Vesperia's pretty good. A lot like Abyss and Symphonia but with some added stuff (like fatal strikes, which kill normal enemies in one hit). Plus, for like the first time ever, the skits (the short scenes made of talking heads and not much else) are voiced. I've played about ten hours. It's plenty of fun, but expect some familiarity since it's the same battle system.

Yeah, after everyone else gouged Tolten of all his abilities, I plopped Seth back in the party. I tried doing the Temple of Enlightenment.... HELL no. Not at level 65, I'm getting raped.
I really need to get Ming and Sarah using level 7 white magic. I need Zephyrus, because I'm wasting a ridiculous amount of MP on healing otherwise.
Granted, being level 65 for the main dungeons makes them incredibly easy. Grand Staff was a joke.

I haven't played brawl in ages. Honestly, I just haven't found it to be nearly as much fun as melee.
It could possibly be because you played Melee so much. While the leap between the original and Melee was greatly significant, turning a simple, imbalanced fighter into a more strategic, fast-paced fighter, the leap between Melee and Brawl wasn't nearly as far. Add on the fact that you've been playing Melee for nearly seven years and it's easy to see why you'd be tired of it.

Shout out for Lost Odyssey which ate like 60+ hours of my life (I loved at least 55 of them!). Go buy it cheap because no one else wants it!
I'm right at the end. Kaim, Sarah, and Ming have pretty much learned every skill I can possibly give them, and my main party (Kaim, Sarah, Ming, Tolen, Sed) is averaging around level 55. And now I find out that Cooke has her own tournament side quest... *sigh* Time to level her up.
Honestly, why her? She's level 40 and doesn't even have 1000 HP yet! She does like 150 damage with a physical attack at best, and even that's only against enemies which are so squishy Kaim can deal 2000.

I own it. It's awesome, and reminds me of Katamari in terms of progression. That is, the levels don't really get much harder, but the exploration is just so intense and the game so stylish that you fall in love with it immediately.
And despite his generic "radical" appearance, Blob is actually a pretty funny, neat character. I'm currently on stage 5, but I decided I need to BEAT some games before coming back to de Blob (Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, I shall vanquish thee!).

Punch-Out, Rune Factory Wii, and that Odin Sphere-esque game are what's got me most excited. I look forward to 2009.

This thread's title is misleading from the general forum.

I'm currently enrolled in a game design program at Durham College in Ontario, Canada. The ONE thing that was mandatory going into this course was the ability to draw. I needed a portfolio to prove I had artistic ability. That was it.
If you can draw, give it a shot. If you can't draw, you're better off looking into raw programming or business courses.

I take it you are too young to have played Super Mario Brothers 3, which is why you don't know A) the name of that fish and
how much more frightening he was in that game.So young.... so innocent...
Young? Feh, I'm 22. This was back when I was 10 or 11.
But I think the fish in SMB3 was named Gumper... And I raged when he would jump out and eat me. It just didn't have the same kind of fear attached to it, though.
-
When I was younger, 4 levels would freak me right out in Mario 64: Tiny-Huge Island, Dire Dire Docks, Jolly Roger Bay, and Ghost House.
In the first, it was that giant fucking fish that would eat you if you got close. In the docks, it was that big black hole that threatened to suck you in (and then it turns out you don't even die, you just get sent to the lake outside the castle!). Jolly Roger Bay had that huge creepy eel, and the Ghost House was just unsettling, with its music and the ghosts coming through the walls.
And yes, Endless Ocean scared me, too. In the Abyss, I once turned around and came face-to-face with one of the shark species there. I jumped a foot off the floor and felt very tense until I finally left behind that creepy place. Too bad I had to return a half-dozen times to find that freakin' whale (and I never did find out what lay beyond the geysers in the whale graveyard).

Wanna buy, but really busy with school and XBox, so I'll wait.
-
Considering no gameplay, art, music, characters, or concept is available at this time.... Sure, why not?
-
de Blob and Wario Land: Shake It are out now. Both got excellent review scores, it seems. I'll definitely be picking them up sometime soon.
-
Save it to an SD card first?
-
Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes, Endless Ocean.
If any of you are lacking any 3 of those games in your Wii collection, go get them now. They should be super-cheap and are some of the best 3rd party titles for the system right now.
-
Uh, no. Zack was in the first game, though only in flashbacks. It was pretty well established that...
1) Aeris and Zack dated before his death, and
2) Cloud took on Zack's memories.
So, no, it's not likely they planned that far in advance.
-
Shadow of the Bossus is freakin' hard.
-
I have a great idea, should they attempt this again: make a shop. Where one can buy trophies and stickers. Voila, the collection's there, and no cheap masquerade in place to needlessly extend the game time. Best of all, you can buy the ones you want and leave the rest for when you realize you've maxed out your coinage and can buy like 500 of the buggers all at once. Everyone wins!
-
So, I know this isn't really the goal of anyone else here, but how many stickers do you have now? I'm up to 654, which means 49 more to go. It's getting ridiculous, trying to earn any more. I tend to get one new sticker for every 50 or so I collect.
-
God, yes. I think my communication skills have increased tenfold since I started college.
I take an ethics course this year. Silly government laws mandating oddly-connected courses to supplement the main material. Last year was film studies.
-
Thank you for telling me this just before I head off to my final year at college for Game Development.
Granted, it's at an actual technology and arts college, so the stuff I produce might actually be worth a damn.
-
Throw in a "fuck you" for the Red Dragon miniboss guarding the Crystal Gloves, too. I spent an hour roaming around only to suffer death at his constant Thermal Ray spamming.
-
Edge can only wear gis or other cloth armours. I think I've found 2 pieces of body armour he can actually equip so far.
-
Well, dang, I must've missed the Cry augment.
And where is this omni-cast business? I'd sure like to find out.
That said, I'm on the robot CPU right now and his laser of doom kills Edge and Fusoya in one hit, everyone else in two. And of course Fusoya has the good grace not to gain any fucking stats on level-up, not even in HP. What the hell, seriously.

Totally understandable. I love the story, but the battles definitely leave a lot to be desired. Maybe if they make a sequel they'll spice it up a bit more.
