PS2 Backlog Committee

I LOVE the art style (holy ****, I NEED to do a Rau workout challenge like yesterday, that mofo has my ideal body)...but I don't like the gimmick. The one button per enemy thing got old before I beat the first level. I don't like that this beast of a man has to do all this stealth either. It's not bad at all and I thought after my Assassin’s Creed shenanigans, I would be able to go back but no. I just don't like it. Oh well, time to PS2oose something else. I still have Psychonauts downloaded, maybe that? Sly or Jak is possible, I never really gave those a go. Rogue Galaxy or Devil May Cry are still a possibility...decisions, decisions.

And its style of combat with the timing of buttons with delays is something I never got used to. I tried DMC2 last night and umm...



If it doesn't work, it's the Danny Devito I started blasting meme . didn't use my sword at all and just shot everything. And it worked. And I got bored.

I own the whole series through 5 so I will try 3 next. My hope is that they balance it right this time...

Old man, I would love to play Onimusha 3! I think. Is that the Jean Reno whip sword one?

Psychonauts I tried again next...I just hate collecting stuff. It's just not my bag. I think I might try and get back into FF12. I never finished it for whatever reason. I tried in 2020 but either Odyssey or P5 Royal dominated my attention instead. I made it to the point I wanted but didn't press forward to the end. That might be a lazy summer endeavor...
