While Wyrm's right that the direct connections are small (some recurring characters from the first, and the first three games [the true series] share a recurring villain), the first game is only like 25 hours long. It may not be on par with Suikdoden II, but is still a great game in its own right.Quote:

I played SII before SI, but I replayed it after beating the first game (ALSO YOU GET COOL STUFF IF YOU USE A SI-SAVE STATE). The old fake-prequel-then-sequel trick. Yepyepyep.
Also, Suikoden III is vastly underrated. The story makes up for the gameplay. :( SIV is shit, SV is probably the best one, tactics is grand - despite being based on SIV - and Tierkreis is fairly crap.
Let us go wild tonight, darlin'! :wacko:Quote:

Dirt 3 and GTA IV Episodes (The Lost and Damned).
This is my first time ever playing TLAD. I'm only 4 years late to that party, eh? :D
I still need to finish III someday. :-/ It was technically the last real Suikoden, since the creator/writer left half way through the project. Now they just give us Yuberless unconnected stories with a similar formula, but they aren't building to anything anymore.Quote:

Nevermind those friends were going out and killing people in their down time.
Also, that duck guy looked funny as shit.
Also, V bored me. I felt the story got redundant toward the end, and didn't you have to recapture the same city a few times? Felt too much like padding/needless backtracking.
Started Bioshock Infinite a few days ago. You know, that game that I bought back in March? Yeah, that one.
Enjoying it so far. Gonna try and find all of the collectibles without a guide. Something tells me that's not going to happen. :dread:
Yeah. Yeah, you do. I actually find the whole Thomas-business a bit adorable, although it's boring as shit. And Snowe (SIV) getting Flik's Ten'an star is way more annoying, just trust me on that one. :wacko: Oh wait, maybe you did play the fourth game, in which case you'd know. :P Actually, I'd say the building has been pretty nice. SIV truly is an awful game, but it atleast showed the origin of a character from the original game. And although I couldn't have cared less about whatever land in SV (Falena?), making a prequel to the first game, that doesn't take place ages before the series opens up a lot of possibilities. The sixth game, which will probably never be made mind you, could be about so many things! That old freedom war or whatever; the messed up shit before SI that made Humphrey go all mute, a SIII sequel in harmonia with Sasari going all "you guys didn't tell me >: (((((" etc etc. As long as it's one day actually official that Hugo's the son of Luca Blight I'll be happy. TIMELINE GOODIES! And yeah, Sergeant whatever is the boss. ^__^Quote:

But I liked the strategy battles so much (messing them up is the worst thing about SIII) I wouldn't have minded.Quote:

While there's still plenty they can do with the world and characters, they still feel like separate games with some weak tie-ins. Even where the first three games were totally separate from one another, Yoshitaka Murayama clearly had a bigger picture in mind when you consider the themes and narrative threads that did carry over.Quote:

They were building up to something there, and we'll never know, because they dropped that thread completely when Murayama left Konami. :(
Oh, I still think V was a good game. I just got bored toward the end. Ironically, most people think the first 10 hours are boring. Also, I played III and V without internet, and put dozens more hours than I should have trying to recruit people fruitlessly. --and I refuse to touch IV considering even the most diehard suikofanboys hate it.
