LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

[JakeOfAllTrades]

I have somewhat of a pseudo-addiction to New Super Mario Bros. minigames, particularly the table games. Bloody Luigi screwed me over too many times, if I was playing for real money I would be broke, were it not for my resolve and ability to quit when I'm starting to lose then start again later with better AI chances.

I'm also considering if Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is worth while, and I've heard good things about it.

Have some bad things from someone who put in over 40 hours:

Story is useless, but the cutscenes are mandatory. Name your hero and clan the most insulting name you can think of, just so the cutscenes are more tolerable.

Combat's slow as hell, but it beats the shit out of the PSP remake of the first game (laaaaaaaaaaag). AI can be a real bastard too: if a weak ally makes a run for it, it's not rare for an enemy to run right around your clump of team members and go right for the weakling out of spite.

You need to grind a few hours in to beat a mission. In fact, you're expected to grind a lot in (even more) useless side missions if you ever hope to finish the story.

And lastly, the game still looks like a fucking GBA launch game. Not a single improvement at all. Let's not forget that the character design is the stupidest shit even concieved (the hero has high heels, some boot funnels, a pizza cutter sword, another sword, a book on his pants, and random circles of metal tucked away on his bellbottoms)

I liked the job system though :D

It's a really good game. The law system isn't shit and a lot of the new jobs are pretty good. The only problems are that the accuracy system is sort of out of whack and the graphics haven't made that much of an improvement. I'd recommend it if you like strategy games and/or RPGs.

So what do you guys think about Super Mario RPG on the Wii's Virtual Console?
