Now What?

[atolnon]

I avoid buying new games because I've already got such a stack to work through. I mean, still left over from the PS2, you dig? This roster is extensive. I finally got my shit together and finished Persona 4, which kind of left its emotional momentum by the wayside at this point, but fine. Whatever. It was cute, and a little forced, and it's done so if I ever want to talk about it again, I guess that options open to me.

But I probably won't, except as an aside.

That means it's time to decide what I'm up to next. I've got someone pestering be almost incessantly about Dragon Age, and I understand that people are really into it, but I've pretty much had all the generic fantasy setting in video games I'll ever need, so I don't really feel the need. What I have to finish here is :
Rule of Rose
Tenchu : Wrath of Heaven
Shadow of the Colossus
Silent Hill 2
Fatal Frame 2
Final Fantasy XII
Star Ocean : Till the End of Time
Viewtiful Joe
Xenosaga : Episode 1

There's a lot of gold there, and I know that people can feel strongly about this kind of thing, so what I'll do is probably just pick one kind of at random, maybe start a few again, and what I stick with is what I'll discuss. I guess you'll know pretty soon.

One of those is one of my favorite games ever :)

Which one is it, if you don't mind me asking?

Shadow of the Colossus.

I've heard that from lots of people! I'm pretty excited about playing it.

Rule of Rose is one of the scariest games I've ever played. Very High in my "There's No Way I Can Play This Game to The End" list.

You know, that's interesting. I'd never seen it in retail stores, just used game stores, and I never knew what it was about but it's by Atlas, who I really like. Then a friend said the same thing, and lent it to me, so now I've got it and I'm saying, "Well, what's this all about?" It seems like I've got a lot of horror games lined up.

I really wanted to tell you more about it, but I don't want to ruin the surprise, and besides I have played very little of it.

I'll say one thing, though, it's not like most horror games out there. The unexpected noises and dark environments we expect are there, but the game also has other, very unique ways of fucking up a player's mind.

I've played like, exactly half of this list.

Clearly my incessant pestering panned out!
