That threw me at first, too, but then I remembered that supernatural elements have been part of Tomb Raider since the beginning. The hyper-realistic tone of the rest of the game and the emotional moments just make them stand out more and feel really wrong. Which is exactly what the game was going for, so it totally worked for me.

I just realized today that why so many girls like Kingdom Hearts, because there's shit in there that appeals to them.

Disney has traditionally been a girl's brand, Girls like anime type stuff and there's one girl and two guys (sort of like a love triangle). All elements of Kingdom Hearts

Seriously though, I'm gonna preorder Kingdom Hearts 1.5 for PS3 relativity soon. And probably buy a new copy of Monster Hunter for 3DS since...... I lost mine....... on vacation. Thanks MH3U save data transfer tool backup!

:eyebrow I love Kingdom Hearts.

I wasn't a fan of the card system, but on the GBA, it made sense, since what else were they supposed to do? (Did I just contradict myself?)

Same here. Speaking of which, I bought a used PS2 Slim off of ebay for $50. I plan to get Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, since I have never played them for myself (I played them at friends' houses, but that doesn't count), Persona 3: FES, Shadow of the Colossus. Maybe Persona 4, I watched a Let's Play of it not too long ago, so I'll probably wait on that.

All good decisions.

So I've been watching some Nintendo Directs and I'm getting the feeling we're seeing Nintendo become Sega. A company in the last throws of being a Console maker. The Wii slowly declined, the Wii U looks to be going the same way, and all their money is coming from Handhelds. It may come to a point where Nintendo only makes handhelds and third-parties games for other companies.

LOL, Nintendo will make another console after Wii U I can guarantee you that. Everybody in gaming now has to be so fucking unnecessarily negative about everything, especially on the Wii U. I'm not gonna be one of those people who is saying "wait until after holiday 2013" because I own a Wii U a PS3 and a 3DS and I play good fucking games no matter what system. People buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games, hell the aren't at least Nintendo isn't intentionally running themselves into the fucking ground by having 50 million dollar game budgets for every project and failing to reach that. I say all the systems out now and coming out are all good including the Wii U.

They can make all the consoles they want but that won't help declining console sales. Look at the data, look at the games on the horizon, Nintendo looks nearly exactly how Sega looked a month after the launch of the Dreamcast.

I'm playing in the Olympus coliseum, grinding is only fun in this game.

What are you going to say next, that the games people want won't sell the Wii U LOL.

No :)
