Pity, but why did you get so pissed off on it? You can take your time in battles, unlike most Final Fantasy games.

You need the strategy of Quatermass! Expert on Final Fantasy games 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 10-2.

A little tip, many platinum games nowadays are down to $30, though that's after some time.

Target Country, according to my research, is just like a min-Target. Therefore, they may have PS2 games. Investigate before making a decision.

I got pissed off at that scorpion thing at Mushroom Rock.

Oooh, you're a FF7 expert. What's 7 like anyway? I haven't played it.

I bought a gamecube and a GBA SP and Crystal Chronicles with the GBA adaptor for $100 going to a pawn shot. You can get games for $5.

The hard part is finding second-hand games I want.

The Sinspawn? You're not even a third through the game, and you got pissed off by that?

Hints, milasso. First, hit the head repeatedly with magic or Wakka's blitzball. This'll prevent venom. Second, use Kimahri and Auron to hit the arms. Savvy?

If it was perhaps Seymour, or one of his forms, or the Sanctuary Keeper, Spectral Keeper or Yunalesca, then I wouldn't be surprised.

7's good. The graphics and sound aren't much by today's standards (especially when looking at 8 and 9 on the PS1), but it has excellent gameplay, an excellent storyline (albeit with some humourous mistranslations like "this guy are sick" and "off course" when it means "of course") and very memorable characters. Oh, and Sephiroth. I rest my case.

Yup. He killed me every time I tried to kill him. I get pissed off with RPGs all the time, it's nothing new. I even got pissed off with Kingdom Hearts and Tactics Advance.

Would you prefer me not to laugh at all, or do it somewhere out of earshot, like a cupboard?

Amazing that you find RPGs so hard, and yet Devil May Cry 3, considered one of the HARDEST games of all time, is a f***ing breeze?

Wikipedia Article on DMC3 wrote:

The U.S. version of DMC3 differs in terms of Difficulty with the original Japanese game, making it quite a bit tougher to complete. "Easy" Mode was scrapped and replaced with "Normal" Mode. "Normal" Mode was replaced with the "Hard" Mode, and "Hard" Mode was replaced with the U.S. exclusive "Very Hard" Mode (later added to all versions of Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition).

and, interestingly, look at this comment at the end of this extract from the neginning of IGN's review of DMC3

IGN Review wrote:

Hardcore gamers that think they're the best on the block had better take notice: Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is going to kick your ass... a lot. I don't care if you've played through Ninja Gaiden's Hurricane Pack before, or if you've somehow overcome the level 10 Orochi in KOF '97, or even if you managed to beat the original Maximo without losing any health -- Devil May Cry 3 is still going to kick your ass. Of course, that doesn't mean that Dante's Awakening is any more difficult than the games I've mentioned above, but to deny the fact that Capcom's stellar sequel is one of the most challenging titles of the last ten years would either make you a robot with superhuman reflexes, or a videogame prodigy not unlike that silent m***et kid from The Wizard.

You a robot or a freaky prodigy, RedMage?

And finally....

IGN Review wrote:

Other than the rarely-seen camera issue I mentioned a few paragraphs back, the only other hitch is that DMC3 may be too difficult for novice users. Because unlike your typical action title, Devil May Cry 3 never eases you into the more challenging areas -- it just throws you in from the beginning and says "good luck." So the learning curve is pretty steep and severe, but for those of you that are put off by Dante's great difficulty, that's your loss not his.

DMC3SE is NOT hard. It's easier than FFX, that's for sure! I thought I told you about this before Quatermass? I don't have the time and patience for RPGs, yet with DMC3SE and the Prince of Persia games, I can sit down and play them all day and night. I'm not even good at Pokemon games, as I don't have enough patience for them. I'm good at FPS games too.

Digital Devil Saga

The best RPG for the PS2. Also one of the hardest RPG's ever made.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

A great Stealth Action game. Better if you have fast internet for the online combat.

Shadow Of The Colossus

A great but short RPG/Puzzle. I have never played a more moving game.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! !! ! It'd only be harder through impatience. Okay, I'm gonna let you in on the biggest secret in RPG history, right?

You gotta level up your characters.

(BTW, Flagg? Your new avatar creeps me out. What happened to Liquid Ocelot or Naked Snake?)
