Well I thought I would write another blog since I picked up a new game the other day. I have had my eye on this game since the early days of PS3, and finally decided to splurge on Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I didn't want the GOTY edition for two reasons:
1. Too expensive.
2. I didn't know if I would like the game, so why spend that much money on it?
So I ended up searching around for the classic Oblivion and finally found it.
I actually found it used with everything in perfect condition for $24, and I used a friend's discount so I actually got it for under $20, and am very pleased with so far. It seems like an incredible game. The first immediate thing that I noticed was just how MASSIVE this game is. There is SO much to do. I'm having a trouble getting a hang of it all, but then again I've only put about 4 hours into it and haven't made much progress.
I've already gotten myself involved in many sidequests and as I said I do like the game. I've been hoping for a good jRPG, and actually chose between this and Eternal Sonata...funny that I chose the western RPG of the two.
The only thing that annoys me about this game is the annoying watchers. I feel like I'm always getting sent off to jail and it gets annoying, especially when I'm not trying to do anything wrong.
I'm surprised I like this game as much as I do. It's literally an MMORPG..with the MM. I think this game would be a lot more fun if you could play with a few of your friends, even if it wasn't massively multiplayer...perhaps 2-8 friends or something?
I'll probably post more of my impressions about this game once I put about a dozen hours into it.
Also...I was looking through my old Playstation/Playstation 2 collection for some good RPGs to play and I picked out Lunar 2: Eternal Blue to play.
I remember having a fun time with this game back in the day but forgot just about all of the story. I've only played the very beginning of it so far, but I must say it was rather comical 
. I'll post more as I get further into this game as well.
So how is everyone doing? Anyone having problems with new firmware updates? I must say that the other day my friends list was err...malfunctioning. I don't know how else to explain it.

I've never played Lunar so I'm out of the loop for that alltogether.
) so I would have picked Eternal Sonata But enjoy it, cuz there are some really cool parts in there
SymphonyCometh: Ha, yeah it would be nice if they had a more constant stream of great music throughout. Would definately help the gameplay out a bit.
hazelnutman: Yeah, I'm more of a fan of jRPGs too, but I decided to give Oblivion a try because it was cheap and I really like MMOs like WoW. Oblivion is pretty much the same thing with no other players ha. I'm just confused about a lot of the system still.
. I plan on playing the first game, Silver Star Story, at some point, hopefully it is as charming as everybody makes it sound.
Otherwise the world is really interesting to explore but as I've said INCREDIBLY huge. Traveling is convenient though and it's pretty enjoyable. I rather doubt I will make it through Lunar 2. The graphics aren't doing it for me ATM.
, they looked dated soon as they came out. The only reason I'm planning on playing Silver Star Story is because I learned how to get it on my PSP. And that added convenience will make it much easier to play 
.
ShadowLaguna: It's actually probably the only real western RPG I've played besides MMOs.
DraconigenaDeus: Haha yeah, the graphics are veryyyy dated. I originally had my PSP set up with lots of Playstation games as well but then I updated the firmware one day so I could try out Remote Play.
