The true ending route was slightly altered in Golden. The steps are essentially the same however.
i thought that was bioshock

I just beat TLoU. I'm not sure whether it's my GOTY or not, but it was a gorram fine game, and Joel is my favourite character in a long while.
My favourite part of the game was
Overall, I'd give it a final score of 9/10. It was extremely polished and well-made, but a few noticeable imperfections and annoyances hold it back from getting a perfect grade.
My favourite part of the game was
the boss battle against David at the end of Winter. I loved how not only did it act as a final exam for your stealth and movement skills, but that David dynamically got more and more serious/desperate as the battle went on, going from gloating and strolling around with his head up to being a crazy silent ninja who crouch-runs around like a cannibalistic Solid Snake.
I wasn't too fond of the last part of the game though; I felt as though the game didn't provide enough tools/warning, meaning that I went into it with low health and ammo and no medkits/bombs. It was frustrating because I tried innumerable times to play it like it was meant to be played and stealth through the hallway using bricks and bottles to distract the soldiers, but I ended up getting mad and just running towards the objective flamethrowering/shotgunning anyone in my path. The plot's ending was great though, and I really love how complex and morally grey Joel's character is compared to most heroes in gaming nowadays.

I imagine Breath of Fire 4 has probably aged pretty well. At the very least, the sprite work is still gorgeous.
I never said that, so it's not hard for me to disagree.
I'm doing a trade/swap with a few gaffers, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
Lotus Juice just posted this on his Facebook fan page.
The next Persona Music live is August 13th, maybe we'll get a tease there?
Either way, a reminder: Lotus Juice has some awesome solo music that's well worth checking out!

But what if it is?

I've been assured that Grandia is still wonderful, and supports dual-stick controls, too.

It's most likely the P3 movie, I think, but I'm still hyped.
What a cool guy.
That would be my guess, as well.

Oh perfect timing, I want to branch out after finishing Persona and try out new RPG titles. Are the BoF series played in chronological order, or is it a Final Fantasy type thing where they're loosely related.
Also my guess.
And Star Ocean 2 holds up really well in terms of PSX era RPGs. It's also the last good Star Ocean game.
And Private Actions = Social Links before Social Links were Social Links.

IIRC only 1&2 are connected, and even then its somewhat loose. 3 and 4 are stand outs I believe.
EDIT: First 2 Star Ocean games are pretty good
I wish they were on PSN playable on Vita ;__;
I say get Xenogear. I still need to play it, but it is considered the best game in the Xeno franchise (and that franchise is purely magical).
Not even remotely related. You're good starting on 4.

This whole post. So much truthfact. SO2's was a real gem.
But....Star Ocean 2's voice acting was....sooooooo terribad.

Yeah the new song being for the P3 movie makes the most sense imo.
Whew... I finally cleared the Sumuru TV station. Massive dungeons + with random encounters + constant backtracking = massive pain in the ass. Fortunately I got estoma via a mutation (lucky me) and now I don't have to worry about random encounters.
The plot of P2:EP is really starting to pick up. It was nice to see
One thing that Persona 2 does really well is set up great villains. There's a bunch of them, and since most of them are human you can actually understand their motivations and desire. They're very hate-able, haha.
Can't wait to finish this game, I gotta know how it ends.
Excellent, i'll dive right in!

Lisa Silverman again and the Protagonist from P1. Poor elly, that sorceress has no right to mess with her like that...

You mean the best ending.
The worst was seeing it coming a mile away after solving the last puzzle. Was a traffic accident you saw coming but was powerless to stop.
Still nice suckerpunch of her killing you even when she didn't really have to. Oof.
Still leads questions then. She wasn't purely good, she was 4, "brother" was 2. So given that, her "accomplice" would have to be June in the first place. Probable, but Clover could have just snapped with her "brother's" death anyway. Hence me jumping immediately back in.

Oh DemiKids, even a cutesy SMT is grimdark.
Demon shows up, your friend gets in its way, your friend is immediately killed. Cue devil summoning!

I love watching people grok out hypotheses for those two games. It's a big chunk of their fun!
It's also what ruined Lost for me!
If the path is similar, almost done with another ending, last puzzle room maybe.
Ok, why the SHIT am I magnet for bad endings?
*starts again*

Backstabbed, and can't even find out WHO did it? Soaskidnfaoisnfaosgnfaosgnasdfj
Ok, theory. I could say it was Clover again, but that would be boring. More interesting was who was in the coffin(if that's what part of that was supposed to mean), and in this case, I'm going to guess Snake.

Ugh tell me about it. I'm probably the only person on the planet who despises that ending.
Hahahaha real funny, Clover is basically a horrible human being! So funny.

Grab you one of those non-spoiler ending flowcharts. It's like P4 that way but harsher.
As if we didn't realize that on first sight!

Clover was weird, but it didn't immediately occur to me that she murderous, backstabbing piece of human garbage. The only solace to that ending is the fact that she dies a slow agonizing death in that ending too (since she can't open the q door). She keeps these murderous tendencies in the sequel -.-
I'm not so subtly poking fun at the people who thought the ending was funny, like my brother!
Ha, didn't know that was a thing. Then again,
crazy axe murder by an insane little girl is pretty funny, in a way.
Thanks guys. I'm weighing my options, but Xenografs was actually what sparked my interest, given the apparent thematic similarities with Prsona.

Can't go wrong with Xenogears really
.Grandia's pretty bitchin as well.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but is Persona 4 worth playing if i can't play Persona 4 Golden? I still have my old ps2 laying around and could grab a copy to play, or is it worth waiting and eventually just grabbing a Vita to play P4G?
Persona 4 is worth playing no matter what. Jump in with the PS2 version if you can't get a Vita anytime soon.
Well you could if you really hate story heavy games, I guess....

Play the PS2 one! It's still great even now. Most of what Golden added was minor conveniences and irrelevant side-content.
Those people are heartless monsters!

P4G is much higher res and looks sleaker.
P4G's the better game for sure but if you aren't keen on getting a Vita then just go for the PS2 version.
