Final Fantasy Tactics got hard when fighting Weigraf, but I trumped that by getting Ninjas in the first chapter and Hand Guard for all my characters (or was it Finger Guard?). But I'd have to say the hardest game for me to play ever was Morrowind because I would forget to turn the difficulty down and die before I even got out of the first town.
Everquest was another one that took me awhile to get into, I was too noobish with MMO's at the time. Well, we all have to start somewhere right?
It is a good game. It has some of the best voice acting I've heard in awhile. It also has some of the most crushing graphics on the PS2 to date in an RPG. I love the way it flows seemlessly instead of loadscreen after loadscreen. I would definitely suggest. It's money well spent.
Well I really want to get into the Silent Hill series after seeing the movie and I bought Silent Hill 2 but I can't stand the fact that I have to run around alot and search more then acctualy doing things like getting scared, puzzles, ect. So I was wondering if Silent hill 3 or 4 are a bit more linear or has less running around aimlisly.blazinpapi8888
I always thought one was the most linear and three was the least. Four is actually very linear now that I think about it because there's only so much you can do in you're room and you HAVE to go to one area or the next which are all pretty much straight lines. It's a little more convoluted though so you may need to read a synopsis on the story.
Sure, I think eventually it'll drop to $99, but I think it will hang at $130 for awhile just like it did while the PSOnes were getting phased out. If you remember, they released the "slimline" PSone and that, if I remember right, was $120 (I could be wrong though--it was awhile ago). I remember seeing them after the second Christmas after the PS2's came out and they were finally $99. It'll happen for sure, but I think you may need to see the PS3's either actually sell themselves or just by it used.
Around here we have a used-CD, consol, and game store. I bought a Dreamcast for $15 bucks there and the PS2's are priced at around $45. I know the Gamecube is about the same amount. I think XBox is the most though at a whopping $60 but if you're gonna get the system, just get it used and don't feel bad about it. I don't see any real reason to buy a new system because all the money you end up shelling out drowns you in expenses (that in my opinion are in no way necessary).
I bought my PS2 for college from there and I bought a modchip because I learned from FFT, Xenogears and FFVIII that if you play a game enough it tends not to run very well. I just recopy my games and play them on the PS2 and I don't have to shell out another $80 for a game that should be $20.
Most boring game ever? I think the most boring game I've played on PS2 yet is Xenosaga Episode One. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Xenogears but Namco should have taken a little more than plot and some character names to make a good game. The game was so...flat. It reminded me of Digital Devil Saga with some of it overdone, nonsenical drivel of a 30-minute cutscene.
But after three years, two memory card crashes, three different times through the Encephalon, and a lot of Tylenol later I've finally beaten it and will move on to Episodes two and three because I hear they're better. We'll see, ya?
When I was living on base, about ten years ago, I had a friend named Eric who had an older brother named Ian. They were both pretty cool and on my swim team so I would go over to their house a lot because I was too poor for a Playstation--I eventually got on of course because of them. The first game I ever remember seeing was Jumping Flash (good game) but the next one I remember was Final Fantasy VII. We would play that game for hours on end and I thought it so fascinating because the characters were so alive. I had no idea it was the first 3D RPG of its time and I also had no idea that it had one of the greatest video game music composers of all time working on it: Nobuo Uematsu. In fact, it was largely because of Nobuo's music that I remember some scenes so vividly and it is hard to translate the respect I feel to my brothers because they were not there for it. It's like listening to old Concrete Blonde or The Cranberries' albums. You remember the moment through the music. The music is like a vessel that you use to actually feel and smell where you were at and that's why Final Fantasy VII is such a big deal to me.
My friend Eric and I would play outside with his twin sister and he would want to be Zack (because he was the "Real Cloud" he said) and I would be Cloud because Cloud was always the coolest. We would run up and down the base housing with sticks and beat eachother senseless. When I eventually did get a Playstation it was around the time Final Fantasy Tactics came out (which is a close second-favorite to VII) which instilled the same sense of awe that VII had. From there, I branched off into the older Final Fantasies and worked upwards to 8, then 9 and so on. I even gave XI a shot, but that was a mistake (somehow the computer put me on Carbuncle server which doesn't exist anymore).
