Topic of the day.

dude's dad got killed and this guy didn't even flinch. he goes hard

Anybody else remember how awesome the RPG mode in the original Soul Edge was? Was it called Edgemaster mode then? Anyway, it was really boss.

"My bro is dead. He's no longer here."

It should be really hard to screw up fan-service crossover fighters, yet Capcom keeps doing it consistently.

love this guy.

It's like if someone on this board made a topic that said "What if pitchfork reviewed videogames?" -- that FFXIII-2 review would be the thread-winning entry.

secret gravy stash

Final Fantasy XIII-2:

Mario Kart 7:
http://pitchfork.com/killscreen/150-review-mario-kart-7/

Wowsers.

Uhhh.... pitchfork reviewed it. I'm going to make another thread called "When did Pitchfork start reviewing video games"

http://pitchfork.com/killscreen/153-review-is-there-still-a-place-for-the-linear-story/

I don't see why both Apollo and Phoenix can't be main characters. During investigation phases you would have to switch between Phoenix/Maya and Apollo/Trucy. Some witnesses would only respond to Phoenix and some would only respond to Apollo. Some characters would require the Magatama and some the bracelet. In courtroom phases, a new gameplay mechanic would be added allowing you to cross-examine with both Apollo and Phoenix.

Looks good, but why is Akihiko dressed like TETSUUUOOOOOO

Unique, but ultimately an annoying character.

Can we see a picture of yourself?

This first one is for all you Board 8 ladies and gays.

Here's one more recent - I actually have a beard now.


I thought the general concensus was Snooki is appalling. This is the largest group of people saying "would" to Snooki that I've ever witnessed.

I want a new Mega Man game that is still 2D but substantially different than what came before it.

No stage select, better story, less like metroidvania and more like Cave Story.

No. No. No. Kill it with fire.

I really have to applaud Capcom's commitment to angering Mega Man fans. This is really just unheard of. I'd think Bad Box Art Mega Man would be really cool if he didn't come after the cancellation of MML3 and the non-inclusion of Classic in MvC3. So yeah, kudos Capcom. You are really taking fanbase abuse to a whole new level.

I think Pac-Man looks great though. Too bad the whole Sony exclusivity thing/ forced Gem usage just turns this into a disaster. This game went from so HYPE (after the Poison reveal trailer) to a joke.

When Nintendo and other businesses say they're operating at a loss, that just means they're not making as much as they estimated. It doesn't actually mean they're "losing money." Of course they're at a loss for each 3DS, because their plan was to sell it for $100 more than it is now.

great great character

Seriously. I didn't vote for Obama because I seriously thought he was going to usher in some new world of racial equality and economic success. I voted for him because he was smart, honest and cared about the middle class and health care reform.

I'm going to vote for him again because he has made a large impact on the way the world views our country, and I do believe his economic policies can succeed. Everything he said last night made sense and can work if everyone works together. But no, of course in this society every issue has to be split by party lines.

As for sending kids to school, TC conveniently forgot to mention the part where he advocated for schools to keep tuition from rising or lose their funding.

I barely remember the Cid's from II and III, so I'm just gonna skip them.

Bearded Cid(FFIV) 8/10

Definitely one of my favorite Cids. The first playable Cid, and one of my favorite character designs. I don't know, for some reason I feel like he's a major reason why FFIV works as well as it does. He somehow fills two roles: comic relief and "average guy" and he does both extremely well. Awesome sacrifices too. I have a soft spot for engineers too. Cid, Mustadio and Edgar are all some of my favorites.

Cid (FFV) 5/10

Cid was a scientist in this one. I remember him having some funny scenes and a humorous rapport with his assistant. Other than that, kind of forgettable.

Yellow Cid (FFVI) 6/10

Cid is again a scientist, this time a researcher at the Magitek laboratory. The game doesn't really let us know too much about this guy. He helps the party escape from the laboratory, but it's never really clear whether or not he was actually good or just playing along in some Imperial scheme. In the World of Ruin, he and Celes have that totally messed up Granddad relationship. I always let him die because it makes Celes a really interesting character that way.

Cid Highwind(FFVII) 10/10

Simply the best. 'Nuff said.

Headmaster Cid (FFVIII) 2/10

I hate looking at you, Headmaster Cid. Why. Why do you look so much like Robin Williams? Why are you so weird? Quite frankly one of the worst character designs ever.

Regent Cid (FFIX) 8/10

This guy is basically a mixture of Cid (FFIV) and Edgar (FFVI) so of course he's awesome.

Cid (FFX) 6/10

Eww.The Al Bhed airship captain and Rikku's dad (right?). Eh, I have no real strong feelings about him. Kind of blah design, but it suits the character.

Dr. Cid (FFXII) 8/10

Cid was a villain here and one of the high points of FFXII for sure. Okay, yes, he was THE high point.

The other Cid (FFXII) 1/10

I've completely forgotten what this guy's deal was. He was like the king of some other country, I think? I thought he was going to be important but he wasn't.

Cid Raines(FFXIII) 5/10

This was a cool boss fight. His character could've been so much more though. Pretty much the situation with every FFXIII villain - so much promise and such poor execution.

6.5 / 10

I don't really like Tidus. I know the point of his character arc is to go from spoiled brat to responsible hero, but I never really identify with him or his reasons for becoming a hero. I don't like his character design. If I were being completely biased, I'd give him a 2 or something, but I recognize that there is depth to him. I just plain don't like him.

7 /10

I like her. Sometimes she's annoying. Typical princess.

3>5>4>2>1

yeah, they're all either mediocre or bad.

7/10

Kind of blah, typical protagonist who is outshadowed by supporting characters. She undergoes wonderful development and has some unique moments, but as someone said, she can be summarized by "What is love?" and "I don't know what I am" and so on.

There are people on there who are like "who cares about wikipedia" who I don't think deserve to be on the same list with these morons. Especially the one person who's like "who really uses wikipedia every day"... what's so crazy about that statement? She's just telling people to calm down.

Most of those tweets are moronic, granted.

I never bothered listening to Gloss Drop since I hated Mirrored.

Chapter 11 of Final Fantasy XIII is so so so so so good. If the entire game was set up like Chapter 11 (in that it gave you freedom to move around, varying enemy strengths, hub areas that branch into the other areas) it would be one of the best Final Fantasy games.

Philosophy 101 all up in here. It's a dumb question that is phrased poorly.

anyway, I wouldn't kill the kid, because life is suffering. Killing the kid is equatable to killing all humanity. It is impossible to live as a society without suffering at some point. If there's no suffering, we are essentially just sitting around in mindless bliss, and that's no way to live.

If it were more specific, like, if you kill this kid, you end the genocide in Sudan, THAT is a much more compelling debate, to me.

yeah, I'd like to hear some justifications for these 10's. Is "penelo is awesome" a meme or an in-joke or something?

5/10

Penelo is Vaan's best friend. Not sure why, since she's infinitely better than Vaan in every respect except ABS. Unlike Vaan, who is a huge annoying cliche, Penelo is a perfectly likable cliche. She's still a cliche though, so she gets a 5.

what's the big deal here?

7 / 10

likable, cool limit breaks. not a lot there, but eh.

I didn't read this topic, I just want to say that Skyward Sword is terrible. It has nothing to do with motion controls or graphics. It's just horribly paced.

Smart move by Focus on the Family

all the evangelicals are watching Tebow, they'll probably make a mint in new donors tonight

oh geez

final score here is going to be 63-7

See? Denver just can't cover Gronk. No team has proven they can, really.

I think if the Broncos are gonna have a chance here, Brady's gonna have to have at least two more interceptions. The Patriots offense is just too good, despite the stops that the Broncos have been getting so far.

Tebow can have a perfect game, but they have to figure out a way to stop Gronk and Welker. It's working for now, but it's not gonna last.

This board loves Vivi. That's cool. He's pretty good.

As for Rikku, she gets a 6/10. Mostly for her hottness.
