Official Non-Square Enix games discussion thread

We all know this union is all about Square Enix games. However we all know that that's not the only games we play. So we will have this only thread at SEE where we can discuss any kind of game - post away what are your thoughts on the new non-Square Enix game you just bought, what games you are currently playing, criticize them and etc... you get the idea! Feel free to do it on this topic.

That being said, are you currently playing a non-SE game? What game? How's it? 

Odinunlimited: I also like this series! I've played the third (from the new world) and the story is really cool! IpodHero176: I'm still having to beat hard mode, lol. All I can get so far is easy and medium; part that I still need much training! XDmichelle_moraes

Me too, I need to do Hard, but I'm trying to master Medium.

I'm going back and playing Guitar Hero 2, mostly to perfect some of the songs. Surprisingly, Freebird isn't one of them.IpodHero176

im interested in starting that series when I have time... what's so great about the series?crushgoil

 i only played the first two, but it's the most emotional story you'll ever play, and a great love story if you like those. I also cried in the second game and I don't think I've done that very often (maybe one or two other times?)

Hahaha it seems quite some of us play GH. It is indeed a wonderful game. I love playing Freebird and Sweet Child of Mine! But my favorite is Cherry Pie, that song just energizes me.michelle_moraes

I love Cherrie Pie, it's on my Itunes. Did you make a review of GH2?

Yeah, I made a review for GH2. That's a good idea with the Chocobo Tales review idea.

I've been playing Xenosaga. Not the best battle system I've ever seen, but fun. I've pretty much been sucked in by the story line.danmccarthy2

I never played Xenogears(I was close, but the guy at Gamestop didn't have the game discs, just the case:( ). I loved Xenosaga though.

I just came in here to say...

 Legend Of Dragoon = GREAT Game...

:P 

Any PC gamers here...? I just picked up stalker a while ago actually, and it's really fun. I'm also playing lots of Oblivion!queen_valentine

I love Oblivion.

Yeah, I play PC games too! I didn't hav the courage to play Phantasy Star Online on the PS2, so I got it for PC. I have Oblivion too, but I don't play this game that much... I also like games like Starcraft and Dawn of War! And of course, I also play Neverwinter Nights (my favorite rpg series for pc) and Baldur's Gate. Now I need to get Jade Empire, since I didn't have a Xbox back then... 

I don't play PC games anymore.. I do have Oblivion for the ps3 though.crushgoil

Anymore? Why don't you play now? Because of the upgrading aspect of PC?

Yea, I really like Neverwinter nights too. I only have the first one though. I really like the Unreal Tournament series too. I wanna get FEAR and Prey sometime in the future. And the next Half-Life episode when it comes out.

If I was to label myself on what kind of a gamer I have been lately, I'd say handheld gamer. It is just better for me to be able to play whenever and wherever I am... the only thing so far is that there isn't many rpgs and with good storylines for handhelds... michelle_moraes

I would be a handheld gamer currently too.

I suggest Rogue Galaxy! I've played for quite some time, and I think it is great, though you may have to get used to the battle system. Other than that, it is a pretty good game. I'm also looking forward to Atlus' Odin  Sphere! But this one isn't released yet.

I'm going to save up for DMC4:DIpodHero176

You got a PS3?! Or a 360? 

Hey, can anyone recommend some really good non-Square RPG games? When it comes to RPGs I tend to stick with SE but I wanna start playing some different things. I was thinking of getting Rogue Galaxy.queen_valentine

These are some non-SE RPG's I can personally recommend from my own gaming library Grandia 2, Suikoden 3, Legaia 2, any game from the Shadow Hearts series (although the creators of the series are made up of a group that splintered off of Squaresoft, so I don't know if that's OK) and if you have an extreme amount of time and patience or don't feel the need to complete every minuscule aspect of a game Star Ocean:Till the end of time.

Cool, thanks, I'll check 'em out. I've heard that Star Ocean games were pretty lengthy, so maybe I won't try that one just yet. :P

I would like to buy a Castlevania on DS, Dawn of Sorrow or Portrait of Ruin, but I never played any Castlevania, you know, I don't want to buy a game that I'll never play, so, umm, is it good ? I know, Gamespot gave great score but I would like to hear what players have to say.

P.S.: What does sorrow mean ? :D 

I played Portrait of Ruin (I hadn't played a castlevania since SNES) and it was really fun. I would recommend it.

 Also I think sorrow means being sad or something like that

Fingertrap

Sorrow means feeling deep sadness.

I've always wanted to get into Castlevania too but never have just 'cause I've never played one!

Sorrow means feeling deep sadness.Celes

Thanks, that's what I thought.

I'll get Dawn of Sorrow and my brother Portrait of Ruin ;)

I might get Diamond/Pearl in a few weeks. My friend just got it.IpodHero176

I recently received Diamond as a gift from a friend and I'm soooooo addicted!!!  I highly recommend it! (and no I'm not a huge pokemon fan, this is actually the first one I've owned myself, otherwise I've just played the first one when a friend owned it so long ago.
