Music Banter - What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

http://howlongtobeat.com/gameimages/..._Dark_Dawn.jpg

Literally the only reason i picked up this game was because it was on sale on Amazon.com for $7.

What I found was a pretty good RPG with large puzzle elements and an interesting combat system based on collecting elemental creatures and utilizing them in different combinations. This is apparently part of an RPG series that dates back to the Game Boy Advance too.

From what I've been reading from people who've played the previous installments, this game doesn't really do much to innovate on previous titles, and the combat and puzzle solving is a bit dumbed down from previous, but as someone who's playing casually on and off, this is pretty enjoyable.

You never played Golden Sun? :yikes:

The first installment remains one of the best handheld games I've ever played, definitely check it out.

Golden Sun! Omg! It was my first video game obsession that got me into RPGs. Forever will remain nostalgic since, as well, it was the first forum experience (for the game) I've been regularly active at.

The composition and battle system is fantastic for gameboy advance. Especially in those days. I thoroughly liked the story as well.

I haven't seen this instalment around though. :(

There are some fantastic Christmas offers on gog.com these days :) I just picked up Icewind Dale for a few bucks there.

$1000 seems like a good entry point

$1000 if a great entry point it'll get you covered nicely. One thing to keep in mind is future upgrades and whether or not you feel that you'd be the kind of person who just wants to swap out aging components every 12-18 months or who would just rather swap machines entirely.

If you think you'll be an upgrader then don't skimp on the motherboard, get something high end and fill it with mid-range components.

On the other hand if you'll just use the one machine until it runs into the ground then get a mid-range mobo and fill it with the best components it can support.

The first trilogy was fun. You have to sort of ignore the poor writing, but I enjoyed it at least. When I started the second trilogy though, all of a sudden it became one of the dumbest things I'd ever read. Stopped like a fourth of the way through the first book and will probably never give it another chance.

If you're willing to get fiddly with the inside components and have a basic understanding of how computers work the component method will probably be better in the long run. If you're someone like me who's cack handed and completely hopeless with technology of any kind then just buying a new rig every few years will be a bit easier on your brain and hands.

You still buy all your parts individually though and not a factory model, right?
