I see, in your sig, that you're playing DQ VIII.

How are you liking it?

I loved it!

It's definitely up there - although, not quite as high up there as Shadow Hearts: Covenant (my very favorite PS2 game) - at the very top of my list of PS2 games that I'd love to see get PS4 ports with some HD + trophies treatments.

My bad.

Invisible Inc's not an Atlus game - it's by Klei.

Yup, it's a Klei game, though they do a great job with their games as well.  I haven't played it myself - I'm terrible at stealth games - but I've heard it's fun

I love it! It's such a great game. I just got to Pickham last night, and I really enjoy the story, combat, music and overall atmosphere. It's just got a really nice charm and polish to it.

Were you thinking about the 3DS port when it eventually comes over here? Might not be ideal on a handheld, and certainly not an HD remake, but it does have that extra content that might be interesting.

I'm finally done the last of my exams for my degree! No more of those stupid things for me!

Yay! Nice job man I finished this past week, graduation is next Sunday 
Though it's back to graduate school in September for me so more exams in my future 

For some reason my graduation ceremony is in more than a month from now. They seem late this year at my uni.

There's exams in graduate school? Not gonna lie, I really don't know how graduate school works. I though you just did research for you thesis, defended your thesis and that was it. I'm going to have to look into that stuff soon since I'll need more education of some kind to get a decent job in my field with the way the economy is now here.

What about the CD-i library?  Oh wait...

I got super lucky with exams and had them all done wicked early, so that's why the actual ceremony is so far away. It's fine with me: I'm taking the extra time to study for my nursing board exams, which will be in June.

And mhm! I have exams just like in undergrad. It might be different depending on the program, but for a PhD I also have special written and oral examinations that come before becoming a candidate and beginning my dissertation. Those come in my second year in the program.

Ya' know, D-Sis, I'm not all that at stealth games myself -and- tbqh, they're not even really one of my favorite genres, but - it's the turn-based aspect and the (S)RPG elements plus, of course, the graphical style and tone of the game that sold me on it.  I'll be sure to let you know more about it as I get into it 

I don't think that I've played/am familiar with anything else by Klei.  What else have you played and liked by them?

@ TELLY

Honestly, I wasn't even aware of a 3DS DQ VIII remake.

Then again, I've pretty much given up on trying to play handheld games 1-handed, because:

a).  It's just too damned uncomfortable and inconvenient, and

b).  I've got more than enough PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and VitaTv games to last me...indefinitely.

That said, I've got a pristine 3DS-XL and a PSP 3000 (each with < 5 hours of use on them) and a GameBoy that I'd be pretty highly motivated to sell and/or trade for more 1-handed-friendly/console type games; if anyone's interested.

Yikes, I thought I was done with exams after my undergrad. I guess that shows how well I have things planned out. Oh well, I'm happy enough where I am now and whatever happens, happens.

And of course, congrats to you too! School can be a real pain, but it's fulfilling in a strange way (at least for me).

Where the hell did you go?  Mexico?  Wait.  Don't answer that.

Anyone ever eaten at a place called The CookOut? One of them just opened up near me. It's fast food, but pretty good. The stuff actually has a cook out taste, and the sides they offer are basically what entrees would be anywhere else. Plus they also have a ton of milkshake flavors.

Do they bring all the boys to the yard?

*sigh* I miss milkshakes.

Wait...do you miss yard milkshakes or real milkshakes?
