Sacred 2

What can I say? It's nerdy, a huge time sync, a little repetitive, quite old school and I love it.

To put things in perspective:

My stats are:

Level 22 (out of 200)
Played time 24 hours (mrs gave me 'the look' when she saw this.. I've only had it 5 days!)
Main quest completion: 25%
Number of side quests completed: 160 (out of 600)
Area of map uncovered 12%
Enemies killed: c.5000

After I complete the game on bronze difficulty I'll complete it on Silver to Unlock Gold, then Gold to unlock Platin, then Platin to unlock Niob. All with this character who gets to keep her stats and equipment for each new play through.
Then I'll play through the dark campaign with a new character.
Then I'll get the other 4 characters to level 15 and get 1000/1000.

So anyone considering this game be aware of what you're getting yourself into!

You really are a sucker for RPGs aren't you?

I'm reviewing it next, looking forward to it

I'm still rather unsure about Star Ocean despite loving the combat system. The story seems pretty dull and predictable, but I'm hoping it just needs time to get going. I think its main problem for me is it keeps making me want to play Star Ocean 2 on the PS1 instead

All in all i'd rate it the second best single player game on the PS3 behind Valkyria Chronicles. It's close but i'm a sucker for JRPGs so it just about takes the crown. Anyone who owns a PS3 should play infamous. Ride the lightning Cole!
Absolutely desperate to play InFAMOUS now, but simply cannot afford it. I'm waiting for Psymonkee to get his Xbox back, and therefore his Rock Band addiction, or by simply stealing it, whichever comes first .

Childs play compared to Star Ocean.

I'm back on Blue Dragon. I had to restart as I forgot what I was doing and how to play. I'm on disc 2 now and really glad I played it again. It's a massive game and it's so so pretty! The characters are annoying but I like the battle system. What bugs me the most is the fact that items can be hidden anywhere!

Also been playing mp Halo which has got me over my 5000 gamerscore target

*sounding like an advert time*
Your local Blockbuster should have it. Have a look when you take Fuel back.
Pity you're not local, you could rent loads on my account then

:/ In all honesty if it hadn't been for the £17.99 price tag I don't think I would have bought Star Ocean until there was a gaming lull. Tales of Vesperia in a few weeks time looks far the better the game and everything I've seen and read about SO 4 does make it seem decidedly average...

Saying this, I still found enjoyment in Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant so I have no doubt I'll probably end up quite enjoying it.

How far are you in so far?

To steal it you'd first have to make it to my house

Then get me drunk so I wouldn't notice.....and since you have no car I can safely say: Ner ner ne ner ner
