The Gaming Diary: Chapter 3

[techwizard]

N3 is more fantasy based. DW is actually based off a historical fiction novel (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has its own game series that is strategy-based...which also ties in with Nobunaga's Ambition and Kessen...and others...), so they HAVE to be centered around the story in some aspect.

OKAY, SO I HAVE THE TRANSLATED NOVELS, AND MOST OF THE GAMES... They're still fun.  DW7 and DW8 felt more labored than the previous iterations, and I wasn't a fan of how they changed up some of the characters. I dipped my toes into Three Kingdoms with Nobunaga's Ambition on SNES, and later fell in love with DW2 and 3. My neighbor and I spent 300 hours maxing out every character in DW4.

i was totally getting the historical fiction vibe from DW5, i'll have to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms someday to better understand the character motivations and time period. i feel like the games themselves possibly don't have a lot of story because they expect people to have some knowledge of the source material to fill in the blanks.

This new DW certainly looks interesting.

I totally forgot about Kessen! I did play at least some of the first one back in the day, even though I own all three...but I don't have to explain myself...at least not to you guys. Ha ha

This is the version I own. I've had it since high school. I should buy Journey to the West and Outlaws of the Marsh. They're all considered Chinese literary classics, much like Iliad and Odyssey were for Greece. Journey to the West has a huge influence on literature, if you haven't read it yet...

Star Wars: Battlefront II (PSP) - Finally nearing the end lol

[topkek88]

I've been gorging on Skyrim for a while now, finally reached 63. I've completed the Dragonborn DLC thus I've completed each main quest line.

I've also finished Super Mario Bros. and I'm playing through 2 and the Lost Levels now.

I guess so, it really just boils down to mashing x/b and one boring cut-scene to the next lol

I was making a joke in regards to the achievement list for that title. You can literally get 1000 GS in about 30 seconds during the first battle...which I did to "Complete" the game...and then returned it to Blockbuster shortly after that. Lol

That was the intention. The game is bad and the easy 1000gs was a quick add by the devs to sell the game.

It took us 3-4 weeks but we finally finished Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Takes about 12-15 hours of boosting. At one time that would have taken me 2 days.... sometimes just one.

Closing in on level 96 in Gems of War.

~95 more Hypercubes in Bejeweled 2.

I knew that I was just dragged into playing it again, and it doesn't get any better after earning all the achievements in that first battle.

Beat Miracle Warriors today.  Woo hoo!  Go vote on what I should play next in this forum.

Got all the achievements in Half-Life 2, finally. That was a vastly bigger pain in the ass than I thought it would be.
Off to do the same in Episode One!
