What game have you recently beaten?

[Pickles]

Finished Little big planet 2.

Not a hope of going for the platinum, 24 hours in create mode, and it has to be active as well. Cant just enter it and leave it. Fuck that.

Time for a cool trick on grind heavy games like that.

Make a stack of games. You just need a height of slightly higher than your controller when it's resting on your desk/table/whatever.

Now move the third or fourth game out at an angle. You might want to put something heavy on top in some cases.

Put the edge of the case on your analog stick so that it's pointing in a direction (the right stick in this case, which will rotate an object)

Leave for a day.

Exit.

SUCCESS.

Analog rubber bands nazo tsukatten ja neeeeeeeee!

I still remember the first time I actually tried the rubber band method and got raped for it hard. Best anti-grind measure in any game ever.

Oh man, you actually did it? I've only seen videos.

I dream of a world where putting Barbatos in your game to prevent auto-leveling is standard practice. What's that? This is Final Fantasy, and Barbatos has no place turning up? Wakamoto has no patience for your human logic.

just finished phantasy star 4 on genesis. great game story was kinda bland traditional save the universe type deal. The thing i liked most was the monster design coupled with certain monster abilities to "fuse" made fighting them interesting. not going to add any spoilers but you could probably beat the final boss without a team of 60-65.

Spoiler warning:

the ending did leave me wondering how Rune came from dezolis without the use of a space ship

[TheRealSpiders]

Beat SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked last night. I'm debating whether or not to replay it again for the various other endings.

Phantasy Star II

I honestly don't see why so many people like this game.

Phantasy Star II

I personally loved it, although when I beat it about 19 years ago I wasn't nearly as jaded as I am now.


I myself just finished beating Dead Island. Took about 50 hours of gameplay time. Although I did every side quest as well. Awesome game is awesome.

i agree, i didnt like the game but i love PSO

I really didn't like the story, nor did I like how the TRUE VILLAINS behind EVERYTHING went from being sympathetic to TEH EVIL in the span of 10 seconds of dialogue.

Honestly, I'd REALLY like to see the game be remade, along with Phantasy Star 3. PS3 has the most potential, but I feel PS2 could be salvaged with a remake that would expand the story, because the way it's presented is a mess and comes off as not very compelling on its own.

It's a decades-old game, you should think about what other RPGs were out at the time and then think about just how awesome and HUGE PS2 was for it's time. Sure, it's a little dated now, but it's still a great game. Much better than it's oft-hated sequel.

They did remake it and the first one for PS2. They were part of a rather large list of budget-priced titles dubbed Sega Ages 2500. Because they were priced at 2500 yen. They were only released in Japan, with no real hope of the officially coming overseas. There is someone on Romhacking.net who has been making some progress in translating the Phantasy Star 2 remake to English.
