I haven’t posted in a couple of days, which is unusual for me. It’s not because I haven’t been playing any games but rather because I’m playing a few at the same time but haven’t gotten far enough to post about any of them.
Suikoden II – At the 7 hour mark, just got Shu from Radat and beat Solon Jhee outside my new castle. I realized there’s nothing wrong with the game. It’s me – I’m not in the mood for a sit-down RPG. There’s a reason why I’ve shifted the majority of my gaming to handhelds, and it’s because I’m getting increasingly too lazy to play games sitting up. That’s not to say I’m giving up on Suikoden II, but I don’t see myself going much faster than my current pace of 2-3 hours a week.
Iron Master: The Legendary Blacksmith – My DS betrayed me! I may have mentioned this before, but it has a cracked right hinge that I managed to patch together with a hideous but effective combination of epoxy and superglue. A few days ago that mixture finally came apart and the crack opened up again. The broken hinge doesn’t actually affect gameplay, but it bugs the hell out of me and ruins my concentration, so all DS gaming is on hold until I can repair the hinge again.
Aquarian Age – A “gamebook”/visual novel I’ve been reading on the DS. It’s as generic as they come (lazy, perverted boy with dead parents, living with female childhood friend, blah blah.) but I’ve taken a shine to the characters, so I read a few “pages” from time to time. Will continue once my DS is back to normal.
Popolocrois – Started this two or three days ago. I like the cutesy designs and the fast pace of movement. Apart from that it’s not a very remarkable game, but admittedly I haven’t played very long.
Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner – Sounds like the title of a Saturday morning cartoon. Started this one yesterday morning. Kind of liking it. For various reasons I don’t enjoy Pokemon itself any more (they’re all the same game, I don’t like the new mons, etc etc.), but I’m not opposed to battle mechanics that involve capturing, training and fighting with monsters. Speaking of which, I need to start saving for Unchainblades Exxiv. Oww, my credit card.
And there you have my current gaming list going into August. I’ve got one or two others on my mind as well, but first things first.
Popolocrois has very adorable graphics its so cute eahueah , i have some difficults with Iron Master >_<, have you already played suikoden from DS? i liked very much nice story 🙂
Suikoden Tierkreis? Yeah, I played it a while ago. Iron Master just takes practice, and the game allows you to practice each move any time you want, before you do the real thing.
