That's more of a project, or a game I play when I feel tired and want to relax in bed with my Vita. It's still on going. But I've not made any progress since finding out I need the harp.

Doom 1 through 3. :D

Also waiting for Bioshock 1 and 2 to finish downloading so I can play those too. :nod:

Started the Syphon Filter saga for PSX! :D

PC Agarest Generations of War

Bleh, at least I can bear the slowdown by turning off the Effects and skip all the dialog :/

Max Payne 3 and GTA V.

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes

Got back into Last Ranker, getting near the end of the game now (I think) and it's still very light on plot and character development. Give Ren more screen time dammit! :wacko: On the bright side the battle system and the soundtrack are pretty cool.

Chrono Trigger

Suikoden 1,

pretty good so far :nod:

Just reminded me that I have to do that someday. Been on my backlog for ages. Made it about halfway back 10 ago years but something new and shiny came along and distracted me :wacko:

Good to see some love for the classics!
And really, everybody owes it to themselves to play Suikoden II at some point in their life. The first one has my nostalgia, but the second is easily one of the best RPGs. Ever. Well worth its price tag (one of the only games I don't regret spending over $200 on).

And GoB, if you like Suikoden, add Seal: Unmei No Tabibito to your Jap games list.

Remember once you beat Suikoden one you can load yer save into Suikoden two and unlock stuff necessary to get all 108 Stars of Destiny.

Nice, I might play it!

DOOM, Pokemon Y, and that's it for now. :lol

I've started to play Need for Speed Most Wanted to make some room in my HDD.

Started Sly 4 the other day.

Remember Me
Remixing memories and playing DDR with combat.
Oh joy :wacko:

Trails in the Sky or w/e it's called. Looking for another game or two to pick up now.

Added Armored Core 2 to my actual PSX playlist :D

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena/Escape From Butcher Bay.

Been dabbling with Ace Combat Assault Horizon (PC) I'll probably finish this one.
Also Resident Evil 5 (PC) co-op with a friend. The GFWL rampage continues! :wacko:

(´・ω・｀)

Just got Just Dance 2014! Gonna dance tomorrow! :D

Not hugely convinced by it as a game; some of the gameplay mechanics feel a bit clumsily executed to me, and lots of the quests are unnecessarily obtuse at times, even by adventure game standards, and require too much walking back and forth aimlessly trying to trigger something by accident (of course there's always the option of a walkthrough, but that sort of defeats the point in a game like this~). But it's crammed full of so many quirky, cool ideas, oozes so much heart and charm, and is, as its name would suggest, such a neat "remix" of the traditional JRPG that I'm really loving it anyway. Haven't played a new game from start to finish for a long time, but I think I'm going to see this one to the end. ^^;;;

---

I have gotten so many recommendations for this game it's ridiculous. It looks good, but too quirky to elbow its way to the upper tier of my list.

Fond of that one myself. ^^;;; Though it's actually Korean rather than Japanese. The Japanese version is a translation.

---

Yes, but GoB isn't learning Korean just yet (don't think so anyway), so that version wouldn't be of much use! ;P
That said, Derboo from HG101 was working on a translation of the original version, but it seems to be stalled.

I had a friend who was self taught in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, and she brought my attention to a whole slew of hidden gems--it's really surprising how many great games go under the radar simply for not being Japanese. War of Genesis, Wind Fantasy and Fantasia Sango, just to name a few.

And PokemonGenius, I now have The Safety Dance song stuck in my head thanks to your post.-_-

Jump Ultimate Stars

Pathetically easy :P

(´・ω・｀)

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Ludicrously fast paced swordplay action? Yes, please.
I can save a shit load of money on tatami with this game. Need to do tameshigiri; pop in Revengeance! Seriously, carving shit up is absurdly fun. The story so far is nonexistent; not sure if that's an improvement or not, considering MGS usually has plots that are as great as they are imbecilic. :-/
What really hampers my enjoyment though is that goddamn scoring system. I'd rather just pass through the game naturally than have it constantly judging me. Especially since nerds hold anything less than a perfect score anathema (and since nerds prefer RPGs to action games, I'm seeing a lot of Bs and Cs, which really pisses me off).

With, perhaps, the caveat that your Japanese needs to be pretty good. The text is more or less standard JRPG difficulty, but so much of the game is about the characters and setting that I don't think it would be nearly as enjoyable if you didn't get everything language-wise.

Ahh, okies, you meant in Japanese rather than made in Japan. My bad. ^^;;;

Oh, I'm pretty interested in RPGs from other parts of Asia too! I own all of the Fantasia Sango series, and played quite a bit of them while I was studying Chinese, and have a handful of other Korean and Chinese RPGs. Still want to take a serious crack at the languages someday and play through them as something other than a language learner. ^^;;;

Yeah, it'll be a while before I chip into my PS1 list; using AGTH with PC98 and Windows games is just too convenient for me to go back to constant 15 minute breaks to look up kanji combinations. And when I do, there are a couple dozen other games that take priority (KHAMRAI!!!).
As for Fantasia Sango. . . I'm REALLY tempted to order Genso Sangokushi I & II, Falcom's ports of the games, so I don't have to rely entirely on translation tools to play them. . . but they're not cheap, and I do already have Chinese "copies." *cough*:pirate:

Almost finished my second playthrough of FF Type-0. Now challenging the Agito Tower. And all I can say is... fuck you. A consecutive fight against 100 LV 128 (!!!!!) Tonberrys on the FIRST level? What were they smoking when they thought this up???? Seriously????

(´・ω・｀)

Everything Shenmue does Yakuza can do better.
No it can't.
Yes it can.
Not it can't.
Yes it can.
No it can't.
Yes it can, yes it can yes it CAAAAAN!!!

Okay, showtuning out of the way, Shenmue is a bit overrated, I think. I mean, sure it's one of the best forklift simulators around, but wandering around getting the same snatches of dialogue trying to figure out who to talk to next, training up fighting skills you hardly use, and the fact that there's hardly any plot progression in the first game AT ALL. . . and Yakuza doesn't have any of those horrible QTEs. (note that I never played Shenmue 2, because it emulates like ass)

Playing GTA V. Almost have it beat. Also, GTA Online is pretty fun.

Pokemon X, played and beat it within a week.

Pokemon Platinum

Remind myself to finish this first, then Soul Silver, Black and White 2

WRC Powerslide on 360. Pretty good game. Kind of annoying you have to replay each race 3 times in each class of car mind you. But hey ho, got to extend the gameplay time somehow. :wacko:

Been playing Farcry 3, and a bit of Dragons Dogma. Just finished all the single player trophies on Farcry 3. I'm going to be attempting to do all the co op missions tonight then I can move onto Dragons Dogma properly.

I started to play Far Cry 3 and Lego Batman 2 (Vita version) yesterday.

Picked up Rocksmith 2014 yesterday. Really enjoying, big improvement over the original.

I'm one of the few who enjoyed Far Cry 2. If FC3 is similar to it as far as the different ways to complete the missions refers, I'll enjoy this one too. Can't really comment too much yet, only a couple of hours into it so far, but it sure isn't the best driving game ever :wacko:
