Sabo 445 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Been in a retro mood lately so I've been playing some of the PS RPG's. Just finished playing Chrono Cross. Gameplay hasn't aged too well and this is by far one of the stupidest plots I've seen in an RPG. Seriously, people think it's actually good and well written? Really? The game withholds all the important information until you get near the end and then proceeds to have massive plot dumps dropped on you one after another. No pacing, no time to really decipher what the hell is really going on, and some of the information is just so ridiculous I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Gave FF IX another chance and this time I managed to force myself to beat it. Still sucks. Gameplay is just too damn slow even with battle speed set to fastest, the plot is very straight forward and basic until you get to the halfway point of the game then the plot goes another direction that was just awful. Only three characters got character development, the rest of the cast is just there for the sake of being there. This game seriously gets by with all the referencing it does to previous games in the series. The game is perfectly content with riding the coat tails of it's predecessors. Why this game is considered to be many people's favorite FF? I don't know. This is like one of the worst in the series to me Oh well, at least I can say I played it all the way through this time. Only took about 10 years but I finally did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 445 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Actually played through CT before I played through CC and still enjoyed the game today as much as I did back when it first released. CT just ages very well, even though the battle mechanics are dated it never feels dated. Hard to explain but it's just a really entertaining combat system. CT definitely deserves it's mention when people start discussing about the best JRPGs ever made. It really is a timeless classic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,972 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Dragon Age 2....and Okamiden Quote Link to post Share on other sites
User Name 21 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I've been playing Basara 3, and I have no idea how Az made it through the storyline for every character. You're just repeating the same dozen stages over and over, and the level designs are simple too. At first I thought it was okay because the characters are faster than in Dynasty Warriors and the presentation is pretty nice, but after awhile I feel like I'm doing time on a assembly line.

Guest Golem Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I loved the original Motorstorm, waiting for a good price to pick up the sequel. I almost bought a ps3 for MS and then it got delayed. You never picked up Pacific Rift? Both games are dirt cheap here now, and it's definitely a nice step forward for the series. The latest(apocalypse) on the other hand.. I'm sort of mixed about. It's alright but the demo only offers supercars and superbikes, which both feel floaty because of their speed. They also just don't make much sense in a motorstorm game, due to the limited terrain you can handle in comparison to dirt bikes and rally cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soup 105 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Spent like 10 hours with Dragon Age II this weekend. At this rate I'll never finish Castlevania. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,972 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Dragon Age 2....and Okamiden Does Okamiden start out anywhere near as dead slow as Okami? yeah. im 3 hours in and its starting to pick up though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelfish 93 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Overall, how is Okamiden so far? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,972 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 it feels like a pretty big rehash since they re-use most of the same settings, music, abilities, characters, etc. But i loved okami so im perfectly fine with having more of the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BLACKICE 11 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Beat singularity. It was like a less imaginative, smaller budget but better gunplay bioshock.
