Adding my two cents.  SMT 4 is a terrible, terrible SMT game.  Its a decent game, but its bad compared to what I'd expect from Atlus.   No Vitality or Defense stat so you're basically depending on luck and being a good enough glass cannon to survive.  I gave it up before too long.

 

Persona 4 Golden (which I am now playing) on the other hand.  Wonderful.

 

I also beat Dangan Ronpa.  It was great, high recommendations.

Started the final chapter in Trails in the Sky... First Chapter. This naming sure is weird. Anyway, the story started getting pretty interesting. I can't say I were particularly mindblown by it s

I finished playing VA-11 Hall-A recently and it was quite enjoyable. The bartending mechanics were nicely woven into the story and surprisingly challenging at times. The protagonist, Jill, is ado

I am currently playing the following games Fire Emblem Three Houses - It's great, I love everyone in it, but oh my god there's something immensely boredom inducing about the way the set this game

P4G is awesome I'm on my 2nd playthrough and I'm just finishing extras and trophies.

Currently playing World of Warcraft, and on non raid nights, osu!.

Really exited for WoD's release, while at the same time, hoping Death Knights don't get nerfed

 

If anyone wants to add my battletag, its Dodongo821#1742.

Emulated. Sadly, I never owned a GB. But I'm playing it on my smartphone. I really dig the emulation on MyGB, it's perfect in my case and suposedly works even on really crap smartphones. Because of the simplistic and nicely made UI, I feel almost like I'd be using a real GB, which is nice.

Quick question: I have a copy of Pokemon Silver, but the battery inside is dead, since the saves don't appear after I turn my GBA off.  Would it be better to try and change the battery in the game itself, or just play it on an emulator?  I'm a little afraid of messing with it, since it's so old.

 

It would certainly be more convenient to just play it on an emulator. It's not hard to replace the battery though, given you already having a replacement.

The game will never work again unless you change the battery.  I'd be more than happy to walk you through the process if you want (anyone with common sense and a decent handiwork of a screwdriver can do it) but there is a small chance of failure rate.  But if you can never beat the game without turning it off again whats the point.

Well, I don't already have a replacement battery, and I doubt any local game shops would have them, since every version of the GB is now considered "old school".  I think I'll just take the easy way out and try emulating it.  Any good ROM hosting sites?

It's a CR2025.  They're like three dollars for a 5 pack online. 

 

Here's the site I used but I'll give you some extra pointers if you decide to do it.

 

BTW, if a mod wants to move this discussion to the central Pokemon topic for future reference it might be helpful.

Well, I think I might have gone a little overboard with the ROMs.  I now have Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Crystal, LoZ: The Minish Cap, Fire Emblem, and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.  Think I'm set for a while.

 

Well, even though I have the ROM and can play it on an emulator, I still kinda want to get my physical copy of Silver working again.  I think I will get some of those batteries after all.  Thanks for the links.

No problem, I recommend using electrical tape if you have it, it'll hold it on a lot better.   If it doesn't work at first don't assume its wrong (so I wouldn't screw it on real tight until I check it).  Take it out, re-tape it, apply more tape and try again.  Once you get the hang of it its quite easy, I got mine to the point where I can throw the cartridges across the room and they won't dislodge but I would avoid bumping it around as much as possible.

Just bought Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 for the PS2.  So, sometime between August 15-20, I shall return to my lonely PS2 and turn that sucker back on.

 

Brings back such good memories of playing Battlefront 2, and taking advantage of the backwards compatibility to play Spyro: Year of the Dragon and Crash Team Racing.

The persona series is awesome if you like JRPGs, I had Persona 4 for the ps2, beat it then sold it, now I have Persona 4 Golden for the vita.

Any idea which you're going to start with? (I'd be interested to hear other peoples opinions on this as well.)  I personally played 4 first (which I think was wise for mechanics sake) and then went back and played 3 later but if you're fine with challenging RPGs you could start with 3 (since I hold it's the better story). 

 

BTW try to avoid spoilers as much as possible.

Honestly, I have no idea which one I'm going to play first.  I haven't played a lot of traditional RPGs, but I've played a lot of FFTA, and older versions of the Sims, so I have basic to average experience with both simulation and RPG games.

 

Most of the RPGs I've played are in real time, not turn-based, like Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, the Mass Effects, etc.

If you're not used to turn-based I highly recommend you start with 4.  3 can be a little...discouraging at first so starting 4 will let you get the feel of things and you'll only not understand about 2 minutes of the story.

The only turn-based RPGs I've played are like like FFTA (you control a party of 6 characters, it utilizes a grid-based movement system with a turn order based on each character's speed stat), but I've never really gotten into the main FF series.  Guess I'll go with your advice, then.  From the gameplay synopsis on Wikipedia, it seems like 4 is more forgiving than 3 is, so that might keep me from rage quitting.

Stray Cat is right, P4 is much more forgiving in terms of some fight mechanics and overall dungeon approach. Also it allows a much earlier entryway to most of the social interactions that will help you in your fights in a somewhat indirect way than P3. If you want to learn more about game mechanics and want a little more lighthearted story and characters start with P3, otherwise plunge right into the Lion's den.

Never fear my child, soon the words "Marin Karin" will strike fear into his heart just like the rest of us.
