What are you playing right now?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Final Fantasy 2 is the only one I enjoyed playing through, that being said, I'm a little weary of turn based rpg's

FF2 as in the NES game, or the SNES game? I tried the DS remake of the SNES one and thought it was okay. Cecil's a shitty protagonist.

Yeah. I have to go with FF2 (Or FF4 really) and FF3 (Which was what really? FF6?) and FFX was a suprise too. Yea, FF2 was actually FF4, and FF3 was actually FF6. But now that every Final Fantasy finally came out in America with it's original title, Square and everyone else stick to the actual numbers. I liked FF6 a little, but I got stuck at some snow area and couldn't be assed to start the game over again.

FFX was pretty annoying, though; the characters were all lame, the story was pretty stupid (Meg Ryan is a water polo player who travels to the future to fight a monster. Except he's just a dream) and you kill that loser Seymour probably four times in the entire game. Not "knocked him out"; he actually dies multiple times and comes back from the dead because he wants to fuck Yuna so badly.

I did like the combat. The whole "switch party members mid-battle" thing is something more RPGs need to do. There's no reason for three people to go through a fortress when I have a whole army of dudes.

[Dimnos]

FF6 is in my opinion the best FF ever made. You would do well to give it another shot, if only a free ROM download.

Yeah the story and characters in FFX are not what make it great. The combat and the ability wheel or whatever it was called.

[stevetothepast]

ya I was speaking of the SNES FF2

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

FF2 on SNES was really good but hard.

Phoenix: I agree with Dimnos. You def should play through FF6. If you get stuck just let me know instead of looking it up. You should be able to play through the whole game without using a strat guide. If I'll mention one thing while playing through the game it's

Wait......wait for shadow........

[Phoenix Gamma]

Yea, I got the ROM on my Wii waiting to go (playing on a TV with the controller motivates me), so I might try that again if FF9 doesn't work out. I'm only in the Ice Cavern right now, so we'll see how things go from here.

I like the ability system, because it reminds me of the one in Tactics A2, which was the only reason I played that game.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Do you need to MOD the WII for the emulator to work? I'm trying to get my roommate to do it but he's weary of it.

[Phoenix Gamma]

You need the Homebrew Channel to run it. No mod chips or anything. BannerBomb lets you install the channel without Twilight Princess, so it's actually easier than ever to set it up now. After that, you just need to download the emulator and ROMs.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'll try that. I actually have Twilight Princess so I'll check it out wednesday at my day off. Is that where you can download Brawl+ too?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Brawl+ requires you to download Gecko OS (basically, a cheat program like Action Replay or Gameshark) because it isn't technically a mod in the literal sense; all the changes (loading custom costumes, increasing specific attack speed or damage) are just codes that are loaded through Gecko. You can still play normal Brawl by not loading Gecko.

I've got the links for BannerBomb, Homebrew (HackMii), Emulators, and Brawl+ all bookmarked if you need me to email them to you or something, but it's really just a matter of putting things in folders and pressing A.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That's not so bad. I'll get back to you on wednesday when I have some time to fool around with it. Thank you :)

[Guitar Woman]

7th Saga!

It's awesome!

[Phoenix Gamma]

Got Tiger Woods for the Wii because I wanted to try the Wii Motion Plus.

I'm real bad at golf.

"That was the worst putt I've ever seen" :(

[Sam]

PROTOTYPE IS RAD

[bigtimecow]

FUCK YOU PG I POSTED THIS ENORMOUS GUIDE IN THE MOTHER3 THREAD ABOUT SOFTMODDING THE WII

GODDAMN YOU GETTING THE SHORTCUT BECAUSE OF ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY

edit: i wonder why my infamous trophies aren't showing up in my sig

also, a friend started infamous being good, but yet during the first mission with the food, people were like "yeah!" "alright!" and happy and shit, then a cutscene plays and apparently everyone still hates him, started throwing rocks. this morality system is so broken (SEE FALLOUT3 FOR COMPARISON)

[LordSappington]

My friend loaned me GTA4. I finally got around to the missions, and I don't think I'm even a quarter through them yet. It's both entertaining and frustrating.

[Guitar Woman]

The one I hated most was where you had to chase down and kill the Lost gang member, because he gets a badass speedy hog and you get a fucking honda to follow him with. And you can't actually kill him until he calls his friends up in the park and you get into a gunfight with them on foot.

I figured I'd just shoot him off his bike right after the mission started and that would be that, but noooooooo, he gets arbitrary godmode for five minutes.

[Kilgore Cod]

Haven't been playing much lately...mostly Street Fighter 4 for the PS3 and Geometry Wars: Galaxies on the DS.

I wasted so much ammo for my shiny new micro-uzi on that bastard's back. >:

[Phoenix Gamma]

Okay so frisbee golf in Tiger Woods is totally one-to-one. The only problem is I can't throw frisbees for shit, so I get the same horrible results in the game as I do in real life :(

Still, the game recognized all of my hand motions, so if I wanted to throw the disc at my own face, I could.

Yeah but at home your beer stays cold in the fridge. :)

[OxBlood]

Alternating between Red Faction Guerilla, Star Ocean, Onechanbara (What? It was like 6 Bucks :D) and Folklore...and there´s Prototype still on the way, as well as Nights in the Nightmare (already played the ROM a bit, very interesting game)...gonna be a tight month for my wallet...

[Karmapolice]

I'm playing Sims 3 and Armed Assault 2.

[MetalMilitia]

ARMA2 isn't out yet - beta? Is it good?

[Karmapolice]

I got the EU version. So far I like it, it's pretty good in my book especially if you're into realistic tactical sims.

[Dimnos]

PROTOTYPE!!

[stevetothepast]

What's your impression on Prototype Dimnos, and did you get the new map pack for CoD?

[Dimnos]

It was a little slow to start off. They have a prologue that is very linear and then the actual game starts up and the first few missions that are the tutorial are also rather linear. After all that crap though the game truly opens up to be a sandbox game and its quite bad ass. Im not really that far into yet, I just picked it up last night. But so far its great.

No I havnt picked up the new map pack yet. I will probably do that this weekend though.

[stevetothepast]

The 2nd set is much better than the first map pack

[Dimnos]

I would hope. The only reason I got the first pack was for the zombie map.

GO GET IT!


There that is better. Prototype, pick it up! :rock

[bigtimecow]

i really want to purchase FFVII over psn, but i'm not sure if i can even dedicate myself to that. i start so many RPGs, get close to the end, and never finish. see mother3 and chrono trigger :( :( :(

[Phoenix Gamma]

Tried Rakugaki Showtime today. It's a PSX game like Power Stone, except with an emphasis on throwing things (think super violent dodgeball) and a weird crayon art style. Also, Marina Liteyears is an unlockable character, which is pretty much the only reason I'm playing the game :D

I want to play Mischief Makers again, but my gamepad is broken and it's not on Virtual Console :(

see mother3 and chrono trigger

Oh for fuck's sake.

[Guitar Woman]

I still haven't touched Mother 3 after chapter 4 :\

[Dr. Boogie]

That game you were harping on for months on the run-up to the release of the translation? Why the hell not?

[MetalMilitia]

Because it's more important for guitar woman to be seen to be playing obscure jRPGs than for him to actually play them.

[bigtimecow]

Oh for fuck's sake.

;_;

[bigtimecow]

i just beat infamous (YUP, FINISHED A GAME; well the main story anyway) and
what the fuck. time travel is so fucking GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. the final boss fight against kessler (i mean cole, who went back in time to stop me from myself INFINITE TIME LOOP TIME TRAVEL WILL NEVER WORK) was so fucking lame. no more sasha? what the fuck happened to her. where is she? she was talking to me during the fight and now she's just... gone? okay? that's retarded. and it was just so meh and undramatic and lame. fucking fuck that

just like EVERYTHING in life, the ending always sucks major cock

[Sam]

that's what you get for finishing a game. :(

[Zomboid]

I'm playing Fallout 3 again. After hanging out with a buddy who had been playing it with the download packs, I decided to do the same.

Buuuut, I also played through Symphony of the Night and then Aria of Sorrow in the past couple weeks.

[OxBlood]

Gotta say, I saw that Infamous-Twist coming as soon as I did some of the Deaddrop-Missions...just too obvious in some conversations. But a good game anyway.

Played Prototype for 4 hours yesterday and it doesn´t seem nearly as bad as some reviews make it look. Graphics are nothing special, so what? It´s a fun game to play so far. More fun than Red Faction I gotta admit.

[stevetothepast]

Because it's more important for guitar woman to be seen to be playing obscure jRPGs than for him to actually play them.

haha we all know the type

[Fathom Zero]

I played Prototype and it's just so goddamn silly that I can't take it seriously. I've been playing the shit out of Ghostbusters, though.

Really, this game is abso-fucking-lutely beautiful. And it's so much fun.

I took a friend who had never seen the movies and put him into the game and he couldn't stop playing. He almost missed his college orientation he was that into it.

[Nick]

I had fun with inFamous, now I'm tearing through Red Faction and Ghostbusters. They're quite good.

[executioneer]

renting ghostbusters, idk the gameplay seems a little too repetitive for it to rank more than a c+ :/

[Ant10708]

Really, this game is abso-fucking-lutely beautiful. And it's so much fun.

I took a friend who had never seen the movies and put him into the game and he couldn't stop playing. He almost missed his college orientation he was that into it. What system are you playing it on? How is the story?

[MarioRPG]

I started playing Lego Indiana Jones for some reason.

[LordSappington]

I just started Mirror's Edge. That game's frickin' hard! I always run into a group of cops with shotguns, and before I can change directions my head is a smear on the ground.

[Fathom Zero]

What system are you playing it on? How is the story?

I have it on the PS3, which is the same as the 360 and PC version. The story is silly, and it's really a lot of fan-service thus far, as in "HERE. NOW WE HAVE TO FIGHT 'X-GHOST' FROM BEFORE IN A FAMILIAR PLACE." I dunno. I just finished up the Library, which is the third level and it's all about the Librarian from the first movie. The second big story fight is with the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man.

The story is alright for what it is.

[LordSappington]

Scratch that, I just BEAT Mirror's Edge. I thought it was pretty amazing, if not short. The music was equally amazing.

[OxBlood]

Beat Prototype yesterday. Lame Boss, but a really nice game...waiting for Knights in the Nightmare to arrive from the depths of Hong Kong.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Working on Metroid Fusion to complete my canon Metroid run. I really like the game; Samus feels really agile, the story is rad, and the game really likes to fuck with you.

[darkvare]

just finished the 4 kingdom hearts it took me back to when i loved my good ol disney movies

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Mario Party 7 because my cousin didn't unlock Birdo. Birdo for the nguyen!

[LordSappington]

Working on Metroid Fusion to complete my canon Metroid run. I really like the game; Samus feels really agile, the story is rad, and the game really likes to fuck with you.+There were so many parts in that game that I can't figure out how anyone knew how to beat before I discovered GameFAQs.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Really? I just finished it, and I never used a walkthrough. It helps to really check every nook and cranny. I also stocked up on Super Bombs and used them pretty frequently. Adam also makes progression a lot easier since he tells you what part of the map to progress towards.

At least it never does anything totally obscure and weird, like how you unlock the water level in Super Metroid. Sure, it was cool, but how was I supposed to know to do that?

[Angryhydralisk]

Speaking of that logo, I've been playing my old Super Nintendo a lot lately. It still works since I got it in 1991! Mainly playing...

Super Punch-Out! (Special Circuit is a bitch, made the World Circuit look lik e a joke.)
Super Mario Kart
Paperboy 2 (The best one to me IMO)
Earthbound
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
the Pocky & Rocky games
Mario All-Stars
Super Mario World

The games I should be playing on the SNES:
Super Castlevania 4

[MetalMilitia]

Just been playing ARMA 2 recently. Awesomely complicated game but really realistic and great fun when things are going well.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Pocky and Rocky is awesome. You need to play some Lufia 2 son.

[Fathom Zero]

Plants vs. Zombies, silly billys/

[executioneer]

journey, infocom's last developed game. it's really good, and i wish they'd made the whole trilogy >: stupid activision, stupid cornerstone

[Phoenix Gamma]

Trying out Devil Survivor on the DS. It's as if they took the story from The World Ends With You, the combat of a Persona game, the monster collecting from any SMT, and turn-based strategy from FFTactics and made one weird visual novel. I kinda like it, but the difficulty ramped up pretty fast.

Does anyone know if the Fallout 3 DLC is available through the Steam version?

[LordSappington]

I loved that game! I used to play it with my friend in fifth grade, then forgot about it. I jsut beat it last year, and damn the ending sucked.

[Dusk]

Contra Spirits, Zen: Intergalactic Ninja, Ghostbusters for the Genesis, Doom, and Doom 3.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

hahahaha :(

The majority of L2 is awesome but then they remembered that it was a prequel so you basically had to win the game to make it canon. Playing through it a 2nd time is awesome because you get double xp and money so the 50 level descending ancient cave dungeon isn't so bad.

[Sam]

I just got Call of Duty: World at War on 360 and I need someone to play it with. :(

[bigtimecow]

I FUCKING FINISHED MOTHER 3 YESTERDAY

and it was great :D now i'll probably try to finish chrono trigger without losing interest :p then buying either ff7 or mgs on psn, or both :x

Zeno Clash was 50% off, so I jumped in.

It's a weird fucking game.

Can't wait for worms. We still play it on PS1 and the graphics start straining my eyes.

:CONCRETEDONKEY

[MarioRPG]

It's about time to see that game get more love. Even though people still netplay it.

[Nick]

Infamous: Hard Mode is HARD.
I did so well on normal, the game bumped me up to hard and even gave me the hard mode trophy at the end. :3

[bigtimecow]

by that do you mean that you got bumped up to hard after traveling underneath the bridge after the 2nd mission? because i think most people got that, asswipe

[Fathom Zero]

Oh that's fucking gay.

All you have to do is forcibly suck the whole game, then have it up you to hard.

YOU SUCK. Also, I got Hard Mode at the end of the first mission.

[timrpgland]

I still play GTAIV on a regular basis :/

[MetalMilitia]

Still trying to play ARMA2 but it is very difficult.

I've got one other friend that plays so we usually get on Vent and just do our own thing. Obviously not trying to clear out a whole objective but we set ourselves tasks like taking out T90s and such. It's cool because at the main base you have a whole load of ammo boxes full with practically anything you could want - Javelin missiles, SMAWs, rifles, sniper rifles, satchel charges etc. So what we were doing last night was loading the boot on a Humvee full of weapons then driving to a wooded hill overlooking a tank concentration. After observing it for several minutes we took a few tentative shots at a patrolling T90, which alearted the enemy to our presence and ultimately led to us both getting killed. Fun though, and if we'd had a couple more squad mates we could've done a lot more damage.

[Dr. Boogie]

I tried the demo for ArmA 2 the other day, but it ran like shit on my computer for some reason.

The point is it's MM's fault.

[MetalMilitia]

Yeah a lot of people have been having performance problems. Apparently it's being worked on for the next patch. Though even with optimisations I still think it'll be a CPU/GPU/memory hog because of the huge amount of detail in the maps.

The other thing is I can't imagine much gets achieved in the demo as everyone will be inexperienced and it takes at least a couple of weeks of consistent play to find your feet in this game. To find good team-mates you'll probably need a full version (though even the full version is full of tossers).

[Sam]

WRECKING FOOLS IN BLAZBLUE

JUGGLING HOT SHOTS GOLF 2 ON PSP AND THE NEW SMT ON DS

[FistfulOAwesome]

Garou: Mark of the Wolves is quickly becoming a favorite of me and my brother's. The characters are all extremely well designed (i.e. they look like fighters (most of them, anyway) and are fun to play), the system works very well (sort-of like SF but with 4 buttons rather than 6), and the entire presentation is gorgeous. It almost feels like blasphemy to say that it might actually be better than SFIII (which currently holds my position for best fighter, but maybe not for much longer).

I just finished playing NSMB again. Sadly, my feelings haven't changed. It's still a disappointment for a Mario game. 16 years we wait, and all we get is a passable platformer. Mario shouldn't be passable, or adequate. He should be Glorious. I really hope Nintendo steps it up to their A game for NSMBW, because I honestly felt that the 2D sections of Galaxy felt more like 2D Mario than NSMB did.

I also finished Metroid Prime 3 again. I seriously underrated that game. While it is the worst of the Metroid Prime games (bosses, story, levels, item usage all step down in quality from the previous games), it's still damn good. The Grapple Lasso is featured prominently and is fun to use (though I wish it had more importance that it did. If they make a 4th 3D Metroid game maybe they'll find more use for it), there are still some nuggets of genius bosses and levels, and the soundtrack is Kenji Yamamoto's usual Atmospheric brilliance. The controls are absolutely fantastic. The Wii has no excuse not to have fantastic FPS's when MP3 so clearly shows how an FPS should play on the console. They work so well that I'm going to buy the Trilogy so I don't have to feel weird playing Prime 1 and 2 later. Get the Trilogy when it comes out so you can play these 3 great games.

SFII: Remix still gets plenty of play. The designer of the game (David Sirlin (sirlin.net) did a fantastic job rebalancing the cast. They all play much better than they did in Super Turbo. He did so great that I felt no need to keep SFIV (sold it on eBay) since it paled in comparison. The ST and new art are great too.

[Phoenix Gamma]

WRECKING FOOLS IN BLAZBLUE

JUGGLING HOT SHOTS GOLF 2 ON PSP AND THE NEW SMT ON DS

FUCK YEA DEVIL SUMMONER IS AWESOME.
FOUR PARTIES OF THREE PYRO JACKS ON ONE MAP IS NOT SO AWESOME. GODDAMMIT STOP REFILLING ALL OF YOUR HP. OH JESUS YOU'RE BURNING MY ENTIRE PARTY NOW.

I'm also playing a certain rhythm game that I think LordSappington might like, but I'm to embarrassed to mention the name :(

Also, my copy of BlazBlue is an hour's drive away but they didn't deliver it, so I'm pretty bummed. Been killing the time with Madworld, which is pretty fun. The graphics make it hard to see, though.

[Sam]

I keep on fusioning new demons on SMT:DS and then I feel like I just ruined my parties and freak out.

Are you going to play BlazBlue on 360 or PS3? :(

[Phoenix Gamma]

I keep certain demons, but I try to balance the parties. What I do when I see a nice fusion is run to the Auction and just buy duplicates of what I need, then fuse those guys instead. That way I don't lose someone I might want to stick around.

I'm playing BlazBlue on PS3. Don't own a 360, but even if I did, the PS3 has a nicer D-Pad.

[OxBlood]

Okay, so now it is Valkyria Chronicles and Knights in the Nightmare, which are both awesome. Ordered a Demon Souls from Hong Kong as well, I just hope it doesn´t get stuck in customs/toll (whatever the correct word may be in this sentence) again like Knights...BUT it came with the nice Artbook, which I didn´t expect, so it´s okay.

[Phoenix Gamma]

BlahzBlue finally arrived after UPS dragged out a 10 minute trip for 6 hours :(

I kinda prefer Guilty Gear. It just feels like BB has less options and a slower pace. Maybe I just need to play around some more. The repetitive sound bites are also pretty annoying (YOU'RE NOT HUMAN! YOU'RE NOT HUMAN! MAJOR! MAJOR! OPTIC BARREL! OPTI-MAJOR!)

The art book was also pretty disappointing too; only 31 pages. I guess the print quality is nice, though. And the additional "how to play" disc is pretty handy.

[Sam]

Figuring out how to get 100% in the story modes is going to be a pain in the ass. :(

It's a visual novel, right? Just respond to things differently.

I got to the last mission in San Andreas today.

I think I missed something because it was my understanding that there would be a casino heist mission. There was not.

[Fathom Zero]

There is in Saint's Row 2, a bank heist in GTA IV, and there's a game called Heist coming out, which I can only assume is based off of the movie Heat.

Because that game would be amazing.

I got to the last mission in San Andreas today.

I thought I remembered a casino heist in there. You do it with the blind asian Keanu Reeves guy, or at least for him I think. I think you had to do it before you can buy any property in the Vegas area. :confused:

[Phoenix Gamma]

Finally getting the hang of BlazBlue. Got two perfect matches and a 56 hit combo online today. Feels real good.

My PSN name is Phoenix_Gamma if anyone wants to play. My hours are pretty limited, though.

[FistfulOAwesome]

I just bought and beat SuperHero Mode in Mega Man 9. I was originally against it since I thought it was bullshit that Capcom would charge for a difficulty level. But I noticed I was playing Endless Attack more than the main game for Mega Man 9 and I attributed this to the relative lack of enemies to shoot in Mega Man 9 compared to older games in the series. Reading some good reviews of the mode on the GameFAQs forums I decided to swallow my pride and buy the mode. I'm glad I did.

SuperHero is fantastic. All that I thought was missing from the Normal mode is in SuperHero: More Enemies, More interesting use of the various devices (Warp Cubes, Elevating/Descending Platforms, Nega Man), More Bite. It's definitely the way I'll play the game from now on. If you need a reason to pick up Mega Man 9 again, I highly recommend SuperHero Mode (and if you haven't yet picked up Endless Attack you're missing out on one of the most genius modes ever put in a platform game. Get Both (and Skip Proto, he sucks).

Great game.

MvC2 is still the best fighter though :(

[FistfulOAwesome]

It's far too unbalanced for me. I think when you have that many characters, balance is hard to maintain. Plus it's focus on craziness over pure fighting. It's kinda like the Fighter version of playing Grand Theft Auto with the cheats: Fun for about twenty minutes.

[Phoenix Gamma]

there are 50 characters. You have no need to pick just one.

[FistfulOAwesome]

I guess some people get bored playing a single character for a 3-minute match (that's about average length for most matches). Personally, I get bored mashing buttons for Supers. I'm much more interested in outsmarting my opponents with my various moves (Normal doesn't mean worse. You'd be surprised how well Crouching Hard Punch works as an Anti-Air for Ryu) than seeing the carnage unfold.

Maybe the focus on Flash is one of the reasons I didn't like SFIV but many others did. They like seeing 10 second cutscene Supers of "them" kicking ass, similar to the love of MVC2 for it's focus on Supers. For me, that's not enough. I need a good, balanced game behind it (what do I care if I beat my brother if the only reason he lost is that he didn't mash fast enough?). I like to know I beat the other guy because I'm better than him, not because the fight just ended up that way (i.e. I was a faster masher).

[Phoenix Gamma]

Street Fighter IV is one of the more balanced fighting games out there. If you're mashing buttons, you're doing it wrong. But hey, if beating your little brother by hammering buttons is boring, I can't blame you ;)

I won't defend MvC2 as balanced, but only "That Guy" gives a fuck. The rest of the world is having fun beating each other up and don't have time to memorize which of the 50+ characters are the best.

[FistfulOAwesome]

I don't like SFIV for different reasons (Flash + SFII.5) but I do understand that it's balanced. It's what it's balanced around that annoys me. The top-tier characters are mostly guys who have easy combo into Ultra. If getting good at that game means I have to endure those 10 second cutscenes, leave me out (I actually sold it and went back to HD Remix, Alpha II, TS, and now MOTW).

As for MVC2, I have fun with that game. I just don't know how anyone could call it the "best" 2D Fighter, for all the reasons I stated. I get tired with the hammering buttons and eventually desire some actual serious play. Playing pick-up basketball is fun, but it only makes me desire a serious game all the more. It's more fun for me to have my skills tested.

[Dimnos]

I guess some people get bored playing a single character for a 3-minute match (that's about average length for most matches). Personally, I get bored mashing buttons for Supers. I'm much more interested in outsmarting my opponents with my various moves (Normal doesn't mean worse. You'd be surprised how well Crouching Hard Punch works as an Anti-Air for Ryu) than seeing the carnage unfold.

Maybe the focus on Flash is one of the reasons I didn't like SFIV but many others did. They like seeing 10 second cutscene Supers of "them" kicking ass, similar to the love of MVC2 for it's focus on Supers. For me, that's not enough. I need a good, balanced game behind it (what do I care if I beat my brother if the only reason he lost is that he didn't mash fast enough?). I like to know I beat the other guy because I'm better than him, not because the fight just ended up that way (i.e. I was a faster masher).

Play DoA. It's all about reading your opponents. If you try to rush in mashing buttons or even doing actual combos any opponent worth their salt will quickly counter you and you will die really fast.

[FistfulOAwesome]

@Dimnos: Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't like "3D" fighters. They always feel slow and clunky to me.

[Tadao]

:(

[Dimnos]

It's not as 3d as you might think. The 3d only comes into play when you kick someone and they get knocked around to one side or the other. Then the camera will spin around to line you two back up. It really does play more like a 2d fighter game. If reading your opponent and properly reacting to their actions is what you are looking for DoA really is worth checkng out. Do you have an xbox? You can DL a demo for free and check it out.

[Zhukov]

Play DoA. It's all about reading your opponents. If you try to rush in mashing buttons or even doing actual combos any opponent worth their salt will quickly counter you and you will die really fast.

Yeah, I liked DoA. It was so satisfying to pull off the counter attacks.

[Dimnos]

Yeah, I liked DoA. It was so satisfying to pull off the counter attacks.

It really is. Especially when they are in the middle of a combo and you counter it and start into your own. :p

[Fathom Zero]

Right now I'm playing Sony Vegas Pro 9.

[Dimnos]

Anyone know a good RPG game for the 360? I havnt played a good RPG in a long time and am kind of itching for one. Other than Mass Effect and Fallout 3 that is.

[Fathom Zero]

Two Worlds.

Aheh heh heh.

[Sam]

Blueeee Drraaggooonnnn

[timrpgland]

Actually, it's the best fighter out there for all the reasons you mentioned. :(

There are a lot of tech style 2D fighters out there. MvC2 is just pure adrenaline and fun. It does still maintain a gap between skilled players and button mashers. Don't be static and the matches can be very balanced with the character volume.

[Ant10708]

Worms 2: Armageddon:rock

[Guitar Woman]

Still 7th Saga :o

I was promised that this game would be ludicrously difficult, but so far it's not nearly as unforgiving as some of the older RPGs I've played (Final Fantasy 1).

The more runes I get the easier the game is. They're basically free buff items with absolutely no penalties, and I was pretty overpowered before I started getting these things; Esuna's weakest spell can one-shot most monsters that are at the same level as her, and the ones she doesn't kill she leaves on death's doorstep. This isn't mentioning her higher attack spells, and the fact that she can restore magic indefinitely and stay out grinding virtually forever. Or the fact that she's ludicrously fast and always attacks first. And and and I partied with Olvan, the resident brute-forcer, so whatever faults Esuna has are compensated for by teaming with her statistical opposite.

There are barely ever any boss fights, either. I've made enemies of two other apprentices, but only one is still alive and the other one is always an optional fight.

[LordSappington]

I started replaying Quake 4. I think it's actually pretty damn good, for an early release game, and being pretty much a re-skinned Doom 3. You can probably pick up a used copy for $10 or so; I'd do it.

[Tadao]

Did they put single player back in for Quake 4?

[MetalMilitia]

Yeah. Infact the multi player didn't seem to be very good.

[Guitar Woman]

Got NeoTokyo last night. It's gooood.

http://www.neotokyohq.com/

Basically, it's a poor man's Call of Duty 4 with a cyberpunk theme ripped off from Ghost in the Shell, and a ton of neat features like shooting through walls, therm-optic camo and night/thermal/motion vision.

And a CTF objective with tits.

It's the best non-TF2 multiplayer on the Source engine and is incredibly polished despite the fact that it was only released, like, yesterday. I'd suggest getting it!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Age of Empires III just finished installing so going to start playing that.

The skin flute.

[OxBlood]

Finished Resistance 1. Damn that game was...mediocre. At best. Got part 2 from a friend but up till now it´s just a little better. Some things fixed, some not.

Still waiting for my Demon´s Souls. Curse you, play-asia that doesn´t ship sony-products to the european union. CURSE YOU!

[Fathom Zero]

Hahahaha. Sucks to be you. You should move over here, there's a lot more... nevermind.

Pirrotes

[Dimnos]

I just downloaded Blood Bowl last night, so I might not be on very much. Although Im sure Ill be on at least a little every night. I mostly play war, ground war and capture the flag. Oh and zombies. I like killing some zombies.

[Sam]

I don't have zombies unlocked yet. :(

[executioneer]

just beat all (most?) of the quests in point lookout on fallout 3! a pretty fun expansion even if all the new weapons kind of suck a butthole

[Dimnos]

I don't have zombies unlocked yet. :(

Shit. We can knock out some co-op levels to unlock it. Whats your gamertag so I know whos invites to accept?

[Sam]

Playing Final Fantasy 12 which actually turned out to be not so bad.

Mine is kailad123 mostly play team deathmatch and capture the flag.
I thought zombies came unlocked for everyone now?

[Dimnos]

I thought zombies came unlocked for everyone now?

That is what I thought too. Maybe you have to buy the map pack for that though. :\

[Tadao]

On PC zombies were unlocked after the map pack. It was a free download for us.

[Dimnos]

On PC zombies were unlocked after the map pack. It was a free download for us.

Do you guys have both map packs?

[Tadao]

I believe we have everything you have, we just have to wait like 2 months after you guys get it.

Example : The lastest patch came with Kneedeep, Station, and Nightfire + a new zombie map.

[Dimnos]

So currently you only have 2 zombie maps?

[Tadao]

Yeah 2 official ones. 20 custom ones though. :p

[Sam]

I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE MAP PACKS :(

[Dimnos]

20 custom ones though. :p

Thats it. Im buying everything on computer from now on. >:

[stevetothepast]

I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE MAP PACKS :(

The first map pack left me feeling ripped off, but now I like it other than station.

The second map pack is worth the money for sure in my opinion.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

[Fathom Zero]

IF YOU CROUCH, YOU'RE MORE ACCURATE.

[Ant10708]

Yeah 2 official ones. 20 custom ones though. :p
How are the custom maps? I'm leaning towards buying the pc version despite owning the xbox version because i figure if they keep releasing more map packs, I'd probaly end up paying close to a new game if i was dumb enough to buy the map packs. And on the pc do people exploit glitches on the zombie maps to no end like in the 360 version(making it no fun at all)

[Ant10708]

The first map pack left me feeling ripped off, but now I like it other than station.

The second map pack is worth the money for sure in my opinion. Its not worth the money because you already bought the fucking game and they are giving it away for free to pc users. SCAMS are never worth the money. fuck buying map packs and just buy your next game

I can't even play halo 3 ranked games because i dont have fucking mappacks. gayness

[stevetothepast]

I don't care about buying the map packs, developers got to get paid somehow.

[darkvare]

i'm palying animal crossing city folk anyone wanna visit my town?
pm your friend codes

[Sam]

I bought the first map pack, and now I can play Nazi Zombies and it's pretty fun. :O

[OxBlood]

My Demon's Souls finally arrived. And so far it´s awesome, a really nice game. Glad I didn´t wait till October.

[Sam]

What is your Demon's Souls? :(

[Fathom Zero]

ATLUS GAME IS HARD.

[bigtimecow]

i just played through metal gear solid and i'm going through it again. much quicker this time (thanks to stealth camo and not watching any cutscenes). slowly (but surely?) going through infamous still. and i've been chipping away at assassin's creed every now and then, but i think i'm stuck:

i have to meet with all the bureau leader people in the acre, jerusalem, and damascus. i did all that, and it says (when i hit select, on the map screen) as my objective "0/6 investigations complete... something something something... climb a view point to find them" or something to that effect. problem is, i've done all of the view points in those cities/the kingdom. so... WHAT THE HELL

i just bought LOOM on steam too :D

[OxBlood]

What is your Demon's Souls? :(

My copy of "Demon's Souls", okay, okay ;)

And up till now it wasn´t really as hard as some reviews said. It´s challenging and you have to pay attention to your enemies, sure, but hard? Nah, not if you know what you´re doing (I can only talk about the first playthrough, I´m not in the harder NG+ yet).

[Dimnos]

WHAT THE HELL

You have to do the pick pocket and eavesdropping mini-missions now. After you do enough of those something else will pop up. But let me tell you... the funnest thing to do in that game is just start killing a lot of guards and get a bunch to follow you up on top of a really high building then start throwing them off. Or find a guard who is already standing on a roof and run up behind him and shove him off and listen for the crowed below to scream. Good times. :lol

[Dimnos]

T did you ever get Fallout 3 on the PC? Were the expansions free for that one too?

[Tadao]

Yeah I got it, but I stopped playing when I got Left4Dead. I'm looking on the Fallout 3 web page and don't see any free expansion packs.

[Dimnos]

Does the PC version just not have expansions?

[MetalMilitia]

It has all the same expansions and they cost the same as far as I know.

[Tadao]

I saw the expansions available for pc on Amazon. I'm sure they are purchasable at a local software pimp.

[Tadao]

The only real time PC has an advantage like that is when the engine is open to the public and the fan base is strong. Like the days of Doom and Warcraft 2. Oh and I bet I can sight quicker with a mouse if we ever get to play 360 V pc.

[bigtimecow]

i just finished LOOM

what the fuck swans

[bigtimecow]

seeing as LOOM sucked complete balls (although i'd love to see the gameplay, using drafts/songs/spells to solve puzzles, expanded in a longer game) i'm now downloading the secret of monkey island special edition!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam]

I want to play The Dig :(

[OxBlood]

Then why don´t you play it? It´s on Steam if I´m not mistaken (note to self, buy the dig after being fed up with demon souls).

[Phoenix Gamma]

Replaying Twilight Princess for fun. The game gets a lot of crap, but I like it. Not as much as Link to the Past or Majora's Mask, but I still like it.

[Dimnos]

Twilight Princess > Ocarina of Time

GO....

[darkvare]

Twilight Princess > Ocarina of Time

GO....
i liked twilight princess but hated wind waker

[Dimnos]

Oh.. I liked Wind waker even more than I liked Twilight Princess. :(

For me its like

Link to the Past = Wind Waker > Twilight Princess = Majoras Mask > Legend of Zelda = Ocarina of Time > all the other ones.

I might even say Legend was better than Ocarina just because its the original and retro.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Link to the Past is my absolute favorite. Nothing wrong with that game.

Majora's Mask is second; the world was dense and the side stories fleshed everything out. More Zeldas need to be that experimental (it was dark, twisted, and the game structure was really different, even today).

Wind Waker's nice and all, but sailing sucks balls, and the Triforce Quest is the worst fetch quest in the history of videogames (find 8 maps, payover 3000 rupees, sail for a few hours to find the 8 pieces. Okay you can play the rest of the game now).

Legend has aged horribly. You need a guide to beat that game; there's no way to figure that shit out yourself. "Grumble Grumble"?! How the hell am I supposed to know that means to go find a shop on the other side of the world and buy meat?

The handheld games don't get enough love, though. Awakening was awesome, and the Oracle games were really, really cool. Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass were a little disappointing, though.

[stevetothepast]

Link to the Past is the best in the series in my opinion.

[Dimnos]

Link to the Past is my absolute favorite. Nothing wrong Everything is perfect with that game.


Link to the Past is the best in the series in my opinion.

Link to the Past is the pentacle of Zelda games. The only way it could get better than that is to possibly do a precise 3D remake with Twilight Princes graphics.

I LOVED sailing in Windwaker! That you had to sail around to all these different islands was a fresh change for the series I thought. The fact that I love sailing in real life probably contributed to my thoughts on that though. Without a doubt though Windwaker had the BEST ending ever!

4wHEgTA5iLE

[bigtimecow]

i have to second/third/fourth? about LTTP. actually, i'd probably say that it's my favorite snes game ever, as well as the best zelda game. but, as cool as a 3D remake would look, it would actually detract from gameplay. i feel like seeing the top-down view of an entire (or most of) a room contributed to the puzzles. unless they just amped up the graphics but kept the camera angle

nah that would still suck

after having finished LOOM and now playing through monkey island for the one billionth time (btw, everyone fucking buy it. it's perfecccccccccccccccct) i might try out the dig. it got a lot of crappy reviews, at least compared to lucasfilms other adventure games. however, as long as it's better/longer than LOOM then i'll pay the 5 bucks for it

edit with actually editing: nevermind i'm just fucking buying it

[Guitar Woman]

Windwaker is the peak of the Zelda series and somewhere deep down I always knew that :<

I didn't want to accept it and I let Nintendo cocktease me with Twilight Princess for three years, but when I played it finally it was so awful that it felt like they'd just given up on the franchise entirely.

I don't blame them, though, I certainly have.

As for LTTP I played it to completion once then never touched it again. It was ok, Link's Awakening was better.

[Guitar Woman]

God, Link's Awakening is such a fucking good game.

I should play it now, even!

ADDENDENDEUNDUDNEUM: Upon reflection, my favorite part of Link to the Past is making the Dark World trees give Link a blowjob.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I LOVED sailing in Windwaker! That you had to sail around to all these different islands was a fresh change for the series I thought. The fact that I love sailing in real life probably contributed to my thoughts on that though. Without a doubt though Windwaker had the BEST ending ever!

Nothing happened when you sailed. You outran all the enemies, and even if you fought them, it was pretty frustrating. I set the controller down and played LttP while I waited to play Wind Waker again. If the ocean was a little smaller, I wouldn't have minded so much. Stabbing Ganondorf in the head was neat, but the ending was such a downer. Should have made all of Hyrule explorable after you got the Triforce. Or drained the ocean after you rang the bell at the top of the tower. Either way, fuck the fetch quest.

Plus, everyone's faces were really creepy. What I'm really waiting for is a cel-shaded Zelda that looks like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/PGamma/1230471402352.jpg

Just got the Master Sword in TP. I'm finding myself liking Midna more than last time (not that I hated her; I liked her then, too), and I'm noticing all of the little details they added in the dungeons and towns. One of my favorites is the old, opened chest in thew Sacred Grove, which was opened by you when you warp back in to the Temple of Time. Clever little details like that is always neat to find. Wind Waker had a lot of that hidden in the castle and on the pirate ship that you just wouldn't find unless you took a good look around.

[Guitar Woman]

YE LUBBERS DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHEN IT'S JUST YE

AND THE SEA

Most of the time when I was going somewhere in WindWaker I'd get sidetracked by an island or a sea tower or a submarine, and I'd go and wreck their shit Errol Flynn style and then jump back into my boat and sail off loaded down with booty. It's the only good pirate game to date, and that's a big part of why I love it.

[bigtimecow]

It's the only good pirate game to date, and that's a big part of why I love it.

That I've played, I mean

DO YOU EVEN SACK OUTPOSTS IN MONKEY ISLAND? NO? FUCK OFF

[Dimnos]

I totally see where GW is coming from with that. Monkey Island is a great pirate themed adventure game but you dont actually get to do much pirating if any at all. You dont get to board someones ship and wreck the place up and make off with their loot. Guybrush is too obsessed with the tang.

Damn that came back to blow up in my face. I forgot all about that kick ass game of kicking ass! :\

[Dimnos]

What have you been playing mostly in WaW anyway Sam? Deathmatch? Capture the flag? Zombies?

[Tadao]

On 360 W@W do you guys have Tactical Crouch Only Deathmatch Servers? Like no run and gun and no jumping, no blind fire or blind grenades?

[Dimnos]

I dont think so. We have a hardcore but I think that just makes you die faster and takes away the kill cam. How do you get rid of run and gun and blind fire?

[Tadao]

You have server mods who kick and ban people who don't follow the rules ;)

[Sam]

I like to play the zombies and I really just started the multiplayer so I am still in Boot Camp. :(

[Dimnos]

I just prestiged. You might be higher level then me.

but right now i'm stuck
brink died and me and robbins split up. i have 2 engraved rods (one which i can look at and it shows 4 shapes [the same shapes that are used to apparently unlock certain doors?]) found a bracelet using the strange blue orb "device", and the blue crystal which is apparently some kind of light source. i'm trying not to use a guide but if you guys help me that's okay :D

Sorry. I never played that one. Do you have a free DL?

It's like $5 on Steam.

New PC patch for W@W, just got map pak2 ;)

[M. Blaze]

Sam & Max Save The World, which I downloaded from Xbox Live a few days ago and started playing today (been busy with Ninja Gaiden II and The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition). I really should have bought this for the PC or Wii years ago because it's awesome, but better late than never, I guess.

Maybe I should also go back to Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis... I got that from Steam last week, played it for a while and then ended up getting stuck. I'm sure the solution to the particular puzzle is completely obvious, though, it usually is.

[executioneer]

But... CAN YOU RUN IT? (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest)

of course i can RUN it but i didnt pass the recommended tab, hence the "HOW BADLY" part. plus i doubt sysrequirementslab can detect the glitch my videocard has developed since i took it apart to clean the fan :(

[executioneer]

(this glitch is the main reason i haven't d/led any s.t.a.l.k.e.r. mods- that's the only game that's really affected so far, it crashes it on the title screen usually :( )

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Star Ocean: The last hope. Rented it for now but thinking about buying it. I loved SO2 but didn't play much of 3 at all. Last hope is a lot of fun so far. The voice acting isn't terrible and the battle system is pretty fun. Real time combat with visible enemies on the field map. Once you run into an enemy it switches to a battle screen seperate of the field map. It just doesn't seem like a any rpgs do that anymore.

[OxBlood]

I stopped playing Star Ocean: tlh after around 15 hours, don´t really know why, but I guess it has something to do with the fact that my 360 is SO fucking loud I can hardly hear anything else in the room, and I am NOT exaggerating. My hairdryer makes less noise but I don´t want to shell out another 100 bucks to get a new 360. Stupid piece of electronic junk.

Apart from that, I actually had fun with battlefield heroes yesterday...funny little game.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

We barely use the XBOX so its still in good condition. Only spent about 30-50 hours on RE5 and about 3 on Soul Calibur 4.

[Dimnos]

How far into the last hope are you 10k? I picked it up about a week ago and played it for a about an hour. I have been busy playing other stuff and havent really got a chance to pick it back up yet.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have 3 chars now and just left the first planet. I'm in space on the way to a new one. I've just been battling to get items so I can synth better equipment. My smithing is level 4 now. I had to relearn how to blindside enemies and how to use the bonus board. I was kinda sleepy when I went through the battle simulator the first time around.

[Dimnos]

Do you get to pilot the ship at all? Or chose what planet to go to next or anything like that?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I don't know yet. So far some guy was like, "This is the next closest planet we can get to so we'll auto-pilot it there." It would be nice if you could just cruise around though,

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Before you leave the first planet get as much iron as you can and level up smithing.

[Guitar Woman]

Metroid Prime!

I forgot how great all the lore is, especially in the second one.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Waiting for the Wii rerelease. I liked the Gamecube games at the time (well, not really. Whatever) but afterplaying Prime 3, Prime 1 was really hard to play.

Wii Sports Resort was leaked yesterday. I'm glad there's a little more substance to the whole package, even though a couple of the games are a little shallow (and dumb. When did anyone ever use their hands to pedal a bike?) I like flying around the most :D

[Guitar Woman]

I had a hard time getting back into the gamecube controls, too, but when I did, they're way, way, way, way, way better than the waggle homo shit Corruption pulls.

I still can't get past the SCRUNCH-O-VISION visor borders at the edges of the screen, though.

[darkvare]

i got red steel for 29 pesos meaning 2 dollars 20 cents but im triying to exchange it for time splitters 2 cause it really sux

[Phoenix Gamma]

I had a hard time getting back into the gamecube controls, too, but when I did, they're way, way, way, way, way better than the waggle homo shit Corruption pulls.

Wot? You mean aiming without standing in place and holding R? The Gamecube controls just make Samus' tank-like movement that much more obvious. The only real waggle Corruption uses is the grapple beam (which I like, actually) and the switches. The rest is just pointing and shooting.

It'll make the bullshit fights against the Chozo Ghosts way less frustrating. And to a lesser extent, Space Pirate fights, though that only frustrated me because the Space Pirtate Theme is so goddamn awful that I wanted the fights to be done with.

[Guitar Woman]

It could also be that Prime 1 and 2 are just better games than Corruption. :/

Also, I got Diablo 2.

Holy shit, what a badass opening cinematic.

[Tadao]

:rolleyes

[Guitar Woman]

ORIGINAL WAS BETTER

[El Renardo]

Me and my stepbrother recently got an NES emulator and we were trying to beat the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (you know, the one where you try to kick Shredder's arse with all of your four turtles), but after creating many saving points and losing all of our continues before the dreaded "Technodrome", we concluded that the game was next to impossible to beat without the Game Genie, although we tried our damnedest.

[Phoenix Gamma]

It could also be that Prime 1 and 2 are just better games than Corruption. :/

brb, looking for a million fucking keys

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

emulators are lame for the save state reason.

[El Renardo]

emulators are lame for the save state reason.
They only have the save state to appeal to newer gamers, unfortunately.
To be honest, I didn't even know that there were emulators for the older systems until I started visiting I-Mockery, which was only a couple months ago. I just stuck to hooking up a NES that I've had since I was 5 and playing the few games that I still had for it, including the aforementioned TMNT as well as Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and Hogan's Alley. Yup, my Light Gun still works after all of these years, having shot the hell out of those thugs and cans and the occasional civilian who'd look like a thug to me.

[MrSmiley381]

I've been playing MadWorld a bit. Pretty fun, but I wish the bosses had a bit more character to them instead of being hopeless chumps I slaughter.

I bought M.U.S.H.A. on Virtual Console since I don't feel like shelling out the cash for a hard copy (yet) and holy crap is it amazing.

Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman, What Did I Do To Deserve This? is really interesting. There's a lot more strategy than I initially realized.

I'm about to start playing WipEout HD Fury. I hear it's absolutely radtacular.

Yeah, I'm playing a lot of games all over the place.

I've been meaning to pick up M.U.S.H.A but I always regret paying for that type of games.

Me and my stepbrother recently got an NES emulator and we were trying to beat the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (you know, the one where you try to kick Shredder's arse with all of your four turtles), but after creating many saving points and losing all of our continues before the dreaded "Technodrome", we concluded that the game was next to impossible to beat without the Game Genie, although we tried our damnedest.

i beat it w/o an emulator, you just suck at video games

monkey island is beat, i'm losing interest in the dig, BUT i just got braid and its awessoooooooome

in the infamous world, i'm almost at the 3rd island, have 260/350 blast shards, and holy fucking fucking crap is this game hard (like you didn't already know that)

I beat it on hard so I traded it in, and a couple other games. I bought Battlefield 1943 (quite fun) and am saving my other $20 PSN to get MvC2 in ~2 weeks.

emulators are lame for the save state reason.

Depends on how you use it.

I'm not sitting down and playing Mario or Sonic in one sitting. Also, the first two Zeldas can't save properly because you need to hold reset when you power down.

I'm getting ready to buy a PS3 because I am tired of my Xbox 360 fucking up whenever I try and play a new game. :tear

You must be breathing on it too much. Stop breathing. It might overheat and die.

Almost at the end of Twilight Princess. On the last dungeon right now. I remember being bummed about getting "just another Clawshot". Now I realize how the auto-lock on lets Link zip from one point to another almost instantly. That, and hanging onto the sides of the giant spinning fans is just awesome.

Fuck the Oocco things, though. I hate them so much >:

[Sam]

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

[kahljorn]

Also, I got Diablo 2.

Holy shit, what a badass opening cinematic.

:lol I like how guitar woman can make anything ridiculous

[Guitar Woman]

Get ready to be disappointed with the entire last hour of the game, PS
