I think you're allowed to blame that entire thing on The Chinese Room's involvement. They exist to make the most boring "art" games ever. I can appreciate a well-built atmosphere and everything, but I need more to a game than walking from point A to B.

That's right, she rides the bike to save Anaya. I love Tomb Raider Legend, I love how Lara dresses. I'd like to play the sequel Tomb Raider Underworld someday!

I like Tomb Raider Legend. The intro song is awesome and some of the buddies comments are hillarious.

Tomb Raider Underworld is the one with Norse mythology, I think. I read a game magazine with a preview of the game and it looked pretty awesome. I heard Thor hammer is in the game.

I bought Wonderful 101 today. Not bad. One of those games where you have to get used to all the on screen chaos, but it's fun. All kinds of craziness.

Whoever's NOT playing Grand Theft Auto V for the next few months is SERIOUSLY missing out!

[Peanut]

Only slightly hyperbolic there, sport.

[愛]

Yeah, all of that DEEP gameplay!

I'm getting it, but I mean...guys. Come on.

[Peanut]

Is it as playable as the FIRST Saint's Row yet? GTAIV sure as f*ck wasn't.

[MrTMNT2012]

GTA IV was dull as hell, just a lot of boring missions and locations. I'm about 3 hours into GTA V and it is surpassing San Andreas in terms of fun factor already!

Trust me, the Game's awesome! I was a bit skeptical cause the first mission dragged on but the rest of the game is MAGNIFICANT in scope, beauty and gameplay so far. Everything feels fun!

GTA has a way of catching people in the hype, so you'll pardon me if I don't take your word for it.

[Zulithe]

GTAV (PS3) coming tomorrow. Not getting caught up in any hype, just want to enjoy a game that's clearly had a lot put into it.

I'll be splitting my time between it and FFXIV (PC) and then in Oct I'll be overwhelmed with several 3DS RPGs (Pokemon [going with Y version, I think], Etrian Odyssey and Rune Factory 4)

I'm halfway tempted to pick up a cheap-o 2DS and Pokemon X so I can trade pokemon with myself T__T Yeah, I'm getting old and I'm the only person I know who bothers with Pokemon anymore (well, offline) I need more gamer friends.

Thanks for the KH insights, gang. And I agree, Gummi Ship stuff was probably the thing I ignored most, I'd entirely forgotten it until now.

I'm not gonna be playing much for the next week; she went to go pick up GTA V and I'm not allowed to play GTA games until she's done with 'em, it's one of The Rules. I agree, though, that while I enjoy the games I feel the hype for them is a bit much.

[Slade]

Well, I will be playing GTA V. I give in to the hype.

[Peanut]

No one said not to play the game. I'm going to. It's just getting caught up in the whole "this is the best game ever made!" hype that's consistently annoying. It's nearly impossible to have an actual conversation about Rockstar games for the first month they're out, because people absolutely refuse to acknowledge any legitimate issues.

But that probably just bugs those of us who also like to discuss games on a critical level. In whatever situation you should play what you love and enjoy it as much as you want to.

[MrTMNT2012]

Just completed the last mission of the campaign and.....Wow, what an experience! While it may not be the "OMFG, BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!", it IS the greatest open-world game on this current gen of gaming and my personal favourite in the GTA Franchise.

I'd recommend it to just about any gamer, it's got something for everyone and the story is thrilling and awe-inspiring. Not a single dull mission or moment (unlike GTA IV...). Sure there are moments of annoyances, but those are quickly forgotten.

Anyone who LOVED San Andreas (like myself) will find this to be the perfect way to cap off this generation of gaming.

(10/10) - GTA V for a perfect experience and groundbreaking achievement on the Xbox 360 and PS3 (hoping for a PC Release....the mods just make themselves!)

[Candy Kappa]

i hope they fix driving in GTAV, in IV I ended up taking the taxi almost every damn time.

[愛]

Rev up your feels, guys! Ace Attorney 5 will be out October 24th in NA and Europe on the eShop!

Wait what? I heard it comes out here like tommorow, I think, and you already finished the campaign! That is impressive!

[愛]

Driving is still damn awful. It also runs like complete garbage, insanely low FPS rate pretty much the whole time I was playing. It makes the game almost unplayable. It actually made me dizzy.

[Peanut]

All I can say is that it's a GTA game. Straight up.
