.net

Desperation Of A New Era. Prolouges out, Part 1 out. Finally a game that I can
upload and complete.

Liberated Arms VX Ace Current Status: Cancelled. For now.

Dreamwalker VX Ace Current Status: Dead, unless it's restarted one day.

Story of Ligara: Dead. Again.

And my other thousand games...(not literally)

It was the voice of Vanille that bothered me the most. Her personality and actual character design was about at the same level as all the others... not that great. Sazh was pretty disappointing.

Can't say I've grabbed a WiiSpeak yet, I don't mind just dragging out a keyboard and typing up 4-5 messages. I'm hating the character limit and the fact that you can't disable the word filter. Since when is "bastard" a bad word?

her voice and all those little sound effects "oah" "oo" "aah" "ouch" "eiefbh" JF"Flrgnjgnksjg:"gsnjgn whwagvt
seriously whenever she is on screen she has to make some weird little annoying noise every 3 seconds which sucks cause i use her as my ravager/medic mostly (hope can suck a dick, everyone else sucks. all characters suck except vanille and sazh)

don't mind me, just postin' after a few brewskies

What is the issue that you are having with it?

I cant hear anyone else through their own wii speak and they cant hear me through mine. I ran the setup test after installing the wii speak channel and it said it's functioning normally.

Must be something to do with having to set my audio sound on the tv to stereo which my tv just doesnt have as an option. hmm

I'm playing Exit Fate. Doing a optional quest to get two characters.

GTA 4 of course. But it's difficult controlling the damn helicopter in that one mission to follow a guy, this is part of a Jacob mission.

Not much, I'm just lazy to start up Oblivion or any type of game like FO3.

Assassin's Creed's controls are making not do anything, glitch much?

If the tests say it's functioning normally, then you should be just fine. Make sure that the person you are trying to speak to also has Wii speak and that both of you have each other in your friends list in game. Also, it only works as long as you are in the same city in game as the person you're trying to talk to.

Let me know if that helps.

Steadily becoming less retarded in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Gonna try and take on a Kut Ku soon, can't see it going well though. But goddamn I want that Kut Ku coin.

one of my housemates (Daibin) is fucking glued to the TV... He says that he got Monster Hunter Tri (Wii) on the day of release and he has played roughly 8-10 hours a day since then. My mind boggles at how he can play a game like that for so long... but then I remember that I get pretty close with other games... its just that I typically get sick of a game and move on a lot more.

Monster Hunter doesn't interest me outside of the fact that its just sort of crazy that Daibin plays it so much. Looks a tad grindy, and from what I hear, the story is wafer thin, which for a game that looks like basically a generic action-ish RPG/mumorpuger it seems kind of pointless. And I'm a tad baffled why its so popular.

In any case I'm still playing Descent, and I have to say that the repetitiveness of the gameplay and some of the enemies are kind of cheap (mainly the little guys with the Vulcan machine guns, their attacks are literally impossible to dodge and do WAY to much damage, and they instantly begin shooting as soon as they spot you). Its starting to wear me down. But I'm determined to beat it, especially since I've gotten through about 2/3's of it.

Monster Hunter isn't really a game for everyone, but I think you should maybe give it a shot. You might like it more than you'd think

Oh, silly me... I didnt realise it only worked if the other person is in your friends list. I assumed you could just port into a city and start chatting, thanks for the heads up.

Chrono Cross. Oh man, regardless of what people may say about this game, it truly has some epic moments. The scene where you save Kid from the burning orphanage, when she begs you to not leave her alone, and when she notes that your cheek is wet before you disappear.... And Lucca's letter to Kid. How she tells Kid that she's afraid that someone will go back in time to come and kill her and her friends, which turned out to come true, and how she suspects that Janus is still searching the world over for Kid.

..Yeah if you haven't played it (or at least Trigger) I guess you don't know what I'm talking about, but

I love this game a pile. Actually, I love the story more then the game itself, but whatever. It's the same thing.

Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Ruby, to gear myself up for eventually buying a DS (soon as I have money) when I'll be playing Pearl and HeartGold, hopefully.

I did also have a save of FFVIII going as well but the police seized my laptop recently and I still ain't got it back.

Yeah so SpoonyBard eventually did a new Final Fallacy game.
