What are you currently playing?

[seigyukai]

Heheh, yeah I didn't really feel like writing out "Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army" last night. Plus the 1st two devil summoner games (from what I can tell based on art and Japanese-speaking gamers' descriptions) are really cool, so they shouldn't be ignored. Soul Hackers has some of my favorite MegaTen art- it's wildly colorful compared to most art from the other series' in the franchise. Look up screenshots of the Devil's Dictionary [Soul Hackers' in-game compendium] and you'll see what I mean. Also, you've gotta love Nemissa :D

[Constraint]

Beat Final Fantasy 8 two days ago. Beautiful ending.

[massaker]

Heh, I was lucky to find a copy of American McGees Alice. It depressed the crap out of me so I stopped, I should start it up again, great game. The're making another one I heard.

I was really enjoying Ninja Gaiden Sigma until I found out they took all the blood out of Sigma 2 and changed it too this purple lightning crap. I'm just so depressed Tomonobu Itagaki doesn't have the rights to Ninja Gaiden anymore. :bs:

[Foryth]

I played a bit of Overlord, currently exploring the elven forest. Interesting game so far.

I started a new game of the original Baldur's Gate Saga, using the BGtutu mod that converts BG1 to the BG2 engine. Currently a neutral evil human Fighter, because the evil NPCs are that much more amusing. Though I'm thinking of starting over as a rogue since my BG2 party will most likely be lacking one and sneaking around backstabbing people is so much fun.

I also decided to continue my game of Tales of Vesperia after being distracted from it by many other games for a couple of weeks.

[Kamen_Rider_Zzz]

I'm always split between several games, but Prototype, Devil Survivor and Blazblue have had my attention here as of late...

[Yet Another Tim]

I just got my ass kicked in Marvel VS Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.

I had a 5-0 win streak in Tatsunoko VS Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes, only for me to get my ass kicked by CPU PTX-40A, as my team was Roll classic/Mega Man Trigger.

I had a 3-2 record in Tekken 5, 2 W's as Christie, and 1 W as Hwoarang.

[Soushi_Grapple]

Heh, I was lucky to find a copy of American McGees Alice. It depressed the crap out of me so I stopped, I should start it up again, great game. The're making another one I heard.


Yep, theyre making a sequel on consoles. ^_^ I had to watch my gf play this seeing as I couldn't handle the controls very well. I've been trying to get a joystick patch of some kind, but no luck for us Windows users. >>; Also, the movie is still on hold, not to be confused with Tim Burton's junk.

I'm currently playing:
FFVIII (doing a near perfect playthrough because my gf is remaking the game as a dating sim using RPGMakerVX. I'm making one of my novels into it at the moment, too. X.X)

Koudelka (Awesome, so far!)

[Fatney]

Played Persona 4 the whole... yesterday? Would that be a correct sentence?

I finished Heaven in one day (thank god for maxing out the Fox Social Link), and finally fused Mara with the Tower social link all maxed out. GO, PHALLIC BEAST

[No One]

Just finished P4 for teh first time.
@PS2
Jade Cocoon
Shadow of The Colossus
And thinking about starting Eternal poison....

@PSP
Hammerin' Hero

And Class of Heroes

[Flagg]

Near end of Dark Sector and after that it's saint's row,gta IV,bioshock or darkness.

[Balrog]

Devil Survivor and Spelunky (PC)

[Steel Greyfalke]

SD Gundam Crossdrive (DS)
Virtual On Marz (PS2) = makes me wonder if VO would be good on Wii
SD Gundam Sengokuden 3 (GB)

[Dead Flag Blues]

just beat devil summoner 2

currently playing:
Nocturne (again)
Odin Sphere
Katamari Damacy (always)

[Fatney]

Finished Persona 4 for the second time now... The ending is still GLORIOUS. And sad...

[grrouchie]

Near the end off Day 1 on Devil Survivor (this is really the first SMT game I have actually sat down and played). Loving it so Far.

I need to get back to Ar Tonelico, I got the first "fake" Misha ending, but now have to continue along part 3 and actually finish the game.

Started Super Robot Tasien: OGS.

For new Gen consoles, I've put a few hours into Spiderman WOS and am looking forward to finishing that.

However, I'm really distracted by Devil Survivor right now, so thats my main focus.

[IceCold_Assassin]

Ordered digital devil saga 1 and 2 so ill be getting that in a few days hopefully.

got castle crashers from xbla, its pretty hilarious.

[Enzeru]

On DS I'm still playing Devil Survivor, Day 7.
On PS2 Nocturne, of course. I finally beat Matador, now I'm stuck on Dante.
On PSP I'm playing a port of Cave Story. I'm really bad at it ATM. x.x

[Constraint]

11 hours so far in Far Cry 2. Seems I'm now in the second part of the game.

[Superkenon]

On DS, I'm working on Knights in the Nightmare. Devil Survivor comes next.

On PS2, it's Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories time. I went through Kingdom Hearts 1 again before I started it, and of course I'll finish off the marathon with Kingdom Hearts 2.

[Crow T. Robot]

My friend is letting me borrow his DS so I'm playing 'Devil Summoner' along with 'Nocturne'. God I miss that game.

[Olethros]

Think I'm finally going to give Oblivion a go. It's been in the unplayed stack for quite a while now.

[maddy]

SPACE INVADERS DS, i am playing it RIGHT NOW

[Fadzuar Sabastian]

Metal Saga

[Foryth]

Think I'm finally going to give Oblivion a go. It's been in the unplayed stack for quite a while now.

Good luck with that. ;) I thought it was fun in the beginning, but now I think I must be about halfway through the game and it has gotten rather repetitive and boring. Also the dialogue tends to put me to sleep, thus shortening both my play time and evenings.



I've been on a D&D/Bioware game buzz lately. I'm still playing some Baldur's Gate with my neutral evil half-elf assassin Loki. But I also decided it was about time I tried out the first Neverwinter Nights, still unsure what I'm gonna play, but I'm leaning towards a chaotic good human cleric of Shaundakul or Lliira(I know this is accessory, but I like having detailed characters).

On the portable gaming side, I took a little break from Class of Heroes to play some Pangya. Class of Heroes is fun, but IMO not nearly as good as Etrian Odyssey. As for Pangya, I've been having a lot of fun with it so far, mostly playing story mode to unlock characters.

[Hitoshura]

On PSP I'm playing a port of Cave Story. I'm really bad at it ATM. x.x

Are you stuck on the bonus area or the main game?

[Ethil]

[quote=Olethros;124243]As for Pangya, I've been having a lot of fun with it so far, mostly playing story mode to unlock characters.

Looks like a great game. I used to play it on PC. However, I think I won't buy it : not having an infrastructure mode sucks. And I already have HSG : Open Tee 2. I don't feel like unlocking every single thing in another golf game for quite some time.

As for what I'm playing right now, well, mostly Class of Heroes. Just got it, and it rocks.

[Enzeru]

I'm in the beginning, actually. I'm not stuck, but it is hard since the only platformers I've played are the Sly Games, Megaman 1, 2, 3, and 4, and Chicken Little the Video Game (lol, I couldn't stand that game). Platformers just take awhile for me.

[Fatney]

A friend recommendend me God Hand, and he also lent me his copy :)

And this game is ####ing AWESOME!!

[Yazarc]

A friend recommendend me God Hand, and he also lent me his copy :)

You should be able to find your own copy pretty cheap. I see that game in bargain bins EVERYWHERE.

[jeffx]

Just beat Klonoa Wiimake
About to beat Chocobo's Dungeon (Wii)
Middle of day 4 in Devil Survivor
Probably dropped Devil Summoner 2 for good (35 hours in but haven't touched it in 3 weeks...)

[Fatney]

Yeah, I know, I see it everytime I'm at the local GAME or Gamestop. But I lent him Ico and Persona 3 in return, and hey, now I'm saving money!

It's quite disappointing that this game almost went straight to the bargan bins. Like, I'm disappointed in the majority of gamers.

[Enzeru]

I'm in the middle of OG1 ATM. So much text in between missions. X.x Still, that's not a bad thing. Probably one of my favourite SRPGs ever.

[banballow]

Pangya
It's been about three and a half weeks now, and I haven't skipped a day. After about 36 hours, I have completed Story Mode.

[No One]

I just got Devil Survivor & The World Ends With You. But I'll start playing Devil Survivor.

[Juanblue85]

I have been paying Crackdown lately and I unlocked most of the achievements for Midnight Club: Los Angeles. I recently beat Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.

[Enzeru]

I just noticed that Season 4 of PangYa is out! Downloading now. ^^

[bullman422]

I'm still playing Saints Row 2 although I am sort of stuck on the last few remaining missions (corporate Meltdown is annoying). I'm at level 4 with Fallout 3 but still just barely surviving. I got Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion G.O.T.Y. edition over the weekend for only twenty bucks. Although I wasn't expecting much, I am actually enjoying this game a little more than Fallout 3. It probably helps that exploring the countryside doesn't always mean packs of raiders or mutant fire ants will always be on your butt the minute you walk outside the city. I have also gotten into replaying classic RPGs like Shining Force and Shining in the Darkness (Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection). It's funny how much I remember about these games despite the fact that I haven't played them in nearly fifteen years.

[Fatney]

I'll take a pack of raiders over one mudcrab every five minutes any day.

[Kakizaki]

Wrapping up Metal Max Returns and starting another play through of SMT 1.

[Crow T. Robot]

'Silent Hill Origins'
The only SH I havent played. It's pretty good so far.

'Devil Survivor'
I started over again cuz I didnt level up as much as I could have.

[Zacewing]

I just beat FF4DS and Tales Of Innocence last night.

[LadyRayna]

Beat Suikoden and Gabriel Knight. Suikoden is addictive as hell and although GK has some very obscure puzzles, it's an excellent game and the story just kicks ass. If you're even remotely interested in point-and-click adventure games you have to play GK. Overall, I liked both games very much.

I'm currently playing Etrian Odyssey.

Yeah the old Suikoden games are great but the PS2 ones really suck.

[Candle Jack]

Mega Man Powered Up

[Andy]

Trying to get through Devil Summoner 2. I'm so fed up with it. Hate to say how much I dislike it, but it's just a chore to play it now.

At least the plushie's cool.

[ViolenceJack]

Tales of Vesperia, Grade Farming, started with 2700, now I have 4200, just need like 6700, so only need about 2500 more and then I can happily beat the game.

[Delition]

I've been playing Team Fortress 2 (PC), along with Devil Survivor.

I recently beat Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare as it has been sitting on my shelf forever. Right after beating that one, I started playing One Eyed Jack's Revenge. I must say I liked New Nightmare better, but they're two completely different games. We've also been playing more of Marvel Ultimate Alliance in preparation for the sequel. I'm just hoping they remove Deadpool's old script and voice actor. I still say that the "Hulk Vs." movie version of Deadpool was the best version of him besides the comics.

[RayFoxSith]

Was on with Monster Hunter, got into a little of Skies of Arcadia, gonna play Prince of Persia (new cel shaded one) tomorrow.

[Kakizaki]

Smt 1.

[Crow T. Robot]

"F.E.A.R 2"
I actually really like this game, I also liked/like the first one.

"Silent Hill Origins"

[dungeon_man]

Still playing The Dark Spire. On the seventh (final?) floor. I seem to have made a fatal flaw with my party though. Still running the aggressive formation, but I haven't been able to upgrade my fighter/priest into a paladin. He probably needs charisma which I didn't realize is not available in the guild. So I have Samurai, Fighter/Priest, Ninja, and Druid. Fighter/Priest is handicapped with a poor AC if I want to cast spells. I might have to make him another Samurai if things get too tough.

Also playing Retro Game Challenge. That thing is dripping with awesomeness. There is absolutely no reason for anybody to not play it unless they have no soul. Best $30 I spent all year.

[Fatney]

Been playing Battlefield 1943 today. I rarely play FPS's in a competitive way (most fond of single player campaign or just playing with friends, especially because I usually suck), but I'm starting to get good at this game. It's really fun.

[Zenieth]

I just got back into playing shadow of the collosus, that game still takes my breath away. I really appreciated every single thing about it and still consider it my favorite action/platformer.

[PandaFlax]

Just finished playing Persona 4, so now I'm going to play Final Fantasy XII again.

[Flagg]

Beat Bioshock recently. Wasent good as people tend to say but good still.

Currently working on Rise Of The Ninja and Fable 2.

[Constraint]

Grandia - Inside the enemy base.
BTW, the game is easy...

[Fatney]

Yeah, I know. I remember the game being kick ass as a kid, so I bought it recently, and it still was kick ass. Except for the fact that most fights can be won by spamming normal attacks without even healing at all. The combat system otherwise is excellent though.

Started on Phoenix Wright: Justice for All. Stuck on the second case already :\ I hate when the game asks me to do the impossible.

[RayFoxSith]

BlazBlue. Very cool game. Keep getting my ass handed to me online.

[Crow T. Robot]

Beat Bioshock recently. Wasent good as people tend to say but good still.

Currently working on Rise Of The Ninja and Fable 2.
It's funny you mention that about Bioshock, I'm hearing that more recently. Yes I believe it's overrated but I also have it as my favorite FPS game, well technically System Shock is my favorite FPS but they're pretty much the same.

Playing: "F.E.A.R 2"

[DestronPrime]

I was playing a lot of PSP stuff, y'know, but I stopped in preparation for selling my old one and getting a new one...

But I just start playing Ys Oath in Felghana.

Very good, almost at where I last was interupted on my playthrough.

[Saishu]

Phantasy Star III, on my DS (the GBA version). This game is so much easier than the first two.

[Hitoshura]

Awesome! Are you gonna play Origin after that?

[Foobar]

Finally got around to picking up Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. Gamestop was having some kind of sale, so VP: CotP was surprisingly $20, which is half off the original price point. Too bag Dragon Quest V wasn't on sale, but I haven't even started DQIV yet, so that can wait.

VP seems to have a pretty twisted premise, you actually have to sacrifice allies to win battles, progress the story and gain new abilities. And here I thought Fire Emblem was harsh for making you decide who you send out to die.

But I'm gonna get back to that one later. For now, I'm rotating Devil Survivior, Devil Summoner 2, Phantom Hourglass and Pokemon Platinum.

Also not buying any more games until I've saved up for a Wii or PSP. Probably a Wii since I'm undecided on getting a PSP or PSP Go. I'm probably going to pre-order Persona either way, I'm just not sold on PSP Go until I see what's available for download at launch.

I have a stack of 20+ DS games I've yet to finish since I got my DSi and Devil Survivor will likely be the first of them I finish. I've got more than enough to hold me over til I have a Wii. Gotta get Punch Out, Zelda and Metroid Prime Trilogy after I get a Wii, though.

[Foryth]

Neverwinter Nights with the two expansions, and also Icewind Dale 2 with the NPC Project mod.

[Zenieth]

Just finished up Shadow of the collosus again and playing Yume Nikki.

[banballow]

I've got this nice new laptop, so I'm making use of it. Taking a break from Pangya on the PSP, diving into Dreamfall (played it on Xbox, but want to try out the PC version as well), and of course...

... Pangya on the PC.

[Delition]

I've been playing more Devil Survivor and Team Fortress 2, but I also started playing MGS4 finally. While I've never been a huge fan of the other games (I still own them, but I don't think they're 10/10 A+++), I am enjoying the game so far and will probably actually buy it when I get some money or the price drops.

Sadly, I'm actually debating on whether or not I should finish playing Lifeline on the PS2. I'm near the end, but I never got around to finishing it.

There is a distinct possibility. It really depends on the translation status at that point, as if it shows good progress I will just wait to play the game with that, but if it looks like it is still in for the long run, I'll go ahead and FAQ it up.

[YellowBlue]

Final Fantasy IX - on the 3rd disc

One of my friends has me playing Minecraft (http://www.minecraft.net)

Because I had nothing better to do:

[Goketsuji]

Ah...

I was playing Power Instinct 2 a while ago... I'd forgotten how much I like this game.

I'm sort of hoping Senzo Kuyou, the new Goketsuji game, may get a US release, but that's most likely wishful thinking, heh.

Right now, I'm just kind of messing around on God Hand.

[Goketsuji]

(Whoops, double posted by accident. Ignore this one.)

[Yazarc]

I just lost an hour of progress in Black Sigil and I'm trying to give myself a pep talk to go back at it.

Maybe some Starfy in the meantime. I hope you people are giving that game a shot. It's great!

[Constraint]

Grandia froze for the fourth time so I lose motivation to continue. Apparently it happens on a PS2, but not on a PSone.

Anyways, gonna get back on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

[Juanblue85]

I have been playing Lost Odyssey and made it to disk two now I am playing a bit of Mercenaries 2.

[Mellusia]

I'm procrastinating on beating Devil Summoner 2 (I got stuck and basically need to grind which often deters me from continuing a game >_>), and currently playing Ace Attorney 3: Trials and Tribulations for the DS on the side.

As well, there's also a little of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions for the PSP. I beat the original PS1 version a few times already, so I'm not in a big hurry to finish the PSP remake :P

[Blackwing Dragon]

Just finished prototype a week or two ago.
D*cking around with Rollercoaster Tycoon 3...for the first time no less.
Other than that just kindai ahgiadhgiahg waiting for REd Faction Guerilla for the pc.

[Hakuoro]

I just finished Tales of Vesperia a couple days ago and I loved it. <3 Now I'm replaying Persona 4 and I'm gonna start up Devil Survivor sometime soon, as well.

[Enzeru]

Hatsune Miku is so fun! The only problem is the random frame-rate hiccups.

I'm also trying to finish up Fantasy Golf Pangya by doing the License and Tournament modes. So many hours wasted with this game. xD

[Symon]

i am playing Persona 3:FES on PS2, and a second playthrough of Mass Effect on the 360 :)

[Tello, the Hark!]

DDS2, I'm getting caught up on my Atlus games

[Fatney]

Okami. I started on this game a year ago, used a month or something to get halfway through, and I picked this game up again today... I don't know why I had that break.

[Yazarc]

^The Wii version or the PS2?

Either way, what a great game!!!!

[Fatney]

The PS2 version. And yeah, I really love this game, everything is almost perfect. People should learn from Clover.

[ViolenceJack]

After earning 6700grade I finished Vesperia. Been playing Soul Calibur 4 lately.

[Yet Another Tim]

I'm currently on my second play-through of Endless Frontier.

[Tello, the Hark!]

Just finished DDS2, now starting Nocturne

[Yazarc]

I put Astro Boy into my GBA player this morning. After a bit, I decided I wanted to play Mischief Makers for the N64 as it's been years. Considering I'm going to be 30 in like 2 weeks, it was really weird to still see my old save file on there listing my age as 17 when I first got it.

[seigyukai]

I'm addicted to Devil Survivor. The characters and plot are getting more interesting all the time, and as I'm nearing the end and beginning to see the deadly consequences of my decisions I want to see more and more what will happen next. I'm also trying to finish Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, but I always have a hard time justifying the removal of Devil Survivor from the DS :) Over the weekend I bought Wrath Unleashed from Amazon mostly because my free trial membership of the 'Prime' shipping option is running out... I've heard the game is a little iffy thanks to the loading times between tactical and battle screens but hey if it's anywhere near Archon in design quality I know I'll have fun. There really should be more games like this; it's not exactly a secret that Archon and its few spiritual successors were and are some of the most beloved games of all time. I wonder how difficult (or possible) it would be to create a genre hybrid like Archon in DarkBasic or Lite-C?

[ViolenceJack]

Been messing around in Soul Calibur 4 again.

[Hitoshura]

Raging at the final boss of Bionic Commando Rearmed on Hard mode.

[Fatney]

I couldn't sleep yesterday and for some reason I just got a huge urge to play SMT: Nocturne. So I started it up and continued my save, and I had a blast. Until that ugly elephant ####, he crushed me. Was it Girimehkala?

[Sleepless Neko]

^Does he looks like one eyed elephant and repels all your physicals attack? If yes. Yes, he's Grimehkala.

Replaying Grimgrimoire, I totally forgot where I was.

[Fatney]

Yes, he repelled pysical and I think he was void to Ice or something, so I didn't get to inflict any damage to him before I was killed. I think I have to use a guide more often to beat this game, even though I prefer to finish my games by myself...

[Camanche]

Yakuza and River King.

[ViolenceJack]

Finally.. 31 Honors in SC4. Now I just need to start racking up on gold.

[RayFoxSith]

Back and forth with King of Fighters XII and BlazBlue.

Also played the Final Fantasy Dissidia demo. I was actually surprised at how fun it is.

[L-san]

Currently playing through Persona 3. BlazBlue is next. =D

[Soushi_Grapple]

Well, still on the trek for the holy lost box of memory cards, but I did find a few that I had found right after losing the box, so now I'm back to playing Chrono Cross New Game+ #1 of 2. Yay.

I wish so bad I had my PS2 cards to finish Devil Summoner 1. I feel bad for my Raiho, not removed from the box yet..

[SickleCellAnemia]

King of Fighters XII

[ViolenceJack]

ToV 2nd Playthrough, after Aspio Lv37 (God, I love 10xp).

[DrJonAngus]

SMT: Nocturne, Persona 4, Devil Survivor, and Final Fantasy VI.

[Zenieth]

Just started on ff9, cutest protagonist ever. I want to rape vivi.

[DrJonAngus]

I don't care what anybody says, but Final Fantasy 9 is a great game. Make sure to look out for those Stalazzio coins though. You probably aren't that far yet, but there are these hidden coins you can cash in for good items, like the Blood Sword for Steiner. They are all hidden, but there is a section of the guide on RPG classics that tells you how to find them. Have fun by way!

[SlaughterX]

Finally getting into Tales of Vesperia... hopefully this will be the first Tales game I actually beat.

[Fatney]

I thought most (reasonable) people enjoyed FF9. It's my favorite Final Fantasy.

[SlaughterX]

FF8 is the one that sucks.

[IceCold_Assassin]

Digital Devil saga: Around level 28, at the amusement park dungeon. I do not comprehend.

[Fatney]

FF8 is the one that sucks.

It doesn't suck, it's enjoyable and the junction system allows a great deal of customization. But I have to say that it is one of the weakest, if not the weakest Final Fantasy.

[Kuzuha]

Fallout 3 Point Lookout DLC, Silent Hill Origins, Metal Gear AC!D and SMT Nocturne.

[Zenieth]

I had just finished ff8 a while back and honestly as it currently stands it's my current favourite FF, because both it's story and game style is so far from the norm that most ff's do. However playing ff9, it doesn't feel new at all but for some reason it's got a charm that makes excellent.

[Hamel]

I had just finished ff8 a while back and honestly as it currently stands it's my current favourite FF, because both it's story and game style is so far from the norm that most ff's do.

A few of the worst plot twists ever
Only beaten by 12's "My evil twin brother did it"

[Vahn]

I didn't like one of the twists in VIII. I don't know how to do spoiler tags, so I won't say what it is.

Anyway, I never beat it.

My friend challenged me to play Grandia II nonstop till I beat it (which I did), play through FFVIII (which I'm doing right now), beat Ozma, Beat Margaret, get around to finishing Nocturne on hard mode, start and finish Dark Cloud 2, and once it comes out play with and beat him at least once with every character in Dissidia.

Crap. I've got my work cut out for me. And all so he'll put Chrono Cross on my PSP.

[grrouchie]

The woman is currently playing Gears of War 2 (beat it this morning on my profile, working on beating it on her profile).

I'm on day 3 of Devil Survivor, also about to tear into a Pizza with some hot sauce.

I want to play a console game, but she has been playing a bit more lately haha.

I don't think we need to go there. You have to admit that, plot aside, the design of FFVIII had some real balls to shake up the norms of the series. Same with FFXII.

Also that FFXII has a level of maturity (actual maturity, people, not blood and guts) to it that the most popular installments of the series can't really claim. Though FFXI had many as well.

Amazing the plots you can create when Kitase isn't there making it an emo kid affair.

[Joker-sama]

Is it a Final Fantasy game?


No, FF isn't so stupid, especially oldest... This game's MUCH worster.


'SMT III: Nocturne' stupid Thor with his stupid lightning killing my Uzume
; ;
I know, what you talking about. I very long time couldn't beat him. I was near became crazy, when I've done that!

[Delition]

Sadly enough my friends have me back into playing Final Fantasy XI.

Aside from that, since I cleared Devil Survivor once I decided to randomly play Master of the Monster Lair again. I keep forgetting how much fun I have with this game until I play it again. My friend and I also broke out the NES to play Kirby and Rockin' Kats a little while ago. And again, we're playing more Marvel Ultimate Alliance to get ready for the sequel.

[Zenieth]

foobar that's the main reason I liked both, though I do like all. They had the guts to do things far more differently than the other ff's. Really they'd of been truly great games if certain faults didn't hinder them. Character wise for ff12 (at least the main cast) and storywise for ff8, if they had given moredetail to those factors they'd of been truly astounding and original by ff standards and even rpg standards to a certain extent.

[Camanche]

Going back to Persona 4. Should probably finish this game. I'm only just getting used to the 'schedule' system.

[phineasfool]

Finished up Phoenix Wright and now I am working on Devil Survivor.

[Steel Greyfalke]

Stilll Workin on Jump Super Stars

[Camanche]

I haven't seen Devil Survivor at any of the stores. If they don't get Strange Journey I'm going to worry. I hate having to pre-order stuff.

[Crabman]

Gran Turismo 4. It's a great game for now, when studying for exams; which sounds counter productive but I study for a few hours, do a race and feel satisified. I also started playing the game with a manual transmission, which actually makes the game alot easier as you can engine brake for turns.

I was also thinking about getting Devil Survivor...but it's been really hard to find up here in Canada D: I pre-ordered it for my brother for his birthday, but he's been raving about it so much I've been thinking about getting it too.

[Camanche]

Canada hates Atlus. :(

[Steel Greyfalke]

^ Woah! Thats a big Carp XD

[Olethros]

Canada hates Atlus. :(

Everyone hates Canada Cam. EVERYONE! ;)

[RayFoxSith]

Practicing MvC2 on my PS2. Getting ready for the PS3 version next week. Air Combos are a bitch to pull off. >.<

[Delition]

Sadly, I'm looking more towards watching others fight via spectator than fighting myself. I'm not that good at the game, and I think it'd be fun watching anyone fight. I'm still going to play online when I get it on PSN, but I'm still looking more towards watching than fighting.

I should break out my PS2 copy as well to prepare...but that requires me to not play Turtles in Time when it comes out.

[Joker-sama]

Canada hates Atlus. :(

Wow. Do you mean that each man or woman or even kid in Canada hates Atlus? Is it a collective mind, or something?

[Camanche]

Heh, I meant 'Atlus hates Canada'. Had some drain bramage going on there.

[Joker-sama]

Camanche, that sounds much better... Well they don't love Russia, too. Though the reason of this is well known...

[RaMestre]

Wild Arms XF, Wild Arms 5, Breath of Fire IV and Grandia. ♥

[DestronPrime]

Camanche, that sounds much better... Well they don't love Russia, too. Though the reason of this is well known...

Apparently I'm foolish, because I know nothing.


I do recognize that they hate Canada though, and for no reason at all! We're just above America, it isn't THAT hard to ship it to east-south Ontario. Obviously it is that retailers in Canada hate Atlus, and Canadians love Atlus, and Atlus... They have their "low production numbers" thing which grinds my gears.



I'm currently playing Xenosaga Episode II with my bro. We're at Orgulla, and can beat her, but we're going to grind for a few hours so that we can get the bonus cash to help pay of Captain Matthew's debt. It is weird because I saw III first, read the entire digital encyclopaedia, then saw parts of I and am now watching all of II.

I'm personally playing Ys OiF, but had to take a 2 week break due to a vacation trip, and now I'm sidetracked by other things. Still, I gotta find some time... How about during all the nothing I do each day, eh?

[Flamestos]

Just finished Heavenly Sword. It was a good game besides some combat issues & it's length.

I just started Blood Of Bahamut. I can't understand the story at all since I don't speak / read Japanese but the battling structure of the giants (or gigants) is great so far.

[Joker-sama]

DestronPrime, well, Russia have state borders with Japan, but they won't let publish their game production here... 'Cause we're have here one of strongest game filibustering in the world. They both (American and Japanese game and music industries) every year lose millions of dollars because of this. It's much worse than 'low production numbers'.

I really liked Heavenly Sword, I just really wish it wasn't so short. If they do a sequel (and I hope they do) they need to add a jump button.

Blood of Bahamut (the artwork) reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus/Ico.


'SMT: Nocturne' still I started over again cuz I fused stupid demons.

[igotmy9milli]

Lunar: DS, Ys I, and Riviera, still. Stuck on the first two, only have like a chapter and a half to go for Riviera, then I can pick up Yygdra Union and see what the hubub is about. ;) Oh, and Lunar: The Silver Star.

[Tello, the Hark!]

I just put down Nocturne (I'm seriously bored with this game, It feels like a really long Persona dungeon). tried playing FFXII, but it feels like all the same elements of the rest of the FF franchise, I'm tired of it.

So I'm playing Stella Deus now.

[phineasfool]

Finally getting around to starting Disgaea 3 after having the game for months.

[ShadowRaskolnik]

I decided to finish the last few floors in Etrian Odyssey after noticing that I still have Etrian Odyssey 2 to play.

[Andy]

Started Digital Devil Saga over the weekend. I don't really watch anime so I've never really cared about having an original Japanese dub over something, but some of the voice work in this game is cringe-worthy.

I had to listen to that LA-LA-LA-LA song for what seemed like an eternity. Story's cool enough so far, but yeah, the voices annoy.

[Hitoshura]

^Annoying? Nope.

[DamageCity]

Steambot Chronicles PSP

I'm enjoying it but I miss a lot of the mini games and such.

[Andy]

^Annoying? Nope.


To me, yes.

[Hitoshura]

^Annoying? Nope.


To me, yes.

Well, you're silly. Also, if you're citing 'lack of emotion' as why the voices are annoying, then you probably need to play more. That's just an assumption on my part though, since that's what everybody complains about.

Still, prefering Japanese voice acting to English is just silly, unless you can actually understand Japanese enough to appreciate it instead of IT IS JAPANESE THEREFORE IT IS SUPERIOR.

[IceCold_Assassin]

^Annoying? Nope.


To me, yes.

I do not comprehend.

[Camanche]

I really liked Heavenly Sword, I just really wish it wasn't so short. If they do a sequel (and I hope they do) they need to add a jump button.

I heard they are doing a sequel, but this time Kai's the main character. I also hear they are taking their sweet ass time making it.

Note: I didn't mind the VA in DDS at all really. I've heard much worse. The lack of emotion is part of the story IIRC.

[Crabman]

I bought Shining Force EXA, cause I was always interested in the game. It's so ####ing plain, I just traded it in and got Amplitude for PS2 instead. Taking a while to get used to, but it's pretty fun!

I think I didn't like EXA too much because, well, I'm not sure what it wants to be. It starts off like Tales of Vesperia with a hip anime opening, then has a kid chasing and subsequently killing a pig in some weird Zelda-esque fight that doesn't feel quite right. Then you get some dialogue where the characters are all chummy and stuff. It just felt very...contrived. I know I didn't get very far, but I wasn't really feeling it.

I'm still pretty new to console RPGs, and JRPGs in particular. But all the ones I've played, there was this spark of inspiration, something so unique about them that really hooked me. EXA just felt like a generic anime. Nocturne starts with the end of the world and Persona 2 starts with a high school principal dead. EXA had me hunting pigs. I looked at some screen shots, and eventually you hunt a whole bunch of pigs!

Looking forward to picking up Nocturne again after my exams are done.

I'm not citing anything for my distaste of the voices, I'm just saying that they're bad. I'm still very early in the game, but I get the gist as to why everyone is so stiff. They don't know what tears are, they don't know what "sad" is, or what "pissed" is. Very deep stuff I'm sure.

I don't prefer Japanese voices to English ones in anything, really. Like I said, I'm not an anime aficionado, and am pretty new to the SMT series in general, but my wanting the original voices isn't coming from a "Japan rules!" viewpoint. It's just that the English voices grate me at times and can't help but wonder what the originals sounded like. Maybe they were just as bad, but I wouldn't know.



I do not comprehend.

Maybe this will help:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOBwAWaRt64

Or anytime Cielo speaks. It's like hanging out with Little Jacob from GTA IV, except nowhere near as good or funny.

[Soushi_Grapple]

That's the point though... these characters are like soldiers, they don't have too much emotion-- Argilla and Heat show theirs the most, though, you just didn't get far enough as far as I'm aware. Cielo sounds robotic because its his personality...

[Andy]

Cielo doesn't sound robotic, he sounds like a white guy poorly imitating a Jamaican accent.

On a related note, I'm gonna be in Houston tomorrow working with some friends of mine. Wanna fight about it?

[kuroshimodo]

. . . At the moment I am playing Chaos Wars and kinda stuck since I neglected to train Grave. I am in the middle of the Juuji and Grave solo battle and Juuji is level 17 while my Grave is 12. It really sucks.

And you're blaming the VAs for this?

You have lost just about any credibility you ever had in an argument about voice acting.

Also, you're ridiculous, as DDS is pretty much entirely comprised of seasoned voice actors in the gaming and anime industry. People who are known to be quite good, and know what they are doing. Pretty sure they're being spot on.

I'm not trying to make you admit that the voices are bad, I'm trying to tell you that I think they're terrible.

I do. As in opinion, not fact.

And in my personal opinion they're awful all around. Just because you like Cowboy Bebop doesn't mean you have to love everything someone does.

I personally don't see how someone can listen to Sera's "singing" and not want to put it on mute. Some real bad stuff going on.

But then again, taste is most certainly subjective.

I haven't played DDS yet, but I gave the video a listen and didn't think it was too bad. It definitely isn't this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bangt7d9vGA)

Well, your personal opinion is wrong then. You must have expectations no voice actor can meet, apparently.

In before "Opinions can't be wrong, that's what makes them opinions!" Oh, but they can, and this is a prime example.

^Your hair sucks.

lolololol opinion!

Played more Amplitude. Still hard :(

[Rednusander]

Hi guys!

We have lots of threads built for the sole purpose of debating the quality of voice acting, and especially the ever-raging debate on subs, dubs, and English versus Japanese voice actors.

Ah, I meant Gale, not Cielo. It's been awhile since I picked up Pt 1 and those are the 2 chars I never use. -.-;

Nonetheless, I'd rather not fight. I was just trying to point out its the tone of the game. IIRC, Generations of Chaos is supposed to have worse VA than Resident Evil 1, or so I read... Also, did you ever think that it might be the director's fault, not the VAs? =/ If you don't like the english acting, either mute it like you said, or import, stop bitching.

Oh I was just kidding about the fighting obviously, and yeah, Gale's the robotic one. I'm sure that's for some deep seeded reason because I've seen his one second flashbacks and whatnot.

I do enjoy the crap that's hit the fan just because I threw out an opinion on a game I was playing, though. So it goes.

I can verify this.

Also, Andy, please don't play Star Ocean 2.

Haha, that's unfortunately one of my favorite games. I used to play the hell out of that game when I was a freshman in high school. Yes, the voices are ATROCIOUS, but they're laughably bad. I have the PSP version and I miss the stupid chuckle I'd get after leveling up with anyone.

It's right up there with Jill Sandwich.

Man, now I feel like we're best friends. XD My cousin and I spent an entire summer playing SO2 and it remains one of my fav games... I even got the remake, but... and god forbid I get struck down for saying it... loved the original voices better. I own 2 copies (there was two pressings, on one the disc is shinier and the other is more dull) and an imported copy of the PSX version, love that game. Hated 3. Loved 1. Havent played 4.

[Andy]

I gotta agree with you on preferring the original voices. It's not that they were better (they were NOT) but I grew up with them so they're going to be tops with me forever. I liked First Departure enough, too, but didn't really have the same staying power as Second Story.

Never played 3 because I heard nothing but terrible things about it. I don't own a nexgen console so I haven't played 4.

I began playing Suikoden II (again) because I love the game and therefore I want to get every character for the first time.

I have been on a trip this week, so I finally came home today. The first thing I did was downloading Mothership Zeta for Fallout 3, and just took a break now after about an hour.

And while on that trip I started on and finished Mirrors Edge.

I also finished Phoenix Wright: Justice for All (the second) the other day. The last case was extremely good.

[Crabman]

Played quite a few games in short bursts.

I gave up on Amplitude. It's fun, but I don't like the music and visually, it's trying to hard. Music for a game like that needs to be gloriously electronic, which I hear Frequency is.

So I took Amplitude back to the store and got GTA3, because after all these years, I never did play the game that started it all. It's amazing to go from a game with a misguided artstyle (Amplitude) to one that is so sharp (GTA3). It's so dense, so right. I comically got my ass beat by a couple gangsters with shotguns and I had a dinky little pistol, oh well :(

I'm dipping my feet in the translation of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. Having played EP first, it feels...surreal to play as Tatsuya and not Maya. It has a much longer setup than EP; which makes sense for what is supposed to be the first game in the P2 storyline. Many people say that the team of Eikichi, Lisa and Tatsuya are much more organic than the EP characters, but this early in the game, I can't really say. It feels much more playful, however; eyes bulge at surprising moments and Lisa constantly tugs at your sleeves. EP almost feels draped in professionalism in that regard.

I bought Rez for PS2 off some guy on Kijiji for $5. I already have it for 360, but I figured for $5, why the hell not? It's still trippy as hell.

Hmm, electronic music games huh... It will be somewhat pricey to get into, especially if you cannot currently play imports but, might I recommend the Beatmania series? (Not the awful US version though.) Beatmania is heavily electronic-based, and is ridiculously fun. It's kind of got a steep learning curve, but it's great.

Finished up Roppongi in SMT1.

So I picked up Arc the Lad, but forgot to hack in some revivals so I can get through the next-to-last place. ><; I'm not wasting 100 yrs leveling up in a strategy game.

So.. Im kinda... deciding what to pick up at the moment. Maybe I'll go back to New Game + #1 on Chrono Cross...

Guilty Gear X

[phineasfool]

Finally started my 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect

Also started Phoenix Wright: Justice For All

[Crabman]

I got a PS3 last week! $250 included a 20 GB PS3, Oblivion, DMC4, some Japanese Guundam game, MGS4, FFVII (incomplete though), FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFX-2, FFXII, and two DualShocks. Needless to say, I am ####ing happy.

I played some DMC4. I think ZOE2 really helped me with action games; I was able to swallow DMC4's silliness and get a moderate grip on combat.

I also played GT HD Concept. It's probably the purest form of GT you can get: one course, 10 cars. You memorize that course, you learn the nuances of each car, and the seconds drop. I hate the fact it automatically tries to meter the throttle for you, but you can turn down the effect (idk if you can take it of though). It's excellent.

I gave Devil Summoner 2 a whirl yesterday too. Such a charming game; the combat is fun, the atmosphere is whole. I love it.

I haven't really played to much lately, a few minutes of Tomb Raider: Anniversary / Underworld last night. I still think Underworld looks great.

[Balrog]

My 360 red-ringed so I'm catching up on my backlog. Einhander is totally boss, I can't believe I didn't pick it up ages ago. Also, Lock's Quest on the DS is pretty awesome.

Most of the day I've been playing Tales of Vesperia... I'm approaching the end now I... think.

I want to know if it works with every PSX release.

Playing Persona PSP, don't really know why though with the English version soon to be released.

Initial D: Street Stage.

I've been wanting to play a home version of Initial D for years now; the arcade had its allure, but, like classic SF fans, you practice at home and bring your game to the arcade. Finally found a shop that sold the game; I traded in my import MS Gundam: Crossfire game and got $20 of the price, bringing the price down to a rather reasonable $20.

Playing an import game for the first time, I never realize how much is different, as stupid as that sounds. Huge foreign text dominates the screen, characters prattle in foreign languages, and every menu selection could very well be a possible deadly "Delete save game?" option. I progress with trepidation until I come to grips with the game.

The first thing, that I never really realized in the arcade, is that Initial D really isn't what it tries to come off as. The anime (the Japanese version, anyways) is highly technical - throttles are controlled within millimeters, braking points are sweated over, the steering angles tweaked with protractors. I honestly expected something like Gran Turismo, a little more arcadey.

Initial D is actually not this!

It's gloriously Daytona USA.

Yes, that Daytona USA, with it's lurid 4-1-4 shifing mechanics, stab-at-the-brakes and throttle lifting mechanims. It's a little more subdued - ironically Initial D, a game based on an anime about drifting has less actual drifting than Daytona USA, a game about stock-car racing in which the grip is so high if you drift, you die - but the mechanics are still there. And it's wonderful, as always. The courses are brilliant, building a rhythm, with U-turns being accents in the song. The actual music is ripped straight from the anime - Initial D is legendary for it's use of Eurobeat, and it pumps the blood even more when your actually racing.

It's a brilliant, brilliant game, and after all these years, worth the wait. I'll probably get the PS3 one too, despite having different physics.

[sfried]

Just picked up and playing Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

[marche1990]

[Crow T. Robot]

The first Fallout. Can't wait to try out the second. Mixing some Rock Band 2 as well.
I love the older 'Fallout' games, I have yet to play Fallout 3 though unfortunately.

[GB140]

BioShock - Trying to find the rest of the 'Power to the People' Upgrade Stations.

Droplitz - I'm so glad I got this on my Xbox 360. Trying to get more high scores in Classic mode.

[Kakizaki]

SMT I, Forgotten Worlds, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake

[GB140]

SSX 3 - This one is my favorite of all the SSX games.

[Fatney]

I actually finished it (100% too!), but I recently played Shadow Complex. Awesome game.

I also started on Dissidia today. Seems OK, but it's really confusing sometimes.

[Hitoshura]

SMT I, Forgotten Worlds, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake

Which system?

[diosisback]

I want to know if it works with every PSX release.

AFAIK, the only version that doesn´t work is the Japanese PSN Store version. I am currently playing it on my PSP, the game is awesome, Kojima at his best.

Now only Front Mission 5 remains unplayable...

[Hitoshura]

Disaster: Day of Crisis. I hope you rot in hell, Reggie Fils-Aime. This game is great, and it would have been free money.

[ViolenceJack]

Forget if I posted this but Fallout 3 and Fuel. I have to return these on the 30th, so I'm gonna miss Fallout 3, I want to pick it up but I'm gonna wait for the goty version to come out.

[Soushi_Grapple]

Well, put down P3 because Normal mode was upsetting me. Went and grabbed the last new copy of FES from Gamestop and in 3 days racked up... 30 hours? I just beat the Lovers shadow. I'm actually enjoying P3! Yay!

Normal mode was upsetting you?

[Zenieth]

I'm finally playing p3 myself, it's actually a lot easier than others made it out to be, well at least from my perspective.

Normal mode was upsetting you? I enjoyed the normal difficulty way more than hard mode from Fes. The enemies were only marginally harder and the velvet room was prohibitively expensive. It was pretty lame not being able to tweak the persona as much as I wanted.

[Emilio Morales]

Devil Survivor (dying over and over with Beelzebub), The Warriors on PSP, Heavy Nova and Streets of Rage 2.

[Enzeru]

Whatever backlogged game I have until September 22nd, unless Gamestop has Wild ARMs 5...

[Foobar]

Trying to get back on track and finish Digital Devil Saga, its just that Yellow Ring doesn't want to be found. Hopefully I can get all those optional bosses done this weekend so I can finally move on to DDS2.

Aside from that, Dissidia. Lots and lots of Dissidia.
