Oh, and I'm straight edge, so liquor is out if the question, but I do consider making my first playthrough into a Let's Play.
From what I've heard of the game, that's the vibe I get. And I personally think the OST is much, MUCH more than OK. I'm a big fan of Hamauzu. And I'll probably jump into the other games in the trilogy if my brain doesn't explode because frankly, even though I know the story just keeps getting stupider, I have this thing that I need to see those things to the end. Plus, the gameplay is supposedly improved.
I advise you to drink liquor and abuse the game. At least it's pretty and it's OST is okay, I feel my real issue is that it had a lot of potential and just fled from it like a frightened child at every opportunity. I feel this is the most infuriating thing about XIII. It's not so much that it was a bad game, it's the fact it didn't have to be.
It's pretty simple really. Everyone talks about how terrible it is and it's easy to just jump on that bandwagon and scream along with other people. But it doesn't seem fair to do that if I don't really know if I enjoy it myself XD Also, it's the only numbered FF (MMOs aside) that I haven't beaten yet. I can't really call myself a hardcore fan of the series without having played it XD I also consider the fact that I may have a bit more fun with it, as going in I already know that it's all a straight line and the plot is dumb so
Why would you do that to yourself?
Oh, and I've recently preordered FFXIII On Steam. I will finally experience this trout firsthand
That's cool It's awesome how you get to do so much with gaming. I've never even been to a convention yet, despite there being one held in this city every year. I really wanna go next year. I actually have a close friend who works at CDProjekt - that's the company who works on the Witcher games. He does enjoy my stories and we have been talking about maybe someday making our own game together as well Hope everything works out for the best for you! Always looking forward to read anything you write as long as you're willing to share it
Not bad, finally got a temporary job doing sales for a high male fashion clothing line, they already want to promote me so that was nice. I recently did a panel at my annual convention on RPGs which is where I'm coming from in that thread since I've been spending time trying to be all academic about the subject. My novel is on hold due to a bit of writer's block and the last few weeks have been hectic so a routine I started a few months ago kind of went to hell but I plan on doubling my efforts this week on it. Hell, the P.T. demo inspired me to go back to writing the scenario for a Horror-Visual Novel game a friend and I were working on last year. Um... I think that is everything important at the moment.
It's really good now August has been really troutty for me (to the point that I had to go into therapy) but I am much better now. I got a job - I'm an English teacher now Hope I can keep it up as my final year of uni is upon me and I need to finish my MA thesis (gendered discourse in the Disney Animated Canon - yes, I'm having fun with it ). Still, I really like the job so far and hope it continues to be satisfying. I've also been drawing a lot lately, and my novel is also finally moving forward. I've also somehow managed to keep my weekly story schedule, so I'm pretty proud of myself. Having ready your stuff in that thread has got me thinking though, and I can see why BoB and Bolivar are grasping at straws - it really is hard to pinpoint for me what makes JRPGs special. But it's and interesting thought and I intend to ponder it some more And how are things on your side?
That is why I'm washing my hands of the thread, I already unsubscribed from it because I was talking in circles with both of them. I'll let others have fun with it. So how is life?
