I finally learned that if the game isn't turn-based then I probably won't like it and shouldn't waste my money. Too bad there's not a huge selection of turn-based games for PS3 but the few ones that I have are all quite addictive and I don't see myself getting tired of them for a very long time. I've been playing XCOM since Oct of 2012 and still haven't gotten bored with it.


I love turn-based games myself so I get what you are saying.

In that case, I highly recommend you pick up XCOM: EU or XCOM: EW (latter is better, imo). It's the most fun I've ever had with any videogame in my entire life. Music, graphics, turn-based combat, etc... is all superb. It's looks and sounds so friggin' awesome on my big plasma HDTV and 5.1 surround speaker system.... Just make sure if u decide to get it that u get the disc version and not downloadable one as the latter one has serious issues with base defense mission. The multiplayer is lots of fun too.

Perhaps we are just being whiny bitches and Destiny was not as bad as we thought?


No, it's pretty bad.

Anyway, for a game I regret buying? Maybe Torchlight II. I only say "maybe" because I'm genuinely not sure if I'm the one who bought it for me, lol.

The Raids are a lot of fun, and are quite challenging though.

Destiny gets a lot of hate, but it is not as bad as people will make you believe. It is also not as good as fanboys will say.

All in all it is a good game that could have been better and failed to meet people's expectations because of Bungie's lousy, and often shady, communication/marketing skills.

Execution and bad decisions were/are the game's biggest problem.

Don't know the name of the combat system which is why I put it in quotes. But the Neverwinter/DA:O-esque combat system was what I was reffering to.

Might be going pretty far back, but Tales of Symphonia's sequel on the Wii, Dawn of the New World is among my most hated games of all time. The thing is, I pretty much knew I wouldn't enjoy it as much as the first one with all that I had read on it and its details, but nothing could prepare me for the horribly irritating, unlikable, and pretty poorly-playing lead characters, the asinine menu-based overworld, the cheap knock-off excuse for the series' combat system (nothing flows, there's no technical application to artes, and returning characters have that ridiculous level 50 limit), and any aspect of the game that could even remotely be considered a step forward (like full movement across the battlefield) was completely outweighed by the aforementioned problems and thensome, and that's not even getting into how shallow the gameplay was made in order to push its awful monster mechanic. I honestly pity anyone who had started the Tales series with this game and is cursed with lenience towards it. It doesn't deserve anything but the dust its collected.

Another would be The Last Story. In my opinion, definitely the weakest game of Operation Rainfall. I found its linearity to be mind-numbing for an RPG, the gameplay seemed unique on paper, but in execution things eventually just become a matter of the player sitting back while the AI's do all the work, and all the extra touches to the combat to help liven it up really just feel clunky. The theme was one of the most grating cliche's around, most characters I found annoying, and the game's length is lacking. Where this game was pretentious with its attempts at supposedly "reviving old tropes" considering it really just accentuated what people hate about the modern JRPG. It's basically the fisrt half of FFXIII.

I found Dragon's Age combat to be lame. Really really lame. Then again I find the combat of most of these games dull and robotic/unintituitive.

The best version is the PS3 version cause Sage Goku. Oh, and SSJ Bardock was just a cash cow. But the game gets boring too fast. I mean, I guess adding custom soundtracks was something to spice it up a bit on PS3/PS Vita, but it just gets boring far too fast v.v

Because Destiny's gunplay/gameplay/battle mechanics are second to none and are actually a lot of fun and highly polished.

It's cool to hate everything Destiny, but the actual combat is damn near perfect and controls like a dream.

There is no reason to assume that.

They are amazingly adequate.

Have you played the other Dragon Age games? If not, you should. Playing them before Inquisition makes Inq better.

I'm kinda surprised you aren't liking Inq more than you do, since you like the ME games and there's a lot of similarities, particularly in character quality.

Maybe you should try playing another class or something.

Maybe... What system do you have it for?

Did you try the demo out before you got the game? Should've done that to see whether or not it was the thing for you.

Only if you have no friends to play it with. It was built as a co-op game. And I got a Naruto related costume for Goku on the 360 version when I pre-ordered it.. You sure that's PS3 exclusive?

I loved SSJ Bardock. Super Vegito should've been a regular unlockable though like the rest.


Also, thumb up @ the mention of the Tales of Symphonia sequel on the Wii. **** that game.

I'm surprised too. On paper it has lots of stuff I like in games. But I don't know why I can't get into it.

I'll have to try another class. This whole sneaking around and crap is not working for me.

I could also choose Gothic 3 as a game that I regret buying.

I've played it twice, once as a warrior and once as a mage. Both were fun. Haven't tried rogue.

Like I said, definitely helps if you've played the other DA games. Makes the whole thing richer.
