fuckin' monster hunter freedom 2 gets me :/
im stuck with congalala, fuckin ape just won't die :(
YES, FINALLY!
I had left FFXII alone for several months because I was stuck trying to kill the elder wyrm with his sporefall cough bad breath cough. I gave up, tried saving enough for nahao bracelet, couldn't; tried leveling up further, too long; tried going the LONG way around to get to Bur Omisace, everything kicked my ass; tried getting Addremalach early, those damn horses in his cavern destroyed me...
Finally spammed like 30 quickenings and KILLED THE BASTARD. Oh, I feel so much better now...
I really wanna get a character on Aion to 50 but even my korean blood is against me playing that long. We'll see how long I stay dedicated or if the xp curve is adjusted.
Also I would love to play through all of X-2 as I have never beaten it but I feel incredibly embarrassed when I play it and turn the game off blushing.
>>28 Also I would love to play through all of X-2 as I have never beaten it but I feel incredibly embarrassed when I play it and turn the game off blushing.
Just watch a Let's Play of it. It gives you a level of abstraction so you odn't have to feel so weird about it.
Demons Soul's. Awesome game, but goddamnit man it's startin' to piss me off.
Fuck you, game!
Ys: Ark of Napishtim. PSP version. Fucking bosses are hard.
I'm playing MGS1 Snake's VR Missions in MGS2 Substance... It's hell, but I NEED to complete it. I've gotten this far and I'm not giving up now damnit.
I'm on variety level 3 (the survival mission).
I'm 97% complete with all of his missions, 99.6% finished with VR missions in general. Just this last mission and the last grenade mission on weapon mode (shudders).
Those damn tengus... I got passed them all, once, but then when I got to the genola stage he fucking punched me to death. WTF.
So now I'm stuck on the tengu stage again and I can't remember how I got passed them before ;.;
How anyone was able to beat Ring of Red (ps2) without cheating is beyond me. Not only are the battles insanely long, but the missions keep spawning more and more enemies!? God, even with cheats it still takes 45 minutes for each mission...
gameplay makes up for it though.
I'm stuck in WoW
I... I finished all the vr missions on mgs2:substance.
I did it. I really did it.
I think I'm going to put this on my resume.
"I see here that you... finished the VR missions in some game? That hardly seems appropriate for a position at-"
"Nah, man, you don't UNDERSTAND. There's this one mission, like, where you need to get at this thing in the center of like 8 guards in a tight circle, and you have to get there undetected. They're like 2 inches apart, onscreen. I did that, Man. I did that."
"You are hired."
There was a thread like this in /anime/ and, although it seems to have died from lack of interest, I liked it. Let's try it here.
For instance, assuming >>0's favorite is THE GAME: What fun is a game that can't be won? Also, you just lost it.
My favorite: Metal Gear Solid 3
No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
>>340 Lawful Stupid.
Phantasy Star Online... Episode 3.
They keep makin' 'em, and I keep not buyin' 'em. Also, episode three was turned into a card battle game.
Okage: Shadow King
Never came out in Europe
Keio Flying Squadron 2
Never heard of it.
XIII
Was one of a kind. Didn't even have a sequel.
Pooyan (and try to not make obvious joke on the name ;) )
There's a fucking wolf wearing a fucking ball cap and fucking polka dot pants on the fucking cover art.
Opposing Force
It was only an expansion pack.
Half-Life
Ruined the chances to succeed of countless other FPSs when it came out.
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
It's not a Zelda game.
Red Faction
I can't remember when i last got to play a game that :
1:was fun and entertaining all the time.
2:when i never got tired.
3:the history was top class.
4:i wanted to replay it after i finished it.
5:i could play it for moths witout finishing it.
To sum it up my lates games i have tested is:
Half life(played 1-2days , never replayed it)
WoW(qitted fast)
gw(i only play once in the week)
Silent hunter 3(got boring fast)
hearts of iron 2(only one i have left)
So when in the good games coming?
left 4 dead is really good awesome speed for the zomb of course no more lame axe throwing from the undead. crisis core psp have really good story line and graphic, though not the best game :/
Kirby Star Stacker!
Legend of Mana. Now, actually.
May not have the best story system I've heard about, but the battle system is a fucking awesome system.
It's a great game.
Big Bang Beat also MUGEN LOL
Bumping this shit 'cos it needs to be remembered.
The last time I played a good good game was Fallout 3. Seriously. There isn't anything bad about that game.
I'm playing Bioshock for the first time. It's really awesome, but maybe a bit too easy with that awesome lightning wrench combo. Big Daddy battles make up for it.
In my opinion, Legend of Mana was the best of the series. I know everyone loves Secret of Mana, but I hated that game. And Secret of Mana 2 had too much grind, even with an emulator with fastforward.
I have fond memories of playing LoM with my sister.
Though Dawn of Mana was pretty cool. It was cool to see the Mana world in 3D. Very pretty game.
Last game I got completely sucked into was Assassins Creed 2. It helped that this time around they developed the main character into an interesting guy instead of a silent vehicle for the gameplay. And goddamn, the game is gorgeous to look at.
Plus, I became best bros with Leonardo Da Vinci.
I dont have a console, but there're also many fantastic games on PC, for example, Mount & Blade, I really love it! It's a mixture of ACT, STG and RPG, you can grow your own character and join one of the five battling countries, enjoy the feeling of becoming a knight or a laird, just like the mid-country Europe.
You can meet nice people and be a part of the justice, or walk with thieves, robbers, do whatever you want.
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
Great game, the only problem is the friendly ai, but it doesn't bother me that much.
It's pretty long and hard (cocks lol) and it has an awesome expansion pack, so it kind of sticks it to mw2 (cocks again) even though the graphics and such aren't as up to date.
I think I'm going to go reinstall it...
Hopefully someone plays online still, that game had the best multiplayer (and community) that I've seen in a loooooong time.
Half-Life (obligatory)
I was a kid when I first beat it, and it took me like a month to beat it. Nowadays it takes me like 15 or so hours. I just cannot figure out how it could possibly have taken me a month to finish.
No more heroes
I like how its a satire on "EPIC" plots in general not just games.
But I still consider Killer7 as a better game despite the change from its original script . Cant wait for
Flower, Sun and Rain in October so I can get some sort of understanding of his Kill the Past series.
I just finished Eat Lead: the return of Matt Hazard. Fun times, and the pistols were probably the best weapons because they killed instantly with headshots. I liked how the skirt guns worked best on the soak'em guys. But those damned space marines... Anyway, the only annoying part was the final final area where you had a whole crapload of player-characters spawning at the end. It was really freakin hard to kill them all without getting a instantly fatal shot out of nowhere.
Anyway, also bought and cheat-finished a few NES games - Abadox (HOW WOULD ANYONE FINISH THIS LEGITIMATELY!?), Astyanax (The strangest hit boxes I've EVER seen), and Amagon (Another one-hit-kill game, infinite power when transformed and infinite lives change the game from "throw at screen" to "playable. Good soundtrack.)
Also just finished Ring or Red, and Okage: Shadow King.
Ring of red: Graphics strike a chord with me, story bleh, characters bleh, missions groan, gameplay ULTROS WIN.
Okage: Graphics/animations lame, art good, gameplay alright, story interesting, heroes amusing, humour ULTROS WIN.
XIII.
If Goldeneye and Splinter Cell had a baby, this would be it.
Just beat No More Heroes 2. Was disappointed.
Just finished BioShock. great game. Scary turns into actiony at just the right pace. Also, the reveal was masterful.
Reinstalled recently, and just got through Kotor 2. That game was pretty awesome the first time I played it (when it came out) and it's still good, and I'm actually playing through it again with a new character, but damn obsidian left so much content out, and there are so many glitches that they never even bothered to fix, I feel like I should write them a very stern letter.
I'm all about the unfinished games, since rpg developers are wont to release games that aren't ready for release yet, but only if the cockbreath creators FIX it with patches later on. Needless to say,
Obsidian gets a big black mark next to their name for this.
I'm glad there's so many mods for it though, or it wouldn't be worth playing. Actually, I'm most glad for the 'skip peragus' mod, because, for pete's sake, it gets just a little boring to go through all that pointless shit over and over again.
That's the ONE thing I like about PC gaming over console gaming - mods can make the games either better things, or simply make them much more enjoyable.
Just finished the Half-Life mod "Paranoid". If the friendly AI was a little better, and the game longer (a lot longer- since it was just a short mod, after all), it could be made into a pretty decent game.
Wow, that sounds pretty cool actually
I just finished Mass Effect 2.
Mordin died. Feels bad, man D:

>Moreover, Ar Tonelico is well known for the “Moé” (pronounced “mo-éh”) style RPG in Japan. I want the localization team to be able to express this popular Japanese feeling of Moe to the American gamers through the gameplay,” Haru Akenaga President of NIS America says.Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia will be released in February 2007.
Key Features
>>8
I'd give the voice actors the benefit of the doubt, with Japan's much wider talent pool. The dialogue is pretty standard for this type of dating sim element but it seems to also poke fun at itself. What I want to see is the marketing materials, to check if they really are highlighting moe as a selling point like they were in the initial announcements.
Ar Tonelico 2 confirmed for December release
http://shanachan.konosutekinabasho.net/v/src/1217024972223.jpg
oh man! this is cool!
the first one: horrible horrible voice acting
I'd totally buy this if it were for the PC.
>>17
So the Japanese voices were horrible too?
Mega-bump because Ar Tonelico 3 is out!
My copy is somewhere over the Pacific, after all the issues AT2 had I don't trust NIS America to do a decent job of publishing this when they get around to announcing it in a year or two. I probably don't know Japanese well enough to grok everything, but I intend to try!
Boy, am I glad the PS3 has no region lock. (´・ω・)

More to the point, Touhou is nine games for the PC (with another one coming every year) while Ikaruga is one game for the DC/GC that's approaching a decade old.
>>10
I was just opining that it's a far superior shmup.
>>11
Or just another generic shmup with only one redeeming feature?
Touhou has alot more fans because the creator is constant and actually gives the fans a little to work with. From there, the fans create new works and snowball the original creation.
Probably the bigger differences are that Touhou, unlike Ikaruga, has more variation (mainly characters and patterns, but also gameplay genres such as the fighting games and various fanmade games) and a strong/large community that can entertain its own members.
Also, I am >>8, but not >>10. >>8 wasn't serious, but it could be...
I like Raiden
I had heard a lot about touhou in the years, but neve played it until just recently. I fucking love it and skip the cutscenes. About the only thing I know outside of the game itself is yukkuri, but thats more because I love silly memes.
And >>1, really? It doesn't have a plot? There are TONS of games that dont have a plot that people love.

Man if there's one thing I hate about shooting games it's the Ikarugafags.
I really dislike Touhou's character design and story, but I must admit, the games are pretty fun and they have some really awesome bullet patterns. Too bad they always start with an extremely boring stage 1 though, it's such a waste of time to play through that first stage every time you die.
I've only played Imperishable Night, which is apparently one of the easier games of the series. I suck at the game. I suck at STG's in general. Despite sucking at STGs, I really like the genre...
We all know that lately game companies are running out of/too lazy to come up with original ideas for games and have been chugging remakes and sequels.
I say they should remake Super Smash TV
battle toads
Lately I'm having constant urges to play Might & Magic VI again. But I think I'm going to be too disappointed by its graphics which in my memories aren't so bad.
Dungeon Keeper!
Carmageddon, the original games made by stainless were insanely awesome.
See its the graphics that make me want to play the games every now and then.
Rainbow Six 3 PC
It has awful AI. And that's a HUGE problem considering that it's such a huge part of the game (it is squad based after all... if it was just a solo shooter, like halo, it wouldn't really matter to me, but in R6 you kinda need good friendly AI).
UBI Just fucked it all up. And they made it so hard to mod, there's barely any community for the game (R63 would have been massively improved by the mod community if Ubi hadn't taken a dump on UE2).
Quest 64!
I'm playing a ROM of the game now, fun shit.
the music of the overworld is easy to get stuck in your head. and then it WON'T GET OUT
I would really like to see a version of the first and second SC's remade with the Chaos Theory formula (with waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy amped up ai and difficulty/map and gameplay complexity though)... but that's just a day dream I guess.
Discuss all of the games you regret buying.
Currently, I regret buying Dungeons and Dragons Tactics for the PSP. The multiplayer is lame, which is the very core of D&D. It's basically a watered down version of the game that you play on your own. Wow. Amazing.
Didn't buy it, but good god do I regret playing Wonder Momo. I was in a daze while I played it, because I hadn't slept in a long time, but even still... ugh. I don't even remember where I played it.
Every turok game.
Every. Single. One.
They always look good, so good that you get lulled into buying one again... and then...
BAM. Shit sucks.
Spec Ops games. Why the fuck did I ever even try these out? Complete horse shit in every way: graphics, gameplay, guns, sounds, music, ai....
PS2 Tenchu games (wrath of heaven, fatal shadows). I'll admit I like them a little bit, but they just didn't meet the standards of other games of their era. Some of the gameplay mechanics were really wonky and some important ones even occasionally didn't work (or would malfunction and cause the character to do something to make them get spotted or generally fuck the game up) at random times, especially when you needed them most (for instance, jumping and grabbing cliff edges, etc), graphics were sub-par, sounds were low quality...
Drawn to Life. It was okay, but not worth buying.
Made me turn to piracy. Karma turned full swing as a result, because I was playing so many games, I didn't get hardly any joy out of them.
Now I'm back to buying. Amusingly, I actually want to at least rent "the next chapter" of Drawn to Life.
Dokapon Journey
It's just... not the same...
272, you probably just don't quite understand how to play Baten Kaitos which is understandable since it introduced many unique aspects and themes. Try reading the manual and restarting the game and it'll likely end up a favorite of yours.
Unreal Tournament 3. I mean I had fun playing it, but I was expecting something different. It felt to much like Gears of War (I know its by the same company) and not much like UT. Of course I had been hoping it would be an updated UT99.
None of the subsequent UTs have ever even come close to the awesomeness of UT99.
Now don't get me wrong, it is a decent and fun game, but I was expecting something else.
Scribblenauts. I'll give it some credit, it's the best Jetpack and Fishing Pole simulator I've ever played.
Just purchased "Defender of the Crown" for the Nes. ugh. at least it was only 6 bucks. It's not that it's impossible, but it's just so horrible. I'd rather play Abadox or Astyanax without cheating than play that game.
Spore. I got really hyped about it before it came out, but it was complete shit.
This is unlikely, but I thought I'd ask it anyway, fwiw.
Apparently, Sony made it possible at some point for psp games to be programmed (by the game developers of course) to be played on ps2 (yes, I still have one- and love it), so I'm wondering if they continue to do so or have they dropped this?
Also, does anyone in the game industry even bother to make them at all compatible with this old console anymore?
The only thing I can think of related to this is that a few PSP games were ported to the PS2; OP, are you sure you aren't confused with these games?
This is where I got my info, fwiw:
