I dont like Dragon Quest VIII, Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga and Final Fantasy X-2 on the Ps2.
DQ VIII is too linear, crap story, way too much unnecessary grinding and too many random encounters.
Final Fantasy X-2 is just horrible. Shouldn't have been done.Â
Shin Megami Digital Devil Saga is too chiché, doesn't bring anything new and is boring as f***. But then again most Shin Megami Games are overrated. I still don't get it why some people love them and then trash the FF series if they're basically games with the same concepts (and worse graphics on the SMT games, with only a bloodier story). It's like saying that one Jrpg is a lot better than the other, when their core gameplay is almost the same (at least FF games "evolve" their gameplay with the next game, SMT games stay the same (classic JRPG's with way too many random encounters) and Atlus recicles a lot of material).
I still like Kingdom Hearts 2, but I think that it isn't as good as people say it is. KH2 is way too linear, it starts off the wrong way, the way you play it is boring and predictable (you play it in this order EVERY FRIGGIN' TIME: story starts, you get to a world, cutscene, fights, cutscene, more fights, more cutscenes, boss fight, go to another world, repeat). Combat issues an camera were somewhat solved, but I still think the first one is better and has way more charm.
Breath of Fire 3 on the Ps1, I like the game, but not as much as everyone else, the game is good, but the forth and fifth games were way better.
Vagrant Story on the Ps1, the game isn't great, it's a game worth 7.5 - 8.0 at most. Terrible, terrible combat system, sometimes the "weapon leveling up by grinding" doesn't work at all, and you have to rely on too much timing to kill a boss (it's too frustrating to deliver a lot of blows when they take 1hp each, not really worth it). Amazing graphics, nice story, but terrible gameplay. Medieval Gear Solid my ass.Â
