I would take this as a big deal if it was a RPG or any game with some content on it, but lol it's another barebones fighting game. You have about 50 of those already in the last 2 years.

If its compatible with mods, it's a fine port. Most of the problems of the PC port were incompatibility issues with new Windows OSs and the godawful MIDI soundtrack, which the FF7Music mod fixes perfectly.

The hardcore mod patch is stupid however. I spent 30 minutes on Guard Scorpion because the mod thought it would be funny to give it 10x HP making you grind for potions for 2 hours.

I don't really know much about Toonami in its' later years but to me it was always got me excited to watch some action packed cartoons/anime when I got off school.

I work 8AM-3PM and when I get home there's nothing good on cable to watch now. I wouldn't mind watching censored shows even. Gundam Wing always got me laughing when someone said "I AM GOING TO DESTROY YOU" in a completely serious tone.

I stop watching it when they kept pushing back their anime block to 2 AM in favor of s*** like Family Guy and Venture Bros.

Wow, it's 80 dollars for a PC copy of FF7? Did all these HD mods raise the demand or what? Before FF7 was on the PSN, it was 60+ for the PSone version, but I was able to buy the PC version at an used disc shop for 5 bucks. I couldn't stand the awful MIDIs and the chocobo races crashed about 90% of the time on Windows XP. Disc 3 was completely unreadable. Plus they "fixed" the "This guy are sick" and the "Toupe Ring".

Definitely PC, but I would not buy the game day 1. Hell, I wouldn't buy the game year 1. It's a Besthesda game. They're unplayable until there's hundreds of patches and performance mods so the game doesn't crash every 15 minutes. Console versions are not safe either. My perfectly healthy Xbox 360 ran every single game without crashes and freezes. Two hours of Fallout 3? 4 crashes and RRoD.

Their defense has regressed even more than last year, and their offensive line is down to the 3rd and 4th string backups.

But Manning's presence completely changes how opposing defenses handle the Colts. If it was Manning against 6 man-rushes with man-to-man coverage, he would burn them every single time. Painter has a good grasp of the offense, he just has no talent.

Street Fighter 4 happened. Regardless if you like the game or not, it ruined Capcom. It sold millions, which led to believe all "quality video game development" should be diverted into whoring out Street Fighter 4 as much as possible. Sure, Resident Evil 4 got the same treatment, but RE4 didn't have 5 dollar DLC for palette costume swaps and online play as an excuse for barebones content. I have zero hope for Tekken X Street Fighter. Combine the two worst companies for DLC and you'll get a $60 half-ass game with $200 DLC for on-disc content and worthless costumes.

Fun fact: Gundam Wing isn't as popular in Japan as it is in America (and probably Europe). The games are marketed first and foremost to the Japanese so it took them this long to add more GW characters.

I'm glad they got around to it though.

More importantly for me, Gundam 00! Love that show. So good.


GW is in numerous SRW (primarily a Japanese franchise) games still, including the most recent one on the PSP. Though they like the garbage Endless Waltz OVA than the original series.

I'm torn between this and Dynasty Warriors 7. I always wanted to play a DW game and DW7 looks to be the better game, but I like mecha and I'm familar with the Gundam series too. Argh.
