• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

I have never played a Final Fantasy game.

Wait, seriously? Seriously? Dirge of Cerberus makes absolutely no sense. Not even for Final Fantasy. It ignores continuity, has some of the corniest lines of dialogue known to man (and this is in a series that produces gems like "This guy are sick" and "Beacause you are...... a puppet" [yes, beacause]) and Vincent's relationship with Orange (I forget her name; it means 'orange' though. They are so clever, there are villains named Azul the Cerulean and Nero the something and [orange in ... arabic?] the Transparent and Weiss the Immaculate. AZUL. THE. CERULEAN.) is the skeeviest thing ever. SHE'S EIGHT or possibly 18 BUT SHE'S PHYSICALLY EIGHT. VINCENT IS SOMEWHERE IN HIS FIFTIES, A VAMPIRE, AND STILL IN LOVE WITH HIS DEAD STALKING-VICTIM (SHE NEVER CARED ABOUT HIM AT *ALL* AND HOOKED UP WITH A MAD SCIENTIST AND GAVE BIRTH TO SEPHIROTH).

And I haven't even touched the gameplay yet. Let's start with this: it is a third person shooter with no physics engine worth noting (bullets go in a straight line until they suddenly hit the ground!), a counterproductive auto-target (it makes you MISS MORE), invisible walls so even though you can jump it NEVER HELPS, and in the latter third of the game, everything is immune to bullets.

This is a shooter.
Where everything is immune to BULLETS.

Don't forget that it's can and WILL happen that the player will run out of bullets for the Death Penalty at end game, which is pretty much required to beat the final boss.
