Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think the warranty expired a while back, so no biggie.

Well, mine got sent out today from Amazon, and the delivery estimate isn't for another week. Which is fine, I actually just got Bully for PS2, and it's all kinds of awesome, so far.

Yes, Chase, the school days feel that I love so much, hahah.
So I'll get on that now.

Hey Bio, so I finally got Shattered Memories for the PS2. Apparently the release for it was limited so I got a little lucky. It was a used version but was pretty much brand new for the most part. But anyway, I just finished playing through it and on a scale of A to F I give it a B-.

See I thought it was going to be a complete remake of the first one, but it actually ended up having its own story to it with all the familiar characters. Another thing I was disappointed with was that they took out the classic elements. Two big ones being that they only had ONE type of monster which annoyed the hell out of me more than scared me and they took away the classic fog and replaced it with snow? Not only that but like, I was expecting creepiness factor that you can find in the older games like blood and rust everywhere when the atmosphere switches to the horror atmosphere.

I overall very much liked it, although the psychiatrist was kind of an a*****e, and the music was great too, but the other elements they left out just left me disappointed more than satisfied. But still definitely worth a buy. I thought the new implementation of gameplay was very nicely done. And on a first time around of playing the game, I had no idea what to expect so in THAT regard it leaves a mysterious type of creepiness to it. And to give the storyline the benefit of the doubt, what the SH games have always been known for is having its own story and not really supposed to be related to any other SH games in story line, and that's exactly what they did. So anyway that's my review of it. Disappointed, but also loved it.

[edit] In regards to the gameplay, NOW I see where the newest SH game coming out gets its gameplay ideas with the flashlight, but they made it even more cinematic with the graphics and I look very forward to that game coming out. Now I just have to eventually get Homecoming.

re-imagining definitely sounds better than a re-make. but i still liked it nontheless biggrin can't wait for the next one.

well the trailer looked promising for the most part and it seemed to have the SH elements in it from the little we were shown. I could always rent it if nothing else. smile

In other news, guess what guys? I finally got Code Veronica X for the ps2!!! Yeaaaah my first classic bought of the series and 2 steps away from getting the originals I want (and can afford). biggrin I was at the mall for the hell of it and I had forgotten what of the RE series was on the ps2 system so I figured since I had a ps2, might as well ask. So I asked and the store near my house had CVX for ps2 in fairly good condition, nearly mint and with the original box case (without the manual). And only 7 bucks. Definitely look forward to playing it in a bit after I finish my Popsicle biggrin See Stranger? Told you'd I'd eventually get the originals xP

School Days Feel...Sounds like a hypnotic drug.

Sorry I'm taking my sweet a** time with my part of the intro construction. I've been busy as of late...I'll get to it soon enough, though, so don't ye fret.

Thank you! I'll bookmark it and show it to my husband when he gets home.

@Elena: 'Bout time! I hope you like it. The original on the Dreamcast was my first RE.
