So anyway, what to talk about? Oh yeah....
I played Persona today. For those of you who don't know, it's a game for the original Playstation. The basic idea is that this group of kids accidentally performs a summoning ritual for a bunch of demons, which separates the town off from the rest of the world, but also gives them the ability to summon aspects of their own personalities (the eponymous personas) to inflict massive damage. And that's about as far as I got. You see, when the demons hit, you're in a hospital, visiting your friend (who might also be psychic). Here's where the problems in the game first arise. First of all, the controls ARE TERRIBLE for this. I always end up turning around in circles. Second of all, WHAT SORT OF RETARDED ARCHITECT PUTS THE STAIRS GOING UP AND THE STAIRS GOING DOWN ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE BUILDING. WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT. So I ended up walking around in circles for a good while, and of course, monsters were jumping out at me every few seconds. Which takes me to my second complaint. The menu system was terrible. None of the idiotic people traipsing around with me would ever end up doing what I wanted them to do. And of course, the menus took forever to navigate, leading me to give up in frustration.
So then I played Final Fantasy Seven. It was a lot better.
