Bloodborne

Sorry for the long hiatus.

Anyone of you heard about Bloodborne?
It is an action game developed by From Software released under Sony Computer Entertainment.
It is the new flagship of the Souls Series (Demons Souls, Dark Souls) which created by the father of Souls games, Miyazaki Hidetaka. It was released in the West around March 24-25 2015 and released on 26th in Japan.

I heard about these souls series from my university colleagues.
Ever since the Demon Souls release, I always hear the warnings they tell.
It is a new kind of game that involves mastering the controls, 
the enemy move patterns, no pause which make this game 
Hard Core no doubt its predecessors received popularity making it 
Special.

I havent played the souls series so I dont have an idea how hard is the game
especially for beginners.

I got curious and wanted to try something new which made me buy a copy 
of this game. 

Upon exploring the game, it is no doubt that there's no beginner's luck here.
Just like the new beginners, I died a lot due to fear of the enemy and the
fear of losing Blood Echoes which is like the currency of the game. 

I reached to a point that without mastering the controls and enemy move 
patterns, I will not be able to proceed.

Later on, I noticed myself coming up with different strategies like using the 
environment to my advantage etc.

Some of the boss will take hours to defeat.Your strategy, tactics and your 
reflexes is heavily tested by this game most of the time.

It doesn't mean you are Lv 100 you wont be killed.
Letting your guard down here will surely do you at your disadvantage. 
Just like real life.

After 4 weeks of playing I cleared the game. This is my first time to clear a 
Souls/Borne game and I can say its is an awesome experience and worth it.

Totally different on the normal games I got used to. In addition to it, 
is yourself that you need to overcome. Fear, Greed, Panic, Relax are some 
of the things I think the player must handle also to proceed the game.

Tip

Aside from soloing Bloodborne, you and your friends can meet and do 
"Jolly Cooperation" as they call in the game.

From the Title screen, choose PLAY ONLINE to go online. 
To use this online function, you should have an active PS Plus 
subscription in order to use on connecting online.

Unlike MMORPG games, bloodborne dont show other players as MMORPG 
worlds show it. Instead other players are showed as some sort of a 
ghost silhoutte. You and your acquaintance should have at least 1 Mbps 
or above download speed coz below that the forming of party 
will not succeed.

To all Vocaloid fans

Long time no see!

About Vocaloids, it was 4 years ago when I first heard them.
It's not hard to like Miku, Luka, Meiko and Rin, and the unique music which when heard is like you're in dreamland.

Have you heard about Kitano Kamui?
She's Hokkaido's Vocaloid idol.

I happen to see this post on my wall which is posted on fb page SAVE MIKU 初音ミクを助けます！

It was said that she's a vocaloid and the company holding her is in danger of bankrupt
But if her FB page and Twitter account gets 30,000+ supporters, they will continue her release!

The petition is true. The Japanese texts as you can see, outcries for help.

Playstation 2: Another Century's Episode

Super Robot Taisen / Wars plays well on recreating a stories with Gundams, Macross and Super Robots (Voltes V, Mazinger, Daimos fans), meeting in one game. To battle their opponents is a cool idea to

Another Century's Episode (アナザーセンチュリーズエピソード in Japanese) is an action 3D game developed by From Software and published by Banpresto, released in Japan in 2005. Selected aces from different mecha series were here specially the Gundam Wing Mobile Suit. Maybe the game was named "ACE" due to the selected mecha aces. ACE is somehow Super Robot Taisen's 3D equivalent.

Gameplay

First thing to remember, Japanese PS2 games uses (Circle) to confirm and (Cross) to cancel.

From the Main Menu select FREE MISSIONS with . To Unlock FREE MISSIONS. You can obtain a save from the internet and transfer it on your Memory Card using ulaunchelf.

When you're already on the FREE MISSIONS, on the left of the screen and there are menus, select OPTIONS and there, set the Controller to セミオート (Semi-auto) as shown.

Change to セミオート (Semi-auto) the Controller

Then press to go back to the FREE MISSIONS. Then press on the SELECT UNIT option.

FREE MISSIONS Main Screen

The SELECT UNIT features most of Gundam Wing's ACEs mobile suits. It also features Nu Gundam, Sazabi from Char's Counter Attack, Zeta Gundam, Hyaku Shiki from Z Gundam.

Then select MISSIONS by pressing . Its the same with SELECT UNIT so I leave this part to you.

Then you are ready to launch. Press to select LAUNCH.

The controls are:

Left Analog = Maneuver

Right Analog = Camera (inverted) 

= Sub weapon
= Use boosters
= Target lock-on. Pressing again will switch targets
= Main Weapon
L1 = Other Weapon 1
L2 = Other Weapon 2
R1 = Raises MS Up
R2 = Lowers MS Down

L3+R3 = Special Ability

With a cute operator Ruri from Nadesico

Have you played flight simulator games before? Maneuvering a mobile suit in ACE feels like your flying a jet but in a mobile suit sense. Whenever I used boost Ｘ together by slowly pressing R1 or R2, I feel the smoothness of the flight! The sound is perfect and will make you feel the pilot of the mobile suit. A worth collecting game.

Otadex / オタ図鑑/オタデックス?

Maybe you tripped over a rock and happen to land on this blog. Anyway thank you. Many of you are familiar with Pikachu Bulbasaur Charmander Squirtle I assume that you at least heard the term "Pokedex" in Pokemon.

Mew (Pokemon Green Version)

For those who are unfamiliar, Pokedex, ポケモン図鑑（ポケモンずかん, Pokemon Zukan）is a device developed by Professor Oak and used by Pokemon Trainers to analyze and register Pokemon's elemental type, its characteristics, abilities, etc.

The point of this site is very much like the Pokedex, I named the site "Otadex" in which "Ota" stands for "Otaku " and "dex" borrowed from the term in Pokedex.. And about "Rare Pokemons". Many of you remember Mew, Celebi and others. All of those who played Generation 1 and 2 Pokemon Games in Gameboy knows the feeling when you have those "Rare Pokemons".  So the point is to discover those rare, Japanese stuffs, especially games that received a little or no attention at all to the English-speaking world.

おたのしみに！またね！
