So uh...FFVII:Dirge Of Cerberus is out...

[Jolly Joes]

...who gonna take one for the team and get this supposed train wreck?

[J]

I want to, but can't - maybe I could rent it...

[Optimus Prime]

With online features removed, haw haw.

Seriously.

You'd have to pay me to play it.

[PC0]

I've heard it's really, really good. So.... to judge a game before ever playing it, I dunno, but that seems rather lame and weaksauce. Oh and about the removed online play, it was removed because it requires the PS2 hard drive anyway, which few in the states even have. AND it was replaced by like, 40 odd bonus missions. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.

Who told you this? I heard more people say awful things about it san's the cutscenes and the music. I have yet to hear anything else good about it.

I dunno, that statement seems sort of weak seeing that games like 50cent Bulletproof exist. XD

General opinion of people who matter (Read, not GameFAQSers or hardcore Final Fantasy Fans) says the game is average, 6/10.

I HAD an HD before that PS2 blew up. Who the heck makes an online mode dependant on having an HD that's not a MMORPG thing on the PS2? I mean, Outbreak seperated users and non-users, but didn't cut out the majority of owners. How stupid were the devs of this title in this respect?

Who told me? My best friend, who actually owns and is playing the game as we speak. Beats the hell out of any web forum or internet source if you ask me.

That's fine for you, PC0, but forgive us if we trust a multitude of firsthand sources over the internet over a single secondhand source over the internet.

Hey, hey, I never said, "Believe me it's great" or anything, I'm just saying that a lot of internet sources have also rated it fairly well. Seeing as how there's so many mixed feelings on this game, I think it's best if you play the game first before making statements like, "You'd have to pay me to play this game" and what-not.

Sidenote: Ilascott seems to like it as well <3

My interweb source are usually people on Message Boards who owned and played the game. They say it a mediocre game which problems stem from the sluggish controls.

The average score on gamerankings for DoC is 56%.

That's fairly well?

I have no interest in the whoring of FF7's characters. I have not seen Advent Children and want nothing to do with it. Ever. Compounded are the things of which I have heard, such as Vincent's cape taking up most of the viewing area if he tries moving, the control issues and that the failure of the online portion was so BAD in its native Japan the servers are due to be or have been shut down.

Who here would only play Bubsy 3D if they were paid?
So yeah, you would have to pay me =\ $5 plus a free copy for teh weeen.
