Waiting on Christmas so I can waste my life on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Been playing God Eater Burst and FFIV Complete like a machine (up until today). God Eater was a helluva lot more fun and less convoluted than I expected!
Probably going to give Monster Hunter a try soon.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, how I despise and love everything about thee (Except you, Khezu. You can go pineapple yourself.).
Playing Borderlands now as my friend bought it for me during the Steam sale.
yes ben will get around to hl2 stupid bandwidth caps at home
Just picked up rayman origins, and probably going to order a DS game soon. Maybe TWEWY or 358/2 days.
Stuff I've been working on in recent months:
Dark Souls
-in NG++++
-100%, Platinum trophy
-probably play through the fifth cycle in the future
Demon's Souls
-in NG++
-like 96% or so
-working on getting Pure Bladestone, Moonlightstone, Darkmoonstone
-kinda on hold because STUPID STONES
Skyward Sword
-barely started first playthrough
-gonna get serious this weekend probably
-not that excited, hate the Wii, hate the controls, feels like a chore to play so far compared to the fun I've been having lately
-only got a Wii because a friend of the family got us one...figured I had no excuse not to play it now
-who knows, I do love LoZ
I've been thinking about playing through REmake again too, after I feel content with these games. I've been wanting to work on finishing up the Platinum trophy on a few other games (like Alice), but I just never have the time anymore.
My friend recommended I get Sequence during the Steam holiday sale and I did. I JUST finished getting 100% on the game tonight / this morning. The secret ending totally leaves the game open to a sequel, so here's hoping it continues on.
Now to figure out what other Steam game to play...
I haven't managed to find the time to sit down with Skyward Sword long enough since break, but I've been hooked on Elite Beat Agents since I got it on New Year's Eve as a belated Christmas gift. All I have to say is- wow, how the hell did I miss this game for so many years? EBA may be a game that came before the hype around plastic instrument music games, but it's fun and has a lot of personality. It's still got a small playlist consisting of all covers, but I still have a lot of fun going through the game and challenging myself until I finally unlock the hardest difficulty and finally beat it- skipped over the easiest and went straight to Cruisin', beat "Jumping Jack Flash" and now a couple songs into the next difficulty.
I'm also going to start up Devil Survivor Overclocked without any prior experience playing the original Devil Survivor, so that'll be something worth looking forward to.
An MMO called Wakfu just went into open beta today, and since I love the cartoon, I'm checking it out. Been fun so far, but no idea what element to roll on my main.
If you like it and pick it up, yous gonna have to find some folks to play with, I heard the soloing gets annoying. I JUST figured out what to roll on my Sac (Fire+Earth = Delicious damage dealing tankan) so now I have to figure out where I can find a monster that drops a fire buffing set. They hand you NOTHING at the beginning.
Playing Mass Effect 2, Tactics Ogre and Demon's Souls right now. Really enjoying all three.
Demon's Souls especially. I thought it would be a huge turn off but every success feels like a REAL success. I'm stuck at Old King Allant though because he's fast as pomegranate and if I wear light armor I die quickly and if I wear heavy armor I can't dodge him. And soulsucking is pretty much the worst pineappleing pomegranate in the world. Old Monk was also HORRIBLE because some cocksucker with retardedly high levels kept setting themselves up to be summoned and broke all of my equipment in a single hit.
Definitely going to get Mass Effect 3 in March. Not sure if I'll get Dark Souls though because I don't like some of the changes I've read that they made. No Nexus? Can't repair equipment? There were more but it just sounds... not for me.
Demon's Souls is easier than Dark Souls, though. DeS is awesome and has lots of great things, but DaS is just so much better overall. It would be silly to not play it if you enjoyed DeS. Yeah, there is no Nexus but that's because Dark Souls is much larger and open world. I love the Nexus don't get me wrong but it doesn't make the game in any way. DeS feels really short after DaS. I have no idea where you heard you can't repair equipment, but you can. At any Bonfire (think Archstones, but with many functions you'd normally find in the Nexus). Just have to buy the repair box, which can be done before you ever need to repair anything.
False Allant punishes aggression. Just don't be aggressive and you'll realize he's a pushover. All of his attacks are easily dodged if you keep a safe distance and keep moving. He brings himself right to you constantly. Wait to attack after he does so. There's a safe period to attack after nearly all of those situations. Attack once and back off. Repeat. Don't try destroying him or you will be destroyed. Or you could just be cheap with magic.
Felix pretty much said everything I was going to. Overall, I prefer Dark Souls over Demon's Souls. It is just so much better in pretty much every way... except for the whole online thing. If one of the reasons you enjoy Demon's Souls is due to co-oping with friends, you will be pretty disappointed in Dark Souls. Apparently the multiplayer aspect in Demon's Souls was actually not intended, so they changed it in Dark Souls. It's still possible to do it, but not without serious determination. Last time I did co-op with one of my friends on Dark Souls, it took almost an hour and a half of constantly recasting the soapstone sign until he finally saw it on his screen and was able to summon me. Was terrible. But aside from that, Dark Souls is an amazing game. Great open world, very fun boss battles, great armor and weapon designs, and honestly it just feels like it has the better overall story, too.
Can you teleport from the campfires? If there's not an easy way to get around the world then I don't care. I love exploration but I hate backtracking so pineappleing much. I've read that if you get a status ailment you literally have to backtrack to one exact point in the game to get some guy to heal it. That is retarded.
Also, how does it handle tendency?
