Haven't played that one. Liked Fire Emblem, though. ALMOST got into Civilization, but never spent enough time with it.Saphra Deden wrote...

I'm so freaking hyped for Enemy Unknown. Haven't played an XCOM game before but it reminds me of Fire Emblem from what I've been reading.

Ok what is it about the actual gameplay that you hate? remember no spoilers
I think the gameplay will be fine, great even. ME2 had great gameplay (when I say gameplay I mean combat) so if it is at least as good as ME2 it will be fun.
Hopefully the music is good as well.
However that isn't enough for me. I'd rather be able to get invested in the story and feel motivated and connected to my character and other characters.
I don't think that's going to happen.
The story is going to be frustrating for me, not fun.
I'd rather play Gears of War where the story is much more of a sequence of events to give us an excuse to hide behind chest-high-walls and shoot ugly scaly monsters.

I was thinking more Civilization/Total War.
You're missing out, man. Generations 3 and 4 brought some really interesting new mechanics to the table. 5 seemed like a bust, though.GodWood wrote...

I'm personally am looking more forward to the next Blazblue than ME3. That a fighting game developer like Arc System Works of all things is more capable of planning a more cohesive series than BW shows how overhyped the latter's writing is. If that wasn't enough, Blazblue's story mode provides an actual branching narrative with tangible consequences(different opponents) whereas in ME all one gets from their "choices" is just throwaway dialogue or getting a blue explosion instead of a red one.
Random factoid: The original Pokémon games were actually Red and Green. FR and LG were a salute to that.Saphra Deden wrote...
Leaf Green/Fire Red was kinda fun.
Though I resent not having a proper Blue remake.
Actually, in the right environment, you can still find a bunch of people that are up for friendly battling/trading, and the older games still have a fairly large crowd of play--wait a tic, you had friends?I enjoyed D/P, but I also realized that Pokemon had gotten a little competitive and tedious for me. Just not the same as hooking up a link cable with my friends and kicking their ass.
I miss those days.
It's unfortunate I never managed to secure a link cable. The only 'battles' me and my friends had was arguments over who was better based on stats alone "Pidgeot or Fearow?".Saphra Deden wrote...

You know, I raised a pretty boss Fearow in my copy of Fire Red during my last playthrough. Didn't know that many great moves, but dayum, Dat Attack and Dat Speed.GodWood wrote...

(It's ****ing Fearow!)
Dictatoring? Ehhh, more like micromanaging, watching all my baby cities grow up, and stomping on anyone who tries to touch them.It's a good way to indulge in one's desires for dictatoring.
Assuming one has them.

Well then charge in blind, use your favorites, and screw all the other crap. Your team doesn't have to be perfect. Mine certainly never is--I wind up using "suckier" Pokémon because I happen to like them better, my EV spreads are all over the place since I just let 'em grow organically, and I don't even glance at other people's movesets unless I'm really, really bored.Saphra Deden wrote...
No, it's too tedious. You have to worry about natures and EV's and there are just too many damned Pokemon.
It was way better back in the day when we didn't always know what we were doing.
I confess, the original reason for my strict loyalty to Fearow was the fact that it was my first Pokemon and my brother had tricked me into believing it evolved into something 'really awesome' if I leveled it up high enough. Naturally it didn't and the thing ended up being my strongest pokemon, thus to justify this I'd tell everyone I did it because of how awesome Fearow is.AdmiralCheez wrote...

Screw the rules and play for fun, man.
But I have to admit I kind of like how much variability there is now. More room to really play, make it "your team."
See, that's actually my favorite thing about Pokémon right there: It's all just maths dressed up as cute critters.GodWood wrote...

Fortunately I discovered the wonders of maths and was able to prove mathematically that Fearow is in fact awesome (or at least in comparison to Pidgeot)
