[PS2] Must Own PS2 Games, or how many middling JRPGs can you suggest?

Hahaha, what? The voice acting in FFX is some of the worst I've ever heard in a game. The only I can think of as bad as FFX is Suikoden Tactics.

I think everyone with a PS2 should play Suikoden V. After the very sketchy IV and Tactics, SV is a real return to form for the series. The story is great, the characters well realised and it's basically awesome.

I also reckon FFXII is a great game. The plot's a bit more grown up than previous Final Fantasy's and the gambit thingy for combat means you can grind without having to constantly tap the X button.

God of War is a top game, Rez is essential and The Warriors is a great little game too.

How ya doing, buddy?

Correction. Burnout 3 was just as online capable on Xbox as Revenge was. Well, the servers were a bit slow and if you had a PAL console you had to have it set to PAL60 display mode to play with Septics but the online was there none-the-less. I was rather good at it as it happens.

Revenge had a better crash mode, once you got the hang of it and the tracks were better designed too. The only downside was being to drive through traffic from behind which meant if you kept on the correct side of the road it was very hard to crash, compared to Takedown. Both great games though, I was so upset when they fucked it all up with Paradise.

Also, has anyone mentioned Frequency yet? It was kind of a precursor to all the Guitar Hero type games where you used the shoulder buttons of the controller to play along to a tune and had to juggle all the different instruments at once, moving between the different tracks at will. Had some great music on and is a top game for chilling out.

Thinking about it, I think all my favourite PS2 games are ones that Qwarky has either recommended or sent to me. The man's a legend frankly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I quite liked the first Zone of the Enders. Yeah, it's not the longest game in the world but the combat is reasonably fast paced and fun enough, the controls work well, I don't remember getting pissed off with it at any point when I played it and for $5 you can't exactly complain can you?

Also, RR, get God of War 2, it's perfect for sitting down and playing an hour at a time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just as a matter of interest, what's your definition of a short game? I only ask as I never finished GoW2 but I can't remember how many hours I spent playing it before I got distracted.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think I must play games incredibly slowly compared to a lot of people. I can't remember how long I was playing GoW2 before I stopped but it was a good nine hours at least I'm sure and I didn't even get to the end. It seems to have taken me twice as long to finish my first run at story mode in Too Human than most people too.

Obviously I'm methodical, not just slow...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ugh, just no. I don't think I've ever played a game that took as long to get going as this and was still so boring when it got there. This is one of the worst SRPGS I ever played.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
