So What Are YOU Playing?

[Antithesis]

For the PS2, there's also Tales of Legendia(lol.)

If you haven't played Tales of the Abyss, I recommend it. It was my favorite 'Tales of' till Tales of Graces came out.

Starting playing FFXII again from scratch after playing it at release, never beating it, and putting it down until now.

Also playing 13 made me cringe for the ability to move around during battle. Well enough of that, any quick tips or anything that I should keep in mind (gambits, valuable quests, weapons, etc)?

Be careful which chests you open

[Kyo]

Question for those who have platinumed Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in time, if I use the extra content like big weapons, skins or different weapons will I still get credit for the game+ trophy?

[Arnwulf]

I finally finished up FFXIII, loved it, now I'm on to Mass Effect 2. Trying to decide what to play next out of the billions of games I have in my backlog after Mass Effect 2. Probably going to go with Resonance of Fate.

[Hyan]

Demon's Souls... it's kicking my ass, and I love it.

Thanks, I'll definitely check out Abyss. Is Graces not translated? I only see release dates on wikipedia for JP and EU.

You need to beat Beyond Good & Evil before I KEEL YOU.

also I need to get my PS2 modded or something, getting tired of hunting down rare ps2 survival horror games

also I realized that since October, I've either beaten/mostly beaten (or played enough to know I won't ever beat them) well over 30 third-party wii games, lol. On top of all the other stuff I've gone through in the past year I feel like a gaming machine

edit: list as follows, for fun:

Spoiler: show

Beaten, liked for the most part:
Boy and His Blob
Cursed Mountain
Dead Space: Extraction
de Blob
Deadly Creatures

Fragile Dreams
Little King's Story
Elebits
Kororinpa
Munchables
RE4: Wii Edition
Rune Factory Frontier
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Secret Files Tunguska
Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis
Zack & Wiki

LostWinds

Started but have yet to finish:
DQ Swords, Disaster: Day of Crisis, The Calling, The Conduit, Red Steel 2, Madworld, NiGHTS, RE: Darkside Chronicles, RE: Umbrella Chronicles, House of the Dead Overkill, FFCC My Life as King, Max and the Magic Marker, Dewy's Adventure, Mushroom Men

Will never play again because holy fuck so terrible:
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga
Ju-on: The Grudge

And I have at least 10 more games that I haven't even tried yet lol. Most of the games in the first list were actually pretty good, imo. Kyo doesn't think I should make a big third party wii recommendation roundup thread out of fear of me being ridiculed, but you CAN'T DENY OUR LOVE!!! Modding my wii was the greatest shit I could have ever done.

edit edit: still to play

Spoiler: show

Animal Crossing, LostWinds2, FFCC My Life as Darklord, Escape from Bug Island (lol), Endless Ocean 2, Indiana Jones & The Staff of King, Tales of Monkey Island, Monster Hunter Tri, No More Heroes, Obscure 2, Opoona, probably missing some more stuff on my HDD... and Sin & Punishment 2, Arc Rise Fantasia when they come out.

You are a gaming machine, this is not up for debate. ALSO, playing PS2 games illegitimately is shocking simple with Free McBoot. psx-scene even has a forum for free memory card installs if you pay shipping both ways to the installers. I ended up just buying one off of a guy for $15 since a new memory card was more than that. I'm even considering breaking out my fatty PS2 and finding a network adapter since playing games via ethernet shouldn't require that the laser is at all functional lol.

I actually nabbed BG&E because a few here, you included, have talked it up and I'd never really heard of it before then. Not super thrilled with it initially, but I'm going to give it a solid shot.

[Yuri-G]

hey

hey atreides

hey man

I still haven't beaten BG&E yet, even though I love the game and the atmosphere and think it has a fantastic story and wonderful gameplay

I seriously don't know why, but I just cannot bring myself to stick with it

what do you think about that?

[Yuri-G]

and no, Graces is not translated

I don't know what language the EU version is though. didn't even know they had one.

[Atreides]

hey

what do you think about that?

why do you cut me so deep

and isn't the problem that you can't finish games in general, not just BG&E?

[Yuri-G]

haha well yeah that's true. I have so many endgame saves on games I haven't finished it's ridiculous.

[Caiyuo]

And here I thought something was severely wrong with me because of that. What sucks is that I go so long in between plays that I end up just starting from scratch and further delay ever finishing. :u

[Julian]

I'm on a mission to play all the gems hidden amongst the piles of shovelware :D

nope I do it all the time. and I don't even pick the games up because like you said, you end up having to start over and screw that noise.

it happens a lot with RPGs when I've figured out the plot or if someone spoiled the ending for me... it's like, why bother?

once you get past the first few stages where they kinda hold your hand to solve puzzles, game is fucking awesome. Boss fights are really frustrating (since if you get hit once, you die) but the game is such a superb update of the NES original in almost every regard. Although the NES version was really just kinda innovative and not actually good, so I don't know if that's saying much lol.

after I got all the way to Pharos in FF12 before having to restart from waiting so long to finish that I forgot the story, I promised myself I'd try not to let that happen anymore. Now I just power through everything, but for long RPGs I end up fucking hating the game by the end lol

Yeah, it's almost always RPGs for me and I blame the giant whore that is XI for this. I had to totally reinvent any desire in console RPGs after a fucking MMO came into the picture for 3 or so years. I rarely wanted to play them, plus I built up a giant collection of games I was still interested in all the while, so I have this fucking mountain of shit to work through now lol.

Oddly I'm the same way with TV series/anime. Unless it's something I'm going to run through in a few days, I hardly ever finish them.

I've had to adopt a policy like Atreides' and just power through shit if I have any hope to finish. It helps if friends are playing so we can have an ongoing discussion, but for a lot of new games that doesn't pan out because I usually wait until there's a sale lol.

wat

I just thought what you said is cute and the sig is cute and made me want to hug you like in your sig :<

[dejet]

>.> So I need to ask what I should play next, I have a large amount of demon souls left, all of Dragon age left and have yet to play ME2 and just for the hell of it RE5.

What you think should be my next game?

[Kyo]

Mass Effect 2, then go back to Demon Souls.

I was on season 4 of house, was obsessed, now I haven't watched it in months lol. but to be fair that's because the new staff can't hold a candle to the original team.

I don't know how Atreides does it. I bought a stack of cheap games with my PS3 (good ones too, like SCIV and Disgaea 3 and Ninja Gaiden) and haven't played more than an hour of most of them. it's all this having a full-time white-collar job crap, it cuts into my gaming time so bad. I miss being a kid and playing Mario 3 all day long during summer vacation while my dad yelled at me to go play outside.
