Ghostlight Software's twitter account says the Devil Survivor Overclocked patch is complete and just needs to be submitted to Nintendo.

Hopefully this goes though, then I may get this game.

I've actually managed to get through the game without encountering the summon bug. Mainly by not changing my demons mid-battle.

I do keep getting a bug in the Auction House however. If there's an 'accident' purchase then it crashes out the whole game 9/10 times.

For anyone interested, Radiant Historia is on PlayAsia for a fairly nice price.

Secret gem of last generation!

Plus you now get free shipping from Play-Asia if you spend over $25.

Is it worth playing The Witcher before the Witcher 2? I definitely want to play Witcher 2, and on the one hand I feel a bit OCD about going into it without playing the first one, but on the other hand, I have so many games to play already, I'm concerned that if I play the first one and merely find it 'okay', then it might put me off the 2nd game.

Yeah that bug is pretty much unavoidable, and whilst you can just not change demon in battle it'll obviously prove pretty difficult for a lot of players. Bit of a shame it launched with these crippling bugs, especially after we waited so long but at least there is a patch coming. I bought it on launch but heard about the bugs so I haven't started it yet.

Rainbow moon. Cracking little game. Battle mechanics are simple but require decent level of strategy. Quests are simplistic and characters are barely defined but it's polished and addictive.

Just pre-ordered Persona 4 Arena from GAME.
Before you cry out that it's GAME, it was only 14p more than ShopTo, and GAME give you the soundtrack on Vinyl (exclusive to them) ontop of all the other limited edition stuff.

Trails in the Sky is on offer on the PSN currently for £11.99/£10.79. For anyone after after a fantastic RPG on the go, I can't recommend this enough.

[Dark Ritual]

Any suggestions for good JRPG's on PC?

[Osito]

Loads using emulators

I'd recommend Half-Minute Hero. Haven't played much of it, but it has impressed me so far.

[Mr.Jeff]

YS Oath in Felghana's a good starting point (here is a [url=youtu.be/70uoUV4RUXs]video[/url] showing how fun boss fights are*)and if that sits well, try out Ys Origins. Also by the smae company is Xanadu Next which has an englisg patch floating around and has a nice Diablo-esque vibe.

Generally though, JRPG and PC don't normally mix unless you're after games which feature sex scenes floating around.

Ghostlight trying to get Devil Survivor 2 released in Europe:

I can see why they have gone with this method, but regardless I just hope DS2 won't be bug riddden like DSO was.

[Lagamorph]

Why are they bothering with the vanilla DS2 when there's an Overclocked version in the works?

[Rubix]

Heard this question on the IGN podcast: If you had a choice one of the below games that never excised what would you pick

MGS
Final Fantasy VII
Zelda OOT
Chrono Trigger

[MrKirov]

Zelda OTT without a doubt, the very definition of overated for me.

[Exodist]

I think all of those games are fantastic, but it'd have to be MGS for me.

[Rubix]

Zelda OTT without a doubt, the very definition of overated for me.

[Lagamorph]

Zelda OTT without a doubt, the very definition of overated for me.

Wind Waker is far more overated than OOT

[Rubix]

Chrono Trigger for me by the way. Amazing game but did nothing got the genres going forward

[Pacman]

OOT
