Today, after months of my husband's anticipation, Final Fantasy 13 has been released.
Phone call from the husband this morning at 8:20am – He had already been to Target, purchased the game and had come home. I didn’t even know Target OPENED before 10am! (and I thought I was the one with the Target love affair…)
I left the house today saying, "goodbye, have a good day, see you in two weeks!" Because for about that duration of time, my TV, PS3 and couch will be occupied every non-working, or bathroom moment until the game is conquered in all of it’s entirety.
Now, I don’t really have anything against video games. People who know me, realize that I actually play a few. Actually, up until last night I have never played a video game all the way through from start to finish before! That all changed with the game Heavy Rain…but that is another story.
At least this means that I should have the computer and the Wii all to myself for the next few weeks while Derick tries to master the new game. I also have a book that I want to get through and that will more easily be accomplished without the TV being free - not that I watched much TV to begin with.
So this game was introduced to me by none other than my husband. He thought that I would like the game based on the demos of the gameplay that he watched prior to getting the game from Gamefly. I thought I would give it a shot as I had watched and played one sequence of the game myself.
After playing the game through one time, I am not sure that I would play it again. It seemed to take a long time to get through the game, even though it was about a 10-hour game (which I am told is a short game). I played the game in smaller chunks of time, and it took me about 4 days to beat the game. I find it kind of funny that Derick recommended the game to me because he knows my likes and dislikes of games and movies. I do not like scary movies and I do not like things jumping out at me or that cause me to jump. This game had BOTH of those things happen throughout the gameplay! There were a couple of moments where I was actually afraid and panicked and had to hit pause to think about it for a second!
So yeah, I think I will stick to my puzzle games and car racing games for the moment. I just need a new snowboarding game like SSX to come out and then I will be SET!!
Game on,
