So What Are YOU Playing?

[Diamicles]

Oblivion, Eternal Sonata, and Dynasty Warriors Gundam.

I'm surprised by Eternal Sonata, I've heard a lot of complaints about the battle system, but so far I'm enjoying it. Definitely more entertaining so far than Oblivion. DW: Gundam is sweet, combining one of my fav anime series with one of my fav game franchises. Can't go wrong with that.

[Yuri-G]

finished DDS... well, the first run of the first game, anyway. need to do a new game+, then convert my file over to DDS2, then play that once twice. definitely getting my money's worth with this series.

slowly plugging away on Devil Survivor. midway through Day 2 right now.

thinking about going through Super Mario Sunshine again after messing around on my endgame file the other day. I forgot how fucking fun it is just to mess around in that game. Miyamoto's team are masters of control and level design, even though the levels aren't quite as interesting as the ones in Mario 64.

Hello Gang,

I'm a War-Crack (yes I mean World of Warcraft) addict who hasn't played anything else in a very long time, however AION has really peeked my interest.

Any other WoW-addicts out there looking at switching to this new drug, I mean game?

I'm starting to play Dead Space. I had this on my PC for like 3 months and I finally got around to installing it and trying it out. My first thoughts are kind of negative to be honest.

The movement feels really sluggish and I don't like how slow the camera is if you're not aiming your weapon and most of all the combat is kind of dull. I just keep flailing my weapon like a school girl hoping to cut one of their limbs off, lol. I'm assuming it gets better as you progress but it did do a nice job of creeping me out.

[Roranora]

I gave Dead Space a few playthroughs for the first time about a week ago actually. The movement is definitely slow if you're not running or aiming, which was probably the only frustrating aspect of the game. On the 360, you're either holding LB to run or LT to aim, the entire game; it became very tiresome for my finger. I wish you could set the default movement to run, not walk; that alone would help tons, imo. And once ready for Impossible, you always want to be looking/moving quickly. I only walked when scavenging up my loot in clusters after a large wave.

But yeah, I still thought it a great game; nothing special in terms of story, but fun gameplay.. and I rarely play survival-horror games. It wasn't until at least 2/3 of the way through it the first time that the game finally stopped creeping me out or scaring me, and then I could begin to improve and take it to the enemies.

Trying out some Mega Man games I haven't played after watching the Speed Gamers marathon. So far almost done with Mega Man Battle Network.

well, I played on the C-AION, and so far I'm not liking it, probably b/c it's really hard to find english speakers/parties and it felt like too much of a grind.

I'm trying it out again once the NA open beta release though.

[Brill Weave]

Still playing WoW as I slowly try to bang out the last five levels and get my first 80. Also been playing a little Madden, Fallout 3, CoD 4, and Nazi Zombies when time permits. Might go pick up Batman this week.

[Kurp]

I'm about 18 hours into my first run of Mass Effect. I feel bad about not playing it sooner, because so far it's been great. This may be one of the games I end up beating on the hardest difficulty just because of how fun it will be to carry over mastered abilities to new games.

[Cydewinder]

Just beat Bioshock, I like it, but that final boss was way too easy, didn't really enjoy the victory. Picked up Batman today, I'm sure I'll enjoy that.

Yeah. I just used all my Grenade Launcher ammo I had saved up and just went to town on him, lol.

The one thing that also has been bugging me is how hard it is to accurately kill things using the melee swings. They feel too random and because of this I was constantly getting mauled or hit when they started to gang up on me. I tried Medium difficulty and I think I started to run out of med-kits after a little bit.

I'm playing it on the PC so the running issue isn't too bad, but a default running option would have been nice. I pretty much play this game like a pussy just hiding in a corner spamming the melee swing, lol. I'll still definitely beat this game regardless, I want to see if his wife turns out to be dead or an alien.

Good to hear, I'm up to:

5/1064 Pink Tail (adamant armor)
2/446 Blue Tail (shield)
1/112 Red Tail (sword), I'll farm the last one while I steal crystal rings on my 3rd playthrough

I also went ahead and got:
1/16 Mindflayer
1/58 Goblin
and Bomb while going through the story, farming Cockatrice now.

So just the 3rd playthrough stuff like ribbons/crystal rings/cursed rings basically, yay.

I was trying to look up my numbers last night and I honestly couldn't remember where the Bestiary was. I only play a few fights a day/week so I've been in the final dungeon for months now and I forgot all about the fat/mecha chocos.

I have 2 pink tails after 600+ flans. Its hard to say because I'd get 50 deep into a stack of sirens and just reload sometimes if I didn't get what I needed.

My yellow flan number was at 988 after farming rainbow pudding. I think that may be for 2 drops though.

Red Dragons are at 0/180+ (probably closer to 275 with resets)

[Yuri-G]

yeah, gotta take resets into account. I got one adamant armor and gave up. I'll try again someday when I'm bored at work.

I did end up starting a new game of Super Mario Sunshine the other day. shit is addictive. I wish they'd redo Mario 64 with these graphics though (or Galaxy, even better), because the level design is pretty boring. ooh, a hotel. ooh, a town. ooh, a beach. blah.

on Day 3 of Devil Survivor now, I'm starting to get the hang of things. aiming to recruit Haru ASAP. possibly even into the protagonist's bed, from the way she's talking...!

[Atreides]

stealing cursed rings from red dragons is seemingly worse than tail farming, since you can't autobattle them if you're attempting to steal. I gave up on FF4, after almost 1 month of playing I can safely say I don't fkn care about the 2 optional bosses lol.

beat shadow complex in like 2 days, now playing some mass effect because of the new DLC. Apparently all my party members are lvl60 and everyone (all 7 ppl) have spectre X gear, so there's not a lot for me to do besides achievements I guess, lol. I guess I'll go back to Chronicles of Riddick after that ;o

[Insanecyclone]

X-2 I've had it for a few years but never beat it on chapter 3 right now

[Scythiroth]

English Final Fantasy: Dissidia. I beat the Japanese one months ago, but one of my friends kept talking to me about it and made me want to replay it. =/ I needed a break from Pokemon Platinum anyways, I need to level too much and got bored. >.>

[Oravis]

X-2 I've had it for a few years but never beat it on chapter 3 right now

Same here. I've had it for years but never got into it. Just started it again a week ago. But I've been exploring instead of advancing the storyline.
