Of Games and Whatnot

Yup. Just what the title says, I need a place where I can dump all my geeky gamer stories into.
Romancing Saga

Ok, I bashed this game before because I was so bad at it. I gave it a second chance this week, and I am proud t say that I love it now. I mean, look at all those lovely quests so many rewards and the multiple playthroughs are gold. **drool**

Besides, not all "new game pluses" of this game are played exactly the same. XD I've got nothing but praise for this game at the moment.

And so sorry for the disappearance, I was out with school hahaha well I'm back and headed to college!! **dances around**

It's Been a While Hasn't It?

Yes it has. **nods** Apparently I've gotten a new badge here at gamespot, the love thy neighbor badge thing.

"Perhaps these individuals, in actuality, live in college dorm rooms, parents' basements, dingy apartments, or other such facilities devoid of actual, physical neighbors. Like, you know, the ones who come over to ask to "borrow" a cup of sugar or to use your lawnmower? Those worthless freeloaders, I swear... Oh, never mind."

Heh, clever eh? I don't really mind, I just use this site as a place to check out games before actually purchasing them, people just add me and I add them in return.

So anyways, gamewise, I think I managed to finish GrimGrimoire, a surprisingly good game. VanillaWare is becoming my fave game designing company. I really did love the plot of GrimGrimoire, it makes for an excellent break from reality; it's not a Harry Potter ripoff... honestly, not everything with witches and wizards in a magic school is a Harry Potter ripoff :c

So... currently I'm playing Xenosaga I. The cutscenes are too long and they drag, the story isn't interesting, the gameplay is... well... good enough. COSMOS is the only character worth playing for When I'm done with this... I've got nothing else to play D:

Kya has a very disappointing ending

I played and finished Kya for less than 30 hours, and I knew that the story wasn't that great as well. I played it because of the level design, the puzzles and all that. But it really wouldn't hurt if Atari placed a pretty good ending to conclude things and not to piss the player off. Bad story. Blech. I captured all 260 wolfens and all I get is a crappy ending?! This game was a complete waste of time for meeeeeeeee

I knew I should've finished it with 259 wolfens and just watch the so-called-real-bad-ending. It might've been better.

Kya: Dark Lineage

I've mention in past blogs that I'm playing Kya at the moment. That game's old for me, I think I've had it a year ago. I didn't even know why I bothered to buy it, when I did pop it into the console, I thought it was pretty neat. The fighting was crap though, there was a lot of combos that Kya could do but the system's weak. It lags a lot and the Wolfens charge at you so fast that the combos are impossible to do. I'm stuck using the Triangle-triangle-triangle combo, and the R2-square-triangle ones.

This'll be the third time that I'll be playing the game, the first two were duds. I think I only got as far as 52% and I deleted the file. I can't really remember the reason why I didn't bother finishing the game. Was it the crap voice-acting? Or was it just too hard for me back then? Hahaha honestly, the voice-acting was crap. The story was weird for me too, the characters lacked appeal so if you're looking for story I don't think this is the best game to buy.

With flaws like that, I'm pretty amazed that I still found the game generally appealing. The levels are amazing, the puzzles are good enough to keep you thinking, but not too hard that you'd just throw the controller away. I do hope I get to finish this. :3

Persona 3 TOYS!!!

I know I just finised the game but I'm still suffering from the obsession. Even playing Kya can't turn me away from it. So while trying to sate my hunger for Persona I decided to browse around some sites and look for Persona wallpaper for my desktop... and I came across this Unofficial Japanese DDS Series Website

Gosh I wish I knew how to read Japanese D:

Anyway, I spotted these really awesome toys that would do quite well in my room...

Finished Persona 3!!! **possible spoilers included!**

Whoooooo!!! Nothing compares to the joy I feel after playing 110+ hours of Persona 3 I am finally done!!! Honestly I've been through a damn lot, the character development is amazing! I really feel connected with all of them (hahah drama), especially Mitsuru, Aigis, and my main charrie who I promptly named Rocul Celesti. Bwahahaha. I was most impressed by Aigis's character development, she's a robot! C'mon! I didn't expect her to change in the first place! Her voice is insanely monotonous, but during the course of the game she's starting to sound so human. She develops these emotions in her voice that wasn't even there in the first place. It was just amazing. XD

I'm not going to talk about how the blunders I faced fighting Nyx but huwaw. The ending!!! It kinda saddens me that I couldn't max ALL the social links, especially the fact that I never got a proper girlfriend in the game D: I was too busy chasing all the girls that I failed to complete the link in at least one... darn D:

I still have a save file that has 24 days remaining until the last battle, so I guess I could play that over and over again without training and see all the maxed out links of all the girls. Especially Mitsuru and Yukari. Nyahahaha. Na-bitin talaga ako... kaka-inis!!!

Now let's talk about the ending, I'm not going to lie about how touchy I felt when watching it. Honestly, I thought I was going to cry... especialy the part when I was facing Death all alone and everyone else was cheering for me. Drama. So much drama. Ahahaha. I thought my main character was going to die... and when he emerged from Tartarus and everyone else was smiling, and Aigis (the really cute robot) was crying... it was crazy. It was touching. I won't lie. :')

I thought the ending was crap at the moment since I knew that everyone will forget what will happened to them, their battles, everything they all have been through... (I did the crap ending by the way, and I swear... that was really a BAD ending) Then Aigis, being a robot (I don't know how many times I have to repeat this) is the only one who can actually remember. Mitsuru's cutscene with her speech was lovely too. The ending of the game did so much justice. 110 hours of gameplay was really all worth it. What really touched me most was Aigis crying. I don't know why. But I felt like crying too... D: I am such a sissy.

The part where Aigis and my character was lying out on the rooftop, my character resting his head on Aigis' legs (which strick me as odd since they must be a bit hard with her being a robot and all) and Aigis talking about how she would protect him, or sacrifice everything for him because it's what she truly wants and all that. It was just soooo sweet, Aigis was crying, and my character was just wiping the tears off her face (although, I did wish it was Mitsuru and not Aigis).

Then something pissed me off. My CD was crap (don't bother asking why) and the ending skipped out on me!!! The last cutscene!!!!! RAAAAARGH!!! So right now I'm on YouTube watching the part that I missed out on. Thank God for YouTUbe!!!

Click here if you wanna watch it as well although, it wouldn't affect you that much if you haven't finished the game. Hahahaha

So apparently.... a lot of people claim that the main guy dies on Aigis' lap... so heartwrenching.... I know Mitsuru isn't his main love interest... It's probably Yukari or Aigis, but Aigis makes for a really swell character. Nice voice acting too. I can't wait for Persona FES and play Episode Aigis XD

Aigis Aigis Aigis... beautiful bittersweet ending...KUDOS TO ATLUS!!! Makers of such original games XD
