SF4 and RE5 still have me hooked. I'll put in some more time this weekend. Probably start on one of my backlogged RPGs since I have school off this weekend.

Dunno what I want to do this weekend

At work:

Etrian Odyssey II- Pretty much the exact same game as the first but with some minor tweaks. My current team is Landsknecht, Protector, War Magus, Gunner, and Survivalist. The game seems more difficult than the first one as the FOE battles are absolutely destroying me. Good fun.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup- The potato chips of work games.

Duck Tales- My retro game of the weekend. The challenge is playing the game with one life and see how much loot I can snag before I bite it.

At home:

Street Fighter IV- My Chun-li has become a vicious she-beast now. I'm currently working on mastering Gouken. Trying to play the character without the use of fireball spamming like so many players seem to do.

Fallout 3- I recently received a distress signal and am returning to Vault 101 to see what has happened since I left.

Also I saw Dungeons and Dragons Tactics for sale really cheap at Gamestop. Has anyone here checked it out?

duckman2000 · « **Reply #4 on:** April 10, 2009, 04:26:34 PM »

Some Banjo and COD4, trying to get used to using the 360 controller for COD. Also playing Assassin's Creed (again), so that I can troll it more effectively.

Oh, and

Rock Band 2
Call of Duty 4 – I just need 65 kills with the AK47 and 140 (lol) kills with the MP44 to get my golden AK. I will do this before MW2.
Orange Box – I haven't played HL2 before, so I've decided to see what all the fuss is about. That said, I'm in Route Kanal and it's really boring.

Hopefully it improves.

Nothing specifically.

Still mostly running my PC games through the 1920x1200, 16xAF, 16x AA, Max Settings challenge.

If my friends come over, we'll probably play SF4 again (if one of them has it).

Definitely.

Not only would it look awesome on my PC, I can also just my HRAP2SA on my PC instead of buying a new joystick for the 360 version.

I would have gotten the 360 version if my stick had worked. My first impressions of SF4 were very positive. The game looked much better than I expected.

I could also get the PS3 version so that I can use my current stick but it would annoy me very much to know that I was playing the inferior looking version.

I've been playing a lot of Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield Portable on the PSP lately. We've got my wife's parents staying with us for the weekend, and my parents and some of our friends will be over tonight, so we'll more than likely play some Rock Band 2.

bork · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2009, 07:41:05 PM »

I'm playing the "went back to school and now trying to get used to having assignments/stuyding again" game. It sucks.

Also-

Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2

SHIT PORT, DO NOT BUY. That said, I'm trying to make the best of it, but no dice so far.

Sengoku Basara Battle Heroes

This week's GOTY. Capcom basically took the Gundam Vs. Gundam engine (they developed it for Bandai) and applied it to their Sengoku Basara series. The result is awesome and the game is fun as hell. I love that Capcom is making different types of games with this series rather than endless re-hashes like Koei does.

Otomedius Gorgeous

After having not played this since launch, I went back to it and finally played some co-op and versus with a friend. This got me into the versus mode; really enjoying the boss rush-style game play. There's new DLC for this game (two new characters and a new stage!), but I am still waiting on J-XBL points ordered from NCSX. Hopefully they get more tomorrow...

Oboro Muramasa

Not bad so far; seems to have more to the battle system than Odin Sphere, but it also still seems easy and a bit too repetitive, even for the genre. Yes, it's insanely, jaw-droppingly, HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT GORGEOUS (perhaps the best-looking 2D game ever made?), but I'm not sure how many people would really care about this game if it weren't for its visuals. I only played the first stage (which was just go right, go right, go right, kill enemies, go right, go right, tedious-but-easy boss fight, go left, go left go left [fight no enemies], go to the next stage), BUT things seemed to already get better with the second.

Street Fighter IV

Always playing this! Not going to stop until BlazBlue and KOF XII at the end of June, and even then I doubt I will fully stop playing. SF4 just fucking rocks.

Resident Evil 5

Versus mode!

Quite pricey, but might be worth it since you love SNK games as well. It's probably a better deal than when you pay $100 for that used, low end 360 stick.

Nice, but no way I'd pay $300+shipping fees for that stick. It doesn't even have six buttons so it wouldn't work with everything.

Onechanbara may be the worst game I've played, but not because of the gameplay (mashing X is reasonably fun, and the girl with guns is cool). It's because of one type of enemy.

"Hey here's a dude you have to kill, only we wont tell you how LOL. Then master a combo on timing which you can only learn out of the main mode in practice. Whoops you're not high enough level to do a good enough combo on this guy to kill him LOL. Go back and level up more. Oh and it gets harder if you dont clean your sword, which you must do after every hit on this guy. "

I haven't been this mad at a game in ages. I'm sure they know it's only for sad animu people so they've made it as sadistically hard as possible.

tiesto · « **Reply #36 on:** April 11, 2009, 11:43:41 AM »

I played the worst match up ever yesterday in SF4. My friend was Rose and I was El Fuerte. Rose seems to be the ANTI-EL FUERTE. Her normal sweep and standing kick beats his sweep and standing kick. Her towel punch dash beats his slide/rush. Her dragon punch grab catches him if he tries his super or jumping attacks from his run attack or his rising kick grab...etc. I really had NO IDEA what to do to attack with him against her. Nothing was safe and even when I got hits it felt like he did very little damage. Was >_____< but fun!

poking along in brave fencer musashi. i should've just stayed away from the game and kept my fond memories, but instead i'm trudging through an early 3d platformer with awful collision detection and crap controls. there's even a lot of backtracking at the beginning of the game! the game's still got its charm, but man it feels so old.

i also picked up crackdown and tomb raider anniversary yesterday and i started up tr. seems okay so far, but everything feels like been there done that and lara is way slower and clumsier than the prince or altair. i'm not enjoying it that much. are the the other more recent games in the series any better?

I just finished CoR: Escape From Butcher Bay. It was great but a little overhyped. The stealth sections had way too much trial & error. I'm going to start Dark Athena now I guess. People say it isn't as good but hopefully that's just nostalgia for the first game.

on a real j-rpg tip this weekend, been playing:

Persona 3 - fuckin boss yo
Yggdra Union PSP - fuckin boss yo

and finally bothered to finish hacking my PSP. Been getting into Vagrant Story. Its also fuckin boss. Put about 40-50 hours into it back in '99, not sure If I'll do it again though

And still playing RE5. Just gotta get one more S-rank (5-3, pain in the ass) and then take on Pro mode. Played some more Dishwaher Samurai. The combat is really solid but I cant seem to play more than a couple of stages before I want to play something else. oh well good to have a game thats fun in bursts, unlike fucking Peggle

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #48 on:** April 12, 2009, 08:48:24 AM »

Played a couple hours of PGR4.

I played the hell out of the first two but I really suck at this game. I can't drift worth a shit (unless it is coincidental) where I remember drifting constantly in the first two. Also the courses are extremely narrow for some reason (hoping that changes) but the game is gorgeous. I'll keep playing.

Bebpo · « **Reply #49 on:** April 12, 2009, 11:06:31 AM »

Just hold R, let go for a half second and lightly push in L while turning, then let go of L and get back on R again. The drifting is really arcadey so it's pretty loose and easy.

Well the game has some really nice voice-acting and motion-captured animation and in a pretty serious part where you're talking to the different prisoners in their cells, you come across a guy masturbating. He talks some funny shit to you and then has a motion-captured orgasm.
