What are you currently playing?

[Sayckeone]

I might buy PL for my g/f. I was hoping it was a more straight up adventure game like King's Quest than a puzzler. I have read nothing on it. :?
Definitely puzzles first. It's pretty much what the game is all about. You can't even progress in the game without solving puzzles, and literally everyone has you solving them at one point or another. I actually think it's a good game to pick up for a GF, especially since the really tough puzzles you can try and work out together.

[Kakizaki]

She loves puzzles. She was a Picross maniac, but I personally wanted it to be more like an adventure game because I was thinking of buying a copy for myself. Oh well, Dungeon Explorer is out for DS.

[Sayckeone]

WTH is Dungeon Explorer? I keep seeing it's name thrown around. Is it like the TG16 one?

[Kakizaki]

Where the old TG16 ones were closer to Gauntlet, I would say these newer ones (ds & psp) are closer to Diablo or PSO.

[Master Zombots]

Oh well, Dungeon Explorer is out for DS. Yup, it sure is. I'd be playing it right now if I had it. I ordered it on Amazon about a week and a half ago, and it has a predicted shipping date of the 19th. Arg...

[Kakizaki]

Yeah, I had no idea GS would classify a full price game as a class C title. This is getting absolutely retarded.

[Master Zombots]

Well, when you get your copy Kaki and if you get one Saycke, maybe we could play on Wi-Fi. :P

[Sayckeone]

Randomly generated dungeons, I'm guessing?

[Kakizaki]

Maybe after I get an USB adapter as well.

[Kakizaki]

Randomly generated dungeons, I'm guessing?

Probably....sorry. I'm not certain though.

[Master Zombots]

Randomly generated dungeons, I'm guessing? I think that I've read that somewhere; I'm not completely sure either though.

[Flußkönig]

Professor Layton.

Has anyone here played the old SFC Front Mission? I remember the game being pretty difficult back in 01'/02', but it's more or less a cakewalk now. I'm not even bothering to upgrade my wanzers much and I'm still sweeping mother ####ers. Also, funds seem to be much more readily available.

Are you playing through Royd's storyline? It is really easy throughout the middle of the game, but the difficulty does pick up towards the end (especially the last few fight).

Kevin's scenario has some extremely challenging fights. I think it will be far more satisfying for you as an experienced player.

[Sayckeone]

Lloyd's story first, Kevin' second. I might actually take a little break between the two though.

But yeah, there are battles that I just remember giving me somewhat of a hard time, and I'm plowing through them now with half a party. Hopefully Kevin's storyline does provide the challenge I remember.

[Kakizaki]

I thought the second half of the original was easier, but I think that may have been partially due to the Zeige cannon (or whatever the name of that uber rifle was).

[RayFoxSith]

Played about an hour of Lost Odyssey. Will play more tonight and tomorrow.

[Dead to Rights]

Finished two runs of Devil May Cry 4 (Devil Hunter and Son of Sparda) I managed to make it to floor #76 in Bloody Palace before dying as well. Overall great game, sure the story is cheesy but in the end it's all about the gameplay. Nice job Capcom.

[Arjuna]

Oh man.. Damon Gant. I KNEW he was an evil bastard, was playing some more PW at work. Still not finished though! Broke into his locker and now we are all hearing Ema's testimonies.

[JMAN]

Gonna start Lost Odyssey soon, just got it in the mail.

[EvilHero]

Professor Layton. Really enjoying it so far.

[Arjuna]

Phoenix Wright: Justice For All. Starting it today. :o

[Qeis]

sonic riders : zero gravity,,,

play it just for fun,,,letting your nerves out off your shoulders,,,

[Dave3]

Back to Etrian Odyssey and I'm also playing Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition.

[Logan]

Finished my 2nd playthrough on No More Heroes so I could collect everything. Well, I made it up to the last boss anyway. He has an insane amount of health on Bitter mode. I'm just not into spending 20-30+ minutes fighting him. I may go back to it later. Now I'm dedicating most of my time to Paper Mario before Apollo Justice comes out next week. Hope I can finish it before then.

[Yazarc]

I just came off of a Romancing SaGa marathon.

I recorded some of my progress (which includes late game events) if anyone is interested.

http://www.youtube.com/user/yazarc

[cj iwakura]

Wizardry: TotFL on PS2: stuck on B5, 'Waterfall'. Reached the bottom and it's flooded.

It's definitely harder than EO on the whole, but there's a lot more tactics to exploit(namely the Team Actions; Assist Shot + Front Line = nothing gets through).

Also bouncing between F.E.A.R. Extraction Point(almost done, final level) and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey on PC.

[Futomimi]

Hey, I just started Wizardry this weekend too. Weird.

[cj iwakura]

I'd really like to know more about who developed it. It's basically a much, much darker Etrian Odyssey.

The battle and labyrinth music isn't anything special, but some of the event and town music is beautiful(Guild especially).

[Sayckeone]

Racjin, imo.

[Kakizaki]

Racjin, imo.

That is correct.

[Kakizaki]

Contra 4.

[Saishu]

KOF XI. I didn't think it would be any good, but it's great >_>

[R315razor]

I'm playing Crysis... for the 3rd time. I am about 2/5 complete with the game for the 3rd time playing it. It is seriously THAT good of a game.

[Kid Marin]

Professor Layton.

[Sanctine]

Dragoneer's Aria.

Wow. I was never too fond of game storylines, but so far this is probably the worst I've ever heard. Hopefully it improves.

[Esoteric]

Zone of the Enders, just to see what all the hype was about. Got it for 5$ at GS, but I hear that seeing it for 5$ is common.

[Arjuna]

Get part 2 Eso, just watch the recap of part 1 on it.

[Sanctine]

1 is a short game. Just play it. It's worth playing.

[Arjuna]

God of War 2!

[Logan]

Finished up Paper Mario tonight. Right before Apollo Justice luckily so I'm still playing EO and Contra 4 to tide me over until it's release.

[banballow]

I was just now playing thru the first real Dungeon of Gouma Reifu Den Izuna Ni, and got my ass handed to me at the end by Alex Louis Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist. Good to see he's still able to get work after the show ended. :D

[Master Zombots]

I'm already a good bit into Dungeon Explorer. It's great and I've tried the Wi-Fi - it's pretty fun. The bank system is nice, but some of the other features are a bit lacking.

[banballow]

Apollo Justice...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/banballow/FullmetalIzuna.jpg

His body seems to turn into some sort of rock when you fight him (which seems to be a favored tool of Armstrong), and he even seems to do muscle poses for his special attacks.

[Gillian Seed]

PixelJunk Monsters demo tomorrow. I want to try it out, I hear good things. Its playable through remote play as well.

I may purchase Dynasty Warriors 6 tomorrow. Is it bad that I know I purchase terrible games? We all have that ####ty game we love.

[Arjuna]

God of War 2, soooooo epic. I have it hooked up on surround with progressive scan. Too bad it's only limited to 480p. Graphically it's easily on par with a first gen 360 game. I really can't even begin to fathom what SCE Studios Santa Monica will bring to the PS3..

Oh and starting Yggra Union tonight at work.

[EvilHero]

Lost Odyssey and Professor Layton.

Professor Layton is starting to really grow on me. I don't have much time in the day to play games, so this game is perfect for laying down and finishing a few puzzles before bed.

I finally stopped playing wow so im getting around to all the rpgs I have laying around. Playing Radiata Stories and Suikoden V right now.

[Gillian Seed]

Radiata Stories huh?

[EvilHero]

Radiata Stories huh?

lol.

[Master Zombots]

I'm still playing Dungeon Explorer; if any of you mates get it, we could attempt the pyramid in Wi-Fi.

[noloe4]

Radiata Stories huh?

I actually found this game rather charming and pretty fun. I only played through the Human side,but it was entertaining enough for me to eventually play through the non-human side as well.

[Arjuna]

I still need to play through the Human Side. Jack Russel FTW. Though he really needed more than one victory line after every single battle.

"All right!"

Played thru a bit more Izuna Ni today.

Izuna Ni Spoiler-ish Things Ahead

I can leave the first village now, with the option of heading either to the North, or the East.

I'm not leaving just yet though, as Mitsumoto and Shino-sis are now available for play (I can make teams now!). I want to see how they perform in game, so I'm gonna run thru the first Dungeon for a bit.

I'm currently testing Shino-sis, with her... Yo-yo? A bit of a ranged weapon, though you can use it up close as well. It actually works quite nicely.

First off, a brief bit about the Dungeons thus far. Instead of being on a floor with walls around you like the first game, the characters walk around on raised platforms.

Using the Yo-yo you can hit enemies on nearby platforms (I assume this will work with Shuriken and Kunai as well, anything that can be thrown more than likely). It also passes thru enemies, so if you can line them up... on a narrow platform for instance... you can strike multiple enemies at once (I assume this would cause the Yo-yo to wear out faster).

It's a nice little toy. :D

Sad fact: Shino-sis seems to be especially vulnerable to the enemy Ninjas that wander the Dungeons.

End Izuna Ni Spoiler-ish Things

[Sayckeone]

Wow. I can't read that. KUTGW

[EvilHero]

Whew, thank goodness you marked that for spoilers. I didn't want that ruined for me! :wink:

Lost Planet MP demo.

I like it, but the graphics are horrible. This is what the 360 can do? LAAAAAAWL

EDIT: NM I forgot that demos run at 480.

Yeah, I felt like an idiot once I realized that. At B6 now.

The story/NPC segments are by far the best part of this game.

Damn, now I wanna play some more Wizardry...
I still have a lot of literary criticism to read through though :?

Yeah, Royd is really bad as far as names go. I wonder why they decided to go that route with the translation.

I have met a girl name Toilletta though, so I guess there are worse names out there.

Played a #### load of King of Fighters XI and Street Fighter 3rd strike the other night.

All the talk about Etrian odyssey has made me want to pick it up again. I'm trying to get myself familiar with it again.

[Kid Marin]

Lost Odyssey.

I dowloaded Ape Quest Starter Pack (aka Ape Escape RPG) by curiosity. The free starter pack (you have to pay 20$ for the full game) features the prologue of the game : you can play a few turn-bases battles and mini-games (both random). I'm not familiar with the Ape Escape series, but i dig that regressive humor. http://media.cnetnetworks.fr/gamekult-com/images/images/forum/icones/icon85.gif

Beat Apollo Justice last Saturday so I went back to Contra 4. Beat it too...on easy. Haven't tried playing normal ever since stepping down to easy but I've been playing the Challenge mode now. Just finished 20(out of 40) challenges and unlocked Lucia as a playable character. I can tell that doing the challenges is improving my game but I still doubt I'll ever beat this Hard.

Lets see, DMC4 for PS3, I already beat it on normal, then easy, so Il probably beat it on hard eventually. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance because apparently Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn freezes if you try to transfer easy save data, so Iam beating the game again on normal and finally, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2.

[Kid Marin]

N+ and Lost Odyssey. LO's fourth disc has a lot of optional stuff, at last the game lets you explore a bit more.

[Kakizaki]

Nightmare of Druaga.

[Sanctine]

What do you think of it, Kaki? I never got far.

[Kakizaki]

I've tried to play it a few times. It is kind of okay. I like the music. I don't really like the graphic engine too much. The gameplay is standard Mysterious Dungeon -- it is probably a little more difficult than others, less forgiving.

[Flußkönig]

I have some vacation time coming up, so I decided to drag myself away from Culdcept Saga and play through Lost Odyssey.

[Arjuna]

Ok Parry is officially my favorite skill ever. I just killed the Stalker first try around LV10, Kaki and Saycke died. Me DTR and Sush did really well and made it through. I am kind of bummed you guys are so behind on EXP D: lol

Makes me wonder if I should retry since it was a pretty lame start.

[Sayckeone]

Don't retry FOEs respawn.

[Futomimi]

Get Immunize (Medic) and/or Defender (Protector) whenever it's convenient for you to do so. It helps a lot with characters with low defense or HP.

[Sayckeone]

Defender blows.

Al, dedicate all your Protector skill points to getting Apollon. Everything else is worthless.

[Futomimi]

Umm Survivalist gets Apollon, not Protector..
And Defender coupled with Immunize is pretty good. It's just ok on its own, but it's saved my ass a few times when my Medic was out of MP.

[Delition]

Lately I've been playing Final Fantasy 5 and Etrian Odyssey...still. Almost at level 50.

[Sayckeone]

Umm Survivalist gets Apollon, not Protector..

####, I'm thinking Smite. Get Smite, Al.

[Futomimi]

Oh. Smite is awesome too.

[Dave3]

I'm currently playing Yggdra Union and having a blast with it.
I'm also still playing Etrian Odyssey and still having a blast with that as well.
Al, I have the same main party as you class wise and it's served me well so far (B20F) Lvl 50ish.

[cj iwakura]

Multi Hit is also a great Survivalist skill, in between Apollon shots.

And Trickery(reduces enemy accuracy) is a lifesaver.

[Sayckeone]

No. In between Apollon shots you raise character stats.

[Shintai]

Oh yeah Ive also been playing alot of Golden Sun during Night School. Ive always had it but didnt really play much of it, Then I started getting really into it and Iam alreayd almost done with it. Iam kinda stuck on this side quest unfortunatly, but Il get past it.

[Hitoshura]

Trickery is for postgame. I'd say make that last priority. Smite is amazing, and so is Apollon. You can probably go without putting points in defender, as a maxed Immunize makes you nearly a brokenly unstoppable force. I'd say make Smite top priority.

[Kakizaki]

####, I'm thinking Smite. Get Smite, Al.

Ditto on smite. Forget about Defender. Just get Immunize.

[Gillian Seed]

LOST the (TERRIBLE) game

[Gillian Seed]

1000/1000 achievement points in about 5 hours of gameplay. Sloppy game, with bad glitches, ugly graphics, terrible voice acting for the fake people, generic story. It is fun to run around in the "universe", and it is short, so it MIGHT be worth playing through it if you want to experience all the LOST you can.

Also, got to love the lave bioshock like fuse puzzles.

[Dr. Chaos]

I kind of wanted to make MZ our Medic and put him in the front so he can die a lot but nah. Maybe later as a joke.. :lol: Lol.

[Logan]

Beat all 40 challenges in Contra 4 a few days ago. Right when I was feeling hardcore, I try taking on Normal and I just keep making careless mistakes, especially on the rocket in Stage 4 and Stage 7 in general. In otherwords, Fission Mailed, I got a Game Over in Stage 8. Taking a break from it now since it had been giving me some serious Tourettes. Oh, the vulgarity during this whole ordeal.

Been playing P3 here recently. Just got up to the top of Arqa(or whatever the 2nd block is called). I'm currently in mid-June, just waiting for the next full moon now.

[R315razor]

Tales of Symphonia

I never played it before, and I heard it was good... but never really put an effort into playing it. Then I got a Nintendo Power issue that had an article on the second one coming out for Wii, and liked it, so I decided to try this game out.

I busted out the GCN and am now in love with this game.

[Hitoshura]

Is it even necessary to ask?

Sekaiju no Meikyuu 2!

[The Liztress]

Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP and La Pucelle Tactics for PS2. Oh, and Rock Band for the PS3.

[s1mpleHUmar]

PC: Sins of a Solar Empire

Wii: Gate of Thunder (VC)

..and occasional 20 minute sessions with StarLancer -- DC style.

[Hitoshura]

Damn, EO2 is really hard from the getgo. There's an FOE on floor 1, and with the way they redesigned harvesting and the fact that there's not really a good easy-access chop point, it's already looking to have greatly increased the difficulty of the first one. I like this. Atlus USA PLEASE bring us this damn game already! Jeez. It's not like it's THAT text heavy.

[Futomimi]

Hito, have you gotten a chance to mess around with any of the new classes yet?

[Kakizaki]

That is why I am a bit hesitant to pick up the import right now. I've read even with experience, it can be a lot of brutal trial and error.

[Dead to Rights]

Tales of the Abyss - 7 hours in.

[Kakizaki]

And?

[Arjuna]

Good #### no DTR?

Played EO at work today. Kaki you are so behind on EXP.. gimp! :P

Still @ B3F just leveling up, making some money to get you guys better gear..

[Sayckeone]

Tales of the Abyss - 7 hours in.
If DTR says this is good. I'll play it.

[Kakizaki]

Played EO at work today. Kaki you are so behind on EXP.. gimp!


Do I keep dying or what?

[Arjuna]

Yeah I need to get you that move where attention isn't on you. Forgot it's name, but is it worth investing into?

[Kakizaki]

I never put any points into that skill on any of my survivalists. Honestly, I find them pretty tough. Do you have him in the back row using bows? I'm assuming yes.

[Futomimi]

I put one point into it, and it was pretty useless. Do not recommend.

[Arjuna]

Me and Saycke are kicking ass in the front and Sushi is being sandwiched by you and DTR. :P

[Sayckeone]

I put one point into it, and it was pretty useless. Do not recommend.
Everything is useless with one point.

[Futomimi]

It was still pretty early in the game, before I boosted his HP. Still useless in the first few floors.

[Hitoshura]

I put one point into it, and it was pretty useless. Do not recommend.
Everything is useless with one point.

Haha, not everything. Most of the HP/TP/DEF/ATK up type skills increase the stat by 10% with only one point in, as in, a consistent 10%, not just 10% of whatever the stat is at when you increase it. For example, if you have 700 base HP at level 70, even if you put your very first skill point into HP up, you'll have 770 total HP at level 70.

Also 'Mimi, I haven't messed around with the new classes just yet, trying to get a hang of things so I can start raking in the cash for good gear first. Can't believe there's a friggin FOE on floor 1, when already one of the normal enemies on floor 1 can one-shot any member of my party.

Kaki, if you can I'd get it, just in case we don't get it over here, it starts out pretty tough but there are already skill translations and Zaraf has maps of floors 1-5 up. Even if you don't play it right away, I'd expect some walkthroughs to be up in the coming weeks.

Oh, by the way, if you guys didn't know, they got rid of Immunize. :D

[banballow]

Likely to surprise nobody, I was back to playing Izuna Ni.

Took on the second Boss today (I guess he's a Boss... ), though it took me a while to find him (I know that old lady probably told me where he was, but she speaks squiggly line... an ancient incomprehensible language).

I've made a bit of a cheat sheet thru trial and error, as to which Pills and Talismans do what... makes things a bit easier.

[noloe4]

Tales of the Abyss - 7 hours in.

Me to. I'm 70 hours in and it's still a lot of fun. Probably could have beat the game by now,but I like doing side stuff and beatin up on baddies.

[Arjuna]

Played Tales of the Abyss for about up to 115 hours. If you can spot it, pick it up. Sure the story isn't anything to go crazy over but the battle system and side things like Namco Island are real cool.

[DarkShear]

Last night I played the American Idol karaoke game with a big group of people over at my house. Some girl brought it over with two microphones, it was pretty fun for a few hours to hear everyone sing while drunk with the game judging everyones performance.

[Kid Marin]

Patapon - Damned rain dance formula ! I just can't find the good beat to input it. :x

[dragonlife29]

I beat Apollo Justice around 2 in the morning. Epic final case. I loved it. Now I feel like playing TaT again...

How is it anyway? I'm thinking of getting it after I finish playing my current game. Izuna was fun but flawed, so I'm hoping the sequel fixes a lot of those problems.

[Arjuna]

EO @ B5F. I cleared all of the goddamn Wolves before fighting Fenrir and I was leaving to go heal up by the Hexer girl and he ambushed me and killed everyone since we were all fairly weak. That really just.. made me rage. I think I have had enough for tonight lol.

When I was getting through EO I had a couple of "shutting my DS very strongly" after dying like that.

[Sayckeone]

I almost smashed my DS against the wall last night after playing Prof. Layton. I'm at this puzzle where I have to find a star in this mess of shapes and trace its outline. Finding the star was easy, tracing it when you have to be precise and your hand is not steady enough is impossible.

I'm done with this game and it's "puzzles."

I'm still stuck at the Weekly Puzzle #3, the one with the nine. o.o

[Kid Marin]

I'm still stuck at the Weekly Puzzle #3, the one with the nine. o.o
Really ? I found weekly puzzles #2 and #3 pretty easy.

[RayFoxSith]

Please PM me the answer. I'm gonna rip my hair out if I can't figure this out soon enough.

[Sayckeone]

I'm gonna do #3 right now, and it's it's not obnoxiously hard, no homo, I'm going to ban you from Arlus.

[Futomimi]

GOOD THING IT WASN'T HARD!

I MEAN THIS PUZZLE, NOT MY DICK!

[Sayckeone]

Ray... C'mon, dude...

Also, I think it's cute that Mimi still thinks she funny, even though no one ever LOLs are her jokes. Not really, but whatever.

[RayFoxSith]

I laughed so hard, I think everyone in my neighborhood heard me.

[Futomimi]

:(

That's it. I'm never representing Atlus best at #atlususa ever again.

[Sayckeone]

WIN! :D

Just playin', Mimi. =p

[RayFoxSith]

####ing, I feel like an idiot now....

[Futomimi]

:P

God of War 2.

[Gillian Seed]

I just beat Mass Effect. Kid, did you ever finish it?

[Kid Marin]

I just beat Mass Effect. Kid, did you ever finish it?
Not even started it. I'm taking a small break from RPG after Lost Odyssey.

http://media.cnetnetworks.fr/gamekult-com/images/photos/00/00/92/37/ME0000923776_1.jpg

I played to the Echochrome demo (PSP) from the japanese Playstation Store. Just by looking at the screenshots, i didn't have a clue how it would work. Interesting puzzler, and a super import-friendly game.

[Gillian Seed]

i was just about to post that the JPN store has a PSP/PS3 demo of echochrome. Ive been looking forward to it for a long time. Cant wait to try it.

[VapourTrail90]

Still working mostly on EO2, but I picked up Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer today as well. Only played it for an hour or so, but it seems like it'll be a lot of fun.

[RayFoxSith]

Echochrome looks awesome. They better bring it over here soon.

[QBasic]

Devil May Cry 4, and No More Heroes.

DMC4 was surprising for me, in the fact how utterly lacking it was compared to 3...:<

NMH was surprising for me...in the fact how utterly awesome, badass, creative, and off-the wall it was...

[sdragon21]

The games that are taking up my time are Disgaea 2 and Growlanser Generations, and i'll probably be spending most of my time on Mana Khemia when it comes out.

[Arjuna]

Finally beat that SOB Fenrir. 2nd Stratum is beautiful. I honestly thought each Stratum would be the exact same looking.

Also question. How in the HELL is this game only 16MB's? that's.. insane. Since it has different 3D maps, your saved maps with markers/text, weapons, monsters, character data. I really don't believe it's this big.. it blows my mind.

[DarkShear]

2nd Stratum is beautiful.

Agreed. Wonderfully done on the DS.

[Gillian Seed]

SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL!!

[RayFoxSith]

I think I'm gonna try beating HL2 Episode 2 tomorrow. I've been dying to play Odin Sphere again, but my friend has my copy. >.<

[SickleCellAnemia]

On the final case of Apollo Justice, and stuck on an tile puzzle in Professor Layton(cannot figure it out for the life of me). Trying to also power through Persona 3 before FES comes out.

[Sayckeone]

stuck on an tile puzzle in Professor Layton(cannot figure it out for the life of me).
Which one?

[s1mpleHUmar]

The only thing I've been playing with is a cadaver. Her name is Ethel.

[Esoteric]

SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL!!

wut

[SickleCellAnemia]

stuck on an tile puzzle in Professor Layton(cannot figure it out for the life of me).
Which one?

It's Puzzle 76, where you have to make a square with as few 10x12 tiles as you can.

[Kid Marin]

Now that i have a brand new laptop, i can at last start S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I dig the Fallout vibes.

Ahh, yeah, I'm on that one, but have yet to complete it.

[Olethros]

Playing Nobunaga's Ambition and going to be starting Anno 1701 on the DS.

[RayFoxSith]

Olethros: While your avatar is a tad big, may I ask where it's from?

[Inzaghi]

It's Destruction from the Sandman.

[Sayckeone]

It's not wide, so it'as no big deal.

[Olethros]

Inzaghi is correct; He's the prodigal sibling of the endless.

If the avatar is too big, I can change it; no biggie. Maybe I'll use the same one I chose for Arlus...I kinda like that one better anyway.

[RayFoxSith]

Finally beat HL2 Episode 2. Episode 3 better come soon.

[RayFoxSith]

#### it.
I'm back to Vagrant Story. I'm gonna try beating it before/by next Friday (the 14th).

[Arjuna]

Super Smash Bros Brawl! We went to the midnight opening, stuffy as #### in there with a bunch of people breathing and ugh..

Entered the tournament, and failed horribly because we were using the ####ty Wii motes, and I had the misfortune of getting randomly picked up with King Dedede. It was fun either way though, met some dude who loved the PW series talked about it, and also saw a childhood friend there. Glad I went overall, good ####.

Currently playing SSBB with some friends unlocking characters, we got Ness, Marth and Snake so far. I have to be up for work by 8AM... :cry:

[Shintai]

I just finished beating Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on normal, that way it wont freeze up when I play Radiant Dawn. Since I lent it to a friend, Iam gonna have to wait till hes done with it, so in the meantime Iam playing Devil May Cry 4 a 3rd time, and Iam also playing Radiata Stories. Also, I might start playing Folklore again, I havent since my dad has been playing it, but hes gotten alot farther than me.

[EvilHero]

Like Al, went to the SSBB tourney.

Most of my friends and I got paired against each other, so we didn't get to play any new people. Lost against a friend of mine in the first round, fight went to sudden death, me playing Lucas, I wasn't too comfortable with him and I got tagged.

We got back and unlocked all the characters after about 2 hours, played it for the rest of the night. Did some wifi today, fun stuff.

[Arjuna]

Me and my buddies were laughing so hard because the runner-up was talking big about how he won previous Smash Tournies and lost miserably to the guy who won. Not that winning on a completely random basis is something to boast about, still lol'd.

[Dave3]

Front Mission DS. I'm only on the 4th mission and it's already awesome.

[Olethros]

Front Mission DS was quite good; and actually gave me a bit of a challenge for a change which I really enjoyed.

[Arjuna]

3rd Stratum. B11F..

The so called "King of the Jungle" was a pushover.

Also Metroid Prime Hunters.. Holy crap didn't think this game would actually be any good. The controls leave you a bit stiff though, you can't be laying down and relaxing while playing this which is a bummer.

[Kid Marin]

I beat DMC4 (human mode). http://media.cnetnetworks.fr/gamekult-com/images/images/forum/icones/icon102.gif

[RayFoxSith]

I think I'm getting a hang of the weapon customization in VS.

[Sayckeone]

I beat DMC4 (human mode). http://media.cnetnetworks.fr/gamekult-com/images/images/forum/icones/icon102.gif
lol I didn't even bother with that mode.

[massaker]

Enjoy Vagrant Story Rayfox, some of us can't because they lost their copy :(
I've got the case...with no cd in it lol.

Picked that up purely by accident when I was a newb gamer just from the pretty pictures on the cover lol.

I got it a few months back for $40 at my local importer/game store. I shelved it at the troll boss because I wasn't doing good, but now I might actually get to the end this time.
Shame on anyone who 'loses' their copy.

[Yazarc]

I just downloaded DoReMi Fantasy (the sequel to Milon's Secret Castle) from the virtual console. This is an excellent platformer. I'm having lots of fun with it.

[Shintai]

I beat DMC4 (human mode). http://media.cnetnetworks.fr/gamekult-com/images/images/forum/icones/icon102.gifDude, besides DMC2, this was the easiest of the DMC games, seriously, wtf? THeres no need to play on human unless its your first DMC game. :p

[Futomimi]

Started the original Phantasy Star last night.

[RayFoxSith]

Gonna hit up EO. Never got too far into it, but that's gonna change.

[Saishu]

I bought Odin Sphere and it's really pretty.

Gameplay is repetitive, but at least it looks nice :) Nostalgia trip.

[s1mpleHUmar]

A good dose of Rock Band + a pinch of Archon.

[DMAN2501]

I just finished my up-teenth playthrough of noctune.
Then I started playing FFX for no good reason. Though I do have that sega genesis collections thing. Futomimi just gave me the idea to go play the Phantasy star series for a while.
Had them all on genesis, but my system hasen't worked in the past 10 years.
That or CoD4 since I finally got this computer running again and now I have to start back from lvl.1 when I just got it maxed :lol:

[Kakizaki]

Getting my ass kicked by Shiren.

[Flußkönig]

Finished up Lost Odyssey.

I played through a few maps of Ogre Battle: MotBQ. I am thinking about starting a Suikoden I - V marathon tomorrow.

[Kid Marin]

Dude, besides DMC2, this was the easiest of the DMC games, seriously, wtf? THeres no need to play on human unless its your first DMC game. :p
It is my first DMC. :wink: And i wanted that human mode only achievements.

[DarkShear]

Playing Quakeworld and DOTA (war3 mod). Going to PC game it for awhile as I just had cable internet installed so online gaming is fun again (craptastic on satellite connection).

[Kid Marin]

I just downloaded DoReMi Fantasy (the sequel to Milon's Secret Castle) from the virtual console. This is an excellent platformer. I'm having lots of fun with it.
I'm curious about DoReMi Fantasy. Yazarc, is it a wide scope platefomer like Super Mario World with a world map and a fair share of levels ?

[Yazarc]

It does have a world map and a fair share of exploration within the levels, but it doesn't have the scope of Super Mario World.

I can say that anybody who enjoys Mario would probably enjoy it very much once they look beyond the cute factor. One interesting thing about it is that not a stitch of it has been translated but the operating instructions are in English so it's easy to figure out what to do and there's not a lot of dialog at all.
