So What Are YOU Playing?

[Atreides]

I beat Fatal Frame 3 (in case anyone was wondering I'd rank them 2 > 4 > 3) and Soulcaster II, now working on 3 games:

-Aphelion Episode 2. If you have 3 dollars in Microsoft points and you like RPGs you should get this, or get the first if you haven't played it. The first was hands-down my favorite xbox indie of all last year and the sequel seems to have fixed all the little problems I had with it.

-Folklore. Currently done with Chapter 2 with both Keats and Ellen. This game is boring for sure, but I'm trying to rush through it while I still have enough pot to make it interesting lol

-Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. About to start this soon, still installing patches and mods to update it. My new PC can run it really well, it looks amazing (a lot better than the xbox version) and I still have some texture packs to update.

I think that's it. I've kinda had a hankering to finally play through Beyond Oasis for genesis but I doubt I'll get to it soon lol

Front Mission Evolved and Nier.

First thing I hear when I put Nier in is Laura Bailey yelling at the screen. This is gonna be awesome.

So... have you played FME yet?
If so, tell me I'm not the only one disappointed that the main dude isn't banging the chesty nerd.

Amy? Jesus christ she has "fuck me fuck me fuck me" written all over her compared to Adela.

[Charismatic]

Yep, Amy... I was so surprised that she didn't turn out to be the LI.

Here's a question:
Dragon Age Origin; What level should I be to attempt the Grand Dragon fight in that ice castle area where the sacred ashes are? I'm 13 right now, and I feel I might be able to beat him now if I try enough times and get a good strategy down, but I don't know if it starts doing crazy things once its health starts going down. And also; is there a Grand Dragon somewhere in the Circle of Mages tower? ran into a bunch of drakes, but didn't see anywhere that it could possibly be.

Back to Mass Effect 1 for me, been slowly playing golden sun, I never play it at home, only when I'm outside or on the train sometimes, gonna get back into GT5 so I can get a X1

[Arnwulf]

Done with God of War 3, now kinda stuck in game limbo until after Christmas. Currently trying to complete my second run through of White Knight Chronicles in order to get to some more online grinding. Also finally working through Bioshock, just playing it on easy mode to get through it.

Been playing Gran Turismo 5. Put that down for a bit and picked up FFXIII again. Working on the last few missions and then farming for the treasure hunter trophy.

[Doombear]

Rented Forza 3. As odd as it is going to sound, I only rented it because I was planning on designing some car 'skins' for my friend who owns it. Boredome in gaming drives me to some silly rentals. Anyway, love the game so far. Weaning myself off of the 'assisted' settings, it has been a while since I played a driving sim. Love the layout, the cleanliness of the HUD and general display in the menus.

Excited to rent GT5 and plan on looking for Forza 3 and for Lost Planet 2 used.

Picked up James Cameron's Avatar: The Game two days ago. For some fucking reason it's taken priority all over my game time even though it's just a stupid movie tie-in game.

I guess I just enjoy the game's setting, and blowing the shit out of flora and giant blue cats. At least the game looks fucking good as far as movie games go, I only wish the script/voice acting wasn't so bad.

I've added it to my 'to platinum' list at any rate since it's easy to get with a little online boosting. Just hope the Na'vi (cat) side of the game isn't bad, I wasn't too fond of the melee attacks when you're forced to go through a section in your avatar near the start. Gimmy my guns!

[Corrderio]

Gave DKC returns and Kirby's Epic Yarn a shot. DKC does remind me of the SNES games, however Kirby's Epic Yarn hasn't wowed me yet other then the creative approach to it.

[Atreides]

FINALLY beat Folklore, fuck that game was boring. Fun, but excruciatingly repetitive. Also beat World of Kelfings, which was pretty great although I think I liked the first better for some reason.

Now on to Hydrophobia, the patch really fixed this game imo.

Dunno what to play next, probably morrowind

[Souj]

Decided I was going to try to platinum Dragon Age. I think I made a mistake lol
Almost at the end of my 1st playthrough, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get to level 20. If I do get to 20, I'll still have 2 more playthroughs (unless I buy dlc).
And I wont get any of the romance trophies this playthrough... Lelaina at 100% love, but she never gave me her quest, so I cant get her to sleep with me, and I did Morrigan's quest, but she's at 75% love and she still wont either.

[shukudai]

Suprised it doesn't have it's own thread, and giving up gamer cred here maybe, but i've been playing Infinity Blade on the iPhone quiet a bit. The game is really quiet fun, addictive, and actuall plays fairly well, which is suprising for an iphone game, it really strikes me as "Wait, this would actually make a really great motion control game... What's it doing on the iphone?"

Finished Fallout NV recently and will never turn that game on again. Crashed on me a total of 19 times. If I hadn't been seriously addicted to it I'd have stopped ages ago. Also played and beat deathspank which was surprisingly more fun than I thought it would be.
Now I'm continuing where I left off on Crimson Gem Saga and I remember why I stopped playing. Chapter 4 is extremely shitty. The difficulty of enemies spiking up that high and then making it so you have to grind like 20 hours to be able to buy all the new weapons and armor is just totally retarded. I was really enjoying the game till it got to this point.

[Charismatic]

You really don't need to buy them, I just ignored buying new weaponry and spammed my stongest techs since there's an overabundance of MP pot drops in the game.
...only really matters if you've got OCD or something.

[Oravis]

That is what I've been doing but either way it has been getting boring. I mean it was fun at first but like you said before... 80% of that skill tree is useless and I have everything worth using already. I still plan on beating it since I think I'm close to the end.

[Charismatic]

By the way, I do believe that in the last chapter there's various "ultimate weapons" that can be found through various means... I can't remember enough to really tell you more than that but if you farm up a ton to buy them, you'll soon regret it.
One of the characters' best weapon is bought though, unfortunately I can't remember whose.

[Oravis]

Still good to know though. Thanks. I've been building up Acelora so as long as I have her best weapon I think I'll be good lol

[Charismatic]

Yeah, she's awesome.
Acelora and Gelts were dishing out the pain for me (and curiously, there seems to be a bug with them, or maybe it's intentional... their strong AoE moves seem to grant more xp after fights I know they get the whole "MvP" bonus kinda thing but it seemed like more than that).

In the end, I'd say my favorite party was Killian/Spinel/Lahduk/Acelora, at least for bosses anyway. Gelts and Henson are pretty decent too but Lahduk and Spinel are pretty damned good for focusing on single targets which made them pretty much godly for boss fights, especially if you had the right element on their weapon.
