I watched the Gundam Movie Char's Counter Attack. I was promptly underwhelmed and disappointed. Then I played some Super Mario Land.

ok. i like that the gundams aren't almost invincible like in gundam wing, but wtf is with the good guy managing to kill an enemy moslem-piloted gundam using an infantry weapon?!?!? hell , at least there's less emofaggy crying and yelling in this ripoff than SEED. |

In Legend of Heroes I went through a town and Avin and Mile got knocked out and carted back to a town AGAIN, and not in the "I let my HP go to 0"
way, but the plot point where somebody uses a spell on them that isn't nearly as effective when you finally get around to fighting them way. Then I got
Douglas, the typical strong guy who can't use magic. He had lost a sword which I eventually retreived, and when I took it back to him everyone got into a
swearing fest that even Mile who was always the voice of reason joined in on. I couldn't help but laugh at how absurd it was.
Man, how many flipping times do we have to go through that "Holy crap, these kids are part of the adventurer's guild???" shpeal? |

I finished the Giant. That CPU boss is really easy once you figure out the strategy.

I don't know if it's just the annoying little shithead I've got in my party now, but Legend of Heroes is starting to piss me off, and the Engrish
has gone from amusing to annoying.
How many times is this game going to repeat itself? I'm sick of Avin and Mile getting knocked out and waking up in a house/inn (this has happened THREE FUCKING TIMES so far), I'm sick of everyone telling everyone else they have to on go alone only to give into "No way! I'm/We're coming with!" within seconds, I'm sick of Avin and Mile introducing themselves to everyone else, I'm sick of Avin whining about his lost sister, and I'm REALLY fucking sick of everyone commenting on how young they are to be adventurers. Half the game is backtracking and the battles are repetetive. I don't think there's a single plot point I haven't seen in another game. Dude's peaceful lifestyle is shattered when some guys raid their home looking for his family, then when he's older sets out to find his sister? Fable (and it was already stale when Fable did it, anyway). Dude's sister is some kind of human-goddess? Drakengard. Dude turns into a hotblood and his best friend is the voice of reason who always steps in when Dude starts yelling? I'm sure there's a specific game where this happens exactly, but I keep thinking of Garet and Ivan from Golden Sun, but they weren't really childhood friends (Garet and Isaac were, but Isaac was mute). And I know there's another game about people trying to destroy the world and create a better one in its place, I'm thinking that was also Drakengard, or maybe Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, but that's not fair since those came out after Legend of Heroes. |

Gee, that game sounds like the forerunner for the title of "Most Generic RPG Ever."
And I think the villains' plot of "destroy world to make a better one in its place" has been done in at least 40 RPGs by this point.

The sad part is, this is from the people who did Ys, and I really wanted to like this game, but it's getting to the point I'm not sure if I'm even
going to bother finishing it. I checked GameFAQs, and I'm about a third of the way through the game. I guess that means Avin and Mile are going to get
knocked out and taken back to town to recover six more times.

Gee, that game sounds like the forerunner for the title of "Most Generic RPG Ever." so if some nerds made a better looking crysis mod of it, it would be game of the year , and make whatshisname(who produced fable) cry? --- dark crusade: the loading speed doesn't seem as bad as the 20 minutes loading of soul storm. trouble creating a gamespy account to play online. screw it. i'll probably suck just as badly as when i'm playing WC3(the "real" game and not the numerous custom maps). micromanaging and unit spamming in realtime is just not ma thang, not ma style. still having a tough time in single player campaign. i beat the chaos marines in an early rush, but now all the other surviving factions(the tau whacked the space marines) have well fortified bases all over the map. the tau stronghold seems impossible to survive in the first few minutes unless i win more honour guard units. haven't tried killng the orks since their stronghold is surrounded by 2 other strong bases which i have failed to beat a few times. sure, the necrons are tough but their numbers are too few and slow to rush well(unless there's only 1 enemy HQ on the mission map) and if i turtle, there's a very high chance i'll be outnumbered 10:1. it seems near impossible for necrons to take on well-established bases w/o getting "zerg-ed"... or to sound more old skool, "tyranid-ed". i feel like i'm playing the overpriced protoss in starcraft again. |

whatshisname(who produced fable)Peter Molyneux, I might have misspelled his last name but I don't really care. That little shithead left the party and the game became slightly more palatable after that. I can't tell you how badly I wanted to drop kick that little fuck. |

Dude's peaceful lifestyle is shattered when some guys raid their home looking for his family, then when he's older sets out to find his sister? Fable (and it was already stale when Fable did it, anyway). Dude's sister is some kind of human-goddess? Drakengard. The first game I know of that did that plot was Breath of Fire. Sorry, I haven't been playing games any (or working on the RAU Gallery either), but the kitty situation has been taking up most of my time. I hate to
keep making excuses for why I'm not working on things, but I think once Mel and Hermes are more used to each other and don't need me to help them
adjust to each other, they can run off and play and do their thing while I can get back to Boulder Dash and AT6.

Got Bahamut AND Odin! Woo-hoo! The fight with Bahamut was weird, not what I was expecting at all.

Street Fighter HD Remix: had some better matches tonight. There was a really good Bison player in one lobby who must have won about 17 times in a row. I
eventually managed to beat him with Vega, carefully using his off the wall jump to throw move.
Hokuto no Ken: I almost beat survival mode with Ken-Oh and made it to Toki, the last opponent, but he beat me. I didn't really stand a chance because I had next to no health left at all when the fight started. |

So I picked up R-Types again recently, only to play and finally finish R-Type (Normal). It must have taken well over 500 attempts for me to get past stage 7,
and had I not Youtubed (I think Crawl linked to these videos in a previous Game Progress Topic), I really doubt I would have come across the trick to beating
the 7th boss*. And I used/abused the stage select somewhat so as to start the 7th and 8th stages powered-up. So...
*Thinking about this... unfortunately my memory is too poor to recall, but I forget if this trick was used to defeat the equivalent boss in the Game Boy game or not And I played some Maken Shao: Demon Sword (PS2) which is not as bad as I thought it might have been. But I'm too tired to type now. Off to bed.
Not too hot at games, and not much better at writing reviews!

Okay, I think Legend of Heroes is trying to piss me off now. I'm not afraid to drop spoilers since I'm sure nobody else here gives a shit
about this game.
Avin got his damn sister back, and the way he spoke about her was almost creepy. Mile tells her she's cute, and then Avin gets all pissy, and tells Mile not to flirt with his sister. Erm, okay. But then she got lost again. I also lost Mile, and the game is strongly implying he's dead. He got slammed into a wall, left a bunch of blood on said wall, then fell to the ground and made a pool of blood, then the bad guy teleports him and Avin's stupid sister away. But given how cliche this game is I'm holding out hope he'll be back. I'm sure if he really was supposed to be dead, the bad guy would have left his corpse behind to have a melodramatic death scene where he gives Avin his bell, his eyes roll back in his head, and then a burial scene. And in fact, it doesn't even make any sense as to why they took him away, except to create ambiguity. But if he really is dead, I'm going to be horribly pissed. He was my favorite thing about this game, though given the competition... And guess what! I had to go visit some ruins from some ancient, highly advanced civilization! I got a vision about collecting all the color-coordinated magical macguffins and getting a magic sword to beat the baddies with! A lot of this game is reminding me of Lufia 2, in that much of what happens in the game don't have shit to do with shinola.

Huh, all this time, I assumed Mile was a girl. Yeah...
My bet is that when he shows up later, it turns out that he's joined the bad guys. It's one of the few anime/RPG cliches they haven't exhausted yet! So that just has to be it! In FFIV I'm at Zeromus and his siezure-rific background. I couldn't help but to notice that part of the final battle music sounds like "Cruel Angel Thesis" from Neon Genesis Evangelion. (I'm such a dork...)

I beat Dragon Warrior Monsters with a Blizzardy bird, MistyWing, and Metal Babble. Then after the credits it saved my game and told me to turn it off and on
again, and now there are new quests to do.

Is it wrong that Legends of Heroes sounds hilarious? It's like every reason I don't like RPGs (and then some!) combined with a generic art style and crushed into one concentrated ball of argh.
Haven't played Paper Mario in a while; I'd gotten to the second floor of Tubba Blubba's castle, and nothing's stopping me from progressing further besides lack of motivation. Mostly been playing random games lately such as Sonic 3, Wario's Woods, Alcahest (made it to the second area in the castle's sewer; kinda meh so far) and Bomberman Max 2 (completed in four days at 56%). Also played a bit of Klonoa 2 and finished one level before I promptly got stuck again. Wah-wah-waaaah. |

Legend of Heroes compensated slightly by giving me back Douglas, my second favorite thing about the game. After that, everything about the game can go fuck
itself.
I also can't get over how tangent heavy the game is. After Avin gets back to town after the RUINS OF THE ANCIENT, HIGHLY ADVANCED CIVILIZATION he's told to go get a magical macguffin from from a shrine. But just as I try to leave town, somebody comes chasing after me telling me monsters are attacking. There, I get Douglas, fight off one battle of monsters, sit through a cutscene where Avin mopes about his sister and goes on about how Mile is dead because of him. Then somebody comes up to the group to tell them a merchant needs saving. I go out of town again, except the merchant's already been saved by a woman who trained under the same master as Douglas. I sit through some more rambling. Then I have to go to town to deliver something to the guildmaster. THEN I'm finally able to go down the path to the shrine, but partway there I'm interrupted by the swordswoman and have to go into a mine to chase some brat who can turn invisible. Then I get to the town with the shrine, then have to go find somebody who can open it. Some Granny gives me a lead, which turns out to be a dead end. Now I have to go fight the Loch Ness monster. You know what? I'm going to GameFAQs to see if Mile does come back or not. If he really is dead, this game can rot on the shelf. I'd like to finish this game just for the sake of finishing it, but I'm not mucking through another twenty hours of this bullshit and potentially getting that little "black mage prodigy" shit from earlier in the game back on my party, just to find out he's really dead. .... And then, Mile appears too. This place makes the dead able to talk to the living, which means that Mile really died earlier.What. The. FUCK. The good old Phantasy Star 3 bullshit! Killing off a character I actually liked, and replacing him with somebody with all the personality of a dial tone. Fuck this game. |

i was searching legend of heroes on youtube and i found LEGEND OF HERO(zhong hwa yin xiong)!!! the hongkies made yet another drama series based on the popular
chop socky kung fu comic. it's like mixing up film noir, gangsta cliches with fucking SWORD FIGHTING!!! so full of manliness!!!
