I've heard that the DS version required the use of a large real life book of spells because you need to know how to draw the symbols on the screen. It's seems like a really bad design choice. Who is going to carry around this book to play a portable game? But, I would hope they would just take the PS3 version and scale it down for 3DS. I'd love to draw the spell symbols with the stylus ala Okami and Okamiden.
Yea, I might do that. Maybe rekindle my interest in magazines.
Firstly: I'd marry the butler lady because you are a farmer and stay at home a lot and that knight will just be out on quests all the time and never come home.
Secondly: Rune Factory sounds cool. I didn't know there were dungeons in the game and that you can befriend monsters. Some of my best friends are monsters.
Thirdly: I really liked Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. It was like a foody, punny Jurassic Park.
Fourthly: I'm going to read your Disgaea review now because I love SRPGs and always wanted to try Disgaea.
OMFG! I haven't seen this Dark Sorcerer vid before. Awesome!
That's cool. I have it, but I'm going to trigger the buy so I have a backup digital copy in case my disc gets scratched or something.
I still have a vivid memory of wandering around one of the Doom levels and having the music just creep me out so much that my hands started shaking. Oculus Rift got nothing on Doom and its music.
Get me all excited there and no link? Well here's one for ya: http://www.destructoid.com/there-may-be-hope-yet-for-a-ni-no-kuni-ds-localization-251364.phtml The Japanese DS version has been out since 2010 and you can play it on any DS, or 3DS for that matter, if you can handle the menus in Japanese, but apparently a translated 3DS version may happen. This article says the DS version is not as good as the PS3 version, but I don't care. If it comes to 3DS, I am all over it day-one.
I heard about Retro Gamer on the Allgengamers podcast where they had Mike Kennedy on talking about GameGavel.com. He says "spread the word if you believe in print media". Unfortunately, I'm not sure I do anymore. It kinda sucks. The internet has really made it hard for freelance writers and good publications like this to make a buck.
I used to love my magazines up until only a few years ago and then one by one they got cancelled. Now I get all my info from podcasts and websites like this one. I wish I could get psyched for it, but I can't. A web site yes, but paper thingy in my mail box, no.
I got God of War HD Collection, but I had problems with it and I traded it in. I have the originals, but I might get it again and see if they fixed the problems with it. My game files kept getting corrupted so I couldn't continue where I left off. I do like even small improvements to my very favorite games. It's another excuse to play them again on a new system.
The Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD collection is good for me because I never had those games on PS2 and now they're hard to find or expensive.
Yea, both of those purchases are not just for one game really. That's $1000 to last me five years or more of many games and movies.
I think it's been four or five years since I bought a 32" TV that gets up to 1080i and it's been five years since my last console purchase. The time is coming soon for both I think.
