CLYVE'S PROFILE

I will say that I think lives are necessary for this type of game, otherwise what in the world is to prevent you from just sitting there while you blow up over and over again until you reach the boss?

Granted, I haven't played the game yet so I don't know if when you die it restarts you earlier in the level, if it does then my point is invalid. But if you restart exactly where you blew up at, then lives are the only thing keeping you on your toes.

I do think gamers in general now are used to having their hands held to a ridiculous degree, to the point that when they're presented a challenge that they can't complete with a couple tries, they give up. Games keep getting easier and easier to the point of Bioshock like stupidity (where if you died, you were simply teleported back a few steps, with all enemies still just as damaged as they were). Harden up gamers... or go play Wii.

Edit: This is not aimed at hali, by the way. Just a general observation.

those XP graphics clash BADLY.

Meh not really but those palm trees are removed.

Black on white clash, this is more of grey on white.

Chewbacca is a wookie?

Suikoden Crisis.

Looks like a hexagram to me.
