Probably should find one and play some of them.

Anyway, I wimped out. I was sitting there, playing GT3, and I finally snapped after realising how many times I'd have to do all those 10-race series to get them right, did some quick math and calculated that it would take me another 12-18 months to get throught the game at my current pace. Then I looked at VF4 on the "time out" shelf (thanks for the term, Lhadatt) and thought to myself, :why am I going to torture myself playing these games when I could just rade them in and get Metroid Prime?" So I did.
My list of games to beat is now:
1. Metroid Prime
2. Suikoden II
3. Silent Hill 2
4. Dragon Warrior VII
5. Dynasty Tactics
My goal is to get through all of them except Dynasty Tactics by christmas. That should be achievable; or at the very least, I'll be close.
Only two, actually. As I mentioned, the reason I got so much EXP is because my only character alive was my Fighter, and she was at level 48. At that point, levelling up requires about 130k of EXP. I am curious of what level a Lv 1 character would end up being if he/she somehow managed to destroy a party of 6 Metabbles. My guess is 30.Quote:

Better get started on DW7 right now if you ever hope to finish it by Xmas. Well, if you just want to see the ending, it won't take very long considering, but the main charm of this game are its class system, side quests, and mini-games, some of which are extremely time-consuming to undertake. Also, hopefully you haven't been spoiled by DQ6, since that game looks (and sounds) eons better than 7's grainy mess.
I ploughed my way through Prime and (especially) Fusion, working on HoD now, but neither Metroid was on my pile of shame, just games I really wanted to play :) I pulled DW7 out the other day and played a bit, it's still alright. Trying to decide if I want to tackle that, or something a bit lighter...
I've never played either of the SuFami DQs, so they couldn't really spoil anything for me. I'm at 55 hours in DW7, so I think it's certainly achievable to get it done in the next few weeks. I'm kind of cheating, though - I picked up the strategy guide, but it's increased my enjoyment of the game fivefold. I finally realized that what I hated about it (other than the endless sprite and music recycling) was the wandering around that massive world with no freakin' clue what to do.Quote:

For instance, *minor spoilers* when you're told that "when the stone meets the sky, the hero will return". I mean, you're just supposed to know that the stone is the one your uncle - a totally insignificant character in a location you have no real reason to return to - mentioned in passing at the very beginning of the game, 52 hours ago!? Come on, that's just brutal.
Or how you're supposed to figure out that to cross the Nila, you have to go into the future and get the dinosaur skull you saw 20 hours ago in an unrelated location, bring it back in time and throw it into the river, where it comes back to life? How the hell does that make sense? I think it's a bit much to expect you to go around and talk to every single character in the game until something happens every time you're stuck. But now that I have something to prod me along at those times, I can get into the flow of the thing and dig the 8-bit vibe they're going for. Heck, even the levelling up isn't so bad any more.
But I don't really feel compelled to master every class for every character or anything, just master the advanced classes. The monster classes don't look like anything too exciting either. I'll probably just max out one advanced class for each character, do the major subquests, finish the game and call it a day.
I beat RE0 yesterday, I'm pretty happy, now I can move onto Metroid Prime/Fusion! :)
Yeah yeah, these games aren't on my list...
Here's my list:
Kingdom Hearts
Ghost Recon
Mech Assault
Plus I just ordered FF9 from Square last night so when I get it, it will be thrown onto the pile until FFX is completely finished, and THEN I will start on Kingdom Hearts. Alot of gaming ahead for me, and a perfect time of the year for it.
I'd finish RE0, but I can't find a rental place that has it in :P I'm sure as hell not buying it...
Yay! I finally finished something! I just beat Mega Man 7. I'm still playing a few others. Details are at my gametracker page:

Just finished Castlevania HoD. It was ok I suppose, but I wasn't really blown away. I enjoyed SoTN more, so it didn't really trump that, and I enjoyed CoM more for its difficulty level - you actually had to use some skill to beat the enemies, here you just sort of ploughed your way through, particularly with the various item magic available (Wind/Cross was really abusive). I suppose there's Boss Rush and the other secret goodies though. Permit me to be grouchy for a moment that this game is bigger than Fusion by quite a large amount :P Then again, this has a lot of the SoTN rpg stuff, Fusion was much more straightforward.
Incidently, the Castlevania plotlines need a freaking kick in the ass. There's something to be said for saving the princess in the castle and so on, but come on, they need something new for Castlevania. Remember Bloodlines? How about a mix of Simon's Quest, SotN, and Bloodlines multiple castle/town/outdoor exploration? How cool would traveling the countryside in a SoTN alike Castlevania be?
I'm treading water with my pile of shame thanks to these games though. Prime/Fusion/HoD isn't getting me any closer to finishing off the old games on my list :/ Ah well, I'll get to em sooner or later I guess.
Taloony, did you want me to put you down at 30, or had you double checked that list yet?
