It's nice to finally have some time off. I got the Witcher 3 like 2 months ago and I can't seem to get into it. I don't play a lot of games during the summer. I try to do other stuff like drink more !

I also think since Fallout 4 was announced I have lost interest in just about every game though.

Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Lakshmi.Rooks said: » Phantasy Star RPG-wise, it's better than anything else in the 8 bit era, no contest (and better than quite a few things in the 16 bit era). I love me some FFI but PS was just so much better, and really showcased what a superior piece of hardware the SMS was. Better graphics, deeper world, better UI, better everything.

I played FF III as a translated rom, that was cool. II was kinda, ugh.
Buy yeah 8bit was kinda lagging. Zelda I was good, but II was meh. Crystalis was good too, but that's not turn based either.

Retro to me now is Dragon Quest VIII quite possibly the best JRPG ever. Well traditional JRPG.

It came out in 2004 in Japan. 2005 in America I probably put 100 hours into that game. fonewear said: » Asura.Ackeronll said: » fonewear said: » Retro to me now is Dragon Quest VIII quite possibly the best JRPG ever.

I spent a ton of time just creating weapons. The crafting system was great.
I couldn't get into that game, slow combat and unvoiced protagonist didn't really get me interested
Might give it a go sometime though It definitely is slow at the start. It takes a good bit of time to get into it.
I absolutely hated the random encounters at first. But after a while it isn't so bad.

I love me some FFI but PS was just so much better, and really showcased what a superior piece of hardware the SMS was. Better graphics, deeper world, better UI, better everything. Unfortunately for SEGA, the use of memory mapper (memory management chips) capable of swapping graphics memory banks made the NES/Famicom so versatile it crushed the SMS and could even annoy the Mega Drive/Genesis on the animation department. That "feature" allowed the NES to swap large portions of graphics memory to achieve background animations without need to forward large chunks of data through the graphics chip registers interface. That alone made kids prefer the 16 colors NES instead of the 64 colors SMS which was stuck with simpler palette animations because it had a pretty fixed/limited video memory interface.

Quote: It is a world roughly three hundred years after the end of a great conflict known as the "Calamity War". The Earth Sphere lost its previous system of government and a new world was built with a new ruling system. While a transient peace had come, the embers of a new conflict was born on Mars, far removed from Earth. The main character, a young boy named Mikazuki Augus, belongs to the civilian security company Chryse Guard Security (CGS). He is tasked with guarding Cuderia Aina Bernstein, a young girl who is trying to make the Martian city of Chryse independent from the rule of one of Earth's powers. However, the CGS comes under attack from the armed organization Gjallarhorn trying to nip the bud of insurrection, so Mikazuki and the children start withdrawing as a decoy. The leader of the boys, Orga Itsuka, takes advantage of this occasion to rise in revolt against the adults who oppressed them and stages a coup d'etat. Mikazuki, who was entrusted to fend off the Gjallarhorn by Orga, takes up the fight by using the Gundam Barbatos, a mobile suit from the "Calamity War" that was utilized as a nuclear reactor by the CGS. Also translated names for characters.  >fat dude called Biscuit

Japan is apparently cheaper then Europe.
Interestingly enough both Europe and Japan launch their Amiibo lines 1-2 months ahead of the US. So it is possible to order them and get them before pre-orders are even up in the US, at a greater cost of course. How to tell your six year old is trolling you:
1.) Words he has difficulty with off his first grade sight-word list: them, give, before, have. 2.) Words he just read off the Wendy's bag: mega spaceship, astronaut, satellite. -_-
