Tbqh the whining just makes me roll my eyes at y'all. I had a fairly strong dislike of XIII the first time I played it, and I got frustrated & dropped it before the Vile Peaks, because the linearity of the game was driving me up the wall, having been a devoted FF fan for years to that point & being so used to more open worlds than XIII's. I decided to try again, because I like to have my trophy lists complete... and the second time, I gave it a chance and I warmed up to it. I'm currently working for the plat (I have a lot of health problems, so yes, it's really taken me this long). As for XIII-2, I actually like the story a lot more than that of XIII, probably because I love time travel in fiction. I've never been keen on Serah, she always irritated me for some reason. Not enough will to stand up for herself. But she gets better, a little bit. I haven't got very far with LR yet - I'm not fond of time limits in games & I want to plat the other two first.

Even on a new console, the disc edition of this game still crashes everything. It's ludicrous.

No... I meant complete by getting all the trophies as well as making it through the game. Honestly, I suspect some cheating or a modern equivalent of the old Xplorer cartridge, because I still cannot see any way it would be possible otherwise. The characters simply don't move quickly enough, if playing the game unaugmented. Oh well...

I'm trying to escape the Indominus with Claire and Owen, in story mode, just after they found the kids' jeep tracks, and while I built the scaffolding for Claire to jump up to get the last bits for the chainsaw to cut through the huge vine, she seemed to be stuck in a strange black space where I couldn't see or move her. I swapped back to Owen, built the scaffold, but when I switched back to Claire for her agility, she was already on the far side of the undamaged vine - and it was impossible to get her back to the other side to do her jumping so that Owen could get there. I had to exit the level, in the end. So... there's another glitch for you all. Sigh!

What I want to know is what's with the "fastest achievers" list for this game on here? There is no way that anyone can complete this game in under an hour legitimately: a) the cutscenes are longer than that and the characters don't move quickly enough in between to finish that fast even if you've played the game before! I know, I've tried! *muttering*

I love 8 and 9, but what I really want is 12 playable on PS3. *makes grabby hands* And if they remake anything, I think it should be IV or VI. Though V, IX & XII are my top 3 (INPO).

I should mention again how irritating it is when people just put in a video and don't add the info of the song in text alongside it. Know why? Because the videos don't show up in notifications for thread updates by email, even HTML ones, so they all come through as blank posts & you can't see what's in the thread. Please bear that in mind, people ... As for what I'm listening to... right now just the spinning of a fan and the purring of a cat - and my own uncontrollable hiccups - but I'm being earwormed by Nobuo Uematsu's "The Breeze" (I do so wish I knew who the vocalist is for that! Nobody seems to be sure). Such a great song, and the album's good too. It's such a damn shame Draiman is a f***wit. (I argued a point of politics with him once on Twitter, very politely, & he set his whole crowd of followers on me. I got so much abuse from him and them - mostly misogynistic bs - that I had to switch my account to private for a week & block about a dozen people.)

I don't think there's much point in sharing another pic of me with my second account (already shared myself corseted on the previous page), but thanks for the likes on that. I think my next post in this thread that contains a photograph will probably be showing off the dentures I am finally supposed to be getting... though right now I'm pretty damned upset about that one, as they've cancelled my surgery (I'm meant to be having 18 teeth out under general in one go). But it will be so nice to be able to smile and not have people tell me I look like I'm smirking just because I don't like to show all my broken teeth... (not my fault, I swear. EDS can GTFO.)

On my playthrough on my original profile, where I've got 100% on it, I worked at it feeding each day for about a month in real-time, bred some Tetras - they're apparently the easiest to breed, but my new game isn't proving so! - and forwarded the console time by a week a few times & fed them all each time. I don't know why it's not working this time.

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day - again I do love this film. Amy Adams is adorable as Delysia I couldn't find a properly-sized cover that would attach, though.
