post your current game obsession

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 has taken everything that P3 did right, and made it better. All the little quirks are streamlined, the Social Link system is vastly improved (S. Links with party members actually do something now), and battle is just as fun and rewarding to the tactical mind as ever. Again, a wonderful translation, though I've heard that it's more of a localization in that respect (A lot of liberties taken w/ dialogue apparently.) If anything though it just makes it more enjoyable to a native English-speaker.

A random note of interest: Shortly before I got P4 I picked up a copy of P3:FES (the "special edition") and started a new file. What I failed to notice the first playthrough was the little in-joke poking fun at P2. Whether this was from me not noticing due to the many years since I've played P2 or if I picked different options and the joke didn't come up I don't know.


"Name your character Tatsuya and I'll change mine to Maya"

>I get it. Funny.
>Huh?

"Wow, didn't think very many people played those games... Don't run into any Jokers!"


Very edited, but that's the gist of the joke.


On the MMO front some of my friends and I are giving LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) another try. It's a lot funner this time around, cuz we're actually sticking together and helping each other out a lot.

In the handheld race, Pokemon Diamond has recently won out over my PS1 Classic copy of Suikoden on the PSP. I keep falling asleep playing it though, so my time is racking up like crazy. I'm racing myself to see if I can get my fourth badge before I hit 100 hours. I figure my actual played time is around 12-ish.
