Braving Vesperia

Well it has been a while since I've posted... sigh. Right now I am playing Tales of Vesperia on Xbox 360. Yes I know its coming to PS3 as a Director's Cut version but I just can't wait another year for it to come here like freaking Eternal Sonata. So what do I have to say about this game... it is DAMN GOOD! After finishing Final Fantasy XII, I took a break from playing a console RPG and eagering awaiting this game. While I haven't finided a Tales game before (sad I know), I was pumped for this seeing as its by Namco and anime-style!

I must admit that when I first turned it on, I was bummed that there was no Japanese dubbed option. But after playing it for a bit, I actually didn't mind the voices, it is a lot better than Tales of Symphonia I can tell you that! Now I'm hooked on the game with 40 hours in and playing it every chance I can :p

While I am pissed that the PS3 version was announced being the better edition like Eternal Sonata with all its super awesome editions, I will still buy it but when its cheaper but I know I won't play it. I don't usually go back and play an RPG that I have already completed (except Pokemon) cause mainly I just have waaaaaaaaay too many games to play, sigh.

After Tales of Vesperia, I am thinking of playing either one of these RPGs:
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of Symphonia
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Grandia III
Rogue Galaxy

Yes I know three of them are PS2 games but its hard to deny that the PlayStation 2 was the king of Japanese RPGs, yes sorry SNES fans. There were just so many and many of them were also localised to English officially! Thats a huge bonus :) The Nintendo DS and GBA are fair good when it comes to portable RPGs, I just can't stand the PSP's load times even though there are CG/Anime cutscenes but if I wanted to see them, I'll just play their PSone/PS2 counterparts :p

Well if I have time, I'll post up a review for Tales of Vesperia when I'm done with it. For now, toodles!

Almost There

Sigh, I really did drop the ball, only nine video games finished. Although I do have another four more days cause University doesn't start for me until Friday anyway, hehe. Working really hard as well, selling phones all day long and only thinking about phones and video games... not the best combination.

Just finished Gears of War and damn its so manly and i like it! All the jap action games make it kinda girly. Not so to US-made Epic Games' game where its all macho and no women at all (besides Anya that you never see)! Unless the Locust I killed in that level was a real female then I take it back. Well I'm like two-thirds through Dragon Quest IV so I should be able to finish it before Friday. Also I want to get Killzone 2 so that would be a good one to finish as well. Good luck to me!
