The gaming diary

[phoenix1967]

I think for all quests done, main story, exploration you may get 40 hours on your first run through. A speed run through the main story only takes 4-5. The exploration is where the meat of the game is at. the length of the interactive storytelling depends more on how fast you read and if you fast-forward the conversations.

Did you finish it yet? I think that I'm about halfway through because I've been sidequesting so much. The only major planet (of the 4 REQUIRED) that I've finished is Feros.

How do you FF the dialogue? Usually the dial-tree doesn't come up for me until late in the conversation.

Pressing X FF's the dialogue. I'm doing the Feros mission right now, I've done all the surveying/exploring/side missions for all the other star systems except two gather quests I have yet to completely finish that are at 8/10 and 6/7 completion. The only ones left are the ones I'll no doubt receive while on the main quest planets.

Still under 30 hours logged.

Medal of Honor: PA is annoying. It doesn't have the open feel of the CoD games and yet seems to strive for realism.

Sooooo...I can't walk through that bush because it's the edge of the map and yet I can't see my enemies because they are so well camouflaged. I really don't know what's happening half of the time; the under brush is so thick I can be standing next to a Jap and not even know it while he, of course, can see right through it and be stabbing me with his bayonet.

In the first real mission I'm given a Springfield without a scope and a revolver. Both of these guns suck ass in this game. The bolt action takes almost as long as the normal reload and yet it takes 2-3 shots to kill anything...once I got a machine gun it was alright, but I wonder what the hell the designers were thinking.

Welp, GameCube is broken. All my games are up at OSU besides Shadow Hearts FtNW, Suikoden 3, Bleach, Tales of Phantasia and my computer (Final Fantasy VI). So right now it´s an assload of Bleach. Trying to master Ichimaru (pretty damn amazing with him) since he is balanced but has a damn near unstoppable combo, Soi Fon (pretty damn good with her, but against a Yoruichi player who is amazing I lose) for her close range throws then ariel combos and Ruikia because I figured I should have a far range attacker that I´m good with.

Don´t know why I´m posting this considering I´m probably the only one on RFGeneration who plays this game even though it is unbelievably amazing and overlooked due to being based on an anime. But damnit! It´s a Treasure game!

Tribes is continuing to be pretty sweet.

It's like Starship Troopers without Bugs...I think it needs Bugs.

[Tondog]

Tribes for PC?! Shit yeah that game rules.

Final Fantasy VI. Finishing up Sabin´s quest then only have Locke´s to go. Also Kefka is pretty sweet.

Pretty sweet spot in the game.

Yaris (POS game)
Aegis Wing

Ah, tryin' out the freebies.  Yaris is evil, but Aegis Wing is awesome... a second player is a MUST!

Bleach. Kinda funny when people disconnect in a social match where nothing happens if you lose.

More Mass Effect.

Calling All Cars and flOw on the good ol PS3 last night. Pain comes out on the Playstation Store today for something like $10, and chances are I'll wind up getting it because it looks like a blast.
