Now playing...

[Rhapsody]

I finally got Soul Calibur III recently (since I've completely tapped Soul Calibur II, a rare thing for me) and I'm well into it now. This could take some serious time.

I've also completed New Super Mario Bros, and I'm taking a rest from Yoshi's Island DS for now.

[Kajitani-Eizan]

i think the NES FF1/2/3 aged better than their remakes...

[blairx06]

SHINING FORCE CD lol

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

[Goshi]

Ugh - I couldn't stand using Neco-Arc for more than a 1 round joke

I've actually settled into using Akiha Vermillion. Even though if I get hit three times, I'm dead, I find it's more fun to play as her. She's fast and her vuenarabiliy gives that desparation feeling to every fight (Actually a good thing to me, lol)

Yeah Neco-Arc is really that bad. Akiha Vermillion is IMO, much better than Akiha even though they're mostly the same. I'm not really good at using Akiha though I personally prefer using Len instead.

I'm playing Radiant Silvergun again though its through Cassini which is notorious for its crappy sound support. I could use SSF but I can never get it running at a good speed. Its either too fast or too slow.

[stahn]

Now I play Onimusha 4 it's so coooollllllll, I loved Onimusha 3 Jean Reno was so coolll !!!!!!(one of my favorites actors )

still tuning stahn and the party (3x Leon  ) in Remake, in secret dungeon it is fun and coollll for me

thinking to play Eternia ( memories back form other topic ( Ras do not die this time pleasssssss) ) 

and Saga Frontier 2 finishes egg directly not from dungeon 

[Kyo316]

I just got FF3, and now waiting for Raidiant Mythology to come in the mail.........

[supersonic1453]

Radiant Mythology is pretty cool.  My two biggest beefs are TP cost and the speed of the game.

I'm playing that, ToDr, and LoZ: TP.

Yeah, Neco-Arc sucks although there are a few amusing videos of Neco-Arc wiping out some teams... probably exhibition matches or something, never made sure.

Speaking of Melty Blood, a friend got me Tsukihime for my birthday. Got the English patch so I can appreciate the story. I only recently got around to playing it... if you can call it playing. *click* *click* *click*

The story is actually pretty nice if you developed an appreciation for the characters after playing Melty Blood. Just treat it more like a book and less like a game and it's nice. It's like a book meant for people who don't like to read books.

Keep in mind though that there's a lot of nsfw content in. But you were probably already aware of that >_>

[Kogahazan]

YA RLY. A bit awkward now since I actually got up to the first nsfw part and now am not so inclined to play it when my roommates are in.

[highfly]

Playing currently:

Wild ARMs The Vth Vanguard
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny OMNI vs ZAFT II PLUS

Finally managed to pass all 272 P.L.U.S. missions in OMNI vs ZAFT 2+.
Took me about 1600 tries before I managed to pass them all.
Now it's just about leveling up all the pilots to LvL 50 and try to pass the challenge modes.

Next I'll propably continue Jeanne D'Arc on my PSP or maybe Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology.

[Cless Aileron]

I finished Ocarina of Time Master Quest.  The Water Temple wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I'm now done playing Ocarina of Time repeatedly.

After all that, my attention is now all focused on Tales of Destiny remake.  I'll get back to Valkyrie Profile 2 while I'm at it.

[Azu]

Tales of Eternia.

[Leroy]

I'm on vacation this week for my birthday.. so I'll probably be playing a few games. Right now I'm working on the bonus dungeon of Xanadu Next and trying to see if max level is something actually reachable (it's not in the new Ys games, that's for sure). I've got Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin in my new DS, which is a lot better than what I was expecting.. I think Dawn of Sorrow really just hit me as being the fourth GBA/DS Castlevania with so little changes and I was really not interested in the new one because of that.

[bungiefan]

Finally beat Disgaea with the normal ending after getting it on the American launch week, and am occasionally playing through a second cycle to see the other endings. I also beat Castlevania Rondo of Blood with Maria but am still working on doing so with Richter.

Currently I've been playing Descent and Descent II via D2X-XL, the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time Master Quest, Guilty Gear XX Slash (like usual, since it's the competitive game most of my friends and roommates know how to play), Portrait of Ruin (before the R button on my DS stopped responding, laeaving me waiting for my triwing screwdriver to arrive), Trauma Center for DS, Megaman Zero 4, Riviera, and Advance Wars By Web.

[Cless]

Alrighty. I finally finished Twilight Princess. It didn't completely live up to my expectations, but it was still fantastically awesome, and probably still my favorite game of 2006.

Wii controls were pretty much perfect. Pointer aiming and spin attack control made things much more enjoyable than the traditional 3D Zelda controls. Gimmicky as the slash/attack controls are, they just felt better when you wanted them to. Then the split controller design allowed you to get extremely comfortable. Some people complain about the lack of manual camera controls that are still in the GameCube version, but I don't know why they're even needed... the auto camera was perfectly fine when you can re-center it with the C button when necessary.

I'm sure that I would have been frustrated with the more hectic sections and many of the minigames game with traditional controls. That battle before the 4th dungeon in that camp area was just made TOTALLY extra awesome and fun with the Wii controls.

That said, the game was hyped to be difficult. But I only found it to be a notch or two more difficult than the Wind Waker, which isn't saying much... since Wind Waker was very easy. Never got stumped in any dungeons (but they were very nicely designed), meanwhile I got stuck in several in Ocarina of Time.

The only other gameplay-related thing I didn't really like was poe hunting. Since they only come out at night... and there's no way to change day to night. The lack of this almost feels like an oversight, given you were able to change this in OoT and WW. I collected 47/60 poe souls before giving up.

The lack of character development was kinda crappy. You get know an awful lot about Midna. Also, given that Midna is the Twilight Princess, and by far and away the most important NPC in the game, I just started to wonder if a spinoff series could be in the works... The Legend of Midna. Similar to Zelda but takes place in the Twilight Realm rather than Hyrule/the light realm. It could be cool. Tingle for chrissakes got his own damn game, so why not?

Okay, okay... aside from the controls, I kinda dwelled on the main negative aspects, but overall, I still think of it as a 5/5 game. Amazing all around.

Not sure what long game to tackle next... maybe Ar Tonelico... not sure if I'm going to like it. I felt pressured to pre-order it because of the extra goods.
