Anyone else having this problem? I've been having a lot of fanboy freakouts (not public or physical so other people could hear/see them, but in my head) aboutthis little title:

I am actually quite sick of it. Hearing all about it. I just want it to "Just go the Hell away!". At least, until Sept. 29,then I can hear all about it because I will be playing it anyway. I'm sick of hearing about the gameplay, the awesome story, everything!

I'm most worried about my patience, wikipedia has the story up, all of it. Every last little tidbit. It's so tempting, I went on there to research the mulitplayer (what? GS hasn't said anything about it) and BAM! There's a whole computer monitor's worth of text on the story there. Not cool! I already spoiled the last boss fight. Which, as I expected, made me go into a fanboy orgasm. I'll spoil if for you too, if you wish...

***SPOILER***

Isn't that awesome? I can't wait to play it!

I need this game before I attack Square's development team. Watch, it'll turn into another Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Delayed twice before I get it. When will it come out then? March. Just like Brawl. Then FFXIII would be coming out in April, and Square would say, "Screw 'em, Americans." and delay that to Christmas 2010. And even worse, Europe will get FFXIII in November 2009. Why do I assume that? It's my Square Enix apocalypse people. Worst-case senario righthere. Even though Europe will be getting FFXIII around the same time as us, I'm sure they're gonna pull the release dateup. I just know it, evil Brits >.>

Hi! I decided it's about time I tell you what's up with my gaming.

Xbox 360-

Rock Band 2- I'm not sure if I even have to inclue this because I am STILL PLAYING IT LIKE I DID THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT. I don't know what it is about this game, but it's simply fantastic. Also, Pepsi has a promotion going on right now, under pepsi caps you can find codes to enter on Pepsi.com for free Rock Band 2 song downloads. I've entered 4 codes and gotten 4 songs already! I was confused, however, when I saw "Run to the Hills-Original Version" up for download. It was included in the original Rock Band (Which I have formerly owned for the Wii) so I guessed it was just updated for the drum solos. Nonetheless I love the song so I downloaded it, and guess what? It's the exact same thing! Not that I'm complaining, I'm glad to have the song back, but I wonder if Harmonix will keep releasing songs from the first game to the Rock Band 2 download store. I miss "Ballroom Blitz", "Welcome Home", and "Enter Sandman".

Blue Dragon- Freaking. Primitive. Cube. I gave up after beating that red-dragon-fire-creature-thing that had a really CHEAP move called"Crimson Blood Rain"that would not only damage your party members greatly but also inflict EVERY STATUS EFFECT IMAGINABLE. I got to the warp device so I could easily go back to where I started, but I went back to the past to look at those activated acient machines and already defeated 3 optional bosses. Golden Skull Reaper(That battle took no skill at all), Land Shark C(Close call!), and Ghost Man-Eating Plant(Shu's Copreal saved my life!)

Castle Crashers- No real update here. I got a new achievement. Whoo...

Castlevania:SOTN- Why is this game so hard? So PUNISHINGLY hard?

PS2

Okami- Right about to dive into this. I need to beat Blue Dragon first...

FFXII- YES I have NOT given up yet! NEVER! I love the story too much! And I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY love the action involved! Those quickening cutscenes never get old! (Oh, and btw TwilightSoldier, I got a 30 quickening chain the other day, I HAD to beat Cid somehow, although reading the guide made me realize it was overkill)

.Hack//Infection- I'm not even sure I want to start this. Why? You can't get any of the other games now, and I didn't even get the anime disc that was supposed to be included when I bought it used. I'll keep it for a "rainy day", butI really don't want to start on it. I might though. It seems interesting enough.

DS

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence- The name's stupid, yes. Deadly Silence. But did anyone else notice it's just another acronym for DS? Seriously, the title screen even says, "Resident Evil-DS". Anyway, it's a remake of the original and it's one of the best games I have ever played. I love the classic feel (for once) and it's really hard when you play as Chris. Rebirth mode is also fun, because it allows for DS implements to be added to the game. Overall it's very nicely put togther, especially for a handheld. For those of you who are wondering- I just beat Yawn for the second time. DID I MENTION I'M STUCK??

TWEWY- I should give up, but I REALLY want those secret reports! I also want those ultimate pins, like Excalibur.

Pokemon Diamond- I've been battling my friend fora while, she's pretty good...beat me once. But I beat her twice. She wants yet ANOTHER rematch. I guess she will have to meet the wrath of my Metagross again (It's really well bred. The only pokemon I took the time to EV train).

--SUMMER GAMING PLAN--

I AM FINALLY GETTING MY JOB BACK! You know what that means...

NEW GAMES!!!

I'm getting my paycheck next week, just in time for me to be taking an accross-state trip to a teen leadership and drug prevention conference in Monmouth, Illinois. So there are a few things I would like to do with that money before I leave...

THE ULTIMATE DS GAME OVERLOAD

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

Final Fantasy IV

Chrono Trigger

Knights in the Nightmare

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

-Aren't I stupid? I'm blowing my whole Paycheck on this overhaul. But the summer games drought sucks. And I'm waiting for KH:358/2 days to come out. That's been getting a lot of good previews and Famitsu gave it a 36/40 (ORfour 9/10's). Did anyone else notice these are all RPG's? I think I might get sick of them. I'm also thinking of replacing Knights in the Nightmare in favor of paying off my pre-order for 358/2 days. We'll have to see. That way I also wouldn't have to pay such high tax...

Did I mention my county has the highest tax rate IN THE COUNTRY? Sonic0 knows my pain, 10% of ALL purchases is the tax! 10%! You understand I'm planning on buying these games new (I just love opening the package...DON'T JUDGE ME!!!) so it would come out to $175.00 WITHOUT tax. It would be a $17.50 tax! THAT'S JUST FREAKING INSANE! I could buy a whole other used game with that cash. Which is leading me to think that I'll have to forget about opening that package for a bit...but it's just sooo awesome to open it...

Oh well. Enough on my rant/gloating about my gaming. See ya!

I haven't actually beaten the game yet but I did get to disc 2 and I think I'm about a third of the way through, or maybe a half, I really don't know XD. But anyway, un-completed aside, I really have come to love this game. I really think that Gamespot should have given it a better score, an 8.0 . And here's why.

The game isn't as visually stunning as one might hope, but man is it colorful! I love it when games move away from being realistic and switch to using colors, it enhances the mood of the game. I love how all of the spells look on-screen, and a lot of the enemies are really nice to look at.

The character development is fantastic. I have come to really love the characters in the game. Some of the voice acting is stodgy (for example, I can't stand it when Jiro talks, but I love the character) but in other cases it is really good (Zola's voice fits the character perfectly, as does Marumaro's). I got infuriated when Nene kidnapped Kluke and then put a BOMB COLLAR on the girl, that's just a cruel thing to do to a girl. I am also intirgued at the relationships between the characters in the group, but I won't spoil those. It's this kind of character development every game should have, but sadlyit is absent in many recent games *cough* Halo *cough*.

The gameplay gets better and better as I move along, but I am really surprised at how I haven't seen a game over screen yet! Seriously, I've had a couple close calls that I bounced back from with a little strategy, but I never actually had all of my party members knocked out! Now I know I should be happy about this considering my constant trouble with every Final Fantasy game in exsistence, but I really wish I had to replay some boss battles every now and then. Overall though, the difficulty curve is nice but I do wish a little steeper. Then again, it could be I fight WAY too many enemies (I take advantage of the encounter circle) . I also like the mini-games you get to break up the gameplay, they are usually a lot of fun.

Lastly, I love the use of cutscenes, it makes the game's story feel like a movie.

Well, those are my impressions on the game. I really do love it. I wish gamespot gave it a better score.

In other news, I got a new mic for my 360, considering my last two failed and broke. This time I bought the official Microsoft one, which I'm sure will explode when I'm using it. XD
