11/09/2013 - General Update, Demon's Souls, Demon's Souls & more Demon's Souls

Good day! Sorry that I haven't been doing as many updates recently, I fell ill after my girlfriend's pizza party and I've been pretty sick since then, so, my bad. I managed to proofread, edit and publish my Future Diary review, but not much else.

Anyways, now that my brain and other organs are back under my control (too much information?), I decided to continue my second play through of Demon's Souls. New Game+ is enjoying handing my arse to me on every possible occasion, but I'm soldiering on through the endless hoards of Dreglings, Black Phantoms and believe it or not, Demon's.

The main problem with Demon's Souls is that it is incredibly repetitive. The environments may be quite pretty and well designed, when you can actually see them (Tower of Latria, ughhh). But otherwise, the enemy diversity leaves much to be desired, especially considering how different and challenging the boss fights are. Don't get me wrong, the game has a lot to offer in regards to side quests and the various World Tendencies, but it follows the typical Japanese game algorithm where 'grinding is winning'. I played World of Warcraft for 6 years, I can't be bothered with grinding any more. I'm enjoying my Blueblood Sword though, but one-shotting everything with Light Weapon and 99 Luck only stays fun for so long.

Tomorrow, I will be out for most of the day, but I'll make sure to save some time for gaming and working on  my The Last of Us review. Unfortunately due to the length of the review, it might not be published for a few days, so bare with me guys.

Another things to look forward to are the One Piece special, Episode of Merry. I just have to wait for Yibis to sub it, which could be a while considering how thorough they are with the fansubbing. The upcoming JRPG tribute game by Ubisoft, Child of Light, also looks incredible. With the interesting art style, turn-based combat and the sheer number of systems it's being released on, I can see it being a huge success.

You can check out the trailer for Child of Light here:

Sadly that's all I have to say for today, but I'm sure I'll have much more to post once I get done with Demon's Souls and start playing Kingdom Hearts HD. That's something I'm really looking forward to.
