So....what do you get when you mix Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Disgaea?

Well, for one, a bunch of pissed off FF/FE/Disgaea fanboys/girls, but that's neither here nor there.

Now that... is fucking gold.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.
Everyday I'm tumbl'n.

Started playing San Andreas, just to see what the fuss was about.

Samuel L. Jackson is the villain? Shit, man... how am I supposed to beat Samuel L. Jackson?

TENPENNY: I'm da po-lice! King Kong... ain't got shit... on me!
CJ: Oh, fuck it.

Also, quick question. How do posses work? I can't seem to pick up random gang members in my cars, although I'm capable of having a posse of two more people. Note, I'm using the XBOX version.

The DDR one is easy, beat it on my second try...

And a posse? When you get a certain amount of Respect, you gain the ability to gain a Posse. There is a mission a LOT later on that explains it, sort of, but in the PS2 version at least, when you have enough Respect, go up to a gang member (Someone wearing Grove Street colors), and hit the "Positive Response" button. He should then start following you, and I think a counter appears saying how many gang members you have following you. Then he'll follow you until death, get in cars, shoot enemies, etc.

However, a fair warning, the AI is dumb as a damn brick. I only ever used them as Cannon Fodder, something for my enemies to shoot while I take them out...

Well, isn't that what you usually do when your allies are as dumb as bricks?

Pretty much.

However, I prefer smart AI, like Half-Life 2. AI that takes cover, heals itself, is somewhat accurate, works as a team, knows when to wait and when to charge... Now if ONLY the dumb bastards knew not to charge an Auto-Machine Gun Turret Nest, they would have been the perfect allies...

They aren't dumb.

They're just being moose-brave.

... or maybe they're being both.

OK, fair enough. I'm on the DDR mission right now... but I put that on hold when I realized that the car I stole, which I thought was just a Balla car, was a pimpmobile...

Speaking of AI... I've been a big Battlefield 1942 fan for a long time. It's pretty much the only FPS that I've played with any consistency at all; which is saying something since I generally avoid the entire FPS genre on principle. I love the game, but the AI... I swear that the bots are lobotomy patients. There's no other explanation. They're dumber than rocks.

Now, I picked up Battlefield 2 recently and expected much of the same. I couldn't have been more wrong. The AI not only successfully follows any commands you care to give (BF1942 couldn't even handle little commands like "GET IN!" consistently), but they actually coordinate assaults properly, both with each-other, and with the player. This includes healing, repair, the ability to actually PILOT aircraft without crashing... If I peer through my sniper scope and spot an enemy tank, I just give it's position over the radio (by hovering the reticle and selecting "spotted"), and appropriate anti-armor will divert to its location. Of course, this also applies to the enemy; there's few things more embarrassing than having an enemy medic run up behind you while you're distracted by the rest of his squad in front of you... and then hit you with shock-paddles and send you into cardiac arrest. >_<
