The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Thoughts on Crystal Chronicles?  From Gabe's rantings over at PA this may be a game I'd actually spend my time playing...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Some of my friends play video games, hardly any play RPG's, some of us have GC, sopme of us have GBA... none of us have GBA and GC and schedules where we could all get together to play.

I'm sure its fun as hell, but it sure is targeting a small market, which is a shame.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>300 dollars? A non-SP GBA is only 60-70 bucks. The linky-cord dealie is like 10.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Nobody is going to spend money on a GBA that doesn't light up, so it's $100, plus the $10 for the cord, plus $50 for the game. Of course, if you're playing multiplayer, there's another set of GBAs there. Honestly, I'd rather spend that money on Steel Battlation.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Personally, I think it's a great concept and I wish I could play it. And from what I know about it, the each-player-has-a-GBA solution is the most natural solution for allowing people to go through menus and such without interfering with gameplay for everyone else. I wish they allowed multiplayer without the GBAs, but every time I try to figure out what it would be like, it involves partitioning the screen in akward ways.</div>
