What are you playing right now #2

.hack//infection

I finished the //sign anime, so now I'm moving onto the set of four games for the PS2. I'm having a lot of fun in //infection so far.

Homefront. I really should finish Enslaved though since I'm only a few chapters from the end. :-/

So as I've mentioned in Retro I'm playing in New Vegas. Pretty okay so far, though it'd much more enjoyable if the engine wasn't a broken piece of shit. :wacko:

For some reason my framerate suffers when there are a bigger number of NPCs on the screen. And occasional stuttering when entering VATS or when the game loads distant landscape. Which might be understandable if my PC wasn't good enough for the game, but that's not the case. The original game ran just fine. If anyone has a solution, feel free to PM me, since I've spent an hour trying various fixes I've found online with minimal results. :wacko:

Persona 3 portable!

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

Now playing Heroes V for PC.

Cthulhu saves the world.

Persona 3 FES

Too much busy work, not enough monster fighting. Especially with this stupid fatigue system.

Doom 1

Never played it as a kid, so happy that DosBox exists :REALcool:

FEAR 3 (PS3)

Really enjoying it so far, although I'm only on chapter 3 since I had 2 other games to finish before I could get properly underway with this.

I like the scoring system, kinda reminds me of Bulletstorm.

Burnout Paradise for PS3. :D

Anyone wanna race with me or something? Could use some online trophies.

Joshypoohbear is my PS3 Name. :D

Touhou Shinreibyou: Ten Desires

Dynasty Warriors 7
Tekken 6
Medal Of Honour
L.A Noire
GTA IV
Alan Wake
I jump between games alot...

Playing Dragon Age II.

Right now my gamer brain is in "Capcom" mode, so I'm playing Moero Justice Gakuen! (^__^)

I've been playing a little Doom as well. TNT is my favorite, next to Ultimate Doom. You should look into skulltag, or Zdoom if you haven't.. Works well for online multiplayer mayhem. That, and many fantastic wads that have been made.

I recently started playing Batman: Arkham Asylum on OnLive. Is there really nothing more to this game than watching cutscenes and pressing X to beat people up?

I sincerely hope so.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 1 and 2 on Gameboy Advance.

Innovative game most certainly but the quest to make 10 Iron Sabers at the start of the SN-SCS 1 can take up to 10 hours to complete depending on how lucky you are at getting the right items to trade for materials... It's really really bogus. But otherwise I really enjoy the game...

Also playing Avalon on the iPhone, a game released by iFree that came out the week before last. Pretty decent game considering their other two games are the exact same...

Whinge whinge bitch moan.

I think Sprung was a woman in a past life. :P

In other news, I'm playing Shadows of the Damned. And my God is it strange. I can definitely tell that someone behind Killer 7 was involved with this game. :dread:

:lol

I know you finished the game, so I was hoping for some good news on the button masher that is Batman: AA.

I guess I'll just keep pressing X.

I recall a lot of pressing [] and /\, actually. No X bashing. Silly OnLive.

But yes, you run around and explore the Asylum/Island, then you're fighting bitches. It is for the most part a brawler.

Are you expecting Batman to pull out a gun and start shooting people? Or a sword and start dismembering people?

:S

That's a good question. I have never played a Batman game before this one, so I really don't know what I was expecting. Had it not been $5 and had such a high Metascore, I wouldn't be playing this one either :lol

It was also my first Batman game, but to be fair a lot of hand to hand combat should be expected of any Batman game.

In other news, bring on Arkham City!!

You buy Arkham City and you get a free OnLive MicroConsole :P
(UK OnLive Launch in September...hint hint)

It's roughly $40 on OnLive too...cheaper than the discs.

And? I'll be borrowing it off my uncle when he's done with it for the 360. :wacko:

No disc, no sale. :wacko:

NO, I haven't played anything properly for like 3 days.

Might do alittle bit tonight but I think I'm cooking for someone so maybe not.

Hm, right now, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, Star Ocean: Second Evolution, Da Capo II, and Sharin no Kuni: Himawari no Shōjo.

I like dating sims.

Playing the remake of quest for glory 2. Not bad at all.

I should continue Gares lp of 4 once I get there :P

Feel free to do it if you want. :wacko: I've been toying with the idea of continuing my LP of it, but I always put it off/get distracted. So I doubt I'll ever get around to it.

Anyway, I'm roughly 20 hours into New Vegas and I'm liking it. So far I'm pleased with Obsidian, seems like they've done a decent job of correcting some of Bethesda's lore rape in FO3. I love how the Brotherhood of Steel is portrayed properly this time, and they act the way they should (FO1), and not they way they did in FO3. Nostalgic nerdgasms were had.

But it wasn't lore rape. They specifically said in-game that Lyons wasn't especially liked by the higher ups because he believed in the average guy. Not that it mattered, since the BoS wasn't very deeply entrenched on the east coast (they're more of a west coast thing). The ones that do pop up on the east coast function more like the BoS did in 2 or Tactics. :wacko:

Just because you don't pay attention doesn't make it bad. :wacko:

I know it's explained. Kind of. I still found it rather weird seeing a group that, in the first game, sent me on a hopeless suicide mission for the lulz portrayed like heroes of the wasteland. I still have a feeling you're giving Bethesda way too much credit, though. :wacko: This is the same company that brought us gems such as "sorry my companion, but no" (yes, I know it was fixed later. It was still fucking retarded.) and the "[Intelligence]So you fight the good fight with your voice", among others.

I personally think it's clear as day that they put shit in their games because "lololol it's cool and stuff" without giving it any deeper thought, but let's agree to disagree and leave it at that. :wacko:

It's been centuries since FO1. Things change. The ultimate goal of the brotherhood is saving humanity. They just happened to subscribe to some pretty radical beliefs way back. And, again, Fallout Tactics, the only east coast BoS chapter as far as some people are concerned, is even more "heroic" than this one. The BoS moved forward a lot since the early days. At least partially because of the vault dweller. You know shit's changed when there's mutants and ghouls serving with the brotherhood. Also, keep playing Vegas. They make even more of a point that "things changed". The forefathers of this BoS weren't anything like the current crop.

I consider those quotes a step up from fart jokes, personally. So yeah. :wacko:

And it's not "kinda" explained. It's heavily apparent. What did you think that whole BoS civil war was about? One faction subscribes to a more forward thinking BoS doctrine (2, Tactics,previous Vegas), the other is throwing away centuries of improved wastelander/military relations to go back to being xenophobic meatheads (FO1, the current Vegas brotherhood).

Isn't Obsidian run by the same people who said "there is no east coast anymore", just to retcon that two games later for a sidestory? And didn't they also rewrite the entire backstory like twice (once for FO1, once for VB), the second of which was so stupid it's pretty much physically painful to read? :wacko:

I based my opinion on these folks I met in a bunker in a place called Hidden Valley, I think. Not sure how much of a role the BoS will play later on, but we'll see. As for things changing, I'll go with the "fair enough" response, even though I'm not the biggest fan of said changes. But you're so good at explaining things, I enjoy reading your posts even when we disagree. :wacko:

I certainly hope I can finish Vegas at least in the foreseeable future. The core game is pretty huge from what I heard, and I have mods installed. Mods that add dozens of new locations to the wasteland. I spent several hours exploring this cave system, only to find out it was a mod-exclusive location. Fuck me. :wacko:
