Which console are you signing up for?

"My current xbox serves as my DnD player right now."

 

So, this is what you meant when you said you "have built networks of friends where they did not exist", Eldar?

[Cantousent]

Yes, and you'd be surprised at how little we argue in my DnD sessions.

 

Actually, you can't build a network with one other person, even the xbox. ...But he's the one really in control of the network. I'm just another grunt.

I believe my fingers will be making sweet console love to the x-box 360 seeing as I prefer the playage of PC games, yet am without the clams to beef/soup up my PC.

 

Also, we can look forward to a JRPG or two such as Lost Odyssey, the Japanese answer to PS:T.

[Kasoroth]

Most likely none of them. I got a PS2 about 6 to 12 months after it was released because I hadn't really had any consoles since the original Gameboy, and figured I'd at least give the newer consoles a try. Right now, I own 2 games for it (one of which was a gift), I have rented one game once, and have played a few games that friends brought over to my house. I have never finished any games on it. Other than that, the PS2 has served as merely an over-priced DVD player.

 

The first (and only) game that I bought for the PS2 was Final Fantasy X, because I had enjoyed the Final Fantasy Legend games on Gameboy back when they were first released in the U.S. I was quite disappointed that despite graphical and cinematic advances, the gameplay hadn't really gotten better since the 8-bit days. While PC RPGs had advanced from the limited character interaction of the original Bard's Tale and SSI Gold box games to the Fallout series, PS:T, and the BG Series, it seemed like the "flagship" of console RPGs had remained stagnant.

 

Since then, I've tried a few other console RPGs that I liked better, and would even consider buying if I was at the store and knew that I'd have a bunch of free time in the near future (both of these conditions are pretty rare, and they come into alignment once, maybe twice a year), and there were no PC games out that I wanted, but none of them really got my interest in the way that my favorite PC games do. I've never visited the forums of their developers (if they even have any), or looked for news about upcoming releases from those developers. The last console game that I can remember actually waiting for and anticipating was Final Fantasy Legend II for Gameboy.

The FF Legends games on Gameboy were actually Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) games. So I can see why you were disappointed in the gameplay. And if you want a bit more interaction than the standard Console RPG fare, check out the Suikoden series. They actually ask for your input every now and then.

Hmmm... I have a PS1. I have a PS2. Then I have to get a PS3... Right?

Why? I like the design and the games.

I have a PS1. I have an Xbox. Does that mean I have to get the Revolution then?
