final fantasy XIII-2

I just want to comment.. that the background music during a (boss) fight really anoys me at the moment.. freaking metal music or something like that >.<
Me no gusta


... and im not sure if i like what they did with Snow

[Jessweeee♪]

I like it! It's not something I'd normally listen to, but in context I think it's just right. Also yeah, Snow needs his hat back. His hair is soooooooooooo much better in game than the magazine scans, but it is still pretty bad.

PoP: The Two Thrones again. I believe that I am close to the end, I have acquired all the sand tanks and am like 2 life upgrades away from max health.
The gameplay with Dark Prince is awesome, stealth kills are cool. But I just hate that I cannot split enemies in half and cut heads off... looks so so wrong.

A couple of titles. I got it in my head to play through the whole Suikoden series in numerical order, so I'm up to Suikoden III now, finishing up Hugo's chapter 3 before doing Thomas Chapter 2, and Geddoe and Chris' chapter 3s. So far its been a great experience cause I always forget how awesome Suikoden is as a series and playing it in order back to back allows you to catch more of the subtle plot continuations in the series. I'm actually looking forward to playing Suikoden IV because it will finally get me to finish Suikoden Tactics.

I'm also playing through Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker which is mostly a great game if not a poster child for how the MGS console experience can't be done on a handheld device without an trout ton of downloading crap. It's been fun for the most part but I kind of feel the story pacing is a bit slow for the series.

I've also been dabbling in Dragon Quest IX which is quite frankly from a gameplay standpoint, feels more like an FF title than DQ. I wish the quests NPCs gave out were either more interesting, or at least net you better loot for completing them. The job class/customization system is like a strange mixture of DQVIII and FFXI which is actually really nice. I'm also happy cause I just learn I can build my party members from scratch as well and design how they look.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Obviously not as smooth as the PS3 outings but still ridiculously good for a handheld. Its been criticised for the touch screen controls but I'm actually really enjoying the charcoal rubbing and artefact cleaning aspects of the game. Not overly keen on the new girl but Nate is still cool as smurf

While I disagree on the 'feels more like an FF then DQ' thing', I do agree IX was very well made. Their customization is very well done, but the game has the major flaw of being too easy. Having playing much DQ before, I knew how it worked well enough to easily destroy pretty much the whole game. Hell, I beat it without having a single group heal spell. Compared to the likes of V and VIII it takes no effort to complete.

[Wolf Kanno]

It pretty much feels like an offline FFXI which is why I'm sure most people won't understand when I say it feels more like an FF game, but also the visuals in battles feel like something out of an FF title or hell, any RPG that's isn't DQ for that matter. The quest system also reminds me of how XI does it, even down to many of them not being worth the time or effort. Yet it's the Vocation system/weapon skill system that is the most like FFXI, with a hint of Disgaea mixed in. Your level is attached to your job and your profiencecy in weapons is built seperately but your equipped weapon is determined by your job class. Even DQVI and VII never tried anything like this but it's standard fare in FFXI except you can sub classes, whereas DQIX just has some skills and abilitis cross over. None of this is bad, but considering I'm coming off from playing DQIV and DQV to this, it's a very jarring experience. Kind like playing FFIII and IV and then jumping to FFVIII.

DEMON'S SOULS

Crusader Kings 2
Banjo-Kazooie
Super Mario RPG

Work is getting in the way of all three of these

I'm playing Sonic Mega Collection Plus on the PS2 (in other words I've been playing through each classic Sonic in no particular order and having a freakin' ball.)

I've also performed the miracle of getting Minecraft to run on my computer with 512 megs of RAM, an NVidia GeForce 4 graphics card and an AMD Sempron 1000+ processor. And as long as I don't explore too far and force too many chunks to generate, it runs almost perfectly with Optifine turning the graphical quality as low as possible. I'm told this shouldn't have been possible.

Only drawback is that when I'm in the Nether, Ghasts go beyond my draw distance and subsequently own me, and I can't get the Sniper Duel achievement for the same reason. Hopefully I'm getting a new computer in a few months. I'm years overdue for one.

[SwordFox]

The "main" game that I'm playing through at the moment is The Last Story.

The more "casual" game I'm playing through at the moment is Final Fantasy IX on the PSP/PS3.

I was recently trying to trudge through fanslated Rudras SNES game. But lost interest like last time, especially once I was killed by a random sub-boss and had to go back to an hour old save. Didn't feel like re-doing crap so I'm probably done with that game. Again

[DMKA]

I'm currently switching between Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Jak II on my PS3 at the moment. I was playing Jak II only until the new DLC for XIII-2 came out tonight.

Away from home, however, and usually when I'm in bed trying to fall asleep, I've been playing Final Fantasy VII on my PSP.

[Loony BoB]

Final Fantasy XIII-2 finished with all achievements done, so not much left there besides from DLC to get out of the way (have tried about twenty times to capture Lightning to no avail, gutting). Have got back into playing Final Fantasy VI again. Just got to the world of ruin and have found the brothers and Terra, although Terra was all "wah wah I don't want to join yet" or something. Oh well. Either way, getting there!

[Shaibana]

bought FF XIII-2 2 weeks ago, but so far havent had time to play any further D:
