Best console RPG series, bar none. Now, if only it actually had good gameplay Something like the Grandia series' battle system. It boggles the mind how those two series could be made by the same company and have such divergence in enjoyability of their combat system.

Fishstick.

Anachronox is in the same style as 'console RPGs', but it has actually good writing. Hilarious game. I'd recommend getting this first. Otherwise, as said before. FFVII, FFVIII, Grandia2.

Overland map? Very interesting. So it's confirmed that the OC will be with 3 buddies. Neat.

Fire Emblem is pretty much the best GBA game at the moment. Golden Sun series is somewhat enjoyable.

If Jade Empire gets a PC port, then Xbox loses. Otherwise, it trumps the PS2. Jade Empire aside, there isn't much I'd want to play on the Xbox. PS2 has FFX, which I enjoyed a lot. There are a few others games I'd want to try as well, Star Ocean III, Xenosaga series, Growlanser Generations, Shadow Hearts, etc. But none more than Jade Empire.

8 was the only one I played. My fav RPG of 2001. Very fun. I love the combat and personality systems.

Combat is pretty atrocious. Disappointing.

Will post impressions. www.3dgamer.com has it too.

Really? The game really pays off once you get into it. There's not enough time in 45 minutes to get anywhere serious. Of course, its a much better game if you download a ton of mods to make it more to your liking. There are many GREAT games that, had I only judged them by the first 45 minutes, I would never have played - KotOR 2 just the most recent. Of course, sometimes I shouldn't keep waiting for the game to get started. 20 hours into Pool of Radiance before I stopped <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It took me 100 hrs to realize Morrowind was garbage. ... ... Yes. Not complete garbage, though, the soundtrack kept me in a trance, I guess. ...

Secret of Mana. It was the first time a game had mesmerized me so, and probably what made me get into real gaming. It took me a couple years more before I tackled PC RPGs.

Hmm, Ultima VII. I've been meaning to try that. HMMMMMMMMM.

I've reported each and every one of you to a moderator.

;_;

Him? Imagine what JE is feeling.

Try Brothers in Arms if you're looking for a good squad-based FPS.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether it's labelled a plot twist or not. In KOTOR2, it was never a surprise whether Kreia has her own agenda that'd most likely oppose yours soon enough. The story didn't RELY on it being a surprise. Yet, I still enjoyed the motive behind her character. In KOTOR1, the plot RELIED on the revelation as a surprise. Being blind, uneducated AND a teenager, I hadn't really seen it coming. It was enjoyable. But, the worth of the plot device was only as good as the surprise it caused. It certainly wasn't very enjoyable if you saw it coming miles ahead, and it certainly doesn't make for good replay. I tried to replay KOTOR1 and failed miserably. Yet, I can see myself replaying KOTOR2 in the near or far future.

I never saw the KOTOR2 plot twist coming

MINE! SEE? http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...4&st=0&p=135784

10 hours later...game over. ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, that's MY line!

Bah, screw Fable. I want Jade Empire PC

UT2k4 was spectacular in terms of atmosphere and intensity.

I remember S1 and 2 having enjoyable music.

They better, and without cutting corners, with well-implemented physics, and a coop campaign, and space ninja wizards and robot pirates.

ROFL That doesn't sound lame.
