Hey old GS friends, How have you been? I hope very well in my lack of activity. Ill just say that i had to leave for awhile because of life reasons by now I'm back for the most part. Ive been to some of your blogs but I'm a bit disappointed to see that a lot of my other friends havent returned yet if they are going to at all Well anyways onto what I have done in my time of absence.

Gaming news: I purchased, played, and beat Disgeaa 3, Mass Effect and star ocean 4. Disgaea like its prequels was good as far as gameplay goes but as for storyline it was one of the worst i was shocked at how bad it was, I hope the next disgaea will be much better in story then this one Mass effect was recommended by a friend here at gs. I don't remember who told me to get it but I'm glad i did. It was surprisingly good despite it not being in a genre i usually would play. Now Star Ocean was just far out outrages. and by that i mean absolutely horrible. I don't know what happened but it was full of cliches and stereotypes. I was disappointed at how generic the whole game was. If any of you have played any of these games, feedback on the games would be great.

Now my best purchase of this month would have to be RE5, man i loved this game. It was so great i made a review of it, read it if you get the chance.

Resident Evil 5 Review

Rant: "The pursuit of perfection" the word perfection is an odd one, seemingly its a paradox of itself that everyone wishes to obtain. What is it in that word we wish to achieve? The word exist ironically enough but nothing has ever reached that status, its a word of little meaning. When ever we are doing something that we really enjoy or love to do a common saying is risen, we want to perfect this or that but how can we do such a thing when it is impossible. My guess on this is that the only perfection achievable in this world is the perfection of imperfection.

I know a really random rant, i felt like putting in a tongue twister to get my mind moving again, bored of course

Zen quote: "Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, as do these seasons repeat, so do our actions"

Thanks for reading

Welcome back I've noticed the same with a few users on my list.
I've been busy purchasing games my self, I've bought 10 games alone this month. I won't mention them unless your interested.
RE5 was sold out when I went there to try to buy it. It's gonna be awhile before I can buy another game, so I hope that it will be that one when I do buy one.

Weird...to see that some of your friends haven't came back, but im still around Zen. Heh, not all great games have a good story, but the gameplay is all that matters, Ill look at the review later on. Random rant lol, but quote is true, it's agreeable can't hate that . But....we all have wishes...but we all have the potentail to fulfill anything...Seasons....change beauty is everywhere around us, the seasons are a good example...guess until next blog Zen!

It is really great to have you back again. I still need to play more of RE I just haven't done it yet.
Posted Mar 20, 2009 3:51 pm PT
i might try RE5 one day
Posted Mar 20, 2009 4:32 pm PT
I looking forward to get my hands on RE5...good review you got there
Lol i got a bit confused in some parts of that rant...but thats normal because English isnt my mother language so...
I guess this year, there will only be summer and winter...rly sometimes its raining and freezing, and sometimes its hot like hell

Well Tev, you've got one friend who has happened to return at the same time as yourself. So what have you been up to? I personally was looking for a career, and I got one better that I ever could have hoped for. I'll further expand on this in my blog.

I'm not sure who suggested ME to you either, but I'm glad you liked it, that is one of my favorites. I recommended your RE5 review, I can't wait to find a friend to play through the co-op in that game. Haha, that is quite the random quote. I believe that one doesn't need to achieve perfection. As long as one is constantly striving to improve themselves, they will achieve their goals . Take it EZ, Tev.

@2ndWonder : Hey thanks, i havent seen you around in quite sometime, i actually thought you left the site aswell 10 games is pretty good for one month, you dont have to name them all, i would only like to here the ones you like the best thus far RE5 is an excellent game, i do hope you get around to playing it if you do.

@Star-Killer : Thanks and i agree, both games were pretty good in my opinion and come to think of it, i think it was you who recommend Mass Effect to me so thanks for thats aswell.

@Thug2Wasteland : lol, everything will work out Thug I know its sad but its a good thing you still stuck around I have to disagree with you on that. Gameplay is a bit more important then story but a good game will always be better with a riveting story. Hope you enjoy my review whenever you do look at it. I know it was a random rant, bored out of my mind so i came up with that. You sure do have a weird way of expressing things thug, very optimistic. cya around Thug

@Ani_manga200 : I was just as surprised as you are, i didnt expect it to turn out like that when Star Ocean 3 was so good

@Primo295 : Thanks and i will, Im now playing RE5 on veteran mode yea a shocker Star ocean was so bad, the 3rd was amazing and thanks

@Darth-Caedus : Thanks 3x Im so sorry i made your head explode it was an honest mistake

@Colmillios : I know you will enjoy RE5, full of action and drama, short though sadly enough

@murat8 : if so i hope that day is very soon, if you arent to sure you could just rent it and save alot of money, its not that long of a game, you should be able to beat it in 2-3 sit downs

@Maikedi : Thank you, dont worry though, even if english isnt your first language im sure others here in my blog didnt completely get it yeah the weather is acting kinda funny this year huh, its to be expected though, i remember reading somewhere about the ozone effecting weather habits.

@DraconigenaDeus : Holy crap its Jeff, wow I remember you making a blog awhile back saying something about taking a month break i think and it seems you were gone way longer then that Good to hear from you again, looking forward to reading your blog.

I was quite surprised at how much i really Enjoyed Mass Effect. I really didnt think i would like it but it was only 7 dollars so i didnt have much to lose. hey if you need someone to play RE5 with on the PS3 i would be glad to help Very good Jeff, you were the first to say that so far. perfection isnt needed, just improvement of imperfection. Cya around Jeff

That's because I usually only post in one topic outside of unions. But I'm here pretty much everyday. Well I've only played three of them so far and I'm enjoying all three, those are: Tomb Raider Underworld, Saints Row 2 and the new Call of Duty. I'm working on getting it, but I might hold off, because I'd like to play co-op with a friend and he doesn't know when he will be buying it.
Posted Mar 21, 2009 11:32 am PT
2ndWonder: Out of the list so far, i really want to play Saints Row 2, Ill wait til the price drop a little more first though. I understand, co-op is way more fun then going alone. I co-oped with my brother and it was a blast, much more fun then the AI.
Posted Mar 21, 2009 11:44 am PT
ya if i get it co-op is the only way im playing it i dont like bot partners
Posted Mar 21, 2009 12:00 pm PT
It's been a while, man, glad to have you back here, I've been gone for a bit myself. I haven't played Star Ocean or Disgaea, but I have Mass Effect here borrowed from a friend, and it's awesome. I'll have to finish it, only about 3/4 hours in. I'll read the review after this comment is posted.

Perfection really is a pardox. Sometimes I've been a perfectionist myself, but after I finish doing something, I realize it's never going to be of a perfect quality. I guess we all get carried away soemtimes!
Posted Mar 22, 2009 8:26 am PT
murat8: thats the only way to go in that game anyways

@Zeromus1337 : Nice to hear from you again Zero, It wont be much longer until you beat mass Effect either. Its a good game but it doesnt take too long to finish even with sidequest. I was quite the opposite then, I never tried to be perfect at anything, I usually do the bare minimal required and nothing more unless its something i really enjoy doing like gaming

*gasps* New blog from teh Zen?
RE5 is cool. Shiva's fun to play with.
Posted Mar 23, 2009 3:29 pm PT
Katsuri: I know, a shocker huh? I agree, i only played Shiva through out the entire game, my brother played chris
Posted Mar 23, 2009 4:09 pm PT
I wanted to wait for the price to drop to, but I had to have it again. (I had it on ps3, but mine is broke, so I sold my copy.) I bet co-op is a blast, my friend got it just so we could play co-op, but we've yet to play it, because we've been busy with CoD.
Posted Mar 23, 2009 7:09 pm PT
2ndWonder: that actually sucks if you once already had it and it so happens your PS3 broke good thing though on the other hand that your friend has a copy of it. have fun 2ndwonder
Posted Mar 24, 2009 12:55 pm PT
Great review as I stated in the first comment.
Posted Mar 26, 2009 6:27 pm PT
Suicidal-Fear: thank you again
Posted Mar 27, 2009 2:51 pm PT
You should blog more often!
Shiva is awesome, though I miss playing as Leon from RE4
Posted Apr 3, 2009 2:37 pm PT
Katsuri: I know but whats really cool is that you post in my blogs way after i posted them, people usually post and forget.
Posted Apr 3, 2009 2:52 pm PT
Gwa!? I didn't even know you were back. I should check up on my friends more often.

I have never played a Disggea game in my life. I've heard about them a lot though. Same goes for the Star Ocean games. I hear good things from the ones that were on the Sega. Mass Effect...I didn't like. My brother really liked it, but I have tried on multiple occasions to sit down and play the game but I just can't get into the story. There's a bit too much talking in that game for me as well.
Without sounding negative, I did beat and really like Resident Evil 5. I think Game Spot gave it a fair score. It was fun, but I wish they would have modernized the control scheme. Those games have been drifting toward Action-Horror ever since the 4th one came out and the limitations they put on your character seem a bit ridiculous at this point. The next one will probably be much more like Gears of War-like.
My brother, on the other hand, didn't share my liking of the game though...cause he sold it for GTA: Chinatown Wars. Which is a good game too, but I think I enjoyed RE5 more. Guess I'll borrow it from a friend then.
Nice to hear from you after so long, man.
Posted Apr 5, 2009 3:17 pm PT
@KokutenNagaki : to be honest, i thought you completely stopped using this site when i returned from my break.

The disgaea series has always had a great battle system but as for story, never has it taken too much of a serious approach. I dont know if you wold like the series but hey i guess it couldnt hurt to try it. I have only played Star Ocean 3 before the fourth which was way better in my opinion. They did talk alot in Mass Effect, i guess its more fun to play then watch if you ask me.

Really, i rather enjoyed the controls the way they were, it added to the pace of the game. I wouldnt be surprise though if they did change the controls around for the next installment. As much as i wanted to play chinatown, i cannot for the simple fact of me not having a DS so ill just take your word for it.

Nice hearing from an old friend as well, Nagaki-kun
Posted Apr 6, 2009 3:03 pm PT
HA HA HA HA HA HA HEY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted Apr 17, 2009 1:22 pm PT
BTW we never had time to finish our little fight
Posted Apr 17, 2009 1:27 pm PT
@uknownhero160 : hey old friend, didnt expect to see you again

battle......? for it to be a battle, you would have had to be close to my level of skill
Posted Apr 18, 2009 11:53 am PT
You didn't expect to see me again but I always appear stronger than ever (ps. nice to see you too)
Posted Apr 18, 2009 1:07 pm PT
And yet you still have the good ol' blog Not that I mind a lot. As long as you're around ^_^
Posted Apr 28, 2009 5:08 pm PT
I wish I have the time to be on like I use to but it seems hard enough to be active here at all. Glad to know you're back although that may not be true since this blog was posted March 19th. Hopefully everybody will return once summer hits. The game you purchased is solid gold especially Mass Effect which I enjoyed when I played it. Seeing as how much you liked RE5, I'll read the review and give you my judge.

My brain is rattling from that rant dude . The quote is remarkable. I haven't thought about that before. Alright, now on to your review... *CoUgHrEcOmMeNdEdCoUgH* XD
Posted Apr 29, 2009 3:18 pm PT
uknownhero160: hmmm we will see how strong you have gotten in my absence -Katsuri-: thank you, you are one of my true friends here.

Legend002: So you have returned, or maybe to be more exact, momentarily. I have also been having trouble sticking around i try to make a appearance every week though this blog is old, i think its about time i update this page...............

nice to see all of you again if any of you happen to read this message.
