The parentheticals! They do nothing!

Scratches: Director's Cut has been on my game pile for a little while now (although I already know what happens). I'm giving it an earnest go, now, and so far it's been both distressingly eerie and annoyingly obtuse. I guess that comes with being a Myst game, but damn, I wish I didn't have to quit and check out GameFAQs every ten minutes.

Great music, though.

Finally got my copy of Phantasy Star Zero on the DS. This game is awesome! It's managed to build off the PSO system so well, like the charge attacks, and the new classes. It's all do nicely done!

Finally completely finished up Scratches, bonus chapter and all. I'm a little disappointed with the big mystery, somewhat.

[spoiler]When you beat the main game, you're chased out of the mansion by a horrible creature living in a cold prison cell in the basement. Now, I had assumed at first that the creature was actually the physical personification of the evil mask deity that haunts your dreams and waits behind doors, and that your fruitless attempt to banish him had failed.

Turns out, as explained at the end of the Last Visit bonus chapter, that the creature is actually Robin, a thalidomide baby turned man. Sure, it makes more sense, but it's not nearly as cool.[/spoiler]

Oh my fuck, Phantasy Star Zero is actually pretty good.

Sega made a good sequel to a much-beloved classic.

Does PSZ actually have online play?

Norondor · « **Reply #2467 on:** November 14, 2009, 12:52:11 PM »

It does, yes.

So, the new Ratchet & Clank game is pretty fun so far.

I've spent a couple hours just cruising around in Ratchet's ship blowing shit up and doing odd jobs while Ratchet blares rock music over the comm system. Good times.

I'm gonna go with "yes".

Caveat RE: PSZ: Don't buy it to play solo. It's all but impossible to beat any mission without friends, as your AI "allies" will do everything possible to ensure your defeat short of actually attacking you.

Walker · « **Reply #2472 on:** November 15, 2009, 12:31:25 AM »

Nefarious is hilarious as ever. He's really the best villain in the series.

Doom · « **Reply #2473 on:** November 15, 2009, 10:17:40 AM »

Way to go assholes now I have to buy a PS3.

New Super Mario Brothers Wee-hee.

The Koopa Kids are back with (ugh) their cousin, Bowser Jr.

and they kidnap Peach with a BIRTHDAY CAKE.

I think this all was in the trailer, but come on. How can that not be awesome?

I've played 1 stage, and it was beautiful. Spinny-suit is weird.

Cannon · « **Reply #2476 on:** November 15, 2009, 02:21:30 PM »

It's pretty tasty, yes. The design is questionable.

A two-player game is pretty mad, so I can't imagine the chaos a three or four-player run would bring. Considering how easy accidental death is, it'll probably remind some of Four Swords as much as any Super Mario Bros. game.

YES PLEASE

...as soon as my sister finishes her homework, we're embarking on multiplayer madness.

Cannon · « **Reply #2478 on:** November 15, 2009, 03:11:13 PM »

Yes, my brother and I played the game itself. We'll tear into the multi-player eventually.

So far I can't tell if it's an excellent rental or a sound purchase; we went half-and-half on it, after all.

The Penguin Suit is a Blue Shell merged with a Frog Suit. Bleh. If there is not more inventive use of the Ice Flower, I'll be ready to write this thing off.

Does anyone have any experience using PCSX2, the PS2 emulator? I found an English patch for FF12 International but after playing through the Reks bit and gaining control of Vaan, the whole thing crashed on me. I could have sworn that someone in this community was using the emulator to play FF12 (international or otherwise), so I'm just checking to see if someone is aware of a problem.
