I was at the mall the other day with some money, But as usual if if Don't get anything there i probably wont get much in games for the next two months or so. Gamestop really didn't have shit besides a used copy of dirge, I was a bit iffy at first Because i thought square was just cashing in on the FF7 name, But it's actually a pretty good shooter. The game has a pretty decent storyline for the most part, But it really comes down to really fucking good mechanics. There's alot of weapon custamization and it really relies on the ability to shoot and not miss. It's good the general RPG exploration elements in there too, And it's got pretty decent graphics but it's mostly all playermodels where it really shows..
The Verdict is in, It's a good game to waste a few weeks on and it's a came you will probably occasionally come back to

That's weird, everywhere else it says the game sucks.
I also heard stupid capcom is removing all the voice acting and replacing it with subtitles for the DS Mega Man ZX. Couldn't they just leave the japanese voices and put subtitles?

Don't ask me. I've never heard of a company doing that before? No budget for subtitles maybe?

Actually, it isn't Capcom of america the problem. Apparently translations and localizations are done in Capcom of Japan and Keiji's studio is the one that didn't want to waste time doing english voice overs.

*gags* Dirge of Cereberus? The same one with the wonky camera and the massively linear levels? The same Dirge that's "kill shit, get card, repeat?"
I really think they should have spent less on the graphics and put more emphasis on...you know, gameplay.

Awful, awful game. It's like GTA-style targeting and shooting.

I bought the Japanese one months back when Play Asia had it on sale. It was insanely mediocre. When you compare it to something like Max Payne, it just feels really, really off, and the RPG elements didn't mesh too well.
I hear it has a good soundtrack though.

Appearantly, a lot of emphasis was switched between the western release and the Japanese one, don't know what they changed, I just know it got heavily altered.

Couldn't they just leave the japanese voices and put subtitles? Capcom of America... They are bastards, I think they just like to annoy us westerns You think CoA are bastards? What about Capcom of Europe? Number 1. They gave the importing rights of a large region to EA! EA!!! And naturally EA only moves a small portion of Capcom's games to that area. Number 2. They like to bastardise Megaman game covers, re-writing all of the attraction info to appeal to a younger demographic, which couldn't understand, nor handle it. Not to mention that the cover art itself is normally something taken from a manual with a star flare in the background! RAHHH!!! Number 3. Their home page just plain sucks in general, and actually entering is not for the faint of heart.

Weird, I wonder why they left the japanese voices in for Megaman X6 on the PSX, then? Oh and as for the topic? I'll probabaly buy Dirge anyway, despite what reviews say (Though the few I've seen have been postive so far)
