@overdrive @zigfried I will admit, though, that I'm tempted to get a WiiU thanks to Bayonetta 2.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer12:06 AM
@overdrive @zigfried I'm happy with a 3DS. PS4 and Xbox One sound like they are going to be distant purchases, if I ever get them.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer12:05 AM
@overdrive @zigfried I'm in the same boat. I still have a mountain of games from this generation (and the previous!) to play through. For now...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer02:37 AM
you play as a physically fit commando and bariatric zombies can outrun you.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer02:36 AM
to run instead? The tuck and roll is clunky and often more of a liability than an actual help. You know there's something wrong with a game when...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer02:35 AM
Dead Horde- Completed the third stage. I'm telling you, I hate the tuck and roll ability in this game. Why couldn't they just give you the ability...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer02:35 AM
Castlevania Legends- Killed the second boss very cheaply using the invincibility spell.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyer02:34 AM
Anna: Extended Edition- Got the lame ending you receive when leaving the house early. Think I might start over.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 21, 2013
@honestgamer @zippdementia @holdthephone I enjoyed it the first time I played it, but I don't think it'll be quite as good the second time around.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 20, 2013
ROTW 12 - 18 is up. And with that, I say g'night! No gaming, no writing, just sleeping.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 20, 2013
Made it through the second level of Dead Horde tonight, which was brutal, and started Demon's Crest, which is awesome thus far.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 20, 2013
I'm planning on doing ROTW tomorrow. We'll see how exhausted I am when I get off work.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 19, 2013
Not that I'm necessarily complaining about that. It's still a very good 2D platformer.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 19, 2013
Beat Gargoyle's Quest II this morning. The campaign was a lot like the Game Boy predecessor, enough that it basically felt more like a remake.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 19, 2013
Dead Horde- Started this recently. It plays like a slightly slower Zombie Shooter. Not bad so far, but not great either.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 19, 2013
Gargoyle's Quest II- Completed the labyrinth. Two more dungeons to go until the end.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 19, 2013
Played a bit of Godzilla: Kaijuu Daikessen for an upcoming review. I didn't play much, but I didn't recall the move sets begin so... limited...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 19, 2013
@holdthephone Yeah, probably. That and the fact that everything in the game is randomized, from level design to enemies you fight to bosses.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 18, 2013
I mean, I don't think it's terrible, but it certainly isn't great.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 18, 2013
Am I the only one who finds The Binding of Isaac overrated?
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 17, 2013
Finished Jericho. It's a good story unfortunately written around a tiresome shooter.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 17, 2013
recall. Mainly, I think getting the mechanics down again will be a pain in the ass.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 17, 2013
It shouldn't take me long to reqacuaint myself with that game, as it is a 2D fighting game. There's not much in the way of a story mode from what I...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 17, 2013
10-Yard Fight rough draft completed. I also plan to start Kaijuu Daikessen within the next couple of days and have a rough for that completed soon too
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 15, 2013
Up too late writing a Creepshow review. Why am I too stubborn to go to bed at a feasible time? WHYYY?
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 14, 2013
@Suskie @zippdementia @joseph was more suggestive than a blatant epilogue.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 14, 2013
@Suskie @zippdementia @joseph I also liked VII's ending. It left some unanswered questions (at least before Advent Children), but I like that it...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 14, 2013
Nearing the end of the WWII segment in Jericho. It's neat that you can switch between characters and experiment with their powers, but the game...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 13, 2013
@overdrive Argh, I hate Elec Man's stage. Even with spot on button response, I absolutely hate it!
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 13, 2013
@holdthephone @Suskie @zippdementia VI would be my top, followed by VII. I think I have to replay VIII - X to know where they fit.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 13, 2013
@Suskie @zippdementia @holdthephone played XIII or either of the MMOs. Oh, and The After Years sucked.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 13, 2013
@Suskie @zippdementia @holdthephone Haha, I don't know that I could rank the FFs, but the only ones I didn't like were X-2 and II. I also haven't...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 13, 2013
Played a bit more of Jericho. I've noticed that I spend a lot of time reviving people when in combat, rather than actually fighting. Outlook: not good
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 12, 2013
@overdrive @Suskie @holdthephone Yeah, many of NES's RPGs haven't aged well. At least III aged somewhat respectably in comparison to, say, Faria.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 12, 2013
@Suskie @holdthephone I liked III, but yeah, the job system isn't as good. I pretty much used the same four jobs from beginning to end.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 12, 2013
Finished CV: Harmony of Dissonance again. Haven't done much more than that in the last couple of days...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
Also started another freeware horror game called Haunt. It's a bit like Slender, except with an actual story and save points. Not bad so far.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
Started Castlevania Legends. Also mechanically solid, but levels feel needlessly fleshed out.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
Finished Belmont's Revenge. Fighting Soleiyu Belmont was a royal pain, but at least doable.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
@zippdementia @overdrive aren't quite as solid as the original PlayStation.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
@zippdementia @overdrive What version did you play? I ask because if it's the Annivesary version, that'd be why. I've noticed the mechanics on that...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
At the boss battle against Solieyu Belmont in Belmont's Revenge. This fight almost ruins the game. The boss has no pattern whatsoever.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 10, 2013
@zippdementia @overdrive Not a smooth? I always thought the mechanics were great. I also liked the snowboard stuff. Then again, I'm masochist...
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 09, 2013
@overdrive I like 8, but yeah, the voice acting is awful. Especially "Docto' Wi-wee."
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 09, 2013
CVII: Belmont's Revenge is pretty damn good. I can't believe I put off playing it all these years.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 09, 2013
Started and finished Alan Wake's American Nightmare in one sitting. All in all, it's a capable third-person shooter, and that's about it.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 09, 2013
@zippdementia Yes! Me too. Probably won't happen soon for me, though.
Joseph Shaffer @JoeTheDestroyerMay 09, 2013
@zippdementia Personally, I liked the Metroidvania CV games, but then again I like Metroidvania games in general.
