What do you think of the combat mechanics in X versus XIII?

 

I never actually played XIII, and don't know too much about the combat. I just read that you were, like in X, "on rails" for most of the game, and didn't find it that interesting in terms of story/aesthetics.

 

In general, I favor turn-based combat, so I appreciate that X bucked the ATB system and allowed you to see the order of turns.

I conquered the beast that is The Order of the Phoenix last night. I just didn't have a lot of time to read recently, but I started reading vigorously for the past few nights. Yesterday I read for a few hours during the day, and at twelve I started reading and didn't quit until I finished the book, which came at the expense of sleep, as this meant I was reading until four in the morning. However, it's my favorite so far. I have no clue what everyone meant by it being slow in the middle. It was good all the way through, and I loved all of it. The only drawbacks to this book were that Sirius died, and every time Umbridge spoke it impeded my ability to read because I started doing libertarian-esque rants in my head. However, George and Fred quickly became some of my favorite characters in the book. Their antics were simply too funny, and I loved it when they gave Umbridge hell when Dumbledore left. I especially loved that the teachers never helped her.
