  • Zeus did you finish Beyond Good And Evil? I've had it for months but just finished it today. The last hour is better than everything leading up to it. Fucking rad!

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The final boss battle. The direction-reversing thing bugged me - simply because if you happened to guess wrong or accidentally hit the slightest wrong direction it was your ass - but on top of that I found it a smidge boring. Once you got into the DR section, it was just "stand there for five seconds, see the boss appear, hit the opposite direction + A, get one shot on him, rinse, repeat." About the only time I was bored all game, actually.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely fucking LOVED the game - just thought the final battle could have been better.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>That game is one of the best games I've ever played, with the only real weakness being the difficulty level (it was a joke). But it's spectacular in every way imaginable and had an awesome ending. Everyone should play it</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'll have to disagree, I thought it was great. It was the first time I used more than one button to fight :-) And I liked the whole sequence at the end (and the culmination of the story), it was great</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Thanks. I might try it out anyway, what with the positive buzz it's been getting. But I really wish companies would stop raiding the philosophical pantry for titles that have no bearing on anything.</div>
