Day 1) Very first video game.
I actually had to think for a long time for this one cuz I couldn't remember my first video game XD
Spyro the Dragon
I LOOOOOOVED Spyro when I was young. It was my obsession. I was so obsessed with it, I even got my mother hooked on it for awhile XD It'd be so funny waking up to go to school and seeing your mom in the corner playing Spyro XP I almost wish she never fell outta playing it cuz I'd kill to see her play it now XD
Day 2) Your favorite character.
Hmmm, I don't know, I have so many favorites.. Oh! I got one!
Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts: Covenant)
Not only is he smexy, but he also kicks ass and is just a joy to play as XD He's got such an attitude, but it's not the bad kind...it's more like the "omaigod lmao I can't believe he just said/did that" kind and the fact that his catch-phrase happens to be "bite me" just makes it all the better! And after playing the first game of the series and finding out about his past, you can't help but love him!
Day 3) A game that is underrated
That one's kinda easy
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
It's such a beautiful game! Sure the game play's a little slow, but I think slow paced games are nice once in awhile, and the graphics completely make up for it. You also get emotionally attached to the characters just in time for them to be taken away TT^TT It's a very sad and depressing game, but again, it's soooo beautiful, aaand I'll never forget Crow D: POOOOR CROOOOOW! </3
Yeah, this game is def underrated. So many reviewers give it terrible reviews (mostly because of how slow it is) but it's soooooo good!
Day 4) Your guilty pleasure game.Ohhhh gawwwwwd
Prinny
This is a picture of the strategy guide...but the cover of the game is basically the same. If you've read any of my posts prior to this one, then you know of my love/hate relationship with the Disgaea games, specifically the Prinny games X3X It's really shameful, but it's true...I love them *cries a little on the inside*
Oh boy, I feel like I am the most like:
Uriko (Bloody Roar 3)
We're both very accident prone and we both have our childish moments. We also look kinda similar (brown hair/eyes) XD
Ohhhhh there's too many of them...oh geez!
Ashley
I actually haven't PLAYED Resident Evil 4, but I've seen enough of it to know that I hate Ashley. She so goddamn annoying "LEOOOOOOON HEEEEEEELP! HELP ME LEON! HEEEEEEEELP"
OMAIGAWD SHUTTHEFUCKUP! I drew a comic once making fun of the Ashley situation where Leon accidently shoots her cuz she runs outta nowhere amongst the horde of zombies...I could totally see her doing that, in fact, she probably HAS done that. And then on top of being completely useless and annoying, she thinks she can successfully hit on Leon...ya lady, nooooo. Leon's a smart cookie, smart enough to be all like "....yaaanoooooooo" I feel bad for the president for having such a ...stupid daughter XP
Eheheheh
Shinjiro X Minako (Persona 3 Portable)
SOCUTESOCUTESOCUTE *head explodes* but I will have to point out that Yuri/Alice (Shadow Hearts) is a very close second. If you really want to read my rant about why I love Shinji/Minako, then you'll have to check out my 30 Days of Persona Awesomeness post XD
This is actually a really tough one because there are so many game soundtracks that I really enjoy. Shadow Hearts, Persona, sooo many! I may have to go with this choice tho...:
Ar Tonelico
The Ar Tonelico games are based off of music and the magical power it holds in their world, but anyway, the soundtracks for all the AT games are always stunning and beautiful! Any game by this team (such as the Aterlier games and the Mana Khemia games) usually also have very awesome music, but AT beats them all in my opinion.
The one that I can think of at the top of my head is:
(Reviving Alice) Shadow Hearts 2
*SPOILER* In the first Shadow Hearts game, we follow Yuri, a rambunctious and cocky man who meets a pastor(?)'s daughter named Alice. Through the events of the first game, the two end up falling in love, buuuuut... at the end of the first game, certain things happen where Alice ends up dying. It's a truly sad scene. Although this picture's from the Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant, it basically represents what happened in the first game. After defeating the main bad guy, Alice and Yuri are traveling on a train to see Alice's family. On the ride, Alice lays her head on Yuri's head and dies. Yuri doesn't notice it at first, so he tries waking her up, but then realizes she's dead and starts crying. It's soooo sad, but this isn't the scene that I'm marking as the saddest <--- This is just back story so that the actual scene will make sense. All throughout Shadow Hearts 2, Yuri is still madly in love with Alice, so when he finds out there's a way to possibly bring her back from the dead, he jumps on the chance. He finds a book with the power of reviving the dead, so him and an ancient scientist named Roger Bacon decide to cast the spell written in the book to try and bring Alice back.
Before Yuri's eyes, Alice's body starts to regenerate, but halfway through, something goes wrong. Alice opens her eyes, but her body begins to crumble away. Distressed, Yuri begins to cry out to Alice, begging her to not leave him again, but the rest of her body dissolves into the air, leaving Yuri alone again.
As you're playing Shadow Hearts, you can't help but become emotionally attached to Yuri (which, may I add, makes the ending of Shadow Hearts 2 one of the dumbest endings EVER...granted it was inevitable and it should have happened, but it's still stupid TT^TT)...but by this point, I was practically balling for Yuri. This poor man wants nothing more than to be with Alice, and when he almost gets her back, she's gone again. It's so sad! Just thinking about it makes me tear up *sniffle* It's okay, Yuri!!!!! I'll give you a huuuuuug!
Another hard one...
Kingdom Hearts 2
Don't judge me! The reason I picked KHII is because I like having the ability to jump, double jump, glide, and all those fun chain attacks you get to do during the fights. Games that don't let me even jump kinda end up pissing me off cuz seriously, what do you have against jumping? It's not like people don't know how to jump! XP
To be completely honest with you, I would have to go with the PS2 or the PS3 (too lazy today to find pictures)... I mean, I know the Sony systems are kinda glitchy, especially the PS2 (seriously, I went through three PS2s because they took a shit on me so quickly....and I know a bunch of other people who had theirs also take a shit on them... but I can't deny it, my PS2 and PS3 are my babies. They put out most of the games that I absolutely love!
Day 12) A game everyone should play.
That's another hard one. For me, it's kind of a tossup between two games (Shadow Hearts: Covenant being one of them) but I suppose for variety, I'll go with the other one:
Okami
Such a beautiful and wonderful game! It's very unique, the designs are odd but intriguing, the scenery's gorgeous, the game play's fun, I loved the fighting system. I just think this game's amazing. It's for sure one I'd recommend to anyone. Okami's really in a league of it's own since they're isn't really another game like it.
To tell you the truth there isn't many games I've played multiple times except, Haunting Ground and Prinny (which you HAVE to play multiple times to somewhat finish it) but I'm gonna let you in on the game I've played the most amount of times:
Shadows of Destiny
It's a very short game with multiple endings. The game's about this blonde kid...well guy named Eike who gets killed but gets brought back to life by _________(I know what his name is, but trying to spell it is going to kill me)...anywho, Eike is then told that he has to prevent his own death. Even after he escapes his original fate when he first died, he finds out he's still not out of danger because whoever was trying to kill him is very bound and determined to get him dead. The entire game, you play as Eike trying to prevent the many deaths that were plotted against him.
When I was much younger, I played this game until my eyes bled. I couldn't even imagine to guess how many times I ended up playing it... There isn't any fighting, it's all mental planning and when I look back on it now, calling it a "slow game" would be an overwhelming understatement. When it was re released for the PSP, I immediately bought it...that was about a year ago, but I have to bring myself to play it again. Don't get me wrong, I still love the game, I think it's just that I need to mentally prepare myself for it all over again XD
Kind of in celebration of the anime being released for this game:
Persona 4
I actually really love this wallpaper on my computer. It makes it look like my computer screen has turned into a tv XD and plus, since it's Persona 4, it's an insta win lol
Resonance of Fate
Imma gonna put up here a couple of screen shots from RoF (the game I'm playing right now) just so you guys can get a sense of it and its gameplay. The reason I origionally bought this game is because of the awesome graphics! It wowed me the first time I ever saw it. Oh and the *ahem* person with the pony tail...I guarantee that you'll first think that he's a chick with his feminine hair, but in actuality he's a he...every person who's watched me play this game has had this confusion lol
You can buy new outfits for the three protagonists. Unfortunately money is kinda hard to come by (since you only get it through missions and you don't get a lot of missions...) so although it's really amusing to put them in ridiculous get ups...I don't do it very often. I have to be a penny pincher in this game.
All I care to say about the battle system is this: it looks complicated (although it really isn't) but it DID take me over an hour to figure it out. Once I did though, the fights became easy. The only problem is that I can spend hours fighting and only level up maybe once. I hate the leveling up system (the only way to level the people up is to level up their weapon or use of that weapon) so the fastest way to level up is to make them jump between the three weapon choices...which even if you still do that, it takes forever to level up...I wanna smack whoever invented that leveling up system T_T
That, also, is a really tough one...
Final Fantasy Dissidia
Especially since it's a game for the PSP. The cut scenes are beautiful and so very realistic! Probably the best I've seen on a PSP game, aside from Crisis Core (cuz those cut scenes were really awesome too!)
Ehehehehehe....
Daniella (Haunting Ground)
She will kill you with her almighty powers of maidum! Anywho, Daniella is one of the antagonists from the survival horror game for the PS2, Haunting Ground. It's a very creepy game, and Daniella just makes the entire experience worth it! She's one of those characters that you hate violently, but when it comes down the end of her arc of the game, you can't help but feel so sorry for her. All she wanted was to be human! *sniffle*
ooooh! Plus, she's really fun to play against! Her part of the game is by far my favorite! Two words: creepy carousel!
ooooh! Plus, she's really fun to play against! Her part of the game is by far my favorite! Two words: creepy carousel!
Okay, so my favorite all time character happens to be my favorite protagonist, but for the sake of variety, I'm going to choose someone else for this question.
Amaterasu
You know why? Because she's a wolf! I really do have a long and interesting explanation for this...but for some reason...between putting the picture here and starting my caption, I've gotten very tired XD and I can't think anymore...
Day 19) Picture of a game setting you wish you lived in.Ritardando (Eternal Sonata)
I wouldn't mind living in a city like this! It's so pretty! <3 AAAAAAND all the music references throughout the entire city would make me gitty with excitement. There's one store where there's a pool in the middle of the floor, but it's shaped like a violin *w* I love it so much!
Simply put, Japanese RPGs control my life XD
Day 21) Game with the best story.
Hmmm...
Catherine
This game took "adult situations" to the extreme. The reason I chose this one for best story is because it's something that I've never seen in another game. The entire plot is based around Vincent who cheats on his girlfriend with some spunky young chick and because of that, he has nightmares every night where if someone dies in them, they end up dying in the real world too... It's a very interesting story that the player can control based off of their own morals or wants.
Awwwww :[
Dirge of Cerberus
TT^TT I'm sooo sorry, Vincent! You were always one of mah favorites! <3 but...but....I struggled so hard through that game! First off, I suck at shooters, secondly, I just...I don't even. Really, the only thing that somewhat saved the game was seeing Vincent's past and seeing him as a young Turk *w* EEEEEE! Such a cutie!
Day 23) Game you think had the best graphics or art style.
That's easy!
Okami
Most amazing art style! EVER!!! I LOVE how the art style represents old Japanese artwork! So pretty!
Day 24) Favorite classic game
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I always played this game for hours on end on our Sega Genesis :3 I miss it! <3 I did end up downloading it for my Wii. I need to play it again X3X
Day 25) A game you plan on playing.
Hyperdimension Neptunia
I'm not sure why these games appeal to me, but they do! It's probably because of the anime styled graphics and such *shrugs* I bought this game like a year ago and still have yet to play it TT^TT <--- trying to suffer through Resonance of Fate first...but yeah, I'll eventually get there!
*Ahem* so if you noticed, I changed this question from "Best voice acting" to "The worst in the world voice acting." There really aren't a lot of games I get excited about because of the voice acting (unless Liam O'Brian, Troy Baker, or Travis Willingham are in it!) so I can't really make a decision on which one I would think is the best...but I suppose if I did, I'd choose Catherine (since it has Liam O'Brian, Troy Baker, AND Travis Willingham in it *w*) buuuuut I think doing the worst voice acting would be more fun...because GAWD, does it make me angery >:[
Chaos Wars
Damn Straight! Chaos motherfuckin Wars T_T Whoever was in charge of the English dub of this game should be slapped in the face! I can't even CONVEY the horror I felt when I played this game. It almost made me weep in despair! Seriously! If you haven't heard the audio from this game...go look, NOW! Watch a video, and abhor it with every single cell in your body! ALL the voices are monotone, and friggin Yuri (as I concluded is my favorite character) sounds like a flamboyant gay man (nothing against the gay community) but being that he's such a womanizer, it doesn't fit!
....oh mother of God
X3X I DON'T EVEN!....I take that back, he doesn't sound exactly like a flamboyant gay man....he sounds like a douche bag who should be kicked in the face (BTW, they renamed him URU in this game, wth?!) Oh Gawd, NicolAI's voice (he's not fucking Nicole >:[ ) ...and KAREN'S voice *le gasp* ...as for this Shizuku chick...I don't even care, she's annoying.
JKFLSDJF:OEIJFLDSAKJD:FOEI
Way do DESTROY Shadow Hearts for me, Chaos Wars! Whoever made your dubbing needs to be brutally assaulted... with a bat...or something. GAAAAAAH *rage! RAAAAAGE!!!*
Way do DESTROY Shadow Hearts for me, Chaos Wars! Whoever made your dubbing needs to be brutally assaulted... with a bat...or something. GAAAAAAH *rage! RAAAAAGE!!!*
Calm down....calm down
Day 27) Most epic scene ever
The final boss fight in Persona 3
If you play the game, you'll understand. Right before this fight, you see a lot of screwed up shit that freaks you out, and then out of nowhere, you hear the remix of Burn My Dread (which always gives me goosebumps) and then this fight! *SQUEEE* There really isn't words to explain how excited I get over this fight when I play the game! :D
Bloody Roar 3
I generally don't care much for fighting games, but Bloody Roar 3 is mah fav X3X Probably because they can turn into beast people, and kick some ass... y'know, the AWESOME stuff XD
Ooooo hard one! Hrmmmm... It's probably a tie between:
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
SMT: Persona 3
and
SMT: Persona 4
