My Progress In Persona 4, And Other Video Game Entertainments

By MetalGearSunny 8 Comments

With school back in session and the season of summer coming to an end, it's no  surprise  that I don't have as much time as I like to play certain games. And sometimes when I do, I don't take advantage of it simply because I'm either not in the mood or just tired. (First world spoiled teenager problems, I know.) Despite this, I managed to play some games!  
 

 This is an...awkward persona to have control of.

I played some more Persona 4 this weekend, which is still really fun. It's amazing how great that game looks, regardless of it being a PS2 game. I guess a lot of it has to do with the art style the game has, but it still looks great, a lot better looking than Persona 3. It also seems a lot more  challenging  than Persona 3. Perhaps they made the easy mode way less easy, or it's because of the slight difference in structure between those two games, but in Persona 4, you simply cannot blow through a dungeon like you could in Persona 3's easy mode. The spells that the characters learn and the stats you get while you're grinding in the  dungeon  are needed to beat those boss battles, which are much more  challenging than Persona 3's. It's also a lot harder to hit shadows before going into the battles in P4. Again, I'm only comparing the two games on the lowest difficultly setting, so I can't really say for sure which one's harder than the other. 
 
The date is 5/30 and I just rescued Kanji. I feel really good about how I'm playing it. I'm having tons of dreams about the characters I have social links with (what exactly triggers those, anyway?) and at lunch I have like 4 people coming up to me at lunch at a time. My Wizard Lizard is a pimp.

 You can't tell from this tiny screenshot, but Rayman Origins looks incredible.

I also finished playing all the main story levels in Rayman Origins, and then skipped the credits sequence because the credits in that game are fucking ridiculous, much like every Ubisoft game. Rayman Origins is a very fun game! If you haven't played it yet and you're looking for a great platformer, check it out. I haven't done much of the side levels where you're chasing the chest, but I'm probably going to go back to do that stuff, too. 
 
Besides the occasional Rock Band Blitz, that's pretty much all I've been playing. I still have the story mode of Persona 4 Arena to "play," and I plan on getting to it, but I want to play more Persona 4 before I do.  
 
Also, last night my wonderful girlfriend (who is the master of kittens) gave me a wonderful gift of a Giant Bomb premium membership! I know some people feel like they aren't doing enough with the premium memberships, and I wouldn't know because I didn't have one before, but going through and seeing what I missed is a lot of fun. The benefits of getting to use the mobile site, the HTML 5 viewer, the radio show, and the archived TNTs on the site seem worth it already, I just hope they do enough subscriber features throughout the year to make it more awesome. Oh, and the thing that happens when you sign up for it is great, too. 
 
That's about it! I don't know how often I'll update this blog from here on out, but whenever I want to talk about games I'm sure I'll do something!  
(Not that you really care or anything.)  
 
For whatever reason I have No. 13 Baby by the Pixies stuck in my head, so I'll end my blog with that because I don't know how to end a blog post.
