PS: That Gameboy sewing machine is bonkers!

I'm out of control.

We need to hook yo' ass up to a PediSedate!

Dr. Eugene, did you see Machete (Lohan topless) yet??

AWESOME.

No, I did not. I'm assuming you pulled a Pee Wee Herman?

no, but my wife turned to me and laughed at me like I was a little kid seeing boobs for the first time.

Hah. Look up UNLIMITED SAGA..

I really didn't pay any attention to SaGa post-Final Fantasy Legend III. Although, I assumed the SNES games could be ok?

Definitely an interesting title. Combines Asteroids-like gameplay with RPG elements.

Can someone, ANYONE, please explain to me why ANYONE would like the game "Vagrant Story"? I played this one a couple of years ago for a few hours -- as some of you know, at one point I had every game that Square made for the PS1 -- and thought it was one of the worst, if not THE ABSOLUTE WORST, games I'd ever played in my life.

The entire game is hitting the X button to attack enemies "in the grid". Large group formations that surround you. You hit X to attack, then select a "body part" to hit, and then you do it. HIT X QUICKLY and you will get another attack or two in. But, ohhh, be careful, because every time you do ANYTHING, the "risk" meter builds up, and when it's maxed out, all the enemies attacks will do 3x the damage to you and you can't do anything. Not that you could anyway -- you often miss, or only do 1HP of damage. 1HP! For enemies who, y'know, have 200HP! OF COURSE, what you have to do is buy special weapons to hit them with -- certain blades can only kill certain enemies. Sounds cool, right (er, besides the fact that the weapons break)? Well, not in the heat of a battle when you have to change your fucking blade 4 times in a row. It's that bad. You will die, you will die often, but beyond that, you will be bored, since the whole game could probably be beaten in 2 hours, but because of the artificial lengthening of "You don't do ANY DAMAGE unless you have the EXACT blade selected -- and even then, you won't do MUCH damage", the game ends up becoming 12-15 hours long.

Graphics suck, music's alright, none of that is as important as the ABSOLUTE WORST, most BORING, TEDIOUS, AWFUL gameplay I've ever experienced in my fucking life! Oh, and you can't just save when you need to, requiring you to fight MULTIPLE BOSSES before you're allowed to save. And this might be a minor point, but for some reason, the game save takes up 3 times the space of a regular PS1 game -- and it requires ANOTHER 8kb (if you're counting, that's roughly 32kb FOR ONE GAME! -- and yes, that was a shitload on PS1 memory cards) -- for items. What?!

It is easily one of the worst games ever made, and the only reason I'm bringing it up is I was looking at Famitsu games that got perfect scores of 40 and it was the 2nd one, ever. What the fuck? Then again, Famitsu is CLEARLY co-owned by Square or something -- they said Final Fantasy X was the best game ever made (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) and gave Dirge of Cerberus -- anohter one of the worst games ever made -- a great score.

Another thing was, PERSONA 3 was recently voted the greatest rpg of the last decade by two different highly respected RPG websites. I've been a SMT fan for years, and I have beaten tons of the recent SMT games, and all the Persona games.. and Persona 3 is a) easily the worst game in the series... it's one of the most mediocre games I've ever played and is just flat-out boring by the end, b) not even close to being the "best" RPG of the decade, it wasn't even the best RPG the MONTH it came out! ........

As for best RPG of the past decade, well... Xenogears just misses the boat doesn't it, it came out in early 99 I believe.. ah, well, I'd say Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Valkyrie Profile 2, or Dragon Quest VIII... or, hell, VII. Or Tales of Symphonia. Hell, Skies of Arcadia, if only the battles weren't so slow. Worst RPG I played in the decade was probably Final Fantasy XII, which might be the only game I've played that's as bad as Vagrant Story -- oh, and guess what? IT WAS MADE BY THE SAME TEAM.

hahaha
I agree to you about the persona rumble.
I enjoyed Persona 4 ALOT more then persona 3.
this pseudo suicide headshot thing is what attracted every reviewer. I liked it too, but NO, just NO :)
Devil Survivor is by far the best SMT since Nocturne! maybe I liked it even more, cause its the only one which I played to get every damn ending and enjoyed every minute of it.
looking forward to play strage ourney cause it reminds me a lot of the old school smt.
Anybody played it so far?

best RPG? I really cant decide at the moment, I am not so much a fan of the tales series, tried to play tales of symphonia but got bored pretty quick and sold it over ebay.

one thing for sure: killer7 best game since ever. haHA!

playing at the moment for the trillionst time:


if they would remake resident evil 2 in the same way I would piss my pants


and I am still playing:


and I think: this is the BEST shooter Ive ever played (see my conversation with noisereductions a few pages before this for details (this goes out for you asp if you didnt played this!!!!!!))

Xenogears never interested me. I never even bothered trying.

I've only played SMT games that were on SNES, GBC, GBA -- never tried the Persona's. (And I finally sold my dust-collecting PS2 this week, so...)

REmake is AMAZING. Seriously amazing. I'd never be able to play the PS1 version ever again now. I really wish 2, 3, Veronica had gotten the same treatment. Alshab, have you played RE0? It's pretty similar in feel - though you control 2 characters independent of each other. (think Maniac Mansion). And of course you know that i Love RE4.

I'm gonna try to find Bangai-O today after work. I NEED IT.

oh BTW I'm playing Urban Strike (the Genny port). It's really good but I dn't really get what I'm supposed to do at certain parts and it pisses me off.

yeah I got all GC RE(makes)!!!
Zero is pretty cool!

indeed you NEED bangai O. I am totally addicted in making levels!!!!
I will head to Spain the next 1 1/2 weeks. maybe I find the time to upload my recent levels for you beforehand. but I am sure I will sharpen my skills till then :) did at least 2 really great levels, which are difficult and actionpacked as fuck. but I managed to finish them after more or less tries, so they work. It easy to get the hang of creating levels and making them hell of a fun.
if not we can exchange levels like mad when I am back (will have no internet connection there I think)

P.S.: I found out that we even can collaborate in making levels!!! cause when you download one Ive done, you can customize them, upload and I can download it. and on and on. so we could optimize

sounds awesome. I only wish the DS could be output to a TV or bigger monitor. Oh well.

My thumb is a bit blistered from playing super street fighter 2 on snes emulator...
