About Me


Favorite games include: most strategy games, but honestly I'll try anything, so I end up with a nice mix of games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Halo 2, Civilizations 4, WarCraft 2 (TWO, not 3, and Don't even talk to me about W.O.W. or you shall die a horrible death) and many many others.

Avg Weekly GameTime: 30+ hours

I play console and PC games, but sadly havn't gotten around to getting an XBox360, or a PS3.

now that the IMPOTANT stuff is out of the way xD I'm a 19 yr old Female, living in a Hell Hole state that I can't wait to get out of and go back home (to Missouri), this Hell Hole goes by the Name of Houston, Tx. But don't be fooled by the English name it has, this city was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.

I'm pretty much your avg. nerd.. except on a couple traits, but we don't need to get into those.. and to prove it, I have (havn't played her in a long while though) a lvl 74 Silvan/Drow (I can give you the very... interesting back story to that if you understand why that's ridiculous) xD


Potius mori quam foedari
(Rather to die than to be dishonoured)

oh ya...

Time for a PC Game Review #3
Kyttie | 8:35 AM on 10.27.2007 20 comments


DToid tends to lean more towards the Console games, but I honestly prefer PC games :) so I'm gonna give a couple reviews on some of my favorite all time PC Games :P

#3. Flyff

Now I know most of you are like "wtf is Flyff?!" Well until a month or so ago, I had never heard of it either. In my opinion their advertising was horrible, I just happened to stumble across it from another site that was advertising another site.... :\




I didn't feel like getting on and taking my own screenshot :P sorry... anyway, if you've ever played Ragnorak Online, you'll love this game, but don't think it's just like RO, it's wayyyy better, this game is MUCH more... I guess you could say Dynamic.. a little slower, it actually HAS a storyline (takes a little searching to get into it), and it's wayyy bigger..

The Graphics: The charectors are set up kind of like PS2 chars would be, but for an MMORPG, I don't think that's too bad, you have full control over your view of a very nice 3D world, and if you're still comparing it to RO the enemies are definitely a lot cooler from what I've seen so far. From what I can tell, every piece of armor, every weapon, hat, everything, changes your appearance, and then add in all the different looks for each job and job class, and you have yourself a very nice set of diverse chars.

Flyff stands for "Fly For Fun" which, in my opinion, sounds gay, so we'll just go with Flyff (which I think sounds pretty kewl, lol) but, IT IS A FREE MMORPG! so you should at least give it a try. Like all RPGs lvling is easy at first, and you're stuck on a smaller island, but once you get to lvl 20, you can start using hoverboards and all sorts of flying contraptions to get you around the world, but until then, you're hikin' it.

There are always a lot of people on, you can 99.9% of the time, walk out of where you are and see a ton of people running around, and one of the best things, is I've never experienced any lag with this game (except once when they were having some server difficulties that have been fixed now). One of the drawbacks is that leveling gets pretty slow at about level 15ish, and you just kinda have to deal with it until you can kill some of the stronger things on your island. The only other drawback I've seen so far was that the Tutorial (which is a cute little duck/panguin guy trying to teach you how to do shit) is completely screwed up, like it told me how to do something, and then would wait for me to do it, about 15 minutes later after I had LONG figured out what I was doing, it was like "ok, now do.." something else, lol.. but ti's not required or anything, and most of the people around are willing to take a bit out of their time and teach you wtf you're doing :) but it's pretty simple really.

the controls are either: Point and Click, simple enough, or, if you like (which I know you do), you can use WASD controls to move around. Also there's a huge map that you can view and move around like that, if you don't wanna bother seeing people or monsters, or obsticles :\ but it does help quite a bit when you have a specific place your going... it also kinda makes things funny when you're out running around and you see someone running directly into a tree and not moving, you know they're using the map :)

Either way, this game is at least worth a download, mind you it IS a little big, and there are quite a few updates to d/l when you get it, but it's a HELL OF A LOT simpler then RO is to set up (on a free server). All ya gotta do is Download, Open, Wait for it to d/l the updates, and then it restarts the game, and you're done, simple as that... the site you d/l it from was incredibly fast when I downloaded it, I was getting 650Kb+ per second on my cable, which is pretty damned fast for a cable :)

I give this game about a 9/10 again... like I said, these are my all time favorites :)

btw, you can download it here

I play Flyff. There are a few other games offered by gpotato that are decent as well. I will expand more when I write my own Flyff post. =)

I played this for a coupe of weeks. It's good that it's free! It does get a bit repetitive after a while though. But still fun to play with friends if you need some distraction :)

I wish for the love of f'n christ that EA would bring Alice to console, it was good on the PC but I think it should've been a console game. And good reveiw never heard of the game but it looks cool.

i have to admit, it looks slightly generic and your review hanst really highlighted anything to make me think its not.

it looks alright i guess. certainly looks better than 9 Dragons. God that game was shit. Though it was kinda cool to see a martial arts-themed mmo.

but if i want to play MMOs I'll just stick with good ol' WOW until Age of Conan comes out ^_^

Sounds decent, but I'm just getting into Anarchy Online, which to me seems like a better MMO.

While I'm all for the PC love - the more the better - I'm not sure this particular game is worthy of such adulation. While I haven't actually played flyff, it looks remarkably similar to tales of pirates online, down to an identical interface and class system, as well as the direct parallel between getting a flyer and a pirate ship. If flyff is anything like TOP, I don't think it's worth the time invested. The problem with free MMORGPS, even good ones like space cowboy, is lack of content. There just aren't enough quests, and the quests are almost all entirely the same. Grindfest is an understatement. In my reckoning, if you really have to play a MMORPG, it is just simply worth your funds to shell out for WoW or something, or even guild wars if you don't like the idea of subscriptions.

Cool, it sounds like a solid game to try out. And if there are still a ton of people playing, then it's definitely worth a shot.

Oh, this is interesting. My little bro plays this, but I wouldn't even look at it. After reading your review, perhaps I'll give it a try. After I get through the mountain of awesomeness that is the Holiday Console Line-up. Good Work, Kyttie, nice to see you back.

I've never played Flyff, but I've heard relatively good things about it. I might need to give it a shot.
