Title: What are you playing?
Post by: Rman on March 06, 2009, 04:28:03 PM: I'm still mostly playing SFIV and getting me assed kicked repeatedly in ranked and player matches. I'm in a bad slump. The scrotos are kind of dying down in my experience, but there's tons of turtles online. Can't stand them.

I've really haven't been motivated to play anything else of late; that is until RE5 next week :hyper

Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: tiesto on March 06, 2009, 05:07:09 PM: SO4 all weekend, and a bit of SF4. Just gotta unlock Gouken, (almost did it, was one ultra finisher away from getting him :( ), and then beat the game with him to unlock Seth.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on March 06, 2009, 05:08:45 PM: Gonna try to finish up the single player campaign in Killzone 2 this weekend. I'll probably get started on Phantasy Star Portable and also play some more Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!

I should have added 'next week', i was just echoing your post :p
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: duckman2000 on March 06, 2009, 05:40:41 PM: Killzone 2. Getting really into the MP, but I should finish SP too at some point. Also, COD4.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Robo on March 06, 2009, 05:41:44 PM: Street Fighter 4, mostly, and I just suddenly got an urge to break out Bionic Commando: Rearmed again, so I'll probably mess around with Hard difficulty until I headbutt my TV off the wall.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Beezy on March 06, 2009, 05:41:57 PM: Still just Street Fighter 4 and a little bit of CoD4. My Bison (Dictator) skills continue to improve, but that's about it. There's a tournament at my school on March 20th, so I wanna be comfortable fighting any character with him before then. I finally figured out how to stop cheesy Zangief with him yesterday.

I finally got Mirror's Edge back from my friend, so I'm gonna try to play the game on hard and attempt some time trials.

What's your strat? I got nothing with Dictator on Gief other than abusing head press and jumping FP to stuff scrubby lariat spammers. Good players walk all over me.

Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on March 06, 2009, 05:55:05 PM: Well, it's time to turn in my testicles - I'm addicted to Virtual Villagers 2. God help me but I am. For those of you that don't know what it is, it's basically Animal Crossing with actual goals mixed with the Swiss Family Robinson. I stumbled upon it last night in my eternal quest to find an iphone/touch app on the iTunes store that's actually worth a damn and I'm not sure if this is a good thing or what but all I know is that I can't put the thing down.

Nothing too great, I just found out that his Devil Reverse Aerial Fist shuts down the lariat and I learned to teleport quicker so I can get away from Zangief whenever he gets too close. I don't use the head press at all because I still got hurt by the lariat every time I tried it. Also, just use Bison's fierce kick whenever anyone tries to jump in at you. I play really defensively against Zangief because just one grab from him can be deadly.

Post by: cool breeze on March 06, 2009, 06:23:35 PM: Finished Lost and the Damned, which was pretty damn good compared to GTA4, and until MadWorld comes out I'll probably play KZ2 and MLB 09 The Show. Also need to jump back into SF4.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Enl on March 06, 2009, 06:45:13 PM: Legacy of Ys DS- Crummy port. Ugly 3d graphics, weird glitches and the dumbing down of gameplay.

Street Fighter IV- Still playing. I'm about 1/2 and 1/2 with my winning streak.

Vesperia- I thought I would be done with this by now but I'm not. Currently trying to beat Alexie on hard and his OL is kicking my team's ass.

Boy and His Blob- With the announcement the other day I decided to give this a go again. Haven't played it since I was little so I don't remember what to do. I keep getting killed by cherry bombs! Grrr...

Flower- Finished it the other day and now I'm just collecting the extra petals.

A bit over 6 hours in and I definitely understand why it's gotten near universal acclaim here. Might have at Killer 7 a bit too since I found that for cheap recently.

Not really. :lol

The graphics are terrible and most of the areas within each level are copy/pastas of each other. The gameplay is mainly composed of just mashing the attack button repeatedly.

But it's still a guilty pleasure. :shh

Edit: Make that Pure. I'll save a second playthrough of ME for later.

I think I overpaid for Pure. The demo sold me on the game and it's decent enough, but they could have made the upgrade system a bit more accessible. They present the game as a arcadey twist on ATV racing in the vein of SSX, but then they have you meticulously build your ATV part by part, have upgrades several times that are purely cosmetic, and if they upgrade one stat they usually downgrade another, and they don't make it easy to just auto-apply the upgrade once you've earned it. Add in the fact that there are four different engine classes and you can't use a higher grade engine on a lower grade stage and the fact that you need to have a racing ATV and freestyle ATV for each class, you end up having way too many rides to manage. It might just be me, but I would have preferred they dumbed it down a bit and made it like SSX3's upgrade path. Win money, buy better performance, take the upgraded ATV anywhere.

Whatever, I've unlocked all the stages now. I give the game a B-.
Title: Re: What are you playing?
Post by: Bildi on March 09, 2009, 11:20:40 PM: I agree the ATV upgrading system is too fiddly, especially when you have many bikes and you get an upgraded part that you'd like to put on many bikes.

Overall Pure was a great first entry into the series though. It didn't grab me like SSX (which is a pretty tall order admittedly), but it definitely gave a similar feel in many respects.

Post by: cool breeze on March 10, 2009, 12:51:50 AM: A bunch of old games on different emulators. Old Gameboy Mario games (Land 1 and Land 2) were actually pretty crappy compared to the consoles ones. Also, Space Harrier has awesome music.
