I want to love the Wii U. My passion for video game started

I want to love the Wii U. My passion for video game started with the original Nintendo and continued to the Super Nintendo. Nintendo has been a large part of gaming for most of my life. That said, the Wii U isn't catching my excitement.

The always amazing video game YouTube celeb boogie2988 has a new video rant as Francis, a character he does on his channel about the Wii U(video above). After a hazy start the rant is spot on with much of how I feel(warning, it is an intense video with some colorful humor that may offend some).

I like the end of the video, where he whimpers to the camera that he will get the Wii U because he loves Nintendo so much even with all its... Read All

Hello again! I was thinking about this today and I wanted to know your guy's opinion. So here it is:

Who is your favorite video game character?

Simple enough. I want to know what character, in any game, you absolutely love. I don't care if you think he/she is hilarious or if you just like the character development of your certain person. I'm just curious to see what people think a good character is.

Personally, my favorite character relates to my favorite series. Garrus Vakarian from the mass effect series. I love this character because of the amazing thought that went into him. He has a backstory and not to mention you have him on your team throughout all three mass... Read All

That's cool, I haven't played Mass Effect but heard great things about it. He must have been awesome to have made such an impact.

I am going to think about this and get back to you about it. Love the question, but yeah, I don't know right now. The hard ones take some thought :)

BR Supporter Post Author wrote on 09/27/2012 at 03:01am

Yeah, Mass Effect did a great job at actually making you care about your crew. There are tons of things you can talk to them about and if you bring them with you on a mission they have their own unique comments about what is going on.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/27/2012 at 08:11pm

After thinking more about this I believe it is Chell. She is a strong protagonist and I respect that about her. In the comic the description of her in her file is that "she never gives up." Something awesome about that and being able to take GlaDOS's continual punishment.

BR Supporter Post Author wrote on 09/27/2012 at 11:54pm

I wouldn't know much about her. The only time I've played either of the portal games was at a friends house and I didn't pay much attention to the story at the time.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/28/2012 at 02:34pm

Your Dad in Fallout 3 is prob up there too. Liam Neeson's acting is superb and I was very attached to his character.

BR Supporter Post Author wrote on 09/28/2012 at 03:29pm

Your father is pretty cool. He is somewhere up top on my list too. Fallout 3 had good writing period. Having a good voice to record the good writing makes it that much better.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/28/2012 at 04:09pm

It really does.

Timogorgon Member wrote on 09/29/2012 at 07:29pm

I kind of like the silent protagonists like Link, Ness, Crono, etc. It's probably because I project myself into those characters, but that's part of the fun of video games, right?

I also really like Cloud from FF7. Not because of the huge sword, or the cool motorcycle (but those help.) I like the big reveal about his real back story that comes late in the game. Plus how many other main characters do you know of that failed miserably in their childhood dreams of becoming a hero and suffer from multiple personalities? It's a shame they made him so bland and brooding in Advent Children.

I've also always liked Samus (power armor is cool!) but now that I'm a Dad to two girls I've come to really appreciate any female character who's not just there as a romance option or as the princess to be rescued. Not only is Samus the main character but in most games she's the only protagonist and she's about as bad ass as you can get!

Timogorgon Member wrote on 09/29/2012 at 07:33pm

Oh, and I forgot to mention Kreia from KOTOR 2. She was a really cool, complex character. During my first play through I wanted her to be on my side (both in my personal feelings and in how I picked dialogue options/actions) but never really felt like I could completely trust her. The writing and voice acting for her character were also top notch.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/30/2012 at 05:03am

Yep, one of the reasons I like Chell so much in Portal. Strong female lead.

vdogmr25 wrote on 10/01/2012 at 04:57pm

I'm gonna go silent protagonist too. The Kid from Bastion is probably one of the best characters ever. It helps that the game as a whole is a story-telling masterpiece, but with the Kid, there was just enough choice in the story to give you a different character depending on how you played the game.

File this under "first world problems" but I have a ton of video games. Oh wait, Cheerful Ghost to the rescue, how many games do I have? According to my handy dandy games list... http://cheerfulghost.com/jdodson/games I have 242 games. That's quite a lot of games. Now some of those are on my old NES and I don't really pull those out too often. But many of those are PC or PS3 games and lately I have noticed that if I stopped buying games I wouldn't be done with what I have for months. I have enough content to possibly keep me busy well into the next year.

Lemme see what games I have yet to finish...

Disgaea 2 ('bout half wayish)
Disgaea 3 (I started a game, but stopped because I hadn't finished the 2nd one.)
Final Fantasy 12 (lost my save somewhere along the way, gotta start over)
Final Fantasy 10, but it sucks, so I don't care. :P Same for FF 13.
Mass Effect
Costume Quest
Torchlight
Fallout 3 (still playing off and on)
Borderlands (need to finish DLC)
Borderlands 2 I'm currently playing
Lone Survivor (awesome but scary! I think I'll play this around Halloween time :D)
Portal 2 (co-op)
Breath of Death VII
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Games I have but haven't even started yet:
All the Half-life games (I KNOW! I'll get around to them eventually)
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Time Gentlemen, Please!
Cthulhu Saves the World
Hunted: The Demon's Forge

I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Yeah, I have SO many games to get caught up on. It's almost as bad as how many books I have sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read. There's just not enough hours in the day to do everything I need to and everything I want to!

BR Supporter wrote on 09/24/2012 at 07:56pm

There are a few games that I haven't completed recently, but most the time I finish games that I enjoy to play. I guess I only finish games that I enjoy the story of such as:

Fallout 3: beat it 3 to 4 times
Fallout New Vegas: 3 to 4 as well
Oblivion: beat this once but logged about 400-500 hours in it
Skyrim: Only beat this once
Mass effect 1: 2 play-throughs
Mass effect 2: 3 play-throughs
Mass effect 3: 1 play-through but I'm going to star another soon with all the new dlc

So I guess my conclusion is that I will play entirely through a game that I really enjoy(multiple times) such as mass effect, which its story is by far my #1.

There are also games which I haven't beat yet, but that is due to something I enjoy more coming along and pushing it aside. Some of these games are:

Dead Island
Magicka
Titan quest

These are games I don't enjoy as much as others and therefore usually I stop playing them and instead play a more enjoyable game to me.

I guess that about sums it up.

BR Supporter wrote on 09/25/2012 at 02:35am

Yeah, I did play as an evil and good character. Although I have played with similar characters through the story. There wasn't many different ways you could go in fallout 3. Fallout New Vegas on the other hand had tons of different endings depending on which faction you chose to follow.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 09/25/2012 at 02:39am

Did you blow up Megaton? I still kind of want to try that :)

Did it on two characters and not on the other two.

Timogorgon Member wrote on 09/26/2012 at 06:48pm

@jdodson: It's the PS2 version, and I've had it for a long time. I sunk a ton of hours into it but the game is HUGE and after while I just started playing other stuff and never came back to it.

I still have just one character on Fallout 3, and I'm a "good" guy for the most part. :) If I ever do get around to playing a second time I'll probably go the evil route. I played through the first Knights of the Old Republic game several times and did both good and evil characters. Playing evil characters is fun at first, but after awhile I start to feel bad lol.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 09/27/2012 at 01:45am

I agree. Doing the bad thing leaves me with a strange feeling. I imagine the second play through it would be better considering I had chosen the right path I know what the end run of that is.

I am an MMO player. I started with World of Warcraft since the original level 60 cap. I followed Star Wars since the idea and the concept art shown at a convention. With anticipation I saw the rise and fall of 38 Studios. Then I found some games that are great in their form that do not get a lot of attention. I recently found DC Universe Online and that game is amazing. I literally bought into the hype of The Secret Word and since launch I haven’t even played one minute of the game. The Beta killed it for me. Then I found Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) by accident. It is made by Turbine and I think this games concept is amazing and fun to play but it is slightly outdated and because it is Turbine Lord of the Rings Online is because of this game. Give me a hobbit and DDO and we have two games that are ok.

This is just the surface of MMO’s I know that. But when you get all hyped up and the game you are sitting in front of dose not play to the buildup do you feel cheated in anyway. I think the future of MMO’s is free to play. That model is working very well. Starwars is moving there and that leads me to ask “Why was it not free to play since launch?” I felt very taken with Starwars. I did not play beta much. I wanted the game to be fresh but at level 28 I felt the nails of the grind. I know that is a concept of an MMO but why can developers nail it and other fall so short? Blizzard for the most part has changed the game style of their game and the current expansion Cataclysm (until the 25th) changed everything that was of the grind play style. The WOW player base is huge and with that I feel Blizzard can gauge their game and develop in a way that no one else can. This is all a guess but if the entire MMO player base is 15 million and Blizzard has 10 of those that leaves a 5 million player base to be divided up. I do not feel that games can have proper feedback unless you make every game a spin off WOW. My numbers might be off but it makes since. So when you have developers pitching and pitching ideas to the same player base how do you not get numb as a player? How do you believe and share that vision that this MMO will blow your mind and be everything you want an MMO to be.

These are my thoughts, what do you think? I think MMO’s might be going out of style fast unless they bring a new concept to the table. Can they?

Jacob_Richardson wrote on 09/14/2012 at 04:27am

I actually can comment on this. I have been in this beta for well over a year now. I play it from time to time to see how its getting better.

(I played more often towards the start but every huge update moves your older characters to an un-updated server)

The currency system is a godsend for f2p games and almost every f2p game should try to adopt this model. There is zero gold and the currency (real money) items are easily and frequently found throughout the game theyve even been generous enough to increase the drops a few times in the updates. It operates soley on trading.

Diablo 3 did the complete opposite; some of you may have differing opinions but integrating gold farming into the core mechanics of your economy IS TERRIBLE. PoE tries to weed it out completely.

The sheer amount of updates it pumps out I think is a testament to how hard their working on it and will continue to work on it after release. It can only get better. If you do happen to run into a beta key this is one you want to keep and eye on. This is how isometric rpgs should be.

Also should mention to check out Grim Dawn. It's probably my most anticipated isometric rpg in years.

So Ive decided to start up a discussion on all games

So I've decided to start up a discussion on all games japanese related. This is not to comment about anime or manga or characters. Just games. Talk about your favorite japanese games. Your games you were saddest never made it over seas. Or ones that are rare and that you'd Recommend.

I'll start with a few of my favorite series:
Super Robot Wars SRPG
Soma Bringer ARPG
Seiken Densetsu 3 ARPG (Secret/Legend of Mana 3 for you non japanese literate)
"Tales of" games and their offshoots. A/RPG hybrid

Honorable mention:
Uncharted Waters series (it really only remained popular in asia and still today is one of the best sea faring series of all time)

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/07/2012 at 11:59pm

I'll comment on Uncharted Waters and few other games after what first came to mind after you mentioned Japanese games.

It's funny because Japanese games for so long in my early gaming life dictated how I viewed what games were. And you know, it might seem strange but ill list of some badass Japanese games:

Super Mario Brothers
The Legend of Zelda
Donkey Kong
Final Fantasy
Romance of the Three Kingdoms

So really, Japanese games ruled gaming and my life for damn near half of it. I got into programming because of games and dreaming about one day making them.

Anyways, kind of got all wild eyed and sentimental for a minute there, anyways.. :D

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/08/2012 at 12:13am

Uncharted Waters and all other Koei games are pretty unqiue and a few made it into my all time most beloved games list.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 [ To my mind one of the most perfect strategy games, holds up well now too. ]
Genghis Khan 2: Clan of the Grey Wolf: Wrote about my love for this one here: http://cheerfulghost.com/jdodson/posts/191

I played Le Emperor and rented Uncharted Waters on the Super Nintendo. I really like Uncharted Waters, the ship trading, upgrading the ship and traveling around the wold. It was a really fun idea I haven't had as much fun with in a modern game like it(I guess Sid Meyers Pirates is sort of similar?).

Koei still makes stuff and they released a version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the iPhone, one of these days ill break down and get it but I don't want every second of the day spend playing it so.... It waits, un-purchased. :D

Tungsten wrote on 09/08/2012 at 01:09am

I never played too many of the japanese ones. Seiken Densetsu had a spot on my emulator for a while, and I quite enjoyed it. Dragon Force on the Saturn (woah, that brings me back) was quite a good time, and most certainly very Japanese. I've always wanted to pick up the translation of shining force III... but other than that I've been pretty western.

Jacob_Richardson Post Author wrote on 09/08/2012 at 01:24am

i agree with you there tungsten i too wish to pick up the shining force III translation thats a classic. Romance of the three kingdoms is amazingly fun as well. Romancing Saga is a completely different game but also unbelievably amazing. Pirates! that most people are familiar with is nowhere close to as good as uncharted new horizons was. Sorry pirates! fans out there.

Travis Admin wrote on 09/08/2012 at 04:10am

Here's a game (series really) that might not get mentioned so I feel I should: Katamari Damacy. These games are so addictive. The mechanics are so simple, you pick up smaller objects so that you grow and can pick up larger and larger ones. You start of picking up thumbtacks and end up rolling up entire galaxies!

Insanely fun, insanely addictive, and insanely frustrating. The new one released on the Vita is quite literally the only thing that makes me want to buy a Vita.

Jacob_Richardson Post Author wrote on 09/08/2012 at 04:21am

Travis Admin wrote on 09/08/2012 at 05:04am

Well, from all of the absolutely bizarre flavor text you can see on items and such in the game, it seems like being rolled into the katamari is somehow euphoric. So at least they all went out happy.

Uncharted waters was awesome! I actually picked up Pirates! because it looked like an updated uncharted waters.

As far as games that didn't make it stateside, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Mother 3 were my two big ones. Luckily they both were fan translated. :) I also just picked up a fan translated version of Brigandine Grand Edition which I haven't tried yet but I'm excited about. I've heard Bahamut's lagoon was a good SNES RPG that never made it stateside, but I've never seen or played it.

One of my favorite tactical RPG games is Disgaea, and it is VERY Japanese, lol. Here's the trailer for the first game in the series (and my favorite in the series so far): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOsvsyIElRI
The game is absolutely insane in just about every way. There are so many different ways to improve your characters and make them more powerful that I had to kind of force myself to stop working on leveling them up and actually go do the main storyline at one point. The game is also genuinely funny. My wife liked it when I would play the game when she was around because she enjoyed the cut scenes so much.

And of course my childhood was ruled by Japanese video games: Zelda, Mario, The Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Mega Man, Metroid, etc. :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/08/2012 at 06:12pm

@Jdodson you should check out one of the steam greenlight games called secret of grindea. looks like kind of a funny name based on the sterotypes of ARPGs however it basically looks like a revamped and newer version of something like secret of mana but it has 4player co op

@Whiteboy I remember buying both Disgaea and La Puccell Tactics together on ebay when it was like impossible to find for ps2. They were so expensive. This was before the DS and PSP remake. Nippon Ichi really is a savoir of old-school styled SRPG's

Jacob_Richardson Post Author wrote on 09/08/2012 at 07:35pm

Also bahamut lagoon is pretty cool and worth playing. Its a rather typical SRPG except you have dragons that you can feed and depending on what you give them they get different stats and evolve in different ways.

Also can't believe I didn't mention Lufia II. Lufia II is probobly one of my greatest games from my childhood or of all time. Anyone else played and beaten it?

Timogorgon Member wrote on 09/08/2012 at 07:41pm

I've never beaten it, but I have played Lufia II. That's another great game! I should go back and finally beat that one. :) I think the farthest I ever got was I the tower that randomly generated new floors. I don't know how far into the game that is though.

Jacob_Richardson Post Author wrote on 09/08/2012 at 08:03pm

the Wii version is what i started on. I loved the game immensely. It's a bit old now but its still the last monster hunter we've ever received in the US. It is challenging as heck though. If your not ready to spend some time trying to learn a weapon style and get pretty darn good at it; it's probably not worth it.

However, If your looking for a game with challenge amazing animation and some of the best group play out there. I'd say it's amazing and a definate must own.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/16/2012 at 07:48pm
