I'm surprised no one else voted for Dark Cloud 2!
Yeah, me too - a lot of lovely cel-shaded grindy crafting action RPG, and a minigame where after you clear a dungeon, you play golf in it!
Jak 3 makes me wonder if all of the Jaks will appear - it is kind of the Poochie of PS2.

I understand there are a lot of people who love Kingdom Hearts 2, but I understand they are probably busy still playing it.

I am playing through the Jak HD Collection right now, currently near the end of Jak II, and oh man, there were some seriously bad decisions made with this series.

Viewtiful Joe is more complex in terms of gameplay and graphics, but Hominid is much funnier and more fun, in my opinion. Hominid is essentially just Contra with fun graphics, but it is a total blast to play and really awesome and replayable. - Polyphonic

Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance is fantastic, but not like the others: it's more like Gauntlet in (invisible) D&D rules. But with a Beholder! - afarrell

Okay, so i have found the game for me and it's name is RATCHET AND CLANK OMG. - nordicskillaWomen need to be shown that certain things are good for them, like Ratchet & Clank. - nordicskilla
ratchet and clank is too good. o how nostalgic I am for that video game aesthetic. - thor

lol @ 6 points from 2 votes for TTT - I actually enjoyed it a lot, but it is probably the last Tekken game I played much of.
Ratchet & Clank is all-time, but it is definitely one of those video games that gets better as the series goes along.

oooh, worse that Killer Croc in Arkham Asylum?
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 12 November 2012 19:37 (eleven years ago) link
god actually, yes. although the killer croc levels had 10 years of decent game design to look back on and say "what the fuck are we doing" so it seems more egregious in some ways.
― before you post, consider just admitting you are wrong (jjjusten), Monday, 12 November 2012 19:40 (eleven years ago) link
I will say, surprisingly, that playing the Killer Croc level a second time and knowing how it was supposed to work was much, much easier to deal with
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 12 November 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
Croc levels were nowhere near the awfulness of that Max Payne level. And God of War did it again later, though at least it wasn't in a pitch black room.

And for Mister Mosquito:
This was actually pretty awful but whenever I think about the kind of lovable weirdness that Japanese games used to provide (and don't any more), this is always the one that pops into my head. Rubbish gameplay, rubbish visuals, rubbish presentation, but a fun enough idea that none of those even mattered really. You had to bite a girl on the boob while she was alseep in the bath! When one of the humans spotted you and got angry and tried to kill you, you had to calm them down by bumping into specific pressure points around their bodies!

http://i.imgur.com/IL869.jpg# 86 - Front Mission 4 - 8 Points - 1 Vote
FUN GAME: See if you can apply the Front Mission 4 quote to the ilXor!
1. I feel like after subjecting myself to 2 hours each of Front Mission 4 and XenoSaga I can deal with just about anything, as long as it's not that
2. Front Mission 4 was ASS
3. Front Mission 4. It's awful.
4. still disappointed that front mission 5 never came stateside
5. Front Mission 4 has exactly 100% no fantasy bullshit in it at all. If you ever wanted to play a square enix tactical take on a sort of masamune shirow mecha universe, it's pretty good.
6. Amnesia and orphans may be a cheap cliche but I'd play 1000 of those games before I'd try anything remotely resembling the aforementioned Xenosaga/Front Mission garbage ever again.
7. Sometimes the options are kind of useless, though, I mean they exist but what's the fucking point? This is why I hate Front Mission 4 SO MUCH.

Decisions undoubtedly informed by the fact that GTA is making a lot of money, oh yes.
At some point though, someone undoubtedly said "extreme" with a straight face, and a guitar squeal materialised out of nowhere, haunting all present.
