Whoa dude, tone it down, you're making me look bad!

Good review, Ive never played Crystalis but i do know of it. I didn't know the game called you a moron though, that's pretty funny. I find that going back to some old rpg isn't much fun unless the game has a special something that sets it apart from the rest. Story wise old rpgs are very traditional and linear, you can't really go off script and character decisions are practically non existent that's why i don't enjoy playing them that much anymore.

Keep the reviews coming Aux-in.

You should give Wild ARMs a shot, if you haven't already. You might like it. It's a Playstation game, and it's somewhat by-the-numbers, but it's got a lot of charm and personality. One character cuts his own arm off just to beat one of the bosses, another is haunted because he believes that he ran away and left his girlfriend to die, and another accidentally foils an enemy trap because she couldn't resist shooting all of the shiny glowing things on the walls. Later on, after the ship she's on gets attacked and starts to sink, she yells at the crew for traveling around in a video game without having a powerful weapon.

Hah. Yeah man, that's why I asked you earlier in the thread if you were wanting others to contribute content or simply make suggestions for you to check out. Didn't want to take away from what you wanted your journal to be.

That's just a screenshot from the Internet. I wanted that specific scene, but that's the only one I could find. It was some wise guy who named his character Moron.

I agree. I don't think any of the storylines on those old games are going to be all that compelling to an adult mind. I find that if I'm going to play old games, I like them to be less involved than RPGs, such as action, puzzle, racing or sports games.

I played the 1st Wild arms and it was pretty good. Wild arms is a PS1 rpg though and by that time the rpgs had better story telling and a different landscape. If you look at the ground breaking rpgs from the Snes like, FF6, Earthbound, Chrono trigger, all those games are not set in a medieval era like tradional rpgs, they still had alot of tradional elements but they were expanding the rpg formula to different eras and by the time the Ps1 came out rpgs got really creative and really started breaking the mold.

Don't worry about it, i want it this way cause there are alot of games im not gonna cover and that's why i want ppl to cover them themselves. There's too many retro games for me to cover them all by myself, ya know?
