What are you playing?

I figured Christmas is coming up and everyone will have all sorts of new games, some which won't warrant topics, so we can talk about our current playings and give little reviews and such in this topic.



Today I was out picking up some stuff and happened to be browsing the PS3 section of a pawn shop and found Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon for $19.00. I hadn't heard anything about this; but I really stopped paying attention to Spyro when I was like 11 and insomniac gave it up.

Spyro rage, hidden so people don't focus too much on it rather than the topic at hand

So I put it in and got ready for some fire-breathing, gnorc-bashing action and... w.. what? WHAT? Has anyone else played Spyro in the last decade that can explain to me what has transpired? Last I remember Sparx couldn't speak english and Hunter was pretty darn useless. Also everything was very colourful and Spyro wasn't FIST FIGHTING.

Old Hunter:

N...new Hunter?:

Who is this second Dragon? What is an Ignitus? What have they done to Spyro!?! It's so dark! It's so... real...

Honestly, I'm only 10 minutes in and I'm already afraid to keep playing. Sparx has pineappleING ABS. ABS. A SIX PACK.

So... tell us what you're playing so I can get my mind off of this atrocity.

I'm currently playing:

PSP:

- FFVII (again)
- Assassin's Creeed: Bloodlines (just finished it last night)
- Monster Hunter 2ndG (a.k.a. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite in the americas)
- Half-Minute Hero (trying to accomplish 100% in items and titles)
- DJ Max Portable Black Square.

PC:

- MapleStory (lol not obvious since I've just returned after 1 year hiatus)
- Touhou (I do a playthrough sometimes)

PS2 (lolreplays):

- Okami
- FF XII
- FF X-2.

That's about it currently I guess.

Well, I've recently tried playing Rock Band at a friends house and I was quite surprised to find out that I kinda like it.
Also having a jolly good time with Sports Resort.

Regarding your Spyro game

I remember reading it was part of a trilogy where they've all grown. Maybe the story will make more sense if you get the other 2 games.

Rock band 2, and w/e gba or ds game i can find lying around the house. Mostly pokemon and medabots

Wii: Whatever I feel like playing on Homebrew.
DS: Advance Wars: Dual Strike
PC: DFO

PC: Left4Dead2 and Cod 6. A little bit of Maplestory.

w3, DotA and chess.

PSP:
-Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
-Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days (current DLCs = makes me want to play again)
-DJ Max Portable Black Square
-Tales of Eternia

GameCube:
-Super Smash Brothers Melee (the only game that I play more than any of my other games, yes, that includes my PSP games)

PS1 on Computer:
-Legend of Dragoon (I'll be playing this again, but on the computer via emulator)

Blazblue. Picked it up over Thanksgiving break when I went home. Other than that, I grabbed a few of my old GBA games, so I've been trying a 1% run on Metroid Fusion.

Wii: New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
360: Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, Forza 3, Assassin's Creed 2.
PC: Mushroom House Elf available until 12/13/2009 at 11:00.

I had some leftover NX saved to spend on the last weekend's Black Friday sale, and ended up getting the Mushroom House. I assumed it was going to last 90 days like it said so in the data, but... :<

But yeah, all I really do on Maple is vend this pair of earrings that I've been trying to sell for months now. I used to be into DFO, but it wasn't long until I got bored of it. I might get back into it eventually.

I am dead serious. Growing up I didn't own very many N64 games. I just bought it at Disc Replay like a month ago or so, I also managed to buy Banjo-Tooie there as well. So there's that to look forward to after I play Banjo-Kazooie.

DS: The World Ends with You, MAYBE Phoenix Wright games (last Christmas, my parents could not find it anywhere for some reason; and Amazon sells it for outlandishly high prices. $80+ for a DS game? Seriously now, Amazon?)

Apparently the Phoenix Wright games are going to be released on Wiiware for like 12$ each. If you don't mind them being on a console rather than a handheld, you might want to wait for those and check them out.

If I had a penis it would be so hard for you right now.

The clive side-quest is awesome. The showdown with Eliza... learning about the Howling Voice Guild, /* Moon & Star, and Clive's brother */

Suikoden 2 is the greatest gaming experience of all time <333

I expect the next Suikoden (not spin-off, though I do expect they will be expanding on the universe of Tierkreis in the future) will take place in Harmonia and we'll be seeing more of the Howling Voice Guild. Have you played Tierkreis or any of the others?

I regret not taking advantage of this. A friend of mine was not allowed to buy things online, so I bought it for him on ebay with a 15% processing fee. I really should have played it a little before handing it over.

As far as my games go, I could list about 40 games that I just jumped ship midway through but intend to go back on, but that wouldn't be "what I was playing".

Right now, it is more or less just these if I find the time;

Mario & Luigi: Inside Bowser Story (DS)
Professor Layton & the Diabolical Box (DS)
Steambot Chronicles (PS2)
Disgaea 2 (PS2) [Found my way into the dark worlds way too early and was overwhelmed so I put it off. Did it by poison, bait & run by a thief.]
Illusion of Gaia (SNES ROM) [Loved Terranigma, so I finally got around to backtracking on their producer's work, would buy if Virtual Console had it]
Maplestory (PC) [Very little play here now and days, but it still sucks my time from me]


Like I said before, beyond that, I probably have over 60 games left to finish in my library simply because my collective nature is greater that my time or gamer's spirit and many times it annoys me (has yet to finish FF6). But I also think that games are supposed to be enjoyed for the journey and because of that, I just dislike endings in general. Especially with games that were incredibly enjoyable, but have a terrible ending (I'm looking at you Radiata Stories).

??? you thought Radiata Stories was enjoyable? It's like Suikoden but infinitely more tedious. 80% of the games playtime is just recruiting characters that you can miss each day if you're not where you're supposed to be during the split second that they are.

I played through the human story and got every human character, then tried to go through again but the idea of recruiting the other 80 or so non-hume characters actually made me a little sick. Maybe if I wasn't such a perfectionist then I would've enjoyed it more but sadly playing without getting everything is not something I can do.

also RADIATA STORIES: FEATURING A KICK EVERYTHING SYSTEM was pretty much the dumbest gimmick ever. I dunno if they made a sequel that didn't have night and day, or if it had night and day but not a minute-by-minute clock, I would probably buy it.

PC: MapleStory.
DS: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days, Disgaea DS, Mario Kart DS, FFCC Ring of Fates.
Wii: SSB Brawl, Tales of Symphonia "2" (I won't have ToS2 until Saturday though).

I: Beat it many times.

V: Played for maybe an hour or so.
Tierkreis: Played through most of it and then I ragequit when I /* found out I couldn't recruit Wustum, Nomno, Hafin, and Nakil because I was too far in the game. F'uck that desert. */

That's awesome but Suikoden 3 is great and you should REALLY finish it. Tactics is terrible but I bore it just because of what it is. /* THE GOAT IS KYRIL'S MOM AHAHAHAHAHHA */ and what the pineapple, how could you play almost ALL of 4 and only an hour of 5? Five is an amazing game, probably equivalent to Suikoden 2 as far as amazingness goes. Unfortunately the first few hours are a little slow, but after it picks up it REALLY picks up and stays that way for the rest of the game.

I hate hate hate hate HATE! the new Spyro games, same for Crash Bandicoot, I constantly play my old PS1 versions because they were actually enjoyable and not like FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT KILL KILL KILLL.

Hmm I'm not playing much at the moment, just finished KH 358/2 about 2 weeks ago. I recently bought Okami on the Wii and its awesome fun, but its hell trying to find time to play it.

I really wanna get Mario Kart on Wii, but it seems its 100 bucks everywhere I look. D:

Dude, I finally coughed up money for xbox live the other day and decided to go play some MvC2 online. It was about the worst case of me getting my ass handed to me online that I've ever experienced. The game's fun offline and with friends though =P (then again, I only played one match. My experience of getting raped might not be a normal thing).

Sarah, if you were near I would so make love to you. That's one of the best RPGs in the history of humanity. Seraphic Gate was the first time I really felt a game raped me over and over again countless times.

Just started Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box yesterday. I never played the first one, but I'm loving this so far! Layton is one smug motherfucker. A self-proclaimed gentleman.

PS3: Nothing
PS2: Nothing
DS: Pokemon Heart Gold
PC: Maple, DFO, Wonderking Online

PC: S4 League (EU, KR)
360: Borderlands (Occasionally, have to renew my XBL this Christmas)

NDS: Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks (R4...eventually. God I have nothing nowadays.)
iPod: Jet Car Stunts (seriously, best fucking iPod Touch game ever invented, ever; pretty much the only game I play on a daily basis)

I would be playing Monster Hunter Freedom and Flysis, but I've largely grown out of being obsessed games and just play when I can/want to...and the times when I can are very few. MW2 and ACII would be on that list, but bleh; sticking to the things that I know I'll enjoy even for just a short period of time. I'm a casual, sue me.

PC: Maplestory
DS: Pokemon Pearl (Damn Battle Tower)
GBA: FFV
PSP: Dissidia, Power Stone Collection
Wii: I might try ToS2, but I can't bear to hear Lloyd's horrid voice again. Worst sequel ever.

Waiting for FFXIII. Comes out just before spring break so I get to be a shut in for a whole week :cool: HG and SS come out a few days later, but I won't be picking those up till after playing FFXIII till the disc breaks.

Ps2: Re-playing Kingdom hearts II on proud mode. Xaldin is a b'itch.

PSP: Prinny: Can I really be the hero?

Ps3: Currently sitting under the tree mocking me.

Wii: Super mario bros. 3

PC: Maplestory

Went and bought Zelda: Spirit Tracks today because I have nothing else to play and have been so bored between bouts on my Aran.

Just made it to the Spirit Tower and Zelda had her... break down? I mean after she finds out what Cole intends to do with her body. Kind of weird. Feels like it's appealing to a much younger audience.

Xbox: Blazblue (Got an arcade stick finally, and I'm having to relearn how to play), MvC2 (I now find it easier to play with the stick and all).
PS3: FF6 and FF8. Uncharted 2.

@ college:
GC: Smash Brothers and Soul Caliber 3 o_o

Xbox 360
Fallout 3
Assassin's Creed II
Ghostbusters the Vidya Gaem
The Beatles: Rock Band
Mass Effect

I've also got a copy of Oblivion, but because of school this week, I didn't get a chance to enjoy this unlike the games I got over break. I can't thank Greg enough for his recommendations in my prior thread about RPGs to recommend from what I've done in Fallout 3 and Mass Effect so far.

PS3
Killzone 2

Just got this PS3 today. My brother and I were at a general disagreement over what to get, he wasn't exactly buying into the idea of Demon Souls because it seemed like assrape due to how much he'd probably die and as for Uncharted 2, he's not exactly a big third person shooter fan. It's a real shame too, they're some of the finest games on the console. He kept going crazy over Darksiders, but I wasn't too sure because of the reviews. In the end, we just ended up going with an FPS as something basic to start out with.

Nintendo DS
Pokemon Platinum

Nintendo Wii
The New Super Mario Bros

Games I'm still trying to get
Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360)
Uncharted 2 (PS3)
Demon Souls (PS3)
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS)
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (WiiWare)

PS3
BAYONETTA!!!
Borderlands
Rachet & Clank ToD
God of War Collection
GTAIV

Uhhh. There's one or two more but their names are escaping me.

Currently, the only game I'm playing is Rock Band 2. Trying to be able to pass songs like Chop Suey, Master Explorer, Visions, Panic Attack, and Painkiller :\

Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (no joke, crazy about that game).
Darksiders.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky.
Meteos.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time.
Heroes of Newerth.

That's about it. Finished all games besides for Darksiders (almost there!) and Monster Hunter. Heroes of Newerth can't really be 'completed' since it's a player VS player online game.

Not far. Hunter rank 5 in Monster Hunter Freedom 2, and I sort of burned out the moment I got Unite. I pick it up every now and then but I never really got into it.
Rank 2 still.

I'll continue it someday, but right now I just randomly pick it up and bash in Khezu's ugly face before putting it away again.

PC: MS and D2... I want D3 x(

SNES: Lufia II, classic and awesome game.

Pc: Cave Story.

This game is AMAZING. It's been out for 6 :pineapple:ing years and I've only heard of it NOW!? I'm more of a recluse than I thought ._."

You too? Toward the end of December I had this huge craving to play Wind Waker again, but I made the big mistake of selling my Gamecube and all of its games back when I was 10 or 11. I Ebay'd a GC controller and Wind Waker and just got the Master Sword last night. Feels good, man.

Well my gamecube growing up was actually my dad's and because he plays video games too, he kept it when I moved out. So I haven't had one for a couple of years but I had the games. But yeah, I usually replay series games after/before playing a new one. Every time a new suikoden game is released I will spend a month playing the old ones in order (by number, not date. So I don't go 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, haha)

Wii: New Super mario bros, Red Steel,Muramasa, Zelda Twilight princess,
Pc: Latale, Maplestory, Tales of graces, Crisis, Fatal Frame, Xenosaga all of them, Dot hack series All of them, King of Fighters 2001/2002, God of War both of them
360:Bayonetta, Devil May Cry 4, GTA4, Mass Effect, Call Of Duty Mw 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Ninja Blade, Dead or alive 4, Tekken 6, All Halos games, Assassins creed 2, BioShock
Ps3: Uncharted both of them and God of war 3 demo.

I pretty much play these every week. Bayonetta has the most time though since I'm trying to get all platinum awards on every stage.

Dfo =)

PS3: Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction

DS: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Lost Magic (weird game that I don't quite get) and Point Blank

Wii: Okami

Unfortunately the PS3 and Wii are on the TV everyone uses so I never get to play them that often </3

What the f'uck? I just beat wind waker like 4 days ago and TP ~3 weeks before that. Zelda cravings all around. *-*

I picked up FF3 for DS.

Playin' that now.

EDIT: papaya double post.

Rappelz Epic VII orgy!

Currently playing SMT: Devil Survivor on DS. Playing through BlazBlue on PS3 but only occasionally; it's on our widescreen and I don't get to use it often.

Having major TP cravings as well... I never finished Wind Waker, and never finished replaying it either, so...

Anyway, just finished 385/2 Days, so I might replay KH and KH2, and finally finish RE:CoM... I'm really starting to wish that the Final Mixes came out here. :f3:

I swear I'm not an Asian wannabe or anything, but on top of the usual Zelda cravings (Majora's Mask and Link's Awakening per my preference), I often get cravings to go back and play Okami and Mystical Ninja: Staring Goemon (N64). I guess they just held a place with me along my gaming history.

So I don't go 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, haha)

Stop making me regret handing over that copy of Suikoden 2 I bought for a friend and overall crave the series :f4:. The only thing from the series I managed to play was some untranslated pirated disk for the PC that same friend gave me years ago that was some sort of 2D platformer mini-game that was very comparable to MS. Curse you rare and expensive low production gems :hothead:.

I swear they had announced a Wii version for Q4 '09, and I had been waiting for that in order to play the game. Cancelled?



As for what I'm playing now;
PC: MS (Rarely), Universe at War (Bought it on sale... but god is it buggy... I just want to finish Campaign and delete)
Wii: Shining Force I & II, Dokapon Kingdom (Just want to finish one game of it prior to having friends over... but I'm about 3/4ths of the way into one... after 56 hours :f7:)

As for my PS2, I just wrapped up Dark Cloud 2's bonus dungeon and finished Disgaea 2's main story, so I'm looking into my collection for where to go next. I was thinking of going back to Valkyrie Profile and finishing a normal ending run since I screwed up apparently for the best ending already, but that fact is holding me back a little. There was that, or Okage, or Shining Tears, or Metal Saga just to pick out something new from my collection. Not sure. Granted I still need to finish the Xenosaga series... and FF 1-8... and... :f1:

Sometimes being a collector over a gamer has it's issues.

DS: Spirit Tracks. Also preparing to dig out Apollo Justice because I hear the next installment is going to come out in America soon, and I feel that I should at least try to keep up, damnit.

PSP: Persona 1 - I picked this up at Singapore's airport on a whim. I was expecting some old school jrpg, so it was a bit weird to find myself dungeon crawling around schools and hospitals. Also reminds me of Wolfenstein 3D, which is worrying because I can get motion sickness even from that sort of primitive 1st person perspective.

PC: Curse of Monkey Island - loving it so far, even though I suck at pure adventure games.
...and there's always Maplestory, I guess.

Right in the middle of Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Super Mario Galaxy seems to be taking more of my time though, seeing as it's quite possibly the longest of the three.

DS: Spirit Tracks. Does anyone know you can rent DS games from blockbuster now? This blew my mind.

Ps3: Disgaea 3

PC: Cave Story, Maple.

Wii: Super mario bros Wii, Twilight princess.

PSP: Picked up dissidia again in attemt to beat IC.

Oooh, how's Persona? I got it for Christmas but I haven't played yet, since I wanted to beat Devil Survivor first.

And yeah, AA Investigations comes out in February.

Also, @John - Cave Story's just been delayed for like, forever.

Eh, I haven't played any of the Persona games before, so I don't really know how it compares to the others. It's kinda nice...though I don't really care for the new cutscenes, and the random encounter rate is high enough to be annoying at times.

Im currently playing Sands of destruction and big bang mini, both on the DS

Pretty much everything on my first list is still true now, except for the part about MapleStory. I tried the Pyramid cleanup thing on my Aran, that's about all I did on MapleStory recently. Been trying to focus more on all my other games. I really should work on finishing games that I start and playing some of my games that I still have yet to play.


First-time play-through:
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (Wii)
SPRay (Wii)
Radiata Stories (PS2)
The Munchables (Wii) [Note: /* Started it and beat it. Played some of the Time Attack mode too. */ ]
SaGa Frontier (PS1)
Paper Mario (N64)
Psychonauts (PS2)
Wild 9 (PS1)
Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)



Paper Mario, well, I've been wanting to play this for years now and I just recently bought it. I actually own the Gamecube sequel and the Paper Mario Wii game too, but I haven't played either of them because I wanted to play Paper Mario first.

Yeah, I'm weird like that sometimes.

Radiata Stories huh? Man, that's a name I haven't seen in ages. Saw a friend playing it at his house one day; thought it looked pretty decent, but since I don't own a PS2 or something that can play PS2 games, it pretty much slipped through my memory until a few weeks ago. How is it, man?

And also: you're not alone. As a kid, I got a copy of Wind Waker and the Legend of Zelda Collector's disc, and thought that I had to play through every Zelda in order from the beginning because I had thought there was one big plotline between the games that needed me to play through them in order. I tried the first one and was absolutely baffled for where to go on the Overworld, and never touched it since. Although I did play Twilight Princess later on in my life, I have yet to play through the originals, the excellent two ones for the N64, and Wind Waker. I'm even weirder considering that all of the five aforementioned games (the four on the Collector's disc and Wind Waker) are all quality games; and yet I've never bothered to touch them. I keep promising myself to try to play them someday.

Meanwhile...

Currently finishing up Mass Effect, and about to get to playing Mass Effect 2. I'm also working on Tales of Vesperia. I've pretty much taken a hiatus from almost all of my other games just for these three aforementioned games. I wanna stick to a few video games without getting into others for now; it just feels weird spreading it all out.

Playing through the Resident Evil games again. It's been a good 10 or so years since I last played them (1-3 that is) so it's like playing them for the first time again.

Also, some of the parts still shock me a little even in my old age. lol

I've only played a little bit of it so far. From the little that I have played, I thought it was ok. Been spending most of my time playing Paper Mario and I'm probably close to finishing it pretty soon. What I've been trying to do is alternate between playing some RPGs and playing some platformers. After I finish Paper Mario I probably won't be playing more of Radiata Stories until I get one of the platformers completed. I'll probably work more on Psychonauts next.




Overall, I'm pretty bad at completing games. It's not because I don't like them or anything, it's just that I have so many games and I tend to set one down and forget about it for a while and then it's hard to get back into it later on. I've been trying to stay focused on a smaller amount of games, hopefully I'll be able to break my habit and complete more of my games.

Radiata Stories is boring as hell you're going to enjoy smashing your face off the wall once you get into the serious recruiting stages. I don't know whether or not you're down with using FAQS but please, do us both a favour and use one. You'll never hate yourself more if you don't, trust me.

Also you have really good taste in games I think. Paper Mario and Suikoden make you a real man.

How are you liking Muramasa, Herbert? Mark showed it to me a couple of months ago, and it seems like one of the few promising games that the Wii's got. I'll probably pick it up once it drops down to $20.

I played Modern Warfare 2 for the first time in about a month and a half, and it felt alright I guess. I was able to speak with a good friend of mine over Xbox Live, which was great since I haven't been able to speak with him for a while now. I've been playing Forza 3 a ton lately, too. It's starting to get HAAARDCORE.

Bioshock 2 in four days. :3

^ Hardly, muramasa isn't that great a game, it looks very nice, but outside of boss battles, there isn't much to it, the normal fights, theres like...15 maybe 20 different enemies tops to fight that I can remeber, and some of them were recolours...and all required the exact same strategy (that being get close and beat the pomegranate out of them while they fail to do any damage to you at all...) The game isn't exactly bad but I won't be likely to play it much again, and its all far too similar.


Working through a stack of games I got at christmas and from the steam sale, lol, partway through most of them, finished off most of what I enjoyed from the steam sale, and admittedly left quite a few of them because I didn't enjoy them. Definatly going to be more picky with games i buy next time steam has a big sale though...

DS: chrono trigger

PC: bioshock (Reminding me why I stoppped playing fps games, its a good game, however, I just hate using a mouse and keyboard setup for games, and 360 controller seems so sluggish and just plain bad compared to wiimote aiming... yeah I went there)

wii: tatsunoko vs capcom (prefer this a lot over streetfighter 4)
tales of symphonia 2
wario land the shake dimension.

Hey all, pro question here.

I want to replay Chrono Cross, but I found out recently (lol) that there is a sequel to Chrono Trigger. Radical Dreamers for the SNES Satellaview. Surprisingly, this game plays a lot like a visual novel more than an RPG. Have any of you played it? Is it worth my time?

Actually, I was thinking about not using a FAQ at all. I want to treat it like the old days. Back when I played through Suikoden 1 & 2 I didn't use a FAQ and I don't think I'll even worry too much about recruiting the first time through anyway. Using FAQs like I did with the later Suikoden games seemed to ruin some of the experience for me.

It's button mashan and I think it's fun so far. When I first started I thought the story was confusing (I started out with Momohime first).

Do you even see Muramasa in stores that often anymore? I looked around like a week ago and only saw it at two places and one of them had it for $50. Although to be fair, I haven't checked at GameStop. I haven't stepped in there since Disc Replay opened up. :3

Most of the plot of Radical Dreamers is re-imagined and put into Chrono Cross. If you really want to play it, then try it out. You could always read a story summary of it if you don't want to play through it all.

It's nothing like Suikoden, trust me. You won't ruin anything by using a recruiting guide. I wouldn't ever recommend using a guide to recruit in Suikoden because it's actually fun to hunt for the stars, but Radiata Stories is just frustrating as pomegranate. It's got a stupid clock system where you have to catch people at [x] time of day in [y] place or else you have to wait until the next day and there's no way to speed up time. Trying to figure out who is where and when isn't worth the 600+ hours you'll end up putting into it if you don't use a guide. Not to mention that you can't get everyone in a single play through, and you're not going to want to play it more than twice (especially if you don't use a guide the first time.) There are two endings but seriously, the recruiting stages are a massive progress deterrent and just something no one should ever have to deal with.

PC:
-MapleStory Europe
-Combat Arms Europe
-Prototype
-Crysis

DS:
-Pokémon Platinum
-Mario Kart DS

Wii:
-Pokémon Battle Revolution

Thinking of getting Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Dante's Inferno now, anyone here played these?
