YARGH.

Okay. Sooooo, I started playing Sengoku Basara.

Shortly after being absolutely RAPED by the FIRST BOSS (Itsuki/Puff), I realized that MAYBE I should be playing this on easy.

The first few stages were... fun. Definitely. Date Masamune/Azure Dragon sure as HELL packs a punch, and his smug little remarks are pure frelling win. The problems start once the more 'specialized' stages come to play. Like the stage where Tadakatsu Honda/Iron Ox chases you around while you SOMEHOW attempt to breach your way to Tokugawa Ieyasu/Irdene. Or the frelling Red Minotaur Cavalary (Is there an infinite supply of these horseback-riding-motherfuckers?!).

After being raped by these stages multiple times I decided that this PARTAY should wait until I DON'T feel like dropping a few tactical nuclear warheads on enemy territory. XD

On a side note. I like killing things. Who would've thought.

(On another side note I also replayed and finished Phantasy Star II again. I seriously love Amy. Anna is farking awesome too.)

Capcom are infamous for bumping the difficulty level up a notch for international releases. Like, the Japanese Normal is the International Easy >>; Bastards. That's one of the reasons they're awesome, mind.

Still a pain in the desu for people like me who REALLY fail at action-y type games, but hey, practice makes perfect.

... And yeah, the funny thing about this game is how adorably SATISFYING it is to just run into a MASSIVE ARMY and start hacking it to subatomic -fragments- with your swords before they can even touch you XD

Yeah, I heard that before. The US version of Capcom games say, their "Normal" is European "Fucking Psychotic"... Apparently the Japanese game devlopers for European releases deem us to be mighty intelligent. Hahaha... never been to the UK then. (Though we do drive on the correct side of the road like our Japanese cousins.. ;p)

I'd still rather lose my sanity on a difficult game than numb the brain with something insanely easy. ^^;
