I will never forgive game informed for spoiling KOTOR for me in some random ass magazine. Assholes.

That's pretty awesome, I love old video game merchandise for some reason.

I remember wanting that very figure, along with Aeris. I could never find them. :( All I could ever find was Barret.

I have Cloud, Aeris, Barret, and Sephiroth. I think they also made a Tifa, Vincent, and Red XIII, but I never got my hands on those. Would have loved having the Red XIII, especially.

If that's running on native Genesis hardware, the range of the color palette is impressive.

The Pitioss Dungeon in FFXV. I enjoyed most of FFXV, but this ruins a lot of the goodness for me. Absolute bullshit way to make a dungeon "challenging", wasting my life over and over and over again doing the same fucking thing to get a few metres further than I did last time before falling into the doom again. Utterly horrific level.

Yeah it dragged on way more than necessary. At least the loot and rare item you get from it are worth the ordeal though.

Tried Skyrim for a good few hours and just couldn't get into it at all. All it made me want to do was restart a brand new save file of The Witcher 3....

So that's what i did, and absolutely loving it. Just an amazing game. It's up there with Shenmue 2 for myself.

I could never get in to Skyrim myself but so many people swear by it so to each his own I guess. Personally though I'll take the witcher 3 over any elder scrolls any day of the year.

Yea, the worst about it too is i did go into Skyrim with an open mind. I wanted to like it, and gave it a fully dedicated days playthrough. But.... I can't describe it, as to why i didn't like it. I didn't feel it, or there was an emotional disconnect perhaps. Probably since it's more of a natural RPG with complete customisation, where The Witcher does give you a specific character and story to follow in a somewhat linear fashion.

Either way, it's not much of an argument i would say would last long. Outside of a comparison between the 2 games, The Witcher is still essentially a modern day masterpiece, with widespread love across the globe for it, both from critics and fans alike. Definitely cannot wait to see more of what exactly Cyberpunk is.
