I found out today that not only is Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords hard to find it also doesn't run on the DSi :( :( :( Feeling rather gutted about this after watching some stellar reviews for it, I went on the forum and saw that it was being compared to Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. Now by a rather bizzare coincidence that is the exact game I picked up for $30 (Canadian) from my EB Games this morning. Now with people comparing the games to each other, I must know: Since my DSi wont run Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords, did I buy the next best thing?
I just felt alot of sumpaty to the TC in realising that he is unable / not allowed to immerse himself into the imaginary world of a game.
The netherworld is not hell at all. - its a alternate dimension there are as many netherwolds as there are stars in the sky and each has a entirely unique setting, the only similarity is that they are controlled by demons who behave oposite of what we would find good in a humorous way such as not brushing your teeth!attending school makes you a delinquent while skipping ****s makes you a demon honor student. laharl's dad is not satan at all - infact he is a big supporter to begin a truce/partnership with celestia and humans
In japanese games demon's often fill in the same role as greek mythological creatures, they are neither good or evil and only tend to theyr own world. You have agressive beastly demons (think ifrit from FF) and passive intelectual demons (think shiva also from ff).
The goal of a RPG is to immerse yourself into a entirely diverent world, not being able to ignore old fashioned traditional realworldthoughts destroys a big portion of the magic. If a game has small baseballs that can make entire buildings float i'l just accept that within the gajme world, in the same way demons may be good (smt series for example)and the angels may be evil (bayonetta has "evil" angels for example)

All true. And I'd like to point out that my Friend's little Brothers watch Yugioh and Bakugan, and there is always talk of "Dark Realmes" and "Enternal Darkess Valleys" and things like that. I think the Japanese have a facination with Mythology andOuter Darkness :lol:
Dude! Thanks for introducing me to Might and Magic Clash of Heroes! If it weren't for that game, I would have come home with nothing today! I was originally going to try and find FF XII Revenant Wings, but yesterday you told me about this game, so I wanted to get it as well. I repeat, Thank you! I searched everywhere for Revenant Wings. Not a copy to be had ANYWHERE! And only EB Games had Clash of Heroes! For an "Unknown" game it sure sells well! Only two copies left in the whole store, and no Used ones. So yes, because of YOU mate, I was able to get a new game today. If not, I would have come home with nothing! Cheers! :D
As a Mormon I can understand that you don't want to play as the devil. But you have to understand that in Video games like this, the Devil is an Animated Character with a fake personality. He is not real. He cannot harm you, he cannot give you temptation, and playing the game will certainly not be viewed as Sacrilege to your real life beliefs. You sound an intelligent person, and you hold your beliefs strong. Therefore I know that this game is not going to change you. Video games usually do not inspire evil. The lunatics that make Game reality into real life are simply deranged, and are unaware of the barrier between fantasy, and reality. This is a game. Nothing more. It is simply made to be a creative and original game idea. If you want it, you should buy it. I hold my beliefs strong as well, and I play Gears of War :lol:
Your mother bought you two games and a DS for getting Detention?!? Bugger me, that's just....wow! Closest I ever got to that was in Grade 5 when I was playing with Popsicle sticks. I broke one in half, and tried to put it back together. I pushed to hard I guess and it slipped and next thing I know I have a rather visible massive spinter that's gone all the way up and under my Thumb nail! I went to the Nurse, she couldn't get it out. So they called my Dad and told me I would have to go to the Doctor. But in the car, Dear old Dad decided he was more than equipped with his Armyknife tweezersto take on the job. A lot of screaming, Cussing, and a bit of Blood later, and it was out. Then my Dad took me toToys' R' Usand bought me Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone for Gameboy Colour. What a game that turned out to be! Best RPG I had ever played at the time.
