Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?

Really goes to show how bad this gen is of games. Specifically RPGs. Persona 4 is a ps2 good (last great rpg gen) and it's much better and much longer lasting than anything new I've played in the last few years.
Almost makes it worth owning a vita for.
Almost,but doesnt
edit: Flavin is here so I better say IMO before he gets his panties in a bunch

Ehh after leveling 6 and a half jobs the old way playing every possible role in parties I'm good on that kind of "fun". I'm glad they introduced abyssea and book grinding... no more waiting for hours for parties or that whm or tank to pop up... no more fighting over that camp spot... Unless you had someone in LS or on vent or something to distract ya it was boring as ***...
Edit: You still have the option of solo/duo/trioing too... as well as starting up your own parties...

Ugh, starting to hate the fact that I follow food blogs.
Especially when your stomach is growling, and you go to the fridge to see something along these lines.

Otherwise it was just 74 levels of playing in a way that would be irrelevant at 75, and 40+ hours to "learn" things that should take you all of 10 minutes. XD

I keep telling myself I'd get into the Persona franchise and see what the buzz is about. But I don't even really know how to approach it or where to start.

One person afking or fake d/cing was always such a hold up...

If you have a psp or vita (or ps3 if it can play downloaded psp titles) you can get the first one on the PSN for 10 euro (likely 10 dollars),2 and 3 are on there as well for a bit more. I have persona 2 and 3 on the psp but never fully played them at the times I got them,but they were definitely good. Got P4 when it released on vita and been playing it non stop since. 60 hours in and still have loads to do (take that modern RPGs!) and I recently got P1 from the PSN.But everyone tells me P1 is lacking but 2 onwards are where its at. I wanted P4 back in the day on ps2,but when it was released it was 60 euro for a ps2 game.....in a time where ps3/360 games were 50-55 euro,so no dice
Also,the games are basically unrelated,so you could start at any game

One person afking or fake d/cing was always such a hold up... That was my biggest problem with it tbh, lose 1 person and everything grinds to a halt. With Abyssea or book grinds the party keeps going with out 1 person so even if it slows down at least it is still going.

I suppose my only concern is breaking sequence of whatever story is being told. Are they inter-connected and imperative to play in sequence, or are they completely separate entities?
Then there's also that vague category of games that fall into some opaque timeline and inter-connected lore but is unimportant as to which you play first. Zelda is the best example of that particular trait.

From what I've played of 2/3/4 there are similar gameplay elements,but nothing links the stories together in any way

Conveniently it's probably the person who said "artisan hamburger"

How come?
All I know is its so disheartening ordering a burger and it looks like slop compared to their pictures

I recall (at least in advertising) shots used for a particular food product are typically modeled using things that aren't even comprised of what the actual product is or even resembles.

Sorry, but beef and bread can have a degree of sophistication. That doesn't make it artisan.
It's just someone putting different topping on an item that loaded with toppings. Thats like calling something an artisan pizza.
Quit being hipster.
Honetly....

I don't see your qualms over it. Honestly.
In this case, breaking out of the typical chain of mass produced garbage.

I mean honestly. Well if it works the same as bread they could slap artisan on it if it was all made by hand, no artificial ingredients and no preservatives and it would be proper. I would be somewhat doubtful that is the case though..

Guess that makes me an artisan fapper,gamer,and many MANY other things :D

Art, you're so hipster it's impossible to explain the logic behind it to you...
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
