Following on from Akito's RPG Backlog thread

[Zool]

Following on from Akito's RPG Backlog thread;  I don't have more than one game waiting to be played. My problem is trying to finish a game.

I have played about five ds RPG's this year, plus other ds games but none are finished. I started Zelda.... Phantom Hourglass about three weeks ago and I am over half way through, but I've lost interest in it. This keeps happening; I think it's when I start running around a game wondering where to go or what to do next that my interest is lost. I not sure if games are to long, to hard or to repetitive or is it just me.

What is the best ds game that you have completed?

[Ryos]

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow despite the BS stylus crap.

[Akito]

It's tough Zool, I feel ya!

The most recent RPG I finished was the Legacy of YS bundle...not he best RPG, but I loved it for the nostalgia factor. I also beat Front Mission DS as well too, which I enjoyed as well. Since that last post and seeing how many of us are like this, I've stopped purchasing games....at least until Atlus comes out with more stuff..

[Jet16]

Devil Survivor. So far the only DS game that actually made me sit down for a good part of the day and play it straight.

Single best DS game that I've completed?  Impossible.  I might be able to narrow it down by genre.

RPG: Devil Survivor, although Suikoden is damn close.

Puzzle: Exit DS

Music: Elite Beat Agents

Action: Trauma Center: Under the Knife

Adventure: Theresia, although all of the Phoenix Wright games are right there.

[Lard]

I'd have to say Hotel Dusk or Phoenix Wright (series).

I'm not finished Devil Survivor or Professor Layton yet.

[Wild Armor]

Aterlier Iris 2 and Ar Tonelico 1. Started, half way, stopped. Worthy of finishing it?

That and Metal Gear Solid III. Almost...to...the...end.

[Draak]

The World Ends With You and Devil Survivor. Beat both in like two weeks or less.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow despite the BS stylus crap.

Oh God, someone that agrees with me. I've got so many game overs during the last boss battle because I couldn't draw a pentagram (or whatever it was) right. >_>

[kyuusei]

Chrono Trigger.

....It's the only DS game I've actually, er, beaten :P

Although if I ever do finish it, Devil Survivor might be even better.

Puzzle: Exit DS

Interesting Gen Eric Gui, I picked Exit up for £2 ($3) in my local game store, I wasn't sure what type of game it was but for the price I thought I'd give it a go. I'm not level 3 and no matter how hard I try i can't do the stylus move that lets the hero hang on to a ledge........... he keeps falling to his death.

[Gen Eric Gui]

That's because the stylus controls suck ass.  Use the buttons.

This summer I beat the following DS games:

Fire Emblem
Drone Tactics
Luminous Arc 2

And I'm about half way through:

Rondo of Swords

Among these, Luminous Arc 2 has the best story and art, Rondo of Swords has the most interesting gameplay, followed by Drone Tactics, and Fire Emblem is just classic.

[Aeolus]

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow despite the BS stylus crap.

I finished this too during my trip to SF.

Though I'm still chugging away at FFTA2 and FE:DS, I've still have four DS games left to beat (the afore mentioned ones plus Heroes of Mana and Knights in the Nightmare).

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow despite the BS stylus crap.

I love Castlevania and I just couldn't be bothered with this one. Too similar to Aria of Sorrow. Boring castle areas and rehashed monsters. I thought Portrait of Ruin was much fresher. Finally, some areas outside of the castle!

I thought Orcs & Elves was really great, and easy to beat since it is so concise.

[daschrier]

There are many games I get 90% through then quit.

I've never finished a PSP game, and there are many DS games I've put many hours into then stopped playing.

I have maybe 10 PS2 RPGs I've opened just to read the manual but haven't actually played.

There's just too many games out there, and after a while, most RPGs grow stale and boring.
