"So, Tales of Symphonia..."

Got Tales this morning. Coldest game I've ever got (erm.... yeah).

But it seems good. At first the combat seemed a bit crappy, just a shallow PSO-type system, but now it's starting to get good. Only played it for half an hour, but I can see it getting very good in a few hours (of play, not just time).

Oh, and It's published by Nintendo. Something I didn't know. And it's got two discs.

Now, how in gods name am I going to get the time to play this, Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario 2, Halo 2 and still leave my social life intact?

Sheet.

I sent my other half off to work with strict instructions to buy this or else!....

so it should be waiting for me when I get home

*I hope*

I've got Halo 2 and Half Life 2 bought.

But I've still yet to get this, Paper Mario 2, Metroid Prime 2 and finish Pikimin 2.

I have little spare money, and the first two games need exhausting first!

Damn, completely forgot about Pikmin 2! Got near the end then started playing a whole load of new games. Another thing, voice acting isn't as crappy as the IGN review said (I think it was them, anyway), and the graphics are great. I thought I was sick of cel-shading, but it really suits Tales, even the textures lack quality.

Stupid Nintendo, releasing more brilliant games than anyone else and not telling ME about it......

Well they did, I was just a fool.

Gimme money.

You can't get more shallow than PSO.

That'd be because its winter. My mail was suitably cold this morning.

Anyway, it sounds good but I shan't be getting it.

Yes, but Tales was in my porch for ages. With the porch door open.

Poor Tales :(

Ordered it Wednesday night received it Friday from S****games in a nice warm card board box cover thingy.

I've had it for months as you lot probably know, and i've played it twice, each with increased play time overall, and trust me the first time you might not get everything so that's about 60-70 hours of gameplay, then you play through a second time and get everything and that's about 80-100 hours. Trust me there are loads of things to do and i got up to level 90 on my second try when i just finished completing all the sub quests. basically almost all side quests involve a lot of fighting, and you will train up pretty quickly when youget used to the battle system, as you'll be a lot more confident and battle smart to avoid or defeat enmies efficiently and effectively.
