Figured I'd try to get a general discussion thread going on this comm. If there's interest I'll make a new thread every now and then.
I've been going through the Ratchet and Clank series on PS2 and am just starting up Going Commando. Emulating everything on PCSX2 (ask me about emulation for anything ever and I'll be glad to help you) which has been a really great experience so far. This franchise has lots of nostalgia for me and represents the best of the PS2-era platformers (although I did love both Sly and Jak). I think the reason I've always like the R&C series more than Jak is that the weapons were more creative/fun to use than those in Jak 2 onwards.
I'm thinking about trying out the System Shock Remake this weekend but never played the original. I'm aware it's a much older design-style of game but it looks like something I could really enjoy.
I know the games have different writers, but it's sometimes so frustrating when they can't decide if the Tojokai is actually good or not. Kiryu will spend an entire game trying to dismantle them, or get away from them, and then in the next he's rebuilding the Tojo to fight against the dastardly Omi. That happens like 4 times.
Still really good games though. Better written than most games. Cool characters, neat plots, side stories are hilarious. I'll love them until I die.
