Tribes: Ascend is pretty fuckin' fun.

Despite the pay shop bullshit, it is quite enjoyable. I haven't really played much lately, but as many hours as I put into the Beta I'd have happily dropped $50-60 on a copy of it rather than have everything shopped to shit.

That fuckin' bird. Every god damn time.

Kenka Bancho is fun. Some of the gags are pretty funny. I beat down this one goon and he starts crying about having to leave Kyoto, and my guy is like, "peon rules, breh" SO now I own him. I like the structure where before-lunch is a story bit with your schoolmates and after-lunch is free time to kick the shit out of some banchos. Or your friends might call you up to do something. And I like all the time management to everything.

One complaint is that the save system feels so dated and makes me wish the Vita had a PSP Go style save state system. From what I can tell you can only save at the inn. Since time is a resource, you can either waste it by traveling back to save, or live out the rest of the day, which means you can't stop playing. Sometimes you have to be at certain places at certain times (you learn where other banchos appear by knocking out goons and stealing the itinerary).

and Dragons Dogma is so good holy shit. It's so exciting going on an epic escort quest, then you are totally fucking lost and night comes and Chimeras are fucking you up the ass left right and centre omg. No fast travel was a really good design choice imo.

Kenka Bancho is rad. This one guy, Kage-something, is this wuss shit who's trying to get with this one woman, who happens to like my character. He's passive-aggressively working against my character by conspiring with teachers to get me kicked out. So, I move through the story fighting everyone I see, and along the way there's an option to choose your girlfriend, and I chose Kage's crush. At the end of the school trip the high school boss champ shows up and tells me I kicked the shit out of 200+ youths and dominated 95% of the territory and have proven I'm bad ass enough to fight him. And I do. And I smash his face in. The game ending with Kage crying about his ruined high school memories. My guy's trip was awesome. He's the strongest in Japan.

Game reminds me of River City Ransom. I don't know if they're officially connected or anything.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #17288 on:** August 14, 2012, 09:20:38 AM »

haha the DLC in Dragon's Dogma is hysterical, I bought the quest bundle pack as it seemed like good value, as it contained what was originally 10 pieces of episodic content. Turns out they were all unlock codes, and the 100 quests are actually just 100 collectibles they locked and released as the most ludicrous nickel and diming ever. On the plus side the quest rewards are very very good so it ain't all bad.

Oh well, at least I'm paying Capcom back to profitability!

How should I approach Fallout 3? I played the initial mission and movement and combat felt a bit janky. Should I play it as a shooter or hammer v every time I'm in a fight to engage that pseudo round based combat?

Decided to get back into Risen 2 before getting Sleeping Dogs so I will feel less guilty about my backlog. With the combat fixed it's really enjoyable, no longer feels like I'm doomed anytime some wild boar takes a run at me.

Fallout 3 clicked with me after a couple of hours. In the beginning I couldn't find quests (mainly because I ran past Moira) but now I have some interesting stuff going. Combat also is better, especially in more closed rooms although I still wish there would be proper round based fights.

Just beat Hugo's scenario in Origin... gonna "play" Dear Esther tonite and then take a small breather from games for a few days. Then it's on to Toal's scenario.

Thought Yunica was a bit more fun to play as than Hugo, but Hugo's story was a bit more interesting.

Been playing Risen, what I like about this game is that the island is hostile and if you go to the wrong place you are fucked and the fact that you have to use skill points/money to buff your stats in a meaningful way and extort people Eurojank

But OMG the human models are ever so terrifying!

No, but it has been streamlined. Also it's a pirate game so you have to expect some travelling and smaller islands. The Sword Coast section is a pretty decent size. Now that they've patched the combat and fixed some stuff I can't imagine anyone who liked Risen not liking it.

The only real streamlining is in the combat, by focusing on just one-handed swords and pistols instead of a wide variety of weapons. It works with the way the world is portrayed, though.

Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals - I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. Game is pretty bad, there's something that just doesn't feel right with the combat.

Anyways, they pretty much force me to go to the roguelike-ish Ancient Cave to progress the story. Now I've never been a fan of the whole roguelike genre, it's probably my least favorite of all RPG spinoffs (yes, even more than western RPGs). Always found that shit so frustrating and unfair. So yeah the game pretty much screwed me over by not giving me any antidotes and I got poisoned to death.

Dyad seems a bit simple at first, hasn't grabbed me yet but then again I've only been playing for a little bit. Reminds me of Internal Section but not quite as fun.

Sound Shapes, I'm not used to the physics yet (reminds me of some weird hybrid of Super Meat Boy and LittleBigPlanet) but it seems fun. Don't even bother guessing what stages I tried out first

Spent 20 hours playing Dota 2 before deleting it. The game could be really cool if you have a team of people to play with all the time. But I don't so why bother. Wish there was some offline mode to get to know all the heroes, but there is only bot matches ONLINE (why?). Also don't like the fact a game takes like 40 min. Way too long.
