Premi X per riavviare il blog

E dopo un periodo di pausa durato quasi un anno, eccomi di nuovo a scrivere tra le pagine di questo blog.

Volevo ricominciare a scriverci tanto tempo fa, ma da inizio anno ho avuto la fortuna di entrare a far parte della redazione di MyReviews, sito dedicato a videogiochi, cinema, musica e tecnologia, dove mi occupo di news e recensioni, un ottimo modo per passare il tempo con una delle mie tante passioni: il gaming.

Ed è proprio di gaming che mi occuperò in questo blog da ora in avanti: se voglio fare qualcosa di decente da qui in avanti, è meglio avere un tema fisso e seguirlo, piuttosto che mettere roba a caso...o almeno, ci proverò.

Cosa cambia sostanzialmente? Poche cose in effetti, utilizzerò questo blog per parlare di argomenti, fatti e misfatti inerenti al mondo dei videogiochi o strettamente collegati; potranno essere sia argomenti seri che semplice cazzeggio, in fondo a scrivere un blog devo divertirmi io, come voi a leggerlo. Purtroppo per i miei amici stranieri, ho deciso di scrivere questo e tutti i futuri post esclusivamente in italiano, per semplicità e praticità, nulla più.

Per coloro che conoscono anche il mio canale Youtube RPGZephir, ho intenzione di riportare in vita anche quello, continuando, tra le altre cose, il Let's Play commentato di "Megaman Legends", compresa la traduzione italiana, più anche un progettino segreto a cui sto lavorando. Tuttavia questo richiederà un pò più di tempo, dato che sto uscendo or ora da un'influenza piuttosto aggressiva.

Detto questo, per ora non ho altro da dire, ci si vede presto!

Bravely Default out in North America

So, I heard you americans can finally play Bravely Default now....good x3

If you're not playing it already, I'll personally torture you untill you do :3

Seriously, it's the best RPG ever released in years, probably one of my personal 2013 GOTY; you really have to play it, nostalgia factor aside, it's really good. If you show interest in the game, the upcoming sequel will not take very long to be released in the West.

Go play it, trust me x3

Bravely Default is amazing

Nothing else to say x3
Demo is out on the eShop, download it now! >:3

When a console fails...

I bet we're all waiting for the new generation of home console, PS4 and XBox One looks amazing and they promise wonders.

Still, I want to spend some words on two current gen consoles, that are hardly trying to get more audience but somehow they just don't seem to interest anybody.

I'm talking about the Wii U and PSVita, who failed to meet the expectations of their creators in the short run and their future is definitely not bright...

Wii U is a relatively old system, slighty more powerful than the current gen home consoles, but the major game companies are now focused on the next gen, making it hard to develop software for it, and also including special controls for their tablet/controller.

PSVita is a powerful handled, but it lacks INTERESTING software: most of his games are porting or remakes of PS3 games and the really interesting exclusives are not enough to sell the system.

Both Nintendo and Sony are trying to fix those things, each with his own methods: Nintendo is trying to gain supports from the 3rd parties to develop their multiplatform games on their console too, while developing games from their most famous franchises, instead Sony recently announced a new PSVita version, trying to appeal at a wider audience.

Personally, I highly doubt they will be able to fix their troubles only with those choices, but, in all fairness, I guess PSVita is in a better position, Sony clearly wanted to push the sales of the console, offering a price cut and a cheaper more interesting version.

I hope that Nintendo will find a way to get up too: their home console might not be the best, but there are indeed interesting games, like Dragon Quest X, The Wonderful 101, the upcoming Bayonetta 2 and several Nintendo games and they need to be acknowledged.

What's your opinion in it, let me know!

Animal Crossing stole my life

Well, it happened x3

I'm so focused on "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" that I almost forgot I have a blog, it's that good

The interesting thing is that the game is not THAT special, it's really a basic, almost childish, life simulation game.

But the incredible amount of things to buy to customize your house, to build in the city and to buy for yourself is really impressive.

The online multiplay is also well done, sometimes I go online with it only for being able to chat with friends (something that the 3DS itself lacks).

So yea, this game it's so simple in his concept, it's impossible not to love it x3 

And I have still to finish "Fire Emblem: Awakening"...I'm afraid it'll have to wait a lot xD

E3 impressions

Well guys, you know it, E3 is gone and we were able to see a lot of stuff, both good and bad, awesome and terrible, "OHMYFUCKINGGODTHATSAWESOME" and "WHATTHEFUCKISTHISSHIT".

I'll try to sum my thoughts on the main conferences and then give my personal "awards" to the games and the events that happened.

The third option

In a world where Europeans are playing their newly released "Persona 4 Arena" or where the 2-digit amout of people who own PSVita are grinding their social links in "Persona 4 the Golden", I decided to take the third option

Yup, I found and bought at a super reasonable price, "Persona 4" for PS2, PAL-ITA version, new and complete with bonus soundtrack CD, lucky me x3

(And yes, I didn't own the game...untill now, so, yay again, one more j-RPG added to the list x3)
