I like putting points into things. It's way better than picking GENERIC FIGHTER CLASS and watching his STRENGTH rise by a fixed number every level. I think the correct name for this is a "point buy" system. Unfortunately, I can't find many games where I'm allowed to do this.

Off the top of my head, I can come up with Diablo, Dragon Quest 8, and Final Fantasy Tactics. Help me find some more.

MMORPGs don't count. I am also excluding Xenosaga, because I refuse to understand how that point allocation system works.

I knew you would be the only one to post in this thread.

Everyone else is on that Xat thing.

Acid · **Reply #3 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:34:28 AM

That's what friends are for.

ESIV: Oblivion and Fallout 3. No surprise; same company.

Sonic Chronicles.

Sub Tank · **Reply #5 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:38:35 AM

Didn't know about that in Sonic Chronicles. Although I'm still a little uneasy about playing recent Sonic games.

Acid · **Reply #6 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:40:19 AM

Couldn't you do that in Secret of Mana 2... too?

At least you can customize each characters class.

Sub Tank · **Reply #7 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:41:34 AM

Yeah, actually, you could. I forgot about that one.

Acid · **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:45:01 AM

Also Sword of Mana, the GBA remake of Mystic Quest GB.

But I don't recommend that unless you really liked the original.

Sub Tank · **Reply #9 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:46:16 AM

I liked the music. Does that count?

EDIT: OH WAIT FOR THE GB. Then no.

Oh, I almost forgot:

There's the Boktai/Bokura no Taiyou series, starting from the second game you can level up your stats, but there's only like 3 or 4 of them (vitality, energy, strength, speed).

Acid · **Reply #12 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:50:24 AM

Boktai was cool though.

Like Metal Gear meets Caslevania.

Sub Tank · **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:50:42 AM

I'm adding Dungeon Siege to the list. That game was pretty cool, but I need something I haven't played.

Is this a game I can read? Usually the "Something no Something" games don't speak the same language as I do.

EDIT: Oh, you mean LUNAR KNIGHTS. I will never get those 5 seconds back. Good games though.

Acid · **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:51:46 AM

Not Lunar Knights.

Boktai 1-3, for GBA.

Sub Tank · **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:53:04 AM

Well, it's part of the same series, right?

Weren't the GBA games all Japanese?

Solar · **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:54:18 AM

3 out of 4 games were localized, with the 3rd one having a patch available online, so yes. I only added the Japanese name because Konami thought that they could fool gamers by changing the name in the last game to Lunar Knights to increase sales.

Just a small warning, playing an original copy of the first 3 games requires you to be under that big bright shining ball in the sky for important parts of the game.

Acid · **Reply #17 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:54:46 AM

Only Bokta 3, and that can be patched.

Besides, you'll NEED the patches to get beyond that Sunlight gimmick.

Solar · **Reply #18 on:** March 10, 2009, 03:55:37 AM

Unless you're playing the second one and don't mind not doing some of the Undead dungeons.

AAAAAAAAA

KOTOR

and it appears I'm too late for bro fists...

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2009, 04:02:04 AM

So what happens if Night and Taiyo brofist?

Does that mean it's dawn or dusk?

Or do they fight each other for time of day supremacy?

Acid · **Reply #22 on:** March 10, 2009, 04:02:12 AM

I still gotta try KOTOR one day.

Sub Tank · **Reply #23 on:** March 10, 2009, 04:02:48 AM

Me too. I've been meaning to play that for a long time.

Acid · **Reply #24 on:** March 10, 2009, 04:10:15 AM

I also wanna follow your advice and play at least one MMORPG.
