Realism has it's place,Alejandro. But I don't think everything should be realistic. Often times I enjoy hammy over the top antics. For example, I know the protagonists in Resident Evil have survived ridiculous situations when realistically they should be dead by now. However, that never stopped me from loving the series.

Certainly Parasite Eve threw around some real scientific terminalogy but truthfully it was still a blend of urban fantasy and science fiction. And you know what? That's okay! The game still had an original premise even if it doesn't carry water when held up under logical scrutiny.

Blake, your a genius! I agree Kermit needs to be "edgy" to get fans back and I prefer he goes "Metal" over "Bieber bad boy". Cary also has a point. We're onto a new genre here! Frog Metal will be all the rage!

Yeah, I appreciate "soft eeriness" in my metal too. Electric guitar shreds by themselves don't do as much for me these days. I consistently enjoy what Katatonia puts out. I need to look up more of their songs!

I usually prefer physical copies but once a hardcopy game is hundreds of dollars I'll gladly compromise with a digital download. lol.

We both think of grinding as the same thing. Wish I could give an "insightful response" about Ni No Kuni but I haven't played it yet. Many of my friends have and loved it though!

I don't mind a bit of grinding in an rpg but it's usually a good story and memorable characters that keep my interest. Without those two later things grinding becomes more monotonous for me.

I still want to play Revelations,Adam. I've read from many sources it tried really hard to go back to "traditional RE" yet retains the smoother modern gameplay. Also, who doesn't want to see Jill in a skintight wetsuit? lol.

RE 4 is my favorite RE so far. I think it did a good job of capturing some of the creepiness of RE 1 despite being a lot more "open".

It's weird how many fans see RE 4 as the first death blow for the series. At least for me there were certain parts in it scarier than Nemesis and RE 2. (Regenerators and the boss fights stand out the most)

Yeah, I know VC2 is one of the better games on the psp. It's kind of a rat-race though because there are so many other good games too. Gar!

Psp games are mostly still very affordable on Amazon,Andrew. However, I'm buying them up fast because I know it's an older system & an overall price hike will begin at some point. Valykria chronicles 2 is already climbing rather quickly for example...

Buddies playin some tabletop rpg goodness......I can get behind that! (thumbs up)

I'm sure I'll enjoy 3rd Birthday.....I just don't expect it to hold a flame to the original. lol.
