What are you playing?

[ChaosCorpse]

Great feeling, eh? I got the preorder bonus for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts without preordering. A free copy of Banjo Kazooie is always nice...

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.

Hm, I've been considering to play Okami since I've first heard of it a year or two ago; but I don't own a PS2- and my new PS Triple Slim does not support playing PS2 games; forcing me have to use the Wii port of Okami. I'm a little skeptical about how a Wii version might turn out because I'd imagine the controls might be so-so and the controls might feel less precise and somewhat awkward. Would anyone care to inform me how good the Wii version is?

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 .

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 .

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.

Okage. One of the very first PS2 RPGs and it's god awful but it's also a LOT of fun. Hilarious cast, tons of side-quests, and a semi-evil bad guy tag-along. So good.

edit: after Okage play Rhapsody. It's really bad in a really bad way but it's only like 12 hours long at most so...

[Nature]

Dante's Inferno and Bioshock 2. Honestly Dante's Inferno doesn't at all seem like its trying to be a god of war clone. Bioshock 2 is a very good game i want to see if the story as a good as part one as well.

Jenova.LIFE keeps owning me, so I put down FF7 for now. I'm probably going to replay kh2 or ratchet and clank 'till next month.

WHY BARRET WHY VINCENT.

It's okay I guess. I recommend you get Fang into your team. And get some HP enhancements.

[Piggy 2.0]

Fang? Who dat? And comparing myself to some youtube vidyas, I did something wrong.

lvl 48-50 at that time in the game. Wut.

[Rob]

I'm pretty sure.

[Rob]

Wait, lets get our facts straight... Jenova.LIFE was at the end of 1st Disc right?

I see hardcore in that title.

[Piggy 2.0]

Meh. I dunno why they do titles like that. But he died at like lvl 48 or something.

[Sarah]

iirc LIFE is nearing the end of Disc 2 on the way to the 'reunion'.

but those videos shows when Aerith dies.

lol you edited your post

[Sarah]

lol you edited your post

Only edit I made was changing rebirth to reunion, which are exactly the same part. Also what videos? There are none here.

Anyway, if it's the one in City of The Ancients, then you shouldn't need to be over level 35. That battle is easy, just pummel her.

[Piggy 2.0]

That's just the thing. if she uses aqua lung I'm fu cked. It 1hkos all my characters.

[Sarah]

Equip an aqua ring (should've found one in the city of the ancients) to someone and then try if that's your only problem.

[Herbert Jablonski]

Finished Paper Mario and Psychonauts and now I'm starting my first play-through of Wild Arms.

[Tay]

Trying to play Pokemon Platinum on No$GBA,
but I get random lag farts when I'm not in battle and it's annoying so I give up. Have yet to find a solution.
