[Attention] GFF Gamers Month ver. 3

I'd like to sign up for some day late in the month, let's say the 28th. I'll browse through my backloggery and find something good.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm gonna procrastinate for as long as possible (honestly, it's how I do my best work) and thus sign up for the latest date still available, the 29th. Nothing in mind yet, but I should have something picked out relatively soon (relative to my procrastination, not to any upcoming date).

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey guys, sorry about the delay. I've had a lot on my plate over the last two weeks, so I just wanted to make my post before the Gamers Month started.

So far everybody's game choice is good to go. There have been no duplicates. So if the rest of you guys could get the rest of the game choices into me I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm actually in the process of writing my review right now, so I hope to have it finished by tonight and be ready to place on the Forum on Tuesday.

We still have 7 slots available, so if anybody is still interested in doing a game review for the GFF Gamers Month just give me a holler. I don't think its appropriate for one person to do multiple reviews because in a way we're kind of limiting the amount of games we can talk about. So even if we can't get the entire month filled out, we'll just leave a blank space and continue from there.

Any other questions guys please let me know.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

As I told you in my PM, I'm down to make another review toward the end of the month. I'll leave the date to your discretion if you choose to do so.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just a heads up, the first review is up and ready to go. Please keep all discussions regarding the games throughout the GFF Gamers Month in this forum and this form only. I hope you enjoy it. It is my favorite DS game of all time.

GODDAMNIT! Where the fuck did February go?! I'll, uh, write my review tomorrow!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's cool, from this small blurb I've experienced, and to be honest I was reading on easy mode, this is the best review of all the reviews this year.


Sorry Paco. Couldn't help it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I hate you like Mo0 hates vegetables.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's a great review AoL, except for this bit:

Quote:

You know lately Square Enix is kind of funny company. In recent years they have been a company that has done whatever it takes to milk out their existing popular franchises. We have seen so many kingdom hearts spinoff games within the last 5 years. We have seen final fantasy retro games constantly get rehashed and released for a variety of different systems. We have even seen the continuation of the final fantasy series take little missteps here and there in recent years because it seems like that they'll do whatever it takes to piss off their audience that has stayed loyal to them for so many years.

I dunno but it looks to me like you're saying Square are crap for rereleasing the same old shite year after year and milking franchises but then in the same breath you say they're crap for annoying their loyal audience, which I would read as "Not churning out the same old shite year after year and milking franchises". I find it hard to see how one can criticise a company both for stagnation and innovation in the same paragraph.

Anyway, it was good review and if I knew where my DS was I might even be tempted to look the game up, I doubt it costs much these days.

No worries Shin, when I look back on it. I don't think it came out the way I wanted it to.

I think maybe the biggest thing I wanted to point out even though I don't think I did a very good job of it. The World Ends With You was something very innovative and different for an rpg. I was just annoyed with square enix fans at the time because they tend to be some of the most bitchiest gaming fans on the face of the planet. I was sick and tired of people thinking that square enix was only good for final fantasy and kingdom hearts games. Knowing full well they could put out a very great original product from time to time.

I was speaking idiomatically.

PACO and GB, I see somebody who haven't written their reviews yet!

It'd be smart to let them make up on a day that is free or haven't taken up by someone yet.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm working on mine, damnit!

I can't believe I still haven't played Grim Fandango. It's effectively the only LucasArts adventure game I haven't played at least once.

Great review, am going to go play this game now.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm convinced the reason Paco likes it is because you can't die in it.

You're already dead!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Will you fucking stop making tired jokes and fix the home page feed so that the article show up in it already?

Were you playing GFF on easy mode when you posted it? Articles aren't recorded unless you're playing on normal or higher.

Guys.

Guys.

He had a walkthrough.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Speaking of walkthroughs, one of the reasons I've put off playing Grim Fandango is because I've read that some of the puzzles are heavy on the kind of counter-intuitive dream logic that everyone complains about in adventure games. Encephalon says the puzzles are rather simple, so I'm wondering if I've just had bad luck and found only the whiny reviews or what.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Whiny reviews. If such exist for Grim Fandango.

Yeah, the puzzles are not always based on real world logic, but they make sense within the game's world. There's probably about two proper stumpers where you won't know how to do what you're trying to do, but a lot of my friends have played through the game without any need for a guide.

The game's biggest issues are on the technical side. There's at least one (rare) game-stopper bug that can get you permanently stuck in the game, so keeping multiple older saves is always good. And on modern computers the game can be that bit more unstable.

If you're intent on putting off playing such a great game, at least pretend you're waiting for Residual to finish.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, take it from the guy who plays everything on VERY EASY. The people who couldn't figure out their way out of this game are the same kind of speds whose math education was 2+2=JELLO SHOTS and think that peeing inside a girl is how you make babies.

For real though I was going to check this out for you, because it sounded like a bug. Maybe the vB upgrade broke it or something.

That's about when I looked at the thread list and realized they're not showing up as front page articles because they're not being posted in the Front Page Articles forum.

Fixed that for you Paco.
