I know that feeling, last year I was trying to burn through some games quickly for a resolution I had going, and one I was like, "Ohh, that sounds like an interesting side quest", and I was like..."I DON'T HAVE TIME! It's almost the end of the year!"<br /><br />Perhaps you can be the first person to complete every single side quest in the game though? Then write the full user guide/strategy guide and retire? Could be a strategy...<br /><br /><b>Thanks for the feedback and checking back in with your update on what Colony you are in, and how long you have been spending in each are!</b>coffeewithgameshttp://coffeewithgames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-85521890897894797022012-05-16T15:48:01.804-04:002012-05-16T15:48:01.804-04:00Ok, after doing some checking I really gotta bag m...Ok, after doing some checking I really gotta bag my side quests and actually move forward in this game. So right now, my team is just getting into Colony 6, meaning I have completed 5 sections of the game. According to a Walkthrough I looked at (just to guage length) I have 38 sections left to go. At my current pace of spending 3.2 hrs per area, I have a whopping 121 hours left to play on this game!!

Depends...Best of this gen... now that's tough. Depends on what area you are looking to fill. RPG's have branched out quite a bit over the last few years - in a way Vampiric demonstrated this by mentioning a couple of titles that were as much - if not more - strategy games than traditional RPG's in his list.<br /><br />You also have more western/action-oriented ones like Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur, or more JRPG-heavy titles like Final Fantasy XIII and 2 (which I liked more than a lot of people) or earlier entries like Lost Odyssey this gen.<br /><br />There's also a case to be made for non-swords & sorcery RPG titles - like the Mass Effect series, which are a mesh of 3rd person shooter with RPG framework for story and even equipment.<br /><br />I would have to say the first Dragon Age or any of the Mass Effect games were probably my favorites from this generation.Chalgyrhttp://chalgyrsgameroom.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-3873638478811221662012-05-15T08:39:35.095-04:002012-05-15T08:39:35.095-04:00yeah and the best way to get more familar is dive ...yeah and the best way to get more familar is dive inVampiricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-45855166298893672932012-05-15T08:37:53.824-04:002012-05-15T08:37:53.824-04:00Well, that's kind of what Coffee's doing a...Well, that's kind of what Coffee's doing as he's asking for some thoughts from others more familiar with the genre than himself. :)Chalgyrhttp://chalgyrsgameroom.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-39147524382425043392012-05-15T08:37:12.258-04:002012-05-15T08:37:12.258-04:00I can say that The World Ends With You was one of ...I can say that The World Ends With You was one of my son's favorite DS games ever.

I haven't checked my Nintendo Channel recently. but I would estimate that I am around the 20hr mark, and I have only just now make it to Colony 6, which is the second town you make it to. The game is absolutely huge in every regard, and is an almost action RPG with real-time-auto-battles. I have heard you can complete the game in as little as 50 hours, but the OCD completionist will take 200+. I really like the game and hope I can keep up with it in order to see the ending. I recommend it, you certainly get $50 worth of entertainment out if it.Kyle Bakerhttp://profiles.google.com/kbakerdenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-49301426676784585012012-05-14T12:30:08.383-04:002012-05-14T12:30:08.383-04:00whats with all the bashing?whats with all the bashing?Vampiricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-15603672131973671792012-05-14T12:29:38.403-04:002012-05-14T12:29:38.403-04:00you should research moreyou should research moreVampiricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-41495760294958605912012-05-14T11:51:12.934-04:002012-05-14T11:51:12.934-04:00Currently taking on Mario Galaxy 1, Dead Space, Fi...Currently taking on Mario Galaxy 1, Dead Space, Final Fantasy X (continuing to take my wife through the series), and a little bit of Lego Pirates of the Carribean. That spread me a little thin, so I'm focussing more on Dead Space and Mario Galaxy. MG and LPoC are games that my wife can actually participate in, and MG is refreshing in the sense that you can just pick it up and play.

...Welcome back Coffee! I missed these data posts :D<br /><br />I wasn't a big fan of this game, and I really didn't like The Last Story. Pandora's Tower, however, is well worth the Operation Rainfall hype. Not a very good game, but a wonderfully operatic experience. <br /><br />Glad to see the game was such a hit though.

The graphics issue isn't a big deal for me, as long as the game-play holds up...<br />I was kind of hoping we would see new series of games created on the Wii from Nintendo (not just Wii Sports, and Wii Fit type stuff), like how they started off showing Disaster: Day of Crisis, but never releasing it in the U.S., and just taking forever in general to release it.<br />Pandora's Tower is another game I am hoping may end up branching into a series for Nintendo, kind of like the God of War series for Sony...only I don't know how much of the game-play is the same between them, just from what I have seen of Pandora's Tower, the game-play seems pretty similar.<br /><br /><b>Thanks for the detailed response!</b>coffeewithgameshttp://coffeewithgames.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-91119490584341307982012-05-13T19:07:32.009-04:002012-05-13T19:07:32.009-04:00If your wife is/was a huge FF fan probably The Las...If your wife is/was a huge FF fan probably The Last Story is more suited to her. Apart from beeing from the same creator of Final Fantasy is a much more condesed experience and if she doesn't have much time to spare a 25 - 30 hour game is much easier to tackle than a 80 - 100 one. Usually i find FF fans more interested in story and characters than gameplay mechanics, but what sets xenoblade apart from the bunch of traditional JRPG ARE the gameplay mechanics(and the huge evironments/suggestive settings). Sure, the story itself is pretty good, but at least for the first 2/3 of the game isn't very prominent. i think about 70% of the story is condensed in the last 30% of the game<br /><br /><br />About Pandora's Tower, i'm playing right now and i'm almost at the end. It's a really good game and it's way better than what the reviews say. its only issue was to be included in operation rainfall together with games from much bigger developers and with much bigger hype. It doesn't help that it's not a JRPG like the other two games. it has some very light RPG elements and some of the aesthetics of a JRPG but at it's core is some sort of cross between an hack 'n' slash beat up and an exploration game a-la zelda and metroid. the setting and the backstory are quite charming and the gameplay is addicting, with well crafted dungeons and puzzles and resilient enemies (boss fights are always epic). it has some faults, graphics are at PS2 level, and while dungeons become more and more complicated while you advance in the game, the basic gameplay structure is quite repetitive. There is also a costant time limit that may put off someone, even if i personally found it very stimulating. In the end it's not as polished as xenoblade or as the last story, but it's a pretty good game with refreshing concepts.Filippo Veschihttp://www.facebook.com/DarkCronosnoreply@blogger.com
