Yeah I'm taking a break from Borderlands till the final DLC drops and getting some much over due RPG time in with Ni No Kuni. Your right though, too many good games to try and make time for. Good problem to have if you ask me, lol.
I'm pretty hyped about her DLC, I think it going to be the best of the additional campaigns. The rumor of additional add ons is also pretty exciting, love to see the lv cap bumped up to 75 or 100 or another playable character class.
Thats what I have heard, I'll get to it eventually.
I have done that too. Having high expectations can really backfire and make you dislike a game thats actually pretty good even though it may have some nasty flaws. Thats why I try not to get too excited about stuff.
Oh you can count on that, lol. I have only had my PS3 for about a year and I already have like 30 something games for it. That was the best part about waiting is I got most of those for 20 bucks or less.
As for the art on Ni No Kuni, its really the character designs I have an issue with. The enviroments and scenery are great. Plus I'm a huge fan of Miyazaki of Studio Ghibly stuff, so I was expecting something with a bit more personality I guesse.
Well I plan to stay optimistic and the similarities between this game and DQ8 are deffinatley there. Not a fan of ai contolled parties for the most part either but I have played several games much older than this that made it actually work suprisingly well (Persona 3 FES) so I agree that if its as bad as you say, that is unacceptable. But I haven't gotten my other party members yet, so I will find out before long.
It may not be for eveyone, and like I said I was really put off by the demo, but after getting some time with the full game I can see now just how much more there is to it.
The backlog will be there,lol. I actually attempted to beat Rogue Galaxy the other day and now I remember why I got pissed and quit it at the end. A solid hour of marathon boss fights only to get killed by a cheap shot from the FINAL boss. Maybe I'll try again in a month or so when the very sight of the cover does not make me want to set it on fire.
Yeah its a bit of hybrid in that regard. I kind of like that because it makes grinding less monotinous. Its realy sad to see true turn based games go the way of the dino's, at least on consoles anyway. I have tons of great TBC JRPG's on my DS, but I just can't play it for long periods of time without getting cramped up, or my hand falling asleep,lol.
Yeah I'm in the same spot with Nier, MGS4, Metroid Other M, and Dragon Age, have not even got around to trying them out. I'm really enjoying Ni No Kuni so far, I'm glad my initial feeling on it were wrong.
Priorities! lol, Career has kind of become a dirty word these days. Its like de ja vu, back in the light 90's when I finished High school it was the same talk as today, people going to collage, getting degrees and not being able to find a job. I don't mean to presume that you are jobless of course,lol. But I hope things work out for you.
I was really excited about it, then a bit disappointed after playing the demo. Then I finally got it from Gamefly and was able to see the whole game, er first few hrs but you know what I mean. I still don't care much for the character designs, but thats trivial at this point. The depth of the gameplay and the character personalities are where the real meat of this game is at.
