What are you playing right now #2

Atelier Rorona finally arrived, so I switched over to that. It's a great game, absolutely wonderful, but...it's kinda just that...is it just me, or is "Esty Dee" quite possibly one of the most unfortunate names ever?

[Raype]

I'm gonna go with "yes".

Unless the alternate choice was "Peter Fyle" or "Sodo Mite". In which case, it can sorta be worse. Sorta.

Wait, what? They changed her second name to "Dee" in the English version? Oh dear.

If you continue to enjoy Rorona, you should definitely take a look at Totori once it's released in the US. It's absolutely fantastic, and a massive improvement on a prequel that I already enjoyed a whole bunch.

Back to the old days

It's better to play in order, for example before I play Nintendo Wii, I will first play Nintendo then Super Nintendo then N64, then Game Cube, then finally Wii.

Finished the first couple of levels of Dead Space. I've generally enjoyed it so far, but the camera gives me a headache. Which is unfortunate.

Just about done with the first disc of Baten Kaitos II. Lots of fun! It keeps the lovely setting and mythos of the first game, but mixes in much more interesting characters (Guillo! <3) and a generally more intriguing and well-written story. I also think it does the prequel thing rather well. Getting a glimpse of some of the first game's characters before the events of said game really pushes them beyond the rather shallow, one dimensional archetypes they were in it, and causes you to view some of the events of the first game in a quite different light.

Gameplay-wise, I'm a little disappointed that they scaled down the wealth of cards you had at your disposal in the first game, even if many of them were useless, and deck construction isn't nearly as fun to tinker with as it was in BK1. On the other hand, it's hard to argue that the revamped battle engine isn't a massive improvement on the first game's, and at the speed that battles play out at, things would get pretty impossible to manage were you given as many different options as you had in the first game. I think on the whole, the changes are probably for the better, and for a non-action orientated battle system, the game really rewards quick thinking and reflexes. I'm also kind of glad they took out the card aging system that was present in the first game, as though it was cool, there was nothing more frustrating than starting a boss fight only to find that some of your precious healing items had turned into rotten food. :'D

My only real complaint about the game would be the sheer wealth of reused assets from the first game. Though given that it's set in the same world in a similar timeframe, I guess it's not completely unmerited. And they were pretty enough the first time around that seeing more of them isn't such a chore. Oh, and obviously I'd prefer another composer due to my unbridled hatred of Motoi Sakuraba. Though like the first game, BKII is definitely one of his strongest works, and has a fair number of tracks I'm actually quite fond of.

Playing phantasy star, and it's kicking my behind.

[calypstar]

Currently playing around with Dynasty Warriors (PSP) and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. Great games for great console

[Aeolus Aeneas]

DemiKids: Dark Version, because I need yet another SMT game to drain my time. Even though it's easy despite supposedly being the harder, more complex version.

Also vanilla Morrowind for the PC.

[Drageuth]

Impossible Mode on Dead Space at the moment. Just started Chapter 3.

The biggest difference I'm finding between this and when I played through on Normal is my general lack of ammo. I've taken to beating the shit out of enemies more than just shooting them whenever I'm confronted with just one at a time. Conserves ammo.

[Rasgrez]

Starcraft 2.

Just finished a couple of the Protoss missions before giving it a rest for the night.
