GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Feb 11, 2009

It's been nearly 2 months since I've posted a blog, I guess I just don't have much to say really. It is definitely not for lack of playing games. In January, I put nearly 90 hours into Persona 4. It was my first SMT game and I really enjoyed it. I haven't gotten the true ending yet, but I plan to at some point. Since then I started up Persona 3 FES, but it soon got the back burner due to me starting Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

Disgaea has all the quirky humor you could want in a game, and its game play is addictive to boot. On the surface it seems like a simple game, but it's easy to get sidetracked knowing there are other worlds out there to venture into besides the main storyline. Lovable characters and a humorous storyline definitely make it a series worth playing. I believe I'm a little over halfway through it.

When Resistance 2 came out I played a lot of co-op, but never got around to completing the campaign. Amid all these RPG's I've been playing, I wanted something a bit shorter and faster paced. While looking forward to Killzone 2, I thought I would try to brush up on my FPS skills (which are greatly lacking) and fire up Resistance 2. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. I just started playing yesterday and I got through a third to halfway through the game, which is really long considering my short attention span with shooters. The controls just feel right to me, and I could actually see myself playing the campaign again, which is also something I would never say about a shooter before. It's not what I would call amazing, but it's a lot of fun.

I've picked up a few games as usual.

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia
Resident Evil 4 Wii
Valkyria Chronicles

I also upgraded my PS3's HDD to 320GB

I'm going to upgrade my hard drive soon, all those installs are taking up valuable space.

Valkyria Chronicles is a great game, one of the best RPG I've played in a long time, A little hint though. When you get to chapter seven consult GameFAQs...trust me...

I'm also looking to borrow Resistance 2 from my cousin soon so I might be able to play with you

Oh, we all go through phases where we make zero blogs >_> Congrats on the HDD upgrade, damn that's big

"Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia" Prepare to laugh and cringe a lot while reading and listening to the dialogs in that game

pj - i had hardly any space left, it was time. i think VC might be next on the agenda, but i'm not sure. let me know when you get R2. i haven't played it online in a month. i still need to level up some of my classes.

hungry - yeah, the game looked funny.

eek, a blog.
Posted Feb 11, 2009 10:46 am PT
ha. i did it.

Wow! You are getting into Disgaea huh? I myself still have to beat the first one and open the 2nd one I have sitting on my shelve.
Posted Feb 11, 2009 11:26 am PT
Damn, I seriously need Persona 4. I've heard nothing but good about it!
Haha, that's a nice Disgaea-based list, you must be in strategy heaven right now! Disgaea 2 and 3 are on my March-April to get-list, hopefully I won't be broke then.
Resistance is fun, I'm still going to get Killzone 2 rather than R2 though. Have you considered getting it?

comrade - i am, i actually bought the 3rd one first, but i like to play things in order for the most part.

havq - yeah, i've played a lot of rpgs lately... and i said in the post i was getting kz2. i already have the preorder paid off.

I know how that goes with not having much to write anymore

Have fun with Vaklyria Chronicles. One of my most wanted games for the PS3.
Posted Feb 11, 2009 1:31 pm PT
s0njas0n - Yep I am the same way, that's why I never even opened Disgaea 2. I made myself continue the first one and see it to the end before I would be able to get the chance to play the 2nd.

It is so good to see a blog from you. Now maybe VixDiesel will be inspired to post one also. I need to think about upgrading my hard drive.
Posted Feb 11, 2009 2:07 pm PT
I updated my drive to 250 GB over a year ago, and it's great not having to worry about running out of room for a while, especially with all the installs popping up.

Most of those RPG's you picked up are great, too.

Think of single player as needed training for going online.

320 GB for the PS3? Jimminy Crickets! What would you do with all that space?
Posted Feb 11, 2009 6:53 pm PT
You must play VC first. I hear it is a great game. Can you possibly fill that much data?
Posted Feb 11, 2009 7:38 pm PT
Whoa! Awesome games man.
Posted Feb 11, 2009 9:55 pm PT
You did? Oh, that's right! Sorry, I missed that one!

I have all the Disgaea games (except the third, has to be released here, but when it does, I'm going to buy it right away) and I really want to start with the first but I know it takes so much time. A friend of mine is a real Disgaea nut, and he said he can easily play more than 100 hours on one of these games. I'm playing Uncharted now on my PS3 but Valkyria Chronicles is next on my PS 3 list to play.
I know the feeling of not blogging for a long time. Partially it's because I prefer gaming more than blogging about it but what am I doing then on this site?
Posted Feb 12, 2009 2:21 am PT
I'm planning on playing through persona 3, FES and 4 sooner or later. 90 hours, Aweeessommmme.
Posted Feb 14, 2009 6:23 am PT
nice how full is the 320gb now?
Posted Feb 16, 2009 6:12 pm PT
rich - lol, not too bad. probably about 60-70gb used. i'll fill it up a little bit more today.

Posted Mar 4, 2009 5:36 am PT
