Which game should I finish next?
« on: May 20, 2007, 09:57:57 PM »
I have Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation, which has two paths depending on which protagonist you play as.  I already finished it once with Ryusei, now I'm playing with Kyosuke, but once you reach the twentieth mission or so, the two paths join up and you're basically replaying the same game over again.  I still have about 12 missions left but don't really feel like replaying the same game over again over from that point...and I still haven't started OG2 which is supposed to be better than OG1.

I'm also about 1/3 of the way through Wild Arms: Alter Code F, but the horrid translation is preventing me from enjoying the game to its fullest.  I want to finish it before I start WA4, since it uses the save from ACF.

And I'm more than halfway through Tales of the Abyss, but the horrible loading and terrible frame rate in the world map is seriously diminishing my enjoyment of what would otherwise be a very good game (they should have just released it for Gamecube, it is SUCH a shoddy port).

I need to bite the bullet and finish one of these games before I can move on to something else - which shall it be?

Those all sound lame, start something new instead.

I can't start something new until I finish one of these games.  It's just the way I am.  :-\

Well youre not supposed to grind in the over-world, so while the TotA complaint is valid, its not game-breaking just kinda lame ;)

Im playing through .Hack\\Outbreak right now, be sure to check out my thread on this forum, the first post gets updated often.

ToTA is one of my favorite RPG's in the last few years.

Yeah, but at certain points in the game you lose your ship or mode of transportation and you're expected to walk across the terrain so it sorta becomes unavoidable.  That added to the constant backtracking and the lousy frame rate in the overworld (whether you're walking or on a ship) really hurts the game in my eyes.  What could have been the greatest Tales game is reduced to mediocre. :(

I've played through all the .Hack games so I'm not interested in replaying through them, though I am thinking of getting G.U. once all of them are released in English.

And G, sorry, not interested in Godhand.  I've got a number of games that are fulfilling my craving for action gaming at the moment.

Ichiro: Drinky says the GU games are really good, the second game being a huge leap in quality over the already decent first title. I really dont get how EGM got off calling it more of the same.

Drinky snuck some GU feedback in my .hack thread if you missed it, should be spoiler free.

Yeah, I read Drinky's comments, made me interested in GU, but I'm gonna wait until all three games are out...plus, I'm wondering if I should start with the GU anime show.

But first, I need to finish one of these games...I'll probably start with Original Generation since I'm like 75% done with Ryosuke's story already.

Im THINKING they may do some kinda super .hack pack when all of GU is out...thats what would be good for business anyway. The old .hack games are getting hard to track down.

Didn't they do some sort of re-release of the .hack games minus the animation DVDs?  ???

I'm glad I got it when it was first released.  I was into the whole .hack phenomenon there for a while.  I liked .hack//SIGN a lot (partly because of the beautiful soundtrack - I was so pissed off when I finally played the game and heard the music) and the games were a lot of fun.  Then they released the manga and the other TV show and I lost track.  It felt like they were just trying to rip me off at that point.  :-\

.hack//sign could have been 13 episodes, there was a lot of useless dialogue
