Final Fantasy XIV

Now that a true rating is out ffxiv is worth only a 4/10. With tons of problems posted, the only thing worth commending is the slightly better looking graphics. Fortunately i didn't buy the game man, now i don't even know if the ps3 version will release lol. The storyline, graphics, quests and everything are fine when i tried the beta other than the mouselag and limited controls over the character. Well, there goes another series. 4 heroes of light isn't too bad so far, but it's too simple an rpg for modern age gaming man. There's almost no strategy involved.

Pokemon Black & White



For any pokemon fans, pokemon black and white is a must-have. It features totally new pokemon and some new moves. I must say though, that most of the news moves are creative but not practical when used in the battle subway (with a few exception like Butterfly Dance). The pokemon, although new, bears resemblance of previous versions like the leopard with mightyena and raticate with the the meerhog. However, the new pokemon will still look fresh and appeal to its players.

There is a new leveling system, whereby the experience gained is higher when your pokemon's level is closer to the opponent's pokemon. It allows the player to explore more pokemon rather than sticking to only the 6 pokemon that you're holding. In mid-game, you'll be given the mystery egg which will greatly boost experience gain even further, and you'll level roughly every 3-4 hard battles.

The battle tower is replaced by a battle subway. It's just the change in name, however the system is still the same. You earn battle points after winning a consecutive 7 battles. However, now you can choose from the easy railway line or the hard railway line. At the 21st and 49th battle, you'll face the battle master of the railway and earn more battle points. This system should be improved so that there is more end game replayability and development.

End game levels for your pokemon is now higher at level 7x-8x. The 2nd time you face the elite four would be the "official" one, and their pokemon will be at 7x. The intermission level gap after the first faceoff is a huge gap from 48-50 to 7x. After the first elite four faceoff, the wild pokemon and trainers have a sudden level jump to 6x and some grinding will be needed, or you'll be struggling. It is now easier to raise your effort value points to maxed as it's easier to reach lvl 100.

The entire layout and display has changed to a more interactive landscape with seasons, and some vibrating pixels that signifies rare pokemon. The design of the buildings have become more 3-D and a more realistic environment, like moving vehicles and ships. However, it is wasted there are no major battles or events at such places, and it's usually just a long walk alongside the beauty of it.

Overall, pokemon black is worth playing with it's new battle systems (single, double, triple and rotational battles), seasonal changes, underwater ruins, dreamworld and new pokemon moves and outlook.

Next game: Final Fantasy - The 4 heroes of light out today! And i got until October 19 before Naruto ultimate ninja storm 2 is out :D, same day as the release of Lufia - Curse of the Sinistrals

Singapore Public Tranport System

Ok i think i never fail to get pissed by Singapore's Public Transport System. During off peak hours especially, the transport system assumes that nobody is using it. Well is it a joke when the total waiting time of traveling to NUS taking a train followed by bus is longer than the journey? No! At least it isn't for Singapore.

The train waiting time for off peak hours is 7-9 min, i've even met with 11 min waiting time. That aside. And i waited for 97, not for the first time, and so i was counting how many other buses passed by, like 10 RWS8 buses, 5 143 buses and even the most erratic 61 had 3 buses passing by. So the holy waiting time for 97 today was 25 min, just 5 min longer than the average waiting time and almost 3 times the indicated waiting time written on the board, given that i am so UNLUCKY i stress to ALWAYS hit the maximum waiting time indicated. WOW! Today is my lucky day i guess, like everyday uhuh while waiting for buses. So my waiting time today was 9+25 min = 34 minutes while my journey was 15+20=35 minutes (excluding walking). Compared to the public transport systems of other developed countries, of course, our efficiency of the public transport is a farcry from countries like Hong Kong and London with train waiting time of 2-3minutes the most.

Liar game - The Final Stage



Bwahahahahah. Very nice movie. Of course, it's of the liar game series. The setting of this movie is at the end of the liar game itself, the last and final game the garden of eden. The ending had a nice explanation of why is there liar game, the question that has been revolving throughout the manga or drama series. But this is far from the truth, liar game has not even ended yet haha, and this is definitely not the final game for the official manga wooooot. Although it has elements of liar game, the tricks in the game are more predictable than the manga. Still, there are many twists that make the movie a MUST WATCH aside from Erika Toda.
