The Force Unleashed

Ozma, Alto, Luca, Ranka, Sheryl... THE FINAL FIVE CYLONS!

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Macross F news.

And let's be honest here, there is a glut of mediocre games out there.

I generally don't buy games on reviews. Actually, I don't think I've bought a game based off of a good review. I tend to stick with genres and development teams I like. The only games I generally buy outside of this is because of word of mouth or seeing someone else play it (like Grand Theft Auto III or Jedi Outcast).

While we are on the subject of reviews, it should be noted that genre games are often critic proof. For instance, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI just came out for PC last week. Now, I haven't played it yet, but I do believe this game got a sub 7 review on the game sites. Fact is, I don't think any of the Koei historical simulation games ever do well, and I've been playing them for something like 20 years. But Koei keeps putting them out because there is a loyal and dedicated fanbase that loves them, including myself and my best friend. How can I expect a game journalist, who is usually playing Halo or GTA, to get this type of game?

8 rocks face. Gives you a totally different perspective on Genome, though. I always thought he had fought and lost, but this shows him to be a traitor to spiral-kind and the cause of their destruction.

Heard it wasn't all that great, then a friend of mine bought it and she told me it stunk. Another case of the reviews being right.

Which is a fairly average score. Good games routinely get around 9+, 8 and under are generally average to poor. One site's reviewer can be genre biased, though, its best to cross reference.

I call BS.

I have to say, Furuichi's turn is just a wee bit cliched. I think we all saw that coming a mile away.

1. I don't recall "destiny" being the word he used. I'd have to watch it again, but I am pretty sure what Ozma is talking about there is a strange coincidence, as Mao may have been the team leader of the project Ranka's mother was working on. 2. How could they clone Roy, he was long since dead at that point. 3. Probably related, but we just don't know.

No they didn't, but that's ok. I wish I could steer you in the right direction, but I'm just not as avid of a gamer these days.

This thread is just a wee bit out there...

PLenty of good ones out there, you just picked the wrong ones.

Ranka fans.

Speaking of mediocre games...

People who are saying that Alto are spreading false rumors.

I don't see the indecision.

If Sheryl does die, whatever she does before her death will end with her being remembered as the savior of the Frontier fleet. That's my feeling.

Alto did not choose Ranka. I am telling you, everyone goes their own way, they each have their own destinies.

Sheryl is a far more compelling character because of her tragic story. Which is why she is better thank Ranka, who is just a sci-fi plot device.
