[size=1]I'm not playing anything at the moment. I need to buy some new games (until I can get my hands on a ps3) so for the time being I've been watching walkthroughs of games. [b]Persona 3[/b] to be more specific. The main character is just now awakening (if you want to call it that). I've watched Persona 4 once before and comparing the 2 I can pretty much say that I think I'd like P3 over for when it comes to the characters. I don't really like any of the characters in P4. They just come off as annoying for some reason. I think if I were to get P4 it would only be because you get to control all your characters. I keep hearing that both games have a great soundtrack. I haven't heard its greatness yet. I don't really care for the J-pop songs I've been hearing. The more memorable stuff is when something begins to happen.
Other games in the backlog to watch:
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Mass Effect 1 & 2
God of War 3
Final Fantasy 13
Assassin's Creed 1, 2 & Brotherhood
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Edit:
Wow, [b]Bayonetta[/b] have some epic boss fights. I'd like to get my hands on this game. The combat looks more entertaining than God of War 2's combat. I won't say it's up there with Ninja Gaiden just yet but it does surpass God of War and it's up there with Devil May Cry. Cheesy dialogue along with an annoying little girl...
[b]Persona 3[/b] has an interesting story for sure. And this Pharos boy is one creepy kid. If I didn't know any better I'd say [spoiler]he's the devil[/spoiler]. Atlus needs to do a Death Note game similar to the Persona series.
Edit2:
Called myself trying to watch [b]Mass Effect 1 & 2[/b] but that game looks entirely too epic to watch. I need to experience that game in front of me rather than watch it. It's also too spoilerific watching it the way I was watching it. I normally don't care about spoilers and I also don't really care for story, but from what I saw I think I was understanding the gist of it and didn't want to spoil the rest of it any more than I already have... I pretty much just spoiled myself for [spoiler]what happens to some lady whose name I can't remember that you pick up on the battlefield[/spoiler]. Um, anyway, I didn't get really far in my progression of watching either games. I'd say I was close to 30 minutes in watching ME1 and a little over 30 in ME2.
I normally don't say this about videogame characters (nor anime or cartoon) but Miranda is quite a hot one, but she comes off as a total #####. But then again she's tough, and no damsel so I appreciate her a lot more lol.
These 2 games are probably the prettiest games I've seen on the Xbox 360 so far. Halo 3 was nice, but Bioware tops it with these Mass Effect games.[/size]
Edit3:
So I finally got a chance to get over to my brother-in-law's house yesterday and I got a chance to experience the PS3 for the first time. We played [b]Borderlands[/b] and [b]Super Street Fighter 4[/b]. Both games are quite something. I'm not completely sold on Borderlands though, at least not on the PS3. We had fun and while it is definately a nice game for those who has some pinned up rage to release, but for some reason I can't explain it, I'm just not sold on it. As for SSF4, we had a blast, especially when it was Ryu vs Ken. For me though, it's going to take a little bit for me to get used to. I have to get the hang of the supers and ultra's as well as doing those charge type attacks. I pulled some of them off randomly, but I'd like to know how to do it effectively and efficiently. Guy will also take quite some time to get used to playing as. So far my favorites are Ryu, Ken, Juri and Ibuki.
