Games keep letting me down...

[Almeidaboo]

This time it was Suikoden IV (just finished it, in 38 hours*)...Ack, the game was so sudden,  so obvious, so shallow....I can say that the battles were very good, even though we do not have the six-men-party as in S1 S2 and S3...Aw man, cīmon, this wave of bad rpgīs has GOT to stop...

Anyoneīs played it? Anyone has anything to say about these crimes that have been pulled against us, RPG fans?

*BTW, I only did it in 38 hours cuz I leveled up a LOT. I could have done it in 20 hours easily, LOL....

I'm still on Suikoden 3, lol.

P.S.
Your sig is messed up.

I just started Suikoden IV yesterday and I can't really say I'm impressed. Some of the areas seemed far too open and under-detailed, the game just lacked a sense of polish and detail.

i cant find 3 anymore to buy it so i don't wanna get 4 yet

is there a connection like the first two betwee 3 & 4

[Almeidaboo]

Actually, 4 is 150 years before 1....IF you have played Suiko 1 youīll know about that...actually you might not, cuz it depends on sume actions....aw man, I canīt explain it cuz itīll spoil the game if you ever play it...
I can say in is disappointing, but worth playing...it had an bad production...the fighting system pleases me...and the sea enviroment is an interesting "try"....course it didnīt work out huh...

My sigīs messed up? But is it just a phrase...aw man, Jesus got mad at me!

 I still in Suikoden 2 and I didnt play the first one yet, I think suikoden 4 is 3-D? Thats the problem, sprites are MUCH bettah, just look to the older Super Mario World, and the new 3-D mario series, same with sonic series, I have more fun with the classic-looking games. Thats because now they are making games with better graphics and less funny things, they forgot what a game should be like, it should be fun

I actually think that it is possible to put graphic and entertainment together...BUT, if things remain going the way they are, I gotta agree with you: letīs go back to  low quality graphics and good quality storyline/characters/battle system...

BTW, everyone thought that Suikoden 1 was the worse (cuz everyone starts with suiko 2) before suiko 4 was released...Suiko 1 is the root of all, one of the best RPGs EVER...

Hmm never played any of the suikoden games, what systems are they for? I may go download.. err I mean buy em.

Right now I'm working on going through star ocean 2, but now that I'm getting close to the end (I think), I don't like it too much

Itīs an excelent system (suiko 1 and 2) in which you fight with 6 characters in your party, characters that can use long, short and medium ranges weapons. Short can only be in the front line, medium can be anywhere and the same for long ranged characters...It changes a bit in Suiko 3 and 4.

The main theme is based on a chinese tale that a hero gathers 108 stars of destiny to battle a evil of some kind....That means the game has 108 different playable characters, and you can get them all, or not. The game emphatizes Empire wars, not aliens and such idiotic stuff...Plus the storyīs feature a Rune that chooses the hero and give him the power to change his fate....it is usually a cursed rune and stuff like that....

Itīs my fav series after Final Fantasy...It is really worth buying, but d/ling is ok too...

 And you forgot to say that there also a blacksmith system to make your weapons more powerful, and you can put magic in the weapons as well, and you can buy magic, but can't buy new weapons, the runes aren't cursed, just... the heros have bad luck, thats all, that plus the fact they don't want to fight....

Wow, that dose sound pretty cool. I only download games if they're not avalible for me to buy. Since this series allready has 5 games, I'm guessing the first one is for the snes or sega. If thats the case, its not really going to be possible for me to buy from any store.

108 characters!? I thought chrono cross had a lot...

 I think the first one is for playstation, but I never found, so I dunno.
