I played Chrono Trigger, I can say it wasn't a bad game and definitely better than most SNES games.
It never appealed to me that well, I got bored early in the game.

If you like JRPGs, Vesperia will not disappoint, you'll love it.
In speaking of Vesperia, another update.
I'll be joining the Yeager fan club, he is by far my favorite human boss.
Yeager got it on the first try, Alexei got it on the second.
Ghost Wolf and Rita Lock (OL, spam spells) was my best friend vs. Alexei, he killed me on my first try because he's faster than he looks and after Estelle being the Sole Survivor of "I'm an asshole" (Brilliant Cataclysm) for the second time in a row, I OLed and proceeded to cast Resurection, when he ran up and strengthened that pimp hand.
Why didn't I use a life bottle? Well, I entered the fight with a low item count as it was, because I wasted more than half of my life bottles, fighting that Giga Monster.
I went into the Alexei fight with my mind set on not using any life bottles unless my OL gauge was empty, and it wasn't.
I hate Sodia even more now.
If I don't see her sanctions in the game, I'll have to compensate with evil and immoral thoughts of her.
Like with what I did with Freya and Lenneth.
I'm twisted, I know.

Unleashed update, got an S in Spagonia, I did Shamar, Empire City, and the Day and Night stages of Adabat, with a hard assail boss to look forward to.
I maxed out the Ring Energy lvl.
That's about it.

Every member of this crew but me fails at life now.

I beat Sonic Unleashed, now I'm just trying to get to max lvl and earn S Rank on stages, which is all going well.

On a Vesperia note, I just beat Flynn, a fight that I've been psyched about for the longest time--and it was shamefully easy.
We exchanged some blows, overlimited, and beat each other's asses, but aside from the novelty of it being an epic showdown between best friends/rivals, it was far too unenjoyable, because it was too easy.
I only used like 3 Lemon Gels and a Magic Lens.
There was no tension at all.

I recently found out that I'm too late to be eligible to enter the EX Dungeon, guess I'll have to do it on my second playthrough.

Kratos, you got lucky.

On a positive note, I am going for the fell arms, I only need two more, both which I learned was in the very dungeon I'm heading to now.
Spiral Draco--*laughs*
I'm bringing Raven back, getting to know him better again, I'll pick Judy again up soon enough.
And then to go along with my fetish of mastering all playable Tales characters in their game, I'll move on to Estelle, Rita (easy enough), and Karol--who seems a bit hard to grasp.
Someone reply dammit.

Good for you. Personally, I don't know how you endured the torture.

It all depends on how good you are or your level, because I thought it was a pretty enjoyable fight.

Karol sucks. Too slow and unwieldy to be controllable, especially when fighting higher level monsters.

Someone reply dammit.

Done and done.

360 version is the sex.
Wii version is torture.

No, Flynn at the little camp.

Then I must be epicly awesome at the game then, which isn't a surprise since I'm a Tales veteran.
At Grey's request I even did the fight again on Hard mode, it lasted longer, it was harder to combo him and I used more Lemon Gels, still kinda easy, but much more satisfactory than normal mode.

and Karol--who seems a bit hard to grasp.

Karol sucks. Too slow and unwieldy to be controllable, especially when fighting higher level monsters.

He doesn't suck, he just takes skill.
Like Presea.

Someone reply dammit.

Do it again, consistency is needed.

Consistency is over-rated.

So, I've maxed out my Stealth and Repair in Fallout 3..... WAAAY too easy to steal stuff. I feel so guilty, I give it back, and I even leave them a 'present' ;)

anyways...

Burnmaster- I kinda have a love/hate relationship with this gun now that I've found and used it. Sure, it satisfies the pyro in me, but it's a heavy b*tch, and doesn't seem tat much better than a regular flamer.

Sydney's SMG: Probably the best gun to use for those pesky 10mm bullets. I hardly use them anymore, but it's still fun to use it on Rad-Scorps and Mole Rats.

Eugene: HAWT. Managed to scout nearly ALL of DC in total safety with this. Not as great as Vengence, but I have WAAAY more ammo for Eugene.

I've also taken to not using VATS so much. Sure, with single shot guns, melee, and 'nades I use it, but unless I need to systematically pick off their bal- I mean, limbs, I just aim and shoot now.

Thats all just opinion. One mans trash is another mans treasure.

I like the one piece games for gamecube, but thats just my opinion, many others thought that they were bad. Same thing with Sonic Riders, I love that game but thats my opinion.

Hm, so when did your sole opinion become solid provable fact? I must have missed the memo.

See my last question.

Sonic didn't make the 3D transition as well as he could have, but I've managed to enjoy some of them ^^;

ANYWAYS.

So yeah, found out that Barkskin (or w/e) perk in Fallout DOESN'T give me +1 END. Not a -big- deal, but I was kinda hoping to get my END to 10. Now not only am I sacrificing a point into Intense Training to get the Lawbringer perk so I can get that one Unique brass knuckles, but I also can't get my END to ten. Well, there goes my 'All to 10 that matter' build. D`OH >.<

The build I had would have gotten me to 10 in STR, PER, END, AGL, and LCK. Now just my STR, PER, and LCK will get to 10, boo >:(

Bah, screw it. probably going to start Fallout all over again since I found out I have to share an account with my bro so we don't have to pay for two accounts for XBOX LIVE. I guess it'll give me a chance to check out a build where I have CHR at 1 and INT at 3 to start.

I'll swim to Rivet City to grab the INT bobble immediately.

Also, what's the Dollar:Microsoft Points ratio? I want the Fallout DLC, but not if it's going to be like buying a whole other game.

I'd like to know that too.
I beat Vesperia, went back, completed the fell arms, got Final Gale and Frigid Blast, and I can't beat his 3rd form, I can barely get past his second.
My last time fighting him, I accidentally left the game on hard more, when I was trying to grind a few levels, so when going up on second form, I wondered, "why do I feel like I'm getting nowhere here?"
The small widescreen optimized font, I couldn't make up his health points, so using another magic lens, I saw that his HP was over a mil, and I was a little below half way through, keep in mind the fight went on to this point for about a half hour.

This is gonna be tedious, especially since I can't access the Labyrinth of Memories, which would have done well to shoot me up some levels.

I'd say it's roughly 1:80. $5 gets you 400 MS Points, $25 gets you 2000. If Operation Anchorage and The Pitt cost 1200 MS Points, that's just $15 and if they're 1600 points, that's $20. Considering Fallout 3 was $60, those three announced expansions might add up to the price tag of the game itself. Let's just hope they're worth it.

to beat duke 3rd form on normal you'd have to be lvl 85 or so, and yeah its is tedious...wait how come you cant access the hidden dungeon? you just have to go to pharoh's place crag..and do some events and poof...oh yeah i think you need some book too...

I almost beat him.
I'm in my mid/early 60s and I chipped him down to 5 digits, preventing his healing, but then it all went to hell when he used Brave Vesperia.
Yuri and Raven dying I can handle, but he healed 150,000+, pretty much putting my efforts to waste. With what little battle control I had now gone, we quickly fell one by one.

I can't access Memory Hell because according to every walkthrough I saw on the internet, in order to be eligible to even enter, I needed to go to Phareoh's Craig BEFORE entering the Shrine of Zaude for the first time.

That's where I was when I beat him. But that was only his first 2 forms. Are you using Black Onyx or Alexandrite?

Raven has the Alexandrite (I think), Yuri has the Fairie Ring, Estelle has the Emerald Ring and Rita has a Mystic Symbol.
One thing that DoNW has over Vesperia: You can equip two accessories.

True. I gave Yuri the Alexandrite and gave all other party members Black Onyx. Made everything so much easier.

After all, 3500 HP to 5000 is a huge gap.

I don't have a problem staying alive until the 3rd form.
If by some chance someone dies, I'll OL with Estelle and spam Resurrection and other healing spells.

Yeah, I was never phyched about the game, but that SO charm is hard to resist, so it's high on the priority list.
That charm made me go back to 3 more times than my dignity cares to mention.

all hail the pro, and yeah we are still getting star ocean 4....oh man the reason is hillarious.

Beat him.
Level 85 my ass, 20 levels short and I did it, I rock that much ass.

I optimized everyone's (Yuri, Estelle, Raven, and Rite) skills to keeping Duke still and dishing out as much damage as possible, while at the same time, keeping our HP and TP as full as possible with as little use of items.
Needless to say, it worked.
I made Yuri into a true number machine, using Arte skills that dished out the pain.
Shining Fang, Dragon Swarm, Shining Fang, Azure Storm, Shining Fang, Frigid Blast = 35 hit combo and over 25k damage alone, and that's not counting Raven casting Havok Gale, Rita's Violent Pain, and Estelle's Angel Ring.
Samuel L. Jackson got his ass whooped and no amount of Spiral Draco can change that.

Starting a new file, EX file, Unknown on the combo settings.
Wish me luck.
