Talk to Mafiamaster and Ivalset. But I think most of the people who frequent this thread play at least some JRPGs.
Let me just state that my anime tolerance is not very high.

I can't play something like Ar Tonelico 3 or any hyperdimension neptunia games.

Games I enjoyed that are either JRPGs or similar enough in gameplay
Atelier Rorona/Totori
Resonance of Fate
White Knight Chronicles 2 (online component)
Final Fantasy 8, 9, 13/13-2

Star Ocean 3
Breath of Fire 3/4/5
Shadow Hearts series
Dark Cloud series
Dragon Quest 8/9
Mana Khemia
Persona 3/4
Ar Tonelico 2
Grandia 1/2/3/Xtreme
Eternal Poison
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Soul Nomad and the World Eaters
Odin Sphere
Valkyrie Profile 1/2
Hexyz Force
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 1/2

I've played a lot more snes/psx era games but my sense of nostalgia isn't strong enough for me to care about most of them.

Hey man, anime isn't for everyone, personally I'm a HUGE fan of the Ar Tonelico series, and to quote Rantai, my MK2 is being shipped now too! college wut nao?

I think FF13 was ok cool story, and looks pretty wasn't all that though. FF13-2 on the other hand is one of my favourite games in my inventory, same with Resonance of Fate damn that game is just so awesome.

I never played any of the star ocean series, but i thought that was more anime style? same with persona or at least that's how it felt to me when I played p3.

Star Ocean 3 isn't anime enough to bother me, neither is Persona 3/4. If a game is difficult enough and/or enjoyable enough I can overlook a lot of things.

I think I liked 13 more than I liked 13-2, even though 13 was certainly a flawed game. 13-2 is also criminally short; it's hard for me to justify the purchase of a game that lasts less than 30 hours, especially considering my wkc2 save file has recently surpassed 2000 hours.

No, not really, it's another heavily flawed game. It's very focused on grind.

Wow, I only just found the game on the shelves among many other games that weren't in the New Releases section despite being a new release (Came out this Thursday).
From what I've gathered after playing for about an hour, it's definitely better than the first game in a number of ways. Combat's much faster-paced and a bit more challenging, the skills are a lot less frustrating since it now just depends if you have enough AP to use it, dungeons are slightly more interesting, enemies are more creative and possibly a few other things.

Nepgear is adorable.

But yeah the two biggest things I noticed were the upgrade in environments and the music. It's at least decent now opposed to abysmal.

Also I quite like the use of the models in dialogue now, purely personal but seeing them move at 60 fps is something else.

Lol yuri too

I'm happy they're finally making a new Assassin's Creed game instead of remaking the same one. New traversal, new combat style, new free-running style, etc. And they're apparently ditching the castle defense thing they stuffed into Revelations, so that's nice. A bow and arrow will be cool to use. I wanna see what they mean when they say that momentum is a big part of combat now. It seems like it'll be less counter-based, so that's cool.

Edit: So yeah, I got really bored with Fear 2. Fighting the same fucking enemies with boring guns over and over just to get an occasional, not-even-scary pop-up... Trying out Bioshock. I don't know why I didn't like this game when I tried the demo, because I'm having fun with it.

Tower defense sucked, and spamming counter kills although cool as hell did get boring. Is it just me or is this franchise meant for a controller, playin on pc just doesn't feel the same, had to plug in my Xbox controller lol

For some reason I don't like bioshock as well... I think I've figured it out why, it's te time period, I don't really like anything set far into the future or bioshock's time period (modern yet ancient ala la noire)

Actually, there was one. It was rated PG by the ACB bizzarely enough and I have a copy with that same rating.
I've just heard that it's one of the rarest PS3 games that exist, which probably explains its scarcity.

Well,its still incredibly awesome to revive some old classics,especially for who (like me) dont have their old consoles anymore.
I cant wait to play my Jak e Daxter collection,just ordered my copy today,and i can assure you that a good part of my chilhood is contained in Jak e Dexter,im still sad that they didnt include Jak X,that was one heck of a racing game,and i hate racing games.

It's just that my copy of mk1 is PG. Here's a link if you don't believe me:

Yet again, PEGI rated it 12, ESRB gave it T, even CERO gave it a B.
Compared to mk2 which got 16 from PEGI, M from ESRB, and C from CERO.

So I finally started up Asura's Wrath. Played Part 1 (Episode 1-6). Holy fucking shit, I underestimated how awesome this game would be. I knew this game would be outrageous, but I never thought I'd be fighting a duel when I don't have any arms. And then kick ass. The fighting is so fun in this, too. It's so fast-paced and exaggerated. If this is just a movie, then it is the greatest movie I'll ever fucking see. I did underestimate how many cutscenes there would be in this game, but I don't give a shit cause every cutscene is awesome. Or hilarious. Or hilariously awesome.

Bought Skyscraper because it was so bad and the opening was hilariously bad. Long story short, it broke a controller somehow.
I was really expecting Gungrave to be a lot better though.

I still haven't gotten Noire join my party yet since there are barely any quests to raise Lastation's shares in Lastation and yet Arfoire doesn't have any shares to mooch off anymore since I already got rid of all of them.
Well, at least I'm almost done. Been playing it for about a week now.

EDIT: Just beat the game with the Normal and Human/Makers Endings. Time to get those other endings if I can.

Oh yeah, did anyone else notice that Cole's feet kinda look like cow feet? There's an odd indent at the tip of his shoe's.
It looks like cow feet because it's a Tabi Sneakers. I've also finished both inFAMOUS games and i gotta say they're both awesome (the 2nd is better though). Right now i'm playing Ratchet&Clank: Crack in time and Naruto Ultimate Storm 2, and i got my eyes on Star Wars for my next game :)

Oh, Noire can join your party. I just didn't think I'd end up locking her off by accident on my first playthrough. Did too many quests that raised Planeptune's shares in Lastation and I couldn't fix it sadly.
Got her in a New Game+ though.

That sucks lmfao! I didn't do any quests really, so I was good to go. All I needed to do was actually get Lastation shares to 50+ or w.e.

On another note, what is your favourite team so far? I do not specifically mean effective, unless your favourite just so happens to be such. Mine is: Uni, Noire, Nepgear, and Rom

Uni = Tsundere ('nuff said)
Noire = Epic (again 'nuff said)
Nepgear = OP
ROM = ZOMG ADORABLE VOICE

Mine is:
Nepgear (Yeah... OP)
Neptune (Not as OP as Nepgear but slightly OP even without good skills. Still has the awesome jokes)
Nisa (Not as useless as she was in the first one so +1 for her. Good skills)
Compa (Healer!)

So yeah, pretty much the first bunch you get. (IF replaced by Neptune)
No one else was worthy of replacing them. (Except for Compa when all the enemies were missing my whole team) No need for you, Compa.

Kay so today I discovered THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING EVER in HDN MK2.

Kay here it is:
Have Nepgear Partner supporting in the back behind Neptune. Nepgear has a support skill that allows you to break the 9999 damage cap. Now have two vanguard members pop two psp chargers on Neptune. Hit the boss with the Couple Skill and you'll be doing like 7 hits of about 40,000-70,000 damage ON THE FIRST TURN!!!

My team is now:

Noire (Leader) - I use her for str buffs/psp chargers/her epic sword attack thingy (forget what it's called)
Uni - I use her for psp chargers/and to take hits from paralyzer enemies.
Rom - Backup Healer just in case, and does fantastic magic damage.
Neptune with Nepgear damage break support - Cast Couple Skill.

I can take out bosses in one turn at like level 50 it's great. Even really really tough ones.

I wanted to keep Nisa, but seriously no CPU is just weak imo. However, she is just so awesome regardless. Compa's voice kills her character, i hate that damn desu~ness

Edit: I just discovered that there are a couple of damage limit breaking items sooo back to nepgear rapin'!!!

I've never gotten around to using couple skills. At first I thought, they had to be close together on the field and when I did find out about how to use them, I was already on the conquest ending route which you don't obtain any couple skills since "oooo sorry, not true ending route".

So yeah, my late game was just Nepgear spamming Celestial Severance on all the bosses while the others slowly chip at its' HP/GP.
About ~1.5 minutes for ~200,000 exp on a specfic boss fight? Might've been a whole lot faster with your 'no damage limit' rings.

Tales of Graces f

I fell asleep playing it. When I woke up, I was at the start of a boss battle. Boss was too hard on moderate difficulty and after 3 game overs, I turned off the PS3 and tossed my controller at the wall. Pissed, I fell back asleep.

Woke up the next morning (today), changed the difficulty to Normal. Still got demolished by this certain boss. Changed difficulty to Easy and beat the boss. Saved, then stopped playing because I wasn't satisfied.

The damage this boss does on moderate is ridiculous. 3/4 of my health gone, seriously... what is this? Stunned for 5 seconds, can't move at all, he proceeds to combo me further resulting in death. Then goes ahead and combos the other teammates and they easily die from it. Life potion someone, and I'm stuck for like 3 seconds giving the enemy a 1-shot chance.

Other bosses: I revive a person, they die instantly again because they head straight for the boss after waking up. Or even, the boss goes back to take their life again.

Summary: I like the game very much!

Well, challenge of the difficulties aside. I thought it was pretty bad tbh. I mean that entire beginning thing where you play as a kid doing kid things, like r u srs? no, I don't want that in my games thanks. If the other tales games are as shitty as this, then I won't even bother playing them. /disappointed :(

Well, it's not really fair to judge an entire RPG based on the beginning. They almost always take several hours to start revving up. You didn't even finish the Final Fantasy XIII tutorial for, like, 12 chapters. But I haven't played Graces yet and I haven't seen any videos of it yet. And it's not really fair to judge the entire Tales series based on one game, since there's over a dozen of the things, and they're not all the same. Unless you don't like some of the very, very basic things about the game. Tales of Symphonia would be one of the best Tales games. I've heard Tales of the Abyss is very good, but I haven't done that yet.

Abyss blows Symphonia out of the water.

Or maybe I just despise most of Symphonia's cast!

In any case, Graces' combat system is really nice and complex and the game gets a million times better once the childhood arc ends.

The bass guitar boss in Mother 3, by the sounds of it. That fucker was brutal

Those are both signs of a very poorly designed game. RPGs are supposed to engage nearly immediately (within the first 2 hours) with their mechanics if not their storyline. The fact that we've accepted what FF13 brought to the table is a sign that we're all lowering our standards. The fact that I both acknowledge and accept the problem suggests I'm one of the worst, too.

Well, it's not that an RPG is usually bad when it starts out, it's just that you haven't unlocked the abilities or side dungeons that make the game really awesome and challenging and stuff. It takes a while for the games to stop holding your hands. Symphonia, for example. really kicks in once you get access to the flying things (I forget the name). Golden Sun kicks in once you get a decent selection of Djinn. Doesn't Disgaea really start kicking into high gear after you beat the game? In Kingdoms of Amalur, I started having even more fun once I learned some new skills and abilities.

Agreed, the battle system basically took Symphonia's already great one and added everything it needed.
However... the story was a bit slow in a lot of places.

Anyway, it's a good thing I came here since I'm now reminded of Graces, I got to try it out soon.

There! That's about almost all the endings in mk2. Can't be bothered with the Conquest ending right now but its good enough.
Now to get onto Catherine.

Whoa whoa whoa I didn't say that the other tales games were as bad as graces F based on the beginning of this game. I was simply stating that *IF* the other games were like that then I wouldn't bother playing them. I agree with awp on the whole poor game design part, and I am also at fault for loving FF13. Maybe cause I'm a cutscene pixelwhore... Anyways, I didn't get that much enjoyment out of Graces F's combat system, my buddy plays a lot of tales games and says abyss, symphonia and vesperia (i think it's those three idr) were a lot better overall and that I should play them first then judge the series :p

Oh, and for me, (kinda pathetic but w.e I'm not ashamed) if I don't like the character designs, then chances are I'm not going to play the game. ie. Graces F.

and when I say character design I mean the colours, art, clothing, style, personalities, etc of every character.

T_T I'm so simple minded... Gimme hot girls a semi-interesting story, and fun combat and I'll be hooked for hours /points at HDN MK2

Haven't played Graces F yet but with Tales Of experience --

If you can't fight a boss, you're not grinding right.

SO! Today I finally finished Valkyria Chronicles! I must say the anime was horrible in comparison to the game, and I am absolutely thrilled about the ending in the game. It's always exciting to see a game end exactly how you want it to end, and that's what I got. So happy ^^

Glad to see that, VC1 was just brilliant imo.

I'm still crying that VC3 has no translation ;___;

Oh wow, there's already another Atelier game next month. I'm guessing Ival's getting that on day one.

Well, I would love to try out the Atelier series, but I was never really much of a "Crafting" person. I think the extent of acceptable crafting for me would be like Birth By Sleep, or Resonance of Fate.

Of course. I've been hype for this shit for forever.

Then I can wait for the next one to get localized.

Spent 30 dollars worth of DLC costumes on Tales of Graces and not giving a fuuuuuuck.
I don't know... it helps me stay motivated to play the game.

I too am looking forward to Meruru.
