Is that the game where, as Penny Arcade puts it, you choose which party members get fucked by lizardmen? |

I tend not to listen to the game opinions of webcomics whose entire basis is to make fun of various games. doesn't mean they can't be funny, as VGCats proves, but I don't think that choosing whether to buy a game based on whether they made fun of it is a good plan |

I don't, Newb. I'm just trying to clarify which game it is, since that's all I've heard about it. And I don't have a PS2, so don't go saying "OH! BUT YOU HAVE TO PLAY SO:TTEOT!" |

Yeah, that's the one. Although I'm not entirely sure which lizardmen they're talking about in that strip... the lizardmen were always easy battles for me, but the LIZARDS (dino-ish things) that were the pain in the ass... Yeah, the AI's stupid, most of the time... PA hit the mark there, I'm not arguing. But unless you have the most unbalanced party of all time (Sophia, Adray and Peppita! >.<), you can generally get the other two to do what you want, and combined with some intelligent playing on the character you control, win most battles easily... Or you could be like me and kill everything with Maria before the other two have a chance to screw up... ah, either way.

I've been trying to beat RE4 on Professional mode, and I also played a game on the X-Box called Darkwatch. It seems alot like Halo, but it is a bit different. |

Not that it's unlikely that someone could do it, it's just that the genres have been stagnating a bit. I just don't see any company thinking it would do well enough to attempt it. Sure, I would love it if a game like that were made, but I'm not too sure how the general public would react...
I've only played up to the point where Fayt and Sophia get separated from their Fayt's parents, but so far it doesn't seem so bad. What you say about these lizardmen, though, is... odd |

Shadow's still in the prologue... The game is a little annoying with the massive cutscenes. I heard that if you skip all of them, the game is only 15 hours long... and it's true. It took me something over 60 hours to beat it... and if the game has anything going for it, it's that level/moneybuilding is rather easy... |

You haven't even gotten to really fight yet yo. OH! And remember: You run out of MP, you DIE. And later on, EVERYTHING kills your MP. Watch for Ciff. He dies a lot that way. |

Wait... do you mean a character literally just drops dead when their MP hits zero, or that they just can't do anything and get slaughtered? Neither is a good thing, but the first is just rediculous... |

They die (incapacitated) when they hit zero MP. Techniques cost either HP or MP (all magic costs MP of course). And later on, enemies start dealing crazy amounts of MP damage... it's highly annoying. |

Are MP-restoring items easy to find? |

I didn't understand why Cliff, who, before MP damage, had been kicking ass and taking names, now went down in a hit or two until Mordy explained that to me. ...I haven't picked up the game since. <.< |

It's annoying... and yes, MP restoratives are just as common as HP restoratives... It just makes the fights harder, really. They're not all that hard to begin with. And it works the opposite way, too. Some bosses have depressingly low MP, so it's really easy to kill them with the right techniques. edit: And revive items restore the same percentage of HP and MP. All the restoratives work off percentages rather than straight numbers. |

Most magic doesn't take much MP compared to what you have. Like, Healing takes 20 MP, and the max is 99,999... values in the thousands are easy to get. And that's the healing spell you use through the entire game, because it gets more powerful as you use it, but never costs more MP. |
