So its the 15th day i’ve been living in Buffalo, NY. Seems longer (not in a bad way), but i’m starting to find my groove. My room is finally setup/settled (pictures will follow once my new camera cord comes in the mail) and I’ve found myself with enough time to finally get back to playing some video games.
I spent 22 hours on Ninja Guiden 2, it is a horrible button masher game that you do the same combo over and over again in until you win; however, I couldn’t win. After fighting through the final level that is a series of repeat battles with previously bested bosses, you enter into a special area where through a large set of doors a final battle will occur. The problem? You can’t go backwards in the game at all unless you created manual save points to restart from previous checkpoints. SO after, 22 hours invested in the game (souly to get acheivement points and see where the horrible plot was going) I found myself facing the boss of the game, ill-equipped with no means to revisit a store for power-ups. I’m sure it is not actually impossible to beat with no heath powerups or magic at one’s disposal, but after a solid hour of fighting the boss for 2 minutes then dying I gave in and mailed it back.
The good news? Civilitations is on its way.
