So What Are YOU Playing?

[Julian]

HAVE YOU MARRIED ANYONE YET???!

And how are the DS versions? I remember starting out RF1 and wasn't really that into it <.<

[Kaisha]

Don't know how they compare, but RF1 on DS has been 'ok' so far, but I wish the inventory menu wasn't a clusterfuck of icons. All I could ask for is being able to read what my current ailments are (there are none, you have to refer to the manual to figure out wtf they are), and able to see how much gold I have without cycling through four tabs on the menu.

The game seems to lack direction, as well as explaining how to get particular items. For instance, I had one festival that required you to give your gals cookies. Well that's all fine and dandy, if only I knew how to get them ahead of time as all the shops are closed on holidays.

Is RF on the Wii never-ending, or is there a limited amount of years in it? I just feel like I've wasted two seasons in RF1 DS before I started getting to grips as to how to obtain items and upgrade my stuff to make farming less tedious. Still have yet to beat the first cave, but I've been focusing more on upgrading all my tools, seeding my farmland, and using the remainder of RF to level up. Currently lvl11 now, and pretty much two-shotting everything in the first cave with my current weapon. Perhaps I should aim to beat it to access the next one. That, or stop playing and just skip onto RF2 which may be vastly improved for all I know in terms of explaining things.

RF2 is supposed to be a big leap over RF1 in terms of gameplay, does RF1 even have an item box to hold extra shit in your house? RFF is totally different from both of them from what I've played, it's more 3D/better graphics so that makes it a tad easier to play, and the menus and such are easier to navigate. I will say that some of the high level dungeons in RFF stay pretty challenging until you're in your 80s or 90s level-wise, so you do end up feeling like there's a challenge right up until the end.

Also RFF has no set timeframe to beat anything, I didnt even touch the story until year 2, and once you beat the game you can continue playing although certain bosses get harder if you want to retry them for higher level synthesis materials. Supposedly RF2 has a "second generation" once you beat it that opens up different story and even different crops to grow.

If you don't like certain things about the interface or gameplay particulars about RF1 I'd definitely suggest at least tryign out RF2 or RFF to see if they've been fixed, chances are they have.

Just started playing Blazblue and damn I'm rusty.... Been damn near 6 months since the last time I played it(last thing I remember getting was score attack trophy). Last trophies I have to finish for Platinum are all online x_x

[Abandon]

playing Diablo 2: LoD with people on my ship. fucking right.

[Oravis]

Got a new pc and decided to try Mass Effect finally. Been having fun with it so far. Also been playing SSFIV but I'm not as hardcore as most SSFIV people here and constantly get my ass whooped online. And I've been playing Monster Hunter Tri. Having that second analog stick does wonders although I had gotten used to the claw lol

[Arnwulf]

Ditched inFamous for now and picked up Resonance of Fate. Very complicated battle system but it seems like a good game so far.

[Yuri-G]

29.99 At gamtstop.com and $10 credit, on 3D Dot Game Heroes

haha knew I should have fucking waited. oh well.

[Caiyuo]

Playing Monster Racers on NDS, lol. It's so retarded, but it's half-awesome too and I get to collect retarded little animals that run fast as shit. I have a fire-horse thing that's an imitation Ponyta, but it's turbo thing turns it into this giant fucking harbinger of death for 5 seconds while granting a speed boost. Dunno how much longer I can do this, though, race and story patterns repeated throughout and I'm obsessing over catching exotic shit.

[Dylon]

just got Just Cause 2 from gamefly and i'm having a blast with it. is it worth 40 bucks? i really wana platinum this and get a different game from gamefly if it's worth it

my last save is 50 hrs and 52% completion, i would say it is.

alright thanks lol, i have a question about it though, is there a way to know where government property is or do you have to search every corner, like a symbol on the map or something

[Kaisha]

What do you mean by government property, the supply kits for upgrading stuff? There's a wifi signal indicator in the top left of the screen that fills up when you're nearby a kit, and will flash when you're within range of it to point it out with an arrow.

Other stuff such as the 100 colelctibles per faction are shown on the map as a green dot.


Game is huge, and I'm glad they don't make you 100% it for Platinum, as that'd be near impossible as not everything is marked on the map or is part of 100%ing the little campuses.

FINALLY FREE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What should I work on first? :D

I'm thinking of maybe streaming again, and maybe doing something like, suiko1+2, maybe more, or something else, i dunno.

[Tobi]

Finally decided to just get Demon's Souls and it's actually not all that bad. I'm surprised at how many people still play this shit, lol.

Quick question though. Is there anything that can fuck you over from getting Plat? Sorta like how if you sold a certain accessory in FFXIII you'd have to start all over just to get it.

After I complained about little crystals, I went to whale island, and the whale gave me one for killing the squid (this just reminded me of that whale and squid in endless ocean dos), then I opened a door, got a little crystal, then I smashed a rock, and got another one :D then I left and saw that every single final tool upgrade requires a flower, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The, uh, I started growing one of the 120 day ones, dont remember the name, it's starting to reach the 2nd phase :D or well, 3rd I guess, seeds>little leaf>little larger one

edit: emery! i think

Minimum number of playthroughs needed for plat is 3 if you have a friend, 4 if doing alone. Basically, just don't consume souls you obtain from bosses as you need to exchange them instead for specific weapon upgrades and learning miracles/magic.

Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about doing a perfect first run, but instead focus more on that for your New Game+ run where the difficulty gets beefed up further.

So there's no trophy you can absolutely fuck yourself from getting? Unless it's the weapon Trophy?

Also, thanks. Alot of this shit all looked confusing at first, but I'm getting hang of it now.
