Post by: Enl on January 31, 2009, 12:08:30 AM: Castlevania PoR- At the very end finally. Good thing there was some decent remixes of some older Castlevania tunes (one from Bloodlines :o) otherwise I would have probably stopped playing again due to the cheap use of repeated environments. The last boss though, is way more satisfying than the one in OoE.

Tales of Vesperia- Still playing on hard, 42 hrs in, Yuri suprises me at times as a main character, awkward cutscenes are unskippable (what the hell was with the long stretch before and after the big Belius fight), still having a lot of fun with this even after putting 40 hrs in.

Super Street Fighter 2 HD- This game never seems to get old with me. I'll probably still be playing this even after Street Fighter 4.

Dead Rising- Kinda late to this (which is odd considering my tastes) but wanted to finally play it before Resident Evil 5 comes out.

I haven't quite decided what portable RPG I want to waste my time on at work now that I'm done with DQIV and Castlevania. Maybe Star Ocean PSP?

Post by: tiesto on January 31, 2009, 01:54:20 AM: Tales of Vesperia - Up to the final battle
Tomb Raider Underworld - Somewhere in Thailand
Gears of War 2 - I might play this some more, give it a bit more of a fair shake, if I can learn to tolerate the characters
StarTropics 2: Zoda's Revenge - Somewhere in London
Dragon Warrior 3 GBC - Have to go through that really long volcano dungeon to get the last orb

Post by: Bebpo on January 31, 2009, 01:33:56 PM: Rock Band 2 - Getting the achievement for playing all venues today. On the final venue I have left currently.
Tales of Hearts - Pre-final dungeon stuff. Hopefully will finish it today.
F.E.A.R. - Game is so mediocre but after I finish Hearts if I have nothing to do I'll keep playing this. Around Interval 5 or 6 now so like halfway? I dunno, everything looks the same. I'm done with Monolith games after this.

I feel like I should want to finish it, but every time I start playing I'm just like "meh."
Title: Re: Whatcha playing?
Post by: Ninja on January 31, 2009, 03:09:56 PM: Chrono Trigger DS - It's still awesome.

I loved Dead Space. It was one of the most polished games of last year and the gameplay is now the standard of it's genre. It shames RE5.

I know the feeling. It's a really short game though and the achievements are easy. It took me 5 hours to complete the first 6 chapters. I could beat it today if I really wanted to.

Post by: bork on January 31, 2009, 04:21:21 PM: -Mirror's Edge on PS3- Really enjoying this. The rush you get when platforming while being chased and shot-at by enemies is an amazing experience that just wouldn't be the same in third-person.

-SSF2T HD Remix- Went over to Leguna's place last night and played this against him and a friend. He got OWNED so bad, ha ha. I perfected him with Chun-Li and then switched up to other random characters to give him a chance, but he still couldn't beat me. That was fun. :lol

-Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom- Ditto, but the problem here is that with no one familiar with the game, it's kinda uneven and there wasn't much interested because of it. I really hope this gets ported to PS3/360 with online play.

-Fallout 3- Getting back into it after the brief few hours I played of it at release. It's awesome!

One of my buddies has Dead Space, think I might see about borrowing it from him...

Mainly just to record 3 or 4 of the big battles in the game. God damnit I wish they would've allowed multiple saves in this one. Having to go through all the tedium again is a little much, especially when I'm as sick as I am right now.

Dead Space, which shames RE5 so severely I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom commits seppuku

Post by: tiesto on January 31, 2009, 08:28:04 PM: Just did the first 2 missions in Operation Anchorage. It's not too bad but I wished it would have more role-playing elements, instead of being a linear corridor shooter. The Alaskan atmosphere is a nice change of pace though.

Meh, I don't know why I keep playing this franchise. Deep down I hate them all and play them to torture myself and lower my intelligence.

I did like Yuri though!

and I don't know who thinks Dead Space will be as good as RE5 in the end, most of what I've seen is comparing the controls. I think RE5 will be better in the end when playing co-op, but having to deal with the distinguished mentally-challenged Sheva AI would probably get annoying in single player.

Post by: Bebpo on February 02, 2009, 07:36:18 PM: Since I finished Tales of Hearts and then FEAR, I'm continuing to pound away at games I'm midway through before starting new ones. Went back to Super Robot Wars Z last night, getting close to the 50% mark in mission count, although the last half of missions are usually like 2-3 hours each whereas the first half are 1-2 hours, so clockwise I'm still far away.

Got me some GETTER DRAGON, a SATELLITE CANON, and an upgrade to my OVERMAN. Pretty happy about that. Game is good, they need to fantranslation this stuff or something.

The bosses are starting to get reaaaaaally bullshit hard though, even for SRW. 2 turns per round + every round cast 100% accuray and DODGE + crazy high HPs = smh. I was fighting some boss and once he got in the last 10% of his life everyone's attacks did like 10hp damage. Bosses are getting ridiculous skills.
