Elder Scrolls Online

3 / 30 / 143 / 30 / 14

My boyfriend is a pretty big Elder Scrolls Online fan. Personally, while I’ve found them interesting I never actually played one. Despite that, I like MMOs and I like playing with him so I decided to join him in Elder Scrolls Online. We participated in Beta sessions and even pre-ordered so we got to start the Early Access today which actually caught us offguard–we were expecting it to start tomorrow.

Unfortunately, it immediately started with some issues due to the not being able to Zoom in… I was eventually able to work it out (even if I had to change her last name slightly) thankfully.

My character:

I’m hoping the spawn rates will be better–that was probably the biggest issue I had with the Beta. Well, that and people being able to steal your chest when you fail to lockpick

An introduction of sorts

3 / 30 / 14

I hadn’t used my main website in ages–mostly leaving it as a hub to random things that were incredibly old. I’ve found a lot of joy in writing about games I’m currently playing and other things I enjoy doing so I figured I’d make something more generally for when I don’t feel like making a giant blog just to a specific game.

There isn’t too much to say right now, but I’ll be working on getting pages up and a layout set during today while also playing both games linked above and in the sidebar. Lots to do today <3

Animal Crossing: New Leaf Review

6 / 18 / 136 / 9 / 15

This Review is Reposted here for Archiving purposes. Click here for where I originally wrote it.

acnlAnimal Crossing: New Leaf is the next installment in the Animal Crossing series and the first for the 3DS. If you read my Anticipation Article, you will know I’ve been anxiously looking forward to the game. After playing for about a week non-stop, I decided to take a break (well, leave my game open and hope some of the villagers ask for new public works) to write up a review. The game features tons of new features and there were only a few I wasn’t too fond of. Regardless, I hope the series will continue in this direction with the future games in the series…although, maybe with less exclusives per region.

Style Savvy: Trendsetters Review

5 / 3 / 136 / 9 / 15

This Review is Reposted here for Archiving purposes. Click here for where I originally wrote it.

stylesavvytrendsetters Style Savvy: Trendsetters is the sequel to Style Savvy for the DS and while the story isn’t much different, it does have a lot of advancements from it’s predecessor. Of course, it does have it’s flaws as well and some changes weren’t always for the better.

The game involves your character getting ownership of a fashion store and slowly making it your own while also helping your customers find exactly what they are looking for. Plus, having some fun with customizing your own character. Despite being relatively simple, the game is also rather addictive.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity Review

4 / 14 / 136 / 9 / 15

This Review is Reposted here for Archiving purposes. Click here for where I originally wrote it.

pmdboxartPokemon Mystery Dungeon is one of my personal favorite spin-off games for Pokemon and thus, I never miss a chance to pick one up. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity happens to be the 3rd (4th if you count the Japan-only WiiWare games–please be aware this review will only be focusing on the handheld games) game in the series and also the first to be on the 3DS.

As usual, the game starts off with a human becoming a Pokemon. But while some stuff remains the same, the game brings a lot of changes and unfortunately, not all of them were for the best.

StreetPass

4 / 7 / 1310 / 5 / 17

This Article is Reposted here for Archiving purposes. Click here for where I originally wrote it.

streetpassmiiplaza StreetPass is one of the biggest features of the 3DS, although, not the most heavily advertised (That goes to the actual 3D feature, unsurprisingly). It is the successor to Tag Mode and, honestly, does a much better job of what Tag Mode’s purpose was. The issue with Tag Mode is the fact that it could only trigger if you had that mode up in the specific game which caused finding people to be much more of a shot in the dark due to the fact that even if the person was playing that game if they didn’t specifically have Tag Mode on, it wouldn’t matter.

StreetPass manages to fix most of those issues along with making things a bit more fun/personal as well. However, most people still do not understand what StreetPass is, how it works, or even how to set it up. And as my personal favorite feature about the 3DS, I have quite a lot to say about it.

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning Review

11 / 7 / 122 / 22 / 19

This Review is Reposted here for Archiving purposes. Click here for where I originally wrote it.

AnewbeginningusaboxartHarvest Moon: A New Beginning is the first Harvest Moon game made for the 3DS. While Tale of Two Towns was on the 3DS as well, that was a port rather than being made for it. Like most Harvest Moon games, the general idea of it is to make your farm into something awesome while also falling in love and having a family. The gimmick this time around is you’re also rebuilding the town…literally.

When you first start the game, you will only have 4 buildings in the village area. The Animal Dealer (who is out of town), the General Store (where you’ll be buying most things you need for everyday farming), an empty house, and Dunhill’s house. Dunhill is essentially the mayor of the game and will give you 90% of the tutorials you will be going through. In fact, about the first 25-27 days is nothing but learning the ropes.
