The Nagase Review

Ok. So, I'm about say some stuf that may or may not cause some of you to hunt me down and shoot me in th ass. You know what? I don't care. First Person Shooters are boring stupid, The Legened of Zelda aint that great, I'm only getting a PS4 for Anime style games (that's not really relivent), I absolutly enjoyed Final Fantasy X & X-2 and to top that off, Dark Souls is irritatingly boring. This is the Nagase Review. (insert intro theme here)

First things first. I'm not going into detail about how boring and dumb they FPS's are. I'm sure somebody's made a forum for that already. I'm also not going to voice my full opinion on theLegend of Zelda. I'll keep that short and sweet: I don't hate those games but I also don't care about them. Anyway, FFX & X-2? love those games. I'd marry those games if it was legal and if they had fleshy parts. When I fist played FFX, I went in expecting a fun and engaging story, fun and interesting characters, and gameplay expected from an FF game and that's exactly what I got and more. A stellar OST by the one and only Nobuo Uematsu that took my breath away. Now, for FFX's (for all intents and purposes) sister game, It was fun. Yes. I got this game for...reasons. to be honest, With me, it's the whole "Portal v Portal 2" Issue. "Is FFX-2 good?" To me? Yes. "Is it better then FFX?" Ha! Not on your life, mate. Join me next week when I talk about how boring Dark Souls is. Later.

You know what? It was fun at first but now... -_- This is the Nagase Review. (insert intro theme here) Ok. So, This weeks topic is Dark Souls. Before you ask "Bro. Do you even Demon Souls?", let me answer that for you. No. The answer is no. I'm really just not interested in it. The "Souls games" are pretty to look at, the comdat system is neat, the characters are interesting, going through each area is like playing a REALLY gritty version of a (somewhat) open worlded Lord of the Rings game and...they're boring. -_- Irritatingly so. Now I'd like to take this time to answer a few questions. Yes, I've played Dark Souls. No. I haven't beaten any of them. Why? Because they can't keep my attention. Why do I think the Souls games are boring? Surpisingly, it's not the die die and die some more game play or the stick, move, repeat style of fighting that one does in nearly every boss fight. My personal feelings of boredom are (in particular order) The depressing feel The "go around and do stuff till story happens" aspect Repetition "Dudes in armor" (fuck dudes in armor) Undead aka zombies Everytime I find a new area, I quickly get tired of it. Why? Because dudes in armor and zombies. It's always just more of the same except for the bosses. If the enemies could hold conversations with each other, In every single area of the Souls game world, I'd imagine most of them would turn out like this: "Hey, Zombie B. See that guy over there? He looks like He's having trouble with that dude in armor. Let's call Zombies C through Q over shit stomp that guys brains in then get all the other armored dudes to come biss on his corps for a laugh." to which Zombie B says "We just did that 2 minutes ago." "What? You think it's getting old?" says Zombie A to which Zombie B replies " Hell no! Let's pound 'em brother!" I have no problem with dying over and over again. It's what people who play video games do. But, when a game advretises that the fact that you will die countless times it's really hard to keep my interest. What's that yousay? "Git Good?" Fuck off...! I'm gonna go play somthing that won't put me to sleep. Like Monster hunter or Project DIVA F. Later.
