Croik catches up to 1999!

This weekend I sat down and played Silent Hill 2 from start to finish all at once, beating it for the first time ever. I've actually owned it for years, but always got stuck at the apartment building (yup, that early on). So this time TK was my walkthrough buddy. Which may have killed the experience a little (that and not playing it alone, at night, with all the lights out and headphones on - as the walkthrough would have suggested), as in the end I didn't find it as scary as I was hoping to. But it wasn't bad.

( More thoughts about a game everyone else played years ago, whoops )

I also played the Dissidia demo, and I have to say I wasn't terribly impressed with that either. It seemed like I spent most of every fight just trying to close the distance between me and my enemy. The number of different attacks you can do seem really limited as well. Has anyone played the Japanese version? Is it really worth it? Because after all this time the only characters in the game I can bring myself to give a shit about are Zidane, Terra, Kefka, and Gabranth, so if fanservice is all the game has to offer I'll probably skip it.
