Just talk about whatever game you're playin, want to play, want to buy, what you just bought - whatever.
Just a nice, lazy places to spout random crap about games.
I'll also start us off.
Lately, I've been trying to whittle down my games I've wrapped vs games I own ratio. Now, to fascilitate this, I'm picking ONE system, and I'll only play one game on that particular system until I finish it, while trying to play it as much as possible. Other systems are fair game, but I should mainly focus on this first system.
This, I hope, will make it so I don't fall under the "3 Day curse" where I want to play a game, drop the one I'm currently playing, and play it religiously for 3 days before I suddenly get a craving for the next game - leaving a trail of half-finished games in my wake I'll eventually have to restart (AGAIN) to get the full experience.
Currently, this has begun with Tales of Symphonia, a great game to start me off with. I've been tempted with Legends of Legaia, Baten Kaitos, FF Crytsal Chronicles, but This time, I've stood my ground. I'm a little intimidated that I haven't reached the second disc yet, though ^_^.
I have decided I am going to beat the entire Donkey Kong Country trilogy.
Fuck yeah.
I swear i can't take the music of super mario world 2 from my head U_U
Fucking hell I've been playing Ravenshield for years now, and I still love it.
I can't wait for Merc 2 and Ordnance project to come out.
I like
A hotdog
In my eye
from Super Mario
but merc 2 is poo
Wario has a Ps2
But like the poo
Mario likes you
but you try it up the poo
Mario Mario Mario oh mario you raped Tomb raider oh mario!
A cow for a cow my kingdons for a hoe
Ps2 oh you suck, but not as hard as Ps3.
>>4 WHAT!
I still play battlefield 1942 and its mods
Hitman 2 is fucking hard as hell. It's easy to just run and gun in it, but the point, to me, is to be stealthy. I COULD run around shooting every guy I see in the face, and the missions would be relatively easy, but that's not fun. If I wanted to do that I would play doom or something. To be stealthy, and get the highest rating, you need a hell of a lot of skill.
I'm actually glad it's so hard, because I can play games like splinter cell with too much ease and get by without any alerts. But Hitman presents some challenge.
And Tenchu as well. I have Fatal Shadows for PS2, and it's so much fun, but also frustrating. I'm on that level were you have to fight Futaba, and every time I play it I can get by all the guards without a single alert, but when I have to battle the boss I always get fucked up.
I wish I could reinstall Far Cry, that was so much fun when you tried to be stealthy. Hard as fuck to be stealthy though, but I liked the flexibility. Shame that my gaming system got fried... Now I can hardly play anything made past 2003.
I just got a PS3 and decided to start it off with FFXII. I'm enjoying it so far. Love the new battle system. Sazh makes up for the other characters and kind of crappy story. I guess I'm weird in that the linearity isn't really bothering me. Makes finding chests a lot easier at least.
I want to get Demon Souls soon.
Oh man, I have such a hard on for Baten Kaitos. It was my first rpg. Looking back it was probably stupid, but I loved that shit when I was 12, so I hope you enjoy it.
I have like 20 games I'm in the middle of playing, but I can be assed to finish any one in particular...
To begin this possible wall of text, here's some background - I've had a Dreamcast since sometime in 2000. the RF cable, however, has been broken since 2008, and I only -just- got around to using ebay to grab the SCART cable I need. Even so, that console is fucking awesome.
Shenmue is still fun to this day. Not as amazing as it looked back then, but it's immensely fun to just forget the plot and waste every penny you earned on arcade games and capsule figures (still looking for the Sonic figure). Sonic Adventure 2 aged pretty well, too, despite the writing reminding me of a generic Shonen anime (think Dragonball). The only problem I have with it is how Knuckles' stages seem like pointless filler.
Also, Jet Set Radio (or Jet Grind Radio in the US) and ChuChu Rocket are probably some of the most original games I've ever played.
Been playing Azure Dreams on the GBC. I already finished it on PSX, so I figured I'd give this one a try.
So much harder...
On the plus side, I have two barongs! MUAHAHAHAHA
>>12 cont.
To give you an idea of how much harder the game is, the retard who owned this game before I got it had a save where he'd been to the tower 67 times, and he still hasn't managed to get past the boss on level 20.
(Tales of Symphonia)
Sheena needs more screen time. And more fan art.
Currently playing LovePlus. My girlfriend is Manaka. I feel like now that the "chase" is over and I made her my girlfriend, I've lost all interest. Wow, just like real life.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. I'm still afraid of shooting at people, even if it's just a game.
I'm really lookin' forward to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light.
I hope once Dragon Quest 9 comes out, we'll finally get a release date for Dragon Quest 6...
I've been playing Jump! Ultimate Stars for years now and I can't stop playing it since it has alot of weeaboo animu characters that I like. So far, I'm playing as Muhyo and I'm beating the shit out of a ton of people on Wi-fi. Feels good, man.
The splinter cell games really went downhill. Damn Ubi. Honestly, the first two sc's were good, but had lots of room for improvement. The third one was really good, but still had TONS of room for improvement.
So what does Ubi do with the next splinter cell? They clone the 3rd, and make the story 10x cheesier and the gear 10x less tactical.
For the fifth: rinse, wash, and repeat.
This seems to be a habit amongst major game makers today...
I'm glad there are so many old games out there, that I haven't tried, that have a lot of good gameplay.
It finally has a release date! Its Valentine's Day, which arguably would have fit better with DQ5, what with getting married in the game. Unless DQ6 also has a marriage part.
I have immersed myself in the universe of FF7.
I have finished Final Fantasy VII and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII.
I watched Advent Children Complete last night. I have yet to watch the Last Order OVA or On the way to a Smile OVA. I am currently playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
I only wish Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII was released in a playable English format. Sadly thats the game I want to play the most. The Turks are awesome.
On the subject of Final Fantasy, I just beat the last boss in FFIV Advance. Trying to stick with it and explore the Lunar Ruins but I keep looking over at FFV. After I've beaten the final boss and watch the credit roll, I feel kinda done with a game and lose all motivation to check out any post game extras.
If I remember right, the Lunar Ruins were impossibly hard. Then again I rushed the final boss at a low level and barely won, so...
I hate grinding so I never finished the Lunar Ruins.
>>24
All my characters are around level 70, is that high? I had a bit of a wander around there and Rydia turned back into a loli to my delight. I think I'll carry on exploring for now.
I don't see why this area can't be entered before the boss and still be optional? To stop you from getting broken gear for the final boss?
Maybe I'm worrying too much about this and being a bit of a completionist (should be a word), I feel like it would be wrong to ignore a huge dungeon they went to the trouble of adding.
How do other people feel about post game content?
One other thing that bugged me - I wish Parom and Palom had their personalities swapped. The cocky, arrogant boy and the sweet, polite, mature girl is over done.
I love "Ore no shikabane wo koete yuke".
This is an unusual style RPG that the characters' lives are very short so that you see them die many times.
When they die their descendants continue the adventure. Descendants are sometimes stronger than their parents. You should strengthen their DNA. I feel the game is really fun because the characters' lives are limited so that if you got a strong one you should take action until he die. Finally the great-(around 30x or more?)-great-grandson beats the final boss. The story is touching and the game itself is absolutely outstanding.
>>25
well you gotta remember the time when this game was released, stuff like Parom and Palom was unheard of at the time so of course they were going to follow the tropes of other media
>>27
In the After Years (which I personally like), Palom became alot cooler, while Porom became a bit more emotional.
I thought this growth in them was well done, especially since they now have things of great concern to them.
Hell, I personally think a lot of After Years was done well, even if a good chunk of it was just rehash. There's more of it that's remixed well and also original to make me over look that fact. Fuck year, Edge.

So I finally got around to completing fallout New Vegas. I went the Yes Man route which was a pretty disappointing ending in my opinion. I might replay it and go with Caesar or the NCR.
Alright, check safebooru's comments list. A lot of pictures with Snivy are getting comments lately. I wonder if the Snivy meme isn't dead after all...
Every week I eagerly check the import section on PSN to see if they've brought I Am The Chef to the US shores. Every week I am dsappointed. Does anyone know if a translated version has been dropped anywhere on the net?
Sengoku Gensokyo is probably the highest concentration of pure awesomeness I have experienced in quite a while.
I mean, you lead Touhou characters in an all-out war with each other. What more could ANYONE possibly want?
Why is Vagrant Story always so compelling to start but so tedious at the midpoint? Why are there several magnitudes more games in the final fantasy style than games in the Brave Fencer Musashi/Castlevania III style?
There is rarely a Japanese who eats the whale.
I couldn't finish Pokemon Black. I got to the 3rd badge and just lost all interest. It looks like after 13 years of Pokemon, my love for the series has finally come to a close.
I feel like talking about Umihara Kawase. I just got to field 35 and couldn't beat it, grrrrr! I've played this game a lot but there's still places I can't reach. And I still haven't beaten that crab...
>>38
Maybe because you realized you're just playing more or less the same game over and over again with some graphical updates?
Pokemon is a huge cash cow, so I can't blame Nintendo for pumping out sequels, but I find it hard to give two flaming shits about anything past yellow. Maybe replaying red or blue will rekindle your poké-love?
