So the music sucks and I feel like an idiot for buying this after getting my first wage packet. EDIT. The worst part is my entire reason for buying it is that I didn't want to pirate the game through an emulator. No good deed goes unpunished right?

OP, I totally agree. I had a similar experience, at the end of University I was drinking full sugar energy drinks and eating sugary snacks regularly and ended up putting on 3 stone over a period of roughly 6 months, on the 30th of May I was 16 st 2 pounds. Its only after I finished University...

Nope. Health regen only serves to enhance an experience where combat isn't the main goal: I.E. Portal. In a shooter regenerating health (when it isn't a special ability) is just frustrating, it kills the flow and pace of a game. Part of the reason Half Life 2 has endured as a classic game is...

How many references to obscure RPGs? Several and now lets add some more: Lost Odyssey, I'm fairly certain this was the intention but: There are two kinds of characters, immortals and mortals. To cut a long story short, Immortals have much better stats and auto revive after a few turns, but...

Aside from the big twist I knew nothing about the story for the first one. The classes were too complex, I had no idea what to pick and I could tell that whatever character I made would be blighted by terrible uninformed decisions. It's a design flaw that you have to commit and choose your...

I'm actually sad. I wanted them to keep it if for no other reason than to watch them burn.

Yeah. Just had to restart after accidentally spawning a set of Sectoid's which critical hitted their way through my squad.

Thanks. The whole inch forward thing I appreciate, but its when Sectoid's seem to be able to critical hit my squad even in full cover and I can only ever seem to get 65%/45% accuracy on my shots.

I'm serious, I can't do the first mission without the Aliens getting lucky and popping a member or two of my team. The few times I've cleared the first mission in the game I've ended up with some horrible base and had to restart. And I wouldn't say I'm bad at the game either I already finished...

Microsoft tries being nice, is met with criticism. Good job internet. But in all seriousness, this should be encouraged, Xbox Gold should be more like PS+. Okay so its not exactly the best game in the world but its a start, and the game is quite fun.

I have no problem with them making a mobile game. But it was teased so much!

Scarim, I've been facing the exact same dilemma. I'm gonna go with the 3DSXL version, I figure what I save in electric bills will help to even out the more expensive cost.

Might I also suggest that this is because the Xbox was also not an especially popular console with a large library of games?

Seriously, what a train wreck. This game is absolutely broken, it doesn't tell you about how its mechanics work, weighs you down with tons of pointless moves, and has a blocking technique which doesn't always work and is incredibly vague. And then there are the bosses, oh the bosses, if its not...

Turn off Hardware Acceleration in the options menu. Whilst I kind of agree, I think the shock games all give a very different experience from one another, and kind of reflect on the state of games in the period they were made in. SS2, boasts an incredible trifecta, great plot, great setting...
