I was one of the first 10 people in line when I arrived at 10:30pm. Not as many Nintendo DS's as there was when I went to the Wii Pre-order at EBgames, but I still got to pwn another Luigi user in MKDS. By the time 12:00am rolled around, the line had well over 100+ people in it. As I am typing this, there are most likely still people waiting in line. I'll post about the game when I get a chance to play it, it's time for some sleep. -------------------- I can still edit my signature. Yup, as it is now the 30th day of May in the year of 2010.

This was some rant I wrote awhile ago regarding the game:

QUOTE

Most people are aware of my preference on Final Fantasy as a series. I happened to grow up upon the seventh game's release, played it, and befuddled put it down before completeing it because I found no charm. I played and beat Tactics for the Playstation, rented the ninth game, and then purchased my PS2 for the release of Final Fantasy 10 (due to peer pressure). Hating that game as well, my stance on the series remains unalterable; a motif filled series with a bland colorless script and story, and equally dull characters; a conglomeration of otherwise archaic elements like random battles and plebian, linear challenges where no skill is generally required. Can anybody actually correct me? Maybe. But I assumed that Square would have shaped up by now. Obviously not.

I recently acquired some money by selling some of my old games, and decided to buy Final Fantasy's sister with a more easy-going and charming aura: Dragon Warrior VIII (I think - it's the newest one). The copy I purchased had a demo for Final Fantasy XII, and I know impressions of this demo have been around since forever, but I always seem to miss the boat. I played all of the demo segments, and I honestly have to say that Square hit a new low. The game isn't even interactive, much like a recent Penny-Arcade comic establishes; it touts a battle system reminiscent of Everquest, which amounts on a scale of "interactivity" to a crazy transfusion between Gameboy Camera slideshows and Solitaire for the computer. Magic doesn't do jack****, the AI for things like bosses are ever so predictable, and the easily navigable maps make the actual game feel like an engine test. It's almost unfathomable to me, that not only has this game recieved mass amounts of attention and critical acclaim, but that it's been in development for so long and heralded as "the next Jesus Christ". What is this?! Gamers must be blind. Are they playing an entirely different game than me?

But I've recently been presented with the fact that the demo is just, well, ****ty and plays nothing like the final version of the game. Maybe I'll be a cocky asshole and rent it rather than buying it, because I feel like a real weeaboo schmuck going in early morning and plopping down some *hard earned* cash on a game that has more substance than I originally thought, but still not excellent.

And at this point in time I'm not sure I want to touch any games that aren't excellent. Because I'm so cool and bad games leave scars on me like scathing bullet wounds left on the baby-soft skin of elderly world war II veterans.

You MUST have a Dual Shock "2" controller to play it. I bought my PS2 used, and I've used the PS1 Dual Shock "1" Controller for just about every PS2 game I own(except for Guitar Hero). The Dual Shock "1" is essentially the same thing as a Dual Shock "2", there should be no reason why my controller doesn't work. Oh well, I guess I'm off to buy a new controller. -------------------- I can still edit my signature. Yup, as it is now the 30th day of May in the year of 2010.

So you're saying I should use my N64 controller with my GC or else it's dumb?

No, I'm comparing 2 controllers that are exactly the same, not two different ones.

Except Dual Shock 1 was less useful than Dual Shock 2, has a few differences, and has outdated tech.

Does that mean you shouldn't be able to play games with it?

So wait, this was released in the same week as Dark Messiah and Phantasy Star Universe.

Great planning.
