dude no way

come on


the story in legend of dragoon was executed horrrrribly.

in ff7,8,9 atleast you care about what happens.
i can still remember many things about ff7: aerith's death and cloud trying to reclaim his memories of her as he ran through the forgotten city or red13's story of his ancestors, etc. etc
sae with ff8: the love story between squal and rinoa that formed, seifer and his troop that followed him to the end, laguna liore's side story, etc. etc.
sae with ff9...too lazy to type


but legend of dragoon? I can barely recall anything!

you and I simply differ in opinion on the matter

Battletoads used to just absolutely kick my ass. Then one day I got a game genie and I figured I'd kick Battletoads' ass. WRONG!! I couldn't beat the game with unlimited lives, pulled it from my NES, and smashed the game cartridge with a hammer.

Super Empire Strikes Back on SNES. I almost completed Maximo on PS2 but I lost my save and never went back. I played about 45 minutes of Demon's Souls before I realized I was simply too old now for the pain so I shelved it. lol

Ohh yeah another I remember. Got to stage 2 or 3 then just gave up. But I was never a Star Wars fan so I'm sure I could have made it farther if I was really into it.

BattleToads or Ghosts and Ghouls were the hardest I've ever finished. Luckily, I like both games so I had no problem sinking many, many hours into finishing them when I was a kid.

The just plain hardest was Silver Surfer. I'm pretty sure that game is impossible to finish the game. IIRC one hit by an enemy or a wall (which were really hard to distinguish from the background) and you're dead. So much for his Power Cosmic. Apparently being able to manipulate the energy of the universe doesn't protect you from the inherent deadly nature of touching a wall at slow speeds.
