Day 01 - Your first video game:
Well, to be totally honest, I don't remember the first video game I ever played. But yes, I've had this console which was sorta like the NES and we had these cartridges which had a lot of games in 'em. Mario was one of those. And must say, I was hooked in those days. I don't really like platforming games now, I'll admit. But back in those days when I was totally new to the gaming scene, I had fun with Mario. :)
Day 02 - Your favourite character:
Haha, do I even need to say it? In case you didn't get the hint, I'll spell it out : That guy is Dante from the Devil May Cry series of games. But you know what? It has been only a few months since I started playing games from the DMC franchise. And out of four games that were released, I could only play the third and the fourth installment because the first and the second installments were strictly console-only games. Still, the fact that this character became my favorite video game character in such a short period of time is something. There are quite a lot of things that I like about him - One of those being the fact that he never gets intimidated by anybody and spouts nonsense which infuriates the bad guy even more. XD; For example, I look at these dialogs:
Cerberus: Leave now, mortal! The likes of you are forbidden in this land. You, who are powerless, are not worthy to set foot here.
Dante: Wow, I've never seen a talking mutt before. You know in a dog show, you'd definitely take the first place.
Cerberus: You, a mere human, make a mockery of me?
Dante: Easy, Fido! How about I take you out for a walk? Come on, puppy. Let's go!
Cerberus: You'll regret this you worm!
Dante: It's showtime. Come on!
The boss is several times bigger than dante. A picture of him:
...and then we move on to fight him. n_n; Apart from his attitude, there are quite a lot of other things that make him badass. And I love badass characters! XD; He can be serious at times, too, if required. But then again, he knows when to joke and when not to. The thing is, he is very powerful. And he
knows it. This is what makes him spout one-liners around bosses because he knows he'll defeat 'em. In fact, in the games, it seems like the character never has any problems defeating any boss character.
Even though the player may have to go through hell to defeat any particular boss. The bosses ARE hard. But after every fight, Dante is like 'Yeah, this was so easy'. So, in short, I love him because he is:
i)
Badass: His attitude. I love it. Dante is, in fact, badassery personified.
ii)
Cool: I find him 00ber cool. :DDD
iii)
Funny: Just watch
this. Beware though, may contain dialogs not suitable for people of all ages.
iv)
Is better than GARY ************* OAK Is VERY strong
v) He is loveable. <3;
I like his brother Vergil too. But not as much as Dante.
Day 03 - A game that is underrated
Okami? I've heard SO MANY good things about it. Even the critics were pretty damn impressed. Plus, it was a game which Devil May Cry creator 'Hideki Kamiya' (a genius) himself made. Although I never played it, I think it wouldn't hurt to say that it
is an underrated game. It had it all - innovative gameplay, good fights and storyline but still failed to make rake in the mullah. As for the games I
have played - I haven't really played many games which didn't, ultimately, turn out to be big hits. And I don't know if this game would fit into this category because I'm not aware of how popular it was, but eh, here goes nothing -
Real Wars. A real time strategy game. I first played it when I was probably 9 or 10 and I used to love it. Can't really think of any other game.
