Haven't posted here in a while, so here I go.

Started up X-men Legends II earlier today. Started playing it right after finishing up the first one.

[The Dude]

Just finished up Elite Beat Agents (awesome game btw) Now I'm in the home streach in FFXII

[err_ok]

Super Mario 64 on the VC

[Applefiend]

Playing Lost Planet. Gone through the first 3 missions and it doesn't seem to have much up it's sleeve you haven't seen in the demo. I'll play it till the end.

If it's going to be 13 missions of shooting giant bugs in their orange bits and not much else it's going to be nothing but eye candy really. We shall see.

[Ivory_Soul]

I'm playing Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (Xbox) and Call of Cthulhu (that's Ka-thoo-loo): Dark Corners of the Earth (PC). I gotta say CoC is pretty gruesome and has a very creepy atmosphere to it. It's not really an action game more of a go and find this evidence here (and some shooting sequences here and there) but the story is like one of the best I've seen in a game so far. It's very gripping! Haven't tried Dreamfall yet I will later today. BTW Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is probably the most repetitive game I've ever played and gets boring after maybe 5-6 hours of gameplay. Don't spend more than $20 on it! Thank god I just rented it.

I started playing Gears of War again yesterday, it took me a couple matches to not completely suck at the game.

Resistance (first time playing a FPS, i is teh suxxors at the controls)

Welcome to the 21st century my friend :D there are about a zillion FPS' you've missed out on. PM me what systems you have and I'll give you a list of great FPS games you should play.

He has a PC (I assume this because he posted here), so he has the only system you'd ever need for FPSes.

[SuperLuigiBros]

I got Zelda and Monkey Ball when I got my Wii, and since then Ive gotten Red Steel and Rayman. Ive only beaten Zelda so I have to kinda get into all the others but I dont know where to start. Any suggestions?

[PSXBatou]

He has a PC (I assume this because he posted here), so he has the only system you'd ever need for FPSes.

I am a Mac user, I'm not real fond of Windows :) The one PC i have with its Radeon 9250 and 1.5ghz P4 (1.2gb of ram though) suits me fine to play Ultima Online, which is about all i use it for.

Welcome to the 21st century my friend :D there are about a zillion FPS' you've missed out on. PM me what systems you have and I'll give you a list of great FPS games you should play.

Basically my Mac's, a Wii, and a PS3.

[Ihsiin]

I'm playing Chrono Trigger!
This is the first time I'm playing a game that I haven't finished in a long a time.
Perhaps I'll start playing video games properly again.

[dementia]

I am a Mac user

Halo for Mac, and the Marathon Series.

Bungie domination FTW.

[Shadow19]

I've been playing:
Madden 07 (Wii)
Red Steel
Wii Sports
LOZ TP

[Applefiend]

Nearly finished Lost Planet. I was wrong, it wasn't 13 missions of shooting bugs in their orange bits...

There's only 11 missons. :)

Not the blockbuster title I thought it would be,the reviews giving it 8.1/10 are on the money, fingers crossed for the next 360 blockbuster I want, Bioshock. *parp* Think it's around 10-12 hours to finish if you do a bit of exploring, so it's quite a good ride.

Started playing Resistance on hard with a USA game save so I get blood! Resistance on hard isn't that hard to be honest. Escepially with some new weapons. I'll bang through Gears on hard too later, when I've had a chance to forget some of the "puzzles".

I'll get back to FF12 after that, then finish the excellent Zelda, I'm such a disgusting graphics whore, I'll jump anything in 720p. I'm trying not to buy any games till March so I can finish the better (480p/i) games I have.

[the poe collector]

I started playing Shadow of the Colossus today. I like the game so far but the controls are kind of frustrating.

[dementia]

replaying FFIX and SotN

[koten]

I just got Rub Rabbits, so that is in my DS right now.

[Crosman]

World of Warcraft and Warioware Smooth moves.

[Applefiend]

Nearly done with Final Fantasy 12. Freakin' Epic. I want to do a few side questions so I think I'll end up clocking out at 60 hours. Just excellent, game of the year so far, although it won't last the whole year I think, we'll see.

Catching up on some portable games. No new real console games so why not. Got Medal of Honor Heroes, Killzone Liberation, Elite Beat Agents, Yoshi's Island DS, Metal Gear Portable Ops, and a couple others. Good stuff. That PSP still hurts to play after 90 minutes, wish they'd redesign it.

[masteratt]

Counter-Strike: Source (PC): Oh man, my addiction is back :(

Guitar Hero 2 (PS2): Meh, relaxing game to play Bass.

PowerStone Collection (PSP): Fun, fun, fun. But man the loading times sometimes put me off playing the game.

[Matt]

Project Zero II: The Crimson Butterfly (Xbox), Lumines (PSP) and Rainbow Six: Vegas (360)

[Ivory_Soul]

Look at my sig...

[Ivory_Soul]

Basically my Mac's, a Wii, and a PS3.

Well you're shit out of luck for the Mac because NO ONE supports it anymore and there's a reason for that. The only good FPS on the Mac is Unreal Tournament 2004 but you can't play online with the PC guys so there are maybe -200 people on there. For your Wii and PS3...ummm Resistance and that's about it. Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii sucks ass. Oh yeah I also think there's a Delta Force game for the Mac too and I hear that's pretty good. The rest of the Mac games are 3rd party crap. Oh yeah and Halo but it's kinda buggy.

EDIT: Sorry the double post my browser froze up.

forum went mad, apologies for double post.

[Skull Kid]

I've been rotating between the following frequently:

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metal Slug Anthology
Final Fantasy III
Metroid Prime Hunters
Animal Crossing Wild World
Castlevania: Potrait of Ruin

[koten]

I started Red Steel earlier today.

I can't understand for the life of me why it's gotten such mixed reviews. The game is solid and quite a bit of fun. It's nothing close to perfect, but it's deffinatly better than a lot of those 6.0 scores it got.

[the poe collector]

I'm still playing Shadow of the Colossus every few days and I started the Megaman X Collection today.

[Shadow Voa]

Lost Planet single player, since mp sucks so damn much! >_<

Ohwell, thats what GoW is for hehe.

[Applefiend]

Finishing up FF12. It's such an odd game, I'm actually fighting a major boss battle while I'm typing this, but my Gambits and characters are so strong I don't need to give the boss battle any attention, the game plays itself.

And... we're back. *rofl* Rogue Galaxy is nothing like this apparently, have to be awake to play that. But FF12 does what you want, never played an RPG like this before. Niiiiice! No block puzzles or anything, great.

And a bit of Elite Beat Agents I discovered through this site. Second only to Guitar Heroes in rhythm games atm, very good.

[Matt]

Playing a few "oldies" at the moment:

Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Parasite Eve II and Devil Dice (PSX)

Plus:

Rez (PS2)
Fable (Xbox)

[koten]

Started Bionicle Heroes for the DS. Plays almost exactly like Metroid Prime Hunters, but lacks the atmosphere. You go on a linear path, but all things considered, it's acutally pretty good.

[Ivory_Soul]

Sig...Except I gotta note that FEAR isn't all of what it's cracked up to be. I actually believed the hype until I played it and it's like Half-Life 2 meets Condemned. It's REALLY good it's just not like evolutionary or anything...well maybe the AI is I mean it's right up there with GoW! It's also not exactly next-gen it's like current gen and a half. This may have been better on the PC or something I dunno but it is REALLY creepy and the storyline is kind of confusing. The creepiness go to courtesy of Monolith who also developed Condemned.

[Applefiend]

Take that back about FEAR! :)

FF12 all done, empty feeling.

Got the Windows PC out of the cupboard, going to be enjoying some PC gaming this weekend. Company of Heroes beckons. PC gaming is really reviving right now.

For yucks playing Medal of Honor Frontline PS2. First person shooters have really really changed in 3/4 years, it's unbelievable, MOHF is really basic now. Kinda sucks now really. Can't throw a grenade easily, can't melle, it blows now.

Worked out how to melle now. :)

But I'll finish it.

[Ivory_Soul]

Sorry Apple I think maybe the 360 version isn't as good as the PC one or something and this game is like 2 years old anyways so shooters have evolved since then. It's getting better though I'll tell you that :-D I'm debating on an 8.5 or a 9 score. I'm also getting Dead Rising in the mail tomorrow from GameFly I can't wait to play that!

[koten]

Like I've already mocked Ivory with, I started Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime earlier.

It's adorable, lighthearted and quite a bit of fun. The tank battles are probably the best part though, seeing as that's the only place I've had to use any sort of strategy so far.

[Ivory_Soul]

That game looks pretty neat it got good reviews (critics and normal people alike) so that's enough for me to play it. Right now I'm going to pop in Dead Rising and ogle at the thousands of zombies and the thousands of things you can kill them with. This will be fun except I'm not looking forward to the crappy save system the people are talking about.

UPDATE: God I've been playing for about 2 hours now and this is the most frustrating game I've ever played (besides Ninja Gaiden) the save system is an asshole! There are only 3 save spots in the whole freaking mall and you have to run long distances to get there and you can die on the way. If you die you have to load your game and that's a bitch just like Ninja Gaiden except DR is less forgiving. If you die and choose "Save Status and Quit" you can't reload your last game. It saves all your stats and stuff and you can only choose to start a new game next time you play but it gives you the stats you had from before. Escorting the people to save them is a PAIN in the ASS! There is only one way to the place and its at the top of the mall and you have to go all these stupid ways to get there. The 72 hour system is a bit annoying because that means you have to rush the game. A part from that this is a good game and graphics are killer and its very bloody. For some reason you can forgive all that if you SAVE after EVERY mission.

[Applefiend]

Playing more Johnny WW2 games.

Medal of Honor: Frontline - PS2
Past half way mark, it's actually quite enoyable for a nasty old game.

Call of Duty 3 - PS3
In some ways it's actually easy as hell compared to MOH:F. Enemies in MOH only go down with precise headshots, in COD3 you just vaguely pump bullets into them and they go down. You can waste whole rooms of enemies.

COD3 is obviously the better game but MOH:F is suprisingly fun as it's more of a challenge.

After I've finished these two, going on a Ubisoft shooter splurge. (R6V, GRAW1). Don't think I'll play any more shooters for the rest of the year.

[Ivory_Soul]

Apple play Gears of War or Resistence shame on you! MOH:F was really good I remember renting it back in '02 (god that game is old) and the first part in D-Day where you get on the beach just BLEW me away I remember calling 3 friends over to my house just to see it. I booted it up earlier just to see and it's like shit compared to the entrance in COD:FH or even Call of Duty 1. MOH:F was my first REAL WW2 experience though I'm glad I bought that (in '03 GOD that game is OLLDDD). Call of Duty 3 is amazing though I played it on the PS2 first then when I got a 360 I rented it on that. Whatever you do DON'T play it on hard..it's almost impossible to play.

[Applefiend]

Finished them both last year guv!

Yeah, MOH:F really sucks now but I like to play old games now and again. Makes you appreciate the new games, and you don't end up on forums at 1am going "Hur hur, this looks like a high res PS2 game". No dude... You play MOH:F then COD3 afterwards you'll go "Wooooaaaaah!".

Enjoying COD3 a lot, even playing it online which I never never do. And won a few ctf games(no.1 on the winning team), not bad for an old joker.

PS3 version is pretty sweet, I prefer it to the 360 version because of the motion control. Hold the sixaxis up to steer the jeep, twirl it to set a charge, push it to the side to melle a guy, I've even used it to paddle a boat. Pretty cool. I'll be happy finishing it on normal. Very decent single player campaign.

It is a little buggy though. Few scripting problems, objects insecting, but you know... What you gonna do. And those Nazis still crazy

"Where we going to set up the gun emplacement?"
"I know, by these exploding barrels".

Not my game of the year material but hey... Better than Genji 2! :)

[Ivory_Soul]

Yeah COD3 is best on PS3 because of the sixaxis controls and it blows on the Wii. I finished Gears of War last night on Hardcore and RAAM was easier on Hardcore then he was on Casual for some reason...have I lost it? I unlocked 3 achievements in a row though after that...I wish more games were that reasonable *I'm looking at you F.E.A.R.*. I sent back both GameFly games so I'm hoping to get Lost Planet and something...everything's on short wait so who knows. I'll just finish up GRAW, Revenge, and Call of Cthulhu until then.

[Ivory_Soul]

GameFly sent me Sid Meier's Pirates! for PSP. It has received better reviews then the console versions so I'm going to check it out. Hopefully they send me Lost Planet tomorrow.

[Xer0]

Well right now im just playing World of Warcraft. My wiimote ran out of bateries, again, and im too lazy to get new ones since its so damn cold outside. And besides, i can finally go into Outland, the expansion area, which gives you a hell of a lot of gold, experience, and kickass items to replace what you spent the last year to get in a good hour, its sweet since i didnt waste the last year like everyone else did :D

[koten]

I started Shadow of the Colossus today...

One word seems to stick out in my mind over and over the more I play it.

Overrated.

[Ivory_Soul]

I think SotC didn't get enough hype or respect.

[the poe collector]

I borrowed the first Guitar Hero from a friend and have been playing that, and I started playing Shadow of the Colossus again for the the first time in around two weeks. It's starting to take an hour just to find and kill each colossus now.

I tried playing the game awhile back after playing God of War and I sucked at the game, I couldn't kill one colossus. GoW controlled perfectly and then switching over to Colossus funky controls messed me up.

[curryking1]

I started Shadow of the Colossus today...

One word seems to stick out in my mind over and over the more I play it.

Overrated.

You're overrated, GS gave you a 7.2.

;)

[BigfootGus]

Lost Planet, Phantasy Star Universe, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Need For Speed Carbon, Guitar Hero 1

[dork]

i be playing Lost Planet. super fun, but oh so short.

[koten]

You're overrated, GS gave you a 7.2.

;)... The fuck are you talking about?

[Ivory_Soul]

I don't know what he's talking about I didn't get it either.

[curryking1]

It was a joke... you said it was overrated, and I guess in a playful manner to disagree, in a friendly way, I said you were overrated?

I didn't mean offense by it.

[koten]

*scratches head*

Right...

[Applefiend]

I got it.

<*Holds up sword to show the direction of punchline*>

COD3 continues, war is heck. I think after mission 6 you see all the good stuff, it runs out of suprises. Although the graphic peak seems to be the start of mission 10, gorgeous.

[Applefiend]

I'm not wrong, totally runs out of new ideas after mission 6, and the first 6 missions are the best. Finished that.

I don't think it was ever released in UK/Kiwiland so I have here on import... Zone of Enders : The 2nd Runner. Started that.

[PSXBatou]

I've added Sonic for PS3 & Ape Escape 3 to my "now playing" list :)

[Shadow Voa]

Sonic the Hedgehog for 360 and Chrono Cross on my PS3... Plus some casual leveling in Outlands in WoW.

[curryking1]

Chrono Cross!!!!! Hell yeeaaaa!!! Amazing game.

Still playing RE4, gonna get back into some past RPGs again. LoD is one I've been playing when I can lately as well. I think I'm gonna start a new Chrono Trigger file, I've only been thru that game once, albeit I played it for a hella long time.

[³¹¹]

NCAA Football 07
Viva Piñata
GRAW

[Ivory_Soul]

I pity Shadow and batou for playing Sonic the Hedgehog...you guys are wasting your time. I downloaded Uno and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved from XLA so I'll be playing those for a lil while. I played Sid Meier's Pirates! for PSP for about 3-4 hours before sending it back to GameFly. It's really good but it's really repetitive. I will be getting Lost Planet: Extreme Condition tomorrow so I'll see how that is.

[Applefiend]

Finally started playing Resident Evil 4. See if I can bang through it in 10 days.

It seems I'll mostly be playing Last Gen games this year. Hopefully next gen will start for me properly in 2008. :) But I'm playing good gear.

[Ivory_Soul]

Good luck Apple...RE4 takes about 20 hours to beat and you'll want to play it again after you're done. When you beat the game you can use everything you had when you start over again. That's why everyone likes playing it so much. The only thing you restart are the levels. I got through 2 missions in Lost Planet and I have to say it's not getting enough credit. This game is on par with Gears graphics wise (maybe even more!) and the gameplay is really fast paced and really fun. This may be one of my favorite 360 games. I also finished downloading Rayman Raving Rabbids for PC and so far it's pretty damn funny and the mini games are really fun.

[curryking1]

Play pro mode! RE4 is so intense on pro mode, it's wild!! You need to be experienced to do it, and play the game really cautiously and play a game of odds, strategise, etc etc much more, but when you master normal mode, pro is a very excellent challenge. RE4 got WAAAY more replay from me because of the extra difficulty, it made the game sooo much more scary and intense.

At first, during normal I sucked, so I had a blast trying to survive, then I got too good for normal, so I moved to pro, it was like I was playing the game without having played it before, just it was even better I think during pro mode. I loved it.

[Alias]

Playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Guitar Hero 2. In act 5 normal in MUA. I plan on playing through on the harder difficulty after. In Guitar Hero 2, I'm in the last section in expert mode. (Beast and the Harlot, Institutionalized, Misirlou, Hangar 18, Freebird)

[[[tavis]]]

amped3 / ssx on tour



i love snow based games

[koten]

Phoenix Wright 2.

Pretty much just the first game with new cases, but I don't see that as a bad thing.

[Applefiend]

Good luck Apple...RE4 takes about 20 hours to beat and you'll want to play it again after you're done..

Yeah, I haven't played it until now as I had a bit of a senior moment with it (cos I'm getting old) when I first got it... You're not supposed to shoot people in the head all the time, that just annoys them. :) Already I'm thinking I should restart as I bought all the wrong powerups.

Yeah, I liked Lost Planet a lot, you'll like it too. In some ways I prefer the graphics in Lost Planet to Gears, although Gears is technically greater. I definately prefer it to Dead Rising too.

Gears of War and Tony Hawk's Project 8. THP8 is somewhat disappointing like most reviews pointed out, but I still can stomach it.

[Ivory_Soul]

TH8 was really good ^^^. Rayman Raving Rabbids on PC and Lost Planet on 360 for me. Rayman is really fun and hilarious and the Rabbids are really cute.

EDIT: FUCK RAYMAN! Those damn mini-games are harder then hell! I couldn't get past this one mini-game so I gave up. The controls are too sensitive and it just doesn't feel completely right on the PC. It should have just stayed on the Wii. So much for that...damn you koten now I can't beat it to get ahead of you...I'm counting on you Lost Planet *kisses it passionately* now leave me be...

[koten]

LMFAO

You're post sounds terribly bi-polar

[Ivory_Soul]

GameFly sent Stars Wars: Knights of the Old Republic! Time to finish up those Xbox exclusives!!!

[masteratt]

Black

Wtf, what a hidden gem. Never thought this would be this interesting and exciting but it is.
Just a mindless shooter it ain't.

Rented it, going back in two days but I am at the bridge now and I think it's near the end?

PS: The plot sucks ass and so does the cut-scenes.

[Gilly]

Ocarina Of Time :)

[Applefiend]

Playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance on PS3. Not sure I'd recommend it, but I'm enjoying it....

[Shadow Voa]

Chrono Cross!!!!! Hell yeeaaaa!!! Amazing game.

Still playing RE4, gonna get back into some past RPGs again. LoD is one I've been playing when I can lately as well. I think I'm gonna start a new Chrono Trigger file, I've only been thru that game once, albeit I played it for a hella long time.

DO EVERY SIDEQUEST!!!! THere is quite abit of sidequesting in CT which really added that extra replay value!

[curryking1]

I know, I'm definitely aiming for that! Even when you can immediately beat the game, there's like a million things to do! I love it. I've only just passed the bike race part, I have no time... so annoying lol. Only logged 2 hrs and I've been playing for 2 weeks hahaha.

It's so hard to believe such a large game came on the SNES, it's unbelievable. Earthbound, CT, and others, just wow, SNES forever.

[Shadow Voa]

Oh man your a Legend of Dragoon fan as well? Now that was an amazing rpg that wasnt made by Square!! I hold this in my top 5 rpg franchises of all time!!

[Ivory_Soul]

I wipe my own ass. Since that's not about what I'm currently playing and considered spam I'll say something else. Yeah masteratt Black was really good. It was a hard motherfucker to beat and ultra short with only 8 levels but it was really fun, and those cut scenes are EA's thing now. They did that with NFS and like almost every game. It's kind of annoying.

[Applefiend]

Playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance on PS3. It's not too bad actually...

[the boney king of nowhere.]

all i ever play these days is guitar hero and fifa 07 with bezz. (not that any of you know who he is...)

yeah, we completed hard on guitar hero yesterday.

[the poe collector]

I've been going back and forth between Guitar Hero 1 and 2 and playing some NCAA Football. I'll probably play bits of a bunch of different games and try to complete some of the ones I haven't finished until God of War 2 comes out next month.

[Ivory_Soul]

OK GameFly sent Jade Empire not KOTOR. They messed it up but that's ok I wanted JE more.

[rpgamer_2k5]

Playing....
- Suikoden (PS)
- A really slow run of Twilight Princess (GC version)
- Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2 (GBA)
- New SMB (DS)

Thinking about playing RE4 and GoW.

[Applefiend]

Question....

Resident Evil 4 on shiny new black PS3 wirelessly. It's only 19.99 and has an extra mission at the end.

or...

Resident Evil 4 on shiny new white Wii. It's in my cabinet over there.

Be aware I find Dual Shock 2s/SixAxises strangely comforting, Wavebirds, slightly less so.

[curryking1]

Just play it on the Wii, you already have it. They are both essentially the same game so doesn't matter at all.

[Ivory_Soul]

RE4 for PS2 has more than 1 mission. It has the missions of Ada Wong which is really fun and that lasts about 3 hours. I forgot what else is on there but spend the $20 for the PS2 version it's worth it.

[curryking1]

Why couldn't they make the stupid attache case larger! I have the frigging typewriter and inf. launcher on pro, but I want more space dammit! Not enough damn space! Argh!! Just two more columns of boxes, all I ask, or at least make the damn typewriter 2 by whatever instead of the fat 3 by whatever, jeez lol.

[koten]

^ You can buy bigger ones. (the Biggest being XL which I believe you get in Chapter 4)

Anyway, I'm going back to playin Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time for GBA. It's one of those games I started FOREVER ago, but didn't finish. This is the year of finishing up old games, so this is working to that goal.

[Death & Eggs]

I'm currently switching between Rainbow Six:Vegas and Lost Planet for the 360.

[rpgamer_2k5]

I may purchase the PS2 version since I purchase many of the RE-makes that go on various platforms. It all began with the Saturn and still now, I cannot stop replaying the titles. Unfortunately, I have yet to unseal my copy of RE0 and RE4 which is pretty sad. O_O

Also...

Replaying Shenmue.

[Ivory_Soul]

I went through my collection of downloaded PC games (sue me) and I recompiled them onto only 2 DVDs and I'm currently playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault-Spearhead and then I'll play Breakthrough. I now feel what Applefiend did. FPS' have evolved over the past 5 years and I can't believe we thought these were sims. Now they're considered arcade shooters. Spearhead was made in '02 and BT was made in '03...still pretty old though. The graphics make my eyes water they are so bad.

[dork]

sonic the hedgehog on 360..........yuck.

[Ivory_Soul]

I feel sorry for you dork. It looks like the shit reviews weren't enough to keep people away from that game...that's why people review games.

[dork]

i read a ton of reviews for it but i still had to rent it and see for myself. but seriously, STAY AWAY FROM THAT GAME BECAUSE IT REALLY SUCKS

[the boney king of nowhere.]

ok.

[curryking1]

^ You can buy bigger ones. (the Biggest being XL which I believe you get in Chapter 4)

XL is too small, that's the one I was talking about lol! I need XXL!!!

Mortal Kombat 4 and Syphon Filter on my PSP...yeah you heard me PS1 games on my PSP! And noooo these aren't from the Sony store because, for one, MK4 isn't on there yet! I'm using Dark Alex's Custom Firmware and he hacked the official Sony PS1 emulator and you can use your own PS1 games! Now all I need is a 2 GB MS...those are less then $50 now though. I can play Chrono Cross, FF 7, 8, 9...you hear that curry I can play those on the go! It's sweet! I'm also playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough and Jade Empire...JE isn't as good as I thought...it's cut scenes every two seconds and simple annoying combat. The story isn't exactly superb either.

[curryking1]

^You sneaky son of a gun! Hahahhahaha. I am t3h jealousy!!!!

EDIT: Got some new games! Yaaaaaaaaa!! Picked up SOTC and Rogue Galaxy today, gonna start off with SOTC! Yay games!

EDIT2: Ok THAT IS *****NG WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE!

SOTC is the most beautiful game I have ever come across. No, the graphics are not that amazing technically compared to next gen, no siree, but I just want to say, I would rather look at this piece of wonderful work rather than any screenshot of anything else, any video of anything else, any gameplay of anything else. The artistic beauty of the game has captured me, holy ****! WHAT IS THIS! This is madness, the motion blur for the camera, the beautiful animation, the INSANELY large world, the joy of just riding across the biggest damn plains I have ever seen! WOW! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! HOT DAMN MAN! I can see endlessly! The splashing of water! The EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME! The waves even roll!!! The waves that hit the beach are mofoing 3D! Holy frigging crap! The cinematic camera angles!!! Wow!!! The beauty, o my dear lord the beauty!

I don't care about graphics anymore, graphics don't mean squat! Visuals, aesthetics, THAT is the nature of beauty, SOTC is another epitome and perfect example of a beautiful game. F***! So hawt!!!

Next gen sucks so far compared to this! It's nothing compared to this visual triumph, this feast to the eyes, SOTC just kicked everything next gen in the teeth. THIS is how you make a good looking game.

P.S. I love the cinematicness, almost like RE4 in how it was cinematic, but the method this game uses for it's type of game is even more cinematic. I hope future games can use these kinds of views. Seriously, I don't give a crap about fully 3D positional view crap anymore, I want the most beautiful view of the action, SOTC delivers the most beautiful view of the action, straight from the game developers hands, to your eyes, wonderful, I love it.

This is the stuff I'm talking about. MGS, cinematic angles, I loved them. They may have been too limited. But now look at SOTC, it gives you limited angles, but it gives you the angles you want to see from, the most beautiful angles, the angles that make the game look unbelievable from all respects. Gaming needs more of this, frig man, this is just wicked.

[Ivory_Soul]

Yes bathe in the beauty of SotC curry...I loved that game to death and got it for my b-day in '05 unfortunately I only played it once. I'm also playing more PS1 games like Crash 2 and 3, Spyro 3, THPS1. I NEED A 2GB MS!!1!!$@@@!

[curryking1]

Damn, the motion blur effect is fantastic, and so is everything else about the gfx, when you swing the view around, it totally gives an effect like a PS1 CG clip that has it's view swinging around (kind of reminds me of those parts in PS1 RPGs like the FFs that let you run around during a CG sequence, but this is ten times better), this game is fantastic in all regards. I haven't popped in RG yet lol! I'm not a fan of multitasking. Agro is one damn smart and beautiful horse btw. I think he is by far the best AI companion I've met in a game, wow. Talk about immersive, damn...

Can someone please slap me for not picking this up earlier? Thanks. Two or more would be appreciated as well.

[Applefiend]

Bored of the same old same old, jRPGs and shooters, and run out of PS3 games (noooooooooo!).

Starting playing Ace Combat 5, may follow that with Ace Combat 6.

[Garfunkel]

oblivion, soon supreme commander and company of heroes. then maybe C&C3

[koten]

I started MGS2 earlier...

I'm amazed at how terrible Raiden is. I mean, I knew he was bad, seeing as how often he's made fun of, but GOD DAMN. Everything he does is so freaking ridiculous.

[nemesis121]

I started playing Guild Wars a Week ago and totally forgot about all my other games, Free online RPG Rocks.

[curryking1]

Hey! Raiden is awesome. He is an acquired taste lol. MGS2 I think it my favourite MGS.

Finished off SOTC yesterday, in one sitting, played for a looong time hahahha. Started Rogue Galaxy, it's throwing so much at me at the beginning, I am quite taken aback, very different style of RPG, satisfyingly fresh at the same time. Like a Dark Cloud 2 but more RPG than Zelda-adventure esque.

Don't play Belkan War! AC6 sucks balls dude it's the worst AC. Just play 5 and be happy if you play 6 it'll ruin it.

I bought MGS2 like 4 years ago and got to the part with Raiden and stopped playing. I didn't know he sucked or anything since I didn't finish MGS1 when that came out either. I'll be playing MGS1 on my PSP though! Once I get a bigger memory stick...

[the poe collector]

I pre-ordered God of War 2 today and played the demo, which has a high badassity level

I'll probably play it over and over again until the actual game comes out.

[Applefiend]

Will do, in Ivory Soul we trust. I'll stick 6 on trademe,

I liked the bit where Raiden kept slipping on bird s*** in MGS2, I'm easily amused. :)

Played through GoW2 demo. Niiiice!

My new USA PS3 arrived, so I'm popping in PS2/PS1 games all day. I've had this pile of classic PS1 NTSC RPGs I couldn't play on my PAL chipped PS2 for ages.

Might play FF9, or Legend of Dragoon, start simple. Then move onto Chrono Cross, Xenogears or FF Tactics later. I've finished none of these.

ANTICLIMACTIC TO THE MAAAAAAAXXXXX!

[the poe collector]

I'd rather play part of the battle on the demo than have the whole thing spoiled before I buy the game.

Whatever, I guess that's just me.

Okami.
10/10. Don't f'ing argue with that. Magical game.


Makes the wait for GOD OF WAR II much easier.

God Of War II.....:drool:
Better than any next-gen game currently out! ...Actually so is Okami!

[speed stick]

Damn, to be honest I'm not playing anything. Not for weeks. I might have to check out the arcade for some games to keep me somewhat entertained.

Yeah i totally agree, he almost made me stop playing MGS2. But upon further inspection he isnt that bad and if anything highlights Snakes badassness so much more.

As for me, im continuing on my MGS loving and playing some MGS3, it has yet to truly hook me like 1 and 2 but the first encounter with Ocelot was pretty cool, i just cant get quite used to the voice yet. Also Zelda TP, i ran out of batteries...again.

[Fiend]

Just got Burnout Revenge. That game is pretty damn fun.

[dork]

i've been playing sonic for a few days and it was a kick in the nuts. i think i'm gonna take a break for a while.

[Garfunkel]

worms world party :)

[Ivory_Soul]

Lots of PSX games on my PSP. I just need to buy my 2GB memory stick on Friday and I can play ALLL of them! Right now I'm playing Syphon Filter (can never get sick of that game), Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and after I beat SF I'll start Dino Crisis II. I'm STILL trying to finish Revenge 360 and GRAW on hard.

[koten]

Just finished MGS2. Damn good fun. Did anybody else notice the foreshadowing to MGS4?

Anywho. I'm about to pop MGS3 into the old PS2. I'm really excited to be back in control of Snake (or rather... a Snake), though I did end up liking Raiden when all was said and done.

[Silent Warrior]

new super mario bros and mario kart.

[curryking1]

Just finished MGS2. Damn good fun. Did anybody else notice the foreshadowing to MGS4?

Is that a serious question? Because if it is, I'll have to come to your house and slap you, along with the other MGS nuts on E-mpire.

Uhh to keep on topic, still playing Rogue Galaxy. I keep getting the feeling they didn't very much polish the boss battles, I got my bum handed to me the last two until I had to level up quite a bit, and this next one I have to fight.. one on one.... and I'm getting destroyed. I've done a lot of mixing and so on, and certainly leveling up and getting awesome items, but something feels unpolished for this one boss fight. This boss fight really shouldn't be this frustrating and tedious in how they function, because it quite put me off and shocked me, I was having an awesome time everywhere else. I'll manage it though, it's still a great game.

[Garfunkel]

hopefully get supreme commander in the mail tomorrow. :)

[[[tavis]]]

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo crackdown and nba street. awesome

[the poe collector]

Switched over from playing Guitar Hero 1 to 2, and still playing the GoW 2 demo every day or two.

[speed stick]

I actually started UNO up like 10 minutes ago and went to join a game but instead it made me the host and I was like "fuck this" and quit.

[Applefiend]

FF9 continues... Nearly off the first disk, I have achieved NOTHING I tell you.

Got the Bluetooth headset hookup for Resistance. Guys who play Resistance sound very civilised... It won't last. :) Need to practice, terrible at Resistance online, still pushing all the buttons for COD3. :)

Played Resistance online, just got a headache. :( Ahhh....

And pretty much just twiddling my thumbs waiting for the big games. Virtua Fighter 5, Flow, online Motorstorm, Lair, Oblivion PS3, yadda yadda.

*twiddle*

[Fats]

Streets of Rage II via Genesis Plus.

[Ivory_Soul]

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Marvel VS Capcom for PSX. Just finished Syphon Filter...god I can never get sick of that game! Love the one shot kill code makes it even more fun :D Gamefly just sent Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for 360 and Conker: Live and Reloaded for Xbox so I'll be playing those :D

[HeroOfTimeGCN]

Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA - Arcade

Everyday, it's part of my new regimen to lose weight. It's also making me a hell of a lot better than I used to be, beat my first 6 footer song yesterday.

[Applefiend]

The man plays video games, they have a posiive effect. Suck on that Jack Thompson. :)

The mania for sixaxis continues. Picking up old NTSC games tourists have bought on holiday for peanuts. GTA3 for $5.

[speed stick]

I broke my streak of weeks of no playing today. I got sick of reading magazines and playing my old DS games at work today so i went to ebgames on my lunch. We can do almost anything we want while there is no work at my workplace which owns.

I bought Super Mario Bros DS. Its pretty cool so far. Will have to play the shit out of it more tommorow.

civilisations IV

[masteratt]

Got back into GT4! yay!

I always use to mess about in Arcade mode but now finally took on GT mode to get my 0.2% complete game upto 1%!

*tempted to play again*...

See you guys in a bit!

[Ivory_Soul]

Dino Crisis II for PSX on my PSP. DAMN THOSE GRAPHICS are amazing for a PSX game! They look almost like a PS2 game. They are static backgrounds but still they look amazing.

[Applefiend]

Looking for crap but old school platformer to play, tried a little Crash Twin Sanity. It's horrible. It's what bad games are all about. "I got killed, but not because I messed up, but because the level design or tech messed up". Abandoned that one. Life's too short for bad games.

Was old school though. Wish Nintendo would just make me New Mario 64, they made me New Super Mario Bros, and lo, we rejoiced.

Virtua Fighter 5 and Fight Night Round 3 for PS3 turned up, and they're just awesome. Rogue Galaxy turned up, the 480i fuzziness is freaking me out a little, but it's good stuff.

Playing GTA3 to the end. You forget how good it was. Never finished it.

[Matt]

Playing GTA3 to the end. You forget how good it was. Never finished it.

=-o

For shame.

[Ivory_Soul]

*Hangs head* I never finished GTA3 either :( or San Andreas *gets slapped twice* I deserved that. Right now I'm playing Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for 360 and Conker: Live and Reloaded for Xbox...I still haven't played them because some family stuff has come up but I will probably tomorrow. I'm going old school to Apple...I'm playing all the PS1 games I missed. I'm also playing Ridge Racer 4 for PSX while I wait for my 2GB memory stick to arrive.

[Applefiend]

Some more $5 PS2 games arrived in the mail. Tony Hawk 3 is the current favourite. I've been flicking between Tony Hawk Project 8 on PS3 and Tony Hawk 3 on PS2, it's unbelievable how they managed to screw up such a great game so badly.

Tony Hawk 3
Smooth smooth frame rate
Easy to pick up gameplay
Tons of network play options
Great music

Tony Hawk Project 8
Diabolical frame rate
Long very boring tutorials
Network code removed
Terrible music

Tony Hawk Project 8 is just plain vile. I can see it ending up on ebay pretty quickly. Unlike Tony Hawk 3 which I may start playing again.

And speak of the devil, Syphon Filter Omega Strain arrived. Worth $5? :)

On the subject of great games that have been screwed up, Spyhunter 1 for PS2 also turned up. Awesome game.

GTA3 continues...

[Fats]

Currently playing Ridge Racer Type 4, quite possibly the best introduction to a game ever, second only to the introduction of the original Gran Turismo. By no means the best RR game in the Series in my opinion, I think that title goes deservedly to Rage Racer. :)

Good times! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITXQRRKB_9Y)

[Garfunkel]

homeworld, homeworld 2, supreme commander, oblivion and soon GOW2

[D3adcell]

Just got rainbow six vegas today. It is an awesome game, I almost want to quit playing though and wait until I get my HD TV because I know it will be even better then.

[Ivory_Soul]

Currently playing Ridge Racer Type 4, quite possibly the best introduction to a game ever, second only to the introduction of the original Gran Turismo. By no means the best RR game in the Series in my opinion, I think that title goes deservedly to Rage Racer.

I just tried out R4 a couple of days ago and couldn't play it. After playing Ridge Racer for PSP this kind of ruined it for me (and I was playing R4 on my PSP as well). Right now I'm playing Syphon Filter 2 (on my PSP of course) and Mortal Kombat: Unchained on my PSP. I played 2 levels of BF2 and sent it back. It's WAY to arcadey for a BF game I mean it's like you go in a level with like 20 guys or so and you have to run to point A-B and complete these objectives with BF style gameplay. It was also kind of boring and I almost fell asleep. The PC version is soooo much better.

[the poe collector]

I started playing the first God of War today to get ready for the sequel.

[Ivory_Soul]

Yeah you've really prepared yourself there poe...I can't wait until GoW 2 but unfortunately I have to wait awhile before buying it...pre-ordering is now out for me :(. Anyways I'm just playing MKU for PSP and I gotta say people really underrate this game. It's better then Tekken and is almost better then Deception was if it weren't for the lesser graphics. The game is smooth and solid and feels like a great port...if only they didn't just rip 3 Deadly Alliance characters out and stick them in here...only one fatality for them :(.

[9thPower]

homeworld, homeworld 2, supreme commander, oblivion and soon GOW2

ahhh... homeworld my most memorable strategy PC game, such an amazingly great story, god, SPOILERS (Lol) when i saw Kharak, the higaran home planet being burned I was really in stroked in awe and terror what an epic story man.... When I got to the end, after 2 years without playing it (was to young, the first level with the guardian of... was damn HARD! couldn't finish it) but when i got to the end... well, it was amazing, such epic battles, the turanic raiders, the junk graveyard, salvaging enemy vessels, the ghost ship.. ohhhh.... the memories.... damn you for making me play it again *insert Cd* *start Instaling*.... Thanks! :hugegrin:
Sadly I didn't buy HW2.... but the demo was awesome.... Lol, its like Half-life... Most nostalgic FPS to me(and one with the best story), but I still have to play the second. shame on me. :unsure:

Anyway I'm having a blast playing Killzone with my little brother, lol great tactics we make, us Vs 4 bots, he draws them out and then I shoot them while they focus their fire on him, or vice-versa, so cool. And of course Road rage in BR3, it so much fun, ahhh... I missed playing with the kid (specially when we curse at each other :) ). So nostalgic... the PS times, GT, Tekken 3, RR2... (me playing and him getting freaked out because of mister T or the "fatman". Lol like: o "Gordo" vem ai!! *grita* (the "fatman" is coming!! *screams*) :laugh: "Like a sissy girl, in sissyland" :troutslap

[Gaul]

I've been playing World of Warcraft again alot lately....

Let the verbal attacks commence

[rpgamer_2k5]

civilisations IV Not bad. ;)

Curry_King, how does Rogue Galaxy stand story-wise? I am going to be picking up that title very soon so I'll be able to have my say on the story once I go through DDS2 and Wild Arms 3 (and a re-run of Skies of Arcadia if time permits).

[Applefiend]

GTA3 is coming to an end, after all the whining I do about GTA games that are too long it's quite short actually. It's pretty basic drivin' and shooting, Vice City and San Andreas are so much better.

Bought Jumping Flash off the PS Store for my PSP, more difficult than I remember. It's region free, it works on my Japanese PSP.

See if I can cram in Grandia 3 before the Kratos cometh. (Yeth.. Cometh..)

[Ivory_Soul]

I'm playing Chili Con Carnage and SOCOM 2 on my PSP. Chili is a really crazy game...Mexicans in chicken suits...can't get more loco that that :D. The gameplay is really innovative...it has the Max Payne/Matrix shooting style but you have to score points...think Tony Hawk with guns...the pick ups are crazy as well and this is just really fun. SOCOM 2 is A LOT better then the first...the controls are still troublesome but not nearly as much as the first. Since there's a lock on it feels kind of arcadey and easy but that's ok. The online always kicks ass :D. I'm also playing Burnout: Dominator on my PSP and it's disappointing. Too much like Revenge and it feels like EA is just milking it until Burnout 5...

[HolyPaladin]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)
Burnout Dominator (PS2)

[Ivory_Soul]

My friend both of those games are better on PSP ^^^ Anyways I'm playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Burnout Dominator on PSP.

[Garfunkel]

call of duty 2

and of course homeworld BUT IT IS TOO DARN HARD!!!

and supreme commander - good game but the AI IS SOOOOOOOO STUPID! THE UNITS GO ONE AT A FUCKING TIME AND THE STUPID FORMATIONS BARELY WORK!!!

[Gaul]

call of duty 2

Possibly my favorite game ever outside of all the Blizzard titles

[the poe collector]

I finished playing God of War today, and now I wait...

[D3adcell]

Got Ninety-Nine Nights the other day at gamerush for 15$. They better make a sequel to this game, it is just too awesome. Though alot of things need worked on for a sequel.

[Ivory_Soul]

N3 was horrible!!! How can you say that?! It was the most god awful thing I hope they burn the sequel! Anyways don't play THPS3 for PS1 it sucks compared to the PS2 version! Marvel: Ultimate Alliance kicks ass and is really fun and I haven't played Burnout: Dominator enough to say much...except that it's too much like Revenge.

[curryking1]

THPS3 was soooo the pinnacle of the THPS series, that game was freaking amazing!!! I can't believe I forgot to bring that one with me.. :( O well, I'll be back soon!

[D3adcell]

The gameplay is fun. The story sucks ass and cinematics don't make any sense, though the gameplay is there. They need to improve upon it though for a sequel and it would be alot of fun.

[Ivory_Soul]

Yeah THPS3 is my favorite TH game of all time. The best version is the PS2 version just don't get the PS1 or 64 version curry lol you'll hate it. After playing the PS2 version it ruins it for you to play it on inferior consoles.

[curryking1]

Ya man, I know, after I beat THPS3, I thought to myself... this wouldn't be nearly as good the way it was made on the PS1 or 64. I couldn't go back to THPS2 either... THPS3 just blew up the extreme skating world.

I remember there was another cool skateboarding title on the PS1... it was a lot more realistic, suprisingly for me I actually think I liked it even after so much THPS.

I think it had Daewon Song in it or something, I forgot the name of the game.... But I could just be remembering only the good parts about it, I haven't played it in a long time (the non THPS one I'm trying to remember).

I'm looking forward to SKATE from EA though! That game looks wicked! I watched it and it felt like being reintroduced to THPS3 oddly enough lol. Great graphics and also another new take on skateboarding. This one's on the realistic side of the spectrum though, way on the realistic side, but I think it might have a lot going for it.

O and uh.... started playing FF IX from the beginning again because I have no games hahahah.

[Ivory_Soul]

That game was called Street Sk8er I remember that and I played that before I even heard about THPS and it was great fun. Except I played number 2 which was a lot better. THPS was way better though.

[curryking1]

I wish I still had them both, I really want to play 'em. I loved 'em both. I owned all the THPS games up to four, and never owned the other, so THPS got a lot more playing lol.

And I lied. I didn't play FF IX like I thought I would. I played Syphon Filter lol :) Only beat the first level.. no time.... :(

[Bsack]

Got Ninety-Nine Nights the other day at gamerush for 15$. They better make a sequel to this game, it is just too awesome. Though alot of things need worked on for a sequel.

I was gonna actually private chat you and ask you about that game because I was seriously thinking about buying it the other day. I may just rent it from gamefly though, so I can have some more money in my pocket. =)

Guitar Hero 1 & 2. Anyone else?

[BugenhagenXIII]

Guitar Hero 2.

Quite frankly, I suck at it. I've almost got five stars on all songs on medium, but there are about four that are in my way (Of the top of my head: Madhouse, Hangar 18, Carry Me Home, and something else). I've only beaten one song on hard. I don't think I'll ever be able to overcome that stupid orange button.

I played Guitar Hero 2 before the first one and I couldn't even comprehend using the orange button the first time around. Then I borrowed the original game from a friend and started the game out on Hard. GH 1's Hard mode was pretty easy at first so I was able to get used to the orange button and I went back to GH 2 later and played well. I still go back and forth between both games every couple of days. In GH 1 Cowboys From Hell is the one song I can't get five stars on Medium and I can't get past it on Hard.

That song fucking haunts me.

[Applefiend]

Finished GTA3, hurrah. Chances of me winning the "Games you've finished in 2007" thread? 1000 to 1.

Got a ton of games arriving next week, looking for something short and cool to play until then. Think I'll spend the rest of the evening finding one. Sweeet.

I seem to be settled back into the usual pattern of dogging the Playstation 1, 2 or 3 24/7 and letting the other two gather dust. Playing a bit of Elite Beat Agents, have to do it alone as you have to concentrate and the wife keeps wanting to talk to me about inorganic rubbish collections by the council.

You know, I think if Elite Beat Agents had better music in it? I'd like it less...

[edit] Started Grandia III. Usually GameArts RPGs hack me off, but I like this one. They just need a few polygons in order to get their story across. For me at least.

Bit of a change in pace from GTA3 though. :) Don't imagine I'll be picking up hookers then backing the car over them to get my money back in this game. :)

[HPK]

I've been playing through Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. The game is pretty fun and more enjoyable than the X-Men Legends games. The game seems to give out Achievements like candy, though.

Freebird? Misirlou? Psychobilly Freakout?

I only play on expert now. Beat it and got the guitar. :speechles And I have 5 stars on Madhouse in expert. A good trick I hear a lot of people use to get used to the orange fret is to have your index finger on the red fret instead of green. It's easier to shift your index finger than your pinky. I just ended up practicing too much and can go either way, my hand is all over the guitar. :-D

HPK, I played MUA also lately. Who did you use? I had Human Torch, Iceman, Thor, and Doctor Strange. I still need to finish it again on Hard. I'm in Asgard.

Warcraft 3 :)

[the boney king of nowhere.]

woo! starting to back into my games a bit.

i'm near the end of silent hill on the psone (it's only taken me about 6 years to get started properly on this game, it has been sitting in a cupboard at home for fucking ages.) got started on final fantasy IV the other day, so far it's great.

and i've got FFXII when i'm home at some weekends. (i really should bring my ps2 to uni.)

and i have resumed playing half-life 2, after about a 3 month break. i have had this game since the day it came out. (i got bizarrely hyped up about it)
and i'm up to the bit where you first get a squad to look after.

[curryking1]

Warcraft 3 :)

Unnnnhhhh!!! :thumbl:

[Applefiend]

Grandia III. Read a review of this recently, it said...

Combat system too complicated for anyone who hasn't played a Grandia game before

You'll finish it in 20 hours.

Aren't reviewers full of ****?

Terrific combat system, you can pull of aerial moves, cancel opponents moves. The game is very linear and story driven but that's OK. Want to get rid of it before God of War 2 arrives but no chance of that, seems a 35 hour game.

Ton of games turning up next week, also having a huge ebay clearout.

[woundingchaney]

Actually bought quite a few games lately although not really playing any of them.

Been spending some time with Motor Storm and Untold Legends.

[Ivory_Soul]

I went and traded in Guitar Hero II, Rumble Roses XX, Rumble Roses, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2, and XIII for GOD OF WAR 22222222222222222222222!!!! Don't panic though! I'm going to be getting GH2 for 360 when it comes out! On day one to be exact. Anyways I'm also playing Call of Duty 2 for 360 and it's A LOT better of CoD3 for some reason. I'm also playing Call of Duty: Roads to Victory for PSP and it's really good! Not the best but it reminds me a lot of CoD for PC.

[HPK]

HPK, I played MUA also lately. Who did you use? I had Human Torch, Iceman, Thor, and Doctor Strange. I still need to finish it again on Hard. I'm in Asgard.

I beat the game on Normal with Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider. On Hard, I'm currently using Thor, Dr. Strange, Deadpool, and Moon Knight. I'm currently heading to the Valley of Spirits to take down Mandarin. I'm probably going to switch my team at some point, though. I'm trying to unlock all of the outfits. I figured I'd get all the characters leveled up so I can successfully get through the simulator discs.

However, much of my attention towards MUA has been given to Elder Scrolls IV. I played the third game back on the original Xbox and I hated it. Something about it didn't even seem right and I ended up only owning it for an hour or so. After playing Oblivion over the weekend, I was hooked. There are some flaws with it here and there, but the game is addicting.....almost too addicting. I feel this game is what Fable should've been.

[the poe collector]

I finished God of War 2 today and I'm probably going to start the game over and mess with everything I unlocked tomorrow.

I'm also playing Guitar Hero 2 on co-op with my brosef.

[Applefiend]

Bountiful goodness has arrived. It's christmas at my house, hip, hip,hurrah! 11 games arrived in a box. Dumped all my PAL games + PS2 on ebay and picked up some Greatest hits games, made a profit on the deal, whoohoo!

Including God of War 2. Might not play it right away though.

[masteratt]

I finished God of War 2 today...

What was the recorded play time?

Is GoW2 longer than GoW1 is basically what I want to know.

[Applefiend]

It's longer than one. Twice as long in fact.

[koten]

What was the recorded play time?

Is GoW2 longer than GoW1 is basically what I want to know.GoW took me about 6 hours, GoWII took me about 10.


Currently playing Gunstar Super Heroes. The game has a tendency to aggrivate me with insanly cheap bosses. It took me literally 20 tries to beat Green cause of all the damn forms he had, and now Black is a douchbag cause not only do you have to survive some kind of crazy board game to get to him, but you have to replay that everytime you lose.

[the poe collector]

What was the recorded play time?

Is GoW2 longer than GoW1 is basically what I want to know.

Yes, GoW 2 is longer than GoW 1.

There was a difference of around 6 hours between the two games for me.

[<3frosty]

I am currently playing/trying to beat:

1. Half-Life
2. Metroid Prime
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Guitar Hero 2 (damn u freebird! i just want to beat all the regular songs on hard, so thats holding me back from being done.)
5. Donkey Konga

[IEatFriedPikmin]

Still playing:

Gears of War(for some reasonk, no matter how frustrated i get, i keep playing multiplayer)
Crackdown(everyone says its easy.... i get freakin mobbed by gang members all the time and find it impossible.... i defeated los muertos or whatever)

[koten]

Yes, GoW 2 is longer than GoW 1.

There was a difference of around 6 hours between the two games for me.6 hours? It only took me 4 hours longer than last time. What were you doing for those extra 2 hours?

EDIT: Oh yeah, playing Metal Slug Advance

[curryking1]

Replaying that sex part? ;)

Alternating between FF VII, VIII, IX, XII and GT4 (even some X actually, I still have love for you Tidus). Y'all can't stop me! FF!! Unnnnhhhh!! Grrrrrrrr!!

[Gaul]

Just started playing RE4 from where I left off... Can't remember how far I'm in. Good game though

[HPK]

I'm kind of angry with my gamerscore on XBL. See, most games give out achievements in multiples of 5 (5, 10, 15, etc....). Well, I ended up buying Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 over the Arcade a while back, but it has some oddly numbered achievements. One is worth 8 points, another is worth 12, etc etc.
Well, I got tired of looking at my gamerscore being at 5171. The one at the end of that number is from UMK3, and I planned on fixing it. I jumped back into the game and holy shit, I remember why I stopped playing it. I've never been good at fighting games. But Motaro and Shoa Kahn made me want to kill someone. Why were they so difficult? Well, I managed to get my score to 5228. The 8 bothers me and I need to get the achievement for winning 10 Ranked matches in order to get the last digit at a zero. However, I get owned easily on this game. It's evil, I swear.

In short: I've played a little bit of UKM3 lately.

[dork]

that whole story seriously made me laugh. +rep

[the poe collector]

6 hours? It only took me 4 hours longer than last time. What were you doing for those extra 2 hours?

Your mom.

Also I kept obsessing over getting every single Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather but I still missed a few.

[Bsack]

@Applefiend I loved Grandia III and the battle system was the best I've ever played. I seriously do recommend that title to anybody that is remotely interested in RPG games.

@curryking1 I like your attitude, RPGs are the shit brotha. Keep it up and beat them. =) I have love for Tidus too!

I'm currently playing Gears of War, Lego Star Wars II, Tiger '07, and Vegas for my 360.

I just started a game of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on my PSP and I love it so far. We will see how much I love it after I've gone through it a bit.

On my Nintendo DS I'm still playing Final Fantasy III, but I let a friend of mine borrow my Nintendo DS to go back to Texas and he hasn't sent it back yet. =( I'm getting a little depressed.

[koten]

Your mom.

Also I kept obsessing over getting every single Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather but I still missed a few.I was short three of each by the time I finished the game (made Zeus a fucking bitch to beat)

I'm going to start Sigma Star Saga today (maybe). I've heard some bad things and I've heard some good things so I have no idea what to expect.

[HPK]

Played some TMNT 1989, UMK3, Oblivion, and Gears today. I wasn't expecting to play Gears, but I was called to it.

and yeah, I'm glad to see I got those UMK3 achievements worked out. Hurray for the gamerscore being a multiple of zero!

[FoeHammer]

Started Oblivion over, still tryin to beat guitar h 2 on expert, never finished God of War or Fable LC

[Applefiend]

Yeah, good Grandia III init.

Hopping between 5 different games

Def Jam Icon
It's kinda like one of those record company management games you play on mobile phones, only on a $600 games consoles, with slow motion fights and slightly awkward controls. But good fun, enjoying it.

Ratchet and Clank - Up your arsenal
On a R&C multiplayer server nobody can hear you scream...

God of War 1+2
Playing through both in sequence, fan bloody tastic.

Blown 5 dollars on GTA Vice City. Play that after.

And a bit of Tekken 5 DR, VF5 and Guilty Gear X2, although my wrist is almost ready to pop.

[BigfootGus]

oblivion downloads, lost planet

[the poe collector]

I was short three of each by the time I finished the game (made Zeus a fucking bitch to beat)

Actually I checked again and it says I collected all of them, I'm guessing the chests I missed had red orbs or Urns inside. Have you started playing Challenge of the Titans yet or watched the bonus disc?

[Garfunkel]

Call of duty 2

[koten]

Actually I checked again and it says I collected all of them, I'm guessing the chests I missed had red orbs or Urns inside. Have you started playing Challenge of the Titans yet or watched the bonus disc?I watched the whole bonus disk. It's interesting, but not essential in any way.

As for challenge of the Titans, I beat the first one and got Titan rank, but then got my ass kicked 10 times over on the second one...

[the poe collector]

I watched the whole bonus disk. It's interesting, but not essential in any way.

The second challenge is fucking harsh...I'm on the third one right now and trying to finish all of them before replaying the game.

Today I started playing on my Shadow of the Colossus file again and this time I WILL BEAT THIS GAME!

[Gaul]

I <3 SotC

Im finally done playing WoW. it was sucking up too much of my money so i had to ditch it. Im still playing Warcraft3:frozen throne but I've also started playing Rome: Total War.
And as always, I'm beasting it up on CoD2

As for consoles, I'm just trying to finally finish Resident Evil 4 and Burnout 3

[OG_Monkey]

GRAW 2
Rainbow Six Vegas
NFS Carbon

[Applefiend]

Discovered I have a device called a Wii that can be used to play things called games.

Downloaded Donkey Kong Country, going to try and finish it. Super Mario World and Castlevania IV too.

Also got Gunstar Heroes. Just how manic do you have to be to be able to play that? *gibber*

You get bored of the same old same old 3D games.

And picked up JetPac reloaded for XBLA.

Trying to finish Grandia III and Gow1.

[HPK]

Also got Gunstar Heroes. Just how manic do you have to be to be able to play that? *gibber*

Gunstar Heroes was the shit. I had a blast playing that game on the Genesis. Fun times to be had through emulation as well. Also, how is Jetpac, by the way?

Right now, most of my gaming time has been devoted to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I originally played it a year or so after it was released, but I never got that far. This time around, I'm pretty close to beating the game as Alucard. Soon enough, I'll beat the game as Richter.
I'll go into further details about my experiences once I beat it, but in the proper thread.

[Applefiend]

I think I may too old to play Gunstar Heroes, I feel like Rocky Balboa.

"You got calcium deposits on your fingers, arthritis, you can't play Gunstar Heroes"

*whine*

Want to play Castlevania IV through on Wii before I get to SOTN.

I like Jetpac Refueled(Not reloaded, thats a PS1 game. :) ), very much worth your 400 points, very addictive. First ten missions are a pushover but they let you skip levels so that's OK.

[speed stick]

I have been playing nothing for the past 2 months if you can find that believable. I am considering starting Oblivion up and downloading that new massive expansion add on this that just came out. Not sure if I will actually get around to it because I am in the process of trying to locate a place to live.

[the poe collector]

I'm almost done playing Shadow of the Colossus and after that I'm going to start God mode on GoW 2.

Today I've been messing around with the Arena of the Fates mode I unlocked after finishing the Challenge of the Titans.

[speed stick]

Alright, last night I purchased Shivering Isles for Oblivion because I needed some gaming to hold me over for a while. This insane snow storm also helped with that purchase.

Anyway, I am loving every bit of it so far, so much nicer without those damn oblivion gates around, it made it so much worse when I could't close them either because of that glitch.

[rpgamer_2k5]

Guilty Gear X on DC. :)

SMT: Digital Devil Saga - Great title.

Suikoden: I haven't be able to find time to complete this title.

Completed a number of titles including Zelda: TP on the GC, Okage, Wild Arms Alter Code F (should be called Wild Arms: Retarded Version) , Mega man Legends (that game never gets old), and a few others from Dec-January.

[the poe collector]

I finished Shadow of the Colossus a few days ago and I'm playing through God of War 2 on God mode.

[rpgamer_2k5]

I haven't even purchased SotC. I did see at a store but decided to purchase Mazes of Fate instead.

Next pay check, I'll definitely be picking up the title. Look great, imo. ^_^

[HolyPaladin]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (360)

[woundingchaney]

Just beat God of War 2 and played most of FF12 (couldnt get into the game storyline simply doesnt appeal to me).


Most likely going to continue playing MS, Gears, and DOA4. Gonna have to pick up stalker it looks like.

[curryking1]

You must pick up SOTC rpg! Make sure you don't miss it!!

Playing Subsistence right now.

[[[tavis]]]

currently: crackdown
last played: nba street

[Dhulfiqar]

Right now I'm having a blast with Command and Conquer 3.

The Scrin are a little too powerful, but overall it's the best Command and Conquer yet. And I've been playing since Tiberian Dawn.

[[Daniel Primed]]

I've been playing Resident Evil 3 for PC. Picked it up for $10.

Its pretty good actually, the terrible los res backgrounds are a bit off putting but its great fun.

Also been playing some Mario and Luigi for the DS, which is much harder than what I initially thought.

[TheGreenElf]

Playing through a couple right now...
Metroid Zero Mission (at the end, just got the zero suit...not as good as Fusion but still fun).
Kirby Canvas Curse (awesome game...only a couple levels into it).
God of War (can't find time to finish it)
Super Swing Golf (don't know why reviews were so poor)

also some random GC titles I've yet to finish.

[Shadow19]

playing:
WWE Day Of Reckoning
WWE Day Of Reckoning 2
Sega Mega Collection

[HPK]

I'm currently rocking out to Guitar Hero II on the 360.

[Fiend]

I'm currently rocking out to Guitar Hero II on the 360.

Same here!

[speed stick]

Fucking Shivering Isles. The quest "addiction" is fucking imposible. I just can't get through it or even close. Those ants things kick the shit out of me. Fucking level 38 and always repaired fully. So mad at the moment.

Ok....had to express my anger somewhere.

[dork]

i've been spending too much time with online gears of war matches so i'm back to playing crackdown. i love it. i love jumping and climbing buildings.

i've also been playing jetpac refuelled.

[Cofey]

Guitar Hero II for 360. I can't wait for rock band!

[Ivory_Soul]

Def Jam: Icon (360) Prince of Persia: Rival Swords (PSP), Mercury Meltdown (PSP).

[Fats]

Sky Odyssey for the PS2. I meant to pick this game up about... Ohhhh, Four years ago? Finally got around to it and bought it for about £2. :)

[PSXBatou]

I've beat most the PSP games, and the beatable DS games. I am working on 2 Wii titles, and all but Untold Legends and Sonic on the PS3 side.

[Media]

PS3/PSP and Wii/DS living in harmony. That's the way a gamer's life should be. :cloud9:

[TheGreenElf]

I've beat most the PSP games, and the beatable DS games. I am working on 2 Wii titles, and all but Untold Legends and Sonic on the PS3 side.
That's a nice shelf set-up. But what if you buy another game? Will it fit?

[PSXBatou]

That's a nice shelf set-up. But what if you buy another game? Will it fit?

Ill start stacking DS games on top of each other when i get Super Paper Mario this week, same with the PSP games once a game that catches my eye/wallet comes out on the PS3. I have a unused shelf, i may move portable games to there, we shall see. I'm a neat freak, I'll find some way to make it look aesthetically pleasing. :tada:

[sikkinixx]

hmm right now...

Zelda: TP --> Wii; around half done I think, recently got back into it after not playing since December!!!

TES:IV Ob. --> PS3; having trouble staying with it since I already had it for 360 a long long while ago.

Theme Park --> DS; great classic from the Genesis days relived!

Burnout Revenge --> 360; I just keep playing the demo over and over :D too cheap to buy the actual game. But other than this, my 360 is getting mighty dusty.

Chrono Trigger --> Mac; got the emulator version (and I own the SNES cart so I dunno if that makes it legal or not ??) which rocks when sitting through international politics at school.



Meh, I always have lots of games on the go. I can't seem to finish any of them anymore :( too much reading about Byzantine history to catch up on for fall semester.....
