What I Played Today: September 9

Mega Man ZX Advent, (disclosed)

I picked up my DS today wondering out loud, “How long has it been since I’ve picked this up?” I found my answer when I looked at the game in the DS slot was Mega Man ZX Advent, a game I had purchased over six months ago at PAX East, played on the plane, and then never picked up again because the boss was too hard. So it was time to pick it up again and take care of it, and after sitting through a series of cutscenes twice, I finally figure out the stupid boss’s pattern and killed without taking a hit (the way to do it was to charge up your attack. You know, like every other Mega Man game.) So, hurry, I’m passed that point and…suddenly bored again. In this game, instead of just taking the power of the boss that you defeat, you actually gain the ability to turn into the boss in question…which is stupid. I don’t want to be some racist jackrabbit caricature, I want to be Mega Man. Make Mega Man look cool by taking parts of the boss’s uniform or something, don’t just copy his big stupid model and call it a day.

Also played more of the game I can’t talk about. Might make a policy not to bring it up, since nobody gains nothing when I keep talking about how I want to talk about it.
