rtcvb32: Ditto. Although honestly it has quite the time investment in it, but thankfully a built in NG+ where you can just resume playing the adventures from the start again while keeping all the equipment, although i'm not sure if the tutorials are as useful...

The only problem i recall in the game, was the slowdown when either there was a lot on the screen in general (usually you got 40+ fragments floating around) or you were in the underworld with all the murkey fog that slowed the game to a crawl...

mrcrispy83: Odin sphere was terrible.

The new version has a shot at being not terrible, though.

l0rdtr3k: Eternal Punishment.

l0rdtr3k: If there's one company that I will give all of my money it's Atlus.
I freaking love Atlus,they make and publish such great games that became classics of mine. From the Shin Megami Tensei series to Persona to Etrian Odyssey. I just love their games,they introduced me to Tactics Ogre and Super Robot Taisen(both series that I became quite the fan boy) and they first published Demon's Souls and showed the world that difficult games can sell.
I think that their games are great and I just love how difficult they are. Nocturne fans will remember Matador and showed how the game doesn't fuck around and how many hours and playthroughs I made of Persona 3 and 4.
Persona 2 is a RPG that should belong on "Top RPGS of the PSX" lists because how great it is. Sure,sometimes their games can get rather cheap with the bosses,Matador;Hollow Queen;most summoner fights on Soul Hackers;Satan and YHVH;Lucifer;Shadow selves and most Etrian bosses but when you manage to beat them,you feel so relieved and satisfied that you finally to overcome these challenges and even random encounters require a good amount of strategy instead of just mashing the attack button.
ANyway,I feel that Atlus and their series should become more recognized here in the West and more people should play their games.
TL;DR:Atlus is love,Atlus is life.

l0rdtr3k: Do you play Etrian? If you don't and like oldschool dungeon crawlers,give it a go.

omega64: I thought you were a BioShock thread.

rtcvb32: Etrian.. not ringing a bell... I'll have to do a search for it later, but i got work to do once i finish waking up...

omega64: Etrian Odyssey. It's a series of amazing dungeon crawlers for DS and 3DS.

rtcvb32: I don't buy/play DS/3DS games, so...

omega64: Etrian Odyssey. It's a series of amazing dungeon crawlers for DS and 3DS. The gimmick is that you you have to draw the map yourself instead of the game doing it for you.

l0rdtr3k: Don't forget about the F.O.Es!

rtcvb32: I was fine until you mentioned that... Now i'm reminded of this IOSYS flash animation...
