What should I do? - May 14, 2004 16:27
I' m going shopping tomorrow and plan on picking up a couple games (if I have the money)

I plan on getting SSX 3 (greatest hit price from Walmart)
I am also looking to buy:

Xenosaga (greatest hit price)
Arc the Lad: Twilight....
I was also thinking about VF4: Evolution but I don' t know if it is my kind of game

What do you guys think?
Any suggestions?

It depends on what you' re looking for. VF 4: Evo is probably the best fighting game of this generation so far (along with SC II and GG X2), but you really need to be a big fighting fan to get into it. If you' re into RPGs, then XenoSaga all the way. Sometimes I can' t decide what' s better; Suikoden III or XenoSaga. Either way, it' s definitely one of the best...and Episode II should be out this year!

P.S. KOS-MOS is a BAD-ASS character. One of my all-time favorites.

VF 4 requires that you dedicate some serious time into learning the game. It' s not exactly a " pick up and play" fighter. If that' s your bag, then get it; it' s the best fighter around.

If not, get Xenosaga. However, seeing as how you' re ALREADY three RPGs behind, I don' t think you should be doing any such thing.......

Yes I know I know but I want it just to have it
I' m somewhat of a collector
I like to have things as a collection and to have them look nice haha

I' d suggest Winning Eleven 7, but if you/your friends don' t like football (soccer) it' s probably not a great idea to get it.

The WWE Smackdown games are a good laugh in multiplayer, even if you don' t like wrestling.

I' ve heard the Arc the Lad isn' t nearly as bad as some reviewers claim, and I even know a few people who say that it' s really great.

HOWEVER, I know you have yet to play both FF X and FF X-2, and you' re still working on Suikoden III. And now you have Xenosaga...so congrats, you now have the best RPG' s of this generation (with the exception of SW: KotoR on Xbox). You just need to find the time to PLAY them all.

Well, there ya go; you' re all set.

You' ve got the best, now you just gotta PLAY THEM. Let' s see...FF X will take at LEAST 40 hours (personally, I' ve put in 120), FF X-2, depending on how many times you want to go through it, 30-60 hours, Suikoden III is at least a 50-hour game, and Xenosaga is about 35-50. I never finished KotoR, so I don' t know how long that one is, but I think it' s on the short end in comparison to these other ones.

Now you just need to do all the math, and set aside a few months to do nothing but play.

Btw, I assume you have a good many of the classic PSOne RPGs in your collection...? After all, it IS the single best system for RPGs in history...

For PSone I actually didn' t have many of them
Wanted but never got them
All I have is FF8, Star Ocean: 2nd Story, and Xenogears
And I only beat FF8 out of them
Oh and I had Breath of fire 3 and 4 and beat them
I played a lot of PSOne games but never owned them
I know I missed out on a bunch of good ones

Star Ocean 2 is one of the best RPGs ever, and so is FF VIII and Xenogears. But are you trying to tell me that you don' t have the best RPG EVER? FF VII?

Furthermore, you need to pick up Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy Tactics as soon as humanly possible. They are two of the best games every created, and rank in my top 5 of all time. FFT tops the list.

I don' t own FF7 but I have beaten it (Death of Aeris was the saddest video game scene ever)
Also, I don' t own Castlevania or FF Tactics but I have played and beaten both (Tactics twice)

Ah, very good. I' ll cancel the bounty on your head now.

CV: SotN, FF VII, and FFT are absolute must-haves for a collection, though. All three can easily be picked up BRAND NEW as Greatest Hits for around $60, and much less if you get them used.

If I get money I might buy them just to have in the collection but right now I' m working on PS2 games
I' ve already beat them so I don' t NEED them but maybe one day I will pick them up
