Judge Hades

Okay, fine. Here is the lithmus test then. If the PS1 game version of X-Com works on the PS3 and plays adequately well without 20 hour lag time on the computer side of things I will get a PS3 instead of a X-Box 360.

Well, at least I tried. *stabs at Billy Bob's foot* Damn, I think I might need a bigger sword.

I was talking about the pill thingie. What were you thinking?

*Hades One dives in with a pitch fork and torch* DIEEEEEEEEEEEE BILLY BOB!!!!! *and rolls a 1* DAMNIT! AAAAAAEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

SWALLOW! SWALLOW! SWALLOW! SWALLOW! SWALLOW! SWALLOW! SWALLOW! (w00t)

Nintendogs? I rather have a real dog.

That is one thing I will not do. REALLY!

Its been years since I have played Star Ocean. In the myriad of JRPGs there have only been one series I liked and that was Lunar. 2 PS1 games is not enough warrant to buy a PS3 console when I can play them on my old PS1.

Bottomline, the Star Ocean's item creation was not very intuitive and overly convoluted. Anyway, like I siad if PS3 gets games that I will like I'll buy one. No doubt about it, I most certainly will., but if it doesn't then it would be silly of me to have a console that I will not play.

There were many aspects I didn't like about Star Ocean. Some of them is prevalent in nearly all JRPGs. I couldn't make my character. If I can't make my own character that is the first strike against the game. Not a fatal strike, for games that have that little feature can still end of being one of my favorites if they have other features I like. Planescape Torment being one of them. Also Star Ocean story was boring me to tears. I was almost yelling at it to get to the point already in nearly every single conversation I got myself into. Lastly the whole recipe system was completely whacked. I don't want to speed hours on end added things to other things then add more things and hope to get something decent. Also there was absolutely no instructions how to make things. If I have the components and the skill to make things just tell me how to do it so I can get back to the game. KotOR and KotOR 2's item creation system was very straight forward, easy to use, and effective during gameplay. Far far far far far better than Star Ocean's.

Slither, Velvet Revolver.

Hey, I love the Luanr series but time to move on. JE beats the game in terms of graphics, gameplay, and funky kung fu action. Hell, the peole in JE actually look like people. Story wise I got the same level of enjoyment out of both but JE beats tLunar in sheer presentation and visual impact.

I liked Jade Empire more than any Final Fantasy game I played, Better than Wild Arms, better than the Lunar series, better than the Star Ocean games (boy did they suck), and from what I have seen of Kingdom Hearts (I hate Disney) it looks better than that game to boot.

For the most part, they are.

I don't play handhelds so that doesn't matter much to me. Their worse work was NWN and we are never going to get the quality we got from BG2 in any future game from them so I pretty much stop using that as a gauge. However KotOR and Jade Empire were light years better than any JRPG for the PS2.

Yep, that is true. Like I said before all this technology is nice and good but it is worthless if it just doesn't have the games to play on it. YAY! I GOT THE UBER TOY BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT! Pretty lame, eh? There will always be technological advance. There will always be a shinier new widget that everyone on gets excited about. That is nice, but if it has no substance or practical use for me then it is worthless. PS3 is probably the most advance console to be released but it is meaningless to me if it doesn't have the games I want to play.

So what games will PS3 have anyway? The usual fanfare or will they have games from publishers like Obsidian, Bioware, or Bethesda? You know, game developers that I like. All I see from doing a games search for PS2 is a bunch of japanesse RPGs *yuck* with lamers US RPGs like Bard's Tale remake and BGDA.

Only if they make games I want to play. So far they haven't.

Well, you know... You get home from the grocer and you put dinner in the oven and then start playing a game and you forget aboiut the oven...

I am not afraid of rewriting. I have no problems in rewriting a scene or a character that seems not to be working. But it is my work. My world. My characters. No one else knows them better than me.

He also sparked the greatest genocide in history. Yeah, lets celebrate a bastard like that. It would be like celebrating Hitler.

I hated the Final Fantasy games. They are one of the reasons why I have no real interest in the Playstation. I like a balance between story and exporation however, and Baldur's Gate has that balance. Morrowind, Jade Empire, and KotOR does not.

I force drained all the captured jedi and then ran away from Malak and just flung grenades.

Sure but I still like it more.

I liked Ondaron better than Taris.
