Okay, I'll definitely do it then!

My roommate just got Bloodborne. Since he's been very clear that I wouldn't be allowed to touch the game until he's done, it looks like it's time to finally start SMT: Nocturne! We'll both be playing games notorious for their brutality... Let's see how this turns out!

He's played for an hour so far. He's died 4 times. Let's see how I fair!

Ugh. So I'm running into some... technical difficulties that I need to sort out before playing. I'll keep everyone updated.

Did something happen with your copy of the game or is the PS2 acting up?

I can't quote since I'm on mobile, but yes keep the skill focus. I think might is another one to look out for. Build your MC physical and have your demons take care of magic. You can only have 8 skills at a time, and once you forget a skill, it's gone forever. 

This is funny I have been watching a play through of this on youtube for the past 3 days because I was wanting to play this game again! And you are going on HARD this game was freaking HARD on normal. But as most have said stick with physical for your character it is the best bet. After this go play the first Shadow Hearts lol.

In a way, yes, my PS2 is acting up.

And people claim it's the best console of all time

I owned three and all of them died on me. Send it for repairs and see if it's the reading thingy!

I'll do what I can. It was working before. -_-

If you have access to a  PS3, you can download it from the PSN store. All the SMT games from the PS2 are up there.
