To each their own, but to me it just looks tacky, like the old PS3s with the "Spider Man" font. If you like it, that's great and I'm happy you like yours, but I've never been a fan of "shiny" electronics. Matte finishes FTW, IMHO. I lol'd at this. :awe:

I was 13 when the game came out, and I must have played through the game like 4-5 times in a row... :awe: You should try it again. Look past the primitive graphics (even for SNES) and you will find a really funny, quirky, yet highly satisfying RPG. The music is some of the best I've ever...

Hell will freeze over and the devil will don bowties on his horns and dance around in a pink tutu before this happens. In a word, never.

And Korean Starcraft players will rape and pillage you when playing them online. I just don't get how so many Blizzard fanboys continually prop up Diablo/WoW/Starcraft being the lone savior of PC gaming. Not everyone likes these kind of games, you know. Sooo.... Your argument = fail.

Well, both are really good displays with very similar internals, with differences boing down to choices in internal electronics and firmware. I would just go for the one that has the asthetics that you like the best.

Give me a 26" CRT with a 25" viewable at a good price and I'll put this HP LP2475w out to pasture so fast it will make your head spin. The only things I don't miss with CRTs is the weight (e.g. making your desk sag, moving the damned thing), and convergence/geometry issues.

No way. The thing is ugly as sin and looks ghetto with it's "blinged" out look. I'll stick to my Jasper system 'till it breaks, thank you very much.

My thoughts? Pretty good game (especially if it's dawn before I know it while playing) through and through. The combat is more streamlined and definitely faster paced. Voice acting is really good. Graphics are great for a 360 game, and even on the PC @ 1920x1200 with 4X FSAA with supersampling...

I have done just that. It's a damn shame that Mother 3 will never be released outside of Japan. But with NoA getting burned on sales with Earthbound, the strong emotional story coupled with cartoony graphics, and magical fairy transvestites (magypsies), this sadly will never happen. One can...

I have lots of fond memories of this game. I loved the personality and quirkiness of the story and dialogue, the awesome music, and some of the battles are truly epic. The Cave of the past and the final battle with Giygas is one of the most memorable experiences gaming has ever offered me. Been...

Thanks! I really put a lot of thought into that post. And I know all to well about threads degenerating into nothing more than fanboy-ish flame fests. I've been over at [H]ardForums for a while now and wanted to get a breath of fresh air by joining up here. Sometimes the eilitist attitude...

I agree, quite the anti-climax.

This. I played DA:O for not even that long and it nearly put me to sleep. Personally, I think the Western medievil RPG thing needs to be put to bed or re-thought from scratch into something fresh? And why can't we get more RPGs like Earthbound/Mother 2 or Mother 3 with a story that sucks you in...

Hey guys, first post. :) Anyways, I pretty much agree with what Cyril said in his blog post. Things have reeeeeally stagnated in terms of graphical advancement, not neccesarily because of UE3, but because of the dominance of console hardware/software sales in the market, and publishers' near...
