Re: What Game(s) Are you Playing?

by Archangel Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:50 am

just finished metro 2033. Solid game, it has it's flaws, but its still fun, I can see why it has a cult following. Now i'm just running through it for achievements. Planning on buying Kingdoms of Amalur here soon

by Erel Thu Jul 26, 2012 9:41 am

Playing Agarest and Lego Batman 2. Agarest just started getting a bit better after figuring out a few ways with the gameplay. Story is still meh, but it piques my interest well enough.

Still contemplating about Darksiders 2, but perhaps I'll just wait.

by Archangel Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:45 am

@Erel--no way am I getting Darksiders 2. The first game was my biggest mistake purchase in a looong time. I know technically it isn't a terrible game, but it just got old for me, and doing a puzzle after 5 minutes of hack n slash, and then another puzzle gets boring, if I want a puzzle game, I'll play Portal

by Erel Fri Jul 27, 2012 11:11 am

@Zack: I didn't read up on DS II if they're going to tone down on the puzzles or what not. While I can concur with your annoyance on the exuberant amount of freakin puzzles left and right, I still had fun. I just took my time playing it. The art was great, the story seemed interesting enough, and War was a badass so, I'll have high hopes for Death. But again, I totally understand why you're not getting it.

In the mean time, I'll be returning Lego Batman. Playing ME 2 before I start a new game with ME 3. Still playing Agarest War II in the process.

Still playing Mass Effect 3 on Insanity (about to go to the asari home world, re-met Jacob on the citadel too)

Once done I'm going to pick up on all the other games I haven't touched in ages (mainly Final Fantasy VI, Pandora's Tower and Last Story)

On a side note beat Kid Icarus, loved it

I finally got my copy of ME3 to work. I'm in the process of boosting my Galactic Map again because it's been at least 3 months since I last played so everything was back down to 50% and I STILL haven't seen the new endings so HUSH.

Picked up the GOTY Borderlands a week ago and it's super fun. I love playing as the Berzerker. If anyone has it, lets play online sometime.

Assasin's Creed... This game kinda sucks. I'm so sick of doing the same missions over... And over... And over again. They story is interesting but the transitions between Altair in the past and the present day scenes don't mix well in my mind. I heard the second game is badass though.

PERSONA 4 ARENA WILL BE OUT AUGUST 7TH!!! I will be playing this thank you very much. Nemo, Zane, if you pick it up on the release date, lets play online. I wanna charge around with Kanji and his fold-up chair.

by Claire Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:53 pm

Certainly, Zane says he's gonna preorder it when the date is a little closer. Don't ask me why, it didn't make sense to me.

Not playing anything atm, cause my family is doing a bunch of theme park visiting for my dad's vacation. :]

by Erel Sat Jul 28, 2012 3:15 am

@Amarant: Your copy of ME3 stopped working? Ouch... Glad you got it going again. I'm too enamored with the game that if my disc stops working... think I'd obliterate my game room.

Currently playing ME2 and Agarest War 2. Looks like I'm getting Dark Siders 2 after all.

by Archangel Sat Jul 28, 2012 9:15 am

@amarant. You have borderlands for ps3 don't you? Also I didn't really care for the first assassins creed either, but I love the second game.

by Zane the pure Sat Jul 28, 2012 8:07 pm

yep, it's decided I'm preordering persona 4 arena tomorrow.
See ya online Amarant.

by Erel Sat Jul 28, 2012 10:29 pm

Been Playing ME2 for the most part the lats couple of days; still as fun as I remember, but how smooth and coherent the gameplay is compared to ME3 becomes even more apparent now.

Agarest War II is on the side.

by Claire Sun Jul 29, 2012 2:00 am

Um...hate to confuse you again, Erel, but the Alucart set doesn't, I repeat, DOESN'T have a special. You actually start out with the real Alucard equipment in the beginning of SotN, not the Alucart equips. I had to replay the game again, and I looked in the menu and, sure enough, it said Alucard everywhere.

PSP version, though I don't think they would have changed that for the remake. Cause the Dragon Helm and Twilight Cloak are equipped either way. Sorry to keep throwing this back and forth, but I'm putting this in cement now. Alucart, no special...Alucard, fucking SWEET!

by Archangel Sun Jul 29, 2012 9:11 am

completely done with Metro, now debating on my next purchase

I remember Alucard's special. It's the teleportation move, which was awesome. I remember the few minutes when you start with it in the beginning of the game and Death strips you of them (little bitch) and you are left with nothing but your fist and vigor to fend off baddies for a bit. The Alucard cape happened to be my favorite as well (there was also a transparent cape... one of my favorite; Twilight cloak?).

But no need for apologies... I was just curious in regards to the clone equipment. Thanks for clearing that up. At any rate, I think I"ll post on your thread in regards to this game.

Still playing ME2 and Agarest War 2.

by The Cap'n Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:57 pm

@Erel: Yup, found out that I can't be logged onto PSN when I start ME3 because it causes it to freeze for some odd ass reason. So I can play online and all that other shit again. Good thing too because I just got a Krogan Soldier and it's super badass.

@Zack: Yeah, 'fraid so.

@Nemo and Zane: Sweeeeeet, Atlus did say their gonna add a few DLC characters in a while as well as a bunch of costumes.

by Archangel Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:41 am

@cap--I figured you would appreciate the humor in borderlands, as there is plenty of it.

Right now, I am in between games, so I might play some gears 3 mp

by Zane the pure Mon Jul 30, 2012 12:56 pm

Cap'n: Lets hope for captain Junpei huh?

by Claire Mon Jul 30, 2012 7:19 pm

@Erel, Crystal Cape is the transparent cloak, Twilight Cloak is the pulsing red and black cloak with awesome stats. :]

@Cap'n, I wish Shinji could be playable, but yeah, the plot would be sorta drilled, unless they go with the side-quest version which apparently keeps him around in the game. Junpei would all I need, though. Zane said it'd be cool to have the dog playable, keep forgetting his name. :/

by Erel Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:27 pm

^Crystal cape. I wore that one for a while until I got Alucard Cape back. I also used the one cloak that you can customize the color; for the freakin name of it.

Mass Effect 2 and Agarest war 2 still; Now on Shepard's line of the story, I'm about to meet up with Okeer.

by RYCloud92 Tue Jul 31, 2012 8:14 am

Right finally beat Mass Effect 3 on insanity and got all the trophies (went with synthesis, didn't feel right to approve of an idea the illusive man supported and didn't want to kill the geth just to get at the reapers)

Now thats out of the way I can continue with "big fat list of games I have to beat before buying anymore"

Which includes
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions (2 more acts to go)
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Resident Evil Revelations (just on the last boss I think)
The Last Story
Pandoras Tower
Pikmin
Final Fantasy VI (near the end, about to go to Kefkas tower)
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy XIII.2
Final Fantasy I (forgot all about it)
Assassins Creed Revelations
Red Steel 2
Metroid Prime 3 (same with FFI)
Fallout 3 DLC
Fallout New Vegas DLC
Metal Gear Solid 4 (when the trophy patch is up)
and the Amazing Spider-Man (just to make a new game + save where the story is finished but I haven't done side missions (like car chases etc))

So yep looks like I'll be busy, might start with either Final Fantasy VI or Spider-Man shattered tonight

by Darkness Phoenix Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:14 am

^ There's not gonna be a trophy patch for MGS 4 instead Konami is just gonna re release it and that version will be the one that has trophy support.

by Archangel Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:28 am

@RY-you will have a busy rest of the year even if you don't buy any new games

by Just_Smile Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:50 am

I refinished revelations.. Again >>

And we'll soon go on vacation, so that means PSP games 8D
I already bought AC bloodlines and I want to buy an FF title too..

So, I had a little question :3 What FF title is best ? Tactics, I, II or IV ? (I just hope to find them second hand)

by Erel Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:18 am

@RY: Godamn. LOL.

@Smiles: Call me biased, but out of all the titles you have listed, I am enamored with Tactics' storyline, gameplay, and characters a lot more than the others. Then again, I have never played anything else in that list aside from FFIV so... my opinion may lack sufficient input.

by Nightmare Tue Jul 31, 2012 12:38 pm

@Smiles: well xD Tactics is a good and long winded game although IV is pretty good aswell since u normally got after years with it on PSP or atleast a friend of mine did xD either way id suggest IV or Tactics xD
