The NEW Game Journal

Mickey, try stalker? It has much lower system requirements, but is similarly atmospheric, apocalyptic, and Slavic.

I forget I have that game. I should probably play that soon...oh wait, yeah, now I remember, I need a controller. Guess I can use my PS3 one...

And I agree with a lot of what you said about Zelda, especially Zelda 1, since I'm playing it right now, and have gotten further than ever, so I'm noticing a lot of the strategy and design of the dungeons and enemies.

Actually, reading it all again while I type this, I think you hit every nail on the head...I'd explain more, but I don't think there is anything more I could add.

STALKER wouldn't work well with a controller at all and I doubt it even supports one.

---edit---

La Mulana - Got the Mausoleum life gem. That helps a... little.

That could be a major problem. I find FPSes to be completely unplayable with a mouse and keyboard. :| Crap...

Howso?

Did they fix all the big glitches in fallout new vegas? I want to dive the hell into that game but not if it's still sloppy.

I played it back when there was only 1 patch and never encountered any game breaking bug. I figure that by now the game should be stable.

As far as I know. Obsidian is good about patching stuff. I never encountered anything serious, and most of the minor bugs I saw were related to the Gamebryo engine just being... Gamebryo.

So there's third party STALKER: CoP gamepad support. Though again I'd really recommend getting used to mouse + keyboard since the game has a very mouse driven UI.  There are a lot of settings that can affect how usable one finds a keyboard + mouse setup so if you tell me what problems you have with it I might be able to help out.

Zelda Twilight Princess
Felt like it.  I really, really wanna do Wind Waker after too (anyone selling their gamecube or first gen Wii?  Mine are dying... and it needs to be "not too used"). 

I beat the Temple of Time, I love the hell out of the Dominion Rod, wish there were more chances to use it.  And beat the City in the Sky (whose boss, though easy -- like many/all of them -- is one helluva lot of fun).

I love this game's graphics, I think they're almost perfect.  I adore playing or replaying the game.  I'm sad right now because Palace of Twilight is next, and the goddamn Floor Masters can suck my butt.

I can't aim for shit with a mouse, and I find mouses uncomfortable since I have so little space to use one. And I can never remember what key does what when I really need it when I use a keyboard.

Anyways, While the game itself doesn't support a controller, it seems there are programs I can use for it that'll emulate a mouse and keyboard with a controller, and there are enough major commands that can be mapped to a controller, too. I'll see how that goes once I get around to it sometime this week.

Attempted to progress in Darkroot Garden in Dark Souls. Could not.

Last dungeon of Seiken Densetsu 3!! Woo-hoo!! Although I just spent nearly 3 hours farming "???" seeds for my final class change.... highly frustrating business....

Zone of the End is boring me a bit.... but I really think that is just in contrast to playing Seiken densetsu right now.... truth be told, this is the most appealing mecha-material I have indulged since Xenosaga and the Evangelion movie/remakes. Good stuff, and I am still on the first game! I can't wait to get to the second as it seems the general consensus is the sequel is far superior.

Lastly, but CERTAINLY not least I have a true treasure here..... Rewind back to last summer..... I started a thread about all super famicom titles worth hunting down.... You guys pointed me in some great directions... One of which was sailor moon: another story....... I finally got it and gave it a shot as I've really been meaning to indulge/finish all of sailor moon's old material before the new sailor moon this coming summer.... Holy heck do I love this game... 3 walking speeds (fast, really fast, and like freaking warp) with no accessories needed, awesome spritework and best of all it truly is "Another Story".... not just some turn-based romp through the same sailor moon scenario we are oh so familiar with.... I will say though, if you are not familiar with sailor moon (and I do mean really freakin' familiar) this game does very little to guide you into the moon universe... it totally takes for granted that you know A LOT about the series before playing.... in fact, before I continue playing this I watching some of the show and reading more of the manga...

These are good gaming days I tell ya.... I think I should always sprinkle in a bit of 16 bit goodness into my gaming regimen... keeps me happy...

Zone of the End is boring me a bit....

Are we talking ZoE or ZoE2 ?
If ZoE... yeah the game wasn't hot stuff. It pretty much exists as the prequel the great game that came after.

Chapter 9 Ghost Trick...wow...what a fun aggravation, if that makes any sense that is.

Resident Evil 6:

Got it last week and started getting into it last night finally. From what I've played I can say that RE6 is pretty great if a bit messy, there's still a long road ahead of me so I guess I'll save my opinion for later.

Also.



Sherry is way too adorable.

[Dice]

Playing with a buddy is probably the best way to play Res6.  Usually the goofy antics between you and a bud help smooth out (i.e. not notice) its flaws haha

And yeah, Sherry is so cute.  I love it when girls can rock that almost boy short hair.  She inspired the grey with white fur Winter jacket I got actually.

Twilight Princess

Easily, most stressful part in the game is racing the Wall Masters in the Palace.  I went into it blind, it's really tricky to figure it out that way, some of the enemy surprises aren't too nice either.  Worst part is probably that horrific noise that plays when it gets close.... SHWEEE SHWEEE SHWEEE SHWEE~!!  *SMACK*
