So What Are YOU Playing?

[_chuchu]

Mega Man X4

[Wintermute]

Dabbling in L4D again. Had the most ridiculous moment in No Mercy where the Tank punted Francis through a window and he wound up hanging off of a tree just down the street from the Safe-House.

Needless to say we had to wait a while inside the Safe-House for him to die seeing how none of us could rescue him.

Prototype, and this shit is amazing.

Tales of Destiny remake for PS2.

hehe

You want some final fantasy fun try this one out that I have been playing. This game has mobs and jobs from FFXI, even scholar.

Chocobo Dungeon on the WII

haven't played X4 in ages, although playing ZX lately makes me want to go back. it's so good.

currently playing Knights in the Nightmare, it's pretty good. definitely unique, I've never played a game that plays quite like this before. really steep learning curve, though.

playing Rogue Galaxy. enjoying it so far, although I think I need to change my default camera for battle to the more overhead option. and I hope that getting things to unlock skills never gets too grindy.

I think I might try to pick up SF4 a bit more and try to actually get half-decent with a character. it'd be fun to go to arcades whenever machines for it get common here.

started playing cross edge now that i finished up with 2 infamous playthroughs, entertaining so far

weren't you playing like... 7 other games just a few days ago? or is this in addition to those? lol, I would be the same way if I didn't force myself to play just 1 game at a time (and spend days deliberating on which to play). Even 2 games (1 console 1 handheld) at a time never really worked out well for me, but to each his own.

Also thanks for the rec. on Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Like I said I loved the first, and I've always heard how the 2nd is better than the 1st, but I never really realized just how much better the 2nd really is. I'm really loving the changes to the magic system they made, combined with the other changes it feels like there's a lot more control over your characters' growth as well as a crapload of content. The game just feels a heck of a lot more polished too, although the somewhat dated graphics of SH1 could be causing me to say that.

Also @ Beckwin, unfortunately a few of the Revelation Flow items only come from chests or low % drops from monsters Usually you get enough just killing the required number of monsters for the Battle Recorder, especially if you're only going to use 2-3 characters besides Jasper, but completing everyone's revelation flow will require at least a little grinding, unless you're willing to wait until the 2nd bonus dungeon or are very lucky.

Started playing Blue Dragon again finished Disc 2 and starting on the final disc. Finale parts of disc 2 boss fights was a little rough

[Eticket]

Started up MGS1 off of PSN. I figure I'll work my way through 3 and then go out and pickup 4.

Tales of Destiny remake for PS2.

Played Tales of Destiny 2? Kyle and Judas fucking own...

No ; ; I want to though. I don't know japanese, and I'm using a Wiki translation guide for it... there isn't one for 2, so I wouldn't know what I'm doing T_T There's a fan translation in the works though, so I may wait for that.

[Charismatic]

Yeah, I heard they were doing a fan-translation for Tales of Destiny Remake Directors Cut... you may want to hold off for that one too, probably would be a lot more enjoyable with the menus and skill/item names in English!


EDIT: Now with picture!

I swear to god, if Diablo II was crack, I would probably smoke it.

Update(s)
-Hot Key issue isn't too much of an issue (kept practicing)
-Beat the main story offline during problems with the net.
-Made a new meleemancer on Battle.net and abusing poison dagger against bosses or would be PKers. (at least until the nerf bat hits)
-Enjoying Bone Prison (makes enemy AI go batshit insane)

Anyone with meleemancer experience out there? I'm torn between Bone Spirit and Bone Javelin. My build is set up to spam poison dagger, but I want a magic attack to tackle tougher melee resistant mobs but stay efficient in the mana department.

[Charismatic]

I always went with bone spear... but idk, there were a few necros out there that made me wish I went with bone spirit.


I never used any points in poison skills though, not sure how much that's gonna hurt cuz my build was pretty much strapped for points with all the synergies

I was thinking spear since i don't spend a lot of time running, but I have poison explosion for crowd control. Spirit would be nice against dark rangers, but that's why I use bone prison. I have this feeling I'm going to wish I picked the opposite of whatever I stick with in the end. Teeth would be cool for a shotgun effect, but maintaining a level 20 bone armor is hurting my mana as is. Kind of wish there was a Mana version of life tap

My main tactic is to take out a few mobs, cast bone prison since it has such a huge priority to the AI and spam poison explosion to wipe everything out within seconds. I only put 1 point into poison dagger and tossed everything into the poison explosion for the bonuses so I can use it as my primary attack. It's pretty efficient and not to bad on points since everything is geared to having a low mana cost.

haha it's just in addition to the others... though I'm constantly rotating and rarely finish stuff. I did ditch a few games, Mega Man ZX is out for the moment, I didn't really like Black Sigil enough to keep plodding through it, and I haven't touched Soma Bringer in a week (though I will beat that one eventually). and I'll probably have to decide between Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy VIII, two grind-heavy perfect-game quests is too many at once. I might start up Xenogears again soon though, I've only beat it once and considering it's my favorite game of all-time that's kinda sad. I took it off the shelf and it's been sitting in front of my TV begging to be played for a while now...

yeah, I should probably be like you and just pick one >_> but like you said, then you end up deliberating forever on which one to play lol

glad you like Shadow Hearts: Covenant. it's really a fantastic RPG, one of my favorites. I so want to spoil things for you but will let you find out on your own. I'll just say that I was surprised that a game so original and lighthearted at times could carry such a heavy plot... very well-done.

[Metah]

Just beat Lock's Quest, unsure where to go next. Megaman Star Force 3 comes out in a week, but until then, I'm trying to pick between: Shining Wisdom, Okami, Killer7, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Warioland: Shake It!! and Nights Journey of Dreams. Damn I'm fucked, I'll never finish all this before school.
