Legend of Dragoon + PS2 = Wuh oh
This last week I've decided to replay an old favorite of mine, Legend of Dragoon. Everything was going smoothly up until I was standing around on the world map in front of Lohan. I was so glad because it's a commerce town, which in gamer speak, means shinies for me. Yay, shinies! Sign me up, cap'n, let's go! And I waited and waited and waited for the town to load...
About three minutes later I realized the black screen of doom was never going to go away -- furthermore, I hadn't saved beforehand either. Now, I know that logically this can only be because I'm playing it on my PS2 instead of my PSX, but I just couldn't be bothered to unpack the thing for one game. So I suck it up and keep right on goin'. Everything goes fine for a long time until I get to the Gigantos lair area.
I try to enter the Gigantos village and again, the game promptly freezes and again, I hadn't saved beforehand. My eye twitches a little, but y'know joke's on me for not thinking to save, right? I got in a random battle ten minutes later and the thing freezes immediately afterwards. dgjfhd I cannot believe my own patience sometimes.
It froze about five times in the village of the Gigantos altogether -- twice directly after a boss battle and a lengthy cutscene. Can you believe that? The best part of it all though was my mom noting how annoyed I was and asking me, "Why don't you just play it on your PSX?"
I replied, "Because then the PS2 wins, mom."
