chinatown wars should arrive on saturday, so i guess i can comment on that when it gets here. i wouldn't have gotten it (well, eventually, but the shelf life for the average ds game is LOW) till later, but after hearing how shitty it sold, i figure either get it now, or not get it later due to high cost (im fucking looking at you tetris ds.).
that, and ive heard tons of good things about it. didn't much take kindly to gta2, but from watching this game, they added enough to it to make it look accessible to a gamer such as myself.
*edit*
i guess this is more relevant.
decided instead of replaying 8, or 9....id beat one i didn't beat before.
going for final fantasy x-2. ive started this game on three seperate occasions, and couldn't seem to get past the 15-20 hour mark. i think this time is different, due to mainly quitting trying to max out jobs (yeah....it isn't needed, but im obsessive compulsive sometimes). then i discovered this.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/562386/2726199ap per battle, and i don't have to do anything? fuck yes. i like the game, but like the ap thing put me off. now i should be able to make it through (yes, even through all of the terrible cutscenes....though i DO like the opening theme song...)
can't really be too embarrassed, because i also like this song
yeah bitches
but uhh, the last time i tried, i was burned out on final fantasy. like, i beat 7, 9, and 10 within two weeks of eachother. attempted 12 again, failed, as well as x-2. the summer following that (8 months or so later) i started and beat 5....but then i guess that burned me out on trying 6 (ff anthology).
so yeah, im going to attempt 12
if i manage to finish this one. only im not deleting my save and starting from the beginning again. ill just relearn everything from where i was, it's not like i like the story or anything in that game(same goes with x-2...), everything is super bland, but i mean it doesn't detract from the "hey levelan, hey new abilities, hey new spells and shit" which i enjoy. but uhh, started x-2 from scratch, not like it will take long to get back to where i was.
i have some kind of compulsion to beat all of the final fantasy games....im on the hook on trying 2 (i HATE the leveling system in that game) but if it's all i have left in the end, i may as well go for it.
so far im at...
1
5
7
8
9
10
tactics, though like, i don't mean spinoffs, and i don't like the gba tactics. just felt like adding it.
and one last thing, i have my controller set up around a folded up pair of jeans and some socks, to make a level base for my tv remote to rest on the x button. so like basically, with what i am doing right now. get the fight setup to have one melee attacker. i have white mage, dancer, and warrior. white mage casts prayer (no mp cost, heals everybody a small amount), dancer casts darkness dance (no mp cost, darkness on enemy), and warrior casts sentinel (too lazy to look up what it does...its a self buff i know that). then like walk away and come back when 20-30 minutes have elapsed (or when you know you are nearing 99ap gained...currently i don't have much being in chapter 1, but i figure ill get those 3 mostly done on each character before i move on)
