The Backlog: Final Fantasy X-XII

Default Prime writes: "Normally on the Backlog I reminisce about how awesome some old game is, but this week, with Final Fantasy XIII-2 only days away, I need to make a shocking confession: I don’t care for Final Fantasy games. I played a bunch of them in the days of the original PlayStation but always quit long before I finished the story. Still, I keep buying the things for some reason, always convinced that the latest game will be the one that reverses my dislike of the franchise. On my game shelf are copies of the three big installments on the Playstation 2, Final Fantasy X, X-2, and XII. I fired up some ancient game saves and took another look around the land of Spira for the first time in nine years to see if the franchise could lure me in again."

It'll lure you in again... As long as you play FFX and not FFX-2 haha. If you haven't made it through the story of FFX you're doing yourself a disservice I can tell you that much. The ending to that game is beautiful and leaves you breathless.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo198d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic198d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.
