I happen to like Kingdom Hearts a lot ok? >_< And it's more of a hack and slash/RPG hybrid when you think about it. Now Final Fantasy X THAT was an over rated average RPG.

Yeah, I play the PC version. Saw the game of the year edition at Wal Mart for under $20 so I grabbed it. That really sucks, but the ending's not that great, Dagoth Ur was a real pushover. Kind of disapointing really, you'd think a god should be really hard to kill, I had a harder time with Cliff Racers. XD
try playing God of War on PS2 ive been on the final batlle for 2 days alreadyQuote:

Apparently KH2:Final Mix has been announced for the US. Should be pretty cool. It's got a 3-D remake of Chain of Memories as a bonus, so I might actually get around to playing that game this time around.
Yeah the 3D remake of CoM is a great bonus. I hope SE release it in EU... though I highly doubt that... >___>Quote:

On topic, I recently finished Suikoden III. I loathed the game the first time that I tried to play it, and cast it aside after no more than six or seven hours. However, Elmdor's shining recommendation of it convinced me to give it another go. And, after a little persistance in its opening segments, I found it really enjoyable. Not Suikoden II or Suikoden V good, but still well worth a go, and a thousand times better than the horror that was Suikoden IV. Thanks, Elmdor. ^_^
I've recently beat your mom. INTO THE GROUND.
I'm coming close to closing Armored Core: Last Raven. I have to destroy the guy I wanted to help win. =( I ended up on the wrong path.
Boohooo! I don't have time to play games at all this coming week :(.
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Great game, awesome story. Too bad it wasn't a point and click just as The Longest Journey was, it would've been a lot more awesome then. :(
Sid Meier's Pirates! (2004). I managed to kick all but 2 pirates ass, found all my relatives, found 2 treasures and killed the guy who wronged my family. Married the dutch daughter of the governor of Curacao, and then retired at 39 and become a surgeon. :wacko:
The Godfather. It was surprisingly good, especially since it's a) based on a movie and b) it's a EA game. :wacko:
I played through the Godfather: Mob Wars on PSP when it was released in Europe. I must say, that it sucked hard. The game is stripped of all free-roam/open ended stuff though.Quote:

Eh... let's not even mention Suikoden IV. =.=
Heh, seems like they removed the best parts from the PSP-version. :wacko:Quote:

Except in the case of Suikoden II, where I like the sad ending better anyway. ^_^Quote:

...
Wind Rune, show me your power! :x
But they added a crappy strategy part. That, and longer loading times :DQuote:

Armored Core: Nexus. This is the first Armored Core that I have ever actually played from beginning to end. I didn't go through looking for secret parts or anything because I had them all already, but it was damned fun. My supAr broke tank raped ALL ACs and my Lightweight Biped ran through 90% of the missions with ease. <3
Haha, yeah.. it's always one freaking star, isn't it? Although I did actually manage to get them all (in time!) when playing Suikoden III. :>Quote:

Hugo is Luca Blight's son, I kid you not! Who did you give the flame rune to, by the way?
"I hate you more than anything in the world. But you are the only one I empathize with."
Luc and Sasarai <3
Let's add Robotech Battlecry to my list of recently beaten games. I must say I'm curious how such a great anime such as Robotech can spawn such an awful game. The package brags about having anime with beautiful graphics, all it has are a few hand drawn slide shows with the character you're playing as talking. If they could fit real anime videos into Lunar SSS Complete and EB Complete back on the PSX they sure as hell should be able to fit it on a PS2 disc. There's little to nothing to unlock, just a small handfull of mechs, a few paint jobs, and some interviews, no real replay value, in fact I only got about 7 hours of play out of it, and that's after getting stuck on several missions, if I had beaten every mission in one go it probably would've only been about 4. The missions range from incredibly easy to impossibly hard and there are way too many escort missions. Say it with me now gaming industry, WE HATE ESCORT MISSIONS! Now the controls, transforming is a pain they could've done the logical thing and assigned it to the unused L3 or R3 no, they assigned it to the directional buttons so if you want to change you have to hold perfectly still and hope you don't get blown up in the process, and no matter what form you're in it's incredibly slow. I was hoping for a fast paced experience along the lines of Zone of the Enders, not watching a giant robotic snail. I'd be on my way to Game Zone right now to return it if it weren't just five dollars.
Woah. Wall'o text.
Finished Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii) today.
Advance Wars 1 - didn't do the war room.
Seiken Densetsu 3 with the English patch. Nice stuff.
Elite Beat Agents.
Agents are,
GOOOO!!
Jowy... ;____; I didn't play another RPG for about five months after Suikoden II. That ending ruined me. In a good way. :wacko:Quote:

And...Hugo, Blight's son? =o That's an um...interesting theory. :P
No worries, dude. :) Oh? I liked Geddoe (err.. is that his name? Oh well, the third guy anyway :P) the best, but I went with Hugo seeing as Chris and Geddy were tied to the other two runes. Yeah, I know what you mean. I.. I actually thought Thomas would turn out to be the main character which would've been.. eh, I was being silly there. :wacko:Quote:

They're really well done. The level design is top notch, and the games play faithfully to what you'd expect in Megaman, with the Metriod game making allowances for Samus' floaty jumping. The bosses move and act like you'd expect them to act, complete with Arthur's inability to change direction once commited to a jump, and Samus dropping bombs all over the place. It's just really classy stuff. Really fun. The cool thing is that when you finish one game, you unlock a special weapon that you can use in the other. When you beat them both, you can play through them again with Protoman. I recommend that you check them out at Newgrounds.com. Use Joy2Key for best results.

So...uh, this is off-topic, but which Xenosaga would you think it's good to start? I have heard people who said that the PS1 are great and the PS2 crap and viceversa, I like any type of RPG's so what would anyone recommend? :)
Valkyrie Profile.
Suikoden I, II, III, IV (Only to meet Ted) and V.
Fire Emblem VI-IX.
Go.
the psx one is called xenogears
the ones on ps2 are called xenosaga and are 3 games total and i started on the first one
Sweet, thanks. :)
Yeah, uhm... You're supposed to play Episode I...
Then Episode II...
Then Episode III! :sa-bgrin:
Dunno if Xenogears is better played before or after, though...
I beat Silent Hill 2 yesterday -- 100 Star Rank. I'm not sure I wanna try Silent Hill 3 now... It's the hardest SH game I've played... :|
It doesn't matter if you play Xenogears before or after Xenosaga as the stories are hardly related to each other.
Admit it Ru, you are just afraid of the dark! :P
I'd recommend you play Xenogears first, personally. It's much better than Saga (though it's much better than most games, in my opinion :P), and while the two aren't really related in any direct way (despite having a very similar feel), Saga has lots of cool little references back to Gears. Especially Episode III. Even if you try Xenosaga and don't like it, I'd still recommend giving Gears a go, as it's really one of the best Japanese RPGs ever. ^_^Quote:

They're not really for everyone. The three games are criticised for being linear and story heavy...and they are. A lot of game time is spent watching movies. But it's a pretty interesting story, with a nice cast of characters. I remember you said that you liked Final Fantasy X, and it's not really any more linear than that, so maybe, like me, the 'on-rails-ness' of Xenosaga won't bother you too much anyway. ^_^
As long as you stop at SH3, you'll be fine. SH4 will piss on your sanity and probably lower your overall gaming ability and judgment. It really did suck that bad.Quote:
