[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

If you like Grandia Xtreme I think that'll make us the only two people on the forums that do. It's totally one of my favorite RPGs for the PS2 because it's entirely battles with hardly any boring plot (unfortunately, there still is a little bit of one). Be sure to take the character that can steal, that's how you get the best equipment all throughout the game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Have you played Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter? Q told me to buy it after he heard I like Grandia Xtreme, and I have to say, it was a pretty solid recommendation. Minimal story and a pretty fun battle system.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh.

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

I'm guessing all of them are 18?

Yeah, but being able to see monsters (at least in some areas) and possibly the best puzzles in an RPG makes it a pretty quality game from the SNES.

You probably think Earthbound has crappy gameplay too.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Target near me just dropped Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s for the PS2 (only console it's out for, right?) to $20, so while I was in there I picked up a copy of that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I got Fallout 3 for Christmas. Pretty addicted to it so far, though I can't think of many other games that make me feel almost exhausted after playing them for a while (I don't bother with VATS much yet).

Ugh, enjoy opening those jump gates in Galactrix.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hey IM, I'd be a bit wary. I don't see the Nintendo Seal of Approval anywhere on the case.

Just bought Psychonauts on Steam for $2 and came to this thread to let people know about the deal. Guess I was beaten to the punch!

I played through that a little while ago term. It's a fun game, though it gets annoying that as soon as you finally level your heroes up you lose them since you start a new chapter.

Also, after playing through the game a bit you start to realize how rape the Elves are.

Almost bought Okami, which I want to play, along with some other random crap game for $14 during EB's Buy 1 Get 1 sale, but talked myself out of it when I looked at the huge stack of PS2 games I haven't even touched yet.

Gave Onimusha 2 a go after really enjoying the first one a long time ago, but the fixed camera angles along with too many enemies attacking from off screen made me drop it after a few hours.

Started playing Musashi Samurai Legend last night, and I'm actually enjoying it a bit so far. It's not quite as good as the first (I really liked the original's system of stealing techniques from enemies), but it's not nearly as bad as everyone said it was. Musashi's voice actor is so bad I make it a point to NOT skip his lines since they're delivered with the weirdest cadence ever (and strange pronunciation at times). But surf-rock guitar during a random bullshit motorcycle sequence? HELL YEAH.

Haven't watched through it yet since I don't want to spoil the minimal plot there is, but this clip claims to show how terrible the acting is.

Be sure not to play the game on the easiest combat setting, otherwise Muramasa will get plain kinda quick. =/
