Son of a submariner!
So, video game times. I was in the mood today for the punching and kicking shit up genre. But because I'm a magpie with sun in Gemini, instead of taking action games I have began, I picked new oldies that I got/downloaded/borrowed a while ago and never tried. I have gathered so many PS2 games I don't know which ones to play, really.
1. I remembered I downloaded the Prince of Persia Trilogy compilation, and jumped at Sands of Time. This was sweet! Frustrating sweet but hey, what are platforms without falling and swearing a lot? What I didn't love was when I got stuck in a room, not because I had nowhere to jump, but because it was massive respawning enemy showdown.
Some zombie whores killed me. Repeatedly.
2. Fuck this shit, I'll go with God of War I. May I remind you that I bought a second-hand copy which didn't stop loading before the first miniboss. Well, I got it changed, and on that day I played up till the Hydra. I retook it today and got until the port of Athens.
...It got stuck on loading again! I swear, there's someone who doesn't want me to play this! Is it ARES himself?! IS IT BECAUSE I SAID YOU SCREAMED LIKE A SISSY IN THE ILIAD?! I'M NOT TAKING IT BACK. DOUCHEBAG.
3. Screw hack 'n slash. Let's see what Beyond Good and Evil is all about. I still haven't got to the plot yet, but I'm truly digging it so far! I can't exactly say why I liked it yet, though. Sadly I wasn't in the mood at the moment, so I'm saving it for another day.
4. Later in the evening I wanted something slow and even more (more?!) retro, so I fetched my SNES emulator for pixel RPG. I remembered how I got stuck stupidly in the first few minutes of Final Fantasy VI (or III, whatever). I was all "eh, why not", and popped it in. I survived an hour, which is impressive.
No, you know what's impressive? Me liking the characters so far. IN A FINAL FANTASY GAME.
...Edgar is so my kind of character ♥ With only half an hour of knowing him, I know that much.
