So it's been a busy time for me. Thing is, can't talk about it on here, just yet. Which I guess almost defeats the purpose of the blog: the place where I can freely speak, post my opinions, ideas, etc. Let's just say it involves what happens next in my life, in terms of what happens next. If you know me well, feel free to contact me about this. Just keeping it off of here for now.
In the meantime, I just finished an interesting jRPG called "The World Ends With You" for Nintendo DS. It's basically a very quirky, story-based adventure of a young brooding individual who gets stuck in Shibuya. Basically, boy meets friends, boy finds out he's stuck in Shibuya, boy goes on quest to get out of Shibuya. Gameplay is not standard fare - rather, you control the main character (Neku) using the stylus on the bottom screen, and move your other player on the top screen. Sound confusing? It is!
The end result is kind of a button-mashing scribble fest, which works for the most part, but totally disorients at other times. The original soundtrack, which consists of original Tokyo club mixes was nice, but almost a bit repetitive at times.
The significance to all of this is that this is longest I've played a single game in quite some time. I think the last game I put this much effort into was Super Mario Galaxy last fall. Just not enough time these days to get 'em all done. Working on Okami slowly but surely these days... hopefully I'll make it!
