I got Chrono Trigger for the DS, one of my all time favorite games, but I just cannot force myself to play through it.  My attention span for video games pretty much absolutely shot.

KH fans are jerks anyway

But I mean even from people I heard found some appeal in other KH games (despite them being terribly stupid)

can't in this one

and when I say people I mean people I know and I use them as an example because they liked other KH games

I got my ds like 7 days ago and beat The World Ends With You (which wasn't as good as I thought it would be).I'm now playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days wich by FAR! is the worst in the series.The only reason I'm playing it is because its a Kingdom hearts Game.Don't get me wrong its by no means a bad game its just the other kingdom hearts games were awesome.Also I have been playing scribblenauts, Castlevania and tried abit of Dragon Quest V.

I'm downloading Dragon Quest Monsters now but I hear that its pretty bad.

dragon quest 5 its awesome i jus got married (i picked the slutty one that makes you sleep on the floor and attacks twice) this probably may be the best ds game ever and ive played all the good ones so i know if youve got a ds and some spare time and money pick this game up its great value you can recruit monsters, pick a wife, and from what ive heard the game is around 40 hours so itl last quite a while
I love sucking dick

Are you trying to say it's bad.... I think it's one of the best games for the DS and the controls aren't that bad ether. They must of put a lot of work in this game because I never seen a DS game have this much good looking 3D graphics Sure a PSP could do it better. but if you do really good 3D for a DS game you set the bar and if you did it for PSP you accomplished nothing other then you made another 3D game for the PSP.

What I'm trying to say is if it was for the PSP it would be nothing special. Having it on the DS set it apart from the rest of the games and makes it easy for it to be marketed. .

but then again KH has a fan base so it really doesn't need to go this route  but guess what? They did.

I'm saying, it's DECENT but being ahead of the games on DS doesn't make it 'special', it still has the ultimate handycap of being on the DS! Poor graphics, very little voice acting, and horribly small areas. I haven't got too far yet, but man I REALLY would have preferred it on PSP; simply because it doesn't take advantage of the DS touchscreen hardly ever, nothing that couldn't be analog or d-pad. And then there's the game size. It could be a bigger game. Hell! The Birth by Sleep one coming out is said to be the longest in the WHOLE series. And yeah, having good graphics on PSP doesn't make it look 'special' but who cares. It looks good instead of mediocre crap I'd expect on PSone. This is 2009, and I still think DS and Wii are living entities of the past, when we could be playing games of the now. Then there's the controls. Yeah, D-pad is OK, but D-pad for menu, and analog is what I'm used to. Not cycling through the menu with a face button. Moving with a crappy PSP analog trumps an ultra crappy d-pad any day. I'm begrudgingly playing this stupid game because I'm interested in the series; not the DS.

DS is like that old cough syrup that tastes like ass. You get to play games, but it feels horrible.

The DS has a handful of games that are perfectly suited to it, and are very nice games at that.  However there are a lot more games that really don't need to be on the DS.

On the other hand, I have never met a Kingdom Hearts fan (at least in person) that I could tolerate for more than two minutes.

I just finished playing Wild Arms XF (Crossfire) on PSP and the timer read 54 hours after completing the game. The strong points of the game lie in the variety of different objectives that each mission has instead of just "Defeat these bad guys" like in most other SRPGS and the plot was good. There is a lot of character building in this game as you go along through the story but the characters DONT SHUT UP, and this really irritated me. It is a very difficult game as almost every battle requires you to have a good strategy in order to win and there is really no possible way to level grind as the unimportant encounters give very little experience. This is the first Wild Arms game that I had completed so I am not familiar with the other games.

Neverwinter Nights 2 its alright

I was wondering if the expansion is a new game or if its just some added quests and content because I started out the original game like an idiot and now I'm gonna have to play it again later.

I heard a lot of people say that Mask of the Betrayer(or w/e the first expansion is called) is one of the best PC RPGs around, though I can't say for myself since my pc can't even run it.

Since I'm not playing FFXI this month, I've been working on beating Astro Boy: Omega Factor on hard mode(I must have used state saves a lot when i emulated it, its a hell of a lot harder then i remember) as well as DMC3:SE, which i haven't played in 2 years... despite being on hard mode it seems easier, probably because I'm almost max out on everything.

Still playing Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days and have to say it is the worst in the series. Even that crappy cardgame one was better.

God damn, and I was hoping this one was going to be the sequel to the crappy card game.

I figured the 385/2 was the number of cards you could use.

But my SD cards all broke at once so I'm playing my PS2.
I'm finally going to beat Beyond Good and Evil. (there are only 3 1/2 dungeons, and this game is still too long)
I'm also trying to remember if there is any reason left to play Makai Kingdom after the first round (I'm right on the second round and I don't see any, but there's a lot I don't remember about that game).

Nah, it's about Roxas all the way through his career with Organization XIII.
You hear about what happened at Castle Oblivion (Chains of Memories / the card game one) during the story pretty early on.
It's KIND OF interesting to see the story from this angle, but for the majority of the time you're just doing short missions on a handful of Worlds.
I've been playing for about 14 hours and only touched 4 Worlds so far. Just got to World 4 as well. You basically go through the same tiny Worlds (portions of the actual size with the odd extra area you've never played in before) and do missions over and over on the planets until you're freaking sick of the maps. It's broken up by story sequences. So far, nothing really interesting. And only before I left the first world did I even interact with any disney characters!
The level / equipment / spell / item board inventory system is HORRIBLE. Hopefully I can beat this game quickly.

I dunno if I'm missing the boat or something but I picked up the platinum Gears of War that came out a while ago, (i got it for 20$ new) and so far I hate it!
I was unaware it's 3rd person shooter, which is the worst thing ever, and pretty much all of the gameplay so far has been me running up to a barricade, pushing A to get behind it, and then peeking out and shooting every few seconds.
I kinda blew through the tutorial too so I didn't really pick up the buttons quickly, but if I'm missing some huge gameplay piece please tell me!
