I've never played dragon quest, but FFX was good.

which is the better game - you are only comparing two objects, not three or more

you use the comparative form of "good" (better) instead of the superlative (best)

Never mind, didn't understand the purpose of the thread until after I posted.

Where's the poll?

X was pretty crap, relatively speaking to the Final Fantasy series.

Glad to see another Phantasy Star fan. Though in the PS series, PSII was supposed to be the best. IV actually wasn't that great a game... but I liked it a lot.

I liked IV too, couldnt beat the profound darkness with the big you know whats. She would always kick my ass. I played IV before i played II and couldnt get into II.

Did you really think so? I thought that FFIX was pretty bad, and ruined a concept that could have worked out well. VIII, I liked, but most people didn't. And then going all the way back through NES and SNES days, there were some timeless gems, but it's a bit hard to compare those to today's because they're so different.

Final Fantasy X lost me for a few reasons. The graphics were fantastic, the story was okay, but I didn't much chare for the characters, their personalities, the linear point-to-point style gameplay with the minimap in the corner pointing the way, or the lack of a true world map to explore.

On a smaller note, I also don't care for the voices. I wish I could just turn them off. They ruin the experience for me rather than enhance it. But that starts to tie in to the "it's way too cinematic" complaint, which I wont go into.

I didn't care much for the sphere grid idea either. I don't think it's too difficult to come up with interesting ways to customize your own characters without arbitrary systems and interfaces that require learning curves, babysitting, or more item gathering. (Though it wasn't nearly as bad as the draw/junction system, and for that I'm thankful.)

Personal little gripes against the game aside, I still didn't care for it very much. I just didn't care for the way that it played, all things considered. I've had a lot more fun playing other RPG's, especially other Final Fantasy games.

I liked FF 8 too, not sure why other people didn't.

also nothing got me more hooked than Counter Strike before the whole Steam 1.6 version Fiasco. I think I started playing it around yr 2000 and got so addicted to it my life revolved around it. I dont think I have ever been more addicted to any game longer than Counter Strike. I dont care what anybody says about this game. Still one of my favorites for the plain fun before steam jacked it all up
