So I'm replaying Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and eventually I make it to the Matador fight. Anyone who's played the game knows what a pain in the ass this guy is. And after fighting him for a while he's basically managed to wipe out my entire party except for the hero...even all my reserve demons are dead. So I saw "screw it" and just have the hero attack. And then...the Matador dies. Don't you just love game moments like that?
The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo and incidentally, the dungeon I'm in now is in Kabukicho. I also think the Marunouchi area is part of the world map, but I probably won't get there until much later. |

Yeah, I'll probably beat the two Half-Life games sometime. The multiplayer is fun enough, so adding a story to it (and a good one at that, from what I hear) should make it pretty crazy.
And MGS3.. I loved that game. I was always awful at hiding in any of the Metal Gear Solid games, so the lack of radar didn't affect me. I usually just ended up running through the jungle, getting caught, and shooting everything. I was thinking about getting that game when it came out. Is it worth it? Then again, I don't know if it'd be a good idea for me to get another RPG... |

I borrowed the DS game Phoenix Wright for my DS lite from a friend. I haven't yet played it actually. I really never play games anymore. Okay I had a few rounds of CZ the last few days. :-P

SMT is the best console RPG series ever. If you do buy it, don't give up on it quickly. There is an extreme difficulty/learning curve for new players of the series. You might want to start with the Digital Devil Saga games first to ease yourself into the SMT gameplay style.

The only SMT games released in America that I can remember are:
SMT3: Nocturne Revelations - Persona Persona 2: Eternal Punishment Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army Digital Devil Saga There's a couple Pokemon-esque Game Boy games as well. It's a shame Atlus never released the PSX/GBA ports of SMT, SMTII, SMT If... and Persona 2: Innocent Sin.

You can. Most of the titles are stand alone stories anyway so all you would miss is a few vague references. You can fully enjoy most of them. Here are the ones that connect:
Persona => Persona 2: IS => Persona 2: Eternal Punishment - Playing IS isn't vital even though it's really good. All the important stuff is covered in EP. Digital Devil Saga => DDS2 SMT => SMT2
