Your relationship has intensified

At this point, I've played P4 for about 9 hours total, and I don't know that I've ever immediately loved a game so much. There was FFX waaaaaaaaaay back in the day, but the first time I popped it in I wanted to return it. I tried again a few days later and things went up from there, but my initial, gut reaction was "DO NOT WANT :(", unfortunately. Then there was Kingdom Hearts, but even with that it took a while. I played through till Atlantica and then left it for a few months. Picked it back up almost at random one night, and then, well, beat it (and KH2) within a week and a half. The point there being that I fell absolutely in love with the game.

But I have never, never felt so happy to be playing a game right from the beginning as I do with P4. It doesn't even matter that I've read the wiki for it, because at the time I didn't think I'd ever play it in my life, so I don't remember any of it. I'm now terrified of being spoiled, which has led to me reading f!s with a growing sense of apprehension each night. I think it's just that I can tell this is going to be something special, and I don't want any aspect of it ruined.

Hmm, I'm just looking over at my shelf, and realizing that I instantly loved Okami too. But that was more about the gorgeous graphics and the innovative gameplay and the novelty than about the game itself, if that makes any sense. P4 is something else entirely, and I could not be happier.

In other, much sadder news, I start UPOP tomorrow. Ugh, just kill me right now. There are few things in this world I despise more than corporate whoredom. I mean, yes, I know you have to ~play the game~, but that doesn't mean I have to appreciate it in any way. Actually, the only good thing I can see coming out of this week is that I won't have to pay for food during the day. I don't like spending money.

EDIT: Uhhhhhhhh, totally forgot about the SAG Awards. Not that we get TNT, but still. Anyway, yay for Hugh!!!! Also for Mad Men and Sean Penn. Getting mildly sick of hearing about Slumdog and Heathus, but whatevs. Only 28 days till we know for sure.

games, whining, awards show, upop, persona 4
