I was literally coming into this thread to proclaim my love for Chinatown Wars. So fucking great - I barely like GTA, let alone thought a portable GTA could be so great.

In short, don't buy. Even if you liked Tex Murphy adventure games, this is not a Psychonauts style the-adv-creator-coming-back-with-his-love-of-advs-still-intact. This is some-dudes-who-made-advs-are-now-looking-for-money-in-casual-gaming-from-non-gamers.

Might start Plants v. Zombies tonight and see how it goes for a someone who gets bored of tower defense games real quick. I'm progressing in Fallout 2 but it's going slow because the towns are so BIG and full of QUESTS. Takes me a good day of playing to clear each town and move on.

I had a whole bunch of 360 games lined up, but disaster struck so I guess I'll be playing the Infamous demo until I can afford another 360. Infamous is great and all, but still.

Maybe I'll replay Sly.

After recently finishing Jak 3 and talking about Jak 2, I almost want to revisit it. I'll probably re-play Soul Reaver 2 instead. Then Devil Summoner 2.

Just beat the game, want to go back through the stages and collect 100% of the items. And maybe design one or two of my own stages. I really liked it, apart from the floaty physics.

Trying to. This game is -really- bad.

demi · « **Reply #74 on:** May 13, 2009, 10:48:52 AM »

There's too much emphasis on sneaking. I keep getting told "I can do what I want" but the game never explicitly says that. It's always "sneak sneak, dont trigger the alarm, lets not go out shooting people"

dark1x · « **Reply #75 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:02:57 AM »

Deus Ex has aged pretty badly as many of its ideas were pretty rough even back in 2000. It was a great game for its time, but that time has passed. I think System Shock 2 holds up MUCH better as most of its ideas still work even today (despite the rough visuals).

I never passed the first level of Deus Ex. I'll give it another try one day and stick with it past the aged mechanics and visuals.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #82 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:35:07 PM »

Deus Ex had an incredible atmosphere and a surprisingly good plot, but it was the skill and augmentation system that really defined it. Of course, if I was to play it again now, I'd activate an augmentation cheat.

I was sort of hoping that Alpha Protocol would pick up the torch while bringing other aspects into modern times, but it seems as if Obsidian decided to also borrow character animation and other less than awesome things from Deus Ex.

It's basically "every other AC in HD." So yes, it's entertaining, and it looks pretty good. I'm not sure about the achievements... Worth picking up though, IMO.

I played 5 hours straight of Universe at War with 2 friends. We all got it on the $5 Steam sale and it was awesome. So much fun learning how to play the game as we went. Game seems pretty unbalanced but whatever. For $5 it rocked.

Plus we were the only 3 people in the ENTIRE WORLD playing the game online. How cool is that!?

Altogether nailed it. DX, even when it came out, was praised only for plot, atmosphere and the feeling of being a game with REAL choice & consequences, sometimes even better than some "real" AD&D RPGs.

It was lambasted for its graphics (stuttered on 90% on PCs) and FPS mechanics (shitty aiming is shitty, so is AI and stealth).

yeah the stuttering on my TNT2 was fucked.

i didnt think the story was that great, but augments and upgrades, inventory and choices on your way of accomplishing your goals were fantastic.

the fps part was shitty until you upgraded your gear, which made side but also sucked

Full voice is only for non-MBL. 520megs or whatever wasn't big enough to contain a few lines in mp3 :\ Shame. I think the voice acting in the endings is really good.

I dunno how much I'll play MBL now that I've got both endings for Sakura, played all the stages on lvl.999 and played through the new EX-map. Since the lvl.999 stages and the EXmap-B are insane and not really fun to play unless you are in the top% of shmup gamers, when I play I'll just do normal rank 1-3 and skip both EX maps, so ummm...I don't really need MBL anymore. The only downside of sticking to original X360 mode or 1.1 is you don't get Sakura which is a shame because I think she's the best character or at least the strongest.

I don't like it nearly as much as the first one, honestly. Terrible music, and I don't think the whole grid-based-but-not movement works well at all. The time travel theme is cool but the game doesn't do anything interesting with it.

I seem to be in the minority that doesn't really dislike the game too much then :'( But yeah, it can't compare with Startropics.

I'm having fun with Gradius Rebirth. It's my first gradius (well I played gradius 3 for about 15 minutes) so I don't know if its supposed to be terrible by series' standards. The slowdown is inexcusable but I'll live with it. Maxing out weapons is rewarding. Something I noticed, level segments sometimes are different on my playthroughs (background, enemies). Is this related to difficulty level or the weapon set I chose?

I have one remaining level to beat on inferno for EDF 2017. With 99.6% completion, I only have 500 of the achievement points.

I'm also halfway through FO3's story and main missions. So much content.

-Maxed out my Fol in SO4, gonna do a bit more grinding and then try taking down the Ethereal Queen (possibly tomorrow).
-Played lots of StarTropics 2: Zoda's Revenge, now on chapter 8 of 9.
-Got back into Wario Land: Shake It!! Collecting treasures that I missed before... Gonna try and finish it this time.
-Up to the final dungeon in DQ5 DS. Gonna grind some more and beat it this week during my lunch breaks.

Played around three or so hours of Oboro Muramasa tonight. I think I'm almost done with the game now. It's been ridiculously easy and the backtracking all the way through one area just to get to another (sometimes with no enemy encounters, so you're just holding right/left for a few minutes...ZZZzzzzz) is getting worse, but it's also been enjoyable enough. After I clear the game, there's still Momohime's quest to do, but AFAIK hers is the same, just starting in the opposite direction. $:-\$ I think you have to clear it with both characters and do some other stuff to finally get the real final boss fight/ending.
