Oh god, here we go.

Final Fantasy has sucked tremendously for over ten years. Last good FF game was FFTactics.

Why can't Square Enix die in a fire already? Stupid Japan.

:( No, I don't want to start a major war here, but it's true that they have produced great RPG franchises, not to mention a slew of other awesome games. I suppose that's a bit of an opinion, so it can't be "true", but I mean, come on, they've released Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest, and countless other fantastic games.

Er, you must not play many RPGs, huh? Like I said before, I don't want to start a war, but pretty much every RPG worth mentioning has ripped an idea or two off Final Fantasy.

This is getting good, real fast.

Well you don't have to be a sissy about it, no one asked for you to deny your beliefs if you lost.

Er, you must not play many RPGs, huh? Like I said before, I don't want to start a war, but pretty much every RPG worth mentioning has ripped an idea or two off Final Fantasy.

First of all, Square Enix don't make RPGs.

I would say however that many people would love to have Final Fantasy's level of success. No one can honestly deny the popularity and success of the franchise.

But you cannot really rip off success without ripping off other elements.

Just because you seem to think all those games suck doesn't make it so, and it doesn't change the fact that those games were all mostly extremely popular.

You got me there, to be honest the only two Final Fantasy games I enjoy are VII and VIII.

So, anybody start playing Street Fighter 4? I was expecting to fuck this one up royally, and was pleasantly surprised. Either way, I started playing a couple days ago with Bison. He's a great character and depends on charging his moves. The thing is, i keep getting owned by people like Ken and Ryu when they spam moves constantly. And wahts more, I always keep getting stuck in a corner, and even my charge moves are pretty useless getting out. I'm pretty noob.... Anybody play?

It took me a long time to realize something in MGS4; Screaming Mantis does nothing but laugh at you the whole fight. Crying Wolf cries, Raging Raven fucking RAGES, and Laughing Octopus obviously laughs also. Threw me off. Awesome, awesome game though...

SUNLIGHT!!!

The Beauty & the Beast Unit is a somewhat tribute to the Metal Gear Solid series bosses; as a result the name of each member of the Beauty and the Beast Unit is derived from the name of a member of FOXHOUND (from Metal Gear Solid), their weapons are a derivative of Dead Cell members' weapons (from Metal Gear Solid 2), and their emotions similar to the Cobra Unit member codenames (from Metal Gear Solid 3):

* Laughing Octopus - Derived from the camouflage and name of Decoy Octopus, the P90 submachine gun and tentacles of Solidus Snake and the emotion of The Joy;
* Raging Raven - Derived from the name and flying accomplices of Vulcan Raven, the explosives of Fatman and the rage of The Fury;
* Crying Wolf - Derived from the name and fighting style of Sniper Wolf, the railgun of Fortune and the emotion of The Sorrow;
* Screaming Mantis - Derived from the name of Psycho Mantis, the thrown knife weapons of Vamp and mixture of The Fear and The Pain.

Making the game halfway decent and I'll play

HD remake with an online play mode would be awesome.

I wish, but Capcom doesn't have the license for Marvel games anymore, and they are busy making/made that bullshit Capcom vs Tatsunoko bullshit (it sucks :( ).

No, they don't have a license to create new intellectual property using Marvel trademarks, but they can still distribute their old property. It sucks, but it's true.

If it's going to be an HD remix, then that would be pretty different. It's very possible they may have renogotiated the terms of the contract with Marvel, but as far as we know now (which is very little) we can't really tell. Who knows, maybe there is a whole new agreement with the two companies and we might just see number 3 down the line, I certainly hope so as long as it's not like SF4 (no air blocking, really?).

I hated MvT. I tried it out for about half aday over at my friend's place... ugh. I really wanted to like it but it doesn't cut it for me.

Is that what they are doing, then? If so I might just buy one of those consoles, finally. MvC2 is one of my absolute favorte games of any genre. I've had so much fun for so many hours with my friends just beating the shit out of each other.
