I finally got around to playing Mega Man and Bass, the last of the sidescrollers in the series that I haven't played yet. It could use way less instant-death traps (I know, it's Mega Man, but they still overdo it even by those standards), but it had the best overall selection of boss fights in my opinion, as well as way more replayability than normal due to 2 characters, collectible data disks, and lots of choices with upgrades. Plus the graphics and animations are amazing, with normal Mega Man music (in other words, really good).

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War - AGAIN. This time, I'm trying to beat it with just the F-15 and variations
Gran Turismo 5 - The graphics, man. The graphics. :yumemi:

lol how does that suck- and does grinding to 99 in P4 also max your stats?

Female MC
Fighting against Elizabeth
Hard Mode
Got Maragidyne'd
Took 1218 Damage. Didn't even survive one turn.

I'm going to have to do this fight in Normal. Lowers the cost of the compendium as well, so it's easier to hit 100%. I currently have 84%.

Yeah, LV99 in P4 maxes out your HP and SP.

Playing Prototype and Mass Effect. Finally got access to a 360 and can play a buttload of games I've always wanted too. Mostly playing Prototype right now. That game is just fun. Later missions are a pain in the ass though.

Perfect World. Dull quests and combat, but nice music and large game world. Also love the ridiculous jumping. Jumping across rooftops makes me think of parkour.

Mabinogi: Heroes, since it's just been updated again. The Spark and Moonchopper were bad enough, but Blood Lord just rapes a party of four easy.

I temporarily dropped this game months ago after the 14th-ish mission for Suwacko knows what reason. I really need to resume this, it's fun as hell :3

Just started Mass Effect 2. It's taken a bit to get used to, and I confess that I prefer the previous, more RPG style game. Still, the plot starts off real strong and I'm having a rough time pulling myself away. Man, three sentences after I meet her, and I already want Miranda to be hurled from a burning building onto some nice squishy pavement below. Gratitude be damned in favor of kindness.

Finally beat DKCR 100% (not counting the puzzle pieces because ha ha old chap no). Still on EO3 though; In the post-game, where as usual the game gets really nasty. Just the way I like it.

Finally got FFVII to work on my computer, so I'm playing that. BV Man, what dated 3D graphics... oh well. Just got Aerith back to her house.

1) read Baity's sig
2) try to get 6x multipliers to see if it's possible (while trying to see if it was possible to beat litengfei's score

3) ...
4) awesomeness!

link to the page/game

well, I didn't think I'd do well on this playthrough, but then I looked at the timer... it seems I've chained a lot of red ufos this time. Does anyone know what do I gain if I get 5 bombs? Also, what's the advantages of getting rainbow ufos?

edit:

Got Katamari Forever for my birthday today. I didn't get an opportunity to play Damacy, so this is my first Katamari game.

HELL YEAH, THIS GAME IS GODDAMN AWESOME and the soundtrack is really nice too.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Still so awesome.

Took me long enough. >_<

Dragon Age Origins. I did something so awesome in the game that it couldn't handle it and froze. I was fighting

Spoiler:

and it picked Sten up in it's mouth and flew away. Sten was wearing the Blood Dragon Set and the Rainbow Butterfly Sword and the combination of that and him already being the manliest character in the game was already pushing the console for all it could handle and then a dragon picked him up in it's mouth and he was trying to break free and the console just said screw it and froze.

Also playing some 3D Dot Game Heroes. God that game makes me want to play the first Zelda. Considering it's like one giant homage to that game I think it was on purpose.

FFXIII

GODDAMMIT, I love this game, but

Spoiler:

is a VERY BIG no-no.

Also, Fang is overpowered, PERIOD

Widermelonz · « **Reply #405 on:** January 31, 2011, 06:30:25 AM »

Mirror's Edge. So I thought I'd give this game a try. It didn't turn out to be anything great, but it wasn't that bad either. It was alright I guess. Oh well, I'm going back to play my Assassin's Creed II now.

Unassuming Squid · « **Reply #406 on:** February 01, 2011, 10:36:42 PM »

LittleBigPlanet 2 is fucking awesome. It is to LittleBigPlanet what LittleBigPlanet was to user-created content.

My eventual goal is to make a danmaku shooter level. I figure Shinki's final pattern should be a good starting point.

Turn off gravity and create player switches that propel a little ship around.
Have the boss create millions of paintballs

Also, please tell me they've upped the Level Overheat cap.

Super Robot Wars OG2.

The hit rate in this game is weird as hell. I remember one stage where Viletta had like an 18% chance to get hit, and then proceeded to get hit three times in a row. I was mad for a while after that.

Kingdom Hearts re:Coded.

It's fun. It's like KH meets MegaMan Battle Network.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. Just got an Xbox 360, so may as well use it to play weeaboo fightan gaems.

Actually, first thing I made was Patchouli's Mercury Poison spellcard. It was pretty easy, surprisingly.

And I'm pretty sure they have. I didn't notice a significant load when I was randomly dicking around.

Not really as good as Monster Hunter, but it's nice in its own way.

Yakuza 3

I have this habit of picking up a game, playing it for a couple days and then forgetting about for anywhere between a couple weeks to a few months. Yakuza fell into the latter category.

The facial animations have me constantly impressed. They manage to look pretty damn realistic without even coming close to bordering uncanny valley at all.

I've started one of those permanent death runs in Pokemon Diamond.
My ~~Piplup~~ Mabufudyne is Lv. 11, and pwns everything.
Note Dawn's surprise when I didn't have any other pokemans because the pokemans in the starting three towns are around level five

HolmCross · « **Reply #416 on:** February 05, 2011, 05:28:55 AM »

Blew the dust off an old copy of Alundra, because I love old sprite based games. Also 999 whenever I've got free time in the office.

Currently waiting on Lost in Shadow to arrive in the mail and Deathsmiles to be released in PAL regions (18th Feb).

Well, I just bought a PS3.

And Atelier Rorona. And Final Fantasy XIII. And Demons Souls. _{And Crossedge.}

I just wish they wouldn't assume I have a 42 inch HDTV. At least give me the option of reading text from more than two feet away.

beaver1231 · « **Reply #418 on:** February 06, 2011, 12:55:08 AM »

Owning crossedge is bad?

About 45 hours in Gundam Musou 3, now trying to max out relations/sympathy and get licenses. I wish there was a less tedious way of earning cash rather than playing the Gundam fight missions again

WHMZakeri · « **Reply #419 on:** February 06, 2011, 04:44:52 AM »

I bought it mostly so I could play as Ulrika, but then I recruited her and realized it was actually Marie which, while still awesome, is not AS awesome as I had hoped.

I wish they put Ulrika and Chloe in instead of Raze, Lily, and Whim.

I haven't gotten very far in it. I'm still trying to get through FFXIII, Get use to Demon Souls, and I trying way too hard to resist the Siren song of the Atelier game. If only they made a full Atelier Game with Recettear style shop management, I would never be able to leave my tv.
