At least Gary's voice actor's decent.

The dialogue is wretched, though.

Jaggy artifacts and colour bugs (especially when transitioning from video back to gameplay.)

It sort of ruins immersion every time shit spontaneously turns green for a split second. Otherwise one of my favourite P+C games.

I just cant into Tactics; every time I play it I end up getting my ass kicked, I can barely get past the second story battle, and I lose most of my crew in the process.

Something about this game slaps a diaper on my brain and yet I routinely clear SRW / SD Gundam games. This is true because it rhymes.

He only pointed that out because every game on his list was a PSX game and that might seem odd given all the /vr/ systems he could have also listed games for. You are retarded.

Ehh... i never had a problem with the camera[i played in Mario camera mode though], but if you want bad camera on SM64, play the DS remake, if you stay quiet for a minimal second, the camera will slowly turn towards your back and its likely to fuck up sometimes, that and there is no Mario icon

I wonder how the dialog for those horror games that were made in Japan with English speaking VAs came to be. It seems like some were probably written in Japanese, translated to English by a Japanese who had only basic knowledge of English and was then read by people who decided to give no input as to what sounds natural or not in common English. I think DON'T COME is a perfect example of this - it baffles me why no one on the VA team would point out that any native English speaker would actually say "Get away from me!"

It's a slow slog to trudge through. I know everything on Liberty Island and I always complete it flawlessly. It's just a royal pain to go through it again.

I guess, but compared to the rest of the game it just felt boring and disjointed. I know many people consider the Richenbacker to be the lame compared to the Van Braun, but I thought it was alright, it wasn't until the body that I started to get a bit bored.
