What games are you currently playing?

Re: What games are you currently playing?

I think they're all PS3/360. Konami is adopting a pretty aggressive multiplatform stance, particularly given they're giving up some Metal Gear to three platforms. Its probably only a matter of time until 360 or Wii U see MGS4.

I must admit, though, the Konami HD collections don't really look like they have the kind of work-over that God of War and Ico/SOTC collection do, but given all the real update work for something like MGS3 was done on the Nintendo 3DS version, that's hardly surprising. I'm fine with the a straight port so long as the games are also playable on Vita.

That and the PS3 version comes with a voucher for MGS: Peacewalker for PSP, just so the "transfarring" concept ends up working for three platforms. Pretty smart on Kojima's part, but at least 360 owners get to enjoy the MGS games they've missed.

Kinda disappointed all this time was put into remaking SotC and Ico in 3D rather than Vita compatibility, though. It seems Sony still doesn't understand most people aren't going to embrace 3D until its affordable and practical as well. That means no glasses.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

I don't see what's so farfetched about the idea.

Its not like MGS4 can only be done on PS3. It certainly didn't seem to be able to get around having to install each of its five acts. Switching discs on a 360 would actually be faster. Of course, then the disc 2 joke wouldn't make sense, but whatever.

And - just to point it out - each MGS game to date with the exception of MGS4 has had a special edition.

MGS Integral, MGS2 Substance, MGS3 Subsistence.

Its MGS4's turn and what better time than next year, Metal Gears 25th anniversary, to release that?

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Been playing GTAIV..

I like itt, but it feels like a step back from San Andreas. You'd think with all the games prior they would have also gotten around to making the central element of the game - driving - a bit less like riding an elephant running on ball barrings. I mean, this is the same company that puts out Midnight Club and models many of GTA's races after Midnight Club.

I just hate getting stuck on the racing missions because of random mishaps. That and they seemed to have taken out that bit SA has where you could skip over parts of missions you had already done before. Losing the race is bad enough, having to drive back again and hear Brucie talk about his funny balls for the umpteenth time is actually worse.

I like Niko, though. Where Vercetti just put up with shit and CJ would just make comments under his breath Niko just tells people what he thinks and doesn't take shit. I also like Little Jacob.

I'm trying to drive Michelle away as best I can. Last date Niko ended up drunk, we got a cab and I just gave up and broke an window and shot the uzi wildly on the freeway.

She still wants to date Niko after that. Crazy woman.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

I never thought my son would ever make me this proud. He rocks.

What? No, I'm still playing Shogun 2 (yeah, at this hour even though I have to wake up in 4.) So I'm talking about my son (and heir) in game. Nothing like a heroic defense of a castle against wave after wave of enemy armies to show how good his genes are.

I just hope if I ever have real kids (ugh...) I'll be at least a fraction as proud of them...



...what? <_<;

Re: What games are you currently playing?

as of right now, I am on a backlog kick of RPGs I have, so right now I am playing Dragon Quest VIII, and for now, canceling my gamefly, because for a good few months I wont need it ;p

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Not sure what compelled me to do it... well, actually, I think it was this:

OH HELL YEA!

So, I've decided to start a Hardcore run in Dead Space 2. In fact, taking a break right now after starting Chapter 3... and I've already had 3 close calls. Sure I have plenty of health packs, but I am such a hoarder! I'm gonna have to listen to music as I move on because this can get quite nerve-racking.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Tried the No More Heroes: Hero's Paradise demo for PS3.

NMH without the cel-shading and motion controls just doesn't feel the same, it was a big part of the games character and I can't really see myself dropping $130 on Move to get the same experience I had on the Wii.

About the only thing that really improved was the framrate, which wasn't bad off on the Wii to start with.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Spent the last few days playing through Back to the Future: The Video Game (Ep. 1-5). A bit wonky on the movement and item selection controls, but some great scripting. And who can say no to Michael J. Fox AND Christopher Lloyd? Not me.

I've got the biggest smile on my face right now from finishing Ep. 5.

Catherine is going to have to wait until tomorrow!

Re: What games are you currently playing?

I've started playing CrimeCraft during those times when I don't have a few solid hours to devote to FFXI.

It's a pretty enjoyable third person shooter that's trying so hard to be an MMO by adding stats and equipment. It does an ok job I think. Nothing phenomenal, but certainly entertaining. There's enough abilities to mix and match that you can excel in a number of play styles. I myself enjoy being a sneaky bastard, so I turn myself invisible and run to a place where I can just sit and snipe people all day long until they figure out where I am and send a few rockets my way.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Just finished Back to the Future, and I loved it, but WTF on the ending lol ;p

Cathrine is still kicking my butt, and I am still playing Dragon Quest VIII

since I picked up the Collectors edition of StarTrek Online for 12:99 (I wanted the sweet sweet com badge ;p) I have another 30 day thingy... might join and see if the game has changed any since I last messed with it.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Finished off OOT3D, unlocked the Master Quest but I think I'll save playing through that for another time. I want to catch up on some of my DS backlog for the time being while I want on Devil Survivor Overclocked and all those free games. That and I'll probably do Link's Awakening some more.

Now back to Catherine o.o/

Re: What games are you currently playing?

And I'm still playing Shogun2. <_<;


You know a game is very good when you have no problems deleting all your progress so far to start over again even if you are already at end game and with very good chances of winning the grand melee between clans for the Shogunate. Well I was already Shogun, just needed to capture a few more provinces to complete my objectives. But I didn't like it when my closest allies fell, even if I was able to destroy their enemies shortly after.

You really need to plan waaaay ahead, and it's way better when you are in a position to help your allies instead of just watching them fall when you are a newbie.

At least until it's time to make them vassals to finish the game, that is. <_<;

Re: What games are you currently playing?

My husband and I have been on a killing spree in Borderlands recently. It's a nice way to spend a few hours together. We're always on the lookout for co-op games we can play. MMOs obviously work, but sometimes it's nice to play a game that is designed around a few players inhabiting the world, rather than thousands. We recently finished the co-op mode in Portal 2. Surprisingly, there was much less bickering as we played than I predicted.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

So I've been trying out Crackle. Its not as impressive as Netflix, but I'm not subscribing right now anyway so I can't exactly complain.

Its video game related, though, so that's why I'm putting it here.

Was Capcom trying t make the live action RE movies look really, really good rather than just passable Milla Jovovivh fanservice? Because if that was the intention of Resident Evil: Degeneration then they're succeeding in this regard. I did watch the original RE movie before this tonight.

That and even as a six year old move, FFVII: AC is light years ahead of this Degeneration's production values. I expected the voice overs to be corny, but I didn't think the movie would look this terrible. Even Leon and Claire look wrong.
