    Yeah, the Ys games are typically action RPGs. More like Zelda than like Final Fantasy. Oath of Felghana is one of the best of the series.

    FF is considered an action rpg? It has random battles.

    No, it isn't. He said that in being an action RPG and like Zelda, Ys is not like FF.

    The "action" part of Ys is pretty hilarious, though. You just run straight into enemies until they die.

    Someone needs to make a full conversion mod for Jade Empire and turn it into an Avatar the Last Airbender game.

    I quite like this idea.

    After beating ME3 I really really want to play through Jade Empire but I just can't bring myself to dropping the $15 on it.

    I also eagerly await a Crusader Kings 2 sale.

    Miracle upon miracle, I finished Bulletstorm and actually cleared a game off the ol' backlog.

    Many dicks were killed. Much fun had.

    I have played so much Burnout Paradise. 100%'d the single player and done a good amount of the multiplayer challenges. Too bad they never released all the DLC for PC. I could see myself going back to it and playing with new people.

    Like the only motorcycles I've been successfully able to control in games is the minigames in SR3 where everything explodes around you. Because otherwise, I invariably have the motorbike explode with me on it instead

    Your talents sound pitch perfect for a Burnout game, though.

    Burnout Paradise has motorcycles, but what you can do with them is kinda limited. You can't mix bikes and cars and you can't do bike races.

    I just got out of the hospital after a 3 day stay there, decide to take a nap because i'm still feeling a bit run down. Wake up to find that the great and generous Sir @Raiden333 sent me a copy of burnout paradise while I was napping. <3 Super Classy gentleman A+++ would race with again.

    Oath in Felghana actually has an attack button! I think it's all the games before Ys 6 that had that unique attack system.

    edit: except for Ys 3, which was a sidescroller RPG and coincidentally was remade as Oath in Felghana.

    Some still work. Good luck and try the keys around those that were just activated by others.

    Look, if you're even thinking "hey, should I buy Burnout?" then you should buy Burnout.

    Based on my experience with NWN1, I'd guess I'd prefer to just play IWD in the IWD engine. That's some dedication, though.

    The dev is super super active on the steam forum and is really nice to talk to. I don't own the game and I don't know why I ended up on the steam forum for his game. I am guessing he makes another game as well.

    Is this a joke, or did they really copy OMD name with no shame at their faces?
    They got beat twice: in 2006 and 2009.

    It even goes back as far as 1991!

    Yeah, the more recent remakes and entries in the series have actual attack mechanics. I remember Ys III being on the SNES looooong ago, so Oath (the remake of III) allows me to actually play something I never got around to trying out back as a kid.

    This is weird.

    I'm installing Mass Effect 1 now. From an installer. That I ran off a CD. Which asked for my CD key. When it's done, I'll apply the patch that I downloaded from a website. Considering how used I am to just pressing the "Install" button, this feels almost like historical reenactment.

    ...

    Maybe I should just buy it on Steam.

    I know right? I reinstalled ME2 just recently because I remembered I never actually finished it (because of the fucking stupid mineral scanning crap -- we lost the Mako for this bullshit?). The damn thing comes on two DVDs and I had forgotten how loud optical drives are.

    It was like I time-traveled back to the 90s, man.

    I still plan on getting Oath in Felghana on my PSP, but I will most likely gift the two Ys games for G&T Adventure Group in order to show support for JRPG's on Steam.

    You can register your ME2 CD key on Origin if you wanted to. ME1 is too old and doesn't work though.

    I did. It was still faster to install from disc than download crazy gigs because I don't have mad Swedish internet and shit. Just enough to finish the last companion mission, hack the save to get mad resources, finish the stupid thing, and uninstall.
