So What Are YOU Playing?

[Souj]

DS is all you need, that's a man's game.

Was waiting for PSN to get workinbg again so I could play Demon's Souls online, but now PSN is up but the NA DS servers are down... because they apparently shut off the servers when psn was down and still haven't turned them back on.
EU and JP servers are up, but only because they use a different company for their servers.

Elsword and GoW collection. I kinda just wanna play GoW3 instead now, but I might as well finish/plat these 2, that's if I feel like going through game twice, even though it doesn't take long to speed run... I been feeling lazy lately. Getting tired of GEB now, so might stop playing that soon.

Just started playing Heavy Rain. I like it so far, definitely a different gaming experience. Also playing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition when it's not crashing on me, which is always.

I just got/returned that from gamefly too. It wasn't for me, I haven't played GOW3 yet because quick time events are a real game-killer for me. I gave it an hour out of the expected ~7 hr gameplay, but the supposedly great story never got started.

I did the same with NFS hot pursuit. Reminded me of Burnout Paradise in good ways, but was overwhelmingly brought down broken AI (they are invincible, break all speed barriers to catch up to you/pass you, then at exactly the 1 mile remaining marker they turn to easy mode so you can win).

I just finished Mass Effect 2 on ps3. Great game (counts as rpg i think). Also has 3/4 of the dlc included on the ps3 disc.

Also just got uncharted 2 GOY with a bunch of dlc on disc for $18 gold box amazon deal, high hopes for that one.

Lastly, got the djHero 2 bundle for $26 on amazon. Fun game that has score-less game mode that makes it a more relaxing experience. The problem with the game is that it has a music selection that jumps from rap>hip-hop>pop>techno, at least one of those are hated by the people that like the other and not everyone likes any of them. It is a game that is about enjoying the song played more than the guitar games are.

But I was reluctant to dump £300 on a PS3

That's the move bundle I hope, still more than U.S. prices>>

I just finished Mass Effect 2 on ps3.

Is it just me, or was your heart pumping the entire last-mission in ME2? I thought it was so well done, cinematically. Warning --> spoiler re: ending

Spoiler: show

did you manage to save your entire team?

I moved on to DA2. It's a healthy medium between what I love in the fantasy genre and gameplay/dialogue from Bioware. Although, the combat system is pretty terrible =/
Still liking the game a lot - I'm about 17 hours in.

It kind of pissed me off, I didn't know if there were strategies to avoid it or if it was random. I would definitely have played through again if it wasn't a gamefly rental (which I plan to cancel before my next month starts).

Spoiler: show

During the ending cinematics, it cut to one of my team getting crushed by rubble... at least it wasn't my beau jack^^

The dragon age games are too much mid-evil fantasy rpg for me, I do mmo's for similar but less LoTR style for that.

[Foras]

Finally picked up Dead Space 1 and holy shit I love this game. Reminds me of a blend of Gears of War and Resident Evil. So badass how they integrated the HUD right onto the character gear (HP, Force energy) so they don't clutter up the screen. Looking forward to 2 and 3 as well.

JACK? You're a JACK supporter!? Gtfo...

Spoiler: show

I stayed true to Ashley. And yea, actually, I lost Jack due to rubble. Initially, I lost Mordin too because I had him manning the first job, but then I read that you can save him with different configurations. Everyone else survived. Apparently, there's a way that NO ONE can survive -- check out the youtube vids, pretty baller.

lol it was more like, I kept talking to crew and then one time when I went to jack I opened with "we need to talk about our relationship." She's badass so I went with it^^

Playing FF3 and WC 2011 mostly and trying to finish up the last bit of challenge missions and crafting weapons for GEB also trying to finish up 100%ing labyrinth mode in dissidia 012. Probably will pick up dead or alive when it comes out next week along with eternal sonata if i manage to find a copy and try out inFAMOUS when PSN gets it for free to see if it'll make me want to buy the 2nd one

[Kaisha]

Picked up Freelancer, Starfox Adventures, and Prince o Persia Trilogy the other day.

Prince of Persia was a lazy port as expected, I don't think they touched up anything in the port other than dumbing down the bloom effect, which I'm actually thankful for since that being a 'cool' effect has long since passed. I forgot how detailed the game's textures were though, I had to Google some PC screenshots to confirm if they were part of the original game, which they apparently were. Gameplay still enjoyable aside from the simple combat in the first entry, definitely going to go through all three and platinum them as it gives me an excuse to bother 100%ing them this time around.

Starfox Adventures just weirds me out. Game is rated T, yet parts of it were designed as if they were originally going for an E rating or something and it just feels wrong at times, especially in the tutorial phase of the game. I have to say though, I wonder what voodoo Rare worked into it as it has visual eye-candy I've still yet to see in most Wii games. Fur shaders? Dynamic light casting? Grass? Super-smooth framerate with all of that?


Also been playing some Witcher 1. Couple hours into my save now, really enjoying the game now that most of the tutorial crap is out of the way. Didn't like the combat at first, but I've grown to like it as the battles are pretty quick and painless as long as I dodge and time my clicks. Quite digging the high overhead view, hope that's in Witcher 2 as the third-person cam in this one makes me motion sick for some reason. Also looks fucking good for a game from 2007, probably going to have to upgrade my PC for the next version.....




Oh, and Freespace? Forgot my drive is picky with CDs, need to replace that damn thing.

[Yuri-G]

god damnit how the fuck did I forget to save after taking out all the invisible nightkin in the Repconn Testing Area in Fallout NV? FUCK ME

also lost my save for Bahamut Lagoon when my laptop died

this is not a good week for gaming

still plugging away though. could never get into NV before, but something clicked this time. I think it helps to play the game a bit before starting your "real" character, so you have an idea of what skills you want to invest in. and I find NV to be a lot stricter than Fallout 3 that way; you have to be a lot more intelligent about how you invest skill points.

[Charismatic]

Bahamut Lagoon save lost? Damn... how far were you?

[Hiryo]

Now that the PSN is back up, i've been playing a little MVC3 and I went back to Mirror's Edge again. Following Shojin's ghosts for the time trials, thanks bro.

Other than that, YGO WC 2011 for breakfast, bedtime, and while I drive.

[Dryr]

Just finished mass effect 1 on pc. Wow, me2 on ps3 default story has you making a lot of bad choices in 1. Need to buy me2 on pc for new storyline from 1... And, damn gotta play over to try other classes, ME3 coming out the seires is a single player mmo...

it was 50% off on steam like, last week too; ;

[Brimah]

I have been playing Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. Finished the campaign the day before portal 2, then PSN went down so finally getting to play online. Won 10 games, lost once... only issue is that everytime I log in and out, it resets my EXP and win/loss record... Capy said they would fix it but guess haven't yet.

wish I owned an Action Replay. unlocking packs is a slow and painful process. At least I have a semblance of a useable deck now. I've got an oldschool 6sam (as in no legendaries) with a few other random cards to make up for other missing cards. and a gimpy, but able zombie deck.

[Yuri-G]

Bahamut Lagoon save lost? Damn... how far were you?

chapter 9, but I did some grinding and had gotten multiple stats on each dragon to 100.

I'll probably start over at some point (now with a much better idea of the most efficient way to spend gold/upgrade dragons) but yeah, that sucks.

[Julian]

I remember playing and enjoying bahamut lagoon a long ass time ago, but i dont remember anything at all about the game D: maybe i'll replay it soon

[Xerlic]

I just finished Ghost Trick which was really awesome. My DS games backlog is finally clear, so I opened the PSP that I received as a gift a few weeks ago and downloaded Lunar and FFIV.
