currently!

Titan Quest (PC) -- almost finished hades on normal. can't wait to start my epic run for the mega-loot.
Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3) -- still stuck at 5th dan with lei-fei.
Baten Kaitos Origins (Gamecube) -- played about 1/4 into it and enjoyed that time last year; now i'm gonna finish it up. i know dragona was seriously nutting over this game, and while i think she's little touched in the head on it -- probably because it's a gamecube exclusive from former tri-ace devs -- it really is an excellent rpg and definitely the best on the ol' 'pube. the card-based battle system rocks, and there's plenty of flash. the gay robot guy cracks me up.
Parodius Collection (PSP) -- jawesome. i wish i could read the titles, but i've been playing the 3rd-5th titles in the collection obsessively.

metal slug 6, on ps2 and psp. at this point i can routinely get to the third boss on one credit, but i don't know how you're supposed to dodge a couple of his attacks, and it's hard to get much damage in. :( i wish there was a boss rush mode.

incidentally it's kind of cool to have the same game on ps2 and psp. and slug 6 probably looks better on psp -- it has some slowdown issues, but it nearly eliminates the jarring resolution gap between the sprites and the backgrounds.

Doing turtle runs in legendary. After level 40-42 or so loot really takes over in terms of character progression. Fantastic game.

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000N4JENW.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_V44215721_AA280_.jpg)

There's sooo much content to be had here. I don't play it at super-rivetcounter settings but I do embrace the game as a sim and find it exceedingly rewarding. I am going to dig up a copy of Flight Sim X for and if I wind up liking that as much I'm going to blow a couple of  hundred bucks on some upgraded sim gear.

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000ETRTWY.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_AA280_.jpg)

Criminally, criminally underrated. I play another game for multiplayer, but RoL has a great campaign and skirmish mode that Supreme Commander completely lack.

(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000FNA2QY.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_V44324968_AA280_.jpg)

Sort of an "instant classic" for me. I'm going to participate pretty hard in the challenge ladders when they open up in May. I really wish I had a decent partner for 2v2 ranked play who was laid back and cool.

(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000ML2EN8.01-A34K9YNGO2BQ0X._SCLZZZZZZZ_V45643581_AA280_.jpg)

It's pretty safe to say that this is going to be the turn-based GOTY unless the Civ4 expansion really pulls out all the stops. Like Titan Quest: Immortal Throne, Dark Avatar goes back and tunes the game to both expand the scope of the initial design and address almost every single big improvement that the original GalCiv2 had. Awesome stuff.

Right now it's wedding madness (11 days until I get married), then off to the honeymoon, where my gaming will be non-existent, thankfully-if I get the free time, I'm reading dammit. When I get back in town I am looking forward to the aforementioned Supreme Commander challenge ladder, and the US release of Armed Assault.

Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
- OMG the hype is true, this is the <a href=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17814933/from/RS.1/>Strawberry Quik</a> of roguelikes!

<img src=http://www.ebgames.com/common/images/lbox/230006b.jpg>

Super Paper Mario
- About to drop it, the gameplay and pacing are zzzz and I don't get off on N-thing nostalgia or meta-game narrative like I used to.

<img src=http://files.telltalegames.com/samandmax/screenshots/reality2.0/ep5_meeting.jpg>

Sam and Max: Episode 5
- Not really, but it's out now and I have a subscription so I should start it at some point.

<img src=http://www.ebgames.com/common/images/lbox/646436b.jpg>

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
- I need to hit 70 to regain my pride as a gamer and a man. At 65.5; just went to Nagrand. I'm a Priest, so playing the game at this point is like pulling sucky teeth.

<img src=http://image4.play-asia.com/640/4r/pa.85894.21.jpg>

DJ Max Portable 2
- This is one I'll be coming back to for months and months, so it's a slow burn.

<img src=http://www.ebgames.com/common/images/lbox/190396b.jpg>

Puzzle Quest
- Finished this; fun, but unbalanced and buggy. 7.5. (I would like to see more crossover games like this and Bookworm Adventures, however.)

I am on a Rockstar games run right now. I beat GTAIII, and now I'm playing Vice City. I am enjoying it a lot more than I did on previous play throughs, I guess it's because I'm in the mood. I forgot how non linear the game gets when you take over Diaz's mansion. I don't think I'll be replaying San Andreas and I'd be willing to bet that after all of this GTA playing the past few weeks, it's been bumped to my least favorite 3d GTA. Anyways, VC feels fresh to me again because it's been so long since I played it. I love Tommy <3

Along with that I am playing Max Payne 2: Fall of Max Payne and The Warriors, except now on Xbox. I still love The Warriors. Max Payne 2 is okay. I may give Manhunt a try sometime. It's really the only notable Rockstar game from last gen sans Midnight Club I have not played.

Super Paper Mario and FF6 Advance. SPM is amazing and creative as all hell. Has some niggling issues but its the best next gen game yet. FF6 was never my favorite FF, don't like the Esper system nor aimlessness of the World of Ruin. Still, its a lot more charming than I remembered it, I'm a sucker for sprite based 2D graphics, and its amazing how much more "alive" these characters feel when compared to some of the newest, heavy-polygon, shader 2.0 games...

Finished the main quest in Shivering Isles.  I have to say, it was a helluva lot more fun than the main quest in Oblivion (not that the main quest in Oblivion wasn't fun).  The characters were just wackier and more interesting.  It's also really pretty, and the loot is much better.  Plus, Madness Armor.  Well worth the MS shamebucks.

Still playing Guitar Hero II, though not as much as I was the first week I had it.  I have fallen out of love with it since trying to play on Medium.  "Practicing" seems too much like work.  And, I'm pretty pissed that the only way to unlock extra songs and music is by playing on Medium or harder.  There's a whole extra "level" I missed by playing on Easy.  I don't see myself ever getting good enough to unlock everything, and I think that's BS.  I paid for it, and there ought to be a cheat code to unlock everything for those of us who just want to dick around.  If you're gonna work that hard and practice that much, you might as well just buy a real guitar.

The Warriors for PSP is on sale for $15 at CC this week, so I might buy that to go in the "I'll get to it eventually" pile.

I started playing this again too over the weekend. I got to disc 2 last year (took over 30 hours!) and stopped playing because of school and finals. It seems a lot better than the first one, especially because of the voice acting and the battle system (one of the best there is imo).

BK was one of those games that I really wanted to like, but the game did its damndest to make me dislike it... but a lot of the pressing issues from the first game (limit on event magnuses, awful dialogue, plodding gameplay, cliche plot) have apparently been fixed in the sequel. I'm gonna get to it eventually... I think my next game once SPM is done will be Planescape.

I am playing Super Street Fighter II Turbo (CCC2) for the first time in my life, with my brother.  I never liked SF2 that much back in the day, I thought Killer Instict and Mortal Kombat were superior because of the blood and the infinite combos in KI.  I went to check KI Gold a few days ago and its just horrible... :-\

I was also playing 3rd Strike, but didnīt like it that much.  I like playing with Ryu in SF2, but his hadokens are easily parriable in 3rd strike, plus they are too weak and too slow :(. So far I like ST the better.

Total MS day. Was playing Halo 2 on Live, did pretty decent for someone who hardly ever plays FPSes, heard enough n-bombs dropped to annihilate Nairobi, then played TMNT over Live. The latter was a total blast, my first time trying that game over Live. Then I played some Outrun 2 and Panzer Dragoon Orta on the original Xbox.

How much is Gundam Musou imported, how much japanese do I need to know?

You can get it for about $65 new from YesAsia and Play-Asia. Too bad you didn't think about picking it up a few weeks back, as it was ~$50 during their sale.

http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-c/version-all/section-games/did-5/pid-1004611801/
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-1v6c.html

You don't need to know any Japanese to play the game. You might be slightly lost following the storyline in Official Mode if you're not familiar with the shows (Gundam, Zeta, Double Zeta). Original mode has a totally off the wall/over the top storyline which will confuse you, but it's so incredibly fun that you won't care. My minimal Japanese knowledge (four years of high school Japanese from 1995-1999) helps me out, but I don't think you'll be too lost if you don't know any.

The menus are 90% English.

The upgrade parts and skills menus, however, are all in Japanese. There's a pretty good FAQ that someone is putting together that helps translate them into English, which has helped seeing how my kanji knowledge is horrible.

Is it that DVD version? I think the only things I hated about BG1 were the disc swapping and imoen.

The best Infinity Engine games combat wise IMO were Icewind Dale offerings with Planescape Torment offering up the best story, atmosphere, and quest variety.

Yeah it's the DVD. I got it for free years ago when I bought a pc. Never played it seriously. Well I tried but it was too hard and I ended up cheating and only got to the Nashkel Mines and still couldn't survive. Right now, I am at Nashkel Mines again, but legit.

Icewind Dale 2 was pretty difficult too, I forget if either the community or the developer ended up patching it to make it a little easier.

The U.S. got KOF Neowave on the Xbox.  That's a slightly gimped port from what I hear though.  It's the lack of KOF XI, NGBC, and SS Tenka that are the real crimes here.  And dumbass SNK USA is like "HEY FORGET THOSE WE'RE GIVING YOU ART OF FIGHTING!!"   ::)


Updated my playing list since I spent a bunch of time last night playing fighters...

Picked up Super Paper Mario thursday but haven't felt like playing it yet.

Every time I try to play SF3 3s online there's NOBODY playing.  :/  Still looking for a copy of KOF Neowave on the XBox, but meanwhile the game being added to BC got me playing the PS2 version again.  I forgot how much I like playing it, and how FAST Neowave is.  I don't know why I'm bothering trying to find Neowave on Xbox, since I'm sure no one plays it online anyway.

Please go over this. Neowave lacks fucking kofxi?!

FUCK IT I'LL IMPORT.

FUCK IT I'LL IMPORT.

Not sure what you're saying, but you sound confused.  KOF Neowave is a stand-alone release.  It is not a double-pack like KOF 2002 and 2003 were.  Neowave is basically a remixed 2002, with a slightly different roster and some added game play elements.  It uses the same sprites as KOF 2002, not the redrawn/changed ones used in KOF 2003, which came out earlier.

KOF XI is the real sequel to KOF 2003.  It's got a shit ton of fighters, an improved tag system, and just all-around kicks fucking ass.  Along with Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum and Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden, it's easily the best fighting game released from the "new" SNK. 

KOF XI did not get released on the Xbox, BTW.  It's a PS2-only release.  Neowave was the last of the bunch on the Xbox.

I bought GOD HAND for $16... it's a lot of fun, reminiscent of a classic brawler, doesn't take itself seriously at all. I think you turn a little too fast though and I'm worried that the novelty will wear thin after a while (I'm on the end of the second chapter). Great game, I think a lot of the mainstream reviewers just didn't "get it".
Title: Re: What R U Playing
Post by: MrAngryFace on April 23, 2007, 11:26:18 AM
I dunno the games pretty challenging. Man I felt awesome the first time I beat those two femme mexican wrestler guys. I mean the whole novelty angle could be played against any beat em up, and God Hand has a lot more going for it with the custom combos and whatnot.

People are actually playing ps3 games?

600 dollar system, 70 dollar games, i laugh myself into a everlasting coma.

VF5 is pretty good, but not worth 70$. Maybe 40.

I finally decided to devote my gaming attention to God of War II. Absolutely incredible title, Sony did a good job with the PS2's swan song (even if Persona 3 has yet to come out). I haven't finished GOWII yet, but I'm already eagerly awaiting the next one on the PS3.
Title: Re: What R U Playing
Post by: FatalT on April 23, 2007, 05:37:35 PM
I'm currently playing

PC
Command & Conquer 3
Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
World of Warcraft

Nintendo DS
Pokemon Diamond
Puzzle Quest

There are more games I'm playing but I've developed video game ADD over the past 5 years or so. I can't bring myself to finish a game anymore. I'm hoping to change that with Pokemon Diamond so I can battle and trade with people.

Finally finished Baten Kaitos Origins, fucking awesome game. Anyone with a Cube that likes RPGs should pick it up.

Currently playing:

Tiger Woods 07 for Wii
Kororinpa
Still slogging through FFXII, its getting a bit boring  :-\ I do really like the characters though.

Probably going to plug in the Dreamcast back in tonight, Ive been meaning to get back into Headhunter and Ninja Warriors

was really good.  One of the best co-op games I've played.  Seems like a good party game.

nearly done with the single player and the online is FUCKING AWESOME.

Used prost's custom class (think mage with no alchemy) and have gotten to level 27 so far.  Doing better than my last playthrough so I don't have to really lower the difficulty.
