Nothing really interesting to blog,but for the sake of filling up my blog and making it less dead decided to fill it up.
Wed or isit? lost track of time liao
-Went out with Yong Ming,Yong Liang and Anders.Wah,really beri long never see them liao,then some of them changed so much but some still remain the same.
I can't think of anything le,but i shall blog about the game i play in an attempt to make it a long post.
1)Ar Tonelico
Yup,as you can see from the picture,its for the ps2 console.For an 2D game,i would say it has done quite well.For an RPG game,story is KING and a vital point of enjoyment for players,and the game has quite a nice storyline,as well as good character development.The gameplay is quite basic like what you would expect as a normal turn-based RPG game.However,i would say the most redeeming quality of Ar tonelico 2 is its excellent background music.This game also makes use of a fictional language known as hymmos which is based on the emotions of the singer.http://conlang.wikia.com/wiki/Conlang:Hymmnos .Hymmnos apparemtly is the combination of Japanese,German and Sanskrit.
However,this game does have a flaw.It has a major glitch near the end of the game,and if you do not know how to pass the glitch,you are basically stuck cause its hangs on you.
I would recommend this to anyone who is also into the Shin Megami Tensei Persona in particular. Think of this game as a LOT like Persona 3 and 4, as it's incredibly similar, though the differences are the airs they give off. Whereas Persona 3 and 4 are dark stories with creating demons and using almost like a dating sim system to it with social links, and being bloody, Ar Tonelico is a much softer and delicate story with a lot of the same ideas.
In Hymmnos,some foreign lanuguage,i can't make out the gibberish words they are singing but who cares,i like the tune of the song.
2)Star Ocean 2:Till the End of Time
Star Ocean 2:Till the end of time really fits its name well.Its really drove me till the end of my santity.Well,every min i play this game,i would lose a sheer bit of my IQ.Basically,to describe this game,its like a crap/**** in a nicely wrapped present box.The game starts in a Grantier resort hotel that was huge and aesthetically stunning.This led me to think how marvelous the game was and how i would surely enjoy playing it but hopes are always deceiving.
On the surface, Star Ocean 3 is a good game. Good graphics for a PS2 game,3D, decent battle system, a healthy dose of voice-acting, some flashy attacks.The graphics are really good,almost near to final fantasy style eg:FF12.However,for an RPG game,i would say this has the worst story i ever came across.Ths story is not only stale and boring,but its takes too long to get into the main story with a lame plot twist.Moreover,this game has stupid AI,yup beri stupid that you have to rack your brains to keep them and yourself alive and the game battle systems is a bit...HP reaches zero=death,as per every RPG game,but for this game MP reaches zero also death.This combo with the stupid AI=instant death cause they keep spamming their mp till they die.Well,i shall stop here since this game is not worth talking about.
3)Phantasy Star Portable
Ok this has to be one of the top few games,together with Monster Hunter for the Psp console.This game utilizes the PSP's graphical power phenomenally, everything looks brilliant on the small screen, and the characters/weapons/skills are extremely well detailed and have very smooth animations.The Gameplay is quite good with about 20+ weapons usable from both close or ranged combat.Of course,wad do you expect from a game originally a MMORPG.I would admit it is fun playing alone,but with a group or more people to play with you just doubles the fun.The only flaw of this game is its lack of storyline,but this isn't the main point since all Phantasy Star games focus more on dungeon crawling and combat/mission rather than story.So if you are looking for a nice story,go play an RPG or something esle.
Since this and Monster Hunter are similar,i shall compare them.Monster Hunter requires a lot of time grinding for weapons and armor and to kill the monster,which sometimes i admit pisses me off.However,is PS:P,it requires no grinding.Monster Hunter games also require quite a amount of time to complete a single mission,be it difficult or not.However,some quests in PS:P only requires a short amount of time to complete,therefore you can play it on the train without problems.
