Game Name: Persona 3 FES Platform: PS2 PS3 (Virtual Console) Time Spent: (A rough estimate is fine if the game doesn't track it) 63 hours in 1 playthrough 90 hours in total Do you recommend? Yes What you rate the game: (1 to 10) 9 Initial Thoughts: I was always curious about the persona series. I have never been a big JRPG fan even though i had tried multiple times playing the likes of Final Fantasy 4, 7, 13, 15, Golden Sun, the Dragon Quest series to get into the genre but they have never clicked for me. So i was cautious and so i decided to purchase Persona 3 FES (FES being the enhanced port of the original) which was only 10 dollars. Pros: (At least 2 reasons) First of all, the combat is fantastic. Like most of the popular JRPG games, it's combat is turnbased where the Characters use their persona's abilities to deal damage, buff opponents or debuff enemies. Most enemies and allies included have weaknesses that can be exploited for another turn. Perhaps the biggest reason for it's popularity, is it's characters. The main protagonist has no voice lines however his diloug choices are up to the player's discretion. Your allies and side characters are all very interesting and you can get to know them via social links. Social links are these events you can do to A. get to know the characters more and B. When you reach rank 10 the social links, you get a persona for their respective Socal link. Example: Getting Ranked 10 with the Magician Social link, gives you the opportunity to fuse certain demons and create Surt (one of the most overpowered persona in the game). down below is each of the social links that you can rank up throughout the game (some level up only through the story mode). The music in this game is phenomenal. I understand music is subjective and people won't like everything i like but i find it hard to believe that anyone can actually actively dislike a very unique soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=q0Mt56OdLRk;list=PLRBui0PW4JKRQd1xYlGI5EwYv7vTPLJMo Cons: (At least 2 reasons) If you want to max EVERY single social link you may have to follow a VERY strict schedule with a guide. While it is much easier to do with FES than it is to do with the original, it's still a real pain. That means exploring Tartarus ( the games dungeon) only once or twice a month. For this reason i recommend playing on easy if you wish to go this route, so you do not get overwhelmed by some of the bosses. Another minor negative is Tartarus its self. You will be scaling a 200+ floor building and the floors don't have much change of scenary to them. This isn't a very major point, especially if you plan on doing all the side missions and scaling to the next road block in a single night or two but after playing persona 4 (which i will probably review later) it at times can get mind numbing seeing the same layout. My only negative of the game is FES's 'The Answer' story. It's an extra of 10 to 30 hours of just fighting very frustrating enemies because fans of the original 2 persona and shin megami tensei series thought the game was too easy. It takes place after the game and that's all i will say about it because it's major spoilers. There's not much story and in my opinion just very boring. DO NOT LOOK UP ANYTHING ABOUT THE ANSWER UNTIL AFTER YOU BEAT THE ORIGINAL GAME. Final Thoughts: This review might look like there are some more negatives than positives, but that is NOT the case at all. There is just so much good about persona 3 that made me fall in love with the series, as well as got me to try multiple other Atlus JRPG series such as Shin Megami Tensei and its spin offs. Demon fusion is very confusing and overwhelming at first, but you start to feel like a total bad ass, when you get more and more persona. The voice acting is actually top-notch. I'm not sure why everyone has such a problem with Fuuka's voice acting. Some have said that she just sounds so bored and tired, but i didn't really get that feeling. Now there are multiple versions of Persona 3, the PSP version of persona 3 which i have not played but it comes with a female route, so instead of a male protagonist, you can choose a female route that changes some things about the game. Some major actually. Persona 3 FES is just persona 3 but better. you can look up some of the changes but anyone will tell you, to get FES because it adds some more content, social links are easier to complete and it's 10 dollars on PS3. I hope you all enjoyed reading this review and if you have any questions about persona 3 or anything about persona just ask in this thread or add me.

Game Name: Bully / Canis Canem Edit Platform: Bully Playstation 2 (Original Release) Playstation 3 Playstation 4 Bully: Scholarship Edition Windows (Not recommended) Wii Xbox 360 Android iOS Time Spent: Roughly around 100 hours on Playstation 2, I've re-played the whole story from begging to the end about 10 times and went for 100% completion once Do you recommend? Yes, but I don't recommend the scholarship edition as the graphics on the port looks really weird and imo ugly, although it has some extra story-line missions and side-quests, i'd say it's personal preference What you rate the game: I'll give this game a solid 8.7/10 Initial Thoughts: When I first got this game in 2009 for the PS2, I didn't really know how to read English so I didn't follow the story-line nor was I able to complete most of the story-line missions, I only played this game cause it seemed fun to get in fights and beat up people, play pranks on them, make out with girls, be a regular high-school student and generally fuck around After a while I decided to re-play it after getting to understand what was going on, and I really loved my experience with it Pros: +++A lot to do, open world ++Well made, unique characters +Fun gameplay +Alright storyline +Not bad graphics for a game that was released in 2006 Cons: -A lot of things are predictable storywide -Might seem a little repetitive in terms of gameplay and story combined Final Thoughts: Easily one of my favorite games of all time, has a high replayability and I definitely recommend you to get this game (if possible) on Playstation Controller recommended for PC

Funny, Nice, Doesn't break rules. An All Around Good Person.+1

For those not paying attention: A while back OhStopYou said that -1 on a member app did not count because he claims he "heard it from higher ups" (who knows where he heard it, or if he made it up. yolo.), however prior to that everyone that was a Division Leader (and then DM/DL after it was decided to "split" the responsibilities) had always operated under the pretext that if there was a -1 on an application, that it would count as long as it posed actual context to why they were giving a -1, same with a +1 (hence why forest made the whole thing with activity and maturity ratings to give a simple short note of why you gave your vouch.) At this point there was a medium sized thread in the admin discussion that was confused on this topic, as far as I remember, if current DM/DL/CL/C wanted to, they could go back and screenshot the thread in there where it was "discussed" and essentially verified that yes all vouches count be it +1 or -1 as long as they have proper context therefore a simple post containing this: "+1" or "-1" would mean literally nothing, only posts that followed the format "+1 A: X M: X" or in sentence/descriptive form counted. This then continued Business as Usual until now where this thread was made because Silence, being the monster that he is, does what he wants really regardless of what the community says/thinks as long as it is something he wants to do (very hard to change his mind.) decided to accept this member submission, after receiving 6 +1 vouches and 1 -1 vouch. totaling out at 5 +1 vouches, for a forum application which previous precedent, Hanney had applied under and was accepted with 6 +1 vouches. however in the case of Hanney, the only game she plays with xG is League of Legends and then whatever meme of the month game is next, she does not play on any of xG's official divisions where we control servers, and instead operated mostly on teamspeak. IMO this should have been treated as said in the thread in question, as a TF2 member submission and follow those vouch requirements, since squid is 99% a TF2 player, it is unknown to me if he actually plays on the other divs/games but his previous submission was from TF2 (until the day comes where you just generically apply for xG which is what it should be at this point with the blending of divisions that has taken place more-so recently.) Obviously he is now a member, and I am not condoning revoking his membership after the fact, but merely to review the case and set a future precedent.

Xeno Gamers +1 If someone comes back to get unbanned after all this time they clearly are dedicated.

First you need to learn authenticate Japanese to communicate fluently with Japanese Java.

Yes, and if you bothered to read why your other applications were closed, you would know that; Also, please take some time to read our Member submission guidelines, which state; If you have any questions feel free to hmu. Thread closed.

Maybe if you people stopped +1'ing for them being cool, we wouldn't have this situation ###Trigger Jokes aside, was something like this really discussed by the Higher-Ups; and if so.. Why? There seems to be a stupid amount of speculation here, but given that it's such a monumental change, it should not have just slipped under the radar. At the very least, a public announcement should have been made in say, the xG News section (assuming it wasn't). That being said, I'm in the same boat with the other oldies. As far as I'm concerned, as an ex-Division Manager, -1s always influenced a Member Application and the collective unspoken rule was that it took away from the total +1s of any given Member Submission. Though I agree whole-heartedly with the thread; if it's causing a rift between the Higher-Ups then something regarding -1s should definitely be written in stone in the Member Submission Guidelines. Semi-related note: Higher-Ups, for the love of God, update and fix that shit . It's full of inconsistencies and contradictions. There's literally an xG News thread that effectively re-orders how vouching works for Divisions ("Global vouches") and yet the 'MSG' still reflects the outdated protocol. Mind you, this is assuming that announcement wasn't scrapped, although even then another xG News thread should have been made to clarify that. Also, just as a suggestion, y'all should make/sticky a thread in Admin Discussion (or even in General, stickied/closed) that includes time stamps for all major changes (as well as by whomever made the change) for reference as opposed to editing something into the applicable thread. Paper trails are great to have, but it sort of clutters up the thread if you continue adding these changelogs (IE. "change for X has been put into effect as of Y by Z") one by one and this would make it 1000x easier for anyone to determine when a change was made and by who (one thread to refer to for all major changes as opposed to having to dig through varying threads) As always, this is just personal opinion.

Yeah that sounds good to me

-1 Literally said the day after the previous drama "I don't need xG anymore." And otherwise being a complete nuisance. A: 2 M: 2

+1 helpful and spent time figuring out bugs and issues with servers.

Good question, @Rhododendron and @Aegean would we be able to fix a nice little prize of credits in addition to @Sylux making something on his map? Either of you could PM me if need be.

Si!! :D Friendly and nice person , it´s funny when nikkita trys to kill nebula with scout PLOP (nebula :i´m 10) M: 9 A : 8 +1

forgot the +1

@mrnutty12 @BlankuChan @Egossi We got it this time.

I saw the title for this and i thought Bello or someone up there reseted all the stats XD

+1 its been three years, he deserves a second chance

I'll make a post about it on the February update :)

Unfortunately there may not be a fix, however you can still review your legacy stats from Rankings | Xeno Gamers.

It cannot be reverted since there are no backups available, you can still use ranks.xenogamers to view your position on Deathrun.

Thanks Deth and everyone who voted :) I don't mind being captain but i also don't mind not being captain haha. @Dethman if you'd like to take the captain position instead that's absolutely fine :)

One person.

I'm actually so confused. I kind of just glanced at the original post and after thoroughly reading it I'm still confused because that is how member applications currently work. To get accepted you need X amount of upvotes, any downvotes negates an upvote. What I originally got from OP is that after a certain amount of downvotes you just get declined. Anyone who accepted an applicant without following the criteria above is an idiot.

wot df hold on image broke :(

Switching to +1 majorly improved maturity by assisting with bugs. Has improved overall as well.

Go into detail on why the pros are pros, and cons are cons.

Just pointing out that this Thread was made on a Monday.
