Ha, irony.

Skim reading helps, if that's what you mean.

Also, I frequently have to wait for my computer to finish some task which takes too little time to play the game meanwhile, too long to just wait, and just enough to read through a couple of threads.

Waiting for Suikoden Tactics to arrive in the post.

 

Koudelka's on hold because of disc damage (only cost

Quiet you.

I'm playing Black. First time in a long while since I've played such an enjoyable review copy. It will get high grades..

Which version would that be ?

The White Album?

Black for Playstation 2, but it seems I'm getting the Xbox version too for some reason (I don't own an Xbox).

eBay

Sounds like it could be worth a look.

 

I'm playing Suikoden Tactics, which I'd recomend to any PS2 owner who feels gyped at not being able to play Fire Emblem. But I'm not really in a strategy sort of mood at the moment.

One noteworthy thing about Black: I'm on level six and supposedly the game only contains eight levels all in all. It has taken me somewhere around six to seven hours to reach where I am now, so my estimate is that the game will be over within ten hours.

 

It's been one hell of a ride so far though. BOOM!!!

Sounds about typical for that sort of game.

Heavy on looks, lite on substance. How can they justify a 60$ price tag on a 6-8 hour game? T'was the same with King Kong.

 

What a rip-off. Thats why I play almost exclusively RPGs. I usually get my money's worth.

The Xbox has been busy lately: Jade Empire and LEGO STAR WARS!

I love Lego Star Wars, it's just so freaking cutesy that it's good.

 

Halo 2, Lego Star Wars run nightly in the Living Room.

 

In the Bedroom, my wife runs Dynasty Warriors 5 nightly.

 

Here in the office, I run both KOTOR II xbox, and KOTOR II PC.

 

 

 

 

Did I mention I have a lot of xboxes?

Ha, I'm playing through LEGO Star Wars too. Besides that I'm playing Shadow Hearts Covenant.

Can't remember if I mentiond this... I'm playing REmake

Dunno , thats why I mostly rent that kind of stuff.

 

RPGs are about the best value for money although strategy games are up there too.

You play Xbox at work?

 

Where do you work, a kindergarten?

They've had no problems doing it for the past 20 years. Though with inflation it's actually gone down in price.

Aren't you REplaying REmake? For the REumpteenth time?

5 years ago games were longer. Demos were 5-6 hours.

No they weren't.

Depends on the game really. Games seemed longer because they were less concerned about keeping the player happy.

 

The first Dark Forces game you could only save between levels. Not only did this make the game last longer , but it also made you better at the game since you couldnt just save and then luck your way through and then save again.

 

I dont think the games have become easier gameplay wise. But the save anywhere or even frequent savepoints makes them a start to finish thing with little need for time over to fail.
