Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 288: 7/8/23: Exoprimal Edition

Credits rolled on F.I.S.T. last night. Excellent game overall, only a few minor complaints. The English voice acting is weak, like I mentioned, but that's fixed by switching to the native Chinese. The difficulty spike issue I had was resolved by dropping the difficulty down. The only other issue I h...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 288: 7/8/23: Exoprimal Edition

A very unexpected gem. Still digging FF, tho I haven't played it since last Tues - just haven't been up f...

Re: The PS2 Backlog Committee Game Club Presents: PS2oose Your Own Summer Adventure!

I haven't picked yet, but that's partially because I can't find my raspberry pi right now (aka my ps2 emulation box). :P I remember playing a little Vexx, but I can't really remember anything specific about it. And it's not because I don't like 3D collect-a-thons. ;) Matter of fact, I'd recommend on...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 287: 7/1/23: The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie Edition

Phase & crim, you've both lasted WAY longer w/ Trails than I did - I tried to get into that game at least 3 times over the years and bounced off hard each time. Doubt I ever made it past the 2 hour mark (and probably not that far). Finally admitted defeat a few months back & sold them off f...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 287: 7/1/23: The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie Edition

Fantavision has been played to the credits - Fantavision 202x this time. ;) I never would have imagined they'd make a sequel to what's basically an obscure PS2 launch title, and that they'd make one so faithful to the original is even harder to imagine. Down to the quircky retro-future aesthetic and...

I haven't heard of that one before, but it does look very cool - I'll be adding it to my wishlist to keep an eye on it for a sale. Thanks Phase!

Re: The PS2 Backlog Committee Game Club Presents: PS2oose Your Own Summer Adventure!

I saw several on my list that I wouldn't mind playing again, truth be told, but at least for the first one here I'm trying to go for something "new". Tam & I are going to a big retro game con in a couple of weeks, Southeast Game Exchange, in South Carolina. I'm gonna be on the lookout ...
