Just beat Resident Evil 6 in like a day and a half "All 3 story modes" It suckedddd! Anyway, yesterday my girlfriend was at a thrift shop and randomly bought the original Syphon Filter for Ps1, so I think I'm gonna give that a play through.

Playing through FF VI Advance now.
At Level 38 I've gotten Gilgamesh, Leviathen, and Jumbo Cactuar. Max Damage Phantom/Bum Rush makes these fights rather simple. :p
I just went and bought Diablo III for a nice price, so I'll be playing through that with some friends. Otherwise I've wanted to play through FFVIII, IX, X and XII, and catch up on some Steam games like Skyrim and Batman Arkham City.
I'm still stuck on New Vegas and I like it a lot. I got a little bored with the main quest line but then I found the Brotherhood and it opened up some interesting new quest lines that grabbed me again. I like it a lot more than FO3, which was a good game in its own right but wasn't quite in the same league as the old Fallouts. NV captures the FO1/2 feel a lot more.
edit: Also added Rayman Origins to the list. LOVE it. Everyone should check it out.
Most of my FO:NV experience thus far has involved me buggering away from the main quest and going around exploring, shooting things, and selling loot for caps. It's fun. :)
I pre-ordered Fire Emblem: Awakening, so I'll be playing that in about two weeks. As for now, I'm planning on beating BioShock on Hard with Vita-Chambers off for my final achievement in that game. I also played through Darksiders last week, along with regularly playing NBA 2K13, Forza Horizon, Happy Wars, and Gotham City Impostors. I'm probably not going to start up any time-intensive games until I return to college at the end of this weekend.
Mass Effect 2
(SPOILER)I just recruited a geth! Things are getting finally interesting.
Ni No Kuni now, and I am pleased thus far.
I am currently playing Final Fantasy VII.
Finished Mass Effect 2, now on to the 3rd one!
I've been playing okami... and I come bearing bad news.
I've beaten this game roughly 500 times on both the Wii and the PS2 as a kid, and I hadn't picked it up in years.
So I did, and this is my verdict.
The combat is AMAZING as expected, very fast, fluid, while still offering a lot of time for creativity and style to be thrown into the mix. Getting demon fangs is always a nice challenge past orochi, since you need to find the right trick for each monster, and some arent so easy to pull off.
The artstyle is well... it's okami, jesus man. It's gorgeous, moving on.
Issun.
Issun....
Good God Issun.
I hate this freaking bug. I hate him. I want to feed him to ninetails or orochi. He's the WORST videogame sidekick in any game I've ever played.
He never shuts up,he NEVER SHUTS UP. He repeats what just happened two minutes ago in the story as if we need the reminder, he makes the same jokes a million times in a row until each successive joke makes you want to give yourself a lobotomy. He never lets you solve any puzzles for yourself, as he is quite keen to interrupt you constantly to give you the answer. Never tips, just answers. I actually think Issun has more lines than the rest of the characters ingame combined.
Yeah, and people say Navi is bad. They don't know true pain. At least navi LETS you ignore her tips. Issun shoves them right in your face, with unskippable textboxes.
Overall, this game would be PERFECT without issun. The characters are really colorful, the stories solid, the environments varied, the combats fun. Everything is amazing. I just.... god dammit issun...
Endless Swan
My only complaint is that there just wasn't enough of it.
Alright I'm trying Oblivion again.
The speechcraft minigame is amazing and I ran around the Imperial City for like two hours getting everyone's disposition with me to max just so I had an excuse to play it.
Very well said. I believe Okami would be a perfect game if it would use visuals only. It would even fit the theme perfectly, as you'd be a wolf who doesn't understand man-language.
So dump the excessive library of redundant text, get rid of Issun and boom, perfect game.
Edit: making you fight every boss again at the end is pretty freaking trout too. It's just filler. :colbert:
Edit 2: Just running around is the greatest thing about Okami. Just run, white wolf, run!
Edit 3: Ok, now I'm getting myself pissed about how developers sometimes just don't realize what makes their game fun. RantRunning around is great. Combat is great. Making miracles happen is great. The painting mechanic is great. But how great would it be to make these miracles happen without a 5 minute prelude of how and why these should happen? The talking is what's not fun about Okami. It enslaves you. People ask, you make it happen. That's not being a god, that's being a boy who runs errands. As a wolf god I want to observe and find solutions myself because my miracles are happenings that are not explainable by humans. The whole game would be one big secret finding/mystery solving puzzle. Why didn't you get this, Clover, WHY?
Completely agreed pete
Hell, considering how much of this game is based on legend of Zelda mechanics a silent protagonist would fit in perfectly.
Whats funny is, with issun gone, the ingame scrolls and tips the game gives you would be all the more clever
Besides, all of the jokes in okami about the babes ammy makes perfectly fine as a silent wolf than issun makes with text. Hell, ammys reactions are always way more amusing.
I do wish a lot of the miracles castes felt leas like errands and more like divine intervention like its meant to feel
Its such a damn shame
Oh well, ill stil put 60+ hours into this playthrough anyways :p
Ng+ lets you skip all the text thankfully
Speechcraft was hilarious. Maybe it's why I didn't get into Skyrim? I remember playing it intoxicated once and just really thought about the mechanism behind it and just cracked up. It was fun to be able to manipulate people into liking you.
Speaking of manipulating people, New Vegas. I updated Steam yesterday and it ran like crap and it made me so sad. I'm trying to kill the Van Graffs for the Brotherhood, which is hard enough without the game lagging like a mofo.
BTW, the Van Graffs are tough as hell.
Path of Exile
I downloaded this online ARPG yesterday and I am level 17 right now already. This game is a lot of fun and in my opinion the real sequel to Diablo 2, although the story is not the same.
The customization system is really deep, you can choose from hundreds of passive skills as you level up and you can use active skills when you place a gem in your weapon/armor.
The art style really feels like it was from Diablo 1,2 unlike Diablo 3 where it is more cartoony in my opinion. The skill animations look great and the game itself is pretty challenging. I just finished Act 1 and the boss was quite tough, I at least had some help from another guy.
So if you are disappointed with Diablo 3 and are a fan of Diablo 2, I would suggest you to check it out. Most of the players I have met in game say the same things as I mentioned above.
The game is Free to Play and will stay that way. Developers also mentioned that the game will never be Pay2Win.
I forgot to mention that the game is in Open Beta right now, but there will be no more wipes and the game works flawlessly.
Here is the website: Path of Exile
And the trailer: Path of Exile Open Beta Trailer
I am so addicted to it right now! Finally a new game that runs like an old game.:lol:
i never had any problem with the text in okami
the voice synths were weird but i got used to them
i thought it fit the world fine
Just played a round of DotA2 with some dude on my friends list who I could've sworn was bert. Bert, what's your Steam name? Even bigger question is who the hell this dude is...
About 11 hours into Morrowind. I was dying to play it and at first it was sublime, especially with all the Tamriel lore you're instantly in the middle of, but it's really rough. Mods can only take it so far. Travelling is tough. I do like all the political intrigue, something that was completely absent from Oblivion. And none of the dungeons are anywhere near as horrible as the Oblivion gates, so that's also a plus. But I won't lie, there's a lot of things I miss. I kinda think it's an FFVI situation, where if you played it first, your expectations for the rest are through the roof, but if you started with the later ones, it's that much harder to live without the polish and fluidity. Still, Oblivion built up slow until I couldn't pull myself away from it, I'm sure Morrowind will be the same.
I used a travel map until I memorized everything. It made my life a million times easier. http://fessicsfavorites.files.wordpr...travel-map.jpg
Hiking it out to the Ashlander camps can still be a pain in the rear, but that's Morrowind for you!
Juggling FFX, Dark Souls, Okami (with le gf) and thinking of starting a new game of Bully. I seriously haven't touched that game since I first finished it back in 2006.
Damn thanks Pike!
KH:3D. :D
Finished New Game Plus on Batman: Arkham City and have done all the main campaign quests (all collectables was a bitch), can't be arsed with the challenges though so I'm done with that game. It feels good to say that considering how long I spent on it. x_x
Played the demo of The Cave with Danielle, and it was really fun so I can see us buying it before the month is through. For now, though, I've returned to Football Manager 2012 and carried on where I left off with F.C. United in the Premier League (having worked them all the way up from Northern Premier League, the seventh tier in the UK league system). The game year is now 2020 so I've done very well, and since returning to my game I've taken them from 17th (four games in) to 6th (something like six games to go), so I might get into the Europa League on my first run in the PL, which is immense. Especially when you consider I have a 12,000 seater stadium and am financially stable. xD Just been very good/lucky with my signings, really. Still, want to get my club into an even healthier position and grow the stadium over the years so fingers crossed it'll keep working out.
Good effort Bob, I had to give up my addiction to football manager games years ago.
I could literally spend an entire 24 hours on there without the need for food or sleep.
Ha! I know what you mean. It's also a good game to throw a weekend away on in that you can play it at your own pace. Sure, the weekend is gone, but you don't get really annoyed at how you really want to get to that next bit of the game but you have to go to work and blah blah blah. I hate leaving in the middle of a story, I guess. When I finally got back to playing VI/XII, I had to restart them because I didn't want to just pick up where I left off. With Football Manager 2012, I can leave it for a year, return and just carry on. I even remembered a lot of the players - although I did get a surprise as I'd completely forgotten about nicknaming my assistant manager 'Captain Planet'. :p
Mass Effect 3
What a powerful beginning. :eek:
Been playing Paper Mario: Sticker Star for awhile.
Final Fantasy VI. I had never gotten past the three scenario's part (not far at all) so it's all pretty new to me and I am very much enjoying the game so far :jess:. Finally got my first espers and just met Setzer.
2nd x playing Resident Evil, and now i have discovered that Leon can shoot with 2 weapons...
wich kinda sucks since i now play with Helena!!
buuuuuut soon my bf will have re6 to, so i will play it with him :D... as leon!... with 2 guns :O
what i noticed:
Chris: where the hell is the ammo? im always through it no mather how thrifty i am.
Jake: just enough ammo the whole game through. Perfect!
Leon: Shut up and take this ammo!! *drowns in ammo*
DC Universe Online
smurf
whyyy
it's ... pretty good tho
pvp, level 13 villain fire user flier girl. the only choice i regret is the personality, shame you can't mod that, i went with wild or whatever, didn't even remember i did it when i was picking.
named her Midnight Oil
keeping it real
i took pix
pix soon
DARK SOULS. :bigsmile:
...almost...
Plunged into Mass Effect, and its actually been a blast.
I beat the Oblivion main quest and moved on to the Shivering Isles expac which is about a million times better than the Oblivion main quest so far.
Very glad you're doing the Shivering Isles. It's easily the best part of the game.
Have you done the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines yet?
Nope, and to be honest I probably won't because I'm already planning my next two Morrowind playthroughs...
You are a bumhole and a fool.
You are a bumfool.
:shobon:
I wouldn't suggest sacrificing Morrowind playtime for them, though. I still haven't come to terms with just how good Morrowind is compared to Oblivion.
Started playing Path of Exile on hardcore mode. I got to the final boss of act 1, and am no longer playing in hardcore mode. :<
Trilogy pack, since the main reason I've avoided the games was because I couldn't get access to the first game. I'm playing a Male Shephard, Renegade, and Soldier class. I believe I'm on the mission to acquire my last crew mate.
Not that I'd ever encourage playing Oblivion over Morrowind, but I'd say give those quest lines a try sometime. The Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild had some of the best quests in Oblivion. Hell, the Thieves Guild quests pretty much end with you breaking into the Imperial Palace and stealing an Elder Scroll.
The games what? 6 or 7 years old? I'm not too concerned with spoiling things at this point. Plus, how else was I supposed to get across the fact that those missions are pretty cool?
Just finished my second prestige on my Steam copy of Black Ops II multiplayer. Really enjoying the game again, especially coming up with classes.
Finished the Fourth Trial in Morrowind, gonna see if I can wrap up the fifth tonight.
once you get to Ice Cavern, turn off the game audio and crank up this little gem http://www.filedropper.com/umamiinice Not as good as Umami in my Mind, but still
Morrowind finished. Will probably play Tribunal because it's kinda an extension of the Main Story? Is that right? Will also probably play Bloodmoon so I get nostalgia when I eventually play Dragonborn. But now I'm off to the Shivering Isles.
Slowly playing through both Ni No Kuni and Septerra Core.
Protip: Both are good, but Septerra is better. :p
I made that post in 2010!
...still, despite that, I can't remember if I've reached the Ice Cavern yet. ^_^; The game just doesn't hold my attention. I blame X-Men comics being readable from my phone, meaning I don't play on my PSP much if at all anymore.
Pokemon ruby to get the hang of it again before I nuzlocke emerald for the second time~
Going back to my modded Oblivion and playing the Shivering Isles has been pure bliss.
I'm back in Dark Souls! Woohoo!
May have spent the last five hours playing. It's now 3AM. No regrets.
DRAGONBORN IS SO GOOD
I beat it and it's the best thing. Morrowind Fan Service: The Game. Must-play for anyone who has played Morrowind and especially Bloodmoon.
I currently got my hands on the Zone of Enders HD collection and am playing through the first one. I've never played these before. It's pretty fun.
I'm caught up in two games known as "Curse out my university's Internet network for crapping out on a daily basis," and "Bitch about how my copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening hasn't even shipped yet." When I'm not too busy with those two, I'm mainly playing NBA 2K13 for fun, filling out the Pokédex in White 2, and boosting to tenth prestige in World at War because there's no other way to do it. With the monster snowstorm about to slam into my area over the next few days, I'll probably sink my teeth into something like Dust: An Elysian Tail.
Attachment 40095
Just finished a 10 minute battle of nonstop "glares" and my party hitting themselves to death.
For now I am beta testing Defiance, playing Final Fantasy 9, 1 and 6. XIII-2 is being held off for a little while.
Assassin's Creed III and Resident Evil 6 (but slowly)
Come join me on multilayer. :bigsmile:
Xbox Live gamertag: Shiny McHeiny
I like Blue, Green, Red, ...... and Mike.
Started on FFIII(DS version) and Rage.
lmao, I name EVERY main character Mike. The only game I never changed the main character's name in was Super Mario RPG, because you can't just go and change Mario's name. I didn't really care for the other 3 names, so I named them the color they were as onion knights.
Last Steam summer sale I picked up Heroes of Might & Magic V for a few bucks and never booted it up. I just tried it and this game is really cool! Definitely my kind of RPG/strategy hybrid.
JOURNEY. I LOVE YOU.
Tempted to pick up this gem again.
Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness Music- Miror B. Battle - YouTube
Downloaded Journey yesterday.
Picked up Ni No Kuni today.
Hopefully these will finally drag me away from my precious Dark Souls :stare:
Just finished The Witcher 1 prologue. Pretty cool game, we'll see how long it holds my attention.
Finished Mass Effect 1 last night and after some silly drama caused by my own ineptitude, I can now go into Mass Effect 2 all happy. When I'm at school, I'm playing Vagrant Story on my PSP.
Finished off Sly 4, and now I'm not really playing anything. O_O
This is an odd feeling....
Update on the above: Got into the Europa League, crashed out in the second stage of the knockout rounds if I recall correctly. Finished that season 4th in the PL (yay goal difference) and that got me Champions League. Up to a 20,000 seater and with a bunch of new signings, I got given AC Milan in the Round of 16 after topping my group (PSG/Valencia/Dinamo Kiev) and lost 2-0 away and won 1-0 at home, bugger. In the PL, things are going great - 1st with a 9 point gap and have only lost two games in about 26 or so (both recent, after a 32 game unbeaten run) - Manchester United away (fair enough) and Spurs at home (damn). Still, should win - Arsenal and United are vying for second. Also, just noticed Spurs won the CL a few seasons back. If that isn't weird, I don't know what is. Currently spending all my cash on boosting my youth side so I can get a very strong home grown group of players, and it's slowly but surely paying off.
Got back into WoW again.
Other than that still working my way through the Dark Notes in Theatrhythm.
... and here is a picture of BoB in three months time after spending 170 hours straight on Football Manager...
Attachment 40526
Diablo 3 with a friend, not too bad. ^_^
Finished Mass Effect 3 but I could not get enough of it, so I got the DLCs and I play the game again from the save prior to final mission. One of my favourite series now, the story is soo....... :drool:.
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, with all content, are now downloading. Very slowly. Must be averaging about 60kb/s. 1GB of BG1 done, though, only 3GB left in total. :D
March of the Eagles is pretty fun because I can play as France and stop all over Britain and make them cry and make Huxley squirm.
Dark Cloud 2
I was able to beat New Vegas the other day, as well as Old World Blues. I kinda want to check out the other DLC too before I put it to bed. It's probably my favorite RPG I've played since Human Revolution.
lol.. resident evil 6.. 3rd time in a row... but now with my bf ^^
I just beat FF3 again, FF4 AGAIN, FF4: The Interlude (which disappointed me), and now I'm playing FF4: The After Years for the first time. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of how they did it in chapters, but its pretty suspenseful and makes me want to keep playing.
...I gotta find a job.
played through zelda: oot and majora's mask last week. probably gonna play through MM again without worrying about doing everything in the game
or maybe castlevania sotn

GFWL is seriously the worst service on PC. But on the plus side, I found out that I really miss Rapture, and I super enjoy taking it in from a Big Daddy's perspective. But god damn GFWL.
Started the 4 monsters + Ramza playthrough on Final Fantasy Tactics. I am currently at the 2nd Miluda fight. I can't get past it! I think I need to level up more.
Civ 2. Built or bought almost all the Wonders, and have entered a Fundamentalist government. Currently have more money than God. I have begun my conquest of the world, though am hampered by the fact that I'm not very good at fighting. Fortunately, I have more money than God, so have taken to buying enemy armies and all enemy cities.
Feels good, man.
Will start Alpha Centauri when I want to alienate my friends.
The correct way to play Alpha Centauri is to boot it up immediately after winning a Civ 2 science victory.
On Sunday, I played something with an NDA slapped all over it.
Tonight, I play Tomb Raider.
Tomorrow? THE WORLD!!!
What's a science victory in Civ 2 like?
Oh yeah, the spaceship thing. I intend to grab that, naturally.
When I was a kid playing Civ 2 I always wanted a science victory and never smurfing achieved it because I was just too bloodthirsty. Hell, on Civ 1 as an 8 year old I was too bloodthirsty to even make it to tanks.
I did it once on the PlayStation version (for reference I had PC, Mac and PlayStation versions of Civ 2 and all three were different!) a couple of years back though.
Atelier Ayesha dropped today, so that's what I shall be playing! Huzzah!
Science victory was the most common form of victory for me. Not really intentional, I'm just a slow mover when it comes to taking over the world... I tend to opt for rushing science and wonders early in the game while being relatively peaceful, then swamping the world with tanks the moment I unlock them (often well ahead of everyone else due to the science rush) and then start rolling them out... but the science rush and wonders leave me advancing so fast and then the wonders run out and all my places have built everything there is bar "MORE UNITS" and I start on the spaceship and... victory!
I've been playing Fable 3, it was the last thing I bought on steam before I went on holiday, it's alright I suppose. Passes the time effectively.
Juggling Ni No Kuni and Dark Souls, though I also want to collect all white sparkly things in Journey. Plus surf the sanddunes in that fantastic downhill level.
Pretty much this.
Only changes when the AI decides to frell with me (they get suicidal), and I wind up wiping them out just so they'll leave me alone.
In Master of Orion 2 I wind up eventually nearly annihilating every other civilization and blockading their sole remaining planet just so they won't wipe each other out. After all, I can't win a diplomatic victory with only two or three races alive, and I'm certainly not going to vote myself victor until I'm good and ready.
Oh, right, and I'm still playing Fire Emblem Awakening. Only one more Lunatic chapter before I open up DLC grinding.
Moving away from console games and into DnD if I didn't mention it already.
That's essentially what I'm doing in Civ 2. The other civilisations are annoying me, so I'm going to take every city bar their capital and barricade them inside until I'm good and ready to finish the game.
in an hour or so i will start with Tomb raider :D
Continuing my playthrough of FFT, I am at the last battle of chapter 2.... It is tough, but I luckily recruited a dragon when leveling. :cool:
Borderlands 2, ArmA 2/dayZ, dotA 2, Portal 2, TF2, Half-Life 2/HL2:DM.
All my games that I'm currently playing are 2.
Been playing through the New Vegas DLC (finished Dead Money yesterday), played through HL2 and Episode 1 again, and Mystic Quest of course.
Just finished The Witcher, good game!
At home: Tomb Raider (2013)
On the Go: Final Fantasy (Origins Remake)
I am currently playing the new Tomb Raider and also beta testing Neverwinter.
I think it's great so far. It's true, gameplay hardly resembles classic Tomb Raider, but it's not really like Uncharted in terms of gameplay either (parkour isn't really part of it, there's not a heavy focus on shooting, and none of the platforming is done for you like it is in Uncharted). It does have shootouts here and there and the occasional QTE, but the game is far more about finding stuff, hunting and surviving than it is shooting people, and when you do shoot people, it's presented as a method of survival, strictly self-defense, and is never glorified. In fact, there are moments when the game really feels like action/adventure meets survival horror.
If you like action/adventure games, or liked either of the aforementioned franchises, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
Ni No Kuni when I'm at home.
Temple Run 2 when I'm at work. What?
I've heard pretty positive views all round in regards to this game. If I wasn't ridiculously skint trying to save for my holiday I'd definitely pick this up straight away. I've been dropping hints to my girlfriend (who has money to burn) whenever the advert comes on TV that I would love to get this game. It would tide me over nicely until The Last of Us is released.
I think it has more shooting than DMKA implies, but he's right in that it's a different feeling in that you feel like you're doing it for the sake of survival rather than in Uncharted when you're doing it as part of a push into enemy territory for great treasure. But yeah, there are moments when you'll do a lot of shooting or beating people up or whatever. Either way, I would say it's a really good game that deserves to be played.
Man you guys. Euro Truck Sim is fantastic. So is Beat Hazard. OMG BEAT HAZARD IS SO FUN. It's a shmup but set to your own music :jess:
Pokémon Black 2.
Pokédex: Seen: 649; Caught: 649
Pokémon Master Cecelia
Infamous 2 and InFamous: Harvest of Blood. My save file on 2 was corrupted or had a bug where the game would freeze EVERY time I was doing a main mission so I could not progress. It took me this long to recover, almost 2 years, so I am starting from scratch and picked up Festival of Blood because I did not know if it contained spoilers to what happens after 2 or not.
Ni No Kuni will be played later on.
Tomb Raider has been put on hiatus for me because of the stupid parachute section that I can't beat.
Heh, yeah, I wasn't as far into the game as I am now when I wrote that. There are quite a few fight/shooting segments, I realize now, but they're still presented in such a way that they blend perfectly into the rest of the game's survival theme.
I haven't finished it yet, but if it stays this good through the end, it's easily one of my new favorite games.
Just picked up the Mass Effect Trilogy for cheap cheap, so gonna play 1+2 again and then I'll finally be able to play 3 for the first time :D
I'm playing Tomb Raider as well. I think I'm about 40% of the way through it. IT's pretty good. I don't like how blatant the "secret tombs" are though. They're standing right out in the open and the screen shoots this at my face:
Thanks for ruining the "secret".Quote:
SECRET TOMB NEARBY
Additionally I would like if there was a bit more variety in the fighting animations. Shooting a guy's legs out with the bow is awesome, but after seeing Lara pull the same bigass rock out of nowhere as a finisher 20 times in a few hours, it gets old.
Some of the setpiece parts annoy me a bit as well. There are a lot of parts where it seems like you're inches away from death (crossing a log over a cliff, climbing a massive and broken ladder, etc.), but it takes from the immersion a bit when you realize you're not actually doing anything except holding the control stick in one direction and watching Lara freak out.
I do really enjoy the atmosphere of the game and the graphics are pretty great. I also like the depth and variety present in enemy conversations. Though I have some criticisms of it, I am enjoying it overall.
I've been bouncing around between Morrowind: Tribunal, Diablo III, Dota 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, feeling lost now that I beat The Witcher... :freak:
Halo 4;
It's not as great as Reach was by any means, but it's still not anywhere near bad. I enjoyed the campaign thoroughly and found the dual online (War Games & Spartan Ops) experiences to be vastly entertaining in different ways. And while I miss the armor abilities from Reach and the way it handled I still enjoy the new abilities and I'm slowly adjusting to the variances in movement. On the plus side from bad changes there's considerably more unlockables such as armor, additional names to show ability and the weapon loadouts have improved greatly, we're talking full customization here. So all in all I miss Bungie's particular flair but these new guys have done a Class A job with the series we know and love.
8/10
ive started Tomb Raider.. so far im not that impressed about the gameplay type , perhaps its a little to not-tomb raider'ish..
But its only the beginning, so i hope ill find it better later on :o
Darksiders
Its awesome! Being a fan of Devil May Cry, I approve. This game is even badasser than DMC I think, but that's my opinion. I am about an half-way through. It is pretty challenging so far.
Tomb Raider
Absolutely love it, I've been playing it non stop today and I have basically zero complaints.
Startin a game of Dota 2 with Vivi right.... now!
That game was pretty great. It was a shame you had to leave, but we did end up winning in the end. Might have to step it up to some harder bots once I try a few more heroes out.
Pushing toward finishing Fallout 3, I've owned the game the longest for my PS3 and never got around to beating it, and my OCD took over.
Still playing Vagrant Story on PSP, getting close to the end.
Rune Factory Oceans.
Guild Wars 2 and Black Ops 2. :)
Playing Devil May Cry 3. I never gave this game a chance as a kid, but I've fallen in love with it now.
Dark Souls has helped me appreciate the nuances in the combat and the difficulty, with very little leaving me frustrated.
Also, the cerberus is so damn amazing and fun. Considering I love using nunchucks (nunchaku) in kung fu, I immediately fell in love with them.
Looking forward to all the badass weapons in this game.
Also been playing around with some old crappy PS1 games.
Power Rangers: Time Force (I WILL beat this broken near unplayable piece of garbage. I keep getting 3 levels from the end and getting screwed over by the level design)
Spongebob SuperSponge: A surprisingly solid platforming game with some serious balls in terms of difficulty. It had me on the edge of my seat, and I was having a blast until I got my game over.
Final Fantasy 8.
I've only ever played this game once and despite a few obvious issues with the story, I did actually enjoy it. After reading up on how broken the game is I've decided to find out for myself. Plus, I do really enjoy Triple Triad.
Oh I'm enjoying the hell out of it, just beat Agni and Rudra. Took me about 4 tries give or take. Pretty sweet swords, and they have access to air hike! ^^
I'm not using recovery items or anything, so this game can get pretty intense. But my god IS IT SO FUN.
Chapter 6 here I come...
yeah i loved dmc3!! agnir and rudra was the hardest battle for me too. i guess s&o reminded me of that one actually. i wonder how i'd play dmc3 now after having played through demons and dark souls
but it's true, dmc3 is the best entry in the series, at least for sure in the ps2 generation
I actually had more trouble with cerberus than those two. He took me like 6 or 7 attempts. A&R took me a few tries to figure out, but once I did they were cake. After Dark Souls bosses taking me 15+ tries on challenge runs, 4 or 5 tries is nothing.
None of the bosses have been too overwhelming actually, and they've all been extremely fun (except the leviathan heart, that one was just stupid)
Then again... there's still Hard, Very Hard, and DMD for me to go through.
I can definitely say I don't play DMC3 the same way I did DMC4 because of Dark Souls. I only get frustrated when something stupid happens or greeds appear because screw them, and I spend a lot of time in the early chapters practicing moves and combos.
Currently playing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. Mostly cause I really want to play The Witcher 2 and see how pretty it looks on my computer xD
Paul and I are slowly grinding our way through Gears Of War 3 on insanity. It is a painful experience at times.
I tend to switch between Royal Guard and Swordmaster depending on my situation.
I'm now on Vergil 2 and this fight is sooooo much fun~
He's making me very impatient for the Beowulf Gauntlets though, I need them in my life.
NES Legend of Zelda. I started about three hours ago and I'm already in the final dungeon. Of course the fact that I did a lot of things out of sequence to make my passage through the game faster (got three hearts, the white sword, the blue mail, and the big shield before even entering a dungeon, got the master key after the first two dungeons, etc.) probably sped up my process a lot.
God of War: Ascension
While not really revolutionary in terms of gameplay, it's really fun none the less, and looks fantastic, so much that it's hard to believe it's a console game at points.
Picked up Skyward Sword again last night but I technically have a bunch of games on the go: Tomb Raider, Ni no Kuni, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and DmC, to name a few. Urgh, school and life does not lead much gaming time for me :(
Royal Guard really is an underappreciated Style if you ask me. The Beowulf is one of my fave weapons in the game, though I feel Vergil fits my style more than Dante's. Felt I should ask, are you playing the original DMC3 or the Special Edition version?
Anyway, I gave on Fallout 3 so I could play Xenogears again. I tried playing this game on the PSP but it just never felt right so playing this on the PS3 on the big screen has made everything feel right. I've also realized why Xenobalde reminds me so much of Xenogears, it didn't just lift the color palette from Gears, I feel it lifted some of the architecture and NPC designs as well. Anyway, Im at the point where the Goliath was shot down and ready to go meet THE MEN OF THE SEA!!!
Halo 4 (still)
I'm actually taking another turn at Skyrim, burned myself out on it like six months ago but picked it up again the other day and I'm thoroughly enjoying my Dunmer Thief/Dual Weapon warrior. I intend to mess around with the new(ish) DLC and a Breton or High Elf Heavy Armored Mage.
im playing resident evil 4, though i can only play it in the weekend, becaus its on my bf's computer... cant run it on mine... cant run anything on mine :(
Im also playing Tomb raider on ps3. at first i didnt like the game, but as we advance it is getting better and better!!
saturday when i was at the store i wasnt so sure if i should get DMC, i was afraid i wouldnt like it becaus its a hack and slash. i did enjoy the previous one though (with a bit mixed feelings).
my bf downloaded the game for pc and i played a little and it convinced me.
buuuuuuttt... just my luck: when i wanted to get it on sunday the game was suddenly dissapeared off the freaking earth!
gamestore didnt had it.. and in the other 3 stores they didnt had it either :S
so now i have to wait till it comes to me
Special Edition, and I know it's easier than the original. And I definitely don't think Royal Guard is underappreciated at a lot of the best boss strategies involve it. The problem is a lot of people don't want to invest the time to learn it or think it'll be too hard.
Also, mission 20 is kicking my ass. Vergils first 2 fights I beat in 1 or 2 tries max but this one is just raping me. I have yet to use healing items during bosses but I just want to get this done so if I don't get it soon I may just resort to that and really train on him later. I just really suck at this last fight, and it doesn't help that I just want to get on to Hard mode and Vergils mode.
Finished Tomb Raider a couple days ago. Now I'm playing Dragon's Dogma and currently waiting for Bioshock: Infinite to download, then it's going to be off to Columbia =DDD
BIOSHOCK BIOSHOCK BIOSHOCK
Well, I'll be playing it once it unlocks. I also started playing Nier last weekend, but I'm waiting for a friend to start playing it, as well, because we're going to talk about how weird it is while we go through it.
I am trying Legend of Mana. I have never played it before.
After this it will be La Pucelle Tactics, a game which I very much enjoyed.
uh - nothing? want to get back to j:e, skyrim, m:e2 (or 3, haven't played it; also femshep) or any or all of the above
also persona, anyone of them, i'm not picky!
Tales of Graces f (Why am I still playing this nonsense. Battle system is bleh, characters are bleh and story is bleh).
Digital Devil Saga 2 (Picking this back up. The grinding nature of SMT always wears on me and I need to take a break).
Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm (Working on dem achievements. Great game!)
Danielle's been playing FFXIII lately and I've been thrown the controller when she's eating or on the phone or whatever. I have to say, the game has surprisingly good replayability. The battle system is just really enjoyable for me.
Otherwise, I'm not playing anything at the moment, and I find it kind of weird saying that. I'm sure it'll change soon enough. Just wish FFXIV:ARR would launch already... but I still have to get through FFIX and Thief at some point, so there's always that.
Just finished God of War: Ascension. Great game. Now playing Ni No Kuni and God of War 2 remastered. I never got to play GoW2 because my PS2 broke down or something back in the day. GoW2 feels maybe the best in the series...after that I'll start play MGS games from snake eater till the newest one. Only have played MGS1&2 as well.
Too much to play, too little time..
Legend of Dragoon still, I wish they made a prequel about the Dragon Campaign.. But that's probably not going to happen.
On the other hand I am playing Aion. I think I have played it for 2 years now, time flies fast.
FFVII for the first time in 10 years or so. Only about 10 hours in, but I'm enjoying it. The story is still amazing, although the battle/ materia systems seem overly simplistic now.
I've been playing Fire Emblem 4 for the first time.
I've also been replaying Xenogears and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.

Positive aspects: It is Kingdom Hearts.
Negative aspects: It froze for me 4 times during day 1.
Kingdom Hearts never froze for me on PS2 in 10 years.
Finally made some progress on Final Fantasy IX, although it's Beta weekend for a certain other game and that'll probably mean I play that for the days that it's up.
Darksiders 2
I just had the most epic boss fight in my gaming history.
I'm about to beat Deus Ex, and I've also been playing some Crusader Kings II (Elder Kings mod) and Torchlight 2 on the side. When Hux and I were together recently we played and beat Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, as well. We started Dark Alliance II but they had some terrible game mechanic that we didn't like so we stopped almost immediately xD
Those Dark Alliance games were great. I miss them now. And I want to play Champions of Norrath, again. :(
I'm still playing New Vegas. Rocking Joshua Graham's smurfing magnificent and beautiful armour with some lucky shades and a First Recon beret. Got 10 Intelligence, 10 Agility and 10 Luck, and have maxed all of the skills I routinely use. I'm currently using the Survivalist's Rifle, because it's cool, and the Gobi Sniper, because dem crits, man. Dem crits. :)
I have Bioshock: Infinite right there, waiting for me, but I promised my friend we'd play it together.
i can fi-na-ly start playing DMC
Oh you know it ^^
Which one are you starting with?
Devil may cry 1? 2? 3? 4?
The reimagining called DMC?
They all have their interesting quirks.
Edit: oh, the remake eh? The acronym as a name makes it hard to tell xD
Its quite a curious one that has a near universal hatred from the "hardcore" dmc community.
Most of its purely an exaggeration though.
Let me start with the meat of dmc.
The combat IS dumbed down sadly. The depth is mostly gone. But that isnt all bad.
Its simplified, but a newbie into dmc wont notice, its fast fluid and fun. Its gorgeous to watch as well.
The bosses... Okay the game lacks many bosses, and the ones there arent very good or challenging.
Their designs are really cool... But sadly they lack replayability.
The story is fine, dont worry about that.
The game is also stupidly easy to get the highest ranking on, which kills replayability overall and doesnt make you strive to improve.
Also, there is an elemental portion to the combat. This goes as such "enemy is red, you can only hit him with weapon 'x'. Stuff like that. Its my biggest gripe as i feel its a very artificial way to influence gameplay and limits combat variety.
Wow, that felt like a bit overly negative.
Dante feels great to control, the art design is gorgeous, and enemy designs are cool too.
Oh, the music isnt too bad, but thats a matter of personal taste.
Overall, its a great intro to dmc that lacks the massive leaning curve of the others. Its not the best, but its perfectly solid and i recommend it. It wont hold peoples attention as long as the others due to its shallow nature but its fun all the same.
i played DMC 4 (the one with Nero) before this.. what i hated about it is that you went from A-Z with Nero, and Z-A with Dante.. i dont like revisiting places like that :o
i was not sure if i wanted to get the new DMC since im not 100% sure if i liked the previous ones, and im actually not a hack and slash fan at all!
but after playing a bit on my bf's pc i was convinced ^^
so.. the 're-make' of DMC :D
i agree that it is way to easy to get S rank at the end of a chapter.
i had alot of trouble switching to the right weapon (Osiris and arbiter, on pc) when you quickly had to switch in the air, but on ps3 it going waaaaaaay better.
since ive only played 1 DMC, wich was mainly about Nero, i dont really know the 'old' Dante that ppl seem to prefer.
But i like this Dante ^^
You should play DMC3, it is a lot better and Dante is SSStylish! The story is more interesting too and there is not that much backtracking. (You visit some places, not all)
The combat is fluid and needs some skill to get highest rank than in the "remake", but my wrist seems to cramp up when playing on keyboard.
Maybe I am out of shape, I have not played it in a year I think. I used to be quite pro.
if i can play it on pc, then i will ^^ ... ill bet its not on ps3 is it? :P
That was my main gripe with DMC4 too. I mostly just love the bosses of that one and nero is quite awesome to play as. I typically stick to the bloody palace for the most part.
DMC3 as previously stated is probably the most solid entry in terms of AMAZING gameplay, humor, storytelling and the like.... though I feel its "dante must die mode" is extremely weak and poorly executed.
You can pick up the HD Collection of Devil May Cry which includes 1 2 and 3 (special edition with vergil mode) all in one nice bundle for PS3.
While DMC2 sucks terribly in my opinion, 1 and 3 are both FANTASTIC games so it's a good deal.
I'm not sure if the collection comes with any problems as I haven't used it so you may want to look into that before purchasing.
DMC3 does have quite a steep learning curve though, so be prepared to spend a while just becoming good at the combat.
3 is definitely not as forgiving as 4 is as well so be warned.
Been playing Fire Emblem Awakening nonstop for the past week or so.
Just started playing Bioshock: Infinite. smurf me. :love:
Yep, me too, pretty much.
Also, if DLC schedules keep up, Rogues & Redeemers 3 comes out later today, which means we'll finally get access to the awesome Limit Breaker skill.
The second to last SpotPass character/map should also be released today. Possible marriage candidate for the male Avatar who comes with the awesome Shadowgift skill (which can be passed down to a female Morgan) and some good stat modifiers.
Kingdom Hearts with the gf, which is more me watching and attempting stuff when she's having trouble. It's the first time I've done a serious playthrough of it and I'm enjoying it for the most part, though the story is taking a while to come together, and some of the areas just don't really make sense.
I started up Majora's Mask for the first time, also. It's cool for a lot of reasons - I've been wanting to replay some of the 3D Zeldas, and it's one of them that I didn't play much of. I've also heard so much about the depth of the scenario and story that I've been intrigued about it for some time. It's also nice to play it on an emulator with remastered textures and a wireless controller. I'm not terribly far, but it's a big nostalgia trip back to OoT, and it's just hard not to love the weirdness of it.
with my laptop i never know :o
i cant play re4, beccaus it stutters very anoying, but i can play Sims..
we'll see :3
As I said, the new DMC has very poor bosses. Cool looking, but such a joke to fight. Saddest part of the game for me.
Though I must say
DMC3 isn't exactly the shining example of bosses either.
bossesThe gigapede is an absolute WASTE of time, Leviathan is just boring... Don't even get me started on mr. disappointment at the end of Mission 19
Though it does have the Vergil fights which I rank amongst the best boss fights ever, beowulf is pretty fun, and agni and rudra are really cool. No other bosses really stand out to me really.
It had some great bosses VERGIL 3 OHMAGAWDILOVEYOU, and some that should have been just removed or completely changed.
Also, DMC3 has some STUPID enemies.
dumb enemiesThe miasmas are awkward and such a lame gimmick to fight. You cant even reliably pacify them with the camera as sometimes they're just magically charging their next attack
The archers can go suck it. I spend like 30 minutes chasing them around in the bloody palace, and they throw so many at you in the main story. I get their point is to run and attack at a range, but sometimes people make it a point to call soup a drink and that isn't very cool either.
Also, my least favorite... freaking spiders. I'm getting better with them, but they just are a pain to put up with. (also, if you have some tips for dealing with them I'd be greatly appreciated)
There's also the fallen, but they don't bother me as much anymore.
And last and certainly least is dullahan... or as I refer to them: pointless. Why do they exist? WHY?! They hardly deal any damage, aren't fun to fight, and have extremely little health. They aren't even aggressive or a hazard during battle.
DMC3 is an amazing game... one of my favorites, but it sure as hell has it's glaring flaws.
Also, I still highly recommend DMC3. Such a fun game~
The Legend of Zelda. For the fourth time in a month. I've played one of the ROM hacks (Outlands) three times as well). Yes, I always play both quests of both.
Finished Deus Ex. 10/10 game, A+. Moved on to Invisible War but it doesn't seem to want to run on my computer and since I can't be arsed to deal with it right now I'm skipping straight ahead to Human Revolution. Never played it before so I'm excited!
