This is not a real update, and we will soon be returning to the regular updating schedule! But I feel I need to get this off my chest. So. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days!
Otherwise known as, "The Game in which Roxas eats three tons of ice-cream." I mean, seriously, I was so sick of the clock tower animation by like...half-way through the game. They could have at least made it really pretty animation, considering they recycled it so many times.
I don't know why I didn't get that a mission-based game would be an actual, y'know, mission-based game, but I didn't and man, do I hate mission based-games. :( I am a slave to save points! I know I have a problem. But that doesn't stop the general mission-based game hate. I mean, this was kind of better in that if you died, you didn't have to do the whole mission again, but...not being able to fiddle with your equipment/restock on potions in the middle of a mission? SUCKS. D:
I HATE THAT ONE TWILIGHT TOWN MISSION. ARGH SIX BOSSES- WHAT- WHAT ARE YOU EVEN. UGH.
Actually, quite a few of the bosses were really hard in this game. Infernal Machine, Leechgrave, both of the fly-y ones in Neverland (although it's super-cool that you can fly everywhere in this game, trying to fly and fight a boss when the camera can't keep up with you is not cool. Take note, Squeenix! Not cool.) In fact, the camera basically sucked throughout the entire game. But it sucked more when you're flying/running frantically away from bosses.
ahhhhhhhhhh having to fight Saix again, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
LOL AXEL'S REAL NAME IS LEA LOL LOL LOL I am so never getting over that.
The whole Axel/Saix thing was completely unexpected, but kind of cool. I guess we've got to wait for BbS to find out the whole backstory thing.
Also panels. I kind of warmed to them. A tiny bit. I played practically the whole game with the same set up though: Nimble Gear+, that ring you get given, DoubleCure + LvCure + LvThunder, TONS OF HI-POTIONS, and a couple of Hi-Ethers.
As a game it was totally not what I was expecting. Xion was surprisingly okay! (even if the whole face thing was really freaky.) But the general set-up could have been SO AWESOME and I feel like it kind of got lost in the Roxas Angst, which should like be its own special brand or something.
However, any game in which you can team up with Demyx to do missions is still pretty freakin' awesome. DEEEMMYYYYYXXX. WHY SO RIDICULOUSLY LAZY.
....yeah. I think that's all.
