Well, I will say Namco has done okay this generation. Tales of Vesperia is pretty nice, I wish it still would be ported to the PS3. Square Enix ix definitely struggling right now, though. All they need to do is LISTEN TO THE FANS.
SO4 actually is noted for having a lot of fanservice, though, which is why I might get it.
Anyways, it runs very similar, you team up online to take down big monsters. It's strategic and fun, and it sucks if your like me and love the Long Sword. Because if you hit your friend/players online, with any weapon, they get knocked back. So you have to be careful. And with Long Sword, it's like being Mewtwo. You're good, but you have to be careful.
Scratch that, Mewtwo sucks.
It's more like.. I can kick extreme butt but I have to think real hard XD Makes it fun though.
Also, I know that guy is crazy. I actually like a lot of modern games.
SMG2 was a masterpiece, GE64 does suck now, it aged about as bad as FF1.
There is also FFX, Dragon Age, Infamous, pretty much all the ps3 games I'm getting, etc.
And by the way, DO NOT get Drakengard. It's bad. ****ed up storyline, but it sucks.
