It always gives me a sense of progress and accomplishments. I love when this feature is implemented into other videogame genres such as puzzle games and action games.

They've been releasing way too many games, like 3-4 every 2ish months. I tend to buy a majority of NIS games, but this is becoming ridiculous. Hopes that they find their limit as well.

We were talking about how games always give you these really good items (like the mega-elixar) and how we never use it. I always save them for when I need it, but find myself never needing to use them. I guess this type of hoarding shows how I am afraid to take the easy way using limited (but successful) means, but instead take the more casual path. I have the chance to use the mega ether or mega elixar, but always back away and use a mega potion or some other form. Gaming just became a gateway to personal understanding haha.

Before a videogame helped those who were not inclined in other areas; a place to escape, such as the way books or art or music does. I believe this feeling allowed many of us to become emotionally attached to the characters, settings, and stories. Now that games are more accepted in modern day, we kind of lose the imaginations (possibly due to the developers trying to make games pleasing to everyone as well) we once held with older games.

Huge fan of her work, as well as her husband's. Great interview Roy. Can't wait to get my copy of black and white.

You're almost out of your Toddler stages! Also, I took a listen to Black Materia the other day, and was really impressed. Not being a rap/hip hop fan, I came in thinking "What is this going to sound like?" But ended up enjoying it a lot. Hopefully I can win myself a copy, but even if I don't, I will probably be buying this.

I'm so excited for Disgaea 4, and will probably be ordering one of those adorable prinny hats.

Also being a fan of Demon's Souls, I'll be anxiously waiting for news on this game.

Being one of the few PSP fans among my friends, it helped me put up an argument on how the PSP isn't bad.

I can't wait to think up an order. Would a prinny count as an animal?

But seriously, I can't wait until it comes out.

I am soooooo excited for this!

I instantly got addicted. It is such a fun game. I haven't went online yet, for the same reason as Gunthera1. I'm still a noob at the game though -.-. I guess I should play it more often. Fri, 2 Jul 2010 02:21:57 +0000 http://www.kotowari.org/monster-hunter-on-the-brain-replicators-and-resources/#IDComment84029075 http://www.kotowari.org/e3-2010-catch-up-metal-gear-and-versus/#IDComment81991876 For some reason the trailer made Rising seem way to easy. Being able to go slow motion and chop enemy to bits. Lets hope the harder difficulties allow some sort of challenge. MGS3 3DS looks pretty sweet. The graphics looks great, but I hope the controls turn out just as good. Versus looks really interesting, and free world seems pretty awesome, but random and spotted encounters seems kinda funky if you ask me.

(Anamanaguchi is amazing) I also like the color schemes of the 3DS they're pretty cool. The images were really cool, seemed like an Awesome time! :D Mon, 21 Jun 2010 05:28:27 +0000 http://www.kotowari.org/e3-2010-photo-post/#IDComment81179634 http://www.kotowari.org/e3-2010-day-3-square-enix-nis-america-and-the-end/#IDComment81172237 I like how absurd the responses were when you asked about The Fight. Basically they're like "I don't care if our game is good, as long as it works... cut us a break" I can't wait to hear what you think of Trinity Universe. I think I've gotten to the point where if the game is a NIS game, I'm probably going to buy it.

Sure everything is in 3d, but if I can't actually see the game what use is it? You'd think they would make clip-ons of some sort by now... oh well.
