What are you currently playing?

[Foryth]

...Cathedral...hmmm...I don't remember that part, but then again I know the paths are really different.

I think it's the last dungeon, and I also think it's in all paths. They aren't all that different, since you go to all the same cities and dungeons, but the bosses you choose to beat is what mostly differs. In neutral path I end up usualy fighting both the law and chaos bosses.

[TheLD]

Yeah you're past me, the neutral path seems pretty tough! I'll have to try that my next playthrough.

BTW my lil bro was watching me play and he asked me why do I only have girls in my team. I didn't really get what he was saying (I was like, they're demons not humans...besides the angle that's like a heavenly being.), but then I figured he was wondering why I only had female demons.

I told him, "Well...they look good so I ask them to join me!"

"Aren't you a pimp then?"

:lol: gotta love a ten year old's thought process.

[Constraint]

Beat Dead Space. The ending was pretty damn creepy.

I just started on Psychonauts for the Xbox. Pretty neat game, !

[xHaseox]

Super Mario Galaxy.

I still don't get all the Wii hate, it's such a great console. I can't wait until Sin & Punishment 2 and The Conduit this summer, and MadWorld is right around the corner.

[Zephyr]

Super Mario Galaxy.

I still don't get all the Wii hate, it's such a great console. I can't wait until Sin & Punishment 2 and The Conduit this summer, and MadWorld is right around the corner.

As far as "hardcore" games go, Wii just didn't have much going for it in '08. That's where the hate comes from.

Maybe this year will be different.

Maybe but, *looks at list of wanted Wii games of '09*

Little King's Story
Arc Rise Fantasia
Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Are the only games that REALLY interest me.

Maybe The Conduit and Sakurai's TMNT game...

Nothing by Nintendo though.

[xHaseox]

I'd buy Arc Rise Fantasia day one, but I don't own a next-gen console, since I use my brother's.

I still only own a PS2, since I don't know which console I want to get first, and I'm still paranoid about the Xbox 360's problems.

[fenixREVOLUTION]

I'm replaying all the Resident Evil games in preparation of Resident Evil 5. So far this weekend (including Monday) I only beat Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil: Director's Cut. Not playing them for a few years set my speed runs back quite a bit. But only 4 more games left. WOO!!

[Hitoshura]

Doing well on my neutral path game of SMT1. I think I'm going to enter the cathedral sometime soon.

Otherwise I'm loving Retro Game Challenge. Just got to the third challenge of Star Prince.

Haha, congrats.

Yeah, neutral is the hardest, by far... lol. But it's canon, too.

You best be starting SMT2 when you finish SMT1!

[xHaseox]

More Super Mario Galaxy with a little bit of Grand Theft Auto IV.

Lulz.

I'm thinking a Wii is the next thing on my shopping list. Maybe a Playstation 3 later down the road, since there are almost twice as many games I want for Wii than for Playstation 3.

[Foryth]

Yeah, SMT2 looks even more awesome. Though I think I need a little break, the cathedral is kinda confusing and is starting to piss me off. I'm on my way to the bottom floor, then all the way up to the top floor I guess. At this point I just want to get it over with.

[gsl]

Going through Fallout 3 on my PC a second time for more achievements and to do more exploring than I did last time. Thankfully, this time around I'm not stuck with the glitch that crashed the game every time I attempted to fast-travel and forced me to walk EVERYWHERE. :mad:

As for bedtime DS gaming, I'm about 8 chapters into Luminous Arc 2 right now (I preordered it for the spoils but wouldn't let myself play it until after I'd finished Rondo of Swords). I have to say I'm enjoying it a lot more than the first one--this time around you've a few more options for levelling up your characters outside of the story battles, and it doesn't have as much of a "strategy RPG lite" feel as Luminous Arc did.

And when I'm not in bed or don't feel like sitting in front of the PC, I bust out Dodonpachi Daioujou on the PS2 to try and get past the first level without dying. :p

[Majeh905]

I'm trying to beat Tales of the World on the psp before Prinny comes out.

I was playing Ar Tonelico 2, but the game froze up on me because of a bug in the game :very_sad:

[Kakizaki]

Taking a small break from rpgs. Playing Yakuza 2, Super Wonder Boy, and Gunner's Heaven.

[gsl]

Isn't Gunner's Heaven wacky? I'd always get a level or two in and then just decide to haul out the Genesis for a bit of the real GH.

[Constraint]

Got to scenario 26 of SRW Alpha Gaiden. So far, so good. Looks like Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser are about to pop up.

[Elizabeth]

Finally started playing Beautiful Katamari. I wish that it had cut scenes tossed in as you completed levels like We Heart Katamari but I like how the King of All Cosmos talk even more in this one than the others; such a fun character.

[BaizDaza]

Playing LittleBigPlanet again. I'm addicted.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Street Fighter IV!

[Constraint]

At scenario 27 of SRW Alpha Gaiden. Seems like Xabungle is nearing it's end. I frggin hate Xabungle though.

[Crabman]

Odin is being a bitch to find, so I just moved on in P2: EP. Having much more fun as result.

[Saishu]

Valkyria Chronicles and Street Fighter FOOOOOOOUR.

It's good to have a Capcom fighting game again. And with the enjoyable Sega game, it almost feels like the Dreamcast days.

[RayFoxSith]

Dragon Quest V. I've been so anxious to finally be able to play this legitimately.

[TTBadguy]

I had some Rez music stuck in my head so, since I've been sick at home and my daughter has this week off from school, we spent the afternoon playing it. I had forgotten that I had unlocked Beyond Mode the last time I played, so I did a quick Direct Assault run-through and plowed through Lost Area as well. I might play it for another day or two to unlock a few more things, if only to get the music firmly out of my head. I've seriously been headnodding off and on to random tunes from it and I stopped playing hours ago.

[Sei]

Nocturne, Fear 2, My world my way and hopefully Prinny soon. I like My world my way but it does get a bit repetitive if not done in short bursts.

Tried the Halo wars demo, it seems okay for what it is and I dig the cg cinemas, but from what I read there is no Covenant campaign; which makes me sad due to actually liking their side way more in the demo, and seeing that it doesn't seem worth 60 a year for the possibility of playing online once in a while, it has no multiplayer for me either, so most likely pass unless the campaign is really long and mindblowing. The LE also sucks.

Odds are itll go down in price at some point, too!

Ah, MS Saga, passed on it back in the day because I heard it wasn't that great, but it actually is quite the charming little game, lots of MS and customizability, the plot isn't that bad so far and it's actually hard. So I rather like it.

[Balrog]

Retro Game Challenge (Haggle Man 3)
Dragon Quest V
Finished Resistance 2 last night (don't bother if you haven't already)
Clash at Demonhead

[Flußkönig]

Near the end of Romancing SaGa, but I am taking a little break before I finish up the aquatic ecology quest that I neglected on my other play-throughs.

I am currently playing through Culdcept Saga a 2nd time using a blue/yellow deck (had a red/green deck 1st time) and really enjoying it.

Yeah, I actually ended up enjoying MS Saga way more than I thought I would. The difficulty remains pretty high throughout the game, and as you already mentioned the FM mix and match parts/ weapons style customization was very cool.

As far as the story goes. I will just say that I laughed a lot even though I don't think the story supposed to be funny.

[Amra of the Black Coast]

Working on Valkyria Chronicles and it is A M A Z I N G ! I can't wait to see how the anime turns out.

I agree on both parts. I need to make a second run on Culdcept Saga sometime soon.

MS Saga was quite an enjoyable game. Quite unexpectedly so.

[Crabman]

Crisis Core:FFVII. I'm surprised I like this game so much, cause FFVII confirmed JRPGs were not for me (at the time I play it). I'm pegging it on Zack; he's such a likeable character.

[hibiki_takami]

Just finished Persona 4 today with the True Ending - now moving on to unlock Seth on both 360 and PS3 versions of SF4

[Shin]

I'm balancing between Street Fighter IV and Persona 3 FES, XD

[Las Lobos]

"Soul Calibur 4"

I havent had a chance to go against anyone online since I got my PSN up, so I'm just practicing.

[Mcateersb]

Just finished TWEWY and i liked it a lot, but couldn't grab my number one spot for DS. Going through Demikids Light and Dark versions. Once im done with those ill be moving on to My World My Way and Chrono Trigger

[massaker]

Persona3, it's a bit easy at the moment. Think I might start DDS2 instead.

Also trying to finish Dead Rising, but thats annoying me. Also Devilmaycry4 is annoying me, I really just wanted to kill something, then got stuck on some lame environmental puzzle.

And got stuck on Professor Layton by this really simple question.

[Otaru]

Right now: Metal Gear Solid.

Yeah I'm a little behind in it but seeing as a friend is promising me MGS4 once I get a PS3...I figured I'd play the first 3.

Also playing Tales of the Abyss, P4, P3 FES, and God Hand.

[Olethros]

Fallout 3

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

on the xbox360: bourne conspiracy and street fighters 4
on the psp: riviera the promised land (for a 2nd go)

[Superkenon]

Fire Emblem for the DS. I also got Dragon Quest V, but that comes later.

Meanwhile, I'm slowly continuing my new playthrough of Final Fantasy XII, using teams of two characters instead of three, just for giggles.

[Fuyukaze]

My PSP. Playing Gradius, Castlevania, and Star Ocean atm. Gotta enjoy the new toy as much as posible on my off day.

[banballow]

I finished Aya's story on Bikini Zombie Slayers, so now I have to decide if I want to try out Reiko or Saki next. About halfway thru Bikini Samurai Squad, still at the beginning of House of the Dead, and started up Deadly Creatures.

... and X-Blades? Well, it's the casualty in there. Just no time for it.

[Majeh905]

Prinny: Can I Really be The Hero.
I have never died so much in a game before.....(At least 100 deaths within 2 hours)

you got it too huh? i bought it a few hours ago didn't like it that much

[Decept]

Finishing Front Mission DS, the UCS Campaign

After, I will move on to play through FM3 and FM4.

That will leave the DS open for Chrono Trigger.

[ViolenceJack]

DQV : 3rd Quest with the Fearies.

[Constraint]

Got to scenario 29 in SRW: Alpha Gaiden. Rat fever? how amusing.

[EvilHero]

Street Fighter IV, way too much of it. Been playing with friends every night this week. Haven't really gone online too much since most of the players aren't all that great. I'm just going to wait until the initial novelty of the game wears off and people move on, leaving the real players.

[xHaseox]

Devil May Cry 4.

$30 at EB. I couldn't pass it up.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

lol I guess it was a slow start at first. Glad you like it
I'm stuck on (the last?) boss right now....and I really want to throw my psp at something lol.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

at the last?!!!!! i couldn't kill those stupid twins they are just ahhhhhhhhhh i want to kill them lol

[Majeh905]

at the last?!!!!! i couldn't kill those stupid twins they are just ahhhhhhhhhh i want to kill them lol

That's the boss that took me 2 hrs on AND cost me 100 lives lol.
Tip: Slashing them before they perform an attack cancels it....this helped me somewhat.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

yeah i know i'm doing that and you need to throw a bomb at them so they go dizzy but hell when they reach the last bit of their lives they just jump and my prinny dood go BOOM

[Majeh905]

yeah i know i'm doing that and you need to throw a bomb at them so they go dizzy but hell when they reach the last bit of their lives they just jump and my prinny dood go BOOM

Yeah...I went through that same problem over and over again....It was very painful (especially for my hands lol)

All I can say now then is good luck (and maybe try looking up a video of someone else doing it....I ended up doing this for the last boss)

[Rikuo]

Final Fantasy 4
Persona 4

Alot a fouring today.

[ViolenceJack]

DQV : Quest of the Missing Prince.

[The Liztress]

Midnight Club Los Angeles, LittleBigPlanet.

Hopefully going to play some Persona 4 tonight.

[Enzeru]

Still...progressing in LIT (room 107, lol). I finished up Lostwinds, though, so know I'm finally getting to the original Harvest Moon. Never had such a rush for time before!

[xHaseox]

Rogue Galaxy.

Gaming NEEDS more space pirates.

[Kakizaki]

Isn't Gunner's Heaven wacky? I'd always get a level or two in and then just decide to haul out the Genesis for a bit of the real GH.

I'm not sure what you mean by wacky. If you mean that Gunner's Heaven isn't much more than a Gunstar knockoff with slightly prettier graphics and watered down game play, than yes, GH is wacky. ;)

I just haven't played it in years.

[Delition]

Street Fighter IV: Getting our asses kicked online on PSN. Fun, fun.

P.S.: That wasn't sarcasm. I'm actually having fun, despite the complete amount of ass-kickery being done to me. My friend isn't enjoying it as much.

[xHaseox]

Now some Shadow of the Colossus.

It's amazing how a game with so few characters and such little story can pack such an emotional punch.

[Las Lobos]

Now some Shadow of the Colossus.

It's amazing how a game with so few characters and such little story can pack such an emotional punch.
haha yeah that's a really good game. My only issue was sometimes the camera angles frustrated me but that's about it. It'd be awesome is SONY/ICO did a sequel for it. Man it'd look beautiful on PS3.


Playing "Soul Calibur 4"
Need to practice again I'm losing my juice.

[Kakizaki]

Super Wonder Boy. I have no idea how I got as far as I did in this as a kid. Crazy amount of leaps of faith onto platforms that drop.

Well, Team ICO is working on a Playstation 3 title, but I doubt it would be a direct sequel. It'll probably be in small ways like how Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were.

[Vincent Alexander]

After P4, I need a great game I can count on. So, think I'll replay through FF6 and Vagrant Story.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

yeah i know i'm doing that and you need to throw a bomb at them so they go dizzy but hell when they reach the last bit of their lives they just jump and my prinny dood go BOOM

who's the last boss ? is it eterna?

Last dungeon of P2! I'm wondering if I should keep using the Greeks or not.

[Constraint]

Got through the Metal Gear Solid Blanca part in Shadow Hearts: Covenant. I also accidentaly picked Gepetto for a particular scene involving Veronica.

[massaker]

Ninja Gaiden 2. Though I can't play it for more than half an hour. It will give you a heart attack from stress that game.

Clan Dragon Ninja, dissappear! Hiya!

:Cue puff of smoke:

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

xbox 360: F.E.A.R 2 project origin (i bought it today it's freaking awesome)
psp: prinny can i really be the hero (oh #### i'm stuck again against dragon twins) and riviera the promised land

oh yeah anybody played halo3? is it good? i didn't like halo 1 didn't play halo 2 so is halo 3 worth buying?

p.s: the most things i care about FPS games are the story and the gunplay

[Majeh905]

Just played Portal (and beat it in two hours and twenty mins.....) and taking a break from Prinny (still stuck on last boss).

Looking foward to mana khemia to release soon. Killing time with Ar Tonelico 2

Then you would hate halo 3 lol. The story is veeery boring, and the actual campaign lasts only a few hours (I beat it in 4). The gunplay is the same for all 3 games. If it weren't for my friends, I would have never bought that game.

4 hours is so good to me i don't like games to last for so long (excluding rpgs) but if the story is bad and the gunplay is just the same i think i'm not gonna buy it for real the gunplay in F.A.E.R 2 is totally awesome you feel like you're really the one who's shooting (clearly the opposite of halo) and what about dead rising is it just a hack and slash game or are there somethings cool about it?

[Constraint]

At Russia in Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and a new party member, Anastasia. Pretty damn powerful for a mage. She can snap pictures of monsters and gain their ability, plus, find their weakness and how much hp they currently have. Seems pretty useful.

[Elizabeth]

We Love Katamari. I currently have 220,000 roses and I'm going for the million!

....

I'm going to buy some rubber bands.

[Camanche]

Alternating between Street Fighter IV and Soul Caliber IV. Word on the getting my ass kicked on SF PSN. Still fun.

[EternalSwordsman]

Gah, I have too many games, and not enough time....

Over the holidays, I got Persona 3, Persona 4, Digital Devil Saga, Rondo of Swords, and Resident Evil 4, and have barely started any of them. To make things even worse, I'm also trying to finish Etrian Odyssey so I can move on to EO2, and I just got "Neverwinter Nights" and borrowed "Baldur's Gate 2" from a friend.

Oh yeah, and I have no free time because I'm an Electrical Engineering major. Crap.

And it really doesn't help that SMT: Imagine just went into open beta and Atlus is announcing MMOs for their Atlus Online thingie. I really need a parallel dimension device so that I can take some time off and catch up on all these games.

[Delition]

We're still playing Street Fighter IV. Is it just me, or has anyone else fought an onslaught of terrible Akuma players? Four out of every five Akumas we have fought were just terrible. Why does everyone just play as Akuma because he's "evil" and "cool"?

[Camanche]

Yeah, every time I faced an Akuma they just shot projectiles at me repeatedly. Cheap.

What BP rating are the Akuma players? Usually anybody under 1000 is terrible anyways.

Yeah, every time I faced an Akuma they just shot projectiles at me repeatedly. Cheap.

lol yeah, thats actually a viable strategy for Akuma players. A buddy of mine who plays Akuma loves to teleport whenever he gets knocked down, makes wake up mind games hard to do, rushing down is one of my main tactics and that doesn't work in this case.

[False]

Pokemon, although my life is almost always just some different degree of playing Pokemon.

[Fuyukaze]

Star Ocean 1. We realy should have got this game when it first came out.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

for me i really like ken his soryuken is good

[Delition]

What BP rating are the Akuma players? Usually anybody under 1000 is terrible anyways.


I usually only play on player matches, so no BP. Most of them can't even seem to do his specials properly, so I think it's more of a noob-y thing going on for now. Perhaps after a while I'll be able to fight some people that can absolutely cream me. So far one of the best people I've fought has been Hamel.

[hibiki_takami]

Currently, I'm just playing Street Fighter IV with close friends.

Also been dabbling with Noby Noby Boy. Reminds me of when I used to play with either Lincoln Logs or Lego thanks to the look and feel of the game. I love that GIRL finally got to the MOON! Next stop... Mars?

I'm trying to play through Persona 3 and, coming from Persona 4, it's a little bit frustrating considering how much of a change it is.

Started with Digital Devil Saga 1 as well and I got to the first save point.

I want to start Nocturne since it seems to be the most interesting of the lot at the moment.

Oh, I guess Star Ocean came out today so I might be getting that.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

yeah what about star ocean anybody played it?

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

Now some Shadow of the Colossus.

It's amazing how a game with so few characters and such little story can pack such an emotional punch.

yeah loved this game i reached no.16 and stopped playing after i got bored of falling down so much

[SickleCellAnemia]

Started another playthrough of EarthBound.

[Hamel]

So far one of the best people I've fought has been Hamel.

<3

but seriously most of the people I play online are picking either Ken or Akuma and sometimes Ryu
I am happy when I am seeing someone picking other things even if they end up kicking my ass as long as it's not those three I am fine

Choosing my wife in DQV. Also about to start Front Mission Gun Hazard on the snes. I tried it out a little bit and it looks pretty sweet.

Gonna rent star ocean 4 next :D

been checking my game library lately and i found a game that didn't play at all , lost planet extreme condition pretty good game although the controller's schem need to be fixed in the next installment

[hibiki_takami]

I'm trying to slug through Star Ocean: The Last Hope right now but the busy interface, coupled with the voice acting is distracting. Battle system's fun though. I can see the Tales references people are making with this game.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

I FORGOT ABOUT STAR OCEAN i need to go buy it

The Original Grandia for Playstation 1.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

oh yeah anybody played assasains creed for the xbox 360 i have it but actually i only finished training and it seemed more likely to be a stealth game so is it just like that or does it vary? (cuz i really hate stealth games)

[NEOnuts]

Persona 4 - Luminous Arc

[hibiki_takami]

oh yeah anybody played assasains creed for the xbox 360 i have it but actually i only finished training and it seemed more likely to be a stealth game so is it just like that or does it vary? (cuz i really hate stealth games)

It's not a stealth game the same way Metal Gear Solid is.

The way it works is that there are several big cities connected by paths and the main assassinations happen in those big cities. You go to the local chapter of your assassin guild, receive a target, get clues about the target, go back to the local chapter of your guild to get approval to kill target, then kill target

It's fun trying to figure out how to get to your target, but it might get repetitive after a while as there are some kills that you can't do without triggering some sort of event that may or may not give away who you are.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

seems good thanks i think i'll try it

[Majeh905]

FINALLY beat Prinny....then I beat it again within an hour LOL(oh how I wanted to break that game). I'll find the optional bosses later.

Now I'm playing star ocean and I like what I see so far. Maybe I'll play this one to the end as well.

I've been playing Ys lately on the DS. Is it just me, or does the game seem to freeze randomly? Just running around, it seems as if the game just locks up and then goes back to normal at random intervals.

It's fun, though, and the CD is decent for a soundtrack.

It's fun trying to figure out how to get to your target, but it might get repetitive after a while as there are some kills that you can't do without triggering some sort of event that may or may not give away who you are.

It is a stealth game - I know I set up on kill flawlessly and seen videos online of people doing some crazy stealthy #### for alot of the assassinations - but if you play it with an absolute laser focus on stealth, it's hard as hell. Where MGS is more about analysing the entire situation and then acting, I found that AC was more about seizing the exact moment there's an opening - because there is usually only one moment. In this vein, it's alot harder, because unless you play MGS on Extreme, once you're seen, you're screwed.

On the flip side, AC becomes a much different beast than MGS once combat becomes involved. Altair is a much more competent fighter than Snake and can kill waves and waves of enemies endlessly once you learn Counter. So the punishment for being found is alot less severe than in MGS.

Been playing Crisis Core. Did some missions last night cause it was getting late.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

oh yeah anybody played assasains creed for the xbox 360 i have it but actually i only finished training and it seemed more likely to be a stealth game so is it just like that or does it vary? (cuz i really hate stealth games)

It's not a stealth game the same way Metal Gear Solid is.

actually i reached when your master stabs a knife through you and till now it's been quite the entertaining and yeah crisis core a great game but with LOTS of lame missions and repetition and inspite of that i replayed the game again

[Juanblue85]

really I thought it looked good and for 10 bucks that quite a steal.

Prinny: Can I really Be the Hero? & Persona 4 :D

yeah i thought it looked awesome at first but just after finishing one planet it seemed very very repetitive but then again everybody has his/her own opinion

[hibiki_takami]

My backlog has increased thanks to my new DS Lite (I have the DSi pre-ordered, but I needed something to be able to play GBA).

Professor Layton and the Curious Village
The World Ends With You
My World, My Way
Dragon Quest V
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Keeping in mind that this is in addition to Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Plus Killzone 2 tomorrow, and Resident Evil 5 in a few weeks. Ugh, it's like the holiday season all over again.

Update
It appears as though it wasn't Trackmania DS after all. Oh well, still doesn't change the fact that I can't talk about it!

[massaker]

Persona3.

It gets a ---> ^.^b

I love Koromaru and Yukari calling Junpei, Stupei all the time.

Going to play P3 and The Last Remnant on the weekend. I might get the Sega Genesis Collection.

[Constraint]

SRW: Alpha Gaiden.
I really need to finish it up.

[Las Lobos]

"Soul Calibur 4"

"Dead Space"

"Ninja Gaiden Sigma"

I promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore games till I paid some things off.

[ViolenceJack]

Dqv & So4

[Delition]

Super Widget and Ys.

[xHaseox]

A little bit of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

I'm having an internal struggle over Prinny: Can I really be the hero?. I love the Disgaea franchise, but I can't stand those hardcore side-scrollers. I've bought all of the Disgaea titles so far, so it will probably bug the hell out of me if I don't get it.

[Fatney]

I'm playing Final Fantasy IV on the DS, Final Fantasy TA2 on the DS, Professor Layton on the DS (but I borrowed it to someone, although I regret it now), Digital Devil Saga on the Playstation, and Skate 2 on the 360.

I know, I suck for buying too much games before finishing the others. And it doesn't look like my list is going to stop anytime soon, with Resident Evil 5, Dragon Quest V, and a couple of other titles coming.

And it's not like those are the games that I still haven't finished, I have a ton of good games I am going to finish sometimes. It almost depresses me :)

[Delition]

I just played the Afro Samurai demo on PSN. Has anyone actually played this title yet? If so, is it worth renting? I have no intention of buying, but the demo makes it seem worth a renting. It seems to be a more fluid hack-n-slash than Onechambara on the 360 was.

If you liked the anime, it's worth renting. It's too easy of a game to purchase, and (in my opinion) doesn't really have a replay value.

[Delition]

Never watched the anime. I was purely asking if it was worth renting on a game basis only.

[Majeh905]

Sorry, I put too much thought into what you said lol. (I do that sometimes....)

Yes, it's worth renting.

[Constraint]

I thought the demo for Afro Samurai was just too simple. Nothing promising or fun, to me.
But anyway, still playing Alpha Gaiden. This is taking far too long...

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

i didn't like Afro Samurai's demo = i didn't buy it (that's my case)

[xHaseox]

No More Heroes.

So badass.

[Fatney]

I love No More Heroes. If they had made the time between the main missions more interesting, the game would be almost perfect. Art style and music=genius.

I've been playing Prinny & I can tell you it is a fun game.
If you're hard into Disgaea, I say give Prinny a look into - it is good.

[xHaseox]

I love No More Heroes. If they had made the time between the main missions more interesting, the game would be almost perfect. Art style and music=genius.

Hopefully the sequel will fix that, along with the whole "open world" thing. If they can't find any good use for it, it should be scrapped altogether and replaced with a smaller hub world.

[hibiki_takami]

I haven't touched Star Ocean after getting my own ship, and even then I forgot to save so there goes that! I went back and continued my dormant Persona 3 file and finally reached floor 5 of Tartarus. Going from Persona 4 back to Persona 3 FES isn't something that I'd recommend since there were choices that the devs made in P4 that streamlined the thing, but I'm beginning to warm up to their choices and beginning to appreciate it more.

My significant other and I are playing through Professor Layton again before going to bed after not touching the game for a year. When the DS is free, I take over and get some time in with The World Ends With You and Dragon Quest V.

Anyone know how long The World Ends With You is? Seems like a short game (just basing it off of the premise of having only a week to "survive" the reaper's game.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

It is longer than I expected, but still, the length was perfect. Not too short or too long.

[stalepie]

Diablo 1
Dragon Quest V
Shiren the wanderer (sort of)
God of War 1

[Crabman]

Three...more...bosses....

Damn P2 is exhausting. Baofu revealing his true intentions though? Probably one of the best cutscenes in the game.

I love Dragon Cross-ing fools :D

[Hitoshura]

Anyone know how long The World Ends With You is?

Amazing. Probably at least one of the top 3 DS games. I went in not expecting too much, and ended up with quite possibly one of the most solid and well-rounded games I've ever played. I honestly can't think of any complaints about the game offhand.

Also D: at Star Ocean! You should go back to it sometime! ; ; Honestly, this game is already GOTY 2009 status for me. I'm about 20 hours in, still on the 2nd planet. Having so much fun just doing everything I can.

[AdrianMorales]

Retro Game Challenge on the NDS of course:)

[Foryth]

Been playing DQV, a little Darkstalkers Chronicles and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, then moar DQV.

Just got to the part where you start travelling with your kids. I'm thinking I might still prefer using my monster party. Currently Slime Knight, King Slime and Restless Armor, all outfitted with Metal King Swords.

[Yazarc]

I've been playing Sigma Star Saga on my GBA player. I bought it months ago on clearance at Hastings but only recently really started playing it.

Also playing Star Ocean 4. It's the second good game Tri-Ace has made and nice to see they finally made an enjoyable Star Ocean title.....Even if the battle theme was ripped straight out of Baten Kaitos Origins.

[Saishu]

Growlanser: Heritage of War. Having not played it in a long while, I'm enjoying it again. Started a new game since my last file was corrupted some time ago. Seldous is the man.

I still remember picking up this game during the Halo 3 launch party.

[Hitoshura]

Even if the battle theme was ripped straight out of Baten Kaitos Origins.

You do know that Motoi Sakuraba did the music for that too, right?

[Sanctine]

Boiling Point: Road to Hell. I just did a bit of system upgrading, and it seems my new setup runs this game perfectly now. It's fantastic so far.

In between, I'm playing The Witcher and STALKER.

[xHaseox]

On my second playthrough of No More Heroes, with some Devil May Cry 4 and Persona 4 thrown in for good measure.

I hope to see a new Devil May Cry title before this console generation is over.

[Constraint]

On Scenario 42 of SRW: Alpha Gaiden. Bring it on, Dinousaur Empire! Seriously, I need to beat this game soon.

[Enzeru]

Anyone know how long The World Ends With You is? Seems like a short game (just basing it off of the premise of having only a week to "survive" the reaper's game.
About 30 hours, but the end game extras can last over 20 more if you're good at it.

Just started HM: DS. Never picked it up before because I heard it sucked. I'm liking it, though; the only fault is that it doesn't have 3D graphics. Kinda petty, but whatever.

[DamageCity]

I was playing Ikkitousen: Eloquent Fist but now I have Dragon Quest V.

I don't want to go to work...

...I just want to play Dragon Quest V.

[Fatney]

I'm thinking about buying Dragon Quest V. Is it better than VIII? VIII was really good, but if it's even better it's a safe buy.

[Crabman]

I posted this in another forum I frequent, but I figured I might as well post it here, too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's finally over. I beat Persona 2!

It's been almost exhausting to play that game. I found it at its most enjoyable not when I sunk one or two hours at a time, but six or eight. It requires alot to make any decent progress, which is why I beat it releatively fast (P3 took me nearly a year with 110 hours; P2 took two months at 80 hours).

For wanting to play that game for years, even before I heard of or got P3, it definitely meets expectations. The combat is simple in its delivery - no time bars, just your agility stats determine order - but nuanced in the details with fusion spells, weaknesses, the way equipped persona affects you, mutations, and the contact system, which adds a whole other layer to dig under. Compared to P3, P2 loses that kinetic feel of the Press Turn (hit weaknesses, get an extra turn) system, but it surpasses it in sheer variety. And it is difficult. Easier than I expected (the way some people talked about the game, I expected cardiac arrests every battle), much harder than P3: FES, it's more just getting used to the fact that "yes, normal enemies can knock off a good 1/3 of your life in one hit". I never felt it was unfair (well....end boss >_>), but defeating enemies felt so gratifying.

The story is something else. Atlus didn't officially localize the previous game, Persona 2: innocent Sin, so you initially feel like you're being thrown into a lake without knowing how to swim, but it adds to the characterization. I was afraid that without the S. Link system P2 would become more interactive movie than RPG, but because of the situation and what happened in P2: IS, it makes sense, and works beautifully. The characters play off each other with such ease, they feel astonishingly close to real people with real problems.

If there is one area where I have to knock the game, it's in presentation. It looks pretty bad, and the voices (when there is voice acting) has this odd reverb effect, like Atlus was experimenting with Auto-Tune way before Kanye West decided to. While you do get used to it, the initial shock is pretty jarring. Then again, practically everything from the PS1 era looks and sounds bad; even the inital bleat that accompanies the SCE logo sounds like synthesiser flatulence. But for a game that came out near the tail-end of the PS1 era - the same year Chrono Cross came- it's bad. Considering how super slick the modern SMT games are, it made me yearn for P4 even more.

That being said, if one can forgive the presentation and is willing to tough it out, P2 is a rewarding experience that any Persona fan should experience. Stunningly mature, this SMT is a throwback only is graphics - the gameplay and story is as fresh and polished as P3.

[Fatney]

When I finish Digital Devil Saga 1, I'm going to play Persona 2 : EP and then IS. I can't wait :D

[Crabman]

^I really want to try IS too, but I've never had any good experience with PS1 emulators (granted, I tried using them...6 years ago XD), and my PS1/PS2/PSP isn't modded.

[Fatney]

It really isn't that hard to mod your PSP. Because that's how I'm going to play it ;)

Hello, I'm new in this bitch:devil:

I'm thinking about buying Dragon Quest V. Is it better than VIII? VIII was really good, but if it's even better it's a safe buy.

Although I never completed Dragon Quest VIII (I'm practically at the end), if you're any fan of the series' interface, soundtrack, battle system, and above-average storyline, it's very safe to say that you will enjoy Dragon Quest V. Especially if you liked any of the games before this one, DS or not, to me the game feels very fresh because it hasn't been released here until now. Considering that I don't recall playing an RPG that begins as a young child and plays well through his adulthood (so I heard, I'm only 11 hours in), it feels different enough from any RPG as well as the whole series' that is really appealing. Also, if you enjoy the regional accents of the characters, such as the ones in DQVIII (without voice-acting), the dialogue is extremely charming. Personally, a very good soundtrack is enough for me to tolerate almost any RPG (I like Unlimited SaGa in small doses), and DQVs is 'good' so far.

Thanks for the impressions of the completed game. I started Innocent Sin, and almost 11 hours in I suddenly stopped, lost a little interest (partially because of other games like DQIV, V, and Devil Survivor), and I will be determined to finish this game so I can play Eternal Punishment immediately after!

Maybe it was the first one then....Those games are pretty jumbled together for me. I'm good enough at picking apart melodies to know that Tales of Destiny and Tales of Eternia (Inferia) have the same battle theme, Star Ocean 2 and 3 have the same battle theme, the town theme and airship flight theme in FF4 are the same song.

So yeah, the battle theme is recycled from one of his earlier efforts....

[SickleCellAnemia]

It does sound a lot like "The Valedictory Elegy"(main battle theme) from Baten Kaitos Origins.

Retro game challenge, SRT Alpha Gaiden, and MS saga. Boy MS saga is good. They kept the specs of the Mechs faithful to the shows, too.

If that's a doubting "er", I think you need to take another listen. It's a completely revamped version.

I just went and listened to both rather closely. The first 12 notes are the same, in a different key, and then the chord progression turns into something completely different.

In any case, I also just listened to Valedictory Elegy and the SO4 theme, and pretty much no notes are the same, and the chord progressions are different so...

I hate ds standbymode, I have used it like 3 times, and it always dies on me before I get to charge it! I wish the DS had a battery left indicator with more detail than "you are fine" and "you are ####ed"

One of those was actually an attempt to finish the first Etrian. Where oh where is the quicksave :(.

[Hitoshura]

It's not like the proof is in the notes or anything. Or like I wanted to be a music composer for several years.

On second thought, there may be even more difference between the SO2 and 3 themes. I don't believe all 12 notes are the same, although the chord progression is indeed quite similar.

God of War II. I felt I should take a small break from RPGs, having played them near constantly for a year (going from P3, to a small break with SoTC, to FES and then P2: EP). On a technical level, it's brilliant; it looks good, controls good and sounds good, but it lacks soul. SoTC has so much soul it could make violent fathers into nuns, where as GoWII kind of just exists, like the quiet kid in the back of the class who looks like he would enjoy eating human flesh but just really likes to sit at home watching CSI. Under that "appaling" personality is just an unremarkable person. I get that alot from GoWII, with the #### puzzles in which you don't even know they are puzzles, and #### bosses in which you only know "hey, this is supposed to be cathartic" because the camera zooms in the boss and shows him doing some really nasty/weird/violent action.

The strange thing is, I'm enjoying it; not so much as a game - like GoW - but more as a guilty pleasure, like Auto Modellista was until it managed to break itself half way though. It's like, you know it's messed up, and you should really be something else instead, but it's more of a "well I'm already doing this..."

[Fatney]

God of War I was better than the second. I couldn't make myself to continue.

[Romancer_Zero]

Nearing the end of Mana Khemia, started Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, and hopefully finish Wild Arms 3. Don't know what to play next, maybe Persona 3 FES...

[LadyRayna]

Valkyria Chronicles, chapter 15.

[Decept]

Chrono Trigger - Not sure, but prob about half-way through... didn't get to play it the first time around, so I decided to see if it was a classic. I like it.

Waiting for Front Mission 3 to arrive in the mail, since someone sold me a faulty one. Hope this one works. Otherwise SFIV has been taking up my console time.

[xHaseox]

Since No More Heroes and Devil May Cry 4 are finally done, I thought it get one last run through Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II before I leave in April.

[hibiki_takami]

At lunch, I tried out a couple of iPhone games, namely Word Fu and Zen Bound.

Word Fu is a variation on Boggle where you get like 8 or 9 randomized tiles and your objective is to make as many words as possible within a small amount of time. The game's pretty tough, but it's pretty fun if you only have a couple of minutes to spend playing a game (or waiting in line at the DMV).

Zen Bound is not a fetish game. It's basically a puzzle game where the objective is to paint the sculpture onscreen by rotating the object and wrapping a rope (which paints the sculpture) around it. It's pretty addicting and the graphics are not bad for an iPhone game.

[Delition]

We've been playing Sonic and the Black Knight and Eat Lead: Return of Matt Hazard.

Sonic: Why the hell would you put a credit roll in the game 75% of the way through the story mode? By the time I got to play as the better characters in the storyline, I didn't care anymore since they already credit-rolled me.

The gameplay is mediocre at best and very unresponsive during the 2-D segments. I actually liked most of the music, especially since it wasn't playing the theme song every time you weren't in a level (#### you, secret rings). I actually liked Secret Rings better than Black Knight, but I still wouldn't suggest buying Black Knight. The credit-roll happened after about 2 hours of playing the game, so I'm glad I only paid 3.50 to rent the game (half off at Family Video).

Eat Lead: The game is mediocre in most aspects, but I do enjoy the game's sense of humor. Playing as a failed action game hero and killing people with deadly water pistols amuses me (that must be some hard water, hur hur hur). I haven't gotten too far in the game so far, only about a hour, but this one is actually worth the 3.50 rental so far.

[Foryth]

Getting near the end of DQV, but completely wasting my time trying to get rare monsters to join me. This game is FUN. I liked the DQIV remake, but this one got me seriously addicted. I've been playing almost nothing else since I started it.

I also started a new game of DQIII Snes, DW7 and DQ8, since I can't decide which one I want to play. Currently I'm leaning more towards DW7, since I put over 130 hours in it back in the days, got right before the boss, but never actualy completed it, mostly because I was too busy trying to complete my monster park. Yeah, I'm on a DQ buzz.

[Flußkönig]

I beat the main game in SO4. I am planning on tackling the bonus dungeons, but I need to take a little break before I start.

Overall I really enjoyed SO4 although story could have been way better. Eh, I thought the combat was more than enough fun to make up for any deficiencies in the story though.

I started up Dragon Quest IV DS last night. I was instantly reminded of why I loved this game so much on the NES. But man, I am seriously hating the route they decided to take with the localization. It is so annoying having to translate what the people are saying into modern english every time I talk to a npc. Well hopefully Burland is a worst case scenario and the other locals aren't that bad.

Just having finished Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, I have to say that anybody who likes games in any fashion needs to play this game. It is amazing. That is all.

[stalepie]

^You aren't the same stalepie that is selling some MegaDrive titles are you?

Yes I am. Or was. Why ya ask? pm me cause this is off-topic

That's all I can say.

Never. Give. It. Up!

^My PSP when trying to Max Combo Good Bye [Hard Style] for the -1 challenge on DJ Max Fever. But, because of it I can use Fever 3 times in a row (on that song) now! xD

I'm going back on my Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, seeing how I missed two more villagers and 1 more stupid cat. >_>

[Constraint]

Finished ALPHA GAIDEN. Jesus, took me awhile.

I also got the chapter seven in Jeanne D' Arc. Hmmm, the enemies are catching up, but most of them can barely hit my guys, if not, barely. The RNG in this game is so .... scripted. I got hit three times in a 5% enemy hit, jesus. I mean, wow.

I really need to pick that one up again one of these days. I have way too many unfinished games piling up.

[Fatney]

Started on DQV this weekend... I love it so far.

[Foryth]

I beat the post-game boss in DQV. Not sure what I'm gonna play next yet.

It's always bugged me. All the fighting between Xbox fans and Playstation fans, yet they seem oblivious to who the king really is, and always will be.

[Fatney]

Even though Wii can hardly be called a gaming system anymore..?

[xHaseox]

Did you not watch the video?! D:<

SUPER ####ING MARIO

But seriously, I have a lot of fun with the Wii, and that's all that really matters.

And it's going to be funny as hell when the next Playstation and Xbox are marketed at non-gamers, leaving all of the "hardcore" ones wondering what to do and where to go.

[raum215]

Out of my apartment with only my 360 and my DS...

I'm playing Fallout 3 - *DO NOT NARC OUT [] TO THE SHERRIFF* - my whole good guy routine is gone. Welcome to the new Megaton Population: 3. sigh. It was just premeditated self-defense with extreme prejudice!! I swear.

I'm also playing The Maw on XBL - cute puzzler, my girl loved it - plays more like a adventure puzzle, cant die though. Still, fun to try and get ready for the Boy and His Blob remake.

I'm playing HAWX demo and let my inner Last Starfighter damn near pull a death blossom on them fools over Rio.

I'm playing SO:TLH and still enjoy it.

Return of the PC?

[Balrog]

The ZBL community game ZP2K9. Best 200 points I ever spent.

[Olethros]

I'm STILL playing Fallout 3.

[hibiki_takami]

I'm STILL playing Fallout 3.

Goddamn. What part are you in?

[xHaseox]

Half-Life.

Game gets so much praise, figure I should find out what all the noise is about.

[Olethros]

I'm STILL playing Fallout 3.

Goddamn. What part are you in?

Well, I still have two quests I haven't finished (I already did the main quest, got the ending, and then reloaded) plus 3 bobbleheads to obtain and 2 behemoths to kill. I keep intending to do these things, then I see something off in the distance and decided to explore. Next thing I know, the evening is over and I never did what I intended. I somehow seem to never run out of areas to explore...

[Foryth]

I decided to continue my game of FFIV DS. Currently battling Leviathan.

Also about to obtain Gabo in DW7.

Can't blame you. The significant other is back playing Fallout 3 and totally reamed the Operation Anchorage expansion pack. 'Maxed out sneak and small guns, with perks focusing all on sneak.

I currently played some Persona 3 last night and Zen Bound. I need to finish P3 soon.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Decided to play more of Castlevania OoE. Just got to Dracula's Castle.

[Samarecarm]

I'm about 20 ｈｏｕｒｓ into Dragon Quest V. I'm already wondering what I will devote　most of my RPG-ｐLaying to when I finish it.

[Delition]

Since I broke out my Dreamcast games again, I've been playing several of the new games I've purchased along with some old favorites:

Illbleed
Carrier
Timestalkers
Soul Calibur
Gunbird 2
Maken X

I've been trying to play Blue Stinger, but my Dreamcast doesn't seem to want to play it. The disc doesn't seem too badly scratched, but I'll probably get it resurfaced soon anyways.

[Camanche]

Maken X

Really want to try that game.

[Yet Another Tim]

Same here. I just need to finish all the fetch quests with the villagers.

Also, I got hooked on Tatsunoko VS Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes, as Batsu and Morrigan; I got my ass kicked by the final boss, Yami, from Okami.

[Delition]

Maken X

You should try it. I can't imagine it being too expensive (I bought mine for $5.00, and it's going new on eBay for around $15), and although it is short I really enjoy it. Of course if you don't have a Dreamcast that information doesn't help, but it's still fun.

[Constraint]

Currently at 8 hours in Star Ocean: Second Evolution. The story is going nowhere, and the dialogue is just horrible. Not only do they VOICE almost the entire scenes, it get's irritating, tbh. I just hope the game gets livelier when I recruit the rest of the cast. Claude and Rena bores me. Celine, eh.

I'm in Claude's path, and I'm choosing Opera, Bowman, Ernest, Leon, Welche for his path.

[kolaces]

Popolocrois.
This game is charming, but I have this annoying habit of hitting the flee command when I'm trying to choose to charge an attack . . . during boss battles. :(
Just finished the Ice Demon storyline, hopefully there's more than two stories.

Also playing Bad Company, LBP, and Valkyria Chronicles.

No Dreamcast. Who knows. Maybe I'll come across one one of these days.

[RayFoxSith]

Just beat Book 1 of Ys. Gonna start 2 soon.

[Constraint]

Exploited the EXP system in SO 2, and got Claude up to lvl 30.
Making him fight alone means, much more exp, :).

[Camanche]

Trying to finish up Shadow of the Colossus hard mode time trials. ARRGHH. And hey, I'm STILL playing Fallout 3 too.

[Olethros]

^ Ha! I'm hoping to finish up what I have left to do and move on to something else this weekend. Then again, I said that last weekend too...

[Camanche]

I'm not far at all. Maybe that's what I'll do this weekend.

[Foryth]

Finaly completed all the challenges in Retro Game Challenge!

[stalepie]

Final Fantasy V Advance

[Enzeru]

Just got WipEout Pure, my first foray into racing games. From what I've seen, it might be my last.

I also got Suikoden. Haven't played it yet, but by the screens the graphics are ugly as hell. I hear I'm supposed to look past them, though. :p

EDIT: Oh, and DJ Max Fever. But I will ALWAYS be playing that. xD

[Crabman]

Just got WipEout Pure, my first foray into racing games. From what I've seen, it might be my last.

This post makes me sad. Granted, I haven't played Pure, but LOVE F-Zero GX and alot of other racers.

God of War II. Still playing. Want to beat it tonight.

Well, I haven't really explored it much yet. From what I've seen, there's TONS of tracks (including the DLC), and the graphics are great. However, I'm very bad at making turns, and the game doesn't really motivate me to try harder. I just got it today; I've played it for a bit over an hour now.

[banballow]

Illbleed

I don't even have a DC any more, but I still have my copy of Illbleed. My system died before I ever got to fight Queen Worm, but the first level with Mr. Banballow left a pretty big mark on me. So disappointed that nothing ever came of the Xbox port.

Anyway, I've been playing Tomb Raider Underworld ( Beneath the Ashes, and Lara's Shadow ), as well as Onechanbara for Wii and 360.

[sfried]

Man, I really wish I had a Wii so I could play MadWorld. The game looks really fun.

On that note, Avalon Code.

[Enzeru]

On that note, Avalon Code.
I've read about that game, but I'm still quite unsure of what you do in that game. I've read the combat is like Zelda, except the whole book thing. So, you get spells etc. through slamming the book on people's heads, or what?

[banballow]

I found out today that Pangya's set to hit the PSP this May ( perfect reason to pick up, yet another, PSP )...

... so I booted up Super Swing Golf Season 2 on my Wii. I only managed a -8 on Ice Cannon, I'm so ashamed... I've lost my shot! Good thing that my putting's still up to Par ( or Birdie as the case often was ).

[ViolenceJack]

I want to ofinishh ToV, so I might play that tonight.

[Enzeru]

Picked up Etrian Odyssey II again. Never finished off the Chimera. Then I leveled twice, and realized how easy it really was.

[Ike.]

I want to ofinishh ToV, so I might play that tonight.

You're probably farther than me, so maybe you can answer this for me:

(tov spoilers) I just did the part where Alexei used Estelle to do... something, exploding everybody and denying me the use of my ship. How much longer do I have?

[Fatney]

Not currently, but me and a bro finished RE5 this weekend. It was AWESOME.

[RayFoxSith]

Beat Irving and got to the caves. Damn Crocodiles.

[massaker]

P3 - At Tartarus block 4. Just beat the tank level guardians with only Minato and Koromaru. Mainly using Samael loaded with attack skills, mudoon, three elemental spells, megido, void death. I like Samael. And also a Dominion with diarama, mediarama, recarm, hamaon.

And ICO - what a strangely awesome game...

[banballow]

Super Swing Golf Season 2
I ♥ this game. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XKc8boNiW4)

[ViolenceJack]

I think you're further than me Ike, I'm on the Heracles. And it looks like theres maybe 2 or 3 more chapters to go. Not to mention tons of side quests.

[Hitoshura]

Beat Irving and got to the caves. Damn Crocodiles.

Stun Rod = God Tier.

[theshim]

Playing...Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, mostly. And Touhou, but...yeah.
