As the New Year Begins, What Are You Playing?
Now that New Year Eve is behind us, it is time to work on those promises we made ourselves at midnight, right? Lose weight? Help out at a charity? Apologize to that friend you haven't spoke to in six months?
Nah. It is time to pick back up that controller and yell through the door that, if the postman is only going to deliver bills, he shouldn't bother stopping by at all. That said, what games are everyone playing this month? I haven't had much time, and I have officially lost interest in ever completing Xenosaga. I plan to start a memory card slot for Grandia II. From what I understand, the game was considered the best RPG game that the ill-fated Dreamcast system had to offer, and it made for a cheap and used ported game for the playstation 2 system. Feel free to share some information on the games you are sharing with the rest of us. You might as well brag when you get the chance.

Re: As the New Year Begins, What Are You Playing?
I just started Star Ocean, but I'm hoping to get started on Magna Carta soon. I don't know if I have the time between those, FFXI, WoW, writing and working though. I guess we'll see which game I will have to drop :P
Which Xenosaga were you working on? I found Xenosaga Episode 1 interesting, but Xenosaga Episode 2 made too many changes as far as voices and appearances for me to attach to that one like I did to Episode 1. |

Re: As the New Year Begins, What Are You Playing?
I was referring to the first playstation 2 game. I really tried to give it a chance because it had some noteworthy elements to the gameplay that seperated it from other traditional RPG games.
'Saga attempted a more highbrow approach to the subject matter of war and the man-made divisions between what we consider constitutes as valued life and statisical fodder. I also had to give a nod to the game's empty and emotionally cold tone that evoked Kubrick's film work. The German themes were interesting. But. The said characteristics of the game didn't mesh well. It is hard to have a player' feel inspired to research whole areas when the scenery never really changes, and the designers really seemed to think that it would be fun to play "go back and open previously locked doors." The supporting characters in the party were lackluster, in my opinion, with the exception of KOS-MOS, who personified the cold and ruthless feel of the game. I haven't had the heart to erase it from the memory card, so there may be a day that return to the game; although, I said the same thing about Final Fantasy VIII. And that was over six months ago.

Re: As the New Year Begins, What Are You Playing?
Been playing "The Movies" on the PC
Quite enjoyable, although I was less impressed with the "Make your own movies" section as this seemed very slapdash and didn't make a jot of difference for the effort put in.

Re: As the New Year Begins, What Are You Playing?
Just completed Manhunt at Christmas time (completed The Warriors too), and so picked up Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 instead, and have been playing Rivals Mode gaining experience for my golfer, with a current max drive of 351 Yards! Go on!
Oh and a 99 foot Putt too.  |
