Those words I was unable to convey... That day... That time... Those
thoughts I was unable to carry out... Words and thoughts... The connection
between the two... Without words, thoughts cannot be conveyed... Without
thoughts, there are no words... They are both as vital as each other...
They can never be divided... Like the wings of angels...

and sitting through 30 minutes of text at the end of disc 1 wasn't fun at all!
plus another 30 minutes when you start disc 2!

Since that time, I have stopped being human. I have commited so many sins that any attempt at living as a human is impossible. The only one who could have forgiven me is god.

Xenogears is amazing.

Ok, I'll be the first to get flamed. I never like Xenogears. Convoluted story, uninspired characters, horrible battle system. Ridiculously long and inattentive. =/ Sorry, just wasn't that great of a game in my opinion.

congrats, you just defined "rpg"
I'm not much of a fan of RPGs personally, there have been some I liked a great deal, like Final Fantasty X, and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, but for the most part, it's just very difficult for me to sit down and devote that much time into a video game and a story line. Honestly, I can't even think of the last RPG I really sat down with and played through.
inb4 KINGDOM HEARTS IS SO GOOD.

OMG SORA IS SO KAWAII DESU NE! ^_^
on a side note, I somehow managed to play through Ogre Battle 64. It took 3 years because it was in japanese and I would randomly stop playing for months at a time. something is seriously wrong with me

So they can kick children.

Then why are their shoes just as big in The World Ends With You?
I don't think that's Disney.
I just want to know why the big clown shoes.

Because it creates a look that's appealing in a childlike way?

RPGs (and all single-player games actually) became boring to me when I discovered this far off concept known only as "multiplayer."
That's all I have to say to THAT!Yeah, it's kind of hard to sit through a 1 player RPG when I could be having sick-*** games of Mario Party DS with people!
However, apparently Dock and Matt have been having an amazing time playing Xenogears together, so I guess in a sense, they've combined the RPG with the good aspects of multiplayer.

then it's cuz of Tetsuya Nomura.

needs more secret of mana in this thread. Simply the greatest game ever. Afro and Tommy G will agree

Haha, I meant it appeals to children. Sorry, tired johns

Wouldn't that be "synchronized single player"?
What ever happened to Secret of Mana nights at Nexus, anyways?

You Have To Burn The Rope is the greatest game ever.

I like RPGs, but I have always been more of an action-oriented person (in general, it could mean anything from platformers to FPSes to actual action games and etc.)
Mega Man (anything outside the AU ones like Battle Network/Star Force), Devil May Cry, System Shock 2, Half-Life, Castlevania, Mario (the PLATFORMERS! Although Mario Kart and Tennis are always good fun), anything that's done in real time really, that stuff gets more of my attention.
... You FPS fans really need to play System Shock 2 ASAP if you haven't already. It's easily my favorite FPS and top 3 on my list of favorite games.

HL2DM used to be my competitive game until I lost my Steam account. DMC and Castlevania are pretty good too.

Pooky doesnt come by on Fridays anymore because we arent open 24 hours. Maybe if me and cary can find a third person we can do it again. But for now we got warhammer to keep us busy, we all need to hit 40.What ever happened to Secret of Mana nights at Nexus, anyways?
Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong yall. Xenogears is only amazing in the retrospect of its storyline, it's unique in a lot of ways, and I actually didn't mind disc 2, they wrapped it up pretty well. Its plot is way better than Evangelion IMO, or any anime equivalent that people compare it to. I dunno, it's tough to find a storyline with that much complexity nowadays.
But it will always be my favorite game of all time. =) I must be the biggest Xenogears fanboy there is. **** Xenosaga!
Citan is the man (and wicked intelligent)
Id is just... freaky
Ramsus was the cliche typical villain to start off but became amazing
Miang (Wow, just wow.)
Krelian (Meh, didn't care for him)
Grahf
Not to mention Big Joe randomly showing up places!
If they had devoted more time to making disc 2 more play oriented, the game would have been near perfect. That's the only thing I disliked about it, disc 1 is all mystery and making you wonder all of these different complex ideas and then disc 2 they unveil everything at once like it's Christmas.

far cry 2 is soooo good, if you liked the first one you'll love this one, if you didn't play the first one don't bother this one is so much better!!

I actually find myself enjoying a lot of mech anime.
Big O is another mech anime I absolutely love (3rd favorite after Eva and FLCL). Big Duo is one of, if not my favorite mech.
