End of Summer

So, it's been a while. My plans for world domination are progressing slowly, so in the meantime I've been gaming. I haven't played Shiren in a while, but I did beat Bastion on the PS Vita. Good game man, the gameplay is fun and you can change the difficulty easily through the "gods" mechanic too. I loved the music and the visuals, definitely a strong suite for the studio that went on to make Hades. It's also meant to be replayed, but I haven't touched my PS Vita in a while. Also I started Persona 3 Portable, but haven't gotten to far since I have been ignoring my Vita. 

However, I have started playing some other games consistently. I started playing Pokemon Scarlet again, with the goal of finishing the game. It's actually a nice chill game to play, and I enjoy exploring the region and catching mons and listening to the music. I feel like your imagination and mindset are important factors to getting the most out of the game. Surely the next game will be more fleshed out tho :). I also started playing Vintage Story again, mainly because Forsen started a Pokemon HG/SS nuzlocke run(s) (rare legendary era PagMan). Vintage Story is a very slow placed game centered around manual labor as its main gameplay features so having Forsen's stream on the background while I play Vintage Story has been a nice experience. 

Here's some pics :)

 Hello!

I've been playing some more Shiren whenever I get the time, and it's been a challenging experience! It has a similar charm and humor to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series (same studio) but it is much different in terms of difficulty. If you know of the Zero Isles in Pokemon Explorer's of Darkness/Light it's like that but probably harder. The farthest I've gotten is the 19th level. Here are some pictures I've taken along my journey:

I've also had a good time meeting new characters and unlocking events in the story :)

In other news, I got a PS Vita! I've always been watching what handheld emulators show up on the market (mainly on Taki Udon's channel), but I became enamored with the decade old Vita's aesthetic and capabilities. I plan on playing many games, like the Persona series, and exploring PSP games and perhaps even some emulation/homebrew games. Here are some pictures of my system:

 

I got the 2000 series btw. My Vita did have some joystick drift, so I replaced them with new ones. Also, add me on PSN: gyozzaboy

Hello!

In this blog I plan on writing about my experiences with video games that I play. I'm planning on buying a PS Vita, and I've already created a list of games I want to play on it. I'm currently playing Shiren the Wanderer for the Nintendo DS, so I'll probably make a post about that soon. See ya later!
