What are you playing right now?

[Tadao]

It was dumb.

[Phoenix Gamma]

JUST GET READY FOR ME TO KICK YOUR ASS AT BLAZBLUE OKAY >:

I CAN'T MY PS3 HAD TO BE SENT BACK TO SONY BECAUSE IT WON'T TURN ON.

I SPENT LIKE THIRTY MINUTES TRYING TO GET MY BLAZBLUE DISK OUT OF THAT FUCKING GRILL.

GRRRR VIDEOGAMES YOU MAKE ME SO MAD >:

[Sam]

REALLY? :(

[Phoenix Gamma]

YEA I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL GET IT BACK FROM THEM BUT IT BETTER BE SOON. BLAZBLUE ISN'T ON THE WII AND WIISPORTS RESORT DOESN'T HAVE ONLINE PLAY :(

I don't know how you guys can stand typing in all caps :V

[bigtimecow]

UPDATE braid is hard FUCK

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Wow, I'm surprised he lasted that long wiht the PS3.

[OxBlood]

Tried BF 1943 and I don´t yet know what to think of it...also bought Shatter from PSN. Quite a nice game.

[Fathom Zero]

I have to get Shatter, too, but I need MvC2 more, so I'm savin' mah dough.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Beat Twilight Princess with all the hearts, bugs, and other upgrades. Loved it.

Playing through Zelda II right now, because it's the only Zelda I never beat. I'd like it a lot if it weren't for the fact that some enemies require ESP in order to beat. I'm talking about those cunts with the shields. Also, the randomly appearing/disappearing enemies.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Did you get through the optional 50 level dungeon in Twilight Princess. I made it through the first 30 levels and forgot about it.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I completed it twice; it's actually harder the second time because it has even more enemies, just to put your nuts in a vice. More Iron Knuckles than you know what to do with.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

lol, I need to get back into it. I read they're making a sequel for it. Can't wait.

[Guitar Woman]

I think the village with the completely invisible enemies in Zelda II was as far as I got.

What the fuck was that about.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I think the village with the completely invisible enemies in Zelda II was as far as I got.

What the fuck was that about.

That's where I am now. But the old guy told me to go look in the woods because the city is dead, so...I guess I need to go to the woods because the city is dead.

Wait, nevermind. There's a palace hidden on the beach. You need to play the flute near some rocks. Weird.

Anywho, I've been playing a lot of DSiWare now that the service is picking up. Pictobits and Cube Life are probably the best Art Style games released so far, and Mighty Flip Champs is surprisingly addictive and made by WayForward (the Contra 4, Boy and His Blob guys). Each of those is totally worth the $5.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Looking forward to this. It doesn't look groundbreaking but still fun to play:

[Guitar Woman]

This sort-of dating sim where you have to take care of your terminally ill little sister, and every time she dies it is YOUR FAULT. And since there's only one ending where she lives and like a billion others, she dies a lot.

It's supposed to be awful and heartwrenching, but it's really just hilarious.

[Sam]

MvC2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek

[darkvare]

soma bringer i found an english translation is like diablo for ds and looking foward to this mmo beat em up
coDSvmUoA5U

[Seven Force]

I'm just now playing Mega Man 7 for the NES and it's way better than the one for the SNES

[Phoenix Gamma]

So...I beat Zelda II.

I was really disappointed. The entire game was hard as fuck, but Dark Link was the easiest enemy of them all. I spent forever trying to land one blow on the Iron Knuckles, but Dark Link died in under a minute. Lame!

Ah well. Playing King of Fighters 2002 since I won't be able to play the new one or BlazBlue until my PS3 comes back. Also more Wii Sports Resort, because it's more fun than I expected.

[Babs]

I've been very interested in The Empire Strikes Back for NES. It's a pretty fun game actually, some levels are more like a platformer while others can be a little more brute and strategic. It's a massive improvement over the first installment from JVC from their first Star Wars game.

[Pentegarn]

In the tradition of (lately) all the people playing old school games, I am playing Uncharted Waters: New Horizons on the SNES

[OxBlood]

A little Dungeon Hack at work. A very nice game AND you don´t have a goddamned Party to look out for. One Dungeon - One Adventurer, that´s how it has to be.

Also played some Fat Princess yesterday. Not as simple as I feared which is nice, but finding a match online takes forever and the bots are rather stupid. But at least it has bots...BF 1943 could use some.

[Zhukov]

Why do fat fucks think I want to hear them talk about a Ninja Turtles game, rather than watch some footage of it?

Yeah, my internet is slow today, otherwise I would have just skipped it.

[bigtimecow]

you could've just read the title of the video before it loads but OKAY

[Guitar Woman]

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/2569/duriel2.jpg

This is some bullshit.

[executioneer]

duriel will fuck you up

[OxBlood]

Tried the Aion Beta-Event on the weekend. Just another MMO, sure, but it´s still nice. It´s just a shame they advertise the whole flying-thing but then only let you fly...almost nowhere. At least as far as I could see.

[Dimnos]

Man that pic made me want to play some Diablo sooooo bad. Had to reinstall Titan Quest instead though. :\

[Zhukov]

I was just about to say that I have been playing Titan Quest. Awesome game.

I lost my CD for it two days ago though. So I have not been playing it. Diablo II instead.

First time I played through I think Duriel killed me a few times, this time I just beat him without dying. The trick is to just fill your belt with rejuvination potions!!!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

still playing Star Ocean 4. 20 hours into it and its still a blast. I just got a char that looks like Buzz Lightyear.

[Dimnos]

still playing Star Ocean 4. 20 hours into it and its still a blast. I just got a char that looks like Buzz Lightyear.


Man... I got about 3 hours into that game and my save file fucked up or something. I cant load it. Have yet to feel the desire to start over again. >:

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:( That's no good. It's really worth starting over. Were you still on the first planet?

[Dimnos]

Yeah still on the first one. I plan on starting over sometime soon. It was just frustrating when I found my save wouldnt load.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

If you start over when you first go out on the planet before talking to rei rei you can get a memo (#5 I think) from the commanding officer so you can synth a better sword pretty much right from the get go.

[Dimnos]

If you start over when you first go out on the planet before talking to rei rei you can get a memo (#5 I think) from the commanding officer so you can synth a better sword pretty much right from the get go.

From the commanding officer? The captain on the ship? Or some guy outside?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I think it's the captain. I missed it so I can't say for sure. Read it about it afterwards. I'll check when I get home and let you know.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Been playing Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, trying to complete the side missions and get a few S ranks. I have a lot of trouble on those side missions, though; I'm bad at maps that aren't Pre-Deploy.

Also King of Fighters 2002. Trying to figure out a team a like. Not that it really matters, all of my favorites are excluded from XII anyways :(

[Shyandquietguy]

I've been playing gemcraft: chapter 0 lately, it's okay.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I think it's the captain. I missed it so I can't say for sure. Read it about it afterwards. I'll check when I get home and let you know.

Talk to VAN in the beginning.

[Fathom Zero]

FAT PRINCESS!

[bigtimecow]

i wanna try fat princess so bad because it looks super fun, but i don't feel like buying MORE SHIT on psn that i STILL HAVEN'T PLAYED

[OxBlood]

Aw come on, don´t you remember the time when you had to buy videogames based on the covers alone? ;)

Apart from not gettin in a match 90% of the time, Fat Princess is pretty good :D

[Phoenix Gamma]

I think I'm gonna replay the Mega Man Zero series on my Wii. I loved that game. Hard as fuck, cool story, and good old Mega Man X gameplay. I wish I could get into the ZX games as much as the Zero ones :(

[Dimnos]

Mega Man Zero? Mega Man X games were the last ones I played. After they tried that whole 3D thing I found it hard to care anymore.

[Phoenix Gamma]

The Zero series is a continuation of the X series, only now X disappeared and Zero needs to help humans defeat an army of X Clones that are going crazy. The gameplay is ripped right out of the original X games (so you dash, wall climb, and all that good stuff), except now Zero has the z buster, the sword, a boomerang shield, and another item that changes from game to game.

Zero doesn't get a crazy new weapon after every boss, but he gets a few elemental equips which do more damage to certain enemies and bosses. Then his weapons level up as you use them, so you get new abilities that way.

They're good games and worth checking out if you liked the SNES X series. The Japanese version is particularly interesting because it's got a shitload of blood, which is really weird to see in a Mega Man game.

[Dimnos]

How do you play them on the Wii? Virtual console?

[Fathom Zero]

PAT FRINCESS

[Phoenix Gamma]

How do you play them on the Wii? Virtual console?

Emulator. They're all GBA games.

[Dimnos]

Do you have to mod your Wii to do that? Or do you just download an emulator and the games?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

There's the twilight princess emu hack, there's a pretty good video of how to do it quickly on youtube but I haven't had the time or care to do it myself yet.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Download banner bomb and homebrew channel onto a SD card, go to the memory manager on the Wii, which causes Banner Bomb to run and install Homebrew Channel, then download a GBA emulator onto the SD card and run that through HC. Should be videos of it.

[Guitar Woman]

Ragnarok Online

or, Wizards are useless and can only cast once before monsters run in and beat your ass every time you try another spell

[Joe Musashi]

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.

Yeah.

[darkvare]

blood of bahamut really hard playing alone

[stevetothepast]

just prestiged again in CoD WaW, the new map pack is pretty good.

[Tadao]

I wish you guys had it on Computer. We could have an I-Mock guild and go in and decimate people.

[MarioRPG]

Some of us have shitty computers, Tadao. :(

[stevetothepast]

It would be sweet if I knew a lot of people that had it on xbox. most of my friends that have it play on ps3.

[Tadao]

Some of us have shitty computers, Tadao. :(

:( I know, I only got a new one less than a year ago, before that I could only play roms.

I can't wait till they finally bridge all consoles and pcs to online play. I'm sure the reason why they don't has to do with something like trying to get people to buy multiple systems and the same game more than once.

[RaNkeri]

I guess I could run CoD WaW on my laptop, but I don't think I'm cool enough to join you guys just yet.

Timezones could also be a pain in the ass

[Tadao]

My brother put it on his brand new laptop, it didn't run very well at all.

[Aimless]

I'm playing Resident Evil 5 on Expert, I have to admit.. I'm not getting very far.

[Sam]

It's easy as long as you don't get hit. :\

[Aimless]

I get hit a lot.

[Dimnos]

Have you beaten it on normal and veteran yet? If you have beaten veteran then expert shouldnt be that much harder.

[Dimnos]

Where are you in Star Ocean 10k?

[Aimless]

I beat it on normal. I just jumped to the hardest out of boredom.

[Dimnos]

Do you play it co-op online? Having an actual human as a team mate will do wonders too.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just played the Arkham Asylum demo on PSN. Really awesome, but it ends right as the boss fight is about to start :(

The best part is the last room, where you have five assholes running around trying to find you. You can really scare the shit out of them to the point where they start running away instead of shooting. Fucking haw.

[Sam]

Arkham Asylum demo is so good.

[stevetothepast]

it's out for XBL now too? I know what I'm doing after work.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I dunno, but they had the demo on display at Target and up for download on PSN, so maybe?

Oh yea, my PS3 is back :D but I fucked up and tied my PSN account to the wrong PS3 ID. I can't change it either :(

[Dimnos]

Sure is.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I think I'm gonna play The Adventures of Batman and Robin on SNES now. I'm in a Batman mood, and I actually hear good things about it. Plus, the Animated Series is my jam :D

Also, NyxQuest on WiiWare. Really good game. Reminds me of Lostwinds, but less boring.

[Sam]

Do you play it co-op online? Having an actual human as a team mate will do wonders too.

Unlimited ammo magnum is a big help too. ;)

[Dimnos]

That too. :lol

[Aimless]

I have not played it online....yet. *wink*

[Dimnos]

Id run you through it but I got bored with it and sold my copy.

[Aimless]

Thanks, I'm probably going to try and play it with Sam. I want to hear the eyerolls when I die.

[Sam]

God give me strength

[Aimless]

I KILLED HIM WITH A MOTHAFUCKIN KNIFE!@#!!


that has to count for something.







*can hear the eyerolls*

[kahljorn]

OH

OH

I SEE.

[stevetothepast]

I think I'm gonna play The Adventures of Batman and Robin on SNES now. I'm in a Batman mood, and I actually hear good things about it. Plus, the Animated Series is my jam :D


I've had this on my to - buy list for a while, it's fairly hard to find, the Animated series is well done, so I always thought I'd like the game.

[Phoenix Gamma]

It's pretty boring. Changed roms after a few hours when I realized there's not much to the game besides running right, hitting the other guy first, and jumping sometimes.

[stevetothepast]

standard beat em up I guess?

[Dimnos]

LEGO Batman is better.

[Phoenix Gamma]

standard beat em up I guess?
Well, the only other Batman I played was Returns on the SNES, and the difference is that Adventures is just side scrolling; there's no 8 directional movement like in Returns, Turtles in Time, Castle Crashers, etc. So you literally only bump into one guy at a time because the only place they can come from is dead ahead. So there's no real skill to it at all.

[stevetothepast]

Batman really hasn't had any justice in the video game department. I haven't played Arkham Asylum yet, but will get into it tonight, it's 1.5 GB so it took forever on my shit connection. I'd imagine it gives you a good play through from the size.

[Dimnos]

Where are you in Star Ocean 10k?

Now that you are back from your one day hiatus?

[Zhukov]

Has anyone played the Rise of Legends? It's going for cheap and the graphics and setting look reasonable enough to get me interested.

Also, I need a new RTS to keep me warm during the long winter months, if anyone has suggestions, please feel free.

Red Alerts
Dawn of Wars
Total Wars
Battle for Middle Earths
Starcraft

Done to almost deaths.

[Dimnos]

Dont know about Rise of Legends but all the other Rise of games I played were quite fun. If its going for cheap then its probably worth a spin.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Where are you in Star Ocean 10k?

About 25 hours into it on planet Roak. I have 6 chars so far. Not sure how far you are but the 4th char you get started out a little bit annoying but is now my favorite one, kay?

There's this one (I think the 5th char) who looks like if Microsoft built a lifesize Buzz Lightyear.

__________________________________________________ ________________
For Resident Evil 5:

I unlocked unlimited ammo for all 3 magnums. I love the L. Hawk the most though because its quick and has piercing. Just wish I could unlock the Samurai Edge Pistol for normal gameplay

[Dimnos]

Is that your first time on Roak? Yeah most of the girls in that game piss me off. Mostly that damn cat girl. I just want to punch her in the face. Bachas, or whatever Buzz Lightyear's name is in this game, kicks ass. He is by far the best character.

[Dimnos]

I mostly want to know if Edge ever quits being a cry-baby bitch about blowing up earth? Because that shit is getting old.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

First time on Roak. He seems like he's starting to get over it. I just hit lvl 39 and got some sweet skill for Edge.

edit: Just got to disc two. It was a really epic transition :rolleyes

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm really not that into Football games but I played the new Madden and it's really fun. People were having cookouts and brought tv's to gamestop to hang out for the midnight release.

[stevetothepast]

football and cookouts, the american dream.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Isn't that the Canadian dream too?

[stevetothepast]

hockey and cookouts yes, as long as there is beer involved.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I know, I usually just try and drink until hockey starts again. What part of Canada are you from Steve?

[Zomboid]

It says P.E.I. right there.

[MajorScales]

Battlefield 1943 on PS3

[stevetothepast]

It says P.E.I. right there.

yeah, he would be correct.

what province is somewhere over the border by the way?

[Hangie]

I just finished playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 again. God I love that game.

[Zomboid]

yeah, he would be correct.

what province is somewhere over the border by the way?
Alberta. Moving to Toronto when I'm done school.

[captain516]

Sounds like you need to stay a few years longer.

[Zomboid]

Uhh... Good one?

I see you got rid of your signature. Good on you, retard.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I didn't know P.E.I. stood for that...that's why I asked him.

[stevetothepast]

I wouldn't expect many people out of Canada to recognize the abbreviation for the smallest province.

anywho, has anyone played the new wolfenstein?

[Zhukov]

I thought that was months away from release...hmm.


I'm playing Heroes of Might and Magic V. III was better.

[Dimnos]

Na. Came out day before yesterday I think.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I thought that was months away from release...hmm.


I'm playing Heroes of Might and Magic V. III was better.

That's what I've heard from everyone. I still play III from time to time but never got a chance to try V.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Dissidia got leaked for the PSP, so I'm playing that. Been playing the Japanese version since December. Probably my favorite PSP game; there's so much stuff packed into it. It's incredible.

Also, Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition. Never played it before. Ever. Thank god for the help button; how the hell was I supposed to know to go four screens back to the bar, into the kitchen, and grab the pot under the stove?

[Guitar Woman]

Magic.

[Zomboid]

I didn't know P.E.I. stood for that...that's why I asked him.

Typical ignorant American :rolleyes

HOMM 2 and 3 were both fucking great. I played the shit outta the demo for 3 when I was but a wee lad.

Anyone know where I could get some old dos and win95 era games that'll play on latest mac os? I've been looking around, thought maybe someone might know a good site off the top of their head.

[Mad Melvin]

Grand Theft Auto 4. Gots me a new PC so I decided to give this game a whirl.

I like it. The physics are awesome and I like the handling on the cars, altough they required a little time to get used to. The only thing that annoys me, is that the police want to arrest you for every little thing you do. Yeah, I get that they went for a little more realistic approach compared to previous games, but it saddens me that I can't even hit a bum with a baseballbat without getting in to trouble. Come on, it's a bum. They like being hit.

[Guitar Woman]

That's balanced by how easy it is to evade wanted stars, I think. I never used the spray shops because hiding outside of the circle is so easy.

The best things to do in that game are pushing people over and standing on them until they die and hurling yourself out of moving vehicles into cars coming the opposite direction.

[Sam]

The last thing I played was the Lost Planet 2 demo. It's pretty cool, but a monster ate me and then shit me out. :(

[Phoenix Gamma]

Went over my buddy's house last night. He had a leaked copy of Arkham Asylum, so we stayed up and marathoned the second half of the game.

Probably the best liscenced game since Goldeneye. They nailed everything from the Batman lore perfectly. As you progress, his batsuit actually gets ripped and shredded, and stays like that, so by the end of the game, Batman looks like he just walked to hell and back.

The last boss is...kinda...I dunno. I wouldn't have gone that direction, that's for sure. But the rest of the game is really solid. Combat is still more or less "Hit Square and Triangle to win", but some parts get a little nuanced. Stealth is definitely way better, but the combat isn't bad.

Eh, I'd give it an A-.

EDIT:Also, GamesRadar's review shows the game over screen if you lose to Bane. Fucking perfect.

[bigtimecow]

ratchet and clank: tools of destruction - fuck this game's gameplay changes every five fucking minutes. so far i've played rayman, crash bandicoot, god of war, infamous, star fox, guitar hero, and wii sports. BUT the parts of the game that are straight classic ratchet and clank are amazing. lots of glitches but nothing that has ruined any part of the game yet

[Fathom Zero]

I heart Rayman.

[MrSmiley381]

I was playing some MvC2 last night, and I reinstalled Diablo II yesterday. I feel like my grades are going to suffer tremendously.

[Fathom Zero]

I'm going to die here when Alpha Protocol comes out and my new copy of Fallout 3 arrives. My schedule is aces, though, except for the part where I have to make a forty-five minute walk in twenty minutes every Monday.

PROFESSOR LAYTON 2.

Also, the fourth Professor Layton game has a special mode after you beat the main game. It's a "100 hour long" RPG, made by Brownie Brown (AKA the guys who made Mother 3)

[OxBlood]

Second run through Shadow Complex, waiting for my horrendous PC-Version of Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy, whatever)...Sadly, Arkham Asylum won´t be here before Monday so it´s gonna be one boring weekend.

[executioneer]

probably gonna drive over to corporate small business crush store in a few minutes and see if they've got arkham asylum :(

[King Hadas]

I'll thank christ when I don't have to use Selphie or Zell anymore.

Eight's characters tend to be either obnoxious or bland and forgettable. Zell's Around-the-World is cool though.

Played Rule of Rose, I can understand what all the controversy was about now, most disturbing game I've ever played. It's also the first game I've played that's simulated what it's like to be bullied. Most games are built on a sort of reward system, this is especially important for a choir like Rule of Rose. And although you are rewarded with a cinema-scene after every tedious, tedious, scavenger hunt; your character usually gets harassed for her troubles ("it's the onion bag for you").

[OxBlood]

Rule of the Rose....strange, never heard of that one until now and I thought I knew most Survival-Horror games *looks it up*

Ordered Class of Heroes yesterday, Random Dungeons are fun.

[Fathom Zero]

I remember people saying that Rule of Rose was disturbing. It took you guys saying it to remind me of how creepy I found it.

I miss my PS1 now. I found a gameshark code that let you play in the SEED outfits the entire game. :rock

I wish more rpgs had a new game + with optional outfits and carryovers. :(

[MarioRPG]

Has anyone played Cursed Mountain on the Wii yet?

I didn't know it was out. Looks cool though.

[Phoenix Gamma]

play in the SEED outfits the entire game. :rock

Why would youdo that? They look weird. I unlocked the costume in Dissidia and I kinda wish I spent those points on something else now :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I loved the SEED outfits. after playing through the game 5 times the regular costumes really really bored me.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Playing through a game 5 times will do that to you.

Especially FFVIII.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Going to sound really nerdy but everytime a new FF came out up to FFXI a friend and I would hang out together side by side with two t.v's and playstations going through the ones preceeding the aforementioned release. I spent a lot of time playing Tripple Triad in VIII and was really irked by the new card game in IX and XI. What're you going to do though. :\

[executioneer]

batman arkham asylum. i almost wish there were something more to the combat, but that's probably the only gripe i can find about it :eek

it's like an interactive, very long episode of the original animated series (with different character designs of course, but then they kind of switched designs halfway thru the original series anyways so big whoop)

[FistfulOAwesome]

I cannot stop playing Punch-Out!! Wii. I've got over 700 completed matches on the thing and I'm still not bored. I swear Next-Level might have done too good a job on the game. I can't even guess how they'll improve on the sequel (but hopefully they surprise me).

P.S. I so underrated the multi-player mode. It's a bit unbalanced (playing as Giga Mac kinda sucks since he can't dodge, can be One-Hit Knockdowned, and can't do a fourth recover), but for a rough presentation of what a full-fledged Punch-Out!! multiplayer could be like, it's a damn lot of fun.

[Fathom Zero]

Motherfucking just beat Dr. Robotnik's Motherfucking Mean Bean Machine and got that motherfucking gold trophy, goddamnit.

Fallout 3 with all the DLC's and shit. Goodbye social life.

[executioneer]

seriously cant stop playing batman. best non-post-apocalyptic-rpg game i've played in recent years

[OxBlood]

I agree. Arkham Asylum is awesome. Played it for around 8 hours yesterday up to 40% and they really got the exploration right. Almost feels like a Metroid game sometimes and I don´t think that I can make a bigger compliment than that :)

[executioneer]

i kind of wish they'd made the riddler challenges harder on hard difficulty, though. moved 'em around, taken out the maps, something.

and the poison ivy fight, with the OH GOSH LOOK HERE ARE MY VLUNERABLE SPOT WHOOPS NOW ITS HIDDEN bullcrap i could have done without. TIRED OF THAT KIND OF BOSS FIGHT, GAME DEVELOPERS >: >:

edit: and what, no "Bruce Wayne, Age 8" statue? i mean it's not a very LONG part of the game but i thought it was memorable enough to get as a reward, dammit

ps i loved that part, i loved all the scarecrow parts but that was the best

[stevetothepast]

Motherfucking just beat Dr. Robotnik's Motherfucking Mean Bean Machine and got that motherfucking gold trophy, goddamnit.

Are you playing it on the genesis or something like sonic's ultimate collection?

[Guitar Woman]

Doom 3.

I thought all the CAN'T SEE SHIT quips were a joke, but even with the flashlight turned on. God damn.

It also feels like I'm playing this on the Quake 2 engine the way the guns recoil and sound. Don't like it.

[Zhukov]

Strange. I was just considering getting Doom 3 out and finishing it sometime.

[Dimnos]

League of Legends. Its :\

[captain516]

I found my PC copy of Spiderman and it's awesome. Great voice acting, unlockable costumes, dozens of easter eggs, and the whole thing is narrated by Stan Lee! It's easily one of the best Superhero games ever.

[executioneer]

NUH UH BANTMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM IS *fights u*

[captain516]

*fights back*
YAH HUH
BATMAN IS FOR LITTLE KIDS, SPIDERMAN IS A COOLER CHARACTUR

[Fathom Zero]

Are you playing it on the genesis or something like sonic's ultimate collection?

Sonic's Collection. Comes with savestates, not that I used them practically. I saved at the end of every puzzle, where I would be given a password, anyway.

[OxBlood]

Speaking of Superhero games, my Champions online should arrive today, already was a lot of fun in the beta and I´m really looking forward to build lots of nice Hero-Dudes. :)

[stevetothepast]

Playing Project Gotham Racing 4, I'm not much for racing games but what the hell. Also started replaying through DKC trilogy last night after finally unpacking the snes from storage :/

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I got the xbox live kit yesterday and it came with project gotham racing 4. Is it any good? I was going to just trade it in.

[stevetothepast]

yeah that's how I got mine. It's okay but like I said, I'm not much for racing games.

[Dimnos]

I hear need for speed undercover is the shit if you like racing games.

[stevetothepast]

LEAVE ME ALONE DIMNOS, GODDAMMIT I DON'T LIKE RACING GAMES.

[Dimnos]

Im sorry man... Im sorry.... :tear

[Dimnos]

You guys with the PS3s. What are the must have games?

[Fathom Zero]

Pat Frincess. Shatter. Unreal Tournament III. The upcoming Demon Souls. Burnout Paradise. Little Big Planet. Infamous. Et cetera.

[stevetothepast]

Little big planet is extremely fun. for a while.

[MarioRPG]

That summarizes most games.

[Fathom Zero]

Certain games have more features on the PS3 than their 360 counterparts. Bioshock only has the Challenge Room DLC on PS3. The Burnout Paradise has a special interface that uses the PS3's web browser. And the Joker Challenges in Arkham Asylum.

Of course, for every PS3 exclusive, there's a bajillion Xbox exclusives.

Killzone 2 is utter shit, by the way, and I hate it. I'd rather be playing Call of Duty any day of the week. And Halo 3? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

[LordSappington]

I just got a copy of Painkiller. I forgot how awesome this game is. The weapon that the game considers your pea shooter is pretty much a self-propelled BLENDER.

[Dimnos]

What is Burnout paradise like? I havent played a racing game in a looooong time. Can you buy your own cars and mod them out and shit?

I dont like Halo 3. I loved the first one back in the day and I had one of those French bootleg copies of 2. It was pretty bad ass. 3 though... I didnt feel like it brought anything new to the table. :(

[Fathom Zero]

You don't get to modify your own cars, but, with the DLC and such, there are over a hundred or so unique ones. Most of the cars come in pairs with different stats and paint jobs, but of the same model. But they are unique, especially the DLC ones. I love the Manhattan Spirit.

[Sam]

I like the Delorean :eek

Hmm, I bought that a while ago for $9.95 and I forgot to play it. I wonder where it is.

[OxBlood]

Started the Retailversion of Champions online. And of course the servers were down. They´re back up by now but the performance is still total and utter ASS. I love MMO´s...yuck.

[LordSappington]

Hmm, I bought that a while ago for $9.95 and I forgot to play it. I wonder where it is.
Find it. It's got the cheesiest and most annoying cutscenes ever, but luckily it doesn't put emphasis on the story anywhere else. The gameplay is awesome; you go from wiping out zombies in a Dark Age city infested with plague (and witches, apparently), to fighting whole sects of ax-wielding monks, to a level that can only be described as an Iron Maiden album cover in game form.

I was reading this and it sounded really familiar and couldn't remember where I saw this. Now thinking it through my roommate has it. Watched him play through the monk level and I'm confirming its ridiculous awesomeness.

[Guitar Woman]

I started playing Monkey Island, but I was shit at it so I downloaded Loom instead.

Loom is holding my attention pretty thorougly, even though I don't know how to access my inventory, or if I even have one, and the only spell I can cast turns shit green.

Edit: And unturns it green if I play the spell backwards, apparently. That's actually pretty fucking cool.

[Guitar Woman]

Ok, I finished Loom in less than three hours :<

Other than being the shortest game I've played it was pretty good. Great, even. I'm playing Kingdom of Loathing and Nethack now.

i remember this game it was awesome specially the stake gun it felt great impaling people to the celling except i couldn't finish it cause it took me time to learn how to kill the last boss and later on i lost interest

[LordSappington]

I don't think I ever figured out how the hell to beat him, actually.
My favorite level was easily the Orphanage.
I mean, zombie orphans, ghost nuns, and finding the vats of chopped-up kids being made into stew while getting chased by giant butchers? Brutal.

[Guitar Woman]

Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters.

It's awesome. I tried to fly to earth and got yelled at by Willie, then I left and got exploded by some red cyrstal guys in hyperspace.

lol you need to go to one of jupiter's moons or mercury (jupiter's moons are more recommended cause you will die v. easy in mercury's firestorms) and pick up some radioactive materials :(

[executioneer]

also exploring pluto before you bring the radioactives to earth may make things easier on you

edit: oh ps you need to go to the starbase orbiting earth did i forget to mention that? ignore what the ur-quan drone says for the most part

[OxBlood]

Champions is starting to be an actual game with all the patching and whatnot. My copy of Dissidia also arrived just now, guess I gotta try it out later.

[Guitar Woman]

yeah, I helped those guys out and cleaned mercury out of minerals without losing a crew member because I'm a badass like that :picklehat

I'm still getting attacked in deep space by the jerks with OP lightning ships, but since the spider guys' territory is circled I guess that's where I go next

[executioneer]

well that's one thing you CAN do, but i'd start hunting nearby systems for minerals, ilwrath ships are a BITCH when they've got active cloaks

[Dimnos]

What's a good multiplayer game to play over PSN? And don't tell me about killzone 2.

[Fathom Zero]

Battlefield 1943. Burnout. Fat Princess. Little Big Planet. Even Ghostbusters is really fun.

Burnout is the best multiplayer online, ever, honestly.

[Microshock]

Burnout has tapped out it's fun for me, i dont regret buying it, it was only 20 dollars and the DLC is ok to play with, but it's just boring now. You should have fun with it for a while though. It also becomes pretty expensive after buying all the shit

And why no KZ2? Fathom hates it for some reason but you may not. Socom? Red Faction: Guerilla, Fat Princess , Resistance 2, GTA4.

[Guitar Woman]

NetHack.

I tried to be a Wizard for a while, but I gave up after a fucking hobbit shanked me to death on the second level.

Valkyrie, now.

[OxBlood]

I am positively suprised how much stuff there is in Dissidia, really nice game so far.

[executioneer]

NetHack.

I tried to be a Wizard for a while, but I gave up after a fucking hobbit shanked me to death on the second level.

Valkyrie, now.

valkyries start out pretty well equipped, but if i remember right a little short on food. my fav class to play is priest but it's almost cheating cause they can see if stuff is cursed before picking it up. of course w/ a little work you can use pets to do the same, it's just more hassle

[Dimnos]

And why no KZ2?

Just that its already on my list of things to get. Just wanted to know what else was out there with good online play.

I picked up Uncharted, Infamous and Disgaea 3. Uncharted was good right up until the halfway point and it decided to start locking up. :( Turns out that is a common problem with the 3.0 firmware? Seeing as you work for Sony when are they getting that shit fixed Micro?

[Fathom Zero]

:lol

[Microshock]

Sony acknowledges the problems and is quickly working on a fix. They announced that on the PS blog. Plus theres a Q and A on the european ps blog today about 3.0

So should be fixed. I just traded away uncharted about a week ago anyway

[Dimnos]

Should be fixed? As in its fixed now?

[stevetothepast]

no just it should be fixed, as in it should have never happened.

[Microshock]

Yeah, it shouldn't have happened but it will be fixed is what they say. This week at least

[Dimnos]

Mustachio!

[stevetothepast]

thank you, thank you.

[Chojin]

f-zero gx, burnout 3

[stevetothepast]

taking another run at secret of mana emulation style. thank god for freeze states

[LordSappington]

I think I already played through the ten or so songs on Guitar Hero 5 that are any good to me.
It's really started to suck ever since 3; the songs are mostly all slow, with no real challenge to them. Rock Band has a lot more variation and speed. And, to me, a LOT better songs. But I'm not much of a classic rock person. Bring on the death metal!

[executioneer]

rb2 has a handful of death metal tracks, plus there's some for d/l if i remember right

[Dr. Boogie]

Prototype. I like how when you walk into someone, instead of just shouldering past them, you wind up and smack them right in the face.


And I was playing Mechwarrior 4, but now Willie has me hooked on SC2, too.

[captain516]

Age of Empires.

are you playin original or the remix with the speech from the 3D0 version, cause i gotta say most of the encounters are better with speech :eek

[Phoenix Gamma]

About to play Beyond Good and Evil for the first time, because I never played it and hear it's really good.

Also, downloaded Disaster: Day of Crisis for the Wii because Reggie doesn't want me to play it. It's pretty average I guess. Kinda retarded; like a collection of disaster movie cliches, except not as retarded as Disaster Movie.

[Babs]

I've been playing the shit out of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on Dreamcast. Hands down the best fighting game around. Legendary line up (courtesy mostly to Capcom). I can't get over the fact that this title alone didn't save the Dreamcast, well I guess PS2 had it as well but still, amazing game.

[Guitar Woman]

Day of Crisis actually got made?

Shit, I remember wanting to play that 5 fucking years ago.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Yea, only came out in Europe.

[stevetothepast]

goddammit, snes9x isn't saving my damn save states.

[Guitar Woman]

Whahahat?

Why are you using that piece of shit? ZSnes is the only way to go.

[stevetothepast]

I think i'll download it tonight then we'll see.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Age of Empires.

Which one?

I was looking for my copy the other day and its missing so I might be downloading this from XBOX live soon.

[Dr. Boogie]

Remake. Speech is definitely better. It adds a certain something to the Spathi daily prayer.

[stevetothepast]

zsnes only works for mac with intel, I have an old emac.>:

[captain516]

Conquerers Expansion. The El Cid campaign kicks ass.

[DougClayton4231]

I'm playing Batman (which kicks so much ass) and Soul Calibur IV (which sucks terribly). Can't always win right?

[captain516]

eIGSYsTikmoI didn't think anything that let you play as Darth Vader could suck.

[Dimnos]

Batman rocked. The end was the only thing I had an issue with. :\

Not so much that Joker injected himself with the titan stuff. Which is apparently what a lot of people had an issue with? The fact he just stood there with his back to Batman. Really? You going to count on your henchmen that have been doing such a bang up job so far? :rolleyes

Just beat Infamous. That game kicked ass. Much better than Prototype in my opinion.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Castle Crashers because I finally got XBOX live.

Lockeness108 is anyone wants to play.

[Guitar Woman]

FF4 on the Gameboy Advance.

No matter what way I look at it, this is still a shit-tier Final Fantasy.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Scribblenauts AND Mario&Luigi 3 were leaked today. Best day ever.

(also a english patch for the Japanese Pokemon Gold/Silver Remakes, but I don't think anyone here cares :()

Scribblenauts is pretty amazing, but the controls aren't as great as I'd like. Still an awesome novelty.

[OxBlood]

FF4 on the Gameboy Advance.

No matter what way I look at it, this is still a shit-tier Final Fantasy.

I´d rather say 4 was the first GOOD Final Fantasy. 1-3 on the other hand are terrible in my opinion. Of the three older ones (4,5,6), I still like 5 the best because of the job-system.

[Guitar Woman]

Yeah, I just started playing 5 for the first time and once I realized you could combine classes I went into super nerd mode and my team ended up so hardcore that even bosses are a three-turn joke. I think my favorite is the Berserker with the passive two-handed axe weilding, which does about 800 damage.

But overpowered as hell is the only way to play through any of the Final Fantasies. Which is also why I like 8. I always go completely apeshit with the Junction system and get 9999 health for everyone by Disc 2 :picklehat

[Dimnos]

What multi-player games did you get for your PS3 Sam?

[Ant10708]

Beat Ghostbusters last week. Was fun while it lasted.

Playing Dead Space now.

[Fathom Zero]

Practically identical in terms of gameplay, yet strangely I yearn to play Dead Space again.

have you tried putting any famous game char's into scribblenauts, i.e. Link, megaman, samus etc.

I only got LittleBigPlanet and Noby Noby Boy. :(

No copyrighted characters or proper nouns.

EDIT: Holy shit I just put five pandas ontop of a unicycle and now I'm riding on all of them. Game of the Millennium.

[Dimnos]

I think I might go ahead and pick up Killzone 2 this weekend.

[Dimnos]

Or maybe Battlefield 1943... IDK :\

[stevetothepast]

have any of you guys ever used http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/homepage.asp?
It's a pretty good way to get rid of games you don't play or want anymore.

[Ant10708]

Practically identical in terms of gameplay, yet strangely I yearn to play Dead Space again.
what is it identical to?

[Fathom Zero]

Ghostbusters. I mean, the over-the-shoulder 3rd person shoot shit style.

[DougClayton4231]

Ghostbusters was ok I guess, it ran like shit on PC though. Somehow I managed to beat Dead Space in less than 5 hours when I got it, it never scared me once which kinda pissed me off. Can anyone recommend something on 360?
