As much as I like MGR I haven't gotten the DLCs because of the pricing.  Maybe I'll get them eventually if there's a price drop

I can't remember 3 being any harder than 1 or 2, though honestly I can't remember much about it period since it is fantastically forgettable.

A good story and likable characters.  3 certainly failed there

So I beat the game and also just did the alternate ending.  I gotta say I really like the way they handled the extra content.  They only make you do the missions that are different because of the alternate ending rather than making you do a newgame+ and go through the whole game again.  The mission structure allows for this and I really like that.  I just beat the motorcycle extra mission to get it to 360km that took me quite a few tries.  Haven't done any of the no damage ones but I'm sure I can at least get the first one.  

The story works well and it kinda has an "action movie" feel to it I think.  It's not overly complicated but other than making fun of certain things it's pretty decent.  I have to say though I wasn't really surprised that
oh also the story gets merit points for avoiding "the evil demon king/whateaver is going to be revived oh noes" and you don't kill god and hear some bullshit about making your own destiny.  points for that :)

I haven't beaten it yet (in stage 5) but I mostly agree with the review.  It's rare I play something so easy to make fun of.  How do these humans know they are the last people alive?  Don't they realize humanity is basically over already since they are all men?  Why do they seem so enthusiastic and upbeat when they are so screwed?  Why couldn't imageepoc just make a real action game?  Why are the enemy designs so terrible? Where's my sexy pose button? Etc etc

Despite my gripes I still like the game well enough I don't feel robbed for spending $20 on it.  It seems I estimated how much I'd like it pretty accurately.  I do think the music should have a higher score, some of the tracks are pretty badass.  The overall game is  hovering around 7/10 for me

amazing

Schreier is an idiot. 

Avast is great, I've been using it for years

Isn't that an action game? 

Also you had to return 2 games for financial reason yet you are going to the store thinking about getting darksiders?  Wat

will do

wonder who will pick up Attack on Titan

That's what I'm worried about


However, I am still interested and may get it.  The only SMT series I've played at all are persona and devil survivor though.  Do you guys think it would be better to get Soul Hackers or SMT4 first?  I know soul hackers is almost out but I still haven't even bought a 3DS yet and I've got other stuff to finish first.  If I like one I'll probably pick up the other later.  So which would you recommend more?

That sounds awful.


As for the main topic, PS4 is very good as others have said.  The only other one I've played is PS2 but it feels way too old and I wouldn't recommend it.  Shining Force 1 is a good SRPG with moderate difficulty.  You can grind and there's no permadeath so you shouldn't have to worry about getting stuck or frustrated.

Shining force 2 had random encounters?  And the escape spell didn't work?

I never played SF2 but I'm asking because there weren't any random encounters in SF1 or SF3. 

such lofty praise!!!  all that amazing competition on the ps3 :P

still no review for this but we get an editorial from someone who thought it was boring because he doesn't like traditional jrpgs :P
