Was that also the year that the Desperate Housewives game came out? If so that seems like a citb critical year.

No, that was 2006. DH is funny but not very good so my methodology holds true

It looks competent enough, which is all I really expect from Mass Effect gameplay. I'm more interested in whether the story and quests are going to be any good.

Well, that, and the class-less system is kind of interesting and the new version of the Pull and Throw biotics are hilarious and I want to play with them.

Looks uninspired to me, like woah I can take cover behind the Mako now because the devs figured out how to trigger cover animations behind movable assets.

That's what has been worrisome to me all throughout Andromeda's development cycle. There's no exciting new features, no bold directions in the narrative, just endless callbacks to the original and memes.

Enjoy. Origins is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The combat feels so drat good and every class is viable. (protip: pump dex points into alistair. A tank doesn't need hp when nobody can hit him!)

Check out Awakening too if you haven't played it. They turn up all the classes to 11 and make them insanely OP. It's not hard, but it is a nice little power-fantasy.

Dragon Age has a lot of really really well-done elements like the origin stories themselves and the way that all player choices weave into the Landsmeet, but it's mired in 50+ hours of some of the slowest most boring-rear end combat I've ever seen in a CRPG. It feels like everybody is fighting underwater and good lord there is a lot of it. God help you if you go to Redwall first and try to get the mages' assistance. At least you can break it fairly early on with Mana Clash or some similarly OP mage spell.

I've played through DA:O I think 4 times. It owns. I think there's still some plot things I never resolved, too.

I actually like how slow and deliberate the combat is. When I played it on console, it was too messy and annoying because you can't really use the full zoomed out Baldur's Gate style.

Yeah I played the whole shebang way back 7 years ago on PS3, and really loved Awakening. Everything looks so much cleaner on PC, especially the interface.

I'm playing Sword/Shield because I did Rogue and Mage already, so I'm gonna ditch Alistair as soon as I can get Shale.

Maybe we can finally hammer out the definitive, objective list of the best final fantasy games of all time. I think I'll make the one safe choice and put Final Fantasy III DS at the bottom of the list. I look forward to the constructive and well-reasoned arguments the thread has for the other titles while I go elsewhere and wait for this to die down.

FF3DS is not at the bottom, but that's because the original FF3j and any version of FF2j are below it.

Ff3nes is better actually, since the final boss can't one shot you with no recourse
