well in IX my one friend and i would take advantage of the 2-player battle option in the main menu. that was when we were hanging out, we both had the game and were trying to beat it before everyone else,
including eachother.

i'd like to do that with V on PS.

i can relate to alot said here, i get uncomfortable when people watch me play, because all they talk about is how they don't get it or couldn't last through it. i'm like "...thanks"
