Re: What Game(s) Are you Playing?

A rather appalling and not so welcomed news...

Skyrim DLC might be delayed even further for PS3 and PC users (I don't really care about freaking PC). Well, looks like I'll have to attempt to finish Agarest War 2 before then. But knowing this game and its longevity is far from my grasp... so to speak. lol

Nothing but Castlevania HD. Took a break to watch FMA: Brotherhood for the first time, and holy shit..

Anyway, trying to get the Alucard sword (+1), and building up my Charlotte.

^Random question. In Symphony, did the Alucart stuff do anything in particularly special that I just didn't figure out how to activate? I know it's a mere parody of Alucard's default equipment... but it made me wonder.

Still playing Agarest War 2.

The Alucart equipment pales in comparison to the true set. Its main perk is that having the whole set puts your status as ALUCART which is a high luck status. Other than that, it has no special, the Shield Rod effect is pretty weak, and the stats are all pretty low. In Harmony of Despair, the Alucart equipment is good for nothing, since the only boost in stats you get from it is 4 to attack from the Alucart sword, and no special, or Alucart Mail. Really, the only purpose for having it is high luck, or for kicking ass early in the game due to a rather intricate glitch. The Alucart Sword is still one of the fastest swords in terms of slashing speed, but doesn't really make up for it's low strength.

Still doing my insanity run on Mass Effect 3, met up with Tali (yay)

Also figured out that the master and commander trophy just requires you to 100% the galaxy at war map and then ask Hackett about galactic readiness (just a heads up for those who haven't got it yet)

On a random note just learnt today that the voice of Paarthurnax in Skyrim is the same voice of Mario and Luigi (Charles Martinet)

I didn't put it on long enough once I realized that the Alucart sword didn't have a special teleportation move like the Alucard sword did (or maybe I have missed it). But I suppose having high luck does factor in what enemies leave behind, right? Oh well.

Record of Agarest War 2 along with Lollipop Chainsaw is in the mix!

finally started playing Metro 2033. Enjoyed my first hour or so of the game, kind of creepy, but I like the premise of the game.

by RYCloud92 Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:09 pm

Taking a break from Mass Effect 3 playing the amazing Spider-Man. Only been on it for 2 hours and damm this game is...well....Amazing XD

by Claire Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:27 pm

@Erel, yes, luck is what determines how often you'll get a drop from enemies. It's keen if you want the rare items like the Crissaegrim, Yasutsuna, or Muramasa. Awesome blades, just saying. lol

by Archangel Fri Jul 20, 2012 2:02 pm

playing more Metro. I love the environment this game throws you in. Trapped in tunnels with creepy shit all around you.

by Claire Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:25 pm

Skyyyyyyyyriiiiiiiiim.

by Zane the pure Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:51 pm

Got back to Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Ken/Joe and Soki/Tekkaman Blade

by RYCloud92 Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:36 pm

Just beat The Amazing Spider-Man (the new black suit looks pretty awesome. Just wish the "classic" one was actually the one from the comics and not the one from the Rami films (also a bit annoying that I've unlocked this thing but there isn't much point now to free roam whilst wearing it (except to look awesome web slinging)))

Now back to Mass Effect 3, got Tali back Very Happy

by Claire Mon Jul 23, 2012 7:18 pm

Played a little Symphony of the night. By the way, Erel, turns out I was wrong. The Alucart Sword indeed DOES have the special, but it's still inferior to the Alucard Sword.

by Erel Mon Jul 23, 2012 7:51 pm

^For the PSX version and the PS3 PSN DL? Interesting.

by Claire Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:50 pm

The PSN DL is an exact rom rip of the original game. All of the awesome features, bad voice over, and glitches come with it. I don't remember if the PSP remake had it, but I doubt that really matters to you.

by Erel Tue Jul 24, 2012 1:41 am

^Not so much. But I just realized as I was about to spend some moolah to buy Symphony on PSN, I take the chance to glance at my PSX shelf and realized I still own the game. xD

What is the motion for the Alucart special technique? It isn't the same as the Alucard song, unless I had been inputting the wrong movement.

But for the record, I want to play Agarest War... but I"ve been too tired to game lately. Just been blogging. lol

by Archangel Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:26 am

I think I'm pretty far into Metro, blastin my way through the tunnels

by Claire Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:09 pm

The input is Down, Down-Forward, Forward, Attack. Same as the Alucard Sword.

Playing God of War III. Holy fuck, this game's AWESOME! However...Kratos is an inconsiderate asshole, and his voice actor sucks. Other than that, the game still kicks ass.

by Erel Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:09 am

^hhhmmm. I remember doing a 'hadoken' motion....OH well. I'll probably never find out for a while. Alucard's return in Lords of Shadow however.... Hope he is playable.

Just bought Lego Batman 2 for cheap. Going to pop it in in the morning and play it! And still playing Agarest War II.

by Archangel Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:53 am

u finally caved in and bought lego batman huh?

by Erel Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:24 am

Yeah. It was dirt cheap, that and I got an extra 20% coupon. So I'm playing it now. This was the first Lego game I actually played... I have no idea what the hell is going on. I used to watch Wifey play Lego Harry Potter and I'm still confused... lol.

Oh well. It's fun. Very simple and nothing too tedious in regards to going through it. I can see it as one of those games to merely just relax type of deal.

by Claire Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:37 am

It's a kids game, what'd you expect? lol

Still playing God of War III, but I'm heading home today, and might not get the chance to play it ever again. :[ I rarely find a hack'n'slash I like and this is one of them.

by Erel Wed Jul 25, 2012 12:19 pm

^I expected it to have sex, gore, and rock and roll. lol. And I disagree. It isn't a kid's game! It's for EVERYONE. lol

Agarest and Batman LEgo.

by Claire Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:05 pm

Might play Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, but my family is going to be doing stuff for the next week, so maybe not. :/
