What did you play today?

[Boo Man]

Shadow Hearts is my favorite game from Japan, and I have no idea what you're talking about with the FF10 comparison. Please explain.

well its also a turn based JRPG on the PS2 with a similar structure as games like FFX which was released less than a month later and clearly overshadowed Shadow Hearts so thats why i used it as a comparison but i see your point, it has a completely different atmosphere, a better story, better characters and it expands on the boring old turn based combat by adding timing/reflex mechanics to every command
kinda like Tidus's overdrive mechanic on FFX

Slowly chewing my way through Digimon World 1. I always played it as a kid but was never able to finish it. I just liked looking at Agumon, I guess. But now with the power of The Internet I'm making incredible progress. I really love how this is probably the most unique game I've ever played, but I do wish it wasn't so unforgiving while also being so cryptic. I'm really excited to play World 2 after this.

That's basically what Legend of Dragoon did it before.
Btw the "old turn based combat boring" part is very subjective. Glad stuff like Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy from I to IX, Xenogears, Earthbound/Mother etc. are and will always be cherished.

I was going to play Mario Galaxy (on Wii) but the disc craps out during the first cutscene. Incredibly cruel of Nintendo to break into my house and sabotage my Wii games.

Now I'm playing Pokemon Emerald Legacy Edition

dont get me wrong i have nothing against classic turn based combat i actually really like it once things get harder in late game and move choices really matter, i would much prefer turn based combat to the combat systems they use now in FF games which is basically mindless hack n slash

I wanted to continue my Fallout 4 playthrough, but since they recently announced the Anniversary Edition and I wanna know if that adds something cool I'm pausing it. So Today it will be Fallout 1 with the Fixt patch

On a positive note, the unpublished Dreamcast build of Tetris Kiwamemichi is real.

Except it gets brutally fast... wowsers.

Not today, but forgot to mention I returned playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for PS2 yesterday. Crazy thing is how the game feels overwhelming at the beginning ("wow, a 3D SOTN?") but then kept playing and realized that with bigger budget and more development this could have been better. It's still a good game (imo still better than Lords of Shadow).
