Scott - You ever play any VtM or Bloodlines?

VtM? Or do you mean CotM?

If you mean Circle of the Moon, I've played, but never finished it. I thought it was a good game, but I played it after Aria of Sorrow and it seems a bit weak in comparison. I'm going to go back to it eventually, because it really was a good game and it's challenging having to Metroidvania with only a whip.

As for Bloodlines, I've yet to beat that as well. I've gotten pretty far, but eventually game overed with both John Morris and Eric Lecarde. It's been a few years since I've played it though and I've not sat down and powered through it. If I remember correctly, I had a hard time playing as Lecarde, because "Castlevania has whips". Which is funny because I loved Symphony of the Night and had no problem with it. Also I like how they used the story of this game to tie in to the actual Dracula novel.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for PC looked awesome in a review I saw of it. So I got it off of Steam. But when I actually started playing it, it wasn't as fun. Funny how games are like that. They can look awesome, but you aren't really sure if it's good until you have a controller/keyboard in your hands to see how it handles.

Yeah - I haven't played it myself -but- I've heard other friends say the same thing about the game...

Just finished DMC - fantastic game.  I haven't played a bad Ninja Theory game yet, and they just seem to keep getting better & better.  It's a shame this game didn't sell better, I hear that Capcom is going back to the old stuff if/when they make another game in the series.  Not only did they nail the gameplay in this one, which is a huge accomplishment on its own, but they tell a really good story that shows they had a great love for the source material.

Oh well - my dream is that their next game is a PS4 follow-up to Heavenly Sword, using everything they've learned since making the original game.

Still playing Bravely Default. Im really enjoying this. Im about 40 hours in now and have access to a majority of the jobs.

So far, my line up is : Tiz - 10 knight with 9 freelancer back up, Ringabel - 10 ranger with 9 thief backup, Edea is 10 red mage with 9 spell fencer back up, and Agnes is 10 white mage with 8 performer back up. The jump from 8 to 9 in exp cost is unreal. Ive revived the wind, water, and fire crystal. Character levels are all at 41. Been working on rebuilding the town a lot too. Some neat stuff comes from there.

Game is awesome and definitely a high chance at one of the games of the year.

I thought that was a super weird name when playing the demo too - then I watched the intro to the full game, and when they give his backstory I just chuckled.  It's pretty clever IMO, and poking fun at a genre cliche.

Yeah, I thought that naming the MC for Radiata Stories "Jack Russel" was kinda funny & cute  ;D
