I think it's normal and natural for them to feel sort of like odd man out at the beginning. What they do about it is the difference. Most men will find their groove in time, through both supporting the mom and bonding with the baby as much as possible. (Two words - NIGHT FEEDING.) Some...well, let's just say they go…

Update - I just finished up with Chapter 2, and I'm still enjoying it. The linear story and maps don't bother me at all. It's kind of nice not to get side tracked by a side quests and random map markers ****I'M LOOKING AT YOU FO3 and FNV****. Combat is a little monkey flips the switch, but like the linearity, this is…

Well...he *IS* 14.

I'm new to FF, and I started with FFXIII. I was so confused at first. I was like, did I miss something? I thought these were stand alone games... was there one before this? What is this purge thing? Why am I here? I actually quit thinking I needed another game. I didn't. So, I did what any self respecting gamer would…

I don't recall acting like it was over. I simply said we're allowed to have different opinions and we should agree to disagree. Try picking a fight with someone who gives a crap. Soo-Soo!

Glad I'm not the only one. Mass Effect 1 is my favorite game of all time, and the only one to this day that I will play over and over again. I think I'd played ME1 3x by the time I settled down and played ME2, only to turn around and play ME1 again as the credits rolled...and damn if this doesn't make me want to play…

Holy crap. That is an awesome set up.

Fallout New Vegas for me. It combines the traditional narration of Ron Pearlman and the style of the previous games with a cinematic sequence introducing you to New Vegas and several key factions as it sets the story up and ending with a literal bang. "Truth is, the game was rigged from the start."

Definitely popped into my head, along with Mass Effect's intro. I think this one is better to an extent because you're really not expecting to get spaced in the first five minutes of the game (if you played it new).

It's Cerberus...how would they not?

I actually like that to an extent, but when I'm trying to see if my Shepard "Looks right" it can be annoying to not see her face until the end of the sequence. But, yes....It's up there with my favorites. I feel in love with Mass Effect in the intro.

Luckily, I have that one in my stack of shame already. Thank you for not posting something that will make me spend more money. :P (I recently discovered Final Fantasy, and my PS3 is getting quite the workout.)

OK, time to add this one to my PS3 stack of shame.

It was a rhetorical question.

Again. Agree to disagree. Obviously, that's not the popular opinion or everyone would be screaming, "Yay!!! They got rid of toddlers!!! No one ever did anything with that life stage!!!" But, um...they are pretty much screaming the exact opposite. We're allowed to have different opinions. I happen to believe Maxis is…

Oh, please don't let my daughter see this. I can just hear her now saying she'd been kicked out of the dorms at UT and I owe several thousand dollars in repairs.

We can agree to disagree, because IMO, removing an age stage is removing the whole concept of story progression.Literally, growing up is leveling up IRL. Why wouldn't it be in a game that is supposedly a life simulator?

Yeah, I've noticed that, too. I've been gaming for a very, VERY long time...like my first computer game was a text based adventure that ran off a cassette tape. But, I've only been hard core gaming since about 2007, when someone talked me into BF2. I get a lot of "You're not a hard core gamer if you didn't play the…

Yep. Completely agree. I'm just one person out of 7B. Only thing slightly rare about me is my height, at just under 6', making me taller than about 95% of women in the world.

I am...I suppose I'm something of a rarity, but just because someone Sims, doesn't mean we don't play other graphics intense games.
