'The most awesome videogame character ever'?Its all very awesome. And now, I would like to say:
Arngrim is the most hardcore badass RPG warrior ever. I dont know where they dug up his VA either cause Arn SOUNDS like a battle hardened warrior of NORSE LEGEND OMG.
After 50 hours in Disgaea 2 youd think id be sick of grinding, but Valkyrie Profile 2 has given me a gajillion new reasons to keep at it. Im currently in chapter 3 of the game and am already at 20 hours. Lol. I know there's plenty of game yet, but a few things have me in a grasp that cannot be broken by MORTAL MEANS:
1.) Gotta Get Arngrim and his Special Lady Friend to level 30...each. Why? Well apparently you get some awesome weapons a little later in the game for doing so. Plus, leveling up is awesome. Almost everyone I have is level 20, save some podunk heavy warrior I just picked up.
Speaking of warriors, when you materialize at a weapon, who you 'get' is random. I was lucky enough to get both of the Archer Sisters. I dunno if theyre really sisters but they both have the same final strike and have the same stance and everything.
ALLS I KNOW is they hit like a fucking semi. God damn they're my favorite warriors, even stupid main story archer guy cant seem to come close. I like to have both of them in a party at once for ULTRA pain.
2.) Spheres and the Spheres that marry them. Next. I had taken a break from POKEMANZ Dungeon for daunting reasons I will elaborate on below. Little did I know VP2 ALSO had a collect em all aspect. Spheres. Each dungeon after 'the plains' which will be called 'the plains' to avoid spoilers but you'll know em when you see em...anyway each dungeon has spheres. There are utilitarian objects related to spheres:
Dias: Raises a sphere up, its effects affect the entire area, but not precious little you, motherfucker.
Shell: You can find spheres here, and well..do what you want with em.
YOU: Yes you can carry spheres around, multiple spheres actually. When you do they affect you.
Spring/Vein..whatever: Here is where you restore(buy) and store your spheres for later use in ANY DUNGEON with a spring/vein. Thats awesome.
Pouch: When found increases your sphere carrying capacity.
These spheres have all sorts of awesome effects. Whats not awesome is being under their influence before you get a hold of them. For example I carry around a sphere that adds poison to everyones attack, and a sword blessing that boosts me to 120% attack.
Tired of those wasp nests evading EVERY physical attack? There's a sphere for that too, just place the no evade sphere on a Dias and those wasps are teh fucked. Fire mountain fucking up yer ice spells? Carry the sphere that boosts ice spells to cancel it out.
Pokemanz, Pokemonz, I think im forgetting how its spelled...So my charmander Xenu hit level 31 booyah, still no evolve because apparently you cant evolve until after the main story is over and youre in the HUGE end game where you will suffer. I say suffer because youre looking at 99 level dungeons. 99.
Yes, a 9 and a 9. Endless dungeon crawling. Better hope you brought enough apples. Food is the least of your concerns in pokemanz dungeon tho. While the main story can be tough at times the game is in the end forgiving...at least till the main story is over. My main team is pretty badass and even the latest areas pose no problem.
The difficulties arise when you have to ESCORT level 1 pokemon through level 20 pokemon areas. You have to carefully use your movement points to navigate the dungeon while still being able to jump to your charge's rescue.
In any event at 20 hours I got my moneys worth, but im definately going to stick around and see how deep this Pokemanz Hole goes.
PS: Haha, so I was at gamecrazy and this dumb lady was trading in a DS Lite and pokemanz dungeon and they're like why dont you like this and she went on this rant about how it feels like its supposed to be turn based but its not and she wanted turn based.
Kids, pokemanz mystery dungeon is ENTIRELY turn based. Lol.
TIE YER FUcKIN lacEs!!!!!!!So yeah, Company of Heroes is awesome. I just...I play online and I have all these awesome fights, but I cant remember them. I mean I do remember them at awkward moments like the thanksgiving dinner table when I lurch into my mashed potatoes, under siege from some flashback of 'the war'. Needless to say, every time I tell my family its ok, just another flashback, I feel like I am losing my grip on humanity. Damn nazis.
