    Picked up Chrono Trigger DS again. Finished the rather boring Lost Sanctum and all 3 Temporal Vortexes to find that your reward is some badly written fan-fiction and a fight against Lavoschala who is barely harder than Phase 3 Lavos. Then there’s a really short cutscene and video that attempts to bridge CT to the AWFUL Chrono Cross. Lame.

    Got The Dark Spire for DS yesterday, loving it so far. Game is fucking brutal: I’ve had to restart completely once because I blew all my cash on revives and still had 2 people dead. Even now with a little experience under my belt I still have to reload my saves every 10 minutes. Overpriced antidotes kick my ass.

    Picked up the DS version of Broken Sword. They did a pretty good job of adapting the game for the stylus, not sloppy at all. Looks good too. I’m a sucker for point-n-clickers.

    “If you get hurt, I’ll wash out your wounds with salt water!” Wow, your mom (or not, or whatever) is awesome. But holy annoying english VAs batman; game muted ftw.

      I don’t care how awesome this game theoretically was, it is by far the worst voice-acted game in the history of bad voice acting. Preferring Chaos Wars VA itt.

    • Rendakor 7:14 pm on March 24, 2009Permalink

      Yea it seemed like the voices were sped up or something. I don’t know what was going on, but I was not amused.

    How is it that ChronoTrigger is cooler and more interesting than any Square game since the 2D era ended? It sure as hell isn’t Toriyama. Must be the quick pacing and interesting minor characters, like the monsters in the monastery.

      Final Fantasy VI is cooler and more interesting than any Square title that came before OR after it. Short of maybe Vagrant Story. So uhmmm, yea.

    • Itto 7:42 am on March 24, 2009Permalink

      It’s Toriyama.

    • Yegolev 9:38 am on March 24, 2009Permalink

      I have decided that it is the quick pacing (suck it, Lost Odyssey) coupled with interesting and non-standard gimmicks.

      Also, you know I’m a FFIV man. Not to detract from FFVI… except to put it below IV, keke.

    • fabricated 4:16 pm on March 24, 2009Permalink

      I like Chrono Trigger more playing it on the DS now with a more competent translation since the dialog makes the characters seem like they give more of a shit than they did in the original. FF6 is still better however. Heh.

      The extras don’t impress me much since the Lost Sanctum is -really- poorly designed.

    Chrono Trigger! I barely remember this game but it is completely awesome. I also see where Blue Dragon got a few of the mechanics it implemented.

    Rittai Picross and then, hopefully, I pass the hell out. A full night of sleep would be good.

    Important Fact Alert: Rittai Picross might be the best DS game ever. *broadcast terminated*

    I think I’m gonna log an hour on Rittai Picross (trailer: http://bit.ly/1IB0Ru ). Despite feeling useless today, I managed to be somewhat productive.

    Going to watch Achilles and the Tortoise and then flip a coin between the terrible lag of Mana Khemia PSP and the terrible mediocrity of Suikoden Tierkreis. The question is, which will let me down less?

     

    • Rendakor 9:59 am on March 14, 2009Permalink

      How is Mana Khemia? Are the PSP and PS2 versions the same game, or is one a sequel?

    • schild 5:47 pm on March 14, 2009Permalink

      Oh god, it’s so hard to talk about without getting angry. Think of a poorly compressed version of the PS2 version. It’s totally unreal how poor the port is. I don’t know what the fuck is going on over at Gust. I know NISA doesn’t do the ports in-house, but rather the dev studio responsible does, and something is shitty in Gust-Town.

      Yes, they are the same game.

    • Rendakor 9:51 pm on March 14, 2009Permalink

      Ok, so: is the PS2 version good?

    • schild 10:10 pm on March 14, 2009Permalink

      Passable. Like all Gust games, it has its own flaws.

    Avalon Code is a terrible pixel-hunt disguised as a deep RPG. I’m done with it.

    Done messing with code. Don’t want to write dialogue for my game. Avalon Code calls.
