But you know what kinds of game stores are the best? The kinds where they sell refurbished games, you know, that come in mind condition, but less expensive than brand new. Yes, you should totally buy games from places like that. Especially if I'm on the shift. >_>

You work at a Gamestop?! eek  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Nooo... Gamestop sells brand new games at high prices.
I work at Game Domain, where our games are open box in a mint, like new condition, that come for 20 - 35% less than retail price.

That's great. Too bad I don't know of any stores in my area that are like that. sweatdrop

The closest thing to that is the mom and pop store by my house where my husband bought me Front Mission 4 opened but brand new for $20. I haven't seen a new copy of it for a long time so I thought it was a good price. For used games, I usually want the best condition if possible. I'm thinking about contributing new jewel cases to the store for their PS1/DC games. Some of the cases are very cracked or dirty and they would look so much better in new cases. 3nodding

As for FM4, I really enjoy it and I'm usually not a fan of tactic games. I think there's an online one coming out, but since 4's sales were poor, they probably won't release it here. sad

I haven't played Front Mission. What is it like? Real Time Strategy?

Strategy (I don't know the proper term, but it's turn-based) with mecha. biggrin  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Ooohh, okay... Kinda like Advance Wars?

I haven't played Advanced Wars, so I don't know. sweatdrop Wikipedia calls FM4 a "tactical RPG." I don't agree with that. No magic is used. XD

Yeah, it's like Advance Wars and Field Commander. Do you get to choose different types of attacks for your units? Like, whether they use one type of weapon or another? Or are the units classified under their own sections, and each only does one type of attack?

Yes, different attacks may be chosen, and different weapons may be equipped (someone can have a shotgun and machine gun, while someone has a rifle). You can customize parts and buy new ones when you're not in battle (there is a weight limit, so you have to be careful on what you choose).

Reviews thought the game was so-so, but I would recommend giving it a chance (though it doesn't hurt to read a few review before you make up your mind...).  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Mmm... If they can change weapons and stuff, that would qualify it as an RPG. Magic is overrated. I'd love to play an RPG that has no magic in it.

I thought RPGs always had magic in them. Guess I was wrong. razz

I wish there were more survival horror RPGs like Parasite Eve...

Please move all none "Resident Evil" topics to the ::Grill 13 Restaurant::.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, it's because people say, "People who play RPGs like magic, so we must include magic!" But it's not like it's a part of the genre qualification. I mean, like Parasite Eve, that's not technically magic.
But there really aren't enough RPGs out there that don't utilize magic.

EDIT: Wellp, back to discussing crappy games in this topic. Well, a certain one, anyway.

I'm not sure if this was already posted, but in Resident Evil 5 it's implied that at that time and setting Jill's dead.  

[Guitar Hero King]

i saw the trailer and saw the tombstone about jill's death. jill cant be dead, i'm thinking that it might be a fake death. i mean in resident evil 3 she left raccoon city and the city was nuke. jill remain secret since RE3, we dont know what happened to jill. anyways we have to find out and see RE5 comes out on march 13th. i think capcom is playing with us and see the trailer that shows the death of jill valentine. i mean if she really dead or not? so if jill really dies, then that would be so depressing in resident evil. i like jill valentine in resident evil and i play as her in the game.
