Some more PS2 games

[Rostum]

Well, I'm looking to buy a few PS2 games. I've got Xenosaga III ordered (released on 15th), and I'm looking for a few more to keep me occupied until FFXII gets released (probably Feb 2007).

I was thinking of these games, if someone wants to comment on one or the other:

- Suikoden 5
- Tales of the Abyss
- Disgeae 2 (never played first)

And I'm still debating on these two:

- Digital Devil Saga (I know I should get this, but want some more info)
- Magnacarta: Tears of Blood (Looks good, but must be dull?)

I know I asked this before, but that was awhile ago (also, I already have CC, FF7, 8, 9, 10, 10-X, KH1, KH2, DQ8, SO3, Xenosaga 1+2).

Suikoden V - YES YES, OH GOD YES.

Ahem, it's the best rpg I've played in a long time with a great story and characters, you have to buy it. It makes up for suikoden 4.

Suikoden V is the best game on that list. It doesn't need debate; get it, play it, love it.

I liked Magna Carta a lot, but a lot of people don't. It was my then-girlfriend's copy, and she traded it in, so I've not ever got all the way through it or anything. The amount I did play was largely good, however.

Maga Carta was interesting, you eventually get used to the battle system and it had a neat story, I lost interest though.

Just pre-ordered Destroy All Humans! 2 because, well, it's gonna be awesome. It should keep me busy in the week or two before FFXII arrives.

I keep hoping Videogames+ will screw up and dispatch FFXII like, right now

Out of those three, I'd say Suikoden V. I'd imagine Disgaea 2 to be pretty good also, but I havent played it yet.

Okami. It's at least as epic and endearing as any Zelda game, with a unique atmosphere rooted in Japanese mythology.

Okay, well that's settled, I'll get it.

I completely forgot about this game, I'll have to check up on it!

I'm still not really sure, it does look nice in terms of graphics and design though.

If anyone has more to add, that'd be great, especially on Tales of Abyss and Disgeae 2. ^^

With Magna Carta, you can definitely tell it was made by men, though Heh, the artwork is... interesting.

Phantasy Star Universe <----------- You REALLY need to get this.
Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga

Phantasy Star Universe <----------- You REALLY need to get this.
Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga

Yes, YES! get these two games too!

Disgeaia 2... tis a fun game, if you like strat games. Storyline is comical and has its moments. I'd suggest getting the first one to see how you like it and then move on to the second, since there are some things better understood when you've beaten the first game.

Tales of the Abyss is very good. I played with multiplayer, so I'm not sure how great the AI is. Its storyline is pretty good, and once you get used to a few controls the battles are fun as well. I have the Japanese version... so I don't know if they'll change anything like they did with Symphonia....

Suikoden V, while being a fantastic game I really could only play through it once, to be honest. It drags for awhile.

Anywho, I also recommend the Silent Hill games, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, Guilty Gear XX #Reload (If you live in the PAL region), Virtua Fighter 4, and King of Fighters XI (again, PAL).

I didn't enjoy Magna Carta as much as I thought I would. The battles were fun, except something about the elements confused me which made them a little less fun in later stages There was some part that I couldn't even get past because I wasn't doing any damage at all. Friends wondered how I even got there not knowing anything about the element changing thing.

Atelier Iris Eternal Mana is good. But it is not new. I did not play Atelier Iris 2 yet, but the friends who recommended the first one to me did say they enjoyed the second one better.

People also seem to like Disgaea/Disgaea 2 but I can't recommend them since I don't really like SRP games.

Radiata Stories; brilliant. Fast battle system, many ways to advance in the game which gives it a high replay value in my opinion. There are also extra things to go through when you're done with the game.

[Rostum]

Thanks for the replies.

-PSU, I don't think that comes out here until the end of the year. ;x

-Radiata Stories, although it looks very nice, I don't think it's even coming out here at all. ,_,

-I'm not a huge fan of SRP, I didn't even know Disgaea was like that, so meh.

-And Joel: I don't think I'm into the fighting games as much as you are, though I've been told to get Guilty Gear XX a fair few times, so I could consider it. ;D

I'm still considering Magnacarta, Digital Devil Saga and Tales of Abyss, moreso the later two of the three, thanks heaps for replies though. ^^

Edit: Atelier Iris 2 looks pretty cool, with my luck it won't be out here, but I'll have a look around. ^^ Is it a continuation of the first one? If so I might have to look around for the first as well.
