What are you currently playing?

Playing MGS4.. not very far in to it at all.

[Logan]

I did finally go back to FFXII and finish the sidequests I had left to do and got the final clan rank. A couple weeks ago, I started Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter over from scratch and finally got a 1/4 D-Ratio on my second playthrough(I had been wanting to do that for years). Started Dragon Warrior VII over(lost/erased my old save file apparently) about a week ago and I just finished the Deja tribe quest. I don't think I had ever finished DW7 and I suppose it's just as well that I lost my save file because I barely remember anything story-wise. Now of course, it's mostly MGS4 and GTA4(picked that up last night).

[Kakizaki]

finally got a 1/4 D-Ratio on my second playthrough

Wow, that is pretty cool.

[Logan]

^I should mention that I abused the hell out of SOL Restore at the end of my first playthrough against one of the last bosses to farm Party XP so I could get everyone to Level 50 in the main game and start Kokon Hooray at Level 30 for BOTH playthroughs. Took 50 restores and after that the only thing you have to worry about is getting the extra turn most of time and your play time on the next playthrough.

[Raithgar]

played a few hours of Ninja Gaiden 2, then switched to MGS4.. how I love it when the game looks at how long you played and asks "Shouldnt you take a break now?"

[Dual]

I'm playing the can't sleep game it's pretty awful I wouldn't recommend it

[DamnedToBeFree]

I'm playing the can't sleep game it's pretty awful I wouldn't recommend it

thats when I pop in a good audio book.. within a half hour I'm out like a light. Although falling asleep listening to World War Z may not be the best choice

Playing MGS4.. not very far in to it at all.

The movie part or the game part?

[Sayckeone]

I'm about half an hour into MGS4 and I've played maybe five minutes of that. I understand Kojima originally wanted to get into film, but he's not ####ing in film, god damn it. Once I actually got to control Snake without a cutscene every ten steps, I lost interest and shut my Triple off to play DQIII. And what's with these lame ass live action bits scattered all over the place? They're out of place and really detract from the game itself. Also, Otacon needs to STFU and stop telling me what to do every five seconds. I've played video games before; I can figure this #### out myself. Srsly. I never liked him.

The movie part or the game part?
lol Word.

[DamageCity]

Finished:

Crisis Core
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy Tactics

this morning, I had been putting them off for a while.

The first part of the game is pretty heavy into the cut scenes, then you get into a gameplay groove. The Mission Briefings in between acts are also all pretty long, but once you get going it gets better... until the end, which then is again heavy.

[Zephyr]

I'm killing a lot of Treefrogs.

I sucked it up and committed to retiring my Etrian Odyssey party and re-raising them to level 70. It's a pain, but the Claret Hollows and side quests should go a lot more smoothly after this.

One character for my main party to go: my alchemist. I'll probably finish the Dark Hunter afterwards and ignore the Hexer and Ronin, though. I love the game, but seriously, at this point I just want to be done with it.

[Sayckeone]

On to Act 2.

Still disappointed that there's no Bond style theme song.

[RayFoxSith]

IMO, a Bond theme song wouldn't fit.

[Hitoshura]

Finishsed MGS4, back to SMT2. No way I can finish it before EO2 though. Just got to Roppongi.

[Gillian Seed]

we got EO2 in yesterday.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Started playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

It's alright.

[Kitsunexus]

Jeanne D'Arc for PSP. I need to stop buying games if the box looks cool, because they turn out to be boring tactical RPGs.

[Sayckeone]

Act 3.

[Raithgar]

Just finished MGS4, downloading updates for online.

Now I just need to finish off Ninja Gaiden 2 before Operation Darkness comes out.

[System_Error]

Act 2.

[CSXLoser]

finished MGS4 about 5 hrs ago. Amazing boss fights in the last two acts/parts.

and LMAO at *spoilers*



Physco Mantis cameo appearance...

[System_Error]

just beat Alexei on NG2.

[Sayckeone]

Act 4.

[Kid Marin]

I'm done with Wario Land Advance. Nice blend of platforms and puzzles, visuals are still good looking.
Too bad the game is really short (~18 levels), i would like to see a Wario Land title as long as a regular Super Mario.

[System_Error]

I really want Wario Land Shake...

[V0LK0V]

P3FES The Answer
Nocturne (Again)
Mass Effect

And soon, Requiem.

[Hitoshura]

I swear to god if I kill any more Mesians in this ####ing game... I want my neutral alignment already! I've long since maxed out my Magnetite and am well on my way to maxing out my Macca. Stupid SMT2 giving you such a MASSIVE Law alignment in the beginning of the game.

[PFV]

^You can avoid that if you name the characters yourself. Even if you just manually type in the default names.

[Hitoshura]

^Whoa what. Naming the main character yourself somehow makes you neutral?

[PFV]

^When the characters are introduced, your given a choice to name all the characters yourself. If you refuse to, and the scientist gives them their default names, you'll push yourself towards Law. If you manually name each character, your alignment doesn't shift.

[Hitoshura]

Hmm... well I manually named everyone else aside from Aleph, so I guess maybe I've just killed too many Chaos-oriented enemies, but I have literally been slaughtering Mesians in the prison for about three hours now with no alignment shift.

Slight spoilers:

I didn't pay Puck for the Infidelilly Sap, but I didn't make him pay me either. I wasn't even thinking that it would affect alignment, but I'm going to guess that that gives you a pretty good shift considering how long I've been killing these damn Mesians.

And I just hit 700k Macca. Wow.

[Sayckeone]

Face it, Hito. You're one of the bad guys. No amount of Mesian killings will change that.

[Hitoshura]

:(

but i wanna use my cool neutral only sword :(

and i don't want anything to do with those center assholes :(

[RayFoxSith]

Finsihed act 2 and managed to see the mission briefing for act 3. A-####ing-mazing. Gonna get to play more Wednesday.

EDIT: That Laughing Octopus battle made my nerves tense.

[Sayckeone]

Act 5.

[Chronis]

Act 2. :( I'm so behind everyone!!

[Dead to Rights]

Started a second play through for MGS4 with some ballin' MGO on the side.

[Sayckeone]

^I might do the same on the hardest difficulty.

[RayFoxSith]

EOII. My official party is:
Protector, landsknecht, war magus, gunner (I named him Inzaghi, like I said) and an alchemist.

[Constraint]

^ LOL I smell emulation.

I am now playing Chaos Wars.

[RayFoxSith]

^LOL, wut?

[Sei]

There are functional DS emulators?

[PFV]

^Yes.

[Futomimi]

^ LOL I smell emulation.

I am now playing Chaos Wars.

Why would he emulated EOII? It came out today officially, and other people have been getting theirs as early as Saturday.

[Chronis]

Act 3...

[Kitsunexus]

I'm hopefully at the last army-base stealth sequence in Indigo Prophecy. I'm trying to get into Jeanne D'Arc, but it doesn't seem that fun.


Malice isn't that great. I honestly haven't played Odin Sphere beyond when I first got it, I've been too distracted. :(

[RayFoxSith]

^ LOL I smell emulation.

I am now playing Chaos Wars.

Why would he emulated EOII? It came out today officially, and other people have been getting theirs as early as Saturday.

That and I have no experience with those kind of things.

So GTFO with your absurd accusations. :arrow:

[Yazarc]

Shiren, EO2, and I got back into Wild Arms 5. I had a nice break from RPGs for a bit, but ended after GTA4. I really needed a break too. I haven't been making a lot of time for console gaming lately.

[Futomimi]

You have 24 hours to prove that you bought the game, Ray. :P

[Dual]

Finished MGS4, now downloading ####loads of demos and about to start Resistance. Kind of wary about getting Folklore now since it has like 42 bucks worth of DLC.

Also, holy crap, most PS1 games are only 6 bucks (by most I mean all excluding SotN, which is still a #### collection compared to Japan's PSN)? I was expecting them to be 12 or so since the Virtual Console overprices #### like mad and Xbox Originals are 15 bucks. Wild ARMS for 6 bucks is like stealing. Oh well, I'm totally all over it. Probably going to start playing it again soon, too.

[Flußkönig]

The World Ends With You. I am on the second week and digging it so far.

The graphics are the best I have seen in a DS game and the sprite work is amazing. lol at the character design though, I guess I am just not urban/japanese/whatever enough to appreciate it. I am not really feeling the music either, some tracks are okay but most of them really aren't my style.

I just signed up for a month of gamefly + 400ms points for 5.95. They are shipping Mana Khemia out to me now. Hopefully I can beat it in the next month.

[Kid Marin]

The World Ends With You.
I bought it for my little sister's birthday, she is way more open-minded about that kind of japanese fashion than me.

[EvilHero]

Switching between MGS4, Ninja Gaiden 2 and SMT1.

[RayFoxSith]

You have 24 hours to prove that you bought the game, Ray. :P

Hell yeah. You are in for a treat my friend.

Holy crap. I even did an event that pushed me towards chaos and I'm STILL Law. What the ####?

[Constraint]

Shiren, EO2, and I got back into Wild Arms 5. I had a nice break from RPGs for a bit, but ended after GTA4. I really needed a break too. I haven't been making a lot of time for console gaming lately.

I can't find Wild arms 5 anywhere.
Glad I have Wild Arms 4 though.

[Riku Xander]

The MGS essential collection + MGS4. I'm also playing the (imaginary) Let's Study For Exams Game. :(

[Hitoshura]

Good god.

Okay, for one, I mugged the Stalker to get Masakado's head back, AND I just destroyed the computer for Arcadia.

AND I AM STILL LAW.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?!

[Kitsunexus]

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?!

Ingest the souls of innocent children, if you are allowed that option by the game.



I decided to devote more time to Odin Sphere.

Edit: Bah. Was a pretty easy fight. I was expecting to get my ass handed to me.

Double Edit: #### YES I AM FINALLY NEUTRAL GODDAMN

[PFV]

LOL, what finally pushed you back over?

[Gillian Seed]

No kills through ACT 1... keep on truckin'!

[Shamanic Enzan]

Megaman Battle Network 6: Gregar
Megaman ZX
Megaman Star Force: Leo
Megaman Battle Network Transmission
Sin and Punishment.

..the Enzan in my name had to come from somewhere!

[Foryth]

Finaly completed my item compendium in EO and just started on EO2! :D I'm still messing around creating characters and trying to decide what party I'll use.

I should probably continue my Dragon Force game, I've got over half of the continent conquered as Junon. This game rocks. (Despite having a few bugs on emu, I'm seriously considering getting a Saturn for this game.)

I'm also probably gonna try out Temple of Elemental Evil later today, I've been craving for a little D&D lately, but my friends and I haven't been able to play for a while. I still haven't progressed in Wizardry 8 though, since I was too busy with EO and kinda lost interest.

[Hitoshura]

LOL, what finally pushed you back over?

Haha, I'm not sure. Recently I told both Zain and Lucifer to #### off, and shortly after that I went into a Gaia temple to heal and didn't have to pay the 1000. Checked my inventory, and sure enough, I could equip that awesome neutral only sword. Perhaps since aligning yourself with either of the above choices shifts you to permanent Law/Evil, saying no to both makes you permanent Neutral?

[Kakizaki]

Despite having a few bugs on emu, I'm seriously considering getting a Saturn for this game.

You probabaly should. They are dirt cheap and there are quite a few good to great games -- especially if you are willing to import.

[Foryth]

I'll probably try to get one next month, since I'm kinda broke for the rest of the month. Most auctions for Dragon Force are actualy more expensive than the Saturn itself. :lol:

[PFV]

Perhaps since aligning yourself with either of the above choices shifts you to permanent Law/Evil, saying no to both makes you permanent Neutral?

Yeah, barring any odd glitches, you shouldn't have to worry about changing again. I don't think the alignment code had any problems like SMT1, where, in the final dungeon, my alignment shifted after I cleared half of it, and I got locked out of the other half.

[Hitoshura]

^ Aww, that sucks. What alignment did you end up?

[Kakizaki]

EO II.....at work.

[Olethros]

^ I STILL don't have mine. Should be in my mailbox today, though.

[PFV]

^ Aww, that sucks. What alignment did you end up?
I rolled from Neutral (no other way to play, imo) to Law. I'm sure you can figure out how. Though, I'm surprised the boss fights in the final dungeon would even have alignment code attached to them. Pissed me off when I went back to the entrance and I couldn't access either section.

I ended up using a code to lock me as neutral, but some things were already jacked (lost the ability to get the heroine's fusion sword).

[Hitoshura]

Oh, okay, you were still at least able to beat the game at least. I was already leaning towards Law so I did the Law side first IIRC.

Also stupid Lucifer, trying to get you killed by Beelzebub. Waste of time. D:<

[Sayckeone]

Hito, you spoiler color it terrible. It's easily read and draws attention.

[Hitoshura]

Eh? Huh, looks allright on my monitor. What color should I use whenever I have that grayish background?

also GODDAMIT JUST GIVE US SPOILER TAGS ALREADY, goddamn

[Logan]

I think the worst part of that particular font is that it reminds me of LuminousFeary or whatever that bitch's name was...

[Hitoshura]

Finished SMT2, AMAZING game.

Now probably going to work on EO2.

[Kitsunexus]

Jeanne D'Arc is absolutely AMAZING when you get into it, and (for reasons I'll get into in another post, not enough room here) better IMO than R-Type Command. We had a power outage for 6 hours last night, and thus, I'm now a bit further than I was. I also need to finish up Rogue Galaxy, but that comes later.

[Sei]

Still MGS 4, like the controls better. Returned Eye of Judgment, Really like the Battlefield demo.

Did some more Lair. It's not bad, but.. meh..

Also, Mobile Suit Gundam Crossfire. The frame rate is terrible, and more coulda gone into the presentation, the enviroments are also sort of bland, but there is a nice variety of mobile suits, and they are fairly customizable within reasonable margins. They also more and behave pretty faithfully to the show and the game is lots of fun when you get into it.

I think a lot of bashing towards it comes from reviewers expecting Armored Core. Id say that its a fine discount game if into Gundam's UC at all. It's really not bad for a launch game, I'd give it a 7.

[Kitsunexus]

Also, Mobile Suit Gundam Crossfire.

Which Gundam is it based off of?

[Sei]

^ Kidou Senshi Gundam, the first one. It ocurs during the late stages of the one year war, around when the federation rolls out the GM's.

[Kitsunexus]

^ Kidou Senshi Gundam, the first one. It ocurs during the late stages of the one year war, around when the federation rolls out the GM's.

Meh. If it's not G Gundam or Gundam Wing, I'm not interested.

Although the first Gundam IS the "WE'RE JUMPING ONTO WHITE BASE" thing...

[Kakizaki]

If it's not G Gundam or Gundam Wing, I'm not interested.

Why am I not surprised.

[Kitsunexus]

Why am I not surprised.

Because those are the best. ^-^

I kind of liked G Gundam cause most of the Gundams seemed like they were designed around the first thing they thought of for that country "Holland? WINDMILLS!", but Gundam Wing? Seriously? I guess it was acceptable if you turned it off every time Hiro came on the screen, but ugh. 08th MS Team still stands out as the only one I ever really liked.

[Saishu]

Playing Super Mario Advance 4. Gotta get used to playing my DS.

[Hitoshura]

Hey, G Gundam was awesome. I love the Mobile Tray system or whatever it was. Also, Rain.

[Sei]

Mobile Trace. It's fun, it's an interesting break from the usual. Rain looks hot in her Trace suit. Doujin time.

[Chronis]

I liked Gundam 0080 a lot. Too bad it was only a handful of episodes.

Anyway, finished Act 3, starting Act 4. I hated Act 3, BTW.

[Sei]

One of my favories too. The ending is powerfull.

[Sayckeone]

I liked Gundam 0080 a lot. Too bad it was only a handful of episodes.

Really? I liked Act 3. I felt like Snake was a Cold War spy in Eastern Europe. I dig that kind of stuff. Plus, the sequence after that was awesome.

[Chronis]

^^The only playable sequence after that was awesome. And the final cutscene. But everything in between was had me losing interest.

[Sayckeone]

I can see why someone wouldn't like that act. The first part can be boring, and the boss battle is a pain, but I still enjoyed it.

Apparently, a lot of people didn't like Act 3.

[Chronis]

Oh yeah, I forgot the boss battle was a part of that... I didn't mind the boss much. The setting was pretty cool but it just didn't seem Metal Gear-y. Reminded me of Van Helsing.

[RayFoxSith]

Act 3 was awesome. Loved the ####ing bike chase.

Anyway, played some Yakuza and I'm already sold on it.

[RayFoxSith]

Chapter 4 in Yakuza.

[Chronis]

With everyone talking about Yakuza, I wish I had some money so I could get it...

And by everyone, I mean 1 person whose post isn't missing....

[Sei]

Prolly picking up Yakuza today to join in the fun, Mobile Suit Gundam Zeonic Front (Awesome game), MGS 3 Subsistence, MG 2 Solid Snake, finished WEWY, prolly picking up Rtype tactics again, got sidetracked in the last mission. Also, Rtype Delta.

Really liked WEWY ending and it has one of the better post games ive seen. Prolly the best DS game ive played objectively speaking.

Also, Ace combat 0. And FES. Need to start playing games one at a time.

[System_Error]

all my posts about Yakuza are gone WTF >_<


Edit: Like 40 of my posts were deleted....

[RayFoxSith]

Chapter 4 in Yakuza. WTF does this darn puppy eat?

Also got to the second Stratum in EOII. Loving the scenery.

[Futomimi]

I need to level up my secondary party quicker so that I can go to the second stratum.

Still plugging away at EO1. 7 items left to collect.

[Chronis]

I played some No More Heroes today. Besides it's low charge attack, I hate the Tsubaki Mk3.

[Thunder-Slash]

Playing StarCraft online nightly.

[massaker]

Still GTA IV, frekin hell I like that game. Rockstar are made of as much win as Atlus, but in an actiony un-RPG kinda way. :D

[Zephyr]

I played some No More Heroes today. Besides it's low charge attack, I hate the Tsubaki Mk3.

Which is pretty much mandatory for finishing the Free Fight missions. Man, that move is sweet.

[Chronis]

And it's mandatory for fighting that guy at the end. You don't even know how pissed I was when I had the Mk3 instead of the Mk2 in that fight. And I didn't have the energy saver so I had to charge it like every attack...

[Raithgar]

Currently plugging away at Operation Darkness.. about 10 or 12 missions into it so far.

[Saishu]

Started playing Valkyrie Profile 2 again. I don't like rushing through enemies that beat you up as you try to kill the leader. They should have kept the battle system the same since you sidescroll anyway.

But yeah... It's weird seeing characters from the first game show up when the story is set 100 years in the past?

Edit: Nevermind, the booklet says that Silmeria's getting into trouble was hundreds of years in the past.

[Flußkönig]

^It is not weird at all considering the character appeared in the past (when VP2 takes place) in VP. But VP2 does take place before VP.

VP made it sound like certain characters (well one in particular) can't go to Valhalla so they just keep on reincarnating.

[Superkenon]

Making my way through Etrian Odyssey 2, slowly but surely.

[Saishu]

I thought that was strange too, how right from the beginning it showed that Silmeria can release Einherjar and bring them back to life?

Everything I thought I knew about from the first game got turned upside down.

[Arjuna]

Do you guys seriously not remember what Brahms said in the castle when he saw Arngrim? He asked him if he actually didn't remember him.

[Saishu]

I thought that was because of how he was with Hrist in Dipan's past. I'm guessing part 2 will explain why he and Lawfer were with Hrist.

[Flußkönig]

Do you guys seriously not remember what Brahms said in the castle when he saw Arngrim? He asked him if he actually didn't remember him.

Yeah, but I was never sure if that was meant to refer to VP2 or something that could have happened before the events of VP2. Especially considering that [spoiler] the story in VP2 ends up playing out a little differently from what we see in VP. I remember something in the game mentioning that Hrist fought the undead and Brahms during her time as the active Valkyrie, but I am a little hazy on the details at this point.

[Master Zombots]

I've started Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. After I finish it, I will start on the sequel. :)

[Dual]

^ One of the few tactics games I ever completed, it only fueled my dislike for them after I finished it. The story for that game was so profoundly idiotic and the difficulty jump on the last tier of bosses was infuriating. Bleh.

[Sayckeone]

Dual, FFTA is not a very good example of the genre.

[Sei]

FFT on the other hand...

[RayFoxSith]

Put Tactics Ogre on your radar, Dual.

You just ain't got the skills.

[Dual]

I might give tactics games a shot again some time, but I have issues with patience that frequently make me bored as hell while playing them. Same story with RTS's. I can usually enjoy most jRPGs without too much effort, though.

^ One of the few tactics games I ever completed, it only fueled my dislike for them after I finished it. The story for that game was so profoundly idiotic and the difficulty jump on the last tier of bosses was infuriating. Bleh.

You just ain't got the skills.

The rest of the game was easy, as in all of it, it was just weird how much it jumped then. The main reason I complain is because (I think) the 2nd boss in that tier of final boss fights had an attack that instantly killed some of the members I had, and I couldn't revive them as quickly as they were dropping. I ended up abusing the game's quick-save feature (which I had only found out about after complaining about this boss to a friend) and reloading every other time he/she/it did that attack. There was nothing "tactical" about that fight, the only other answer was just to grind until they could resist it, and I wasn't about to waste 2-4 hours doing that just so I could finish that chore of a game.

[Kakizaki]

Ditto on that.

I'm guessing you didn't use any of the Totema/Espers? They make the last battles a whole lot easier.

And I guess I'm one of the few people who actually liked FFTA. It is better than FFTA2.

Though, obviously, the original FFT blows both of them away. If I had a PSP, I'd definitely pick up "War of The Lions".

[Dual]

I'm guessing you didn't use any of the Totema/Espers? They make the last battles a whole lot easier.

I don't even remember what those were lol.

[DamnedToBeFree]

You probably don't remember(or care) but you obtained them after the Boss Battles that occurred inside the inter-dimensional rifts. You kill the Crystal Guardians, and pretty much receive their powers.

Basically, they're over-the-top summon attacks, and there was a different one assigned to each race, and after obtaining 10 JP, you could unleash the Esper. The attacks were pretty impressive.

[Dual]

I feel like I kind of remember them, but I more accurately remember summon attacks I got from Djinn in Golden Sun (and Golden Sun 2), which I was playing around the same time.

[Dual]

Decided to finally play Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth today. While still not nearly as good as some of the others, i.e. the TG16 ones, it wasn't nearly as bad as shmups.com's placeholder "avoid like the plague" statement where a review would be would lead you to believe. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't awful and was actually kind of fun, yet still disappointed, despite knowing how bad it might be, that it didn't really live up to some of the others. Beat it twice to get the good ending and bad ending and will likely play it again, I wouldn't have been disappointed to have paid twice the price for it.

[Yazarc]

I had nothing to do yesterday so in light of all the recent Mega Man talk, I pulled out the anniversary collection and played through the first 3 games in the series. I'm working through X3 today.

[Sayckeone]

Etrian Odyssey. Finally beat the boss of the 5th stratum. Trickery is the ####, imo. Survivalists are awesome.

[Voodoo]

Still making my way through Front Mission DS. I really love these games.

[Sei]

MGS 3. Beat The pain!.

[massaker]

MGS3 is kickass. I have to finish that when I get around to it, got stuck on this impenetrable fortress bit.

Just finished GTA IV. Playing Resident Evil 4 now, just got out of the village into the big castle, its spooky.

[Foryth]

Been playing Yakuza all day. This game is pretty good. :)

I recently started on EO2's second stratum. I just replaced my Landsnecht with a Beast and am trying to level it up.

I also started Castlevania : Lament of Innocence. Nothing amazing, but still not bad so far. I'm also trying to beat Super Castlevania IV on the side, I really sucked at that game when I was a kid.

[Yazarc]

Boomerang everything.....You'll demolish every boss in the game with that tactic.

Yeah that's what I do, all the bosses have been very easy so far. I actualy have more trouble getting to the bosses than beating them. But I'm getting better. :)

Back to playing War of the Lions. I want to move on to Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth soon.

[DamageCity]

EOII

Wow, this is gonna be a long game.

[Chronis]

I beat MGS4 last night/this morning. Today I played a bit of MGS: VR Missions.

I love the mission with Johnny on that one.

OMG I realized that there's no VR or extra missions in MGS4... VR would have been great with this system.

[RayFoxSith]

Playing Eternal Sonata. The first two bosses were challenging, but I feel I have a firmer grasp on the whole system.

[Constraint]

^Eternal Sonata was an awesome experience.Too bad the story is bland.

I just beat Cornelius' Book in Odin Sphere.Titania was such a bitch.(etc.Slimes,wizards,even in easy mode.)

[CSXLoser]

finally got myself to update my firmware for PS3 and start MGO

I made an awesome choice 8)

Im not that good but i always try to do teamwork and guard my buddies' back. though im getting pissed that my own teammates cqc me when THE ROUND ISNT OVER YET!!!

[Saishu]

Metal Gear Solid 4 is now OVAH. Good game.

[Hitoshura]

Been replaying Xenosaga 1 in honor of Saishu's avatar.

Seriously though, just been making my friend watch the scenes from Eps 1 and 2 so he can play 3. 1 and 2 I can understand why they are disliked (although 2 is fun as hell to play and VERY SMTish on the side of abusing enemy weaknesses), but 3 was honestly an amazing game. Just finished Ep 1 today and started Ep 2.

[Sarukah]

3 was honestly an amazing game.

Quoted for Truth.

[Saishu]

Been replaying Xenosaga 1 in honor of Saishu's avatar.
Nice. I put it up in honor of Kakizaki obtaining the series and other people mentioning the games. (It's been a while since those posts though)

I loved 1 the first two times I played through it, I enjoyed 2 even though I disliked the character designs, and 3 was great. I don't have the endurance to play the games again though. Xenosaga 3 needs a boss battle mode so I can snap everyone's necks with Ziggy again.

[Kid Marin]

Beat Puzzle Quest (XBLA) and playing some EO II (10F).

[Logan]

Just got done playing a little under an hour of MGO. Did TERRIBLE in the first two matches of Team Deathmatch and just plain Deathmatch. Then I started getting a little bit more used to everything and did pretty good in Capture, my team winning both matches and myself coming out on top in the second. Then another TDM came but it was only 2v2 and we won both matches. All in all, a very fun experience. I may play again later on tonight. Though I still wouldn't suggest anyone here playing with me if you care about your stats. :wink:

[Dead to Rights]

Whoa, you played MGO and you didn't post in the official "MGO" thread to lest us know about it Logan? I'm deeply hurt.

[Logan]

^That was not my intention, bro. I merely didn't want to post it there because it's the "Metal Gear Online Thread of Awesome" not the "Metal Gear Online Thread of So-So" Know what I mean? <3

[Sayckeone]

I'm deeply hurt.

[Logan]

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm so sorry. I'll know better next time.

[System_Error]

playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness... It's not horrible >_>.

[PFV]

Just beat EO2. Final story boss was a little too... easy. =/

Time for post game, I guess.

[RayFoxSith]

Playing the first Diablo. I've died a good four or five times. It's okay, but the age shows a bit.

[EvilHero]

^Don't get discouraged, Ray. I died alot during the first Diablo too. Diablo 2 will be a much better experience.

[Chronis]

I went back to Katamari Damacy and beat that. I'll probably keep playing that and getting better scores for a while. Or maybe I'll play Blood Will Tell finally.

[Sei]

Fire wall is your friend.

I just tried out the demo for The Bourne Conspiracy, which was awesome (especially for a licensed game). I now feel like a total jackass for not having watched the movies yet, which I'm getting in on ASAP.

[Sayckeone]

You are a total jackass for not watching the movies.

[Flußkönig]

Finished Mana Khemia last night. The addition of the grow book was nice and added a level of challenge that wasn't present in the other localized gust games.

But overall Mana Khemia was really just what you would expect from the series. More of the same. Not a bad game, but I am glad I rented this rather than purchasing it.

[Sanctine]

Holy ####. I totally forgot about Mana Khemia. Bought it day one, never played it. I know what my next game is.

[Foryth]

I decided to play Mana Khemia a little bit at a time. I usualy play for about an hour or two, then don't play it for the rest of the month. It's not bad, it just doesn't hold a candle to the other games I have to play.

Anyway, I decided yesterday to start a new game of the snes Shin Megami Tensei (since I lost my old saves), to crank myself up until I get SMT Nocturne.(Which I should order pretty soon.)

I also play a bit of We Love Katamari, Yakuza and EO2. The bosses return near the end of Super Castlevania IV pissed me off and I'm taking a break from it. Oh and I'm also playing some Soul Calibur 3 with my girlfriend from time to time.

[Flußkönig]

Holy ####. I totally forgot about Mana Khemia. Bought it day one, never played it. I know what my next game is.

Lol, glad I could help. I am sure you will like it since you like the other mana games (If I remember correctly).

[EvilHero]

Shin Megami Tensei on the SNES and Shin Megami Tensei on the PSX.

It may not be translated like the Rom, but I can't just let my copy of the PSX remake SMT sit after I spent all that time searching for it. I'm playing the PSX version while reading the script on Gfaqs, every now and again I proceed along the SNES version to help with items/demon covos/loose text that isn't in the translation faq.

The PSX SMT is SOOOO much more tolerable than the SNES version. The game moves MUCH faster, the scrolling looks better, the encounter rate has been toned down significantly and the music sounds better. I'm having alot more fun playing it on my PS2 than my computer's emulator.

[Chronis]

I played some Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. And I hate those shark monsters in the last sea quadrant.

[Voodoo]

Taking a break from Front Mission and playing Suikoden. My goal is to make it through of these series by the end of the year.

P.s. Suikoden Tactics doesn't count

[Flußkönig]

That is a noble endeavor. I played through 1, 2, 3 (minus Thomas's perspective) but got burned out by the time I finished 4. I don't blame you for skipping Tactics, I gave it another try after finishing 4, but that only lasted a battle or two.

[Dual]

Spent most of the day playing demos. Mini-reviews -

Kane and Lynch - The story, I'll admit, actually seemed a little interesting. A sort-of Reservoir Dogs situation where you don't really have feelings for any of the characters, but you want to see what happens, anyway. The gameplay, on the other hand, is severely broken and just plain terrible. The AI is just awful. For example, two men were standing next to each other, one firing at and facing me while the other was turned the opposite direction and was blankly staring at wall (it's really, really bad). The shooting mechanics are awful, I don't even have the faintest of ideas on how they even began to think it was acceptable. Also, and this is mostly just funny, the damage textures apparently show up anywhere on your character. For example, I had a gigantic, bloody, gaping hole in my head at one point, and at another, I had two gigantic, bloody, gaping holes on my backpack that's contents were never explained. I can only imagine it housed a tumor on my back or a baby.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma - Pretty awesome, really. I kind of want to get it, but at the same time I'm not a huge fans of these games (God of War and Devil May Cry-ish games). The "high difficulty" everyone talks about also seems to be a lot of getting things precisely right and I really don't like memorizing long chains of combos then repeating them constantly, so I'm not entirely sure whether or not I'm interested. I don't think games in this genre's difficulty is really "fair" and that it's mostly just obnoxious and frustrating.

Heavenly Sword - Very unimpressed for some of the praise I've heard and I now understand why it got as low as it did on MetaCritic. Since I just mentioned I'm not a fan of this genre in the NGS commentary, I think it goes without saying I'm not really interested in this one.

Genji - This game is pretty damn bad. Same genre as the previous two only considerably worse than Heavenly Sword. The combat is slow and extremely uninspired and the game looks bad and overcompensates poor looking character models and environments by adding A ####TON OF BLOOM.

Super Rub'a'Dub - Cute, but I'm not buying it.

Folklore - I almost quit the demo immediately after realizing that the conversations were entirely text-based, and I'm glad I didn't. Genuinely interesting and fun game. I'm in the middle of the road on whether to buy it or not, though, considering it has way too much DLC (I think it was 42 bucks worth).

Condemned 2 - Not quite as bad as the first, but still pretty bad. I love how this game can take incredibly linear and small environments and somehow turn them into complicated labyrinths for me. I was getting lost just as much as I was in the first one and the way to go was always right next to me. Everything's too dark, you move too slow, and the areas are way too freakishly cramped. Also, still not scary, at all. I'm going to stop myself before I explode.

Nucleus - Boring.

Haze - Awful.

Motorstorm - Uh, the soundtrack was sort-of interesting? Not very impressed at all, here.

Dark Sector - The demo apparently dropped me somewhat late in the game and expected me to know a few things I suppose would have been introduced beforehand, such as charging the blade to break locks and electrifying/burning the blade to effect enemies further. I was actually pretty surprised by this one and am kind of interested in getting it, but it did have some definitely lackluster elements.

Uncharted - Why the hell does the over-the-shoulder perspective in this one make him look like he's aiming FAR, FAR to the left or right (seriously the perspective is wacky)? Why do enemies react ridiculously when they're shot? Why was the main character's reaction to getting shot with anti-air "this is so not cool" and his reaction to seeing an angel statue "####?" Guy needs to get his priorities for cursing straight lol. This game's shooting aspect seems to really poorly copy Gears of War and is nowhere near as good in that regard, but I'll admit the envinronments are pretty neat and jumping around is kind of fun, though. I don't think I'm really that interested in buying it until it drops a little further, though, and I'm glad I got Resistance first, since I was debating over this or that being my first PS3 title.

Ridge Racer 7 - Fun, but I suck at it. I kind of want to get a driving wheel for my PS3 and this and GT5 just because I've never really gotten into racing games (other than F-Zero) before. Whether I like it or not, it'd be something new.

Ratchet and Clank: Future - Seems pretty cool, but nothing really that different from the other Ratchet and Clanks. By that I mean it's easy, somewhat boring shooting and platforming. Nothing bad, but nothing that great either.

The Club - Fun, but not really my cup of tea. I am glad to see an arcadey game like this, though, too many shooters these days try to emulate realism and it's nice to have a "plow through and just blow #### up" kinda game.

Echochrome - Really, really neat. Definitely getting this one. Also, why have I seen it spelled Echodrome so much?

Battlefield: Bad Company - I disliked whatever one I played before this because the single-player was severely lacking and the multiplayer just wasn't fun. I actually enjoyed this, though, and might end up getting it eventually. For whatever reason, the redneck is amusing, despite being somewhat comparable that idiotic Larry the Cable Guy (who, just for the record, I despise).

[Arjuna]

Was it really necessary to post multiple reviews on demos?

As for Ninja Gaiden, once you learn Izuna Drop, it gets fun.. and very easy. It's a huge reverse pile driver that knocks down any surrounding enemies when you use it.

Anyway replaying one of my all time favorite shooters, Einhander.

[Dual]

Was it really necessary to post multiple reviews on demos?

Kind of.

I'm hoping for "Actually this game is alright because..." and "Woah, you're going to want to look out for..." responses. In case my impressions were wrong. After all, they're just demos.

[Esoteric]

Folklore - I almost quit the demo immediately after realizing that the conversations were entirely text-based, and I'm glad I didn't. Genuinely interesting and fun game. I'm in the middle of the road on whether to buy it or not, though, considering it has way too much DLC (I think it was 42 bucks worth).


There is voice acting in the actual game, as well as CGI cutscenes that don't show up in the demo.

[Sei]

Spent most of the day playing demos. Mini-reviews -

I hate everything

Geez Dual, just what kind of games do you like?. Been playing the battlefield demo a bit, seems fine to me. Folklore I've seen is good and am thinking of picking up when it price drops, although it's unlikely I'll grab any DLC.
Other than that yeah. Nothing too eye catching in there.

There is a Siren and a Agares senki demo in the Jp marketplace. Might like those.

Still doing MGS3, playing a bit of twewy postgame, fes.

[Chronis]

Yeah, Sei is right. You hate pretty much everything and IMO seem to be making mountains out of molehills. Like... I'm pretty good at Ninja Gaiden and I don't memorize any combos. And I reall don't think you can say Genji looks bad. It may be uninspired but i think it looks pretty good.... despite the ####ton of bloom.

[Saishu]

Looks like Dual is scared of commitment :P

My own personal opinion of Sigma that I just have to say... It could be the best version of Ninja Gaiden, but they force you to play as Rachel. They should have separated her parts from the main game.

[Constraint]

I started on Fire Emblem:Path of Radiance.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Started my file back up in Nocturne.

Also decided to give Fable another try.

[Logan]

Played a (very) little bit of LoZ:PH at work today. Just got finished downloading the Condemned 2 demo and played that as well. Wish it had included some better weapons within the demo but it was fun. I actually have the full game still sealed from when I ordered it on GS for $30. But since it's back up to full price I may try to exchange it for another game since it seems like a one play-through type of game. Downloading the Folklore demo at the moment.

[massaker]

I have to finish resident evil 4 (you always know whats going to be around the corner, something evil.) naruto rise of a ninja, dead rising, MSG3, psychonauts, devil summoner, grim fandango.

Have to start, persona 3, killer7, eternal sonata, red-dead-revolver, devil saga 2.

Have to get hold of the warriors and kane and lynch dead men.

[Saishu]

Killed another dude in Assassin's Creed. So far I've finished four of the Nine.

[Chronis]

I played some demos that have been lingering on my PS3. Didn't like Sega Superstar Tennis. I didn't score in all 3 sets and I only got a 360 in the HotD minigame, which seems sorta low. Fatal Interia was pretty fun. I'd buy it but I really don't want to buy downloadable stuff, except maybe if Sony mass distributes the PSN Points cards. Checked out the Metal Gear Database. They should have done something like Wikipedia and have several search words link to the same page. Do we really need separate entries for Adamska, Revolver Ocelot, and Shalashaska?

[RayFoxSith]

Got to the second part of the dungeon in Diablo. I really cannot wait to play the second.

[Sei]

^ The second one is kinda different. You playing with people or by yourself?

[Foryth]

Yay! I finaly beat the last mission of chapter 5 in Trauma Center: Under the Knife, after putting it away for so long. I guess this means I might get the second one soon...

[RayFoxSith]

By myself. I'm currently at level 11 (or 12).

[SlaughterX]

I was going to buy the Diablo Battlechest today, I called my local Gs and asked if they had it in stock like it said they did online, the guy said yeah so I went down to pick it up and... it was the WarCraft battlechest... Earlier today gameStop.com was offering free shipping on it, but when I got home it seems that promotion had come and went. Ohh well, I didn't care for it when i played it back in HS, but with the sequel recently annouced and the fact that it was on sale I was going to give it a second chance, but it looks like I will wait a little longer...

[Dual]

Geez Dual, just what kind of games do you like?

I did like several of the games I listed, I just sound overly critical. Most people tell me I'm like that and it ends up bugging some people. I've been disappointed all around this generation so my usual critical nature comes out a lot stronger on modern games, I guess. As for what I like? Different things. It's easier for me to say I don't like things, haha.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Some Riviera PSP and started back up Final Fantasy V Advance.

[Sayckeone]

By myself. I'm currently at level 11 (or 12).
Play it with people. I thought it was OK alone, but when I went online I had a lot more fun.

[Sanctine]

Play it with people. I thought it was OK alone, but when I went online I had a lot more fun.

The original Diablo's multiplayer is plagued with hackers, now. It's not really fun anymore.

Be sure to play Diablo 2 online, though.

[Kid Marin]

Mega Man ZX Advent - Sayck asked me my opinion about it, so here you go. First, i didn't touch to the MMZ series on GBA but i played a bit to MM ZX last year.
So far i like Advent better: the map has improved (ZX's map is a mess) and normal mode seems a bit easier (wihich is good IMO, ZX is a bit too hard for my tastes). You can't go wrong with it if you like 2d platform games and Mega Man in particular.

Besides MMZXA, i have a hard time with EO II (10F) and some fun with SNK Arcade Classics V.1 (PS2).

[Sayckeone]

Sanctine... That sucks. Can you play some sort of co-op mode with another person online, rather than joining the main servers?

Kid... Awesome, thanks. Think I'll pick it up.

[Sanctine]

Sanctine... That sucks. Can you play some sort of co-op mode with another person online, rather than joining the main servers?

Someone out there has probably modded Diablo to have that capability, but I'm not really aware. Blizzard just sorta dropped Diablo support when Diablo II came out, and now it's basically a nightmare.

TBH though, Diablo hasn't really held up that well. I remember playing that when it was popular and having a blast... but I can't go back to it. Diablo II is where the real fun is. Man, has that game held up well.

[Foryth]

I remember doing modem to modem coop on Diablo 1 way back when dialup was the norm, but I'm not sure if it can be done through the internet. (But Sanctine seems to say no, so I'll trust him. )

[Sanctine]

(But Sanctine seems to say no, so I'll trust him. )

Huh? No, I said I don't know.

[Sei]

I think you can only do dial up or bnet, but its been years. A password game would be closed to idiots tho.

[Foryth]

(But Sanctine seems to say no, so I'll trust him. )

Huh? No, I said I don't know.

Sorry, seems I misunderstood your post. :oops:

Ok I checked gamefaqs and there seems to be a coop mode for up to 4 players.

The greatness of this game, is the
fact you can connect to Blizzard¹s Battle.net. Here, you can join with 3
other people to play. Instead of playing by yourself, you can build your
character to win dueling tournaments, or co-op through hell. This is where
the REAL fun is.

[Foryth]

Damn, double post. :?

Anyway I just wanted to say that I started playing Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, and it looks freaking sweet! It seems much better than Persona 3 anyway. Though I should get my copy of Nocturne in a week or two, so it'll probably get pushed aside by then. (Special thanks to my girlfriend for ordering it for me! :D )

[Animus_19]

Triggerheart Exelica. I'm starting to like shooters. There's crap flying everywhere and I can weave in and out between shots with ease.

[dragonlife29]

I recently got The World Ends with You and Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP), so I'm enjoying those at the moment.

[Saishu]

Finished the first Fatal Fury, and then played Alien Hominid. I made it all the way to the final boss and then game over :(

i've started playing through Morrowind yet again, through the dense dynamics of some strange fault of reasoning.

I picked up FFTA2 but was waiting for my friends copy of TTA1 to start the game with a bonus... he does not own it anymore so I will push ahead with out it. I guess it wasn't a big deal anyway.

That and some MGO tonight.

[massaker]

Trying to finish Psychonauts and Resident Evil 4, that game just won't die.

I really liked morrowind, don't know what happened to oblivion though, something wrong with that game I think.

[Arjuna]

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground DEMO..

OMFG it sucks. I'm really glad they decided not to release a game this year, they have a LOT of work to do. When you fall you ####ing keep sliding on the floor for almost 10 feet. When you do simple things like 180's and 360's the skateboarder crouches too much, it looks like he is trying to do a grab. It's so ####ing ugly, I really hope it's just the result of the demo. This looks so awful. They really dropped the ####ing ball after American Wasteland, that game was amazing.

[Sayckeone]

Now that skate is out, they should just go make an MMO, or something.

[Thunder-Slash]

Just finished Yggdra Union this past week. Damn that last boss was a pain in the ass...

I'm thinking of moving onto Riviera now.

Stardust HD.. Holy #### I am buying this day one when I get my check.

[Vincent Alexander]

Hey, Ray. When you get to Diablo II, I'll hook it up with you if you want. I haven't played forever, but I bet it'd be fun to start a new character with ya and go through the game. Just send me a PM if interested.

And I just finished Shadow of the Colossus and I'm still working on Ar Tonelico.

[Constraint]

Finished Chapter 1 of Mercedes' book in Odin Sphere.
The boss wasn't too hard.

[Sayckeone]

Getting back into skate. I'm horrible at this game. Only complaints I have is that you can't control the camera, you can't pan the camera out (it's way too close to your skater), and I wish I could get off my board and walk/run. Maybe in skate 2.

[Esoteric]

Chapter 4 of War of the Lions. Hell of a game!

[Chronis]

I started playing Ridge Racer PSP again. I just beat the first set of races.

And the original Prince of Persia, thanks to the bonus features in Sands of Time. I finally beat stage 2 after constantly dying on my way from the last pressure step to the end door.

[banballow]

Rock Band. With the sequel being announced last week, I decided to play a bit more... try to get to where I can use the much dreaded Orange Button on the Guitar.

[Sayckeone]

Why the #### do we need a Rock Band 2? Seriously.

[Gillian Seed]

Why the #### do we need a Rock Band 2? Seriously.

For more multiplayer options. Online world tour mode, the ability to create set lists to play certain songs back to back. That way the albums we have downloaded we can actually play through in order instead of having to pick only one song at a time then going back to the menu to reload and ####.

Plus it is a #### load of new songs all in one drop, not that 3+ songs a week isn't enough, it's going to be nice. I hear Bad Religion, Interpol, Against Me! and there were a few others I was really looking forward to, were going to be included.

[Chronis]

We don't need Rock Band 2. EA just needs more money.

[Sayckeone]

Just played a few rounds in MGO. Had a good run. Consistently kept my deaths in the low - mid single digits, and my kills above 10. My head shots were always one or two points lower than over all kills too.
