What are you playing?

I played two hours of Persona 3 last night. By "play" I mean pressing X to skip through dialogue.

The game gives you dialogue and gameplay in pretty large chunks. Once you get into the dungeon, you can play for hours with no dialogue. Once you get out, time for school, taking friends to tea, soccer practice... all via dialogue.

If you don't know anything about the game, that opening is pretty crazy though.

I'm not complaining, although it may have sounded like I was.

In all honesty, I'm just discovering my PS2 library, and it has been nothing short of a delectation. The Persona series, Suikoden series, hack series, Shadow Hearts series, Rogue series...etc. all of these games are a bit mind blowing. I have Years upon years of great games to catch up on, which is kind of my MO to begin with, so I'm as happy as a clam.

And no offense to those all up on the xbone and ps4 (or ps3 for that matter) but I LOVE being almost a decade behind when it comes to "modern gaming". My PS2 has been a FFX, NHL 2002, and Tekken Tag machine for years now and I'm just getting in to all the hidden gems. Truly an incredible console.

Same.

Although I'm way more than a decade behind.

Luke, I didn't even know you were into RPGs.

Yeah, I wouldn't have expected that at all.


When you struggle to find time to play through any game longer than an hour, 40-80 PS2 RPGs seems like an unlikely genre for you.

I started playing a game called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I got it on PSN+ a while back, and with me getting my PS3 gaming back in gear I noticed I had the game. I would akin it to something along the lines of Fable and Elder Scrolls mash-up; others might have a different RPG in mind though (I base mine on the RPG knowledge I do have). If it is still available on PSN+ I would recommend check it out.

I'm an equal opportunity gamer, as any good game is a good game.

I prefer games that don't take days to complete, but RPG's definitely deserve their place in my game library. In fact, I really want to replay Dragon Warrior for the NES (I just have to find the time to play it).

Love your avatar. How is Resist and Serve?

never saw this. thanks- resist or serve is extremely hard to control, overly dark, and poorly animated, but it does survival horror really well- you really feel like you're desperate to find bullets, health packs, etc. It's also an exciting (and sometimes funny, if not always intentionally) x-files experience.

no worries. It sounds like it would match my expectations exactly, i'll have to stay on the lookout for this one. Can't get enough x-files at the moment.

You might also consider checking out The X-Files Game, which is a point and click that acts like a lost episode. It came out on PC and PlayStation, though the PS1 game has problems playing on a PS2.

Well Viking battle for asgarth started pretty good... but after 5 hours i finished the first island and now i'm in another... and i have to do the same things agains and so far the combat is just X X X X and finish the enemy with square... the new combos from the ancestors are not so good... does this get better?
