September 4th, 2010

Final Fantasy XIV (PC): I finally made it into the beta. You know, the open beta that isn't open because applications must be approved, and they keep closing apps for sometimes a day. Of course, stupid me, I couldn't get the installer working, only to see a similar issue on a forum with the solution being "restart." I did last night, and it worked, so it took a few more hours throughout the day to get it going!

Impressions? It's gorgeous, but I think I'll need an upgrade, because I'm only rocking mid-teens in terms of framerate unless I drop the settings all to the lowest. Then I'm hitting early thirties, but it looks a lot worse!

Tam and I palled around a bit, messing with the paltry list of emotes (better than XI's, but still pretty chintzy... I miss PSU, where we had close to triple digits. :/ Did some fighting, and there's no auto-attack, which is weird, but kinda neat because it keeps you active. No death penalty, which is cool, and you seem to run faster than you did by default in XI.

Overall? I'm still pretty stoked for XIV, although I'm really worried about the system requirements and the dread "Fatigue System."

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (360): Myself, my bro and my mom all joined up and fired up the game, making some decent progress on the Legendary difficulty mode! Pretty hardcore! We only had about an hour an a half though before Mom's Bleach show came on, but still! A good start, I think we beat the first boss or so!

Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP): Just a little further! One mission in February, slowly but surely!
