bleh... I want to write a new blog post for a long time but i just cant think something good to say... so here it is, a blog with nothing.

as a side note I'm happy about our friend trystkl1826 because she is married, congratulations again : )

ok so this blog became a congrats blog lol. i cant think anything to write now...

lets praise Stree Fighter Alpha 3 Max while we are talking. Its damn addictive... I beat Sagat long ago ( İ mentioned that in my previous blog ) and beat the game, but it was hard. There are many modes to play but World Tour is really amazing among them. You can level up your character and then you can use this leveled character in other modes which is great. But one thing I noticed is your character gets stat points randomly I think. Even I tried to beat all enemies with "Perfect" later i noticed i couldnt max all stats. There are different routes in World map so you can get different ISM Pluses ( power up ? ) in different paths but you can get only one in an area. So you should select your path before you enter battles. I didnt know this at first with my first character but thanks to gamespot I realized I cant get all ISM+ so I wanted to make perfect character. But while my first character's all stats except attack maxed, my second character with all Perfect Victories ( until lvl32 ( max lvl ), there is no exp after lvl32 so I didnt beat Gokuentou with perfect, i tried it like 100 times ) and great ISM+ power ups couldnt reach max stats, so my first character is still my favorite, Ken Masters ( though my second try was again Ken, my favorite fighting character since I watched Street Fighter II V ( not 5, its letter V ) anime 5 years ago ). then I tried Evil Ryu and I couldnt reach max stats again and different stats again. So even I get Perfect Victories, I get different stat points, I couldnt figure it out how I can get max stats. Anyway, its really addictive game and its great. I've played it more than any Tekken game because generally i'm done after i unlock all characters in tekken or other games like that. Or I get bored at start if a fighting game is slow, like new MK games. So far Naruto Ultimate Hero 3 is the fastest fighting game I've ever played and its really fun. I'll try Bleach Blade Battlers 2nd too I hope.

also, I'm playing the recommendations that were given by gamespotters here in my topic. So far I've played Beyond Good & Evil, Castlevania Curse of Darkness, Gauntlet Seven Sorrows.

Beyond Good & Evil would be better with different visuals because I find it look like a platformer game but it has more things to do, so its like I want simplicity of platformers but i see depth and it turns me off. but its a good game nevertheless, I'll start it again.

Curse of Darkness is great game imo. I'm just sad I didnt get it because of GS review. Yes It has monotonous level design and enemy design but its battle system is really deep and enjoyable. Knuckle is my favorite weapon because its fast and cool, also its air combo is the best. The game is long, thats the reason it becomes monotonous. How ? The structure is similar in all areas even the textures are different. And enemies are distinguished by levels, so their appearences are the same. Lvl 9 skeleton and lvl 26 skeleton exactly look same. It seems Konami was lazier than Square that gives different color and names to different level enemies. Castlevania series always had great musics so CoD is no exception also its graphics are great too. LoI's graphics were like amateur rendering though they were clean and sharp enough, but CoD is really different and good. I'll beat this game soon I hope but I still find new things even I played 13+ hours.

Gauntlet Seven Sorrows is hack&slash with leveling, just like Lord of the Rings games which I find good. However, GSS starts with only 2-hit main attack, 2-hit block smash attack, 1 throw attack, 1 projectile attack ( X, square, triangle, circle ), one powerful attack which uses alot of mana and one special attack which uses a little mana, and these attacks cant be tied in a combo, so i think its beginning is boring with few attacks and I couldnt see many attacks to open with stat points, just a few again. But the game's graphics are good, the environment amazed me. I mean it was like Mummy-GoW settings with LotR style graphics. I really liked it. at the beginning, you are in a place like pyramids and everything is falling apart. i liked the settings, so the game, but I couldnt play it much yet. I heard its short like, 4 hours which is good point for me, so I'm planning to beat it fast when I start it, in 2 days I hope.

I thank people who recommended these games.

So it turned out a gaming blog but i'm not satisfied...

I see some people are trying to get driving license. that reminds me how boring driving is even though I drive almost everyday...Its abit better with music, my favorite while driving is SotC OST so far. but still its pain...

so lets talk about abit music too ? well, I like game musics alot. I see many people here like them too. for me Chrono Cross OST is the best I've ever listened to. I've listened to alot of game musics, Square's musics are really great, and not just Final Fantasy games. Personally I dont like midi quality sound, so FF7, Chrono Trigger musics are not good no matter how nostalgic they are. Since 1998 games use mp3, so we can listen to good quality musics. Squaresoft games after 1998 had really great musics. Chrono Cross, Xenogears, FF8, FF9, Vagrant Story etc. Square had great composers but sadly people only know Nobuo Uematsu, FF composer. Chrono Cross, Xenogears had Yasunori Mitsuda as composer and CC is still the best among many games I've played. He is also in Shadow Hearts game musics too with Yoshitaka Hiroka ( ICARO and Alice are my favorites from SH OST ). Mitsuda's works are abit romantic/sad themed but excellent. However, the real genius in my opinion is Hitoshi Sakimoto ( Vagrant Story,Final Fantasy XII, Grim Grimoire, Odin Sphere ). His works never bore me and always peaceful...ah Vagrant Story, it was perfect game.

One more composer I want to talk about is Kõ Otani, Shadow of the Colossus' composer. before SotC, i didnt listen to his works in any game nor anime actually I dont think they can be as good as SotC OST. Because the game is magnificent and the musics are just fitting in this amazing game. each colossus has different aura so the music. SotC is definitely one of the best games I've ever played, its just so unique and it gives amazing feeling, just like the old games that had atmosphere instead of graphics...

graphics...damn pc requirements for those graphics. I saw Assassin's Creed is on PC but my computer is not good enough to play it. I dont care to play it on minimum requirements but they dont even let me do that. But boring games like Oblivion doesnt care, though i run it very good just without long distance look but the game is boring... its better than Morrowind but still...bleh...well i know elder scrolls series is fps rpg ( i know it since the second, daggerfall ) but in my opinion fps rpgs are boring if they continue to become like this...i dont know its not appealing to me, it was fun until escaped the dungeon but then puff. maybe i didnt like fps fighting with swords since you see nothing...i dont say it was bad game but i didnt see as appealing and worse, boring...

ah...so it came to gaming again. well anyway, you can discuss about what you get from this blog...
