I'm finally playing Final Fantasy X for the first time. Well, I've played bits and pieces of the beginning before whenever I was at my cousin's house (up to the infamous HA HA HA HA HA scene), but now I have my own that I intend to finish on the PS3. So far I'm having fun and liking the story, but I must've blocked how bad the voice acting and some of the localization was out of my memory. Like seriously, Tidus talks like a 12 year old brat even though he's supposed to be like 20 or something? And while they redid the models for the major characters, they didn't do anything to the NPCs, so it's like wonderful high def super polygons talking to... well, WoW's old models. That's an apt comparison.
I've finished FFX2 before, and I actually enjoyed that (despite the hyper saccharine change of tone there, the combat is awesome), so I might end up going through that again after.
I've also started playing Sleeping Dogs, or as I've begun starting to call it: "Fuck You, I'm a Bus." Because fuck you, I'm a bus. Fuck you on the road, fuck you all on the sidewalk, fuck you driving in the left lane like a bunch of savages, I'm a bus. But seriously, it's good so far, though the melee combat is really dull until you start getting skill upgrades.
