vice city stories is good?
never played either God of War, are they addictive/playable?
too often the "immersive" games only distract me until I get stuck at a level.
whereas a friend has Gears of War and we've been playing non stop cos it's quite easy.
― Ronan, Thursday, 21 June 2007 12:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Very addictive! Very story based and linear so you can just go and get it over with.
I didn't know Gears of War was on PS2! Must track it down.
VCS is not SA but it's the best of the newer GTAs by a mile!

Oh it's not on PS2, Gears of War I mean. My friend's band gave a song to Xbox and got given a massive flightcase with an Xbox 360 and a built in flatscreen TV.

i've been acquiring a box of p2 games, having never owned one before. i think they're mainly for if i get made redundant, so i don't immediately start to panic with boredom. it's about the same size as cozwn's picture of his backlog two posts previous.
today i was playing SILENT HILL 2 and it occurred to me that its secret progenitor was ZELDA. if you take the snes one as yr zelda in point then you even get the dark world/light world bullshit from it.

― his sister was like the heat cummin off the back of an old sb (Lamp), Thursday, 3 December 2009 19:31 (fourteen years ago) link
really i guess u should get dds + dds2 since the stories are intertwined and the story is the reason why its the best follow up to playing the persona series. its really combat focused tho but it improves on nocturne's system (which was a huge pain imo and really finnicky/spreadsheet-y) and the battles tend to stay tactically interesting rather than press x repeat. its also a quicker, less obsessive game than persona
i have not played the devil summoners btw
― his sister was like the heat cummin off the back of an old sb (Lamp), Thursday, 3 December 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
played about an hour of dds last night, and its pretty much what i wanted - the battle system is turn based but with some strategy to it, mercifully short cut scenes - the magic upgrade system seems to be similar to the grid thing in ffx? anyway lamp knows atlus, a+ would buy from again.

wow! bof: dragon quarter has to be the most unconventional JRPG I've ever played. I was a bit sceptical at first but after playing it for a while I am utterly hooked now. survival horror role-play gaming at its best. \o/
shining in the darkness, digital devil saga, silent hill, panzer dragoon orta, P.N.03, ico, shadow of the colossus, icewind dale, parasite eve 2
^ this is a list of games I was reminded of while playing
first of all, presentation. it looks a lot like the SMT series, and adds silent hill's grainy video filter to emphasise the dark, gritty atmosphere of the game. it looks dirty and oppressive throughout, underlined further by ryu's, his rival bosch's and nina's character design. they look ghastly (and in nina's case, frail). and there's also that incomprehensible narrator, as in pdo or sotc. to be honest, in my opinion BoF5 is more unsettling than some survival horror games (ie project zero).
then there's the gameplay. only one save slot, and you have to use one of those rare tokens to save? this will never work! thankfully I was proved wrong. it took me a fair while to understand how the game really works, but now I am convinced that capcom wanted to create the ultimate arcadey dungeon crawler. it's a bit like shining in the darkness. you enter the dungeon and try to get as far as possible (leveling up in the process). then when the going gets tough you return to the city hub, buy new items and tackle the dungeon again, which should be easier now that you're at a higher level. only in the this game the battle system is vastly more sophisticated and nearly as good as grandia's. this adds elements from P.N. 03 to the game, in that you will want to do a "perfect run". you can use the environment, traps and area effect spells (!) to your advantage, but as in P.N. 03 you're often overwhelmed when you first enter a new room. the battle system is much closer to bioware's RPGs such as icewind dale than it is to the traditional japanese systems.
next, the story. so... reduced, like ico; nina does look and act a lot like yorda too, come to think of it albeit a bit more proactive. ryu's determination to change fate has sotc vibes, with the twist that ryu is living on borrowed time, what with the D-counter that happily ticks away even if you never change into your dragon form. I have no clue what the ending is going to be like, but somehow I don't expect to see a happy one!

I went on a perilous expedition to a Gamestop in the boondox of LA in the hopes of finding this game for cheap but was foiled by the store's organizational incompetence :(
looks fun as fuck though. I don't really have time for massive RPGs with weeks of playtime (sez the guy who went home and ordered a copy of Persona 4 from Amazon in semi-protest) so a 10-hr arcade-y dungeon crawler sounds like a win to me.
