Random Gaming Thoughts

Not to be pedantic but it was Tales of Destiny II in North America. Tales of Destiny 2 is a completely different game! Gotta love RPG localization.

My mistake; I knew about the sequel, but I was too lazy to specify the difference.

'Sall good. I've actually played the Japan-only Tales of Destiny 2 but have never been able to track down the super expensive Tales of Destiny II. Maybe some day.

After being completely sucked into Persona 4 Golden I decided to check on Persona 5. I really hope it comes to Xbox 360 because if it's anywhere near as good as 4 Golden is then I would probably waste money on buying yet another PS3 for it.

I have my fingers crossed. The Persona team did bring Catherine to 360, and Persona 4 Arena is on it as well.

I'd prefer it would just come to PC though. Or Vita.

I feel like every time I'm feeling listless in my life I get the urge to cull my gaming collection. I don't know why, maybe a spring cleaning mentality? But at the same time it's also when I get the urge to buy more, because I think everyone tries to fill holes in their life with material possessions to some degree or another.

Realistically, the only stuff I can see myself selling (unless there's a *major* change in my life) is the stuff I don't have much of to begin with - my Odyssey, my Channel F... that's about it. The Atari I don't have much personal nostalgia for (shut up, we had a Colecovision), but so many friends do that it'd be a shame to get rid of it. And everything from SMS/NES era late 2nd gen onwards, I have at least some level of nostalgia for, be it playing or looking at ads for.

And even that ain't particularly likely. If nothing else, I don't like shipping things, I'm not good at it

I'm thinking of selling off some stuff too, just to narrow my interests down to what I really like and to create some space. Might sell my Genesis, Virtual Boy, Game Gear, Dreamcast, and Intellivision stuff off in the next little while.

Got a copy of Jack Bros?

Only one I need for a complete US retail set.

Nope! Do you actually play your VB? Mine has been sitting on my shelf in its plastic case for about three years now and I think it's time for it to go. I don't find it particularly fun to play either.

Ehhh... I play it as much as I play anything these days, which is to say not much. But it's one of my favorite conversation pieces. The VB, the Vectrex, the Neo Geo AES... those are the ones that always seem to get the most interest from people who come over. I DO like a lot of the games for the VB though, and I enjoy playing it when I do.

But yeah, the part where I don't really play all that much anymore is part of why I occasionally like the idea of spring cleaning. But I never really do it, because I know I'll be sad if I were to sell anything. Hell, I sold my spare 3DO the other day (wasn't sad to see it go) and I still cringed at including a couple games with it EVEN THOUGH my primary one has been modded for USB loading, so my original games aren't even worth anything to me anymore! And they were disc-only, not even like they were CIB. I dunno, I guess I'm a hoarder for video games.

It's not unreasonable for it to come to the 360. I doubt it, as few RPGs come out for the 360 anymore, and when they do, they're solely for the benefit of the western market. That said, we did see P4A on the 360, so anything's possible. Now the PC... that's another story.

The Vita can start with Persona 4 Golden and end with Persona 5 and I'll call the whole affair a success.
