Nah, that is the same as PAL/AUS box but it is unnecessarily fatter, no thanks

Bomba... PAL/AUS box... US confirmed shafted with tween asian dick

I just saw a picture of the US box with Disc 4 in the paper sleeve. Gross. 

[The Sceneman]

haha I knew it

[tiesto]

I just made it to chapter 7 of ES, I think I'm almost done. Fuck getting 1000/1000 on it, why torture myself? The game started off nicely, but the dungeon design (which peaked in chapters 2 and 3) now sucks... not to mention you fight the same 2 (out of like 8 total) enemies per dungeon, using the same exact tactics. The challenge is nil, the story isn't that gripping, not to mention some of the cinemas went on for like 40 minutes... like the whole bit at the end of chapter 3 with Claves. Yeah, there is no way ES is even fit to clean BD's toilet bowl.

Graphics rock, it's the best looking RPG as of now, though LO might change my mind.

I love how Aeris whispered "Lost Odyssey" and "Wednesday at 12pm." I had to listen to the voicemail twice to catch it.

Himuro is fucked.

this man is hilarious  

i don't think this guy played much farther into the game than i did but never mentioned so in his review.  shady fucker.

Naw, I heard her. She said Wednesday at 1:30 for me. 

[AdmiralViscen]

Maybe she did for me too... fuck

[AdmiralViscen]

I own it

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I'm sick,so I can't pick my copy up today 

[AdmiralViscen]

How do I use this Song thing I downloaded? And what do Seeds do?

[demi]

WHERE IS MY COPY COHEN

[Beezy]

I tried to get this at Gamestop today. Besides the preorders, they were sold out. :'(

[tiesto]

I can't wait to get this game, too bad I won't get around to it until the weekend... What's the word on the game's length? ~40 hours or so?

[hyp]

amazon is the worst possible place to pre-order games.  STAY AWAY!

[MCD]

amazon is the worst possible place to pre-order games.  STAY AWAY!

i remember when they told me my copy of Dead Rising will ship after a week and you can't cancel it.

  Amazon

[demi]

sounds like i'll have a gift waiting for me at GDC

[AdmiralViscen]

Well, figured out the song. You don't even use it, it presumably triggers a person to appear on the second floor of the bar.

I remember reading in GAF impressions that the seeds do something to boost your character or some shit, but I don't remember what or how.

[The Sceneman]

fuck amazon "carrier has been notified to pick up package"

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

'carrier' probably refers to the US postal service (or whoever Amazon uses to deliver their stuff), and that they have told them to come collect the goods from them

[The Sceneman]

awwww fuck it Im picking up LO today. I figure I can throw Eternal Sonata (once I see the ending) into my 'will replay eventually for achievements' pile, next to Bioshock and Dead Rising

[hyp]

the beginnings of a huge 360 backlog begins.

[demi]

pretty much. i remember the day i told myself i would go back to Dead Rising... back in 2006

[Joe Molotov]

I tried to get this at Gamestop today. Besides the preorders, they were sold out. :'(

Mine too, but I actually preordered for once so I could get the free DLC code. I'm playing Lost Odyssey right now. Thanks Gamestop! :kylielaff

[The Sceneman]

I havent preordered but I'll hit up the EB for the free code anyways seeing as Im their coolest patron, hopefully the dude with emo black hair will hook a fellow Scenester up

[Joe Molotov]

It's always nice to get in good with some of the Gamestop/EB employees so you can snag some free stuff. 

[The Sceneman]

yeah I got a Bangin double-sided big glossy DMC4 poster for free from this dude last week

[Himu]

I got LULZ Odyssey. Impressions later. No extra pre order content for me! -_- I didn't even fucking get a Patapon demo. 

[The Sceneman]

Eb were sold out but I manged to find a copy by going to a few stores

Got banging PAL packaging, no faggy paper sleeve for me (but I do get an ugly, wider than usual game case)

[MCD]

the pre-order dlc will be free anyway.

[The Sceneman]

And my game had a fucken 1 month xbl gold card inside the case

cool I guess

[demi]

lol, you dont even play online or need gold to download the DLC

[The Sceneman]

yeah It was random, cant complain though, just bought a years worth of gold recently so wont need to use it for a while

[MCD]

Most of MS 1st/2nd party titles have one.

[TVC15]

Can I name the main character?  I want to name him demisemen

[MCD]

Can I name the main character?  I want to name him demisemen

i don't think so, he says his name in one of the cutscenes.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

My mum picked up my copy,shes awesome 

[MCD]

OMGWTFBBQ @ the first boss!!!   

spoiler (click to show/hide)

How the hell are you supposed to beat him when he can just go off and hit my entire party for 250 HP a turn, and my guys only have like 350-400 HP and all my healing shit only does 100 HP to one person? That's fucked up. I've barely even got to fight any guys yet, am I just supposed to run around in this first little area for an hour or two to get my guys strong enough to beat him? I could have beaten him easy if it weren't for that one cheapass move he keeps spamming. His other attack only does like 125 to one person, and I was hitting him for about 250 per turn (he has 1600 HP). I guess I'll fight him again and try to get lucky this time. 

[close]

[The Fake Shemp]

Just 40 minutes into the game and I really dig the atmosphere so far.

[hyp]

how long into the game before you're off exploring and engaging in awesome RANDOM battles?

[The Fake Shemp]

Well, it does thrust you in a very simple, tutorial-based combat situation early on with random battles after the Highlands are demolished.

[Joe Molotov]

how long into the game before you're off exploring and engaging in awesome RANDOM battles?

It's about an hour and half before you really start getting to the meat and potatoes of the game. There's some battles before that, but like Wilco said it's kinda just tutorial stuff.

I'm really liking it too, except for that cheap boss.

Learn to strategy, noob

[hyp]

i really want to play, but i've got culdcept, burnout, and rez hd eating my time.  i should be getting it soon though.

[Joe Molotov]

Learn to strategy, noob

This is an RPG, the only strategy should be "Press X to Win" or "Grind more."

lol whut

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

On metacritic, ES = BD > LO.
On gamerankings, ES > BD = LO.
What the hell is wrong with western reviewers?

Eternal Sonata....lol.

I really gotta question people's sanity when they prefer that over something like BD.

Have the dweeb use Flare, hit up Kaim with a power drink and have him attack.

[Himu]

I'm really enjoying this game.

Characters are the highlight for me thus far, next to the really good battle system, skill, and formation systems.

Thousand Year Dreams are fucking beautiful.

This is a sound off to all game reviewers: suck my black balls.

[AdmiralViscen]

Kaim better lighten up, he's worse than Squall at this point.

[Himu]

how about no
