Well, having bought and totally completed Jump Ultimate Stars, I have been wondering about the Bleach games. Having heard that they are good is one thing, being developed by Treasure (Ikaruga ftw!) is what really sparked my interest. So, I ask? How different/similar are they when compared to the Jump games? Does the 2nd Bleach make the first redundant or not?
I still do. Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls and Final Fantasy V. That's because I bought them recently (Final Fantasy I & II was really hard to find.) I own a gba SP but, ever since I got the DS, I stopped using it. Nowdays, I use it only as a controller for Crystal Chronicles and Four Swords. As for the screen leaving black edges around, yes it is kinda annoying, but no way in Hell I carry both a DS and gba with me!
I might not have Pokemon, but I have Final Fantasy III, all right. And tell you what; While I love it, I also find that it can be a real pain as a game. Not being able to save inside dungeons coupled with some brutal bosses have given me quite some headaches, all right. So, go for Pokemon, it's easier and more suitable for your age. Also, Pokemon will last you longer with it's Catch 'em all idea, with it's online play and it's connectivity, when it is available outside of Japan, with the Wii Pokemon. But, from what I have heard and seen it plays pretty much like previous pokemon games, so if you have played them, you'll more than probably know what to expect.
Heroes of Might & Magic III. Except for being really difficult, it must have been really magic to force me playing from evening to the next midday in one occasion.
Well, I made just one order. One very successful order though: Jump Ultimate Stars. I ordered 2 weeks ago and it indeed came within their 5-10 days prediction. Don't know exactly how many days it took though. Oh, and the shipping is damn cheap: just 2.5$!
Deep down inside, every pc gamer who has bought a computer within the last year is a graphics whore. This might sound harsh but considering the amount of money spent on one's computer, it is not difficult to see why. A good computer costs about a 1000 dollars or euros (you name it). Since these are no money found on your local money tree, you definitely want your computer to be worthy of this ridiculous amount of money you just gave. You definitely want to see things in high res, high textures, aa and af, etc. and that's where the obssession grows. Of course, we always have the exceptions, but I'm not really one of them. Yes, I am not a complete graphics whore, but I can't tolerate an ugly game. I consider technologies like HDR insignificant and I rarely pay too much attention to the computer draining shadows except when the shadows were really necessary. Most of my obsession is with jagged edges, something which was horribly apparent on the pre-128 bit console era, the frame-rate, which is simply intolerable when in low levels and finally, lack of artistic graphics. While jagged edges are an extinct species on the pcs thanks to the high resolutions and the aa technology, that cannot be said about the last two factors. Frame rate will ALWAYS be an issue (looks at Supreme Commander's way) and the lack of artistic graphics can also be noticed (looks at F.E.A.R.). So while I am not dying to necessarily see a game in 1600x1200, aax8, HDR, and soft shadows, I always want a good overall picture accompanied by a similarly good frame-rate. After all, a good picture is as sweet as a chocolate for your eyes! :) :P
