There have been no updates because I am still struggling with that garbage Atelier Online game that I dropped but soon picked up again. I never knew I was such a glutton for punishment… But I have already determined not to write about it any more, so no further comments.
I will probably start Persona Q this weekend and then give my comments. I thought for sure that an SMT coating on the standard Etrian Odyssey shell would be enough to tempt me to play the series, but the more I think about it, the more reluctant I get. I don’t wanna navigate around any FOEs… <_< I’m already farming items in AO, I don’t want to forage any more…
Yah anyway, blog isn’t dead, gaming isn’t dead, I isn’t dead yet. I will post again when I have something to post again.
I wonder: what happened to your planned run of The Lost Child? 😀
It’s too much work to get out of bed and sit in front of the TV ^^;;
Buuut, I thought you had a Vita? Or did I misunderstand? 😅
No, I have a PSTV. It plays Vita games but on the TV only. Like the opposite of a Nintendo Switch Lite.
Killed the annoying golem?
Yup, long ago. Now I have an annoying Slag to kill, and to do that, I need a specific weapon with a specific element that I’m currently grinding for. Don’t know why, but I’m doing it.
I envy the ability to grind tons and enjoy complicated mechanics in a RPG game, if there isn’t a strong story pushing the game it’s a chore for me, and this doesn’t seem the case XD Looking for that Persona Q review, Strange Journey was so disappointing that I’m not sure if the game worths it…
I actually enjoyed Strange Journey, though I could never finish it. Story is close to the least important element for me when it comes to RPGs (soundtrack is probably lower). All the stories amount to is meaningless meandering for several hours and then “The power of friendship!” or “Mankind needs no gods!” and then we beat the boss and win. So as long as the story makes a modicum of sense and doesn’t insult my intelligence, that’s enough for me.
Yes, I know it,that is why your articles are so helpful to me… I remember SJ dungeons being too simple and repetitive, maybe I’ll try again Redux someday, the blocky textures of the DS didn’t help…
Not to discourage you, but I’ve rarely had success retrying games I wasn’t enjoying to begin with. It’s sad sometimes because I want to get into a certain game or series, but it doesn’t work out. So don’t force yourself to go back to SJ if it’s not your thing.
