I have been playing games like crazy since I haven't gotten a job yet. I'm still trying though, trust me.
Anyway I've been playing a lot of games both old and new. Like The Legend of Dragoon....this game has not aged well. It's basically reduced to me laughing hysterically over the god awful dialogue. Don't get me wrong, it's always going to be one of my favorite games since it was essentially the first rpg I played (correctly. I was terrible at them when I first tried them and always gave up). It's just so bad.
I also played more of FFXIII, this game makes me so angry. There are a lot of problems with it that a lot of other games have been making, such as when your party leader dies you get a game over. That's the most ridiculous thing ever. I have two other party members that can rez me. Nothing makes me more angry than this...I mean, all it takes it one unlucky hit or crit to ruin a battle that takes twenty effing minutes.
What I also hate about this game is that it took over thirty hours to make me want to play it. I kept forcing myself to play it (I took about 6 months to get past one part that I HATED.) Then finally I get to Gran Pulse and it's wonderful! Huge open spaces, lots of interesting enemies to fight, and...what's this? SIDE QUESTS! Finally. Something to do other than this terrible convoluted story that makes me cringe. (seriously I cringe during some of this cutscenes. They're terrible. This story is terrible. I've never skipped cutscenes before, but I'm doing it.)
So anyway, I'm in this huge open space and I'm having a great time. I have spent over ten hours just running around doing these side missions, that, despite being only one type of side mission, have almost nothing to do with the main story. Thank god. Then I decide to do more story stuff. This boss I'm on seems to kick my ass no matter what I try, and here's another gripe I have. Certain bosses and enemies seem to only be defeatable with the exact correct paradigm set up and that bothers me. I shouldn't have to keep guessing and checking and dying and retrying to beat a boss.
Alright, enough about that. The next fun thing I did was try to play Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. And I've come to realization.
Any Kingdom Hearts that isn't in the main storyline blows.
Hard.
It doesn't help that I'm playing as Aqua and she has a terrible voice actor and is probably the most boring character I've come across in the KH universe, but I was running around in Neverland land when I suddenly realized that this game sucks.
I do not care about these people. I care about Sora. I care about the main storyline, but frankly I don't know WTF the main storyline even is anymore. Damn you SE, you are screwing up your franchises with these crappy games that you pour so much time into and they suck anyway.
I mean, I skip cutscenes in this game too. In the original KH, no matter which world you went to there was SOMETHING that had to do with your main quest. In this one, I don't know WTF Aqua is doing going around world to world. She goes, she talks to the inhabitants (which usually goes something like HERP DEEERRRRP MONSTERS HEREEEEEE ok thanks bai) which usually has something to do with monsters but they never mention WHAT it has to do with the main quest which I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
Long story short I regret buying this game. I don't even like battling because of the insane loading times. They're awful and unnecessary.
So....I complain a lot but I promise I do play games that I actually like. I just don't talk about them because talking about things I like doesn't make me nearly as excited as talking about things I don't like.
And I got a kitten. He's grey and fluffy and I think he might be a crack head. He has soooooooo much energy. It's cute until I'm ready to go to bed. He bites everything, so I think I might call him Chomp. Also he likes to sleep on my head and play with my hair. Not just with it but in it. I have really curly hair so I guess it's like a nest to him.
I've run out of steam for blogging. So I'll talk the next time I come to the internet. Tomorrow! No that's unlikely. Probably monday.
Oh god I miss the internet T_T
