Oh come on. Unless you're rich, you didn't really entirely stopped playing the game just after the intro, right? :S

Some people don't suffer through bad games because they paid for them.  They trade them in or sell them or anything else.  I've bought terrible games in the past that I didn't play for more than a few minutes, at that point you paid someone to let you BORE YOURSELF.

I suppose some may have heard of this already, but I only recent have seen info and such on a DS game from S-E which when translated is apparently title "The Game with No Name."  Quick peak at Wikipedia seems to suggest it being something of a take on "The Ring" where a cursed RPG game is culprit of a string of deaths, namely from those who play the game.

The trailers for it are pretty freaky considering it being a point and click horror/adventure.

So I looked over TWEWY, I Can't say I really like it although to be honest, I like Joshua's design XD
But that intro was a big turn off LEAVE ME ALLOOONNEEE!! GET OFF MY FACE! ALL THE WORLD NEEDS IS ME!!!

I like the Reaper Game Idea though at the ending.

Also I looked over Nanashi No Geemu:

When was the last time SE made a good game though?
I mean X-2 is their best game in recent years and... fucking look at it!

Does anybody really care, because this is basically just admiting that they're doing what they've done since 1998/9

At least I don't have to keep guessing when it comes to square releases from now on.

I know exactly to expect, so there's no risk of me wasting money hoping for something unexpected.

Well I dunno, I thought FFXII was a pretty good game despite it's many faults. It's definitely the most fun final fantasy they've ever made, the battle system is pretty much the best an rpg can hope for. it's not instrusive while being flexible, and the party customisation can be as deep and involved or quick and easy as you want it to.  i like rpg gameplay to be fast and easy, and ffxii let me explore a pretty interesting and alive world without a bunch of loading screens and micromanaging getting in my way.

it also tried, compared to other square-enix games, to tell a story. vaan being the main character was an atrocious mistake, he shouldn't even have been in the game because he is irrelevant but i guess effeminate males are a big selling point to lots of their moneyfaces so whatever, i try to forgive them for it. it's the only final fantasy where the fate of the entire world doesn't end up in the balance, it's a political story (with a lot of magic bullshit) and that's different for final fantasy and square games.

Terrible idea?  It can't be that bad... unless the game itself turns out bad then yeah I guess it can turn out that bad, but that's a bridge to cross when it comes down to it.  In between multiple extensions of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy it's nice to see at least something different come from the company especially with loads more FF and DQ in the pipeline yet to come.  Not that I have a problem with FF or DQ, but I certainly have appreciated games like TWEWY a bit more for being something of an interesting needle in a haystack of familiarity and convention.

That's the site for the game, all in Japanese but not too hard to navigate anyway.  Just click the first button on the main page, then the fourth button along the bottom at the next screen.  The media viewer on the following screen should have two pictures under it which represent the first two trailers released for the game.

Anyway... I played a bit of this... And I'm not so fond of the setting. I hate that whole ghetto "gangsta fo life" thing, and I've never been much of a baseball player.

i never saw the ring because japanese horror movies are dumb as shit, but honestly i'm all for weird horror adventure games for the ds!  it reminds me of that ROOM 417 game or w/e that was some detective adventure game, only replace detective with horror/thriller shit.  i don't really see how this is somehow more UGH than the awful shit people usually like for the ds.  CURSED RPG sounds bad but so does persona 2's plot when you put it like that and that ended up being pretty cool.  also it sounds like it's all pretty tentative so who knows, they might ditch that shit for something less fundamentally dumb.

Just look at this crap for fuck's sake. SE list of games for this year's E3:

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children 2 (Bluray) – Confirmed
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) – Confirmed
Final Fantasy XIII Versus (PS3) – Confirmed
Final Fantasy Nebulla (DS) – Rumoured
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (PSP) – Confirmed
Kingdom Hearts 358/5 Days (DS) – Confirmed
Kingdom Hearts (PS3) – Rumoured
Star Ocean V (PS3, Xbox360) - Confirmed
Dragon Quest IV (DS) – Confirmed
Dragon Quest V (DS) – Confirmed
Dragon Quest VI (DS) - Confirmed
The Last Remnant (Xbox360) – Confirmed
Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox360) – Confirmed

Another mother fucking FF7 movie. Three other FF games, other three Dragon Quest games and three Kindom Hearts games. WTF. I don't know if you guys, but I feel betrayed (yeeeees, lets make some drama).
What is worth looking at? Well, I never liked Star Ocean but, there it is. I can't believe it, but the only two worthy or at least "new"titles are coming out for the 360, groovy... :)

@Pulits: I'm pretty sure they don't mean another FF7 movie. It's the blu ray version of it... with new scenes and such.
Ock ock, Ack ack!

Who the hell calls a bluray re-release TWO?  It sounds like a sequel.

Final Fantasy XII isn't shit at all. Pull your head out of your ass.

It's worth it if only for the fact that Square actually tried to re-energize FF with a new story style and gameplay.

That TWEWY intro is pretty horrible, but I doubt it'd make me turn off the game. It's just typical awkward dialogue, and I wouldn't really be playing a DS RPG for the story or characters based on the current track record regardless.

TWEWY's intro and dialogue is awful, unfortunately, I like the idea but I hate how they did the execution like:

Beat: "Yo fool, this busta be disrespectin, I'm a drop him like he's hot, aight yo?"
Neku: "You are full of fail"

......................................
<.<

and oh god the repetitive music when they're talking to each other =_=
