[Fandom] Decisions!

[celestineangel]

I am considering splurging a little and getting myself one of the games from my Amazon video game wishlist.Suggestions? I've really got my eye on Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded (though I'd have to reclaim the DS from my mom, and I still haven't finished 358/2 Days... then there's Dissidia for the PSP, and I only have two games (KH: Birth by Sleep and

I would suggest Duodecim, if you have to have one of the games in that series (Dissidia). It's got a slightly larger cast (I think they upped the roster by about 8 characters?), and they have apparently fixed some of the real glaring flaws that the first game had in the battle system. Sadly, though, it doesn't fix the glaring flaw of the Enix design philosophy that has long since pervaded the whole company. =\

Oooooo, looks nice, thanks!

What's the glaring flaw of Enix design philosophy?

It's that it can be summed up in two statements:
"Make the player suffer. The further into the game they are, the greater the suffering. We'll give them some easy enemies for the first fifth of the game, but the four-fifths after that should be filled with PAIN!"
"Anyone who doesn't spend at least a few hours, per character, grinding for levels deserves to be kicked back and forth like a soccer ball."

The sad thing is that I wish I was just kidding. I was using a level 100 Squall on a level 81 manikin of ExDeath the other day. You'd think my being 19 levels above him would make a real difference in how easy the fight is, right? Not really! I restarted that fight about ten times, and still got out of there minus a couple thousand HP (and since healing is a slightly rare thing, with a possible maximum of about 10K, HP is precious in this game

O.O See icon.

See, and one of the things that's always kind of annoyed me about the KH series is sort of the opposite. It's always annoyed me that some of the earlier levels can have boss fights that are extremely difficult, but Ansem/Xenmas is never very hard. For me, anyway.

(Of course, I'm on my expert mode replay of KH2, and I'm in the final area where if you die, you're screwed, and it isn't even Xenmas that's the problem, it's the STUPID DRAGON THING WITH THE LAZER-SHOOTING SNOWFLAKES WHAT THE HELL.)

I'd suggest Okamiden. Because it's sickeningly adorable. <3

Unfortunately, I've already bought my games. Yes, gameS, with an S. XD THEY WERE LESS THAN $40 TOGETHER!! XD XD

But, I will check it out and put it on my wish list for possible future splurging if I think I'll like it!
