They aren’t bad games, but I don’t really get excited at the thought of playing them either. Wild Arms 5 – 20 hours in, maybe? The last scene I recall was riding my monowheel into Twelbit… and there was some fountain or the other in the middle of town. Can’t remember if I saw anything […]
Wild Arms 5 – Picking up nicely
It took about 10 hours, but I’m finally starting to enjoy Wild Arms 5.
