    So I'm building muscle rather quickly and/or gaining fat back because I've gained 4 lbs. in a week. Though it might also be because I have a highly irregular schedule of waking up so things aren't as consistent as I'd like them to be when I weigh myself right after I wake up.

    I feel like any weight change under 5-7 pounds is negligible; it's almost impossible to replicate the same circumstances under which you weighed yourself. You might have just had to poop or something.

    As a wrestler, I used to weigh myself every day around the same time, so you can trust me when I say that weight fluctuations happen daily and somewhat randomly within a given range.

    So I wouldn't worry too much.

    I don't think The Last Story was any different. I think out of the 3, Xenoblade Chronicles was the only one with the real big draw, and of course was the one most people missed because it costs hundreds now. :-o

    the price on XB has halved recently; ebay copies are going for 50-60 bucks. The gamestop near me even has a copy that has remained untouched for several weeks.

    Re: Last Story, I think I'll probably still try it. But Pandora's Tower ( I still haven't played past the first dungeon) so far is a total joke. I'll put another 1-2 hours in it, but I'm not confident.

    I recommend playing through the first 3 dungeons at least to get a bead on the kind of game it is.

    Alright, I think I can do that. I played through the first dungeon already and it hasn't changed my opinion, but I'll give it 2 more. If not, I'm stuffing Pandora back in her box!

    So, I bought this game yesterday, and I've never been more turned off to a game in the first 30 seconds. I'm wondering if someone can open my mind to a reason why thousands of people petitioned to get it over to the US (or if it was just tacked on to Xenoblade).

    Like, I didn't know you could make games with plots that shallow anymore. The opening sequence didn't even have sound - it was just ripped off classical music while something blew up and three people ran away. You learn absolutely nothing about anyone or anything in the one minute sequence.

    Is this game going to get better, or is it just a poorly crafted hack-and-slash in which the core narrative conflict is that this chick is a vegetarian?

    As I get older I mainly want to play a game, enjoy it, and move on. I don't do much replaying anymore. I've never liked fighting games so I can't speak to the desire to get really good at them, but doing endless item runs in a game like Diablo 2 no longer appeals to me.

    Nice to know that there are others that feel similarly. I just can't grind anymore...I want an awesome story, and I want getting through it to be fun. I just finished Assassin's Creed 3 at like 40% complete - but it feels 100% complete for me and I loved the game. There's no way I'm going to go around picking up small trinkets and stuff. I find myself unwilling to do things like beat Emerald Weapon, etc, though I still definitely replay the oldies.
