After saving up for a good while, I finally got enough and bought a 60 gb pro, and a handful of used games. Still need to get xbox live set up, though for now I've been playing a whole lot of tales of vesperia(In 1080p!). Still got lots of games to buy once I have more money, but for now, I'm a happy man.
I've decided to only rate games I've "finished". I'm not talking like 100% complete, but at least having seen the credits roll, and in the case of music games and such, I'll rate em if I think I've played enough. I have a bunch of games I haven't beat, and some I've barely touched, so I want to start finishing more of them and give a full rating. How's that for excitement!?
I've been playing a bunch of rogue galaxy lately,since I kinda lost interest in devil may cry 2 at a point, though I'll probably finish it after rogue galaxy(who knows when, it's rather long.) For my ds I've kinda been switching between layton and hatsworth, and I'll say that henry hatsworth seems pretty damn long. Can be rather hard as well, I can see myself getting very frustrated further on...so we'll see how long that lasts. It can be pretty fun to sit down with layton and crank out a few puzzles, which can also be rather hard. I kinda want a new ds rpg to grind threw though... No idea how I'm going to beat all these games with my short attention span. AAAAAAAH!
edit: bleh, screw it.
Pretty bored, so I'll write up a delightful blog post about what I've been playing!
Well first off, I pretty much finished dragon quest monster joker. (saw the credits at least) It was pretty fun and addicting to explore the lands and try to make the biggest, coolest looking monsters. There's only a light story element to give you a path to proceed on when you so choose, so I finished that, and just started grinding levels in hope of raising my rank in the online leader boards. I realized that it was basically a lost cause when I found out my big scary monsters could get easily abused by low rank, tiny monsters. Them leader boards are all about the stats, which I don't find very exciting. So yeah, fun game if you like grinding and fusing monsters.
I've got quite a lot of ds games I haven't beat, so I'm trying to finish some of those up, starting with professor layton! Couldn't hurt to puzzle my brain a bit, and finish it off since there's a sequel coming up. Enough of the exciting portable game talk, time for extra-exciting console stuff!
So...I'm pretty broke and lazy, (though I'm trying to get a 360) so my ps2 tends to get a lot of love still. I picked up that devil may cry bundle thing that comes with the 3 games, since I only had the first one. I never actually finished it, and it was in an ugly blank case, so I felt it was worth picking up. Almost finished the first one now, and boy I suck at it. I tried playing it on normal at first. I found myself dying a whole lot, and bosses took lots of patience to take down, which I don't have much of. I like to hit the devil trigger and hit them in the face a bunch till they die, so easy automatic has done me good! I'm a big nub, but I want to blast through the 3 games and have fun doing it. GOOD STUFF!
Now... my pc is pretty old, and can't run today's game too well, but I decided to give battleforge a shot, with the whole "free version". Been running it on low quality, since any higher and it lagged like a beast. I'm a bit of an rts fan, went through a big wc3 phase, and this is very similar. The big difference is the whole card aspect, which works pretty well. I went through all the beginner story missions, and it was pretty fun. The only thing is that if you want better cards, you have to buy "battleforge points" which I don't really want to do. Cool game, though I'm probably done with it now since the multiplayer doesn't interest me much.
So there ya have it.
(ps. I wrote this while listening to ice cube, so GANGSTA RAP MADE ME DO IT!)
