I beat the 1st story in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. Now onto the 2nd one.

So how long has it taken some of you on your ME1 and ME2 play throughs? And how much side shit did you do in the assignments area?

1st run ME2... 80+ hours.

No guides, lots of checkpoint restarts and save reloads.

Now I can beat it in 60 with everything down (including DLC) besides mining all the planets.

This just makes me think of the latest Bombcast. They were talking about how goddam stupid the KH and FF titles are. This is just one of the shining examples.

And yes, I'm expecting the groan. IDGAF because I couldn't agree more. Those titles are beyond fucking dumb. Birth by Sleep? Dream drop Distance? Dissidia, Deuodecim (sp?), 358/2 Days? It's unfathomable how dumb they are.

My ME1 playthroughs were all around 24 hours and I did just about everything I could in them but no DLC. My ME2 playthroughs are around 40 hours, doing everything and most of the DLCs.

Thanks. Was just trying to get a comparison. My first ME2 playthrough was around 30 hours, but I didn't do much of anything with the side assignments. I'm around 11 hours or so right now in ME1 and again haven't done much side stuff.

Unfathomable how dumb you are.

[KNUBB]

Also you really are gonna pitch a fit about the title of a game. God that is dumb. Oh jeez I don't understand the title. C'mon Twigg. That is real stupid.

Yeah, it's just me that feels that way. Those titles are Japanese fucking non-sense, and not in the good 'Shadows of the Damned' way either.

I wasn't attacking the game, just the title. But I know you will defend everything about it.

It's funny how you can just say that "X game is butt cheeks" and that's all well and good but I voice my opinion about the ridiculously shitty titles of those games and I'm so far off base.

It's Knubb, what else can you expect?

lol cuz when I say Such and such is booty it is from the GAME. Something I have played. Not something like a title. That is just stupidity

Seth up in here being the peanut gallery and shit. You dudes are fun to talk to, but ya'll are some of the dumbest people at the same time. It blows my mind sometimes.

[j.hen]

Didn't realize when you do the advanced training upgrade in ME2 that you don't get an extra power, it just replaces the one you picked in the beginning...

So you're telling me a game's title has absolutely NO importance whatsoever? Do you have any idea how many people don't even give a game a second thought based on the dumb ass title?

Yeah you do dummy. You know how many people are dumb like yourself.

Yeah, I'm the dumb one asshole. Have you ever heard of marketing? A games title has a lot to do with how it's perceived by consumers in the marketplace. Hence the reason Japanese games have been struggling the past decade compared to their Western counterparts.

For instance, I can all but guarantee you that Binary Domain is going to flop based on it's name alone.
