What are you playing?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Despite having the copy in my hands for a week, today was the first day I popped in Samurai Warriors 2.  There had to have been about a month or more between finishing DW Gundam and this.  The 360 hasn't been on since then.  Surprisingly, it booted the disc up.

I noticed a lot of terrain pattern changes between the first and the second.  Reviewers got it wrong yet again.  The downside is the bloom lighting is insane.  I'm hoping it is just the maps I've played and the majority of them will be clearer.  Also the mission structures seem a little different than the first.  A lot more action going on but in smaller levels.

Might finally get to level 50 in Shadow Complex today. Watched a nice grindan tips video

Also playing Wolfenstein 3d on XBLA  such a funny game

[Don Flamenco]

Wolfenstein RPG. 

Good shit.

Doom Resurrection

fucking horrible.

[EmCeeGrammar]

COD4. Also tried out Super Smash Bros for Wii, and it was shit.

Hmmm, is this your first Smash game by any chance?

[chronovore]

Just played some Saints Row co-op with Chronovore. Good shit

Yeah, that was a lot of fun. Maero's a fucking pushover with two Saints at once; he's Lucky Pierre. Thanks for the big assist on co-op Brotherhood completion.

We also got in that Mercs 2 play, but because it was such a bug-riddled experience that it has already been half-blocked from my memory. What a frustrating, half-assed game.

COD4. Also tried out Super Smash Bros for Wii, and it was shit.

Smash is pretty good if you give it some time and have any friends at all to play local vs. with.  The adventure mode sucks though.  I never liked any of the smash games before but I really enjoyed the Wii one with a friend or two or three.

Better to just put in Melee.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Went through Dreamfall for about the 6th time now.  The gameplay may be non-existant but I'll be damned if that isn't easliy one of the best stories ever in any videogame.  Nothing comes close.

Dreamfall Chronicals better hurry the hell up.

I really need to look up how to get Damage Inc. to pop... 40 airstrikes and still nothing

I'm playing Muramasa.  It's actually...good.    I'm treating it like Final Fight with stats.  The combat on hard mode is pretty satisfying and challenging.

I was talking to Slime about this just now. I will let him explain it better. He was pissed. But in a funny way.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Bought Batman for the PS3 this afternoon 'cause everyone else seems to be playing it, or have already finished it.  Not much of a batman fan but it seems pretty fun so far.

Wavedashing

indeed

[ch1nchilla]

I'm fucking manning up and spending tomorrow playing Persona 4 and hopefully just finish the fucking thing already. Then I'm going to buy Muramasa on Tuesday.

Also, is Fat Princess worth buying? I'm thinking about getting it just 'cause. That and Shadow Complex.

Wavedashing is overated.  Brawl is a mediocre 1vs1 game mostly because the hitstun required for effective punishment isn't there.  It gets gay fast once someone starts planking or air-stalling.  Its great for friendlies, ffa, or team battle though.  Probably the first Smash where I played with items and found some sets that are pretty fun.  <3 Super Mushrooms and Soccer Balls.

[Rman]

TWEWY.  Fun game.

[The Sceneman]

Just got up to October in Persona 3. When is this game gonna end?! (want to start on P4 real bad)

[Don Flamenco]

trading in Uncharted today, along with copies of Baldur's Gate 2 PS2 and Godzilla PS2 that I got at Blockbuster for $6 (they trade for $20 together.)

Can't decide if I should just put the money towards NGS2 or pick up Persona 4 again.  I still like that game a lot, the only reason I quit is because it's loooooooong.

but I'm also on a playthrough of FFX.  though persona 4 > FFX.

[JaySosa]

Still Blood will tell on my PS2, god this game is awesome. Plus started Loco Roco (the music is insane, started singing during some of the levels ) and Jeanne D'Arc which has pretty basic gameplay for a SRPG but thats fine with me. Graphics are impressive and Cartoon(or Anime) cutscenes are just so damn pretty, wonder why not all (or atleast more) JRPG do this(fuck ingame). And its always fun to beat up tommies  (Wonder how much the game sold in the UK btw). Oh and SMT 2 via SNES emulator, cool to see how the series started though the dungeons are pretty confusing.

 

[demi]

Looks like shit. Is this what PC gaming turns into?

Derp lets buy power sucking video cards and power supplies and run DOS games

[MCD]

[ferrarimanf355]

Just got Puzzle Quest XBLA since it's only 400 points this week. Will play later.

[Beezy]

Just got Puzzle Quest XBLA since it's only 400 points this week. Will play later.

Anything else on sale? Is Puzzle Quest really that good?

[Vizzys]

yes, it is

a steal for 400 points

[Enl]

Blue Dragon-Still playing.

Dragon Quest Caravan Heart- Pretty fun. I like the Suikoden aspect of gathering members to build up your camp, and I also really like the ration system as it adds an almost "rogue-like" element to the traditional turnbase gameplay.

Metroid: Zero Mission- Shadow Complex made me want to start this up again. Already up to Mother Brain but have forgotten the trick on how to beat her.

Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance- Flawed and unbalanced as hell, but I do get some guilty pleasure out of playing this. What's the point of building up hearts in this game when your subweapon+magic uses up the rechargeable magic bar instead?

[The Sceneman]

is the Puzzle Quest DLC cheap too?

[Vizzys]

i think the expansion might still be 700 points and if you get it do it from the start so you can try the new classes

[ferrarimanf355]

Just got Puzzle Quest XBLA since it's only 400 points this week. Will play later.

Right now, no, but the next two weeks should see Lode Runner at 800 points and Pinball FX at 400 points.

[Joe Molotov]

Been playing Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. I didn't really care for the first game, but I'm liking the sequel, it's basically just one big set-piece after another. It's like if Wild Gunman was remade in HD with a story-mode and swearing.

[Don Flamenco]

I fully support Borys' dos gaming

[demi]

I took this relic out, with my recent acquisition



45 and counting (sent 2 to slime, plus have one coming in from muckhole)

[Bebpo]

playing through Ben There, Dan That before moving to Time Gentlemen, Please!  I think I'm almost finished.  Writing is great and puzzles are good so far.

Man, I feel like busting out my N64 and playing some Perfect Dark

[Joe Molotov]

Don't listen to demi, he's a nintard who plays crap like Aidyn Chronicles, Command & Conquer 64, and Cursed Mountain.

[demi]

Joe is just harboring feelings. It is ok boo. You can still violate me.

[ch1nchilla]

OH now I fucking remember why I quit Persona 4 for a while... I just beat a mini-boss and continued through the dungeon, and then OH WAIT, FUCKING GAME OVER at the hands of a completely weak fucking enemy because Yukiko lacks accuracy and couldn't finish it off.

[Bebpo]

Finished Ben There, Dan That.  Good game.  This and the Chzo Mythos have really impressed me in terms of indie adventure game studio titles.  They're better than almost every retail adventure game in the last few years.

Off to start Time Gentlemen, Please! yay

Want to start playing Shadow Complex soon too.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Still playing Batman and have gotten out of the asylum and have just entered the...um...greenhouse?  Probably on my way to fight Poison Ivy.  Now I understand what all the fuss was about.  This game is pretty freakin' sweet.

[Don Flamenco]

OH now I fucking remember why I quit Persona 4 for a while... I just beat a mini-boss and continued through the dungeon, and then OH WAIT, FUCKING GAME OVER at the hands of a completely weak fucking enemy because Yukiko lacks accuracy and couldn't finish it off.

haha, I played it for the first time in a while tonight too.  Studied all fucking day and most of the night (irl) and was all excited to *play* a game and instead went through about 2 hours in game to "find out" if Rise would be the next to go into the TV.  Jeez.  I like the dungeons, but the story shit takes forever.  

Should've played God Hand instead.  

[Mr. Gundam]

I've been playing Gundam U.C. 0081 on the PS3. Not bad at all.

Hate that. I kind of liked the story parts, though. If you're actually playing the game on a somewhat regular basis (as we're obviously not right now), the story sections can break up the repetition of the dungeon crawling.

[bork]

"Yes means no, and no means ANAL."

I started playing Mad World for the Wii.  Holy SHIT, is this game ever over-the-top and ultra-gory.  It's a lot of fun, and I like the idea of being creative in the various ways to kill all the enemies.

[demi]

It's garbage and you should drive off a cliff

[bork]

What's so bad about it?  The only thing that looked like it could be a pain in the ass from a review I saw was having to replay a stage if you get killed by a boss.

[treythemovie]

Been working through Gears of Wars

[chronovore]

The first one? And are you playing co-op or single?

[EmCeeGrammar]

I enjoyed it, but I understand the phrase "rapidly deflating baloon" when the detractors start up again.

It's just frustrating when you realize what's happening rather quickly, but an hour later, one of them is like "hmmmm....I think, maybe, possibly that Rise might be next" and then there's another hour of exposition to figure it out.

[twerd]

we have the n64 on board here at the dorm, so i've been catching up with Perfect Dark, Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, and Super Smash Bros.

...and then if I get bored, i walk across the hall to my friend's room to play some halo 3.

[archie4208]

Beatles Rock Band.  The GUI is a downgrade from RB2 but I don't care since I can sing Get Back.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I think I'm about done with Batman and I gotta say that along with being one of the better games I've played in awhile, I think it's one of the most graphically impressive ones to boot.  Even better than Killzone, imo.

[ManaByte]

Street Fighter 4 on PC. Although the GFW Live players are even more racist assholes than on XBL if that's even possible.

[MCD]

play with japanese people, really nice folks.

[ManaByte]

Japanese people have PCs for gaming?

[MCD]

Japanese people have PCs for gaming?

they do, i see the same gamertags almost every day and they play great.

play with japanese people, really nice folks.

Really? Ive always found the Japanese to be bigger assholes in online games. Especially in Lost Planet 1.5

they were fine with me in SFIV, no rage msgs so far.

[tehjaybo]

I've been playing Infamous for the past two or so days, and really enjoying it.  I just beat it on evil, at a friend's request, but the more I looked at it, I felt bad ass playing as evil, but good had more of the abilities I wanted.  Not to mention, I'm just so used to playing as good.  I really prefer it.  So now I'm going back and i'm going to try playing through as good.  I'm not usually one for playing through something twice unless it's for DEM CHIEVEMENTS, but this game was fun enough that I think I will be able to enjoy it, especially since it should be retardedly easy to stay good with some of these upgrades.

[jiji]

Jesus Christ, I've been playing so much Monster Hunter (Freedom Unite). I'm still HR1 because I've been avoiding certain guild missions, but I just beat Khezu and I'm on to the third block of town elder quests. I've completed a set of Vespoid Armor and now I'm working on Makluva and Cephalos armor sets here and there.

My PSP has never seen so much use as this.

[tiesto]

Japanese people have PCs for gaming?

Yeah, for Falcom games and visual nov... err H games.

[brawndolicious]

I just finished Red Faction and now I'm playing Far Cry 2.  They're both good games but they couldn't be any more different.
