So I was playing L4D on my friend's 360, since I'm too poor to get it at the moment. And man do a lot of people suck.
And jesus christ I hate tanks in that game.

God damn blizzard.
I swore that i wouldn't reactivate my account until after finals was over. I already bought the collector edition of Wotlk and it is still sitting on my book case unopened until school is over.
Today Blizzard decides to give away a free polar bear pet so now i'm obligated to reactivate my account so i could get it.
Curse my weakness for all things cute and fuzzy.
Wow, just finished Portal from the Orange Box. Amazing game!!! The end credits song is hilarious, same with the crazy shit the computer was saying while you fought it. The Orange Box is worth it just for this game. STEAM still sucks, but some Valve products are worth supporting this company.
Not to mention TF2 is awesome.
I currently only play PC games so the following I shall list.
1. S4 League Alaplaya/PMANG S4 Korea
2. RO2 Private Server (English) -Official English Dont Exist Yet-
3. Street Gears Europe German/French
I played some COD:WAW. it's nothing different from COD 4.
Finally left Final Fantasy Tactics A2 behind (with 282 missions...) and began Final Fantasy IV DS.
I got back to DotA. Currently playing on Garena client :)
Playing:
NDS - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
NDS - Luminous Arc 2
PS2 - Guilty Gear: Accent Core
Planning to get:
NDS - Chrono Trigger DS
Thinking about getting:
Wii - Castlevania: Judgment
How's the game?
I like fighting games in general, but a Castlevania-based one?
I dunno... it looks awesome, but it's the gameplay I'm worried about.
Anyone got the game and tried it out yet?
I'm playing Melty Blood Act Cadenza on PC.
I somehow manage to lose at the lowest difficulty, but I'm improving.. slowly..
currently only game im playing on my cimputer is DotA on battle.net. probably gonna start wow wotlk when my winter break starts.
also i just got a xbox 360 :) currently have gta 4, gow2, halo 3, and doa4 for it.
I'm not a fan of first person shooters, but I just started Fallout 3 on the PC, due to all the hype and the good reviews. Can't say I'm liking what I see so far...... although I was only like 20 minutes in before I got summonned away by Rena. :(
well 20 mins doesnt even get you out of the vault yet.
I'm still fighting cockroaches. :(
Just played Castlevania: Arria of Sorrow for GBA. Very disappointed with the ending.
FO3 is the worst game to play if you have other obligations like a young child or work or a gf or anything else going on in your life. It's such a detailed world with so much to do and kill. Only game I could imagine worse for time is WoW.Quote:

Your greatest friend is quatercircle forwart and c when in pinch. also you can use a+b+c to trigger heat when you have 100%+ magic circut and use halfcircle forward+c to use 7th scripture. and its better to save for 300% than use 100% attacks, then 7th scripture is really powerfull.
Amen to that...I wasted like a month of my life. Just started Chrono Trigger DS.Quote:

Man that's a long ass name, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. -_-
I'm currently playing LittleBigPlanet (a PS3 exclusive).
I need to get over the hi-score and related e-penis rankings so that I don't keep replaying the first level.
I just bought E8400 and 9800 GT chips, and I'm currently waiting on UPS to deliver the PC case to house it all in. I think I'll start playing PC games again by pirating Left 4 Dead.
Last year, I bought World of Warcraft for $10 bucks and it comes with a free one-month trial. It's been over a year and I still haven't installed it or gotten around to playing it. Will I now have to buy all the expansion packs to play it? Can I still play it without any of the expansion packs?
You can play WoW without the expansion packs, but you won't be able to access any of the content the expansion packs offer, such as a few new races, regions, and the raised level cap.
I played some Soul Caliber IV the other day. heh, I got torn up :p
How good is Soul Caliber IV? I was hyped about getting it when it first came out, but now I'm not so sure.
mm. well, I'm more of a tekken fan than a soul caliber one. so I wouldn't be able to tell you how good it is.
SC4 is both better and worse than SC3. There are as many pluses as there are minuses.
- The fighting between human players is somewhat unbalanced, especially online where everyone plays Apprentice. However, the combat against the AI is greatly improved. The new instant-kill mechanic prevents the turtling that the AI and some people relied upon in SC3.
- The characters are a little more unbalanced than they were in SC2. Certain characters will always win (canon ones, not neccessarily Star Wars), and others suck more than ever. Customization is extremely limited on the special manga-artist characters, and most of them are clones of the main cast (with different weapon ranges).
- Create-a-Soul mode is better and worse than before as well. While some of the new items look fantastic, the number of them is dramatically reduced from SC3. A lot of them are an utter pain in the ass to get, even with the achievements unlocking all of them. You will be grinding gold to buy them all. Another downside to this mode is what you can do with the characters. Stats are based off the items you wear, so if you want a really kickass character, you will look ridiculous. They also removed some of the styles from 3, Sword and Shuriken, Kunai, etc., but you have use of any main character's style from the start. No need to earn them.
- On the positive side, you can also fully customize the clothing and hair of the main characters just like a Create-A-Soul.
- Story mode is weak, and some parts of the Tower Mode (replacing the Campaign) are obscenely difficult. The Tower mode pales in comparison to the Campaign mode of SC3.
- Other notes: The game looks beautiful, by popular demand Amy's moveset was expanded and she became a primary character (voiced by Aya Hirano no less!), and the instant-kill against turtlers that I mentioned above makes the experience much more enjoyable. There are characters for thinkers, and characters for button mashers.
Hmm...looks like a mixed review. It looks like it has both things I'll love, and things I'll hate. I'll see if I can play it somewhere to try it out. Thanks guys.
SC4 is SC2, but just better, also haven't run into any balancing issues, well cept that yoda is ungrabable
yeah, lol. most people play with a 'no yoda' rule. it's pretty funny.
Besides not being able to grab Yoda, he's a terribad character.
Some eight year old (or at least sounded like it) continually spammed Yodas low Guard break attack, while constantly trying to get me to talk back in the mic. I finished the match out of principle, and immediately left there after, filing a report as I left if only to never have to play with that kid in any xbox live game in the future.
If you try to play for real, Yoda sucks, but if you are just attempting to be cheap, constant throws or other cheap moves make him pretty tough to beat. That's exactly the way I got the achievement for beating story/arcade mode with him...
Year end bonus means more games!

I kind of wish they included an online multiplayer of that game now. There's a limited number of people who can play with you side by side.
Official polish SC4 tournament rules forbid special characters(so no yoda or vader or apprientice(which i think sucks hard)), custom characters and it sets up soul gauge to maximum and allows insta-kills.
And i think that Ivy, Zasalamel and Cervantes are imbalanced, but Zasalamel is so fun to play, and Siegfried too.
And i have one question - is SC4 multiplayer region-blocked? i would love to play against Asians and Us people not only vs Europeans, and i have no time to check it.
Currently playing:
Final Fantasy IV DS
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
Finally managed to finish Tales of the Abyss and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 as well.
Will put every game on hold as soon as I get hands on Persona 4 though.
I could not finish tales of the abyss, i had to give back ps2 i borrowed.
Currently playing: Chess on my mobile. I just don't have enough time to play games, watch anime and learn DAMNED German language...
Zas is actually pretty low tier from what I hear. Ivy and Cervantes..... Definitely high tier. I play Taki though. Haven't played much SC4 lately because of STHD. It'll probably carry me until SF4 comes out too, so probably not much time for SC4.
As for STHD, the netcode is pretty good. But the random disconnects make playing online a pain at times. The bugs and glitches as well. The new artwork is decent, but I thought it could've been better especially with all the delays this game had. Some of the sprites look like the artists just drew a bunch of lines to make it look like they have muscles, and believe me, they do not look like muscles.
Oh, and while the music is nice, some I feel do not fit the game at all so I had to revert back to the classic music.
But yeah, STHD is still a good game. Hopefully they patch the bugs/glitches. With the new fixes they made to the characters, it's probably the most balanced fighter ever since classic ST was already considered one of the most balanced.
Cervantes is just plain easy to play, even to beat hard on your first contact with soul calibur.
well its hard to master him perfectly but just knowing basics might lead you to the high place in tournament(like first 10)
Lol, STHD was almost canned cause of the art ;), but capcom approved of it in the end.Quote:

That is easily the most idiosyncratic acronym I've heard in a while, I get the "HD," just not the rest. SFHD makes more sense. Maybe I can change my question to "explain why the acronym is that way."
LOL...Quote:

Normally i would shorten it to ssf2thd ;P
I really want to play Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix but PSN doesn't recognise my fake US billing adress even though I'm using a real credit card. :(
Tell someone from gotwoot who already has the game to share his account with you, download it from them, and pay him/her half of the game or something. You can download a paid game 5 times with the same account.
Sounds good, but will the game ever be released for other regions? It's kinda sucky when the asia PSN doesn't provide any good updates compared to the US.
You tell me. I am illegally entering the USA and Europe PSN because Mexico doesn't have its own, nor legal access to them. I can't buy anything. Only get the free downloads.
Haven't really tested if I can use pre-paid PSN cards, but alas... to get them I need to travel to USA or buy them from bastard ebayers who charge more for them.
Oh, that's just how the SF community shortens that game so I've gotten use to it. As you may or may not know, there have been like 10 versions of Street Fighter 2, and to not mix it up with other versions, ST became the acronym of choice. Even though ST is pretty much the only version of SF2 played nowadays, ST is still the acronym of choice simply because that's just the way it's always been.
Some people have started calling STHD just simply HD Remix.
:D
Just got resistance 2. Pretty fun. Anyone else play?
I can't wait to get my hands on GH4(it was released last Friday here)... only convincing my parents to pay 4/10 of the price as Christmas present(they hate this game) is hard part.
I'm willing to share my USA PSN account to trustworthy people who want to share back. I don't have anything worth sharing though. Here's what I have:
PixelJunk Monsters (Some retarded ass RTS game that doesn't even have online play, yet you download it through the PlayStation Network. Oh, the irony.)
Calling All Cars (Some retarded ass David Jaffe game that I bought because I thought he could do no wrong after God of War. Boy, was I wrong.)
Castlevania SOTN (Some retarded ass 16-bit Konami game on a 32-bit system that isn't fun and tries to be by ratcheting up the difficulty level to give you a "challenge".)
Syphon Filter 1 (Not that bad, but you'd have to pretty bored to want to play this in today's era.)
Crash Bandicoot 1 (Complete shit.)
Spyro 1 (Boring as hell. Only bought it out of nostalgia. It's amazing what passes for entertainment when you're a kid.)
I don't have Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remake but I'm planning on picking it up anyway so just assume that I have it and plan accordingly. Want to share or not?
I've been playing Dynasty Warriors 6 on 360 and Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix on PS3. Trying to get all these targets and scenarios in DW6, is a bit of a chore. It's taking me forever to get all of them. I'm also trying to gain a rare red horse.
Street Fighter is gorgeous, I especially like the zoomed in view that they added. I opted to get Street Fighter on PS3, due to the 360's terrible d-pad. Microsoft doesn't seem eager to release the green 360 controllers with the fixed d-pads in the U.S. That made the choice easy for me. I just wish that the PS3 version, supported trophies.
I'm tempted to buy a US PSN card just for Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix.
I remember days farming in warriors orochi on my pc... all skills maxed, all chars maxed, all weapons maxed etc.... after that game started to be less fun because it was too easy on chaos.
Wow, that's awesome, Xelbair. There's an achievement for getting all chars to lvl 50 in DW6. I'm already starting to get bored and I don't even have all scenarios and targets yet. I don't think I'm gonna try to get them all to 50. I've been farming on easy trying to get a rare horse that says "considers the world/heavenly body." I picked up Warriors Orochi 2 for 14.95 on Amazon, gonna move on to that next.
I saw some PSN cards for the first time the other day at Wal-Mart. They looked like someone had been trying to scratch off the strip a little to get the code, without removing it completely. I'll stick to using my credit card to add to my wallet, because I don't trust those cards that are sitting in retail.
I especially wouldn't trust stuff from Wal-Mart.
ive got like 150 hours in samurai warriors 2xl, about 70 in DW6, almost 40 in WO2 and about 70 aswell in dynasty warriors gundam, yet I only have a few chars maxed in all the games, simply cause I'm not playing it to grind, simply playing it and having fun.
Have you gotten a rare horse in DW6? If so, which one?
I just got my beta key for Battleforge(released by polish site - but on key-request site there is only e-mail field - if you want i can post link here)
I finally got around to playing Portal this weekend, and now I wonder why I never played it earlier. I loved every minute of it.
Now I'm starting on Final Fantasy XII, as well as Beyond Good and Evil (whee, I love taking pictures of all the cute little creatures) since I'm on holidays, and my beloved Guild Wars won't work on my parents' internet connection (or possibly their router...I can't find out until I get the login information for the router).
Excellent... another member of the enlightened who knows the cake is a lie. Our numbers are growing.Quote:

I've been having a great time with it. And I'm excited about Persona 4, but I'll really miss the Persona 3 characters. Especially Ryoji. XD
New Prince of Persia is fun, but I find missing some moves, like running up a wall and dropping with a slash etc. battles are 1v1 - great, combos are made on-fly - great, but you cant use terrain to your advantage(excluding getting enemy close to the edge of the arena(wall or cliff) and pushing him/her.
Jumping parts are way too easy compared to Warrior Within.
Overall - it is a great game, but really there are no connections to the main series, and no more dark climate, yeah of course corrupted areas have dark look - but it looks too much like something cut off from fairyland, its not dark enough like Warrior Within.
Oh, and yeah - I'm Prince of Persia Freak(TM) and Tomb Rider Freak(TM), and my favorite part is Prince of Persia Warrior Within, and Tomb Rider II.

You've got to try it at least once :D
And make sure you check out the rankings ;)
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
Final Fantasy IV DS
Those three take my time at the moment.
When Persona 4 arrives they will be forgotten for a while though...
I still have this on the backlog:

Resident Evil REmake
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Metal Gear Solid 4
Disgaea 3
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Quest IV
Star Ocean
Digital Devil Saga
Digital Devil Saga 2
Devil Summoner

Maybe I should stop getting so many games when there is so little time to play... or maybe not...
Next year I'll buy
Star Ocean 2
Dead Rising Wii
Ar Tonelico 2
Devil Summoner 2
Resident Evil 5
RZ! You've played Devil Summoner?! Is it any good? I was thinking of investing in it, but I'm not sure.
Althoug normally... anything Shin Megami Tensei is amazing.
Sadly I have it on the backlog.
I bought Nocturne, DDS, DDS2, Devil Summoner, Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES together for 200 dollar. Then I sold my extra Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES for a 100.
I am halfway through Nocturne, so I'll probably won't be playing DS for a while.
Currently playing a bunch of games... though a lot of them are on and off.
Persona 4 <3
Dissidia Final Fantasy <3
Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes

I just started Prince of Persia this afternoon. Graphics are pretty impressive and gameplay mechanics are very different from what I was used to in the Sands of Time series. It'll take a while to get used to.
I'm finishing up Pure, on the Xbox 360. It's a beautiful game to look at and the gameplay, is probably the best of any ATV game I've ever played. The only problem I have with this game, is the lack of event types. There are only three types of events. Freestyle, Sprint, and Race. During the World Tour mode, which consists of ten tournaments, these three event types get old pretty fast. I hope for the sequel, they expand the event types.
BoC - Prince of Persia is a bit of a fail game - you can't die there, and difficulty is toned down... to a casual level which is bad. Fighting - as they said before release - should be harder and focused on 1v1 fights... it is, but it's not harder, its like 5x easier and you cant use terrain other than finish off normal guys(rare fights - most guys you fight are bosses)... and those damn annoying soul farming episodes, without those game would be 10x better. its annoying to spent 2h with rage and hate against ubisoft because you can't find those damn 2 orbs that you need to farm out of 300 something(it is mandatory to play the game - thank's to them you get new powers). Old series(Sands of Time, Warrior Within, Two Thrones) was way better
Currently playing:
Soul Calibur IV on psn - my new motto "I hate kilik"...
I've never liked cell-shaded games, though XIII was ok.Quote:

but... I made about 6000 gold in the past week doing some serious auction house grinding.
I've been 80 for awhile. Already have 4 pieces of Tier 7, kinda bored of the game already. Downed all the raid content available besides 3 Drake Sartharion.
Playing Carcassonne on xbox LIVE Arcade with the rest of the family.
Rarely do supposedly peaceful games get this competetive this quickly. :D
Emphasis on "currently playing."
Guitar Hero: World Tour... I on guitar/percussion, my friend on guitar/percussion my dad sometimes on percussion, and my mother on vocals - awesome game!
...WHAT. For 200?! Crazy.Quote:

I'm currently playing The Answer part of Persona 3 FES and it's alright so far. Gets boring after awhile but I really want to see the cutscenes. And I love Metis.
EDIT: OH fireheart!!! How's the game The World Ends With You? I've come across a lot of pictures and they characters look cool. I don't want to look on Wiki because they SPOIL EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. It ruined Silent Hill 5 for me...
I found that The World Ends With You got really old, really fast. The combat got gimmicky really fast. You could totally ignore the screen on the top and do more than adequately. Actually...most of the time you'll do dramatically better completely forgetting about it.Quote:

The customization seems tacked on the overwhelming majority of the time. It never really mattered what equipment you had on, it was all dependent on the Badges you used, and the few you got in the beginning were more than enough to get you through the entire game.
The music was alright I suppose, it fits well and was catchy enough.
It was all style over substance. I think I would have been better off spending the money on No More Heroes for the Wii.
Ryll and Junior: Really? I kinda liked the game actually, it has some of the elements I've always wanted in an RPG for one you don't try to save the world so for once it's not really as epic as other games. While I do agree that the combat got old it's not like it forces you to do it all the time.
And the main characters attitude is meant to be annoying so if you find him annoying it means they did a good job and obviously since he's annoying he grows up during the game.
As for the story I found it interesting and wanted to know how it would end and I'll admit there where a couple of plot twists I didn't see coming at all. While some of the plot is overused they manage to bring some good ones in there.
The equipment mattered to me since it was there most of my stat where or rather where I got most of my HP. Also thought the customization was a nice touch as you could make the game easier or harder on the fly. As for the badges don't know if I could have made it till the end with the ones you start with. For the brand thing I almost never checked it since it didn't make that much of a difference. I did like the whole part where the store clerks start to recognize you and stuff, small stuff but liked it
Music I agree on
All in all thought it was quite worth the money.
Ryll:
Well... that is why I love that everyone has its own likes and dislikes. I personally loved TWEWY while I seriously lack the motivation to try the apollo games.
Junior:
Fun part of TWEWY is ACTUALLY playing both screens at the time. Specially with most bosses. If you ignored any of the screens with a boss you would lose in 5 seconds. If you ignore one screen, as Ryll said, the game gets boring fast.
About Nocturne... I already went pass the tower and it did gets a bit tiring, specially with so few story development between dungeons. But I am determined to get at least one of the six endings and be done with it. If I took 2 long painful years to finish Tales of the Abyss I know I can finish this game someday.
This is actually the exact opposite experience I had. I had a lot of trouble with the earlier bosses when I was playing both screens. After I gave up and set the computer to take over instantly, the game turned into a cakewalk, bosses started going down without me even paying attention. I wait for the puck to come back and the partners even did well generating the super attacks under the AI. Easy, but as you said, a very tedious experience without both screens.Quote:

Until the 5th. I'm just about to get to fly my epic flying mount in northrend too... but I need to have wow out of the picture to be able to focus on RL things for 2009 like school and certs
I..don't...believe...this... someone other than me quit wow without problems.
I'm thinking on getting DS, but its damn hard to find Onyx/Black in shops here.
I have successfully avoided WoW for almost a year now, damn I want to go back sometimes but well...my money and bandwidth has been reduced so can't.
Snagged SW:Knights of the Old Republic 2 for PC $7, loving it
I'm doing good... my play time is up on the 5th and last night I only played for about 20 minutes. I went to outland and put my new epic flying mount to use and flew around ganking some horde, until a lvl 80 deathknight stopped me at which point i just logged out.
The godly game known as Persona 4, leaving everything aside on stand by (except for Final Fantasy IV DS on my lunch break)
I just bought LittleBigPlanet, and I'm looking foward to creating my own costumes and levels. :)
I'm playing Need For Speed: Undercover. It's better than I thought it was gonna be, seeing as it has so many terrible reviews.
i just got my hands on DS lite. now i just have to get some games and let the fun begin. I'm thinking of "The world ends with you" or "Final Fantasy 4". Which one in your opinion is better?
FF4. My dislike of TWEWY aside, FF4 is one of the traditional FFs, good story, great characters...and hard. I'm less sure about the 3D DS remake, but the Chronicles version of the PS was the Japanese version, and it is rough. The story is long and often brutal (I like it way more than FF6). It will keep you occupied much longer than TWEWY.
I still recommend the Pheonix Wright series. Awesome text games with a lot of humor, some tough thinking involved, and by the time you get to the third one, an AMAZING story. The climax of the Fey family cases in the third game is some of the best writing and tension in a game I've seen in a while. (The second one kinda sucks though, I highly advise using faqs so you can at least get the story out of it. A lot of the cases are filled with dumb, instant-lose points and annoying characters, the circus case is the worst.)
Well, my cousin and friend are getting DS too, we are dividing which game one of us buys, Phoenix Wright series have gone to my cousin, along with survival horrors., i have FF and most rpgs on list, and my friend gets strategy games(i heard that advance wars is pretty awesome).
I think that i will stick with FF4. Thanks Ryllharu.
Hmm had problems with Phoenix Wright to be honest, not that it was a bad game in anyway just that it was hard to stay focused after reading all that text after a couple of hours... not to mention that there's no skip button incase you lose. So after I put it away it gets hard to start playing again but did finish the first and the second, would play the third one as well but since my cousin is currently playing my version of it and it doesn't offer multiple savefiles I can't play it...
I just saved constantly. I'd usually only have to A-button through a few screens, maybe 2 minutes tops. After a while you got a feel for when they were about to drop a bomb on you. Whenever the (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh da duh-duh-duh-duh [really fast]) music started up, you just make a quick save and you can screw up over and over.
I do the same for any PC visual novels or h-games, even though they have a skip. Every 12-15 screens or if I feel like getting past a major conversation, I make a save.
Playing Eternal Sonata for the PS3 right now. It's pretty awesome, just what I needed to fulfill my JRPG deficiency.
Ryll: Really? Always thought that the quick save function worked as in Castlevania in that the save file disappears after you load it... guess I learned something new then. Will keep that in mind once I start on the third one. Have you tried Apollo Justice? Any good?
Apollo Justice has its positives and negatives. There is a greatly expanded use of the stylus (since Trials and Tribulations, the 3rd game, was actually a GBA title in Japan) and the "Soko da!" element of finding the nervous ticks of the lying witnesses is a lot of fun.
On the downside, the cases aren't as much fun overall, and it's hard to get attached to the characters the same way you were to the Fey family due to the time jump of seven years. Trucy (new character) and Ema (from the final case in game 1) are great, but they still aren't Maya...
I'm currently playing RE4, I never really got into RE series back in the past, but a friend recommended it to me since he said the series was good and it was plus since RE5 is coming out. The funny thing about it is that im starting with RE 4, then after I beat it i'll start from the beginning at the mansion playing the GC version of RE1 on the wii.
I know it's ass backward but its hard to find RE1 for GC, I had to order online and wait patiently until it comes in mean time i believe im half way thru RE4
i got fallout 3 for xmas (ps3) I was a little worried about the aiming w\ the ps3 controller vs PC but the battle system is pretty easy and straight forward.
An important note they even show when you're starting is that the game auto-saves pretty often, good and bad. Bad because I got bored after spending 3 hours playing and massacred most of the town, then went to play last night and it had saved so i restarted.
I think its a great game so far. its such a huge change from the first 2 games but the basic story and point systems are intact. it's just really a great game because of the choices you can make that will effect different factors later in the game. You could play through it several times and each time would be different.
