Gaming is boring.
QuoteGaming is boring.
Fixed.
I haven't followed videogame "news" since I high school. Games come out, I play them, the end. If you're bored on the internet, just link surf Wikipedia.

amen. i don't even read gaming sites beyond the bore. if i hear about a game that sounds interesting i can check some vids on youtube (or stoney's threads), if i wanna see what a publishers working i can check wiki, if i wanna know what games people are talking about in such and such genre i ask the bore. boom i just stopped wasting hours of my life skimming useless media and boring impressions on gaming sites.

By "gaming news sites" I sort of meant this forum and gaf forum, not actual news sites. I haven't been to any game related site besides gaf/bore in a decade. Gaming side of the bore has been really slow lately. Off-topic too :|

I stopped paying attention to game "journalism" years ago.
what's there to talk about, bebpo? i'm at work 3/4 the day and the rest i'm either jerking off or playing games.

Sounds like my life.
I dunno, I liked when we had gaming discussion on this forum. But I guess that was back when there were actually interesting games being released instead of sequel #1330 and remake #5643.
lol, Bebpo does play a lot of imports... which really doesnt help any of us.
Buy Chaos Rings 2 and play it with me. This game is awesome.

Bebs and I seem to always play DIFFERENT imports.

Because you are still anti-portable gaming in this day and age and all of Japan has moved to portables :(
I'm getting ready to play Risen 2, like a boss.

Is it better than CR1? I tried picking that up again when I was sick in bed and I got like 1 dungeon further but got bored again and dropped it. There was nothing too wrong about it but it just wasn't a compelling game that made me want to get further in the story. Is CR2 more like a real rpg?
two questions
1. do the areas have more stuff to do than solve shitty puzzles and find random treasures?
2. does the game recycle content as much as the 1st or does it have as much original content as a standard jrpg would have?

It does SO MUCH MOREEEEEEEEEEE than CR1, it is a sequel by any meaning. But... it still follows the same format - hub area, different "levels" - etc.
But they nerfed stuff, improved stuff, made it easier to use... it's worth the $20, better quality than most DS/PSP games.
Wait for next-gen.Yes, wait until Q4 next year. Launch games that play kinda crap but look pretty! :hyper
I stopped paying attention to game "journalism" when they all of a sudden started to deride Japanese games to circle-jerk over the latest "indie cred" shitheap or bland "cinematic" "AAA" title.
One of the nice things about being primarily a retrogamer is I have a 30 year library of games to keep me busy, so I don't have to constantly wait with baited breath for updates.
it's April. one of those months where everyone is just digging into a backlogged title or an old favourite or something while they wait for bigger releases. one of those months right before e3 so the companies are mostly sitting on their news.
I mean, I'm playing Ys 6 and Etrian Odyssey 3 right now. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on this forum playing those two games right now. Not much to talk about there.
Go play some vids, man. You sound depressed.
It's all pretty dull lately.
Stratum 3? The molten caves? You mean that big robot boss? I took him down in one go.
My party is Hoplite/Ninja, Gladiator/Buccaneer, Monk/Princess, Princess/Farmer, and Zodiac/Ninja. Hoplite used Line Guard and Bodyguard to cover defense, Gladiator smashed with her club, Monk kept everyone healed and when she wasn't busy with that, smashed with her club, Princess buffed and put Ice (boss's weakness) on the Gladiator's weapon, and assisted with items where needed, and Zodiac cloned himself and fired dual Ice magic at the boss. When he charged up his attack, I just made sure everyone was healed and blocked (well, the Hoplite did Line Guard). Not even the Zodiac died.
I mean, he wasn't easy or anything, but he followed a really rigid pattern and had an easily-exploited weakness. If I had needed to go at him a second time I would have just equipped my guys with Bash charms to turn that big attack of his into a dead fish. As for it taking five minutes to reach him, if you have all the shortcuts unlocked and use that skill that stops random attacks, it's more like two minutes. And you can bring tents to completely heal up just before him, too. You need to stop being such a baby, man. You'll grind for hours to unlock dumb shit in other games, but have to walk to the boss again when you die and it's the end of the world because Atlus made it.
Anyway, I'm futzing around in the fourth stratum right now, just finishing up quests and stuff.

don't hate on indie >|
There's a lot of retro styled indie titles to enjoy.
I dunno, I think I need a new hobby as following the game industry has gotten really boring lately. Playing games is still fun, but I need something to browse while on the internet and with gaming news leaving me dry and off-topics being kind of slow lately I am getting bored of the internet.

I don't know what to tell you, magoose. If you got taken out by his first attack and you were under Guard Order and blocking, I have no earthly idea how you even *got* to him. He was taking out about 60% of my guys HP with that attack and I not only didn't spend time grinding, I actually had rested three of my guys, so I was kind of underleveled. There are like a million different ways to break EO3, all you have to do is find one, haha.
But sure, you're going to die sometimes. Particularly if your party isn't set up with diverse strengths, you can run into trouble with FOEs and bosses. You'll get game overs sometimes. You'll lose progress sometimes. That's called "challenge", man. It's what makes the games worth playing. How you can sit through 50 hours of horseshit for Star Ocean 4 but grouse about a five minute walk in EO3 is beyond me.

I'm a pretty big supporter of indie games but think a lot of them are less accomplished than the games that inspired them, and I don't find the artfag indie stuff terribly interesting from a design or gameplay standpoint. The artfag stuff is the stuff that usually gets all the praise on them... you'll see people blow their load over mechanically bland stuff like Fez and Limbo, but you won't hear anything about Orbitron Revolution, Protect-Me Knight, Apple Jack, or Shoot 1UP - indie games with solid gameplay but no pretentious postmodern hipster bullshit thrown in to look cool.
