Mass effect is great but even 2 it was dumbed down from 1 in many ways. Free roaming type stuff, etc. Dragon Age let me down big. I have the diablo lootlust problem where you just want items. even if its crap, to sell em. to accumulate money that has no use or value. I love that. Dragon age makes you fail picking a chest, retry. lvl up picking, use enchants to boost skills. you pick it, $3.... REALLY paltry sums.

Yea megaman is hardkore. X1 is when it was just right I think.
and i started on all this when I was 6-7. I miss Old FF's...

Not to derail the thread, but that game is F*ING AMAZING. I haven't been able to stop playing it for about 2 weeks now. It's been quite a long time since a game has engrossed me like this. Funny thing is, it has a lot of elements from GTA, and I usually get bored with GTA (well, doing the missions) after a few hours of game play. But RDR has kept me going.

Not to mention, if you have even a casual interest in old westerns, the scenery, cinematography, themes and encounters are excellent.

I highly recommend it.

that pSX emu works really well... Good post.
