Title: Its the Weekend! 15-09 What are we playing?
Post by: The Sceneman on September 14, 2007, 06:14:19 PM
Gonna try and get through a large chunk of Digital Devil Saga today, still plugging at Gradius V but I doubt I'll ever finish it... I got fairly good at Ikaruga but the best I could do was finish it with 3 credits.

Im gonna check out the site that Tiesto linked me and have a go at that later.

Im rounding off the postgame content in Etrian Odyssey. Holy fuck they ramped up the difficulty. Looks like im gonna have to be rebuilding a few party members to get through this shit, and train up a sweet Traubador as I hear they are fairly essential later on.

And I'll probably play Shenmue 2 when I go to bed! (helps you sleep good lol)

I just beat Devil May Cry 2. It was abysmal. I thought I was burned out on Devils possibly crying, but I decided to plow on into Devil May Cry 3, and it is FUCK AWESOME so far. Wow, what a turn around.

I'm also playing Metroid Fusion.

I just beat dmc3 a half hour ago.

Just after the first half I was so amazed I actually said to myself, wow, I can't wait to beat this so i can play though it again.  I then beat it and said, well looks like i got my wish.  I wish Japaneses people would play FPS so that the dmc 3 team could have learned from halo.

Other than that i wish there would be a little more focus on puzzles and adventure -- the latter wasn't even as good as the first, and grab and item and take it place it in a statue, or bash something with your weapon ten times is a little hard to take after GOW.   

Also cammera was bad is some places.  Is 4 set with little movement or do you get full camera control?

That being said the combat system is OMG fricken awesome, I still prefer NG gameplay because its more defensive orientated but dmc 3 system is defiantly king.   

9/10.

I prefer just DMC1 combat to NG, I can't even fathom how awesome DMC3 must be.

how deep is the system? i find myself doing nothing but just jumping in air and shooting.
i don't have a manual. i won it sometime ago and it's just a promo version with a nice cardboard cover and that's it. :-\

Look for controls on gamefaqs.

The system, isn't as deep as ng or 3 but still fairly good, it's just rather clunky.

DMC3 is as deep as it gets when it comes to action games.  The build your own combo system is amazing once you put some time into it.

True, theres nothing like stringing fifteen special moves together that have all been your choice to customize though upgrades and style.

WANT.  TO.  PLAY.  THREE.  WANT.  TO.  FINISH.   HURRY.

Controls take getting used to, that's for sure.  But it seems to be good and the soundtrack is AM FUCK AWESOME.  No EA Trax crap this time around.

Upgraded to the 360 version.  Looks nice!
(http://image4.play-asia.com/350/5f/pa.97555.1.jpg)
Haven't played much of this, really.  Need to play more but...MUSOU OROCHI!!
(http://image1.play-asia.com/640/56/pa.93048.2.jpg)
Awesome upgrade.  Need to go check out the arcade and see if the competition has improved...

Plus Fatal Fury Special on XBLA.

I ended up keeping Gundam Musou when I got Musou Orochi on 360; figured I'd be back in the Musou mode with that and the SW2 update on PS2, so I'll give Gundam Musou another try.

Speaking of Gundam, it's time I played this:

Some girl I met on Match claims she's a Mario Kart champ so I challenged her to the 64 game. This girl is really cute too :) Too bad I'm absolutely exhausted from last night.
