What are you playing? - Sarah - 2012-07-07
Bought Tomba! from the PSN because it is the greatest game of all time. Finished that in a day because I've memorized every event and it's not especially long to begin with.
Playing Arkham City now. Game is fucking jam-packed with pomegranate.

[spoiler=The Legend Of Dragoon, a game I've been DYING to play since I was 5.] My god...after playing it for decades on the "Playstation Underground" Demo Disk...a nice friend of mine found the full version in his closet and gave it to me. WHY DID THEY CANCEL THE SEQUEL? Oh well, the game is split into 4 disks, all pretty hard. What I think makes the game unique is the fact is uses this timing system when attacking, while retaining old-school Final Fantasy mechanics. I can't honestly explain it well however. So far after 11 hours I'm only on Disk 2...and apparently he said there's this coding error in which I can't progress unless I don't use something. God...like KH3
DD, thankfully they patched that. So simply the story is there's this Black Dragon and some person named Lloyd, both connected to this "Dragon Campaign" that was over 11,000 years ago. The Black Dragon wants to kill this person, a "herald" who will "purify" the world, which kinda screws over the Black Dragon. Anyways, about 18 years before the game begins, the Black Dragon attacks this village in which the main character, Dartz, lives in. He is assumed to be the only survivor. (Though I briefly seen walkthroughs explaining that there was one more survivor.) Skipping ahead 18 MORE years, we find Dartz living quite peacefully until yea, Lloyd comes into the picture, blah blah blah, the Dragoons blah blah blah. I can barely remember the story and I just started yesterday. How nice. [/spoiler]

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy X and it's my first time because I never had a PS2 when I was younger. I'm doing the end game just before the final dungeon and it amazes me how people had the patience to accomplish some of the ridiculous minigames. If it wasn't for savestates, I don't think I would've been able to finish the chocobo race that has the worst movement control ever. The control in the field is so fluid compared to the minigame that it made me wonder why square-enix intended it that way for the chocobo race. I guess you can say it's a minigame within a minigame itself.
Well, next up is the dodge 200 thunder bolts in a row. My face is screaming with joy right now.

Been rocking Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance].
It's awesome. so awesome. Flowmotion makes moving around easy, and it makes combat a lot more hectic, it's saved my life more than a few times.
The story is surprisingly good so far:
Spoiler
The way that the characters from The World Ends With You are used is really cool, and Joshua is so omniscient that he's practically become a series main character. Apparently they have a homeworld of Shibuya and told Sora to come visit them one day. Shibuya in KH3? yes please.As you progress through certain cut scenes you gain "Chronicles", such as "Chronicles: Kingdom Hearts" and then "Chronicles: Birth By Sleep", they tell the entire plot of the other Kingdom Hearts Games, and they are awesome for catching up on the series and refreshing your knowledge.
The Flick Rush minigame is surprisingly fun, i'm enjoying it, and it gives access to some really rare items (such as the Deep Freeze magic spell), though i'm disappointed with the amount of Keyblades in the game so far.
I'm playing Sora as a mage with all Magic commands and Riku as a warrior with all attack commands, it keeps things interesting because you have to adapt your strategy with every Drop.
Oh, and Final Fantasy characters appear in name as the Link Portals that show up around the worlds. like Celes, Lightning, Balthier, Vaan, Firion, Squall and every other main character in the series.

Well, I know I can go back through on Normal so I intend to do that a few times to stock up on orbs and healing items as well as maxing my life and trigger. When I was younger that's how I got through DMD in DMC3. And if I ran out then I'd just go back to level 1/2 on normal/easy and grind for orbs.

You can go back to previous missions in DMC1? If not, call me a moron etc.
IN OTHER NEWS: Playing SMT: Strange Journey now that I got my emulation issues fixed. Sector Bootes hurts.

just to build up orbs.

Recently played Jurassic Park: The Game.
It was really cool, i liked the way it fit with the plot of the the film and even provided a link between the first film and the sequel in a way that i didn't expect. The scenes were fast paced and the characters were all interesting.
There were lots of HOLY pomegranate moments too, like when the T-rex showed up near the start and you had to button mash like crazy to get out of the fence you were trapped under, or when you are playing as the little girl as she tries to get around the T-rex to get to some medicine. And i literally said Holy pomegranate when i saw the guy stalking the Velociraptors rather than the other way around.
The only things i didn't like about this game was that the T-rex was used far too much. I started calling it the Deux Rex Machina by the end. And some of the commands were too fast and too complicated, to the point where you would only get 100% (and not die many times) if you had played the game before and knew what commands were coming.
...Or maybe i just have pomegranatety reflexes.
Anyway, i love how they had new dinosaurs in this game too, not just the ones shown in the film. They even introduced something more deadly than Velociraptors, which i was surprised about, because i expected the raptors to show up a lot more in the game, rather than just the third episode. They also cleared up problems people had with the film (such as the Velociraptors being too big, which was explained in the journal as being an error in their DNA)
The puzzles were mostly fun and interesting (the puzzle where you have to work out what intersection you are at by looking at blueprints for example). some weren't so great (the one with the mating calls for example).
But overall i enjoyed it immensely and the fanboy in me was really happy to get back into Jurassic Park again.
