Day one of Ferien, gaming
Well, I never thought I'd feel vaguely glad that dastardly morrocan pick-pockets stole my Nikon digicam, but now Dad went and bought me a new Sony one and well, um. *shifty eyes* it's so sexy for an inanimate object...♥
Also got to buy some new PS2 games and thus decided to spend the afternoon testing 'em out and trying the one's that Johann foisted off on me.
DDS2 jap. version:
Didn't go far with it, I admit to buying it only to check out the opening sequence and the beginning that as a rule in RPGs is chock-full o' cutscenes anyhow. Looks fab and I am loving the fight music- definately something to listen to repeatedly whilst leveling up~! :D
Lucifer's Call:
Bought my own copy, as Johann wanted his back so bad after I kept gushing about it(HAH). Waffled 'round Ginza a bit and merged some of my monsters. Still kept Shikigami though, 'cause he/she/it's my darrrrling paper-cutout thingie~ ♥. Got an Inugami out of merging some (insertnameIforgotalreadyarghhere)- it's this long floating white ghost doggie demon that is elongnated like a dachshund from hell, and it to is awesome and shall be staying on my party forever barring any unexpected occurences~!(PLUS IT LIKE BREATHES FIRE. AND BITES YOU)
Star Ocean (more to the title here? dunno):
Pretty opening graphics, but uh failed to grab me in the first half hour, so: BORING. And I hate the main chara's girl childhood friend AKA future Love Interest and that's never a good sign. Shall ask Jo if it gets exponentially better later and is worth another go...
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
Oh man, it burrrrns to say this but OH SHIT I UTTERLY BOMBED THE GAME. And at the first mission and on Very Easy Mode to boot. ;________;. Where to start? How bout me making Snake crawl off a cliff whilst testing the controls in the first minutes of the game? Or getting eaten by crocodiles because I walked headfirst into a swamp? Or how I can't find anything EVER and end up doing stupid things like accidentally standing up right in front of the guards armed with AK-47s? Y HELO THAR indeed~~~ And since I am unable to use the controls correctly I couldn't even knife the fucker, rarrgh. Fell of a bridge a few times too. Achhh -.-;; (BUT ONE THING I CAN DO IS KILL SNAKES FOR FOOD- DEATH BY ARMY BOOT MUTHAFUCKAAS >:D)
Am now reading through various net walkthroughs in hopes of gaining valuable knowledge one how to sneak past those damn soviet bastards...
...and well, reading what this dude has to say about VE makes me feel so much better D:
"* Very Easy * I must say that this is very, very easy. Guards can't hear
much of anything, they are nearly blind, they die easily, there is far less
of them, and they are quite unintelligent. The bosses pretty much fall under
the same category. They take a lot of damage from you and do little to you.
If you leave an area with the alarm hooting it will be turned off when you
enter another. Cautions and alerts last for a very short time. This
difficulty is not difficult at all."
