Just bought SPM and I got DQ IX a month ago. Dear god, I should have gotten them sooner.
Also, quick question about grotto bosses: If anyone has gotten greygnarl, how long did it take you to get him, and what was the level of the grotto?

You need to rebirth a couple times and then you'll almost always get him upon clearly mid-level grottos.Originally Posted by Piggy 2.0

Explanation of how grottos work. The last one is greygnarl.
After waiting for over 4 months, i finally got a copy of Monster Hunter Tri and it's even better that i was thinking. I'm only at the end of 2 stars missions, trying to figure out how to capture a monster but it's already too awesome...
Thanks Sarah, I found the bastard. Already grinding on Psaro.
Also, soon as I find a copy of either one, I'm going to start playing either persona 4 or SMT: Nocturne.
Haha, wow. I'm playing Nocturne again right now.
Also been playing Dissidia a lot recently. Need to get DKCR but... conflicted because of GS3 and Epic Mickey
DKCR is awesome, Sarah. Just got it today and I'm really enjoying it. GET ITTTTtttttttttttttttttt.
Is it actually worth the $50 though? Previous DKC installments were ~6 hours on a first playthrough and I can't justify that in my mind, especially around Christmas.
Eh, not sure on that one. It seems a lot harder than the original though. I'll let you know how the length is, in a while.
Finally got my own copy of Star Ocean 4 on PS3. Been playing this beast into the GROUND. Working on battle trophies for everyone and getting everyone to max level before I go kick Gabriel's ass. Metal scumbags, pineapple YEAH.
Ys: The Oath in Felghana
This game is atrociously difficult.
Cladun: This is an RPG!
God, such a time waster.
Got Starcraft II as a present :)
Playing it now, and having a ton of fun!
I've been having the same predicament. Although in my case it's a combination of that and feeling that I have to also have the virtual console versions of DKC 2 & 3 before I buy the new DKC. I agree in that it is hard to justify $50 on a single game these days since with half of my $60 steam budget, I was able to get 10 fairly good games. I did wind up getting GS3 though, and I've been surprised with an extra $60 cash, so now I can resume my debate on it. (Apparently depression makes you buy things, feel guilty, and buy things for others to justify your extravagant purchases that you SHOULDN'T afford.) Kind of have an odd opinion of the debate between DKC and Micky. I've read the reviews and both in length and quality, DKC is supposed to be better, but one complaint of Micky actually piked my interest more. They said it was akin to all the old 3D platforming titles from the N64 age. Apparently too slow of a pace for people these days with fetch quests and item collection. However, there is a negative that you'd (Sarah) definitely see. It is IMPOSSIBLE to collect everything in a single play-through due to choices you make and there is NO BACKTRACKING. Personally, I may just wait for them to dip down to the $30-$35 range before buying either of them.
Now then, on topic:
About done with Zelda: Spirit Tracks, but the last dungeon is taking too long for me to complete in one setting and is not really set up to save much of the progression. Haven't started my PS2 in about a month, so no progress has been made on that backlog. Same can be more or less said for my Wii. Now that the ring event is over, I'm back to waiting for log-off prizes for maple and that's just about it. TF2 has mostly been idling lately.
However, with my recent purchases and acquisitions, I intend to get to theses among some old ones:
Borderlands: Secret Armory expansion.
Suikoden II
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Professor Layton: Unwound Future
Spore
Overlord stuff
Entirety of Sam & Max
and maybe Recettear since I got that with a combo during black Friday and people seem to say positive things about it.
I could go on, but my intention is to get to all of my games (not that I ever do).
Well, since writing that I actually went out and bought DKCR and I can certainly say it's worth something. How much depends on how OCD you are about completion. The main game takes about 15 hours to play through I would say. It's moderately difficult, extremely gorgeous and quite fun. If you're going for all the puzzle pieces and KONG letters you can tack on another 5 - 8 hours easily. Then there's mirror mode which is going through every level mirrored, with one health and no Diddy. Quite challenging, very frustrating at times, but kind of fun. Would've been nice to get some extra things added with it, though. And finally, there is the god forsaken time trials. You can easily drop 30 hours if you intend to get gold on every single one. They are SO HARD. But getting a gold is very, very rewarding (like... to oneself. The game doesn't give you any reward)
So it's about 60 hours but only if you go through everything. I feel like I made the right decision in buying it, but you might not.
As for Epic Mickey... wait for it to drop in price or find it used. I've heard nothing good about it at all.
Also finish Suikoden II ffs.
Super Street Fighter IV, thanks to my girlfriend! : D
I got Dragon Quest IX in the mail yesterday, so I'm playing that now.
Well, the past few days I've been playing the old school classic: Secret of Mana. Love it.
But, my predicament comes with what to play next...I can't decide if I should get back into Kingdom Hearts again. I just found my old PS2 (I haven't known where it's been for years), but I'm not wanting to take it up to college with me when I move next week. Taking the PS2 with me would be too much stuff to look after (I'm bringing my Xbox 360 and Wii), especially if I'm just taking it to replay one game. Well, two if you count the second game.
The other problem I run into is: I'd be 1) Forced to play CoM again (I hate hate hated the playstyle of CoM, but I really can't remember what happened in it). 2) I'd be forced to go out and buy a PSP to play BBS...Which I really don't have the money for right now...haha.
I been concurrently playing Pokemon Platinum, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman. I hope I finish one of them someday.
Age of Empires Online Beta Test.
SSF2THDR, trying to main Fei Long over Sim.
