FFX was pretty annoying, though; the characters were all lame, the story was pretty stupid (Meg Ryan is a water polo player who travels to the future to fight a monster. Except he's just a dream) and you kill that loser Seymour probably four times in the entire game. Not "knocked him out"; he actually dies multiple times and comes back from the dead because he wants to fuck Yuna so badly. I did like the combat. The whole "switch party members mid-battle" thing is something more RPGs need to do. There's no reason for three people to go through a fortress when I have a whole army of dudes. |
FF6 is in my opinion the best FF ever made. You would do well to give it another shot, if only a free ROM download.
Yeah the story and characters in FFX are not what make it great. The combat and the ability wheel or whatever it was called. |
ya I was speaking of the SNES FF2
|
FF2 on SNES was really good but hard.
Phoenix: I agree with Dimnos. You def should play through FF6. If you get stuck just let me know instead of looking it up. You should be able to play through the whole game without using a strat guide. If I'll mention one thing while playing through the game it's Wait......wait for shadow........ |
Yea, I got the ROM on my Wii waiting to go (playing on a TV with the controller motivates me), so I might try that again if FF9 doesn't work out. I'm only in the Ice Cavern right now, so we'll see how things go from here.
I like the ability system, because it reminds me of the one in Tactics A2, which was the only reason I played that game. |
Do you need to MOD the WII for the emulator to work? I'm trying to get my roommate to do it but he's weary of it.
|
You need the Homebrew Channel to run it. No mod chips or anything. BannerBomb lets you install the channel without Twilight Princess, so it's actually easier than ever to set it up now. After that, you just need to download the emulator and ROMs.
|
I'll try that. I actually have Twilight Princess so I'll check it out wednesday at my day off. Is that where you can download Brawl+ too?
|
Brawl+ requires you to download Gecko OS (basically, a cheat program like Action Replay or Gameshark) because it isn't technically a mod in the literal sense; all the changes (loading custom costumes, increasing specific attack speed or damage) are just codes that are loaded through Gecko. You can still play normal Brawl by not loading Gecko.
I've got the links for BannerBomb, Homebrew (HackMii), Emulators, and Brawl+ all bookmarked if you need me to email them to you or something, but it's really just a matter of putting things in folders and pressing A. |
That's not so bad. I'll get back to you on wednesday when I have some time to fool around with it. Thank you :)
|
7th Saga!
It's awesome! |
Got Tiger Woods for the Wii because I wanted to try the Wii Motion Plus.
I'm real bad at golf. "That was the worst putt I've ever seen" :( |
PROTOTYPE IS RAD
|
FUCK YOU PG I POSTED THIS ENORMOUS GUIDE IN THE MOTHER3 THREAD ABOUT SOFTMODDING THE WII
GODDAMN YOU GETTING THE SHORTCUT BECAUSE OF ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY edit: i wonder why my infamous trophies aren't showing up in my sig also, a friend started infamous being good, but yet during the first mission with the food, people were like "yeah!" "alright!" and happy and shit, then a cutscene plays and apparently everyone still hates him, started throwing rocks. this morality system is so broken (SEE FALLOUT3 FOR COMPARISON) |
My friend loaned me GTA4. I finally got around to the missions, and I don't think I'm even a quarter through them yet. It's both entertaining and frustrating.
|
The one I hated most was where you had to chase down and kill the Lost gang member, because he gets a badass speedy hog and you get a fucking honda to follow him with. And you can't actually kill him until he calls his friends up in the park and you get into a gunfight with them on foot.
I figured I'd just shoot him off his bike right after the mission started and that would be that, but noooooooo, he gets arbitrary godmode for five minutes. |
Haven't been playing much lately...mostly Street Fighter 4 for the PS3 and Geometry Wars: Galaxies on the DS.

Okay so frisbee golf in Tiger Woods is totally one-to-one. The only problem is I can't throw frisbees for shit, so I get the same horrible results in the game as I do in real life :(
Still, the game recognized all of my hand motions, so if I wanted to throw the disc at my own face, I could. |

Alternating between Red Faction Guerilla, Star Ocean, Onechanbara (What? It was like 6 Bucks :D) and Folklore...and there´s Prototype still on the way, as well as Nights in the Nightmare (already played the ROM a bit, very interesting game)...gonna be a tight month for my wallet...
|
I'm playing Sims 3 and Armed Assault 2.
|
ARMA2 isn't out yet - beta? Is it good?
|
I got the EU version. So far I like it, it's pretty good in my book especially if you're into realistic tactical sims.
|
PROTOTYPE!!
|
What's your impression on Prototype Dimnos, and did you get the new map pack for CoD?
|
It was a little slow to start off. They have a prologue that is very linear and then the actual game starts up and the first few missions that are the tutorial are also rather linear. After all that crap though the game truly opens up to be a sandbox game and its quite bad ass. Im not really that far into yet, I just picked it up last night. But so far its great.
No I havnt picked up the new map pack yet. I will probably do that this weekend though. |
The 2nd set is much better than the first map pack
|
I would hope. The only reason I got the first pack was for the zombie map.

i really want to purchase FFVII over psn, but i'm not sure if i can even dedicate myself to that. i start so many RPGs, get close to the end, and never finish. see mother3 and chrono trigger :( :( :(
|
Tried Rakugaki Showtime today. It's a PSX game like Power Stone, except with an emphasis on throwing things (think super violent dodgeball) and a weird crayon art style. Also, Marina Liteyears is an unlockable character, which is pretty much the only reason I'm playing the game :D
I want to play Mischief Makers again, but my gamepad is broken and it's not on Virtual Console :( Quote:

I still haven't touched Mother 3 after chapter 4 :\
|
That game you were harping on for months on the run-up to the release of the translation? Why the hell not?
|
Because it's more important for guitar woman to be seen to be playing obscure jRPGs than for him to actually play them.

I'm playing Fallout 3 again. After hanging out with a buddy who had been playing it with the download packs, I decided to do the same.
Buuuut, I also played through Symphony of the Night and then Aria of Sorrow in the past couple weeks. |
Gotta say, I saw that Infamous-Twist coming as soon as I did some of the Deaddrop-Missions...just too obvious in some conversations. But a good game anyway.
Played Prototype for 4 hours yesterday and it doesn´t seem nearly as bad as some reviews make it look. Graphics are nothing special, so what? It´s a fun game to play so far. More fun than Red Faction I gotta admit. |

|
I played Prototype and it's just so goddamn silly that I can't take it seriously. I've been playing the shit out of Ghostbusters, though.
Really, this game is abso-fucking-lutely beautiful. And it's so much fun. I took a friend who had never seen the movies and put him into the game and he couldn't stop playing. He almost missed his college orientation he was that into it. |
I had fun with inFamous, now I'm tearing through Red Faction and Ghostbusters. They're quite good.
|
renting ghostbusters, idk the gameplay seems a little too repetitive for it to rank more than a c+ :/

I started playing Lego Indiana Jones for some reason.

I just started Mirror's Edge. That game's frickin' hard! I always run into a group of cops with shotguns, and before I can change directions my head is a smear on the ground.
|
Quote:
The story is alright for what it is. |
Scratch that, I just BEAT Mirror's Edge. I thought it was pretty amazing, if not short. The music was equally amazing.
|
Beat Prototype yesterday. Lame Boss, but a really nice game...waiting for Knights in the Nightmare to arrive from the depths of Hong Kong.
|
Working on Metroid Fusion to complete my canon Metroid run. I really like the game; Samus feels really agile, the story is rad, and the game really likes to fuck with you.
|
just finished the 4 kingdom hearts it took me back to when i loved my good ol disney movies
|
Mario Party 7 because my cousin didn't unlock Birdo. Birdo for the nguyen!

Really? I just finished it, and I never used a walkthrough. It helps to really check every nook and cranny. I also stocked up on Super Bombs and used them pretty frequently. Adam also makes progression a lot easier since he tells you what part of the map to progress towards.
At least it never does anything totally obscure and weird, like how you unlock the water level in Super Metroid. Sure, it was cool, but how was I supposed to know to do that? |
Speaking of that logo, I've been playing my old Super Nintendo a lot lately. It still works since I got it in 1991! Mainly playing...
Super Punch-Out! (Special Circuit is a bitch, made the World Circuit look lik e a joke.) Super Mario Kart Paperboy 2 (The best one to me IMO) Earthbound Zombies Ate My Neighbors the Pocky & Rocky games Mario All-Stars Super Mario World The games I should be playing on the SNES: Super Castlevania 4 |
Just been playing ARMA 2 recently. Awesomely complicated game but really realistic and great fun when things are going well.
|
Pocky and Rocky is awesome. You need to play some Lufia 2 son.
|
Plants vs. Zombies, silly billys/
|
journey, infocom's last developed game. it's really good, and i wish they'd made the whole trilogy >: stupid activision, stupid cornerstone
|
Trying out Devil Survivor on the DS. It's as if they took the story from The World Ends With You, the combat of a Persona game, the monster collecting from any SMT, and turn-based strategy from FFTactics and made one weird visual novel. I kinda like it, but the difficulty ramped up pretty fast.

The games you should be playing: Joe and Mac, incantation, and Link to the past of course |
Fallout 3 (the new add-on, Point Lookout, specifically)

Does anyone know if the Fallout 3 DLC is available through the Steam version?

Contra Spirits, Zen: Intergalactic Ninja, Ghostbusters for the Genesis, Doom, and Doom 3.

hahahaha :( The majority of L2 is awesome but then they remembered that it was a prequel so you basically had to win the game to make it canon. Playing through it a 2nd time is awesome because you get double xp and money so the 50 level descending ancient cave dungeon isn't so bad. |
I just got Call of Duty: World at War on 360 and I need someone to play it with. :(
|
I FUCKING FINISHED MOTHER 3 YESTERDAY
and it was great :D now i'll probably try to finish chrono trigger without losing interest :p then buying either ff7 or mgs on psn, or both :x |
Zeno Clash was 50% off, so I jumped in.
It's a weird fucking game. |

TMNT: Turtles in Time RESHELLED is scheduled to hit xbox live arcade on the 22nd. On the 1st, Worms Armageddon :O!!!!!
|
holy hand grenades, batman :o

Can't wait for worms. We still play it on PS1 and the graphics start straining my eyes.
:CONCRETEDONKEY |
It's about time to see that game get more love. Even though people still netplay it.

|
by that do you mean that you got bumped up to hard after traveling underneath the bridge after the 2nd mission? because i think most people got that, asswipe
|
Oh that's fucking gay.
All you have to do is forcibly suck the whole game, then have it up you to hard. YOU SUCK. Also, I got Hard Mode at the end of the first mission. |
I still play GTAIV on a regular basis :/
|
Still trying to play ARMA2 but it is very difficult.
I've got one other friend that plays so we usually get on Vent and just do our own thing. Obviously not trying to clear out a whole objective but we set ourselves tasks like taking out T90s and such. It's cool because at the main base you have a whole load of ammo boxes full with practically anything you could want - Javelin missiles, SMAWs, rifles, sniper rifles, satchel charges etc. So what we were doing last night was loading the boot on a Humvee full of weapons then driving to a wooded hill overlooking a tank concentration. After observing it for several minutes we took a few tentative shots at a patrolling T90, which alearted the enemy to our presence and ultimately led to us both getting killed. Fun though, and if we'd had a couple more squad mates we could've done a lot more damage. |

I tried the demo for ArmA 2 the other day, but it ran like shit on my computer for some reason.
The point is it's MM's fault. |
Yeah a lot of people have been having performance problems. Apparently it's being worked on for the next patch. Though even with optimisations I still think it'll be a CPU/GPU/memory hog because of the huge amount of detail in the maps.
The other thing is I can't imagine much gets achieved in the demo as everyone will be inexperienced and it takes at least a couple of weeks of consistent play to find your feet in this game. To find good team-mates you'll probably need a full version (though even the full version is full of tossers). |
WRECKING FOOLS IN BLAZBLUE
JUGGLING HOT SHOTS GOLF 2 ON PSP AND THE NEW SMT ON DS |
Garou: Mark of the Wolves is quickly becoming a favorite of me and my brother's. The characters are all extremely well designed (i.e. they look like fighters (most of them, anyway) and are fun to play), the system works very well (sort-of like SF but with 4 buttons rather than 6), and the entire presentation is gorgeous. It almost feels like blasphemy to say that it might actually be better than SFIII (which currently holds my position for best fighter, but maybe not for much longer).
I just finished playing NSMB again. Sadly, my feelings haven't changed. It's still a disappointment for a Mario game. 16 years we wait, and all we get is a passable platformer. Mario shouldn't be passable, or adequate. He should be Glorious. I really hope Nintendo steps it up to their A game for NSMBW, because I honestly felt that the 2D sections of Galaxy felt more like 2D Mario than NSMB did. I also finished Metroid Prime 3 again. I seriously underrated that game. While it is the worst of the Metroid Prime games (bosses, story, levels, item usage all step down in quality from the previous games), it's still damn good. The Grapple Lasso is featured prominently and is fun to use (though I wish it had more importance that it did. If they make a 4th 3D Metroid game maybe they'll find more use for it), there are still some nuggets of genius bosses and levels, and the soundtrack is Kenji Yamamoto's usual Atmospheric brilliance. The controls are absolutely fantastic. The Wii has no excuse not to have fantastic FPS's when MP3 so clearly shows how an FPS should play on the console. They work so well that I'm going to buy the Trilogy so I don't have to feel weird playing Prime 1 and 2 later. Get the Trilogy when it comes out so you can play these 3 great games. SFII: Remix still gets plenty of play. The designer of the game (David Sirlin (sirlin.net) did a fantastic job rebalancing the cast. They all play much better than they did in Super Turbo. He did so great that I felt no need to keep SFIV (sold it on eBay) since it paled in comparison. The ST and new art are great too. |

FOUR PARTIES OF THREE PYRO JACKS ON ONE MAP IS NOT SO AWESOME. GODDAMMIT STOP REFILLING ALL OF YOUR HP. OH JESUS YOU'RE BURNING MY ENTIRE PARTY NOW. I'm also playing a certain rhythm game that I think LordSappington might like, but I'm to embarrassed to mention the name :( Also, my copy of BlazBlue is an hour's drive away but they didn't deliver it, so I'm pretty bummed. Been killing the time with Madworld, which is pretty fun. The graphics make it hard to see, though. |
I keep on fusioning new demons on SMT:DS and then I feel like I just ruined my parties and freak out.
Are you going to play BlazBlue on 360 or PS3? :( |
I keep certain demons, but I try to balance the parties. What I do when I see a nice fusion is run to the Auction and just buy duplicates of what I need, then fuse those guys instead. That way I don't lose someone I might want to stick around.
I'm playing BlazBlue on PS3. Don't own a 360, but even if I did, the PS3 has a nicer D-Pad. |
Okay, so now it is Valkyria Chronicles and Knights in the Nightmare, which are both awesome. Ordered a Demon Souls from Hong Kong as well, I just hope it doesn´t get stuck in customs/toll (whatever the correct word may be in this sentence) again like Knights...BUT it came with the nice Artbook, which I didn´t expect, so it´s okay.
|
BlahzBlue finally arrived after UPS dragged out a 10 minute trip for 6 hours :(
I kinda prefer Guilty Gear. It just feels like BB has less options and a slower pace. Maybe I just need to play around some more. The repetitive sound bites are also pretty annoying (YOU'RE NOT HUMAN! YOU'RE NOT HUMAN! MAJOR! MAJOR! OPTIC BARREL! OPTI-MAJOR!) The art book was also pretty disappointing too; only 31 pages. I guess the print quality is nice, though. And the additional "how to play" disc is pretty handy. |
Figuring out how to get 100% in the story modes is going to be a pain in the ass. :(
|
It's a visual novel, right? Just respond to things differently.
|
YOU THINK THAT, UNTIL YOU DO EVERYTHING AND STILL DON'T HAVE 100% :rolleyes

WORMS ARMAGEDDON!
