The Longest Journey is one of those unknown indie games that isn't actually any good

Thanks, GW. Now I know for sure this is a great game.

EDIT: Sorry if my sig reminds you of the thread that exposed you.

At the moment, Star Ocean 4 and it's totally awesome. A really great jrpg.

I was talking about the original one but ok

medievil, syphon filter, twisted metal 2 (<3 PSN), on the last chapter of dead space, and trying to get fucking fallout 3 to work on my computer >: THANKS A LOT VISTA

Hook (SNES) and Street Fighter IV.

bought re5 today and played it for about 3 hours online will my friend. wonderful experience!

and i beat dead space today and am proud to say that i'm returning it tomorrow because it was absurdly repetitive, isaac was an awful character, and it had the zero G element, which was amazing and extremely fun, but they fucking ruined it

I love resident evil 5:)

RE5 and Persona 4...two excellent games, even though I like Persona quite a bit more.

I was wondering when Europe was gonna get it :D

Near the end of Valkyria Chronicles. I love mowing down foot soldiers with my tanks. And the class upgrades made me replay a few skirmishes for experience. I can't wait for the DLC.

Yeah, it´s been almost a year since you got it in the US, right? Anyway, I´m just glad we got it at all. Now they just have to port Persona 1 and 2 for the PSP and I´m a really happy guy.

We only got P4 in December :X

Also, P1 and both P2 games are playable through popsloader or whatever the hell my PSP does when I load modified PSX games. I tried the translation of Innocent Sin, but the combat was awkward :(


Anyways, Henry Hatsworth came out, and that game is pretty funny. I wish the puzzle and the platforming were more simultaneous, like The World Ends With You, but I think this is probably a more casual title. Either way, it's pretty good.

Someone also reccommended me this Animal Crossing knock-off for the DS, called Enchanted Folk. Instead of running around and collecting clothes, money and furnature, the game lets you do that and learn spells (a student used a fart spell on me randomly :( ) and take part in different quests and shit. And the campus is pretty big and has lots of shit to do.

I'm kinda impressed by how much stuff is in it, even if the game is too fucking cute for its own good. If anyone here actually likes Animal Crossing, you might like Enchanted Folk.

P1 is being ported to the PSP this... June, I think? It's getting a retranslation and the Snow Queen quest has been re-added, which will only make sense to you if you're a giant faggot into sorta-obscure RPGs like I am oh god

For P2's combat, change the Battle Mode to Single. That way you get to choose new actions every turn instead of having it just cycle endlessly. I don't know why it isn't set that way to default.

thread-relevant content: I am playing Alundra.

I finally beat all the planets in Arcade in Super Stardust HD and wow, what a fucking frustrating game.

It's 5 phases, and if you lose at any point, you have to repeat all of those phases even if you reach the boss, and i was playing on EASY MODE!
I also played it co op and my friend liked it but fuck, i hate games that frustrate me like prince of persia's broken combat system

KILLZONE 2.

Man, this game is fucking AWFUL.

hahaha it really is :(

Well I guess I have a reason to put it back on my memory stick then, because I was seriously confused when I picked one command and wasn't doing anything for the rest of the battle :(

i finally goy chinatown wars, man this game is awesome the city is the same from gta 4

Don´t worry, even I knew what that meant and I never played P1 and P2...but apparently I read about that Snow Queen stuff...I guess.

Blast Factor is the same shit as well but seems like they copied Super Stardust HD but somehow made it more frustrating since a single "survival cell" is about 8 levels...

:/

I've been playing The Nameless Mod that just came out for Deus Ex after 7 damn years (http://www.thenamelessmod.com/trailer/) and Dragon Quest V mainly.

chapter 5 in resident evil 5. i think we should have it beat by tonight or tomorrow. then its merc mode baby :D

also, returning dead space tomorrow to buy GTA4

Final Fantasy 2/4!

So I finally beat Valkyria Chronicles, meaning I'll finally shut up about it :D That game seriously ups the ante at the end; parking tanks on inclines to aim high up? Luring a dreadnought through a minefield to stop it in its tracks? Hijacking a battleship?

Man, why are other strategy games all about fighting on the same grids? This is the kind of stuff the genre needs. Damn developers and their copy paste formulas :(

Now that I put enough hours into my PS3, I think I'm gonna buy Pikmin and Madworld when I get my paycheck tomorrow. I haven't tried Pikmin on Gamecube, so I'll have some fun with that. I also reccommend GTA:China Town Wars to any DS owners here. All the cool shit from the 2D and 3D games, plus this neat drug dealing system; a fun way to kill time and teach children the art of selling dope.

i finally got my hands on an r4 and i love jump ultimate stars but it angers me seeing it and knowing no smash bros is being made for the ds

Groovy, I've already got it.

returned dead space and a shit ton of other games and got gta4 AND fallout 3. oh lordy

Little Nemo the Dream Master on the most amazing console ever which I will not state because you jackasses should already know what it is.

intellivision right

WRONG

Bit Trip Beat for WiiWare. It's this amazing cross between Rez and Pong. Really hard, but really fun. Definitely worth checking out.

re5 is done, doing it again in co-op, but not online, in veteran mode. mercenary mode is so fucking hectic i love it

made it out of the vault in fallout 3, then in megaton killed the sheriff. later reloaded because it turns out that the people of megaton don't like when someone kills their sheriff because he just wants to wear his hat. otherwise, making my way to... can't remember the name, but killed my first super mutant (or brute, fuck i can't remember right now) and it was quite a challenge. i feel like this game presents itself as super complicated and doesn't really introduce you very well into all of it's open endedness, which at first turned me off, but now i think i pretty much understand everything (except my radiation reading or whatever the fuck that is in the top right)

oh, and my game got stuck when i went to take the GOAT so i had to read online that this is a fucking bug that still hasn't been fixed >:

edit: that that that that that that

I´ve been playing lots of Ninja gaiden sigma for the past couple of weeks. I beat it on hard yesterday, just started on Very hard, and goddamn, its fucking hard alright. I haven´t cleared the first stage yet because its so insane.

Counter Strike Source.

It's pretty bad, but all the high-strung veteran players make for a completely fantastic griefing environment.

Bigtimecow, i should be getting resident evil 5 in the mail soon, i really liked the co- op in the demo so im looking forward to this..

And counter-strike: source is really awesome for griefing, get a friend, tell him to go on the other team, kill everyone but yourselves and just party and wow they get pissed..

But i do really like all the modes css has.

Call of Duty: World ar War

new maps plus new zombie map! First DLC i ever bought. I wish I could've just bought the zombie map but the others aren't bad.

Chronicles of Riddick demo that just came out. Vin Diesel is serious about making games.

When is he not serious about his games.

ballin'. me and my friend dave are playing through again right now, but if you want me to join your game just hit me up!

Wheelman is awesome too. :eek

Oh fuck that Riddick demo, i dont understand why they fucked up the best part of the original game, melee combat.
Melee felt so good in that game, with left hand being left trigger and right hand being right trigger but now its just one trigger to attack, it doesnt have that same satisfying feel

Yeah, it lacks the smooth, natural-feeling controls of Killzone 2.

GTA 4. Damn near close to beating it finally.

I jumped back into Battlefield Heroes yesterday and it's got so much better than the last time I played it. I think it'll actually be a very popular game once it's released.

If it is ever released.

I bought Watchmen: The End Is Nigh, Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty, and Crash Bandicoot Warped yesterday off of the PSN. All badass. Watchmen was better than I thought, though it's still monotonous. I didn't hold that against it, though. It is a beat'um-up. It's actually very pretty.

MadWorld, de Blob, Viewtiful Joe, Okami.

All good in their own way.

Wiinis.

I found all 22 jokes :picklehat

The only thing I needed help with was getting the upper half of the rubber chicken and jesus christ, how the fuck was I supposed to find that?

Well I just got Gamemine which is a rental service and i am going to get quantum of solace in the mail, i really liked the game on my pc, mostly because i really like the new james bond movies and it's not just a crappy movie-game.

I heard it didnt sell so well

Started up Wind Waker again. It's been a few years since I played it.

It's actually better than I remember. I wasn't too crazy about it, but I'm kinda diggin' it now. Some of the scenes remind me a little of Mother 3.

GTA4: Lost and Damned.

I think they could at least have made some major upgrades to Liberty City that weren't story missions or like one or two more buildings you can go into. It's pretty much exactly the same as it was in 4; I even found a set of the same secret body armor at this one pier, and the only change to the radio is that some news bulletins were added about biker gang warfare. They might have even been there before, I dunno. Although I love Liberty Rock Radio and there are some great driving songs on it, so that's not really that bad of a deal. It makes sense, too, since Lost and Damned's timeline is apparently parallel to GTA4's.

I like the missions, I guess. My favorite part so far was where you and your bros have to follow the AOD members and pick them off their bikes with sawed off shotguns while cavorting through the streets at top speed because I kept pretending I was in the opening scene of Akira.

does it still have the annoying relationship simulator bullshit :(

Relationships were the end of GTA >:

NEEKO, CUZIN WHERE ARE DA BEEG AMEERICAN TEETEES

i never shot a friendly npc so much as i shot roman when i was playin that game

I'm not too far in, but your biker buddies will all give you guns and shit, and you can call in a free bike from one of them no matter where you are, and and and you never ever have to take them out anywhere, ever. I do like it a lot better than GTA4 already.


I always took Roman up in a helicopter then bailed into the river while he went down and exploded in the city. :(

I still suck really badly at drums on Rock Band. To my infinite embarassment, the worst I ever did was on a Ramones song (Teenage Lobotomy- 80% on easy). :(

the drums are fuckin hard though :( i'm sure i've done worse than 80% on many easy songs, i can't get the hang of the kickdrum

The pedal hurts my foot. If I play more than 10 songs, I get shinsplints. I've tried arranging it all sorts of ways and nothing seems to help.

I think the worst I ever did was 60% on easy, on some weird song I'd never heard before where the drums were just all over the fucking place. Usually I pick up on patterns pretty quickly but I couldn't even see the pattern on this one.

If I stick with easy I usually don't do worse than 90-95%. Usually.

Final Fantasy 1,2,10 & 12. Just finished 8&9, then I'll play 7. Lego Indy once in a while. Tetris on my mac twice a day at least.

Please don't play 12. :(

Hey guy, FFXII was my favorite :(

I personally thought all FF games after 3, or 6 or whatever you want to call it, sucked major ass. But then 10 came out and it was a pleasant surprise. I have never played 12.

Really?

terranigma - shit is super rad and pretty hard.

Certainly. The story was refreshing compared to the contrived shit found in FF's VII through X (well, excluding IX). The combat got rid of random encounters, meaning the franchise finally got with the times. And it all took place in Ivalice, but way more fleshed out.

The only other FF I've finished was the GBA remake of the original.

I hate it when people claim that 9 was the only good 3D Final Fantasy because it was just really bad

Boo ya! Illusion of Gaia is good too.

Maybe. But it was the least retarded game out of the PSX-era FFs.

Either way, I think the entire franchise is pretty crummy.

:rolleyes

We should argue about this in the "argue about videogames" thread :D

FF9 was the the one with the gunblades? Right? That was totally gay. Not just the gunblade things the whole game. I think I forced myself to play a good bit into it before I just couldnt take anymore. Or no... that was 8... 9 had the little monkey kid? I got about 10 minutes into that before saying forget it. Im not saying 10 was great but it was playable.

dude, wrong thread

i liked how at the end of 9 you ended up fighting metatron.

lol

Played some Little Big Planet last night with friend and sister. She's really bad at: platform jumping and driving but decent with guns. Tried out some really awesome japanese levels. I was really surprised that regular people put these levels together.

METATRON IS THE GODS RIGHT HAND MAN AND SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT EZEKIEL OR ISIAH WHICHEVER ONE WENT TO HEAVEN IN A FLAMING CHARIOT BECAME METATRON

SO AT THE END OF FF9 YOU ARE FIGHTING AN ARCH ANGEL AND POSSIBLY A BIBLICAL CHARACTER.
>:

In Shin Megami Tensei II you kill [spoiler]

what a bunch of smug videogame makers!

lol yhwh has pretty nice teeth. He looks like he had braces

But being blasphemous can be so entertaining.

It would have been nice if they built it up but you only find out about him n the last 5 mins of the game.

yea i know, that's what so fucking crazy about it. one second you're fighting that feline queer and the next metatron is all I WAS DesIGNED TO BRIN G THE WORLD BACK TO ZERO WHEn itS INHABItANtS R too smUG or something

He did appear like Alexander did when Alexandria almost got wiped out. I figured he would be the antithesis to Alexander in the game. What the hell was his name, Necron?

fELINE QUEER?

no, not Kujo. the end boss' name?

oh, metatron

MEGATRON

It almost felt like Metatron was from a different game and the editing team put the wrong end boss for the game.

Just downloaded SF II HD Remix for 360 and I can't put it down. I bought it on a whim not knowing that the graphics would be completely redone and I must say it was a great $12 spent.

I caved and got a DSi today along with Rhythm Heaven (my new flashcard is on its way).

I really like the handheld. Nice software, the cameras and mic are fun to mess with, and they give you 1000 DSi points to spend when you take the system online for the first time. Hell yea.

Oh, and the buttons are nice and clicky like on the original, but convex like on the Lite. I really like that :D

Enoch was taken before god and turned into Metatron and basically became gods go to guy. Or thats what they say...

Man, I am fuckin' n*ggas up with the Bio Rifle in UT III. I love it. Halfway charged, it's a one-hit kill and you have the option for splatter.

pokemon platinum, fallout 3, resident evil 5, mother 3


all together now:

slowly

Vanilla Oblivion on an Xbox.

Is it me or is this game getting fucking harder the more I level up?

Finally finished Persona 4. What a great game. Now on to...any of my 30 unfinished Ps2 games I guess...maybe another SMT-Game...Digital Devil Saga 1 maybe. Boring and flickering like shit. Or maybe the Fatal-Frame games, but those terrify me a lot somehow...hm.

Damn. You really muscled through that game :V

I beat all the main games in Rhythm Heaven. Now I'm working on getting medals to unlock the guitar lessons. I love that they added a second tone when you revisit the guitar later.

Probably my favorite music-based game ever. So much content to unlock.

Scarface: The World Is Yours....I'm 56% done with the game but it somehow fucked up and I lost all my furniture plus unique collectibles I had in my mansion :(

You think so? I thought around 75-80 hrs are really enough for one game :D

Yea, that's a little longer than it took me, but you beat it in less days than I did, I think :X

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee

YEA THATS HIM. SUPPOSEDLY ENOCH IS ALSO THE GUY WHO GOT TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN IN THE BURNING CHARIOT -- ISIAH OR EZEKIEL WHATEVA. IF YOU READ VALIS BY PHILLIP K DICK THIS WILL MAKE MORE SENSE :(
