[Nobu]

Well, I *was* playing Street Fighter 4 and Monster Hunter, but i'm back on a Go kick again. :V

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Just started Monster Hunter~

[lmagus]

Tales of Vesperia

[Zengar Zombolt]

Iji.
Oh my god.

[lumber_of_the_beast]

Started playing Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier early this morning.

Quit playing it this afternoon. Forced Evasion fucking ruined that game.

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Picked up Super Metroid again and finished it this time, last time I stopped because I ragequit trying to figure out the mechanics of the Space Jump, but I figured it out this time around. Clear time under 11 hours, 81% completion rate - playing through it again to get a better time and %. BV

[Fetch()tirade]

Black and White.

[RainfallYoshi]

Just recently picked up Tales of the Abyss which is only my 2nd "Tales of..." game ever. I'm reallly enjoying it a ton. I might even go as far as to say that I enjoy this cast a lot more than the one from Tales of Symphonia.

[dustyjo]

Oh look, HL2's been updated with achievements :O


Time to play through it again~

[Bananamatic]

Devil May Cry 3 on Very Hard, finished with mission 11.
Good to know that there is atleast one boss I can consistently use Royal Guard against.

You reminded me of the fact that I still hadn't finished it. I still haven't finished it, but I got 2 chapters further today.  :derp:
So far, great game, but that was to be expected.

However, I need to listen better when people are explaining stuff to me. I had missed the fact that rockets in the air will aim towards the point you are marking with the scope. Needless to say, that made destroying the ships a little more difficult, seeing as I would usually fire a rocket and then immediately dive for cover. The strange behaviour of the rockets eventually clued me in, but by that time, I had already destroyed all but the last ship in "Sand Trap".

Cave Story!!!  :0
And Ms. Pac Man.

I smell a liar.
Drive Leveling doesn't make your levels rapidly rise, even if you are training Final Form by smashing 1000p Nobodies.

The easy leveling tip is using Gull Wing and turning on Experience Boost, going to Pride Lands, getting yourself to critical HP, then heading to the top of Simba's place and spamming Magnega.

It's simple, actually, fighting him under those conditions requires you not to get hit, is all.
As for drive leveling, I was leveling drives at the very end.
Valor Lv1, Wisdom Lv1, Master Lv1, Final Lv1.
Fulfilling the requirements to Lv7 all of those yielded at least 400,000 points.

My little sister beat the whole game at level 42
She's six.

Right now I`m being incredibly bored by FF13

[Grand Octopus]

So I finished a quasi-marathon of Suikoden V. First RPG I've played for ages and it was absolutely fucking brilliant. The game nailed everything I love about the series and was a wonderful return to form after the travesty of IV. Cast was generally excellent; Lyon in particular is easily one of my favourite RPG characters ever.

Spoiler:

Thank the 108 stars I got the best ending (and even that nearly killed me inside).

A couple of obvious flaws (like Lyon not being in your party at all times) but the game was so compelling that they're easy to overlook.

No idea how I'm going to follow this up. Maybe I'll hold out until Galaxy 2 gets released here.

[Fluffy Rocket Tails]

I recently finished Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon.
Now I'm trying to finish the first Super Mario Galaxy so that I can sell it.

[チソウ タイゼン]

Right now I`m being incredibly bored by FF13

Ah, same.
Well, not *right* now, just, sporadically, over the last three(?) months.
It's so insanely freaking linear. I want 15 to be like
A: Kingdom Hearts
B: Final Fantasy XII
C: Final Fantasy IV or
D: Mother 3

[Cadmas]

Started playing Resident Evil 5 yesterday and today with a friend.

Still playing Monster Hunter 3, but no one ever contacts me about it.

If it`s anything like FFXII I'll be very happy.

I'm in chapter 5, 10 or so hours of gameplay and I can't stand anymore.

[Bananamatic]

A: Kingdom Hearts

mash butan, win gaem

[orinrin]

Just got Alien Breed: Impact on Steam.  The two pack is a very nice deal.


I wish my friend would stop waltzing into my line of fire every time the enemies spawn.  Seriously, I just wasted 24 shotgun rounds because they all went into his backside.  Well, at least there's no friendly fire.  Also, this game is pretty damn hard.  The ammo pickups are so sparse and health items restore barely any health. The pistol may have infinite ammo, but it's pretty much useless against 90% of the enemies in the game.

[KomeijiKoishi]

This.

It has a game called Wonder Land.

You play Alice.

She has a bomb which can stop the time.

You fight Chen the grinning cat, Marisa Johnny Depp the Hat Maker and Hibachi the Heart Queen.

And this would've fit a lot better in the Addicted thread.

Most of the other games are really fun too, though. Just too bad you have to play so long to unlock new games T_T

And Bananamatic, yes, combat in Rouge Galaxy is starting to piss me off. And just because the AI of your party members is abysmal. No, it's beyond that. They should've just given you one character and it could be so much more entertaining to fight...

Oh well, still got Dragon Quest VIII and maybe that mini game with insects is going to be more fun...

[チソウ タイゼン]

I'm in chapter 5, 10 or so hours of gameplay and I can't stand anymore.

Chapter eight, 12 hours.
Expect more corridors and angsty character development.
I haven't ground enough to max out everyone's Crystarium, because I don't have the patience.
A majority of the gametime stems from the amazing (-ly boring) preset encounters that take an assload of time to do. Apparently it's a great idea to give enemies thousands upon thousands of health and to let the player do about 20 to 30 damage until they fill up the 140% Stagger requirement, which, of course, takes forever.

mash butan, win gaem

Though true, it's still a fun button masher.
And you can't say you didn't love the Gummi Ship sequences.
I saw an S+10 video of Assault of the Dreadnought, and it was freaking insane.
The highest I got was like S+4.

I thought odessa made that pretty clear

I mean he tells you twice

derp

Woah wait a minute, how on earth did you get that far without knowing that? The gunship usually shoots down your rockets instantly unless you go in some crazy pattern.

That's why I said I need to listen better. :derp:

Hm, how many hours is this game, anyways? Finished "Anticitizen One" two days ago and haven't played since then...  :V

There's 4 chapters left, but Chapter 13 is really short and 14 is just the credits :V

Aw, that's a shame. Then again, I still have Episode 1 and Episode 2...  :3

Woah wait a minute, how on earth did you get that far without knowing that? The gunship usually shoots down your rockets instantly unless you go in some crazy pattern.

Well, shoot so that the rocket, if it actually went a straight line, will hit the ship if it continues it's movement like that. It will probably miss anyways, but I think I made at least one or two hits that way.

If you are under fire, dive for cover. If you are safe, look for where the dropship might be. Continue this until the rocket explodes, no mater where this will be. This will cause the rocket to move around the sky in an erratic pattern like a sattelite who downed a crate of Jack Daniel's. The majority of the rockets will miss or be shot down, but eventually some will hit.
While it will take way too long, you will take only little damage (unless the rocket hits the ground next to you, but that's what medkits are for) and you have infinite ammo anyways.  BV

And Valve's tradition of making an update that adds a bunch of cool things but breaks about 1000 other things continues.

I'm stuck at the end of Entanglement because it fucking glitched and Dog won't open this goddamn door.

[Iryan]

I got stuck at the end of Entanglement because, uh, (I forgot her name) didn't move out of the teleporter and blocked the way. Luckily that is basically seconds after an autosave the loading of which fixed it, but still.  :V

Disabling multicore rendering seems to fix it.

Oh hey it worked. Alyx is the one that's supposed to open the door, but before she just stood there and threw her voice into the teleporter room somehow.

Doesn't valve test their shit before releasing it?

oh hey they've just fixed it
