Only those interested in a TRUE GAMER CHALLENGE should apply.

I propose that we get willing participants to each play a shitty JRPG, racing each other to completion. The winner gets to be the homojapual queen of Evilbore. Since some of us have jobs, I propose that a key rule be that participants are not allowed to play more than 5 hours a day.

Another rule: participants need to be able to offer photographic evidence of their completion of the game and how long it took.

Also, once participants are selected, a game should be picked that none of them have yet played. And it must be bad.

Anyone interested? Any suggestions for further rules?

I would but money is rather tight at the moment.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2007, 05:08:14 PM »

So I went to gamerankings looking for the shittiest console RPG I could find. Thanks to shitty console game reviewers and their affect on aggregation, I couldn't find anything.

I do have a copy of Ephemeral Fantasia I never played. Low-res PS2 graphics and big ol animu tatas-will that work?

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #10 on:** June 09, 2007, 05:09:39 PM »

I have a free rental for whatever at blockbuster. Make me a suggestion!

demi · « **Reply #11 on:** June 09, 2007, 05:13:24 PM »

Tales of Legendia, Frag

Himu · « **Reply #12 on:** June 09, 2007, 05:13:25 PM »

Actually, the best console rpgs are some of the ones with the more low scores, funnilly enough.

Tales of Legendia, Frag

I hate even the GOOD tales games (I have ToD1/ToD2 in mint condition somewhere in a box for the PSOne, hated them). That doesn't sound like a bad choice, it definitely fits a key feature of the contest, IMO-you should go into the contest hating or being biased against the game beforehand.

FFXII?

BlackMage · « **Reply #15 on:** June 09, 2007, 05:40:37 PM »

grandia II, tales of legendia? these are the only 2 i haven't finished yet from my library. both ps2

Himu · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2007, 05:46:18 PM »

Please do not lump Grandia in with this. That is insulting.

It should be a tales game.

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2007, 06:09:51 PM »

So can we get a list of shitty JRPGs? You can't pick something like FFXII because that at least has some quality going for it. We need genuine shit JRPGs.

Himu · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2007, 06:11:58 PM »

Magna Carta.

Oh, that's Korean, but does it really matter.

demi · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2007, 06:12:15 PM »

I'm willing to play a Suikoden game.

Does Contact count?

TVC15 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2007, 06:48:21 PM »

Magna Carta may actually be a good choice. The combat is really tedious and needlessly difficult, so it's not the sort of game where you can easily power level and cool young dude yourself out. Demi plays a lot of shit games, so he's probably good at minmaxing. This would throw him for a loop.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #24 on:** June 09, 2007, 07:10:34 PM »

tales of legendia is good, too. and the three xenosaga games.

Xenosaga is too punishing due to the cutscenes.

but it has loli rape

Ichirou · « **Reply #27 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:36:03 AM »

I want to do this. Can we choose a relatively recent game, though? That way it will be easier for me to get. And please, not Magna Carta, I played it at a friend's house and it was shit.

I think we should stick to PS2 games since that's the console most folks have...also, I don't have a 360. :'(

I've got an unopened copy of Enchanted Arms, this'd give me an excuse to attempt to play it. How about Wild Arms 3, would that be a good option?

I've got a bunch of JRPGs I've yet to start, I'm game.

PS2

Shadow Hearts: To the New World
Suikoden V
SMT: Devil Summoner

PS3
Enchanted Arms

None of those games seem nearly japalicious enough for this thread, distantmantra.

Shadow Hearts is amazing, that is exempt

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #44 on:** June 10, 2007, 02:45:00 AM »

What about Code Age Commanders? It's a shitty third-tier Square Enix title!

And, since it's Japanese, we can make up a plot for it!!

Ichirou · « **Reply #45 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:05:48 AM »

Do you honestly think anybody here is going to bother importing a third-tier Square Enix Japan-only title? I mean, besides you and me? (I loved the Code Age Commanders trailers, btw, dunno why the game turned out to be so bad)

I personally think Ar tonelico is like, perfect for this...it's covers all the basis for a japafag game extravaganza. And I think they had the limited edition at Messe Sanoh (import game store) when I was there last. They also had Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, and Disgaea 2, so I would be up for either of those as well, though they sound to be a bit too high quality to qualify.

Himu · « **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:07:53 AM »

Valkyrie Profile STAYS THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

demi · « **Reply #47 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:08:41 AM »

No, the first one would be an excellent choice

It's my personal worst RPG I've ever played

You're probably right, but it was only $10 at Yes-Asia when I bought it in January. Yodobashi Akiba had it for 500 yen this past July, but for some reason I didn't buy it.

Ichirou · « **Reply #49 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:12:31 AM »

What about the first Atelier Iris? I've never played that one, and it's available.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #50 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:19:01 AM »

I have the first Atelier Iris game, but I've never played it. I refuse to buy the next two unless I beat this one and actually enjoy it.

Ichirou · « **Reply #51 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:20:09 AM »

I can get my hands on Atelier Iris for cheap, too...

How about it, Evilboreans? Why don't we play Atelier Iris in the RACE TO HOMOJAPUALITY?

tiesto · « **Reply #52 on:** June 10, 2007, 10:35:39 AM »

Actually Ar Tonelico sounds like a perfect game for this... If we're voting on which game to play, put me down for that one. I haven't bought the game yet tho.

BlackMage · « **Reply #53 on:** June 10, 2007, 11:53:41 AM »

we should poll this sucker with like 3 different games and see which one has the most votes.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #54 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:10:46 PM »

dm, 2 and 3 really aren't like 1. 2 and 3 are much more typical RPGs.

Ichirou · « **Reply #55 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:30:13 PM »

So the nominees so far are Ar tonelico, Atelier Iris, anything else?

FINAL FANTASY DIRGE OF CEREBRUS

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #57 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:45:20 PM »

i nominate tales of legendia and star ocean 3

Ichirou · « **Reply #58 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:47:28 PM »

I was about to say FF games shouldn't qualify but then I remembered that it features Okinawan rock singer and pretend vampire Gackt in an important role. So, yeah...

1. Atelier Iris
2. Ar tonelico
3. Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus
4. Tales of Legendia (I actually already own this game, lolz, but I haven't started playing it)
5. Star Ocean 3

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:52:25 PM »

ephemeral fantasia is also a good choice (although i liked that game), and the godawful suikoden 4
