Make sure you get the Director's Cut. The original version is fantastic...except for the boss fights. They were dumb wars of attrition. We later found out that those fights had been outsourced to a different developer to speed up the development time but they really mangled it. But in the Director's Cut they've been completely redone by the original team. And if you have a Wii U (can't remember if you ever pulled the trigger on that one), that's the best way to go.

I know that feeling so well O_O

I die too sometimes! There was that one level, um, with the stuff?

Yikes! Yeah, hopefully I have no issues like that. And no...I haven't played Resistance 1 yet. But now I have the whole trilogy! lol

We just got to the third world but haven't been able to play since we moved. That shared lives thing is rough though.

DK is almost like Sully from Monsters, inc. lol

The main complaint most people have with FFXIII is its extreme linearity and to be honest I don't think that will bother me all that much. I've never been a big fan of open world games, for instance. Now the game's slow start, that will no doubt be very annoying but we'll see.

I'm drowning in great games over here. It's hard to know what to play sometimes lol.

No, FFII isn't bad and the GBA version is probably the most player-friendly version too. But it's not a game I'll ever go back to play again. Unlike these brutal new DKC games! 

Hmm, I do have it thanks to the Humble Bundle...

I read an interview with one of the game's designer's and he said that cross-platform play was possible from a technical standpoint but they didn't want people to complain about others doing better because of using a newer system, which is a dumb complaint but I can imagine people making it. What I think they should have done is offer servers with cross-platform for those who want it and servers for specific systems for those who care about that.
