Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I think part of the problem is developers and publisher pressure to pump out games on such a regular basis is affecting the overall level of devotion and development to titles and franchises.
They sell so damn well initially, that they get coddled up in the safety blanket and rehash and repeat the same things but add a new coat of paint and over a long enough timeline, miss out on creativity, innovation, and ultimately substance that made the games great to begin with.

I remember when FF games were a real big deal, because they took forever to put together, and came out once year or longer.
Heck, almost all AA games back during the PSX and N64 days were a big deal because they successfully kept the limelight and anticipation in the creation of their new title, but somehow justified the wait with the quality of the title. But now it just seems like we're always getting Call of Battlefield 3 Space shooter person with spiky hair RPG every month or so now. It's difficult to keep caught up, to even determine if they're any good to begin with. It's only a matter of time before you just know the next one is gonna be no better or different.

Anyways, I'm done ranting about the direction of the gaming industry.
I don't have enough knowledge or experience to really judge anyone or anything therein. Just simply noting an observation in the trend of buyer's remorse.

On a side note: What would be the best way to find a Gamecube controller, memory card and a copy of Wind Waker?

gamestop or ebay

I figured as much, thanks :)
Gonna look for good deal on Ebay.

As annoyed as I am with SE and other gaming companies I will say this. The day SE actually goes down, I will likely shed a tear. Because at that point, I will feel as if my entire childhood has died and there is little future left. XP

WOAH WOAH WOAH... don't say ***like that

We have a long ways to go. FF XXVII will come out

The good news is the remnants of Sqauaresoft and their creative capacity still live on with Mistwalker.
Sadly they haven't really made many titles other than Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon.
Still waiting to see if The Last Story will ever reach NA shores.

I suppose it's probably not so much about the actual games or the people in the company. So much as it's always just kinda been there. It just seems odd to think of gaming when there's no game, crappy or good, coming out by Squareanything. I'm probably just being silly. :x I blame lack of sleep. I should really take that nap I was talking about. XP

i stopped buying new ff games after x-2. mostly cause i got so into 11, but i've played 12 and it didn't draw me in at all really.

after playing ocarina of time on 3ds all i want is a 7 or 8 remade in a similar fashion. /dreams

Eight hours of sleep didn't feel like enough. /yawn

sleep more. you don't wanna play lol. dumb bear is dumb.

I just saw a taru in Ru'lude called Lud.
Is that one of yours Lu?

XD I'm sure it's just because I'm sick. I need moar IP to buy the dumb bear!

If it was, I would of sent you /tells until you blisted me

Didn't you have a mule on Fenrir that was named something like:
Totallynotludoggy

Notludoggy
was canceling that id so I wanted to make something stupid.

Since Scragg and Jaerik made this site together, if they both +'d a post, who would come first at the bottom of the post? :o

I think they've done it before and Scragg came first.

Oh, sweet! Thanks Laffter xD this is the stupid stuff I wonder about sometimes.

Hmm, also took a nap just now for about 5hrs and I just didn't wanna get up, my nose keeps running and I keep sneezing >:U.

I blame Yomi.

Use their clothing as tissues >:

Hummm.

I dunno what to do :|

Trying to find the post where they both +1'd. I could have sworn it was the first post in the Skyrim thread...
