Nintendo Gaming / No one else picked up the Adventure Time Game?

« on: November 27, 2012, 09:45:33 AM »

Hey guys,

sad to see no discussion of this title yet?

I picked up the 3DS collector's edition.  The game is really fun.  It is exactly like Zelda 2!  I loved the exploration without hand-holding.  Granted the combat is easy (the game is for kids).  Overall it's just a good Zelda knock off with a great property attached to it.  If you like the show & Zelda you really outta get this.  It's a bit short.  Took me 5 1/2 hours on my first run through.  Though I need to go back and collect everything also there is a NG+ 2nd quest.

I really recommend this.  Did anyone else get it yet?

General Gaming / Panzer Dragoon Saga (at last I have you)

Hey guys.  Who else is a big Panzer Dragoon fan?

I have been since I played the second one on my friend's Saturn.  Orta was the first game and main factor in me getting an xbox back in 2003.

I after many years have finally broken down and spent the $180 odd dollars to track down a copy of Saga.

I played through the first disc.  Man this game is incredible.  Everything just flows together perfectly.  The presentation is great.  Every second has something going on.  The music and art style fit together to create this barren desolate atmosphere.  The battle system is the perfection of ATB form that 32 bit era.  It uses positioning to create a strategy/tactical element to it.  I had no idea you could take rail shooting and actual translate it to brilliant ATB turn based RPG.

I currently just beat the first disc.  About 3 horus and change (them game is supposedly 15-20hrs)

However my Saturn's internal battery is dead.  So if I turn off the power my save file is lost. I ordered some replacement batteries but I'm hoping to not have to restart.  Hope leaving the thing on for days doesn't kill it.

I have a save cart that region unlocks it but this game is late enough to block it out cause it knows I'm hacking.  Wish I knew that so I could have replaced the internal clock battery before buying this.

Anyways I'm creating this thread for discussion on the Panzer series in general.  Once I beat Saga I'd be more than willing to have a spoiler discussion on the story.  However lets keep it blacked out.  Considering the fortune people spend to get this the last thing they want is something spoiled.

Hope there are more PD and bitter Sega fans out there.
