I got Assassin's Creed III and Lord of the Rings LEGO!
So I kind of LOVE AC3, it's so great so far and I just arrived in Boston! Oh my gosh, before that I was on a ship (and before that in the London opera house), and it was beautiful! I felt as if I was really looking at the Atlantic Ocean, it was so realistic. On the ship I got into brawls with sailors, got to play old types of board games, and even take part in a party XD They were singing so many shanties too, like "Haul Away Joe" while drinking and dancing, and I was like "DREAMS DO COME TRUE!"
I was reading some things on the game and people said that "Haul Away Joe" and "Haul on the Bowline" got stuck in their heads for so long XD
Now I'm in Boston (I haven't even gotten to the main storyline or New York or the frontier yet, that was all the intro!), and it's so amazing, I didn't even know where to start! I'm still exploring the harbor. I'm wandering around, petting animals, fishing, whistling, catching thieves, and picking locks, which is hard... I guess since it's not in my nature
I'm just going to explore for a while before doing the mission thing and go to the general store. Anyways, American Revolution here I come!
Just being able to be on a ship like that earned my love for the game
But the graphics and movement are a lot smoother, and I do like the gameplay.
EDIT: And I love the dogs and cats you can pet, they totally love you and follow you around, help you, and cuddle your feet XD I keep stepping on rats though, ew.
EDIT2: OMG GOATS, COWS, SHEEP AND TURKEYS.

Got myself a used red PSP in Akihabara and I'm currently playing Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I'd have thrown the PSP out the window already if I wasn't following a guide, it sucks if you don't know how to "treat" demons or how to spread the rumors lol...
Anyway, with guide it's pretty enjoyable but I wanna finish it already and start Persona 3 Portable and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together which I've already bought xDDD

Been about a year since I last touched FFXIII, so I decided to play it before I went to bed last night and see if this final boss strategy would work. It totally did and it was as simple as moving a Cherub's Crown from a party member onto Lightning. OTZ
Before that I played the Dragon Age games, thought those wouldn't be my type, but they turned out to be fun.
Hoping to rent a game over the weekend, like DmC or maybe Ni no Kuni . . .

I HAD TO RESTART LAST NIGHTflowersofnight wrote:Still stuck on La-Mulana too
Because I apparently got the game into an unwinnable state a couple months ago and it only came back to bite me now.
I also got "Pikmin 2" for Wii but it's kinda-sorta on hold till I make up some of my lost progress @_@

Lucked out in renting DmC on Saturday, then totally finished it on Sunday lol. It took me about 10 hours, so that's definately not worth the $50 price tag. The gameplay was actually good and the introduction of using a grapple hook on objects/enemies was interesting (are you trying to be a Belmont, Dante?). The level designs are pretty good too, nice detailing. Style ranking is more or less intact. The story is just so-so, I didn't feel it had anything A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to it.
The boss fights before Mundus felt more "epic", so Mundus seemed boring in comparison . . . or maybe it was because I played on Easy Mode, idk. I'll have to try the different difficulty modes to see. Imo, classic DMC's Mundus did emit that "godly" aspect that a grand boss fight should give.
So this reboot wasn't so terrible to me, it did keep me entertained and it made me laugh a few times. Who knows if the sequel will do the same.

Now onward to "Pikmin" at last
Replaying TERA since it went F2P, frigging awesome game!
Also almost finished Persona 2 although I haven't liked it that much, even if I've been playing for 60+ hours already...
Still have Persona 3 Portable and Tactics Ogre: Let us cling together untouched.

Argh, I rented FF XIII-2 last week and it had to be returned today, even though I was on the last episode and I really wanted to complete it. Put in around 50+ hours, so not too bad for a week's rental time I guess.
This sequel was much more fun than I thought it would be! Love all those options and extras that was added in, makes replay a must. Definately want to buy a copy now.
Before that I was playing a bit on my PSP with Mimana and Gods Eater Burst. I'm at the last boss fight on Mimana, but the bossy bastard kills me with its ultimate attack and so I turned to Gods Eater for a break.

Dynasty Warriors 8 is coming out this year!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OgZQFmb9Sg
I hope they come out with the US trailer soon because I want to understand what's happening. I like the narrator though. SHIN SANGOKU MUSOU, SEBUN!!! The intro song is so nerdy XD
One of my favorite things from DW7 was the seamless cutscene->game play, and I'm glad they're keeping it. Along with the animals you can bring into the fight like elephants and tigers and... pandas. I also like that you have more choices on what to do and you can even build up towns! The "what if" stages sound cool along with the improved fighting moves! WEATHER EFFECTS WOO! I still can't get over how now you can swim in the games XD It better come out for the XBOX 360 too or I don't know what I'll do, it looks really cool! ;_;
My friend and I found out yesterday that we both played Dynasty Warriors. We talked about the early voice actors and about "IT'S... IT'S LU BU! AHHHHHHH" that happened in every single game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHn1FzhE1EY
The voice acting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4ne241pyIs
The screams of terror and anguish XD
She also remembered Zhuge Liang as "really majestic" and his "long flowing hair" and I said, "YESSSS. *fangirls*" As I was talking to my mom she asked me when Dynasty Warriors 4 came out, and it came out on March 23, 2003, I can't believe it's been 10 years! Holy toledo.
I also need to buy Orochi Warriors 2 and 3. Those are fun especially because it's a Three Kingdoms/1500s Sengoku Japan crossover with the warriors from both eras fighting together against some weird alien forces that drop in one day led by this evil Orochi monster. But some have joined the dark side or have gone missing. It's fun to see them all confused. In the 3rd one you can even play with Joan of Arc and Achilles.

Finished with "Pikmin 2" (as much as I'm going to for now) Next up: got "Kid Icarus Uprising" for El Dia Valentinario so I've been hustling to finish that or mostly finish before...
THE GAME 4
comes out in a week XD

I have a stack of new (to me) games sitting on top of my 360 including Eternal Sonata, Darksiders and the new Hitman game, but I can't tear myself away Dragon's Dogma - which I've spent like 300 hours on in the past few months. It's like Skyrim crossed with Dark Souls, though not as huge as the former and not as infuriating as the latter.
OMG they just posted the cover of the fourth Assassin's Creed game!!
HOLY CRAP PIRATES IODSFMOIJ!U@**!@
This is going to be a good year, I can tell I've barely played ACIII and now they're already doing this, I'm so excited!! LIFE IS SO GOOD. It'll be officially announced on March 4th~!
Meanwhile, I finally got my PS2 emulator to work (with emotional support from Wandering Fox XD) and now Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII, one of my favorite games ever, is playable!
I feel so accomplished that I finally got this to work, it was such a pain that I was contemplating buying a PS2 slim here... and a TV XD

Recenty finished Atelier Rorona and only ended up with a character ending. There are way more endings to get though, but I don't know if I want to do all that. I'm replaying it again in hopes of getting the good ending + 2 character endings.
Kinda want to rent a game this weekend, either Ni no Kuni or Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. I read that pulling out robot spinal chords is kinda fun, but I'd want Raiden to cut all the watermelons in the game.

Currently playing Ni no Kuni and it's very entertaining, charming. The animation scenes are really nice and the environment is beautiful, colorful, and detailed. The voice work is pretty nice imo with all the accents, if you choose english. Since Studio Ghibli was involved, I could certainly see inspirations from their movies in this game (The Cat Returns, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle so far).
Gameplay could range on one strategy to multi strategy depending on how one likes to game. You having to be quick on shuffling through your commands though. I think it's a great game for any RPG lover!
And around two weeks ago I finally got to play Metal Gear Rising, a great hack-n-slash game. There's a bit of things I couldn't achieve, but replays make that possible. Seems like a game that some hardcore gamers could get angry at, ie extra difficulty level and obtaining S Rank on battles, lol.

I'm in the postgame on Etrian4, and also picked up "Luigi's Mansion 2" for 3DS, which I only played a little of so far.
Also got in the plug-in adapters for Retrode:

The only "retrogaming" accessory that's not cheap garbage.
Oh, and I also got:
