LoL: Episode 17: Getting lost.
by: Major Chavez on 17-Aug-2008 11:51:01 AMThe last RPG that I played and that I truly fell in love with was FF 10 and 10 part 2. I became engrossed in the story and I was sucked in like a dyson..... or a thai hooker.
Despite it being a Jay- RPG, which i usually hate as the characters will usually start crying such vast amounts of tears, you could give all the 3rd world'; digg_topic = 'Xbox';
The last RPG that I played and that I truly fell in love with was FF 10 and 10 part 2. I became engrossed in the story and I was sucked in like a dyson..... or a thai hooker.
Despite it being a Jay- RPG, which i usually hate as the characters will usually start crying such vast amounts of tears, you could give all the 3rd world countries enough she-male tears to do them for generations. (if you just laughed at that, your a sicko) And they cried because someone ate their cake from the fridge and the she-male was mighty looking forward to it for brekkie.
And so along came Lost odyssy. I bought this game because A) I heard it was good, B) I had nothing else to play at the moment and C) because it was cheap. I was dubious about the game as it came in 4 (count 'em 4!!!) discs. The last time I played a game that came in discs was...... Metal Gear Solid for the PSone. I didnt quite understand as to why there were so many discs. Surely this game couldn't be so long? surely this game couldn't have feature length cutscenes in full HD? Surely this game couldn't be the biggest bang for my buck since the afore mentioned Thai Hooker? I was looking forward to finding out.
Once the game was loaded into the disc drive (which is becoming more and more of a hassle every day) I started a fresh game and after a few moments the first cutscene came on.
It was the most wierd thing I have ever seen. Men in armour with helmets the size of..... a big thing came out of these wierd fart-powered chariot. It was a this moment I thought it might be better just to chuck the disc in the air and hit it with a baseball bat. But I perservered, if only for the reasons I was interested in seeing whether or not they stuck their mammoth helmets anywhere and because I paid good money for this game. I was pretty glad I did. Just as I was losing attention of the game and was starting to watch a fly wizz around my room the game thrust me back into the action when a very skinny metrosexual lad started running around thebattlefield and giving everyone and everything a good slashing of his sword.
After that, I started to get intriuged in the story. I won't ruin it for you, but at the moment I am about 5 hours into the game and it's quite enjoyable. But why must every RPG feature impossible bosses that need more firepower than the US Army to defeat? And why must there always be some slightly hot but chirpy female character who pretends to be a badass but pulls it off as well as The Jonas Brothers and their Purity Rings?
Now being stuck at the second, thats right, only the second boss battle, I have decided to set it aside or else I will try to flush my xbox down the toilet... just like when I showed my PSone when it decided It wouldn't let me complete Spyro because there was a microscopic piece of dust on the disc...

And that is why I will never, ever, EVER get into J-RPGs. Never been a big fan of androgyny in my video games. Although, not every character has to look like Marcus Fenix either....

While it is just drowning in more drama than some trashy american programme (Days of our lives for example), it still sucks you in. If the bosses were slightly easier I may have the patience for more of these games. There an unusual genre of gaming for me as I don't like them, but they intrigue me, much like that piece of mouldy cheese in the fridge that you should have thrown out and not eat, but yet you look at it and wonder, "How bad can it taste?" Then you taste it, it tastes quite nice, very mature. Then the after taste comes in and ruins it. I would recommend Lost Odeyssy if only for the story, but you have to be in the right frame of mind. It's really captivating drama, but the bosses just ruin it for me... Shame. --------------------------------- "Man, shooting cops and getting Head never gets old"- Gunnz; Netcast #54 |

| Posted: 3 months ago Sounds good ... for some people. Me? I see moldy cheese, and I throw it out. Maybe that makes me too 'American'?  --------------------------------- 'I wanna get my knees dirty.' -- Gunnz, Netcast 37 |

| Posted: 3 months ago No, it doesn't make you too "american". I just makes you smart... And slightly boring, sensible and unadventurous... I JOKE!!!--------------------------------- "Man, shooting cops and getting Head never gets old"- Gunnz; Netcast #54 |

| Posted: 3 months ago No, you're absolutely right! To me, 'adventurous' means trying a new kind of alcohol, or stripping down to my boxers and getting into a semi-clean river. I mean, I've been alive for 33 years, and I'm just now starting to like sushi. Otherwise, mold is mold!Although ... I suppose those who are more adventurous than me were the ones who realized that mushrooms that grow in cow sh*t can make you hallucinate. I never would've been the one to give that a whirl! --------------------------------- 'I wanna get my knees dirty.' -- Gunnz, Netcast 37 |

| Posted: 3 months ago Them people were not Adventurous, they were just Bam Magera's great great great great grand father!We are gamers, we are not adventurous in the real world. But in worlds like Liberty City, Hyrule, The Shivering Isles and especially in Calypso Casino.... We are Gods!! Too much over the top?? I think it was. Ps, Sushi is gooooooooddddd. --------------------------------- "Man, shooting cops and getting Head never gets old"- Gunnz; Netcast #54 |

| Posted: 3 months ago Yeah, I've started to like sushi, and like trying new kinds ... which is really weird, because A) I'm not very adventurous, and B) I don't really like seafood. Although I occasionally like snow crab legs, and once I had some rock lobster in Seattle that was the BOMB...Bam Margera? There's a name I haven't heard in a while. I had all of the CKY DVDs before Jackass got big here .... classic stuff. --------------------------------- 'I wanna get my knees dirty.' -- Gunnz, Netcast 37 |

| Posted: 3 months ago Ohhhh, Lobster thats on my to-do list... along with Jade Raymond! Whoooo!!! CKY, whats that? Hold on one sec, looking up on Youtube... ahhhh, its like the beginning of Bam's daft career away from skating and the prelude to kids nearly killing themselves. Well, I say if they are daft enough to try it in the first place then I have no sympathy for them. But its funny stuff, especially kicking th balls at peoples cars. Thanks, now I more stuff to look up on youtube!! --------------------------------- "Man, shooting cops and getting Head never gets old"- Gunnz; Netcast #54 |
