And I really enjoyed it. When it wasn't raping my confidence as a gamer, I was having a supremely good time with it.

My question to you GA42, is if there are any others like it. Keep in mind I do not own a PS2.

Awesome. Bet you're glad to have that over with eh? That last boss fight and area in general suck. I HATE Ghost Fish GRRR.

Now beat the game again on hard mode! Come on I did it. You know you want to : P

As far as hardcore gaming goes I've no idea what would be on par with NG. You might want to go digging for some NES games or something. Contra anyone? Or if you're feeling a little crazy try playing some of the other NG games.

Go to hell.

You know, I might think about breaking my 7 year embargo on Sony to get a PS2. I want FF7-12, Ratchet and Clank, DMC, MGS and all that good stuff.

Should I?

Just the reaction I wanted XD

I don't know chief that's your call. If you want to play the games badly enough I suppose you could. Why do you hate them so much anyways? Aside from the obvious nonsense that everyone else dislikes them for.

I've already ranted your ear off about Sony in person, on the phone and over the internet so I'm not going to bother with it again.

That system has some damn good games for it though.

Mika, why do you need a PS2 for FF 7, 8, 9? You don't have a PSX either?

If you don't even have a system to play PSX games then you have GOT to get a PS2. I can't imagine not having one...

You are missing out on way too many classic titles.

Yeah, I had a 64 during that period and it was only after the Dreamcast dying that I started to dislike Sony.

Well if your Sony boycott is just because of the Dreamcast's death, then that is pretty weak. I mean nobody is ever happy a system like that fails, but you can't blame Sony. Well, you can, but you can't hold it against them.

And besides, when a person boycotts a company like Sony or my grandfather thinks he's so cool for boycotting Wal Mart because of their total destruction of the US economy and their ultimate Satan greed, then that is also not very smart because the loss incurred by the boycotter pales in comparison the loss incurred by the boycottee.

So just do away with the past and get a PS2 for Christ's sake. You'll be glad you did.

I honestly can't see any reason at all in not having a PS2. It is relatively cheap now and you can play two generations of games on it. Games like:

God of War, FF 7-12, Xenogears, Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga 1&2, Devil May Cry 1&3, Metal Gear Solid 2&3, Drakan: The Ancients' Gate, Katamari Damacy, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, Grand Theft Auto 3-San Andreas, Dino Crisis, Blood Omen, Final Fantasy Tactics, SaGa Frontier 1&2, Vagrant Story, Everblue 2, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Onimusha 1-3, Shadow Hearts series, Romancing SaGa, Summoner series, Yakuza, Way of the Samurai series, Silent Hill 1-3, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Star Ocean: The Second Story, and fucking Dino Crisis!

I mean honestly, how can you pass up all those games?! That's only a VERY tiny surface scratch on the PSX/PS2 library. Get a damn PS2 my friend!

Out of curiosity, did you finish the NES or XBOX Ninja Gaiden?

And think of it this way... you're buying a PS2 not for Sony's sake, but for Square-Enix, Atlus, Konami, Capcom, Sega, and other companies that actually make good products that you'll only be able to play this way.

Well that is was your only implication. Not that the reasons matter, I'm sure everybody could find reasons to boycott Sony, but I agree with Runeslash and the point he makes. And Grey compiled a tempting list to any gamer who is PS2-less. Two immediate additions to Grey's list that come to mind are ICO and the Suikoden series.

Wow... you have neither the PSX or the PS2?!

How... how do you even game?! Most of the games that I own are on the PS2 and the PSX, and if you're even remotely an RPG fan, those two consoles were THE consoles to buy this past generation. Hell, I'd argue that for any genre at all, that the PSX and the PS2 were the console must-haves.

Any sort of hatred for Sony, like Runeslash said, is easily nullified by supporting the third-parties. The PS2 is only $130 now, and having just picked up the Limited Silver Edition one at TRU (my first-gen one refuses to read discs), I can't even imagine being a gamer without one.

No one's picking on you we're merely giving you suggests and reasons for why you should have a PS2. Like I said if you want to play these games than buy one. It's not going to kill you. Besides like RS you're giving support to the third party guys who made stuff for Sony, not Sony directly.

All they're getting would be the 129.99 you shell out to buy the system.

I know, I'm just joking. xD

I'm actually happy that all you guys are helping me out. ^^
If I've got enough money after buying my girlfriend a DS Lite, I'll get a PS2 this season. :]
