I don't think you judge yourself on this particular quirk of personality too harshly. I feel that the degree multitasking someone might do is a matter of personality. My friend programs while watching netflix. Another of mine works while watching youtube videos. I hardly ever multitask while...

Blue Dragon. Can't call it exactly bad, but there is no way in hell will i imply that its good. Oh, and its too damn easy to be classified as a video game.

I agree with the idea of what you said, but im going to pick at your examples. But don't worry, i believe its just a difference in gaming opinion between you and me. While i haven't been able to get to Persona 3 yet, and Tales of the Abyss is a bit out of my price range, Mass Effect had me...

you sir, are my new best friend. I have played both of the games that you have mentioned. FFVII, with its translation issues, started small, and grew big. But it wasn't in the stereotypical way where you are a farm boy and your village gets nuked by ancient evil. I didn't experience FFVII in its...

I had noticed that thread earlier, which i felt was a little to simple to express the true in depth complexity of how a game works. I want to be a game designer (someday...), and i though it would be a good idea to directly ask people who play games what they like best about them, or if they...

Yeah! My new best friend for not being a biased and hateful person! It would even be a simple way of combining these two forms! Traditionally, JRPGs are defined by the colorful art and complexities within a tediously designed battle system, and expects you to plod along in straight line fashion...

I though it would be a good idea to ask a big community like this one here on the escapist what you think makes a good game. What works, what doesn't, what's fun, what's boring...all that kind of stuff. Speaking myself, i like turn based strategy/RPG games, but i don't think ive actually...

I don't really think you're their worst nightmare, but more like their best friend. I buy all those old-as-fuck games too (provided some previous owner didn't vomit all over the case), and they make good money off these old games. Im the kinda guy that hangs out in there for an hour and a half...

Jeez, a lot of people act like they are shocked. You should have expected this before. FFXIII was being designed from the ground up as a PS3 game, and the 360 version is nothing more than a port. Its not like this hasn't happened before. Lost Odyssey came on 4 discs, so did Blue Dragon, and Star...

Now this means they can make more room for RPG elements! Did anyone else notice this? Multiple skills that can be utilized, towns, talking, and questing all point to a fallout 3 knockoff. Don't get me wrong, because RAGE looks awesome, so im expecting amazing things from it!

1121 songs 2 days 16 hrs FINAL FANTASY SONGS!!!! WOOOO! NERDS FTW!!!!!!

I have yet to get into Baldur's gate. What ive done so far is recruit 2 people who i forgot, who almost immediately died, and left me and some other guy at the mercy of trying to stay in the inn, but can't because the party can't take on some dickhead guarding the door. Im not gonna lie, i...

Damn right they are! Square, just becasue you delayed DQIX in the US, you lost my money this holiday! HA HA HA HA HA!

The System in FFVII is good, but flawed. The combat animations are slowed down by high level spells, and a lot of them freeze the time bar, thus allowing no actions to take place. A lot of this could be because of the PS1's limitations, but it also could be because there is room for improvement...

Stalin Vs Martians. Its an RTS that blew suck, but the name is interesting enough to give it a spot in my mind. And while we are thinking about it, Metal Gear Solid is kind of a weird name too.
