Agreed. At least in regards with talks regarding RPGs. BG is actually one of the few places where there isn't like 90%+ people hating on FF+SE anytime an FF game is mentioned, which is refreshing.

Also the complaints regarding Vanille are all wrong IMO. Her voice is music to my ears <3 (obviously because Vanille is awesome). Yes I'm complaining about people complaining about Vanille.

Speaking of battle dialogue though... it's what made the game for me in both TLR and FFXIII (besides Vanille herself, it was her talking in battle that made FFXIII for me).

I got TLR just because I found there was a decent amount of battle dialogue in the demo (if there was none, the game would be dull for me).

Though I can understand Rush does say some odd things in TLR (one line for example is "they caught us with our pants down"). You can always not set him as union leader though (he only says that as union leader).

One of my complaints regarding FFXII was that it had no battle dialogue at all. To me, it was boring grinding in a dungeon with dungeon music with no battle dialogue. They don't have to make it excessive, just maybe a 1/10 or 1/5 chance a line is said every spell cast or something.

FFX-2 and FFXIII did it well IMO. FFX had battle dialogue too but it was really rare (though I think they increased the frequency in the international version).

Though I can understand dislike for battle dialogue in certain situations. I haven't played Xenoblade but from watching videos, I noticed that it seems they talk over each way a bit too often (in battle). There definitely should be a delay between how often they talk so they don't talk over each other.

You know what game does a great job of this? Resonance of Fate.

fucking MW3, if they aren't giving me teammates who can't tell a domination point from their asshole, they're having me play 2v6 knowing my stubborn ass won't quit until my head explodes. Really though, the 2v6 was just the tipping point. I played a lot this weekend and when my normal group wasn't on I was getting the worst players I've ever seen on my team. I feel like I never play against them and they're only reason to exist in life is to make me rage at their awfulness. I don't expect to play with 2.0 K/D (mine's only 1.5 or 1.6 anyway) players, but holy shit at the things they do. I don't even understand it. Then kids are like, dude it's just a game, it's supposed to be fun. I cannot fathom what twisted mind enjoys having 4 people looking at the same fucking door, only to get rolled by 1 guy behind them. again.
The level of awful when I'm solo playing is just pathetic. Oh, and ya I did go -3 this round because the announcer refused to stop saying Enemy this and Enemy that spotted. I only get 2 stingers in one life assholes and at no point in this match did we have something even resembling a tactical attack or defense, which just further shits everything up. I swear to myself again and again that I won't play without my team, but here I am. My win/loss overall is 67%. When I play solo, I'm legitimately surprised that my team wins. It has to be closer to 10%. Fuck how stupid I am to keep doing it.

You are saying there is a thread on BG where I can legally say Fable is the worst gaming series of all-time?

Excellent.

Don't quite understand the hate for the Fable series. Fable 1 was really enjoyable despite the shortness of it. I do however agree that 2 and 3 dropped the fucking ball. I don't even know what the fuck was going on in that development department.

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-01-17 19:47

No. Fable is the GREATEST RPG series of all time. It's true because Peter Molyneux said so.

I dunno if I'd call it the worst, but it was definitely horrible. I'll admit that my first time through Fable 1 I beat it without leveling anything up, so that probably made it even more boring, but I went through all the skills at the end to see what they did, and none of them seemed like they would've made the experience any better. Didn't play Fable 2, but I beat 3, and yeah... Had some laughs playing Co-op with a friend, but other than that...

Also, gonna agree with the low volume for voices thing. First thing I do when I start up a new game is check Options for subtitles cause of shit like that.

And since I'm at it. Fuck you, Capcom. Now I have to pay, like, $80 for Mega Man Legends 1+2 cause you probably won't release on PSN.

**Imitarate** · 2012-01-17 20:03

Am I too late to bitch about the post-New World Computing Might & Magic series? I liked Heroes of Might & Magic too, guys, but I didn't write 4 games worth of fanfiction about it. Holy shit.

[Edit] And while I'm mentioning old games ruined by new companies, going from the masterpieces that were the two parts of Ultima 7 to the cold santorum that was 8 and 9 was like a dozen cockclaps from the EA board of directors.

**Chrius** · 2012-01-17 20:06

I feel like fable 2 and 3 weren't as good as I wanted them to be so it felt like a letdown

**Jaxzer** · 2012-01-17 20:19

Oh there's a thread for this? Played 10hrs of skyrim and it's fucking abysmal. Either dark souls spoiled me or my tolerance for bullshit has hit an all-time low. The combat is laughable, "DRAGONS ZOMG RUN" right? Wrong. Skyrim makes fighting dragons boring (see dark souls for what a real dragon encounter feels like).

Graphics? I'm not even talking about the piss-poor framerate issues, the game looks last-gen. "BUT, but, the WURLD is so BIG!!". If it means sacrificing quality they can shove it, dark souls was quite large as well and looked fantastic.

**hey** · 2012-01-17 20:22

Fable 1 was good. Fable 2 was ok. Fable 3 was dumb.

**Weltall** · 2012-01-17 22:36

All Fable games are the definition of shit.

FF12 was the worst one of the series that was offline; it was the only FF I have never finished because it was so awful.

I'm sick of people calling American action games RPG's because you can level a few stats.

Bye, for now.

Fucking LOL. You have 0 taste in games then man. You prefer X & XIII over those? You're saying XIII is better, really? Characters that were good in X & XIII put together: 1.5. Auron (1) and Sazh (.5) everyone else is a whiny cunt. Vaan and Penelo were kind of annoying, but the rest of the characters don't fit the typical FF cliche. Besides, you're just seeing the story from their perspective.

I will agree Fable 2 & 3 are pretty much garbage, but 1 for it's time was a decently fun Action RPG.

**Renzokuken** · 2012-01-17 22:57

Bought Disgaea 3 cause I was in the mood for a good JSRPG. Played it long enough to unlock the silly item world thing which seemed like pointless grinding to me.

By that time I had a pounding headache cause of a combination of the terrible graphics, having to spin the map to see shit, and the damn cursor falling off the ledge of the map and disappearing. Had to turn it off and not sure I'll give it another shot anytime soon. How the hell can Sony allow someone to release such terrible graphics on the PS3?

Thank god I bought Valkyria Chronicles at the same time. Sega did a decent job on that game.

I agree with you that XIII was abso-fucking-lutely shit but XII was awful too. I get that they tried new things, and I get that the combat system was supposed to be more "intelligent". But fucking christ the story was fucking awful and I did not fucking care about any of the characters, they were so forgettable. The battle system was boring, it was the step towards the abomination that was XIII and that step was making the game able to play itself. X? I enjoyed X way the fuck more than XII, despite the horrible english voice actors and some of the awkward-ness of the cutscenes.

Are you playing on the hardest difficulty? Or the easiest and then complaining its too easy?

Graphics? I'm not even talking about the piss-poor framerate issues, the game looks last-gen. "BUT, but, the WURLD is so BIG!!". If it means sacrificing quality they can shove it, dark souls was quite large as well and looked fantastic.

Are you playing on a console? I'm playing on PC and really had no complaints about the graphics, but I am running a fair amount of mods as well.

**Jaxzer** · 2012-01-18 00:20

Dark souls doesn't ask you to set difficulty, it just fucks you in the ass and doesn't ask questions.

**KuroTsuki** · 2012-01-18 00:30

If you played Demon's Souls first, Dark Souls doesn't even do that. It slightly fingers your ass at worst.

Skyrim does look pretty terrible on consoles. Compared to other games, at least.

**djzombie** · 2012-01-18 01:04

I wasn't referring to dark souls, I was asking about skyrim. If you're playing on anything less than the hardest difficulty, you shouldn't be complaining about how easy the game is, was all I was trying to say. Though I haven't finished it myself yet so who knows if even the hardest difficulty becomes laughable at some point.

**Caiyuo** · 2012-01-18 01:16

a.) bayonetta still not naked
b.) final fantasy tactics 2: the 50 Years' War: fuck an advance still not a thing
c.) final fantasy tactics was never copied in any meaningful way such to the point that I should now hate tactical rpgs because millions of them were made in the last decade because they are so great
d.) no gundam spin-off of aforementioned non-existant final fantasy tactics imitations
e.) no gundam and/or giant robot games that's like an alternate world history where they started making robots in the 15th century so they're gigantic knights and can loosely explain how the fuck that is possible
f.) also the same as 'e' but in an world war II era alternate history setting like ring of red and valkyria chronicles; make more of those games
g.) vagrant story 2: how ashley got his antlers back also not a thing and presumably never will be
h.) could never get that giant ass golden sword at the end of Vagrant Story as far as I know which is pretty fucked up given how much fucking weapon creation there was to do to end up saying "yeah but you can't have this"
i.) that weltall end up marrying a girl with hamburger tits just like c. viper for saying FF12 is bad

okay more of a wishlist. does this bitching have to based on actual games
