Walking Dead Season 2 was a heavily flawed game compared to the first one, and I really don't understand why so many people still love it as much as season 1. Like OP said, the entire game just feels like you are watching cutscenes with interactive dialog 90% of the game, and then you get to walk around and click on something a few times in each episode.

The biggest irk for me tho was the game's pacing. All the episodes in season 2 were very short compared to season 1, and it made the entire game feel like it was rushed through production... I also didn't like the way how they "disposed" certain characters in the game, as it really felt like the game writers just couldn't figure out what to do with a certain character, so they would just kill them off in a really dumb way whenever they inconvenienced the game's plot.

I mean Telltale games have always had the problem with your "choices don't matter" in many of their games, but the only choice you make in the entire game that actually makes a difference in season 2 is at the very end of episode 5.

So the other day I stopped by the local game store and bought myself a Dreamcast with an extra controller and two VMU's. As soon as I got the system bagged I went over to check out the DC games on the shelf, but unfortunately all they had were a million copies of NFL 2K and not much else...

So as soon as I got home I looked up top games on the Dreamcast and I kept noticing that Skies of Arcadia was pretty much on every single list of the best DC games ever. Despite the fact that most of my favorite games of all time are SNES JRPG's like Earthbound and Chrono Trigger, I just never got around to playing SoA for some reason...

Is this game really that good? Has it really aged that well since it came over 15 years ago? Most mint copies of the game usually sell for around $70-$80 which is pretty damn steep for an old game but if the game really matches it's legacy than I won't mind taking the plunge.

What are the good and bad things about it? Give me an idea of what to expect!

Obvious trap is obvious.

Sounds a lot like a Stevie Wonder song.

@foxhound_fox: "Mega Man doesn't make sense in Smash Bros"

Mega Man was one of the most iconic games of the NES era.

"Sonic doesn't make sense in Smash Bros"

Virtually every Sonic game ever made has been on a Nintendo console or handheld since the Gamecube/GBA.

@Bigboi500: This.

I could totally see FF7 Remake coming out "first" on PS4, then NX, Xbone and PC.

@jasonredemption: Yeah that logic makes sense. Pay for a subscription to buy games with a discount and then trade them in immediately after buying them.

Banjo Nuts and Bolts: I knew it was gonna be a fucking awful game but I still bought it anyway because I was blinded by rose-tinted nostalgia, but at least I got a download code for N64 Banjo Kazooie out of it.

COD 4: I let myself get talked into buying it from my dumbass friends I had back then. It's not a bad game, it's just not the kinda game I like to play...

COD MW2: Same deal.

GTA The Lost and the Damned: One of my gaming buddies convinced me to buy the DLC even tho I didn't even like GTA 4 that much, and TLAD almost filled up my 360's tiny HDD, and the game itself was so lame and boring that I just deleted it without even finishing it.

Shadows of the Damned: A really lame RE4 clone that was a complete waste of $60, and to think that I picked POS game over L.A. Noire...

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City: 'Nuff said.

Resident Evil 5 Collectors Edition: I spent $90 on the RE5 CE and all I got was an ugly steel case for the game, a shitty iron on patch, a stupid cheap necklace, a cheap little plastic Chris Redfield toy that looked like it came out of a supermarket toy dispenser, and a tiny little messenger bag that I used as a space to stuff all my drawing sketchbooks in.

Silent Hill Downpour: **** that game. Downpour sucked so bad that it was the only Silent Hill game that I couldn't even be bothered to finish. It's no wonder that game killed the franchise.

Dead Space 2 CE: I spent $80 on the CE and all it came with was this crappy little plastic plasma cutter gun that looked like a happy meal toy.

Mortal Kombat 9 Tournament Edition: I spent $150 on this game that came with this arcade PDP controller stick. The controller itself was actually pretty sweet but I never used the damn thing as much as I thought I would so that ended up being a pretty big waste of money...

Beyond Two Souls: I can't believe that I was dumb enough to preorder this asinine turd of a game, it was so bad that I had to force myself to sit down and finish it since Ellen Page was so insufferable as all she does is whine and cry throughout the whole game.

All that said, I'm ashamed to admit that I spent a really embarrassing amount of money on Rock Band DLC over the years, considering I stopped playing those games by the time RB3 came out...

Does anyone actually give a shit about this game? It's like even Capcom knows that they are making a quick shitty cashgrab.
