My Love Of JRPGs Is Dying

For someone who has dedicated hundreds of memorable hours to the best this sub-genre has ever offered, it's difficult to accept such a sad fact.

I still play the old ones though... Between 2011 and 2012 I have beaten FF6, FF9, Suikoden, Parasite Eve and that's all. I think I'm gonna play Xenogears during Christmas vacation but the Mass Effect Trilogy is looking tempting since I have never played any of them on PS3. I wanna play Suikoden II too but the game's really expensive and for some reason Konami doesn't want to put it up on PSN already. =/

And still hyped for FFvs BTW! Believe it! And hoping that Sega someday brings up another Valkyria Chronicles game to consoles.

I wish I was you, the entire ME trilogy to play for the first time! man your gonna have fun with that!

best universe ever created! yes that include middle earth and star wars, you ll get 40 hour for M1 and 2 each and about 30 for ME3

as for JRPG;s I have only played 3 in 5 years, thats Dragon Quest VIII, Dark Souls and Xenoblade Chronicles

I agree most these days are lacking, but honestly give a try to Xenoblade or Tales of Graces F. Those two have been beyond fantastic!

Also, to those that haven't played the Ys series yet, if you have a PC and Steam, you need to get Ys Origin. It's simply amazing in so many ways. Sure it's an older game (2005-2006) but still wonderful.

I'll def buy Tales of Graces F once I finish up Persona 4 and Valkyria Chronicles. PLENTY of people have recommended it to me.

It's a little... "stiff" feeling at first, but once you start getting into it, you'll be glad you did. Also, if you have any friends, it's really fun to co-op battles in that game and helps greatly in harder difficulties with boss battles.

Yes though, finish up Persona 4. That game had me hooked nonstop from start to finish.

My friends aren't into JRPGs like me unfortunately. But I'll def buy it at some point.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
