[quote name='darthbudge']You should go play golf. COD4 will still be there for you later.
Golf is alot of fun, I wish I still had Clubs that were my size, and the money to go play some Golf.[/QUOTE]Well, I gotta invite people to play CoD4, so that's why I must be there. Plus, we always need more players, so it's important I show up (It's not like Warhawk where we can come close to filling up a server).
[quote name='daroga']Man, I'm horrible at golf. But you should've gone, MK. Family > Games[/QUOTE]I suck at golf myself. It varies, sometimes I play games, sometimes I do stuff with family. If I want to play golf, I normally stick to Hot Shots Golf. It frustrates my Dad because he wanted me to big into golf like him (all my Dad does is play Golf during his free time with kids), and all I want to do is stay inside and play video games.
[quote name='SL4IN']Golf: played it for 4 years in high school and then got burned out.
[/QUOTE]I use to play a bit more, but eventually gave up since I never got good, despite all the lessons I had.

boring confusing battle system

I disagree. I thought Xenosaga had one of the best storylines ever in a series, and it's extremely emotional. The first Episode isn't suppose to be complete since it was intended to be a six part series. It has the deepest character development I've ever seen in a series (first RPG I grew deeply attached to every character, since I grew to knew them all throughout the series). I found the battles in Episode I to be awesome (Episode II's battles weren't too good though), once you upgraded your tech attacks to do them as a 2nd attack. I found Xenosaga to have one of the more enjoyable battle systems since I love the button presses. Soundtrack rocked. Tons of memorable cutscenes which I re-watch over and over again with my Xenosaga Episode I DVD. It was my favorite game last gen until Kingdom Hearts II/Xenosaga Episode III came around.
I wrote an old second opinion review on it (my friend gave it a really high score, but I still did 2nd opinion:
When I saw that a prequel to Xenogears was in development for the PS2, I just knew that I had to buy it. I finally got my hands on this game during mid May when the priced dropped. I was hearing people complaining about how Xenosaga Episode 1 had some very long cut-scenes but that didn’t bother me once bit since I enjoy them a lot. I really enjoyed watching the long cutscenes since it brought a whole new level up depth to the game. I’ll admit that a few holes were left in the story but those questions should be solved in the future Xenosaga games. The sci-fi look of Xenosaga is fantastic and I loved the feeling of being an outer space. Sometimes I could swear that I was watching Star Trek. The characters were very lovable to me and I found myself getting attached to them in a big way. I liked most of the characters personalities but I couldn’t really understand Ziggy too much. The gameplay of Xenosaga was very enjoyable to me, especially the battle system. I liked the idea of the Tech Attacks. Learning new Tech Attacks and building them up was a lot of fun. I didn’t like the ether attacks all that much since they didn’t do much damage, other than Shion’s summons. I liked the length of the dungeons and I thought the design of them was very unique. I kind of wished there were more places to explore in a way. Getting emails throughout the game were enjoyable and I loved getting the advertisements for other Namco game and playing though the several many games was enjoyable too. The only problem I had with the gameplay is the loading since it would take a while when I changed I’d open the status screen or leave a room. The graphics in Xenosaga really amazed me and I was amazed at how good the characters looked. Some of the backgrounds were kind of bland but I thought they suit the game well anyway. As far as the sound in Xenosaga, there isn’t much of it. What I heard from the music was very good, but there were too many times there would be no audio. It was a little strange at first but I got use to it. I’d prefer for Xenosaga different background music in different places and to have a different theme for the boss battle. Overall, Xenosaga Episode 1 was a fantastic game and I’m really upset with myself for not getting it sooner. The fantastic story, characters, graphics, battle system, and other interesting gameplay elements kept for hooked for 46 hours. Xenosaga is definitely the best PS2 game I’ve ever played, so far, and I can’t wait to play Episode 2. I still think about KOS-MOS all the time.
That was un-edited though, so it has errors (and I wrote it in 2003).
