I decided to start up a new game of Final Fantasy X because I realized that I haven't touched it in six years and that feels weird for some reason.

ADDENDUM: Now I remembered why I never bother with Blitzball. I went into the one game you have to play thinking that I might be able to pull off a victory. I lost 2-0.

Last time I played through that early this past spring, I managed to shut the Goers out 2-0. Got a lucky shot off with one of the wingmen, and when the second half started, I rushed with Tidus and Jecht-Shot the entire team in to oblivion.

Blitzball kind of comes down to a simple pattern of Pass to Tidus -> Jecht Shot -> Repeat. It's perfectly doable, but still not any damn fun. It's like playing a damned menu-based RPG.

...

Oh, right. Well, anyway, still dumb.

It's like playing a worse menu-based RPG.

It's almost like Square thought people would be intimidated by the new actually strategic battle system so they put in a more traditional battle system where you win by spamming your strongest attack as a minigame.

I'm enjoying it so far, but I keep getting this nagging feeling that I should be playing and having more fun with Final Fantasy X-2. Seriously.

I'm replaying Chrono Trigger! Yesterday I got up to bit where you first meet Frog, and today I'm up to the part where you reach Zeal. I think I might be able to beat it tomorrow, if everything goes well.

McDohl · « **Reply #2527 on:** December 13, 2009, 06:53:08 AM »

That's the nice thing about Chrono Trigger. It's short, sweet and to the point.

Walker · « **Reply #2528 on:** December 13, 2009, 09:17:47 AM »

I never actually finished Chrono Trigger. I should do that one of these days.

So let me get this straight:

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition: Director's Cut is...still fucking rated M?

So can anyone explain to me why the fuck they cut all that shit out in the FIRST place? Other than to make me download a 300MB goddamn patch?

Downloaded Castle of Magic for the DSi.
Kiddy platformer. And I'm not saying it because the graphics or the story or anything like that.
No. It is a kiddy platformer because they designed it for small little children.
Easy, floaty, and reminds me of the old Disney platformers. Not that that's a bad thing. I find myself actually enjoying it, despite the ease of play. It allows me more time to just check out the game and enjoy my surroundings. (Plus the confidence boost is nice)
What set's it apart, though, is the camera gimmick. Every now and then, there is a photobooth. You go inside and take a picture of a color with the camera. You get a power-up depending on the color. Pretty neat.
My favorite power-up is "FAT KID POWER-UP" It turns Wizzy into a fat kid. You have to keep feeding him or you lose the power-up. You can't jump or move fast, but you are invincible and break things easily.
Plus, you are a fat kid.

Maybe they got a re-evaluation and there were less prudes on the board?

Who knows, because the uncensored patch was always around 1 megabyte if I remember correctly.

Ha! So it turns out I couldn't beat the game yesterday. And I don't think I'll beat it today, either. I'm taking a break because the Ozzie-Flea-Slash trio beat my ass. I didn't know that fight was so hard, guys!

I think I always took out Flea, first. On the other hand, I might have just antipode3/luminaire'd them all to death.

I just played the demo for Dante's Inferno and holy shit I actually want this game now because it is possibly the funniest thing I have ever played

Niku · « **Reply #2536 on:** December 16, 2009, 03:35:44 PM »

seriously guys to drink from a healing fountain dante rips out its spine

Niku · « **Reply #2537 on:** December 16, 2009, 03:36:18 PM »

also you control a minotaur demon by stabbing it in the brain with the scythe that you stole from death and also cut death in half with

in the first boss battle

Miss Cat Ears · « **Reply #2538 on:** December 16, 2009, 04:17:39 PM »

that is awesome now I have two games for which I want to buy a ps3

Büge · « **Reply #2539 on:** December 16, 2009, 05:50:32 PM »

Is.. is it possible?

There is a game that could outdo God of War 2 in ridiculousness? I mean, Dante's Inferno gets an automatic bonus for being based on a literary work.... Aside from Dante's impetus for traveling into Hell, it seems sorta accurate.
