    i loved the vast array of moves and customization in KOTOR 2

    the loose plot threads fuckin' killed me, though

    i really wanted to see the ideal version

    do you want to go back to how it was

    do you

    I was disappointed.


    Perhaps it is my own fault that I want a Star Wars game that lives up to my high expectations.

    and how did it fail to meet your expectations

    don't tell me it's because you could use a sword against a lightsaber

    because I'll kill you in your sleep

    that's what WRPGs are, cj iwakura.

    my main beef with most JPRGs is how fucking awful their combat systems are

    Play SMT. Press Turn system makes everything better.

    its almost done, i thought

    they keep saying that

    at this point it'll have a longer development time than duke nukem forever

    but it won't be an ass sandwich like DNF

    the fact that the initials for that game are the same as Did Not Finish makes me wonder if this is all an elaborate april fools gag for 2012

    you know

    just in time for the apocalypse

    Everything about lightsaber combat in that game was stupid.

    I am willing to give you a couple of dudes with that lightsaber-resistant armor and weapons.


    When ever last motherfucker in the game has it, you have breached my suspension of disbelief.

    It's as close to a WRPG as JRPGs get, since it focuses on alignments and player-decided paths and what not.

    The core series at least.

    The writing in Kotor was pretty okay.

    Making the player the villian was a neat twist.

    But yeah, most combat encounters and lightsaber combat in general need a lot more work.

    I knew it

    you're one of those guys

    listen if you could play that game as a full blown jedi with all the powers of one, your game would last about half a minute

    maybe longer if everybody else you fought was also a jedi

    concessions have to be made for the sake of gameplay

    I like RPGs with multiple paths and branching dialogue, so that was a big point in KotOR's favor.

    Probably why Growlanser II is my favorite SRPG.

    The one about the serial killer, rumors, news reporters, wire hackers, detectives. It's pretty one of a kind, especially since all the main characters are adults.

    I am really looking forward to Alpha Protocol, that game looks raaaaad and I hope it's not too buggy

    also Dragon Age looks pretty neat

    And Rachel's of course looking forward to Mass Effect 2 and I look forward to watching her play through it like six to eight times

    That is absurd. And believe me, I am a big proponent of gameplay first.

    But you may have noticed that every fight in that game was you versus three to five people.

    That's bad design, especially for a game that's trying to convince you that you are a jedi.

    Copy/pasting a rule system designed for medieval melee weapons onto lightsabers and blasters is lazy, and sucks.

    The only time the combat made any sense to me was in that Dark Jedi academy.

    aren't the persona games just like friend simulators with some christian symbolism to make the people playing it think its deep

    We've been over this before. SMT games have demons from all sorts of mythologies, including Hinduism, Catholism, Celtic, Shinto, Buddhist, etc. Persona's just a side story of that series, so it involves the same entities.

    Like how all the FFs have Chocobos and Tonberries and what not.

    oh boy, the sims

    my wife will probably pick it up

    I played the first one, and man, I was addicted to it until I realized how inane it felt to me

    not that I'm condemning it or its fans, but jesus, I was obsessed with my little man getting a promotion and nailing his hot redheaded neighbor

    and when you're more concerned with the life goals of a tiny gibbering computer man than your own, it's time to lay off the juice.
