There are times that I think I'm going through a 12-year-old-boy adolescent phase. I want to game all the time, especially PS2 and computer games. [shakes head]
I'm into the 60+ hours rpgs where I want to find every chest and do every quest. Sometimes several time, if the background story is well done. [must buy the good games!]
[making note; add to my buy list; make note to visit 'game FAQs'] I've seen the ads for it and it looks well-designed. From your recommendation, I take it that the game-play does not disappoint?
Never heard of the series before this. I have now read that playing the earlier versions are not needed to play SO 3 [sort of like how many of the Shin Megami Tenchi series are stand-alones]. But the reviews of SO 3 are very favorable. I hope I can find a copy of it at the local EB Games.
Indeed. But there are soo many games that LOOK fantastic, but really aren't worth the $60, and I can usually elect to buy them through GameFly if I want to keep them. It's nice. And as far as replay... FFVI (originally released as FFIII in the US) is my fav game of all time, and I've replayed it WELL into the double digits, lol. I want them to remaster it SO BAD!
I haven't tried that one yet. I do intensely love FF7 [best story, ever IMO], think FFX has the best-EVAR graphics [and it is in my top 5 favorites]. Plus I really like Shin Megami Tenshi Nocturne; Shadowhearts 1 [2 is only so-so] - and have a real soft spot for Alpha Centauri [a PC game]
(well, what's wrong with it in MY case is discovering that I no longer have the reflexes of a teenager, or even late-20s person. I can't beat up people in Battle Arena Toshinden with NEARLY the same reliability...)
Heh heh - I've -never- had the reflexes of a teenager - always been pretty darned clumsy. So 'twitch' games and 'active battle screens' are anathema to me, just because I'm terrible at them.

Perhaps we could arrange to swap games. I miss my groovy commentary from ASH.
