I was being facetious, but I know there are some that are real games. I still have to play Eien no Aselia, Tears to Tiara and Utawarerumono sometime.Quote:

In that order.
What didn't you like about Eien no Aselia?Quote:

There's less strategy involved than either of the other games listed (which is weird as you'd think the strategy game would outpace the tactical ones) and the plot really didn't deliver on anything the premise tried to set up.Quote:

It's a bad story tied to a fairly simple strategy game where you just throw your mages at every problem.
Aw crap. I was hoping it was a matter of personal preference against strategy games or something. That sounds like an objective criticism. And that was one of the first Japanese games recommended to me too.
Oh well, it's not like I don't have another 200 gigs worth of Japanese games to get through. Just don't tell me First Queen or Black Matrix suck!
Currently playing (failing) DJ MAX Technika Tune. I'm so bad at it but I like the game so much.
Mafia II wanted poster hunting, 31/159
The Walking Dead episode 1 finished, 4 to go!
Another two :platinum: trophies to the collection when done. :nerd:
I've had Wild Arms 2nd Ignition for 11 years now, so I figure it's old enough for me to finally get into it.
Oh jeez, I sound like GoB now! :wacko:
:gob: <--- picture of Chris Hansen (seriously Admins, c'mon)
What sucks is I put it off because a roommate played it and ruined some twists for me. . . nine years later I still remember them. >:
Good game though, and the retro RPGness is really scratching an everpresent itch.
Who is chris hansen?

Wild Arms 2 is one of my fav PSX Classics (my fav wild arms out of them all)Quote:

And if we played a fighting game, you actually would rape me! I suck terribly because it's one of the genres I usually avoid. I revisit Motal Kombat or Battle Arena Toshinden once in a while, and I did a couple matches of Virtua Fighter the other week, but they just get too repetive for me to stick with it.
--my favorite fighter is actually Valkyrie Fight Tag. Am I hardcore or what?
:limp:
While I never finished them back in the day, I was quite a fan of Wild Arms 1 and 2.Quote:

I had started to play the first Final Fantasy game a few weeks ago, planning to play the numbered Final Fantasy games I haven't beaten yet in chronologic order, but a tremendous urge to play and beat Final Fantasy IX first took over me. I couldn't resist it. :wacko:
State of Decay w/ Breakdown DLC, XCOM: Enemy Within and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria on the side, all on PC.
Started up Ys Memories of Celceta on Vita last night.
Very good game so far - it looks like total shit graphically (it looks like an early PSP game), but whatever - the gameplay is great and there seems to be a ton of stuff to do.... and it's Ys.... these games don't come around too often :wacko:
Dota..but I'm considering go for a new one
I just try to choose one from games list on ---------
anyone played before and any suggestion for me?
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Plus
GDI deck cost, at least the event help is good almost everyone can kill it.
Been playing A Link Between Worlds. Holy shit, is it good.
Also been playing Knack. It's the worst game that I've ever been unable to stop playing. Well, it aint all that bad, really, but it's not particularly great either. Totally generic launch-fodder for sure.
I'm regretting not playing Wild Arms 2 in Japanese. The localization, or rather lack thereof, is really starting to get to me. Most of it seems fine; average caliber, but when they start churning out ridiculously awkward conversations with nigh nonsensical responses, and a penchant for generally poor vocabulary choices in translation, it turns my stomach.
Final Fight Streetwise. I didn't know what to expect since all I see for this game is hate for its story and atmosphere, I can safely say that the gameplay is really enjoyable, knocking down goons is a blast. However so far the game seems a tad painful in progression and it feels like they try to do a lot of things to pad the game out longer than it needs to be. I hope the game doesn't fall off late as I'm enjoying it so far. Also yeah the story is garbage.
Need for speed most wanted.
Started playing Gravity Rush (Vita) earlier today. Interesting game so far. Not entirely sure what to think of it at the moment.
I'm playing Gears of War. In 600 x450. :lol
My PC's a single core with integrated graphics, so I just use the microwave for games. Looks like PS2, so no complaints.
The game's sheer machoness is drastically increasing the size of my testicles, however. Every time I kill something I want to crush a beer can on my skull. By the time I see the credits I'll be wearing a wife beater and talking about transmissions.

Maybe I can run it. :wacko:Quote:

It looks better than Last Remnant did too. I had to play that in a tiny window zoomed in with the magnifier application. :D It was practically on par with a PS1 game. --the things one will stoop to out of desperation!
I was fine with the graphics until seeing some HD Youtube vids. Then I felt like a complete tool.
I've been on the fence about playting The Witcher for two years now, becaue I CAN play it, but it looks so good in higher resolutions (with heavy lag) that I'd rather wait 'til I have a decent PC. (watching a character's breasts jiggle and sway in 1360x768 and then sit there like cardboard in 800x600 was really discouraging)
I would recommend waiting for a better PC and playing 2.Quote:

The 2nd one, IMO, just blew the first out of the water.
This is coming from a PC gamer who played it on a console, so, yeah. :wacko:
I have 2, and I 'm more eager to play it than the original, but I'll probably be playing that on a 360 whenever I get around to buying one. I'd play them sequentially either way, but when I do upgrade my PC it'll just be to something like my last roommate hadQuote:

That would be a while anyway, because every friggin' time my impoverished ass saves enough for a new PC, I wind up buying something else instead. :mad: Damn priorities.
I am familiar with this, I used to play Witcher 2 on 1280x720 just to be able to run it decently on my old 8800GT. After my upgrade I could crank it up to 1920x1080 and nearly jizzed in my pants. :wacko:Quote:

Tch. Stop bragging, ya bastard! :PQuote:

Currently playing Bioshock: Infinite, getting close to beating it.
Kid Chameleon for Sega Genesis (using an emulator) Sure is a long game, considering there was no save system, not even a password system in it. It has over 100 levels with multiple paths. Thankfully, emulators allow for save states. It takes several hours to beat normally. One of the most non-linear 2D platformers of it's era. Easily in my Genesis top 10.
Call of Duty: Ghosts campaign mode on Veteran (PS4)
It's pretty clear Wild Arms 2 had at least two translators, because almost half way through the game, the dialogue got less cringy-inducing. There were several cut scenes in a row that acutally made perfect sense, and there were even English colloquialisms used effectively. So I thought, "maybe I can actually start to enjoy the game without this feeling of dread for the next piece of dialogue now."Quote:

Playing Space Hulk (PC) and also have been playing a fair amount of Spelunky on Vita.
I think Space Hulk is great - if you're a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe and like turn based games then this one is perfect for you. I actually own the original Space Hulk board game along with the Deathwing expansion, and have enjoyed it over the years. This PC version is a perfect recreation of the board game, and I believe it uses a revised rule set. My board game is like version 1.0 and a few things have changed since then :wacko:
Spelunky is pure horror, in a good way. Game is balls hard, but very addicting and is best played in about 15 to 20 minute bursts (before you toss the Vita or a controller). It's definitely fun, but brutal at the same time.
FC3 Blood Dragon. Lulzy tutorials all over the place. :wacko: I could do without the hostage rescue bits though, forced stealth is not my thing.
And I'm tremendously impressed with the soundtrack, it sounds so genuinely 80s. They really nailed it. I could pretty much instantly make out The Thing and Terminator 2 in there, probably bits of Commando and Blade Runner as well.
That game is loaded with 80's references, from music to everything else. I'm sure you know Michael Biehn in the main character, who was Reese in Terminator.Quote:
