Same here. I usually start a game on easy and finish it. If I like the gameplay enough I will go for another run on a higher difficulty. Resonance of Fate was the one I knew that would be hard but I decided to play anyway and man was it hard but it was also very enjoyable at the same time. I never rage and break stuff…

Agree 100%. My brother is a college student with no job, he insists on playing everything on Hard and says playing on easy is for kids. It is easy for him to replay the thing 20 times to try and get past a certain point, he has time to kill.

Yessss! Especially if I'm playing the game for the story or just to see what's around the next corner. I don't play games as a matter of pride, so the difficulty I beat the game on means nothing to me and I don't trot it out like a magic pony to impress people with my "gamer" cred. With the exception of Halo. …

My sentiments exactly. I have to deal with challenging stuff all the time in the real world. Video games are my time to escape.

The most important decade of your life is the one you're living right now. Screw the past.

First, I like the new comment system. Much easier to just dive in and [attempt to] reply.

I would like to add hard-learned advice I've learned — Nothing will fix itself. Unlike childhood, there is no "next school year" or "after the holidays." This is your life and you are the only person who can affect change.

Same here.
I did this with the call of duty last year. I barely played the last couple of map packs. The last one I'm not sure I even downloaded. Waste of my money. It would have been cheaper had I just bought the first one or possibly two. Now I know better :)

Not to mention it literally put Atlanta on the map, sparked two decades of growth in the city, made the city a destination, and allowed it to beat out Charlotte as the "major city" of the region.

All of the stuff downtown was kept and put to good use (although the Braves will be moving from Turner Field), but not much in the suburbs was kept. A host city should try and keep all venues up and running after the games, because then there won't be anything wasted. I think the mistake was that they built some of…

... Not to mention an MLB stadium that the Braves so desperately needed at the time

Paid $60 for it when it came out and hated everything about it. Controls, graphics, story, driving, fighting, voice acting, etc. Just a miserable game. It's totally weird to me that it even has a 77 metacritic. I even pleaded to my friend who worked at GameStop, and he let me exchange it for Enslaved, which is one…

Richie Incognito probably won't be tweeting much today. The truth buried him.

I'm probably not even going to this gen until something I really want to play - like a completely new FF - hits the market and I want the full experience. That's the push I need to spend the money and I am so willing for system-making games. But not with a rehash of a rehash, which is what this FF is feeling like.

It came out last week and it's called Bravely Default :)

This is exactly how I feel. Part of why I loved FF was breaking into an entirely new world with a new story and new characters every time. These "sagas" just don't work for me.

Really hoping Bush is doing paintings OF his pets... imagining him chasing a puppy around with a paint brush is scaring me.

So this is the PS3 version. Kinda don't care.

really? creatures like you still exist?

I would assume the ones actually genocide-ed wouldn't do much talking at all...
