I am an avid fan of comics and as a medium, they are as viable as novels, movies, television, or computer games. They have some of the best, most exciting, most heartfelt stories I have ever read, and many of them are even in the superhero genre.

and may I add


Seriously my dutch teacher is always yapping on about how comicbooks serve their purpous in literature, too, and are all but juvenile... but the consensus about that teacher is that he is an old obese man whose kidneys and liver are rapidly racing towards the finish-line.

The inevitable loss of Dogmeat was heartbreaking.

He might be an old crazy man, but he's right. It's a medium like any other and has the right to be considered so. You wouldn't say a novel was silly because it was a novel, or say a movie is stupid because it's on the silver screen, would you?

I will not surrender or relent on this. :Titan:

However for a game that actually touched me it would have to be (despite not being that old) Unreal 2: The Awakening, the ending in that actually made me cry

I agree.

But after thinking about this a bit more. I would have to say Grandia 2 had the most effect on me. The story was excellent, the battle system was very realistic, but what I enjoyed the most of this was that you could dodge the monsters (well most of them) and get on with the story. You can't do this in many games, which can leave large gaps between the story which, quite frankly sucks.

I know I've already posted about it here, and mentioned it in other places..........but I urge you, if you can find Suikoden 2 (both it and the original Suikoden are rather hard to come by now), play it. It's probably the greatest RPG ever made for a console, and the storyline is incredible. Anyone who's a fan of RPGs, especially console style RPGs, doesn't know what they're missing until they play this game........it's that much better than most everything else to have come out for a console.

[Iron_Scarecrow]

You failed to mention which console it is on.

Suikoden has a NES and PSX version.
Suikoden II is for PSX.

and it looks like there's Suikoden 3 and 4 for PS2.
