Now playing...

[revenile]

Ok I got a list

PC:
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion with Shivering Isles/Orrerry/Wizard's Tower/Knights of the Nine official mods and 70% of the graphics being modded: Quite possibly the best RPG on the pc ever, definatly second place to my first place Best RPG ever FF7.

The Movies: Stunts and Effects Come on, make your own damn movies xD

Bioshock: Ordered online 11 days after it's release with a new video card, I knew Bioshock would hold a place on my comp for years to come, the water effects being unmatched by ANY game out there now, a really well written story, the most original setting to be put into a game, and a really open ended combat system, if done right this would have been a bitchen deathmatch game.

Rappelz Revolution: In the world where WoW runs supreme (mmorpgs) there is one online game that is free, that's right FREE, that can rival it (my image is my character in the game) with gorgeous graphics, great sound effects and beautiful animations, this game is a definate check out game, and hey, it's the best price for a game, free

NDS:


Zelda: Phantom Hourglass A zelda game through and through.

Wii:

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition I payed more for this than the gamecube edition, and damn is it worth it, I tried to play it in the old style, but couldn't, I sucked at stick controls after playing on Wii.

VC:

Super Metroid: A leader in SNES games, nuff said
Star Fox 64: even now, 30 games through, it's charm is still there

(I have 7 others and really, really want to get sin and punishment since it's out, but can't afford it yet)

[stahn]

finally got my hands on new DRAGON BALL SPARKING METEOR so cooll game not for fans only but as a fighting game for all  the graphic is amazing for the first to the last attack looks really great and much better than in DBSN (sparking neo)

Before that I played Xenogears for my 4th time but when I got to prison I 've give up my will to play (man that game is one of the longest RPG on psx I remember but still fun to play 

[Goshi]

Before that I played Xenogears for my 4th time but when I got to prison I 've give up my will to play (man that game is one of the longest RPG on psx I remember but still fun to play 

Yeah the prison part is pretty bad simply because you're stuck with Rico who is the worst character outside Gears... or in this case the only one. Maria is actually good when not in a gear as well =/

Not only that but the sewers is the worst dungeon ever.

Still the best PSX RPG in my opinion. Though Tales of Phantasia is up there. But anyway...

FFTA2 is actually exactly the same as FFTA only it system is faster, there's more classes and the law system only penalizes the rewards you can get. Oh well... I'll probably get it when its released in English anyway since its not too bad of a game. Still nowhere near the original FFT though.

Etrian Odyssey still playing it. Beat Primevil and the 3 dragons so now I'm just aiming for the ultimate equipment. Will take some time though -_-

Super Paper Mario. I've actually already finished the game. Loved it though. I'm just doing the Pit of 100 (more like 300) Trials now.

[NirvashStarwind]

[stahn]

Finally every one of my friends got enough of playing Dragon Ball Sparking Meteor whit me and I got tired from always winning ( well not allways  ) I thought of returning to Xenogears but that "PRISON" well hehe

so now I am playing

Naruto on my beloved PSX yes yes that game is confusing at first but very fun and time consuming.

still can't unlock Zabuza and two stages perhaps someone played that game and can help me 

 

[GummySnake]

Haha I got a list of things too.

Currently on my systems I am playing

For the 360

Eternal Sonata
This game is pretty good for an RPG. If only it were a little longer, and had some more really hard sidequests. Still terrific either way.

Guitar Hero 3
I love Guitar Hero. Madd Fun.

Gears of War
I STILL play this game. I love the online more than Halo's.

On the PS2

Shadow of the Collosus
This game is just awesome. Also really fun to play.

Tales of Destiny 2
Now that I have a Spoiler Free Guide I can play this in Japanese. Battling is the only thing I'm interested in anyway. lol.

One the Gamecube

Tales of Symphonia
I'm doing a 10X Exp go-through. Currently owning all that comes in my way. I am suprisingly good at these games.

Smash Bros Melee
I play this as well. It's just fun. Haha.

Resident Evil 4
I try to make this game as hard as possible for me. I got this the day it came out so now all I do is try to make it as enjoyable as possible (Which it is). I finally beat the two Garradors on Professional, with only a knife. Hahahahaha.

Thats all my games to be playing. Haha.

[Rhapsody]

I've started playing though Super Metroid again, for no real reason. I've decided to spurn savestates and FAQs for this run, so I'll be on it for a while...

[UraRenge]

Might as well throw mine in too.

Hokuto no Ken (PS2)
Arc Systems really outdid themselves on this one.  Sure, it is just a direct port, which means there are only 10 characters (actually, there is 1 secret, but it's just a powered-up Raoh), but I don't really care.  Good fighting mechanics, has all but 2 of the original VA from the show, and all-around fun.  There's only 1 problem:  the difficulty is on-par with SFII.  In case you don't remember, SFII was insanely difficult at times because the AI could do WHATEVER THEY WANTED, even if you couldn't when using the same character.  Was that bullshit or what? Remember when the computer would play Blanka and could do back-charge moves while walking forward? I mean what the hell!

Tales of Destiny 2
I think this forum knows enough about this game.

.hack//G.U. Vol.3 Redemption
Must....beat.....Forest of Death....

Guitar Hero 2
Been playing on custom songs.  I still can't beat "Cut You Up With a Linoleum Knife V2"

[LenaAndreia]

 Figure I'd update this...

 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

 Finally got into this, and I'm horrendously addicted. XD Sadly, my wonderful father killed my DS a week ago and so I've resorted to roms (it's not illegal if you own the game, right? XD). Also unfortunately, the emu for some reason screws the save files up. So I've got to deal with suspense (didn't get to even finish the second case) until I can get a new DS.

 But man. The game is totally right up my alley. I love detective stuff AND Court TV, so it's a match made in heaven. XD In fact, it reminds me a bit of Detective Conan for some reason, which makes me smile. I also wasn't expecting there to be so much murder right off the bat (I'd been under the impression it was a light hearted sort of game, so I was expecting really weird cases).

 Rune Factory

 Another new purchase that I didn't even get to try before the DS was murdered. So I got a rom, and it saves and runs very well, which is cool. The only thing that sucks is that now I'm also horrendously addicted to Rune Factory, and the file on my rom is getting rather far... It'll be a pain to start over on the DS. ...again, I guess it's OK since I technically own both a DS and the game? XD

 Anyway, for those who don't know, it's a fantasy Harvest Moon game. I'm a Harvest Moon junkie, so I had to see this. It's pretty good--the protagonist actually talks, which is a change. Dungeon questing is pretty fun too once you get a sword (tip--trying to beat the first boss with your hoe because you're too cheap to buy a sword is a bad idea.)

 The battle system is nothing special either--think Zelda type of gameplay, but with HP. One of the suckiest things about it is that every swing of your sword drains "RP", which is basically your stamina (and your ability to do ANYTHING, including digging, planting, casting spells, ect). When you run out of RP you not only can't cast spells (with the exception of "escape", which is free), but every action costs you HP. So, you CAN swing your sword until you die. Granted, it doesn't happen very fast, but it's a bit of a pain.

 My BIGGEST gripe, however, is status attacks. EVERY FRIGGIN MONSTER can either poison you, paralyze you, or SEAL you. Poison and paralyze I can deal with, but SEAL (which, incidentally, every enemy in the first cave can use) seals your magic, including Escape (which you use to flee dungeons when the going gets rough). This means you can't use restorative magic to get rid of it. You have to trudge to the stupid doctor and pay 200g to get it lifted. I've gotten to the point that I actually reset the game if I get sealed, just to save myself the money. The secret, obviously, is not to get hit. And the monsters don't always use status attacks--it seems that those come out about 50% of the time.

 The story's nothing special at present, but most Harvest Moons are pretty thin in the story department. The main character lost his memory and was wandering around. He meets a girl named Mist, who talks him into taking over her farm. There are a slew of NPCs as is normal in a Harvest Moon--including about 11 that you can marry. One of the things I'm disliking about this title in comparison with the older ones is how friggin hard it is to give people gifts. You can't really forage like you could before (nothing grows in the woods--the only seasonal "nature" that you can collect grows on fields either on your farm or caves, and most of it is colored grass). Most people only like cooked things, or things you can make by crafting. Also, the girls love levels raise much differently in this game--they usually don't lift by you giving them things, but rather by what you do. Show up at festivals, and they'll like you better. One girl loves you if you use her bathhouse. Another one simply wants you to talk to her each day. Mist likes it when you farm. As a result, I'm finding it a little hard to focus on one specific girl to get my guy with (in fact, the one that I'd like him to marry has the least amount of love points, despite me trying to bombard her with flowers).

 Unlike other Harvest Moons, you can do your own metal working. I haven't gotten far enough to play with this, but I loooooove item creation systems, so it has me happy. The best part is you can upgrade your own tools, which hopefully means you won't be without them for 4 or 5 days at a time. You can also brew your own medicine, create "decorations" for your house, and cook. Before you can do any of that fun stuff, though, you have to upgrade the bloody house which costs friggin 200,000 gold and 2,000 pieces of lumber (the lumber is the bigger problem. I've been saving for about 30 days now, and I just now got 1000.)

 Instead of getting animals, you tame monsters in this game. So far I have some sort of weird apple/chipmunk creature, and two "sheep". Also new in this game is that there are many many caves that you can farm in. You have to unlock each cave (usually by beating the boss in the previous cave). The caves all have assigned seasons, so you can grow that season's crop in them all year long. This makes it possible to use fertilizer to level your crops, and also allows you to really milk some of the regrowing crops (strawberries are my current money maker).

 Anyway, it's addicting. XD They're making a sequel, so hopefully that one will fix the problems like rampant status effects, and maybe spice up the battle system just a tad (combo attacks please!)

 Legend of Dragoon

 Replaying it off and on. I found a mint condition sealed copy at the local flea market for like 10$. Couldn't say no to that! I still suck at doing the combo attacks. I would have thought that after 10 years and all that DDR and Para Para that I'd develop some better timing, but I guess I'll never be good at it. XD

 Not much else to say except that Dart still sounds constipated, and Rose still sounds like she's a dirty dancer. XD

 Smash Bros Melee

 I recently beat Earthbound (for like the 50th time), and had the urge to kick some ass as Ness. I deleted my file a long time ago to make room for Twilight Princess on my memory card, so I get to unlock everything again. It's pretty fun, but MAN, the first time I picked it up again I sucked pretty bad. XD I didn't realize how rusty you can get after like 5 years of not playing.

[Cless Aileron]

I've been wanting to scratch my itchy trigger finger, so I managed to borrow my sister's set of Guncon 2 (it probably helped that I mentioned that the light guns will not work on an HDTV, which is the only kind of TV in her house).

So I have been blasting enemies in the following PS2 games:

Time Crisis 2 & Time Crisis 3.  Nothing much to say here.  It's ported from an arcade game.  It's just that I love my Time Crisis.

Resident Evil: Dead Aim.  This is an interesting one.  It's one of the older Resident Evil games and it's a spin off.  The only difference would be shooting zombies in first person and the option of using the Guncon 2.  It's pretty interesting playing it with the light gun.  Flawed but I'm entertained.

Oh and speaking of Resident Evil, I'm also playing Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii).  This is also going with my "scratching that itchy trigger finger" mode.  Just blasting zombies and seeing the summary of the rise and fall of Umbrella.  Been playing the main scenario with a friend but I had to go solo to unlock the last scenario, where Umbrella finally gets taken down.  Oh yeah, I don't need some shell to get the feel of shooting zombies.

My gaming has been not with a normal controller the past week (Rock Band also contributed to it and I can say, "Guitar Hero, your days are numbered!").

[Goshi]

Pokemon Battle Revolution is the easiest game on the Wii with the only challenging areas being Neon and Sunset. Neon is just plain stupid with the wheel thing whilst Sunset is just hard since the choices and movesets are not quite so good.

Fate/Stay Night, replaying it since the English patch for the Unlimited Blade Works scenario is almost ready.

Makai Kingdom, been ages since I last played it. Still can't beat Yoshitsuna =(

[ForceCube]

Wild ARMs: 2nd Ignition: Okay, I give up. I can't stand random encounters anymore. Also, turn-based battles never seemed so annoying. And it isn't WA2's fault, it's my fault. I've played SO damn many turn-based RPGs this year I just got tired of them. I'll take a break from RPGs as soon as I finish WA2 (which will still take a long time, since I just finished the first three character introduction missions).
Though the battles are driving me insane, the puzzles and dungeon exploration are as awesome as the first and third WAs'. Makes me wonder why it took me so much time to decide to play this game.

Phantom Brave: Got to the last battle, the boss beat the hell outta my characters. So now I'm insane-levelling-up them on the random dungeons. Maybe by next year they'll be strong enough. >_>

Dawn of Mana: Probably the best of the worst games of 2007. ALL of the reviews I read before I bought it said it had terrible controls, horrid level design, a useless radar, "ZOMG IM BACK TO LEVEL ONE!!11!1!!", blah blah blah... and none of them ever mentioned graphics, music, story or anything else at all. Just the f**king gameplay. That only made me more curious, so I bought the game, put it inside my PS2, turned it on and... TA-DAH!! Freaking AWESOME. It had a great story,  nice characters, a "panic" system that's surprisingly fun, fantastic voice acting, frenetic boss battles and... SURPRISE! The controls aren't that bad.
Now I can only think the guys who gave it bad ratings must either suck at it or be frustrated because it isn't a cute little RPG like its SNES predecessors. Or maybe they are upset because after every chapter ends Keldy goes back from level FOUR to one.

Guitar Hero II: When am I ever going to stop playing GH...? ._.

[Goshi]

Got to the last battle, the boss beat the hell outta my characters.

He's big and bad. Even matching his level is not enough to take him down. I find its much easier to just level up your weapons and make them stronger. Which is easy if you harvest stuff from the 'Failure' Dungeons.

You also get some neat abilities in there too. Marona with Galaxy Beam is pretty powerful.

I've noticed that just matching his level wouldn't work. I'm leveling up because I need to have Marona and my other healers have enough MP to use Revive in battle at least twice, and raise the other characters' Speed and movement range at least a bit.

The biggest problem I'm having with this battle is that I _need_ to use Ash to destroy all the crystals making the boss invincible, and when I'm finished with them, there's only one turn left. Then I can only attack the boss once, and even with his Solemn Vow skill AND Heliotrope equipped, it only takes 30% of his HP. >_>

Hope the insanely powerful swords and axes I'm getting on the Failure dungeons will help me save him for the end of the battle next time I try.
