Dragon Nest – Review

Sander — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:23:53 +0000

Here are my thoughts on the new MMO, Dragon Nest, with its anime style graphics and dungeon style map and game play.

I’ve played a lot of MMO games, and Dragon Nest is my latest venture into the land of virtual adventures.

Since Dragon Nest is relatively new, there are still a lot of limitations, for starters guys are only limited to Warrior and Cleric type characters, and even if you cross dress as a female, you can only have Mage and Archer type characters. The starting selection is currently too traditional and limited, but hopefully that will change in the future.

The graphics is OK for the most part, the scenery, backgrounds and buildings are all well implemented but sadly the characters graphics are like failed attempts at Anime for me. To be fair the costumes look good, they even show earrings when you were them, not sure if diamond rings would show up though.

I wonder why the game size of Dragon Nest is already at 1.9 GB, I was expecting tremendous improvements in graphics and audio with that big a file. Sadly it did not deliver much in these aspects. I remember even WOW was not that big back in 2009 when I played, but the graphics and sound were good.

Speaking of sound, that is another downside for Dragon Nest, I was expecting to hear voices when you speak with NPCs for quests but sadly there are none.

What makes Dragon Nest special is its fast paced fight mechanics. Its like taking the concept of button mashing games like God of War and turned it into an MMO. You get to mash for random combos or mix and match your skills and attacks for the most efficient and awe inspiring combos. This alone makes the game worth playing. I also like the idea of being able to select difficulty levels for each dungeon.

I haven’t progressed too far into the game so I will provide future follow up reviews, so far I will give it a 4 out of 5 as I am satisfied with Dragon Nest.

PSP3 Games

More than a year ago, I bought a PS3 unit for myself. Playing games in my spare time relaxes me and gives me the much needed recreation after a long day of hard work. Little did I know that in a span of a year my son would be the one playing my PSP. He has become so adept at playing ps3 games that I myself am impressed. His favorite games of course are racing games but he also loves games involving his favorite characters like Spongebob, Woody from Toy Story, and Diego. I know that pretty soon he will be beating me in my favorite Play Station games. How fast time flies!

WWE Smack Down Vs Raw 2010 (PSP) – Review

Sander — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 02:16:05 +0000

Being a fan of Wrestling, I have to try the new WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 game, even though I am expecting that the game will most likely be the same as the previous years release, with a few added features and changes. And yes I was right, the latest version of WWE Smackdown vs Raw did not add much to the graphics, or to lessen the loading time. It is basically the same as it’s predecessors, just with some minor adjustments to the gameplay and updated roster. Anyway, being a fan, I am still enjoying the game but for people that are not inteested in WWE, they will probably not waste their time to try and learn the many complicated moves and reversals, and not to mention the stories. I was hoping that they at leaet improved the graphics aspect, if not the story. Maybe use cad drawing with 3d. Bottomline: this game gets a 3.5 out of 5 score.

Grand Fantasia – Installation

Sander — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:13:55 +0000

Recently I’ve been hooked to an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game called Grand Fantasia. I saw a screenshot of the game from a friend and it reminded me of my World of Warcraft days. So having been bored that day I went and searched for the game, checked out some videos and more screencaps – and that convinced me to try it. This was how I was able to set it up.

First I searched for Grand Fantasia Download and I got this link. Then I just followed the prompts there to download and it downloaded the installer which is around 600+MB. While downloading I registered a user account here. After downloading I installed the game. I thought I can play it immediately but my excitement was cut short when it had to download a bunch of updates for the game before I can start. After the updates I was finally able to enter the log-in screen and there began my adventures in the world of Grand Fantasia… (To be continued)
