What Are You Playing? (Winter 2010-2011)

How is Tales of Vesperia? My friend really liked it.

I haven't played it yet, hopefully some other TNLers will chime in to tell you.

IU is the first 360 RPG I've played.

The story to Eternal Sonata isn't unintentionally funny, it's embarrassing to watch. It's not even an average jrpg, it's painfully boring, just a horrible waste of time and material. There's no reason you should ever want to play Eternal Sonata. Ever.

I read that the ending was unbelievably retarded. I have not played it.

I tried to get my wife to play that game. She hated it and calls it the Little Bo Peep game.

I don't think Infinite Undiscovery is great, but I am enjoying playing it at the moment and look forward to continuing it. However I won't be playing it again on Hard mode or trying to get all the achievements, no thanks.

That's best as I can explain it, I suppose.

And your description of Eternal Sonata is exactly why I want to immediately play it through once and move on. I'm absolutely not putting 60-100 hours into it, I'm around 26 hours into Infinite Undiscovery and it won't be long now before it ends.

Eternal Sonata is great. Short, too. Like 25 hours I think. You should play it. It has a ridiculous story, boo hoo. Welcome to JRPGs.

I thought Infinite Undiscovery was an absolute trainwreck from stern to bow. I couldn't make it through more than an hour or so. I tip my hat to your perseverance.

Eternal Sonata wasn't perfect, but it was quite a memorable game. Second only to Lost Odyssey when it comes to JRPGs this gen. I know the past few years haven't been kind to the genre, but it still counts for something.

If nothing else, it will help you appreciate Chopin's work. If you have a soul, that alone will make the Japanese silliness worth it.

Thanks to Korly I'm playing through KOTOR again. I think this is, maybe, my favourite game of that generation? I never played the sequel, but that's next.

Don't do it man.
Let the first one live on as a crowning achievement in gaming.
The general mediocrity of the sequel will sully the greatness of the original.

This the way of Star Wars shit in general, it seems.
