There was a marathon during the past week and a half, so Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra is now officially on the completed list. I intend to make a set of quick and easy guides providing information I couldn’t find online when I was playing the game, but for now, I thought I’d make a sort of “looking back” report. It’s a big and lengthy game, so my impressions have changed, several times during my playing of it.
Isles of Terra is taking longer than I thought, in part due to distraction, but mostly due to my unwillingness to commit to it for some reason. Most of my sessions are large chunks of time, so I keep delaying and eventually end up procrastinating on Reddit instead of playing. It’s a ridiculous thing to say, because I’m avoiding playing a game instead of avoiding some actual work, but there it is. Anyways, here’s me playing through a dungeon – the Slithercult Stronghold.Continue reading
Another indie bundle was bought and another half a dozen games were added to my backlog. The good part? I actually managed to eliminate one quickly – Knights of Pen and Paper. I got it on Steam as well as for Android, so I decided to play it on my brand new Galaxy Tab 3. It’s a simple game. Instead of making up stories and logging my play, I’ll just give an overview, so the potential reader can know what it’s about and decide on buying it or not.Continue reading
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is the third and final Castlevania game on the GameBoy Advance. After playing through it for a while and even getting pretty close to gathering all the extras in a single game, my save slot is at 10 hours and 20 minutes, right before the final boss battle. That puts it between Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance on the length scale, probably slightly closer to Circle of the Moon, if you exclude the optional stuff. Why would you, though?Continue reading
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is a shorter game compared to Circle of the Moon, that’s for sure. Compared to 10 and a half hours on record and probably about 12 hours in total with Circle of the Moon, it took me 7 hours and 15 minutes on record to win Harmony of Dissonance. I also died less often, I think, so the total time was probably slightly over 8 hours. Is it better or worse, though?
It’s been a while, but I’m keeping up with my plans, albeit at a very slow pace. I’ve beaten Might and Magic Book One and Book Two, so now I’m moving on, to Might and Magic III – Isles of Terra. With this one, instead of making up stories, I’ll give an overview of what I’m up to and what the game is about.Continue reading
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is the second GBA Castlevania game. I’ve played it for a bit back in the day, but never gotten far in it, for the same reason I didn’t get far in any of the games I played back then – lack of focus and dedication. As with Circle of the Moon, in this first posting, I’ll give a brief overview of what I did in the game up to this point as well as a slightly lengthier overview of the game itself.Continue reading
It took me about four weekends of marathon play to be able to say I’ve beaten Planescape Torment and it was absolutely amazing. There’s no need to write any sort of review. Planescape Torment is an amazing game any RPG fan with an open mind needs to play. It’s a story you play through instead of just watching it and that should be reason enough.Continue reading
2.0 is out, but anyone who’d take the time to read this probably knows that. I’ve heard good things, so I’ve decided to give Diablo 3 2.0 a try. I did it without the expansion, mind you, but a lot of the overhauls the expansion brings are actually included in the patch. Since the core of an ARPG is simple, this will be an attempt to cover most of it in a single posting.Continue reading
After about eleven of twelve hours of game play in total, and exactly 10 hours and 35 minutes being shown on my save file, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon is now completed. There are extra modes to play through, but I probably wont invest a lot of time into that. Now that the game is over, I’ll try and give a second overview – one that will hopefully be more accurate.Continue reading
