I remember once they ran out of pre-orders for a game I had pre-ordered and they just showed me a box of random pre-order leftovers to take whatever I liked. They only had crap though. Only real good stuff I've seen is given out to dev teams. Sure I got a jacket from one of my titles, but I wish I wasn't off when a certain Action RPG I liked passed through since they were giving out pirate flags.
Own Okami PS2 and rented Okami Wii. Sorry to say, but you are right that the controls are a bit off; although I suppose you can get used to it. If you think that you'd ever get a PS2, rent the Wii one just for the experience, then buy the PS2 one. Or you could do the whole free Gamestop 7 day rental thing if you want to be cheap :wink:.
Put it off for ages since I knew I'd have my ass handed to me, but I tried out The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil... and I was right.
Finally got around to finishing FF7 for the first time and proceeded to watch the movie. Sad this list of games on my shelves that I've never gotten around to finishing. It's pretty bad when you don't even remember what genre some of the games you own are.
As for right now, no more MS for a while. Replaying Psychonauts on the PC since it was 2 bucks the other day. Looking to take a stab at finishing the old megaman and sonic the hedgehog collections for the first time too. Been trying to finish Ar Tonelico, but I'm just not enjoying it as much as I did the Atlier Iris games for some reason even though they are practically the same. I also put down Valkrye Profile after I found out my first playthrough couldn't get the best ending 40 or so hours in, so I should get back to that. Then there's Star Ocean 2 which I never touched... and the incomplete xenosaga series.
*sigh* Just not enough platformers these days to balance out the RPGs I have to get through. I used to alternate through, but the trend seemed to be play RPG for 3 days, play and beat platformer for one day. I just can't find too many good ones with decent story/length anymore. And from what I'm learning from the PC Psychonauts, I don't really like how a PC handles with one. Wish I had the budget to buy a newer gen console... granted with 60+ incomplete games in my library, I just need to get done with what I got :f7:.
Anyone mind recommending one of the following games that I haven't touched from my collection for me to jump into next?
Metal Saga (PS2), Shining Tears (PS2), Star Ocean 2 (PS1), Rhapsody (PS1), Eternal Poison (PS2), Growlancer [Anything, got all of em] (PS2), Thousand Arms (PS1), MGS3 (PS2), FF 1,2,4,5,8 (PS1), Okage (PS2), Ys (PS2), Luminous Arc (DS), Ruin Factory (DS), Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GC), Evolutionary Worlds (GC).
I realize some of those are likely to be crappy, but back when I had income, I had this strange obsession to own every RPG released for the PS2 around. As a collector, I regret that budget wasted which could have been used now for current gen stuff.
