    guys she's totally a really deep character because she cusses at you and also (maybe?) has a dong

    that is Good Storytelling, not like you baka gaijins would know anything about that

    There is more to her than that, but for a while, that's what you'll be hearing. She has an effed up background that you get bits of pieces of along the way.

    The director even said he was upset because people like the OST more than the game.
    (Gee, I wonder why)

    She is a great representation of a real woman because she doesn't care about others opinions of her vocabulary. And because she has a dick.

    Duh.

    you have to understand that they really, really downplay the fact that Kaine is intersexed

    like you have to actually be looking just to find it out

    so I mean I get the complaints and hey they're valid, I really wish she didn't dress so stupidly but you know

    <mysogyny> As long as they keept dressing they way they do, they can represent whatever they want. </mysogyny>

    I will say it looks semi-interesting. Though it still looks like a jrpg to me.

    Also it's really not japanese or anime at all, really

    I mean really, if you've played Drakengard 1, it's pretty much like that but with a waaaaaaaay better story, characters, and dialogue

    If nothing else, Square did an excellent job on the localization.

    maybe this thread should just be about people carrying torches for obscure games.

    i would mention ICO but it's not really that obscure. at least not on the internet

    More like cult classics. Games that have a following, but sold like crap.
    (At least I think Ico did)


    The Deception series pretty much define the term. They're all fun games(Except maybe the first one), but I don't think any of them sold well.

    Beyond Good & Evil as well as Psychonauts were very well made games that sold like shit as well if I remember correctly.

    It's not really a classic, but I loved and still love Eternal Ring which was one of the first games available for the PS2. It was a first person rpg and it was pretty fucking boss, in my mind.

    Also, I can't remember the name now, but there was a third person rpg that was also released with the PS2 that I loved. It was two games in one, in that you had two characters that you could play as, and you had to do the whole play through each character to get the real ending.

    But each one went to completely different areas of the world, so it really was a different experience.

    That sounds really familiar for some reason. If you remember the name let the world know, because I'll probably be trying to think of it for the rest of the night.

    Also, looking forward to getting used copies of Breath of Fire 3, FF Tactics, and Grandia to play all over again.

    My favorite cult game(though I own a whole bunch) is probably the Wizardry PS2 game.

    It doesn't even have a following. Only a handful know the game exists.
    (And they all love it)

    I was just wiki-ing the bouncer!
    I had never played it, but I had remembered it being an early release - like Eternal Ring.
    I was checking if it was the game Langly was talking about.

    Now I'm looking up all of the old games I used to enjoy back in the glory days of psx/ps2.

    So many good games. One day I will own used copies of them all.
