The problem with traditional JRPG setting is that most have been done to death.Quote:

But this general shift toward sci-fi that RPG are taking isn't sitting too well with me either. The only RPG that I've enjoyed in recent times are Tales of Vesperia and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
I had high expectation for Mistwalker games but both Blue Dragons and Lost Odyssey didn't wow me at all.
I'm still somewhat skeptical about FFXIII so hopefully Mistwalker next game will turn out great.
I've just got Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow for my ds. Now i wanna play the rest games in the series, its really addicting, but compared to Oder of Ecclesia it is easy...too easy.
I always tried playing the Castlevania series for the DS but for some reason I get bored easily. Maybe its because of the platform style? Still the first game in PS with Alucard is epic.
Just got Dead Rising for X360, haven't fired it up yet though. DR2 should be out in the Fall, looks even better than the original.
Dynasty warriors gundam 2
This game is just soo freaking good.
I got it today and played for a bit with shinn/destiny, and all ive got to say is wow.
Destiny is a beast, its melee range is great, its melee speed is great, its melee damage is great, its lvl3 sp freaking takes out and entire field ( 100 kills) and its air sp has excellent range and duration, couple that with a very fun and usefull moveset and damn its crazy.
Not to mention its combination sp destroys officers.
If Destiny is any indication of how badass the other suits are, then this game will only get better and better =D
Oh and for some reason, nanai made shinn a cyber-newtype lol.
I was waiting for the English version but it seems there's no option to switch to the original Japanese voices. Well, all the wait's for nothing and I'll be getting the Japanese version after all.
Yeah, which is weird cause gundam musou 1 did have that option, most voices are pretty good in english though, cept for a few.
Loran now totally sounds like a girl, I can't picture laura rolla as male anymore with that voice >_<, though the VA herself is pretty good.
Shinn sounds good, but lacks the emotion with certain lines, like "you people want to start another war!" sounds so much more emotionally fueled in japanese.
Lacus, well even though I hate her guts and enjoy blowing her up, her english VA doesn't do her character justice, the jpn VA has far more elegance and class.
Kira... well lets just say that "STOP IT!!" sounds far cooler in japanese then in english <_<.
Puru and Puru 2 sound out of character.
Still, its inexcusable that the jpn VA audio track wasn't included in either the ps3 or x360 versions, still there might be a slight chance they add it via DLC.
I'll kill them if they add in that DLC after I buy the Japanese version. :(
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin on my DS.
I've finished Dawn of Sorrow - good game, not too hard not too easy and fun to play. PoR seems similar to DoS, balanced difficulty and fun. Compared to Order of Ecclesia it is veeery easy...but in OoE i'm stuck at 3rd boss...(its harder than finishing Bloody Pallace in DMC3 as normal Dante\Vergil...(which i finished - took me 1h 40 min as Vergil with his Nero Angelo costume, 2h 30min with normal)
could anybody recommend me a good ps3 game that allows 2 players to play on once console?(other than fighting games - we, that is me and my friend, already play mostly SC4 and we are waiting for collectors edition of BlazBlue) I know about Eternal Sonata(we are rpg freaks) and Army of Two, are there any more? oh we are also fed up with musou series(after achieving everything on warriors orochi on PC the series bored us and changes in dynasty warriors VI are bad in my opinion)
Resident Evil 5 is a pretty good game to play with a partner, online or offline.Quote:

Yeah, I'm mostly buying games for my PS3 that have some form of multiplayer mode, since that's the reason I ever touch it usually. I find single-player games more enjoyable on PC. That might be because I've got a crap tv/sound for the console though.
I broke down and played some counter strike : source the other night. I was doing well despite having not played in several months.
Still playing SF4. Championship mode is funny because of the point system.. you don't lose points and so it psychologically makes you feel like less of a loser than in ranked mode when you drop 1/10 of your 100+ hours worth of points to some nub.
I started playing w\ blanka a little bit since his moves are easy but main chun li.
mostly play cod4, grid, killzone2, fifa 09, etc, etc .. :D
I played a bit of CoD4 yesterday. I'm surprised I can still snipe people with a fluctuating 3G connection.
There was one funny part where I killed 5 people with a single MP5 clip in 7 seconds. Got knifed when I was summoning an airstrike though :o
Any and every fighting game I own on the 360 as I attempt to learn to use the arcade stick I finally got in the mail today. Authentic Sanwa stick with an Octo-gate. I haven't played a fighting game at an arcade in the greater part of a decade, so I'm really rusty. After years of using regular controllers to the best of their capacity, there is a slight learning curve involved.
Guilty Gear XX #Reloaded got the most playtime. Some moves I haven't been able to do at all on the 360 controller are once again possible, but I've been having some problems with the timing on Milia's aerial moves, and one of my combos with Dizzy. Jam was hit or miss as well. I could finally do her super moves again, but I can't chain link her kicks as easily as I could with the controller.
With enough practice, I will get used to it so I can play SFIV better, and should be proficient in time for the console releases of BlazBlue and King of Fighters XII, not to mention Marvel vs Capcom 2 on XBL.
Killzone 2 but mostly dota when im home in the weekends
Good old Guilty Gear, eh?
I've played too much that game, but it brings back good memories.
So you are waiting for BlazBlue too Ryll?
On a PS3:
Persona 4 (again)
Resident Evil 5
On a PSP:
Prinny: Can I really be the hero?
On a DS:
Dragon Quest IV
On a Wii:
-None- Still gathering dust.
Ryllharu, Xelbair- though it's a step back, have you both tried GGXX #R PC version's netplay?Quote:

I didn't try netplay - I've been playing at some conventions and with friends. And I've been playing only on pc.
I'm still playing The Last Remnant, i'm much closer to the end. Also i tried demigod - wasted money - i could play DotA(which suck imo too) on my w3 for free...
Sorry wrong thread (click mistake)
Last Remnant bitch:
What was the Squeenix thinking when making Icy Idol? ok i get, you wanted to make him hard but for goddamn sake teams with high battle-rank(80) that take care of adds at 1st turn can't beat this shit.
My teams have approx 6000hp, and if i have bad day, scratch that - if i have very lucky moment he dosen't, boss uses Maelstrom Insignia at end of turn(500-4000 dmg to all unions... and 3000-4000 happens much more often than 500-2500) and at beginning of next one, before i can heal, comes another AoE(Acid Rain) 1k-4k dmg... and my only union that has Orphic Ward(immunity to one spell attack) dosen't want to use it ever...
EDIT:
2h after writing that i beat that boss, along with final one. game finished.
Gameplay: 8/10(-2 for that imba boss, other than that its just awesome)
graphics 9/10 (some minor glitches - but overall great)
music 10/10(fits perfectly)
plot 10/10(Interesting, big world, very good hooking plot)
Overall 9,5/10
Started Dead Rising on the X360 but can't get into it, even though it seems like it could be a lot of fun. So instead I'm running through RE5 again with unlimited ammo on the S&W M500.
I finally bought Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, after searching in vain for the Japanese version. They seemed to pull it off the shelves after the US version was released :(
Just spent 3 hours on it..... it's tougher than I thought. I've never really been into the DW franchise, so hopefully I'll get better....
the amount of bars for a mission indicate how hard its going to be, and ultimately how hax the final officer is going to be.
So when that officer spawns and you notice it has a red flame opposed to an orange one, you are best of making an interim save ;P.
Also you can use red health sp regeneration to run around dodging strong officers and just attacking them with an sp attack when it refills, always block and let them attack first before activating it, otherwise they'll just block it themselfs
SF4 on PS3, have ordered Pro Evo 2009 as well.
I got Resistance 2 for free with my PS3 bundle, have not even bothered to open it. Is it worth playing?
It's an OK game. Nothing special, pretty standard stuff, no real experimentation or anything innovative.
Actually the coop is pretty fresh, with the class based stuff.
dota. that's right.
XBox 360: SF4 and Resident Evil 5
This is slightly off topic but recently, when playing the xbox, bands of horizontal blue and red are flashing on my TV. Any idea why this is happening?
Back to warcraft 3 - and first thing i see is most overrated and stupid map ever - DotA. there are TONS of better maps in this style - and even better balanced - why people does not play them?
Sadly, those less-named maps aren't "good" enough for the public and tend to be shunned. There are some people dedicated to those maps, but there aren't enough people to stand against the Defense of the Ancients fanbase. I agree that there are better maps than Defense of the Ancients, though.
Right now, I am revisiting ICO. Very fun game, and recommend it to all.
Nad - you just made me enraged - now i really need to get ps2... for SoC, ICO and Xenosaga.
Signed in on Xbox Live for the first time in a couple weeks yesterday, though it was probably much longer than that, and saw the UFC 09 demo was up and decided to give it a try.
Damn is all I can say. I mean seriously I was expecting it to be okay but the demo blew me away, and the characters they picked for the demo couldn't have been better. I love Chuck Liddell but I can't think of anything more satisfying that picking him apart with Rua. Well maybe beating the crap out of Tito Ortiz because I can't stand that guy, speaking of which the roster for the game looks great too.
This game just went from not even being on my radar to the very top of my must have list. Right up there with Assasin's Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2 and I know there are a few MMA fans here so you guys should check it out.
I had read that the roster for UFC 09 was ridiculous. 80+ playable characters is just insane.
They started production a couple years ago so they have tons of great fighters like Arlovski that are no longer in the UFC... good for gamers though ^^ I should dl the demo when i get home
UFC makes all their fighters sign away likeness rights for life, so they can use their likenesses and names in games in perpetuity, even 100 years from now. It's one of the many reasons Fedor will not sign with UFC.
I need to try the demo for this game, but I imagine it's like any of THQ's pro wrestling games, just with more moves.
Hey, no need to be so negative and THQ's recent wrestling games are actually pretty good. Their wrestling games are usually fast paced arcade style games though whereas this is a much slower paced, much more technical fight simulator and it's pretty damn realistic.Quote:

[edit 19 may 2009]
I've finally got my copy of Final Fantasy 8 for PC - back to kicking asses with squall.
I just started playing Half Life 2 : Episode 1. I got it w\ the orange box when it came out and haven' t tried playing it. Alyx is funny sometimes... "hey gordon... look. It's a combine zombie..... Zombine ! get it ?!"
Then at some point I was in a pitch black parking garage and had to keep turning off my flashlight to let it charge and alyx starts making zombie noises lol
If you leave it off to long she will freak out, also sometimes its a real zombie and she will ask if it was you.
Just beat InFamous, using Good Side's powers. It had an interesting story, but I'm going to go back and play on Hard and Evil.
I've been playing team fortress 2 again. It really is a great game. I have been playing 2-3 hours at a time!
My World My Way - DS
Valkyria Chronicles - ps3
How did you like the game overall? Does it get boring? Does it feel like just a sandbox type game? Been planning to pick it up.Quote:

The game is interesting, at first you are kinda just exploring, but as you continue on the story and get new powers, oh man it's fun haha.Quote:

Overall, it was a fun experience, i would definitely recommend it.
Side note: as darkshadow said, put the game on hard and then play it. Much funner than easy or medium.
Prototype
Just watch the video, this game is incredibly badass.
When I watched the review of Prototype on gamespot, it looked like you spent the overwhelming majority of the time getting hit with machine gun fire and rockets and then struggling to regain health by absorbing people.
It became clear from this video that whoever was playing during the gamestop review footage just wasn't very good.
Or does it get a lot crazier later on?
Fallout 3 is still a lot of fun thanks to all the mods, but I'm getting a little tired of it, and could use another good PC game. Good to know the port of Prototype is well done.
The Gamespot and GT review were both playing it wrong I think, yeah at the very start you can't do a whole lot so you eat a lot of damage.
But the thing is, you can buy the shield power pretty much off the bat since it doesn't cost anything, and it works passively.
And afterwards you just get more powerful like every 30 mins. You even get a "health regen" skill.
So far I haven't died once.
No wait I did die once, but that was because at a certain point in the game a certain type of enemy is introduced, this enemy is pretty damn strong and can pretty much follow you anywhere. You actually also have to run away from it to unlock a power to actually be able to fight it, even then it's still powerful enough to kill you in a few hits, but you will get used to fighting them.
I was just a fool and rushed in trying to stomp it. It did all the stomping.
The game actually plays in a prequel kind of way, giving you a taste of the endgame and full powered alex at the very start ( kinda like path of neo), and then alex proceeds to tell the story of what happened in the past days, this is what you wind up playing. But from what I've experienced, endgame alex = unstoppable. I didn't even knew how to exactly play the game, yet wrecked shit left and right.
Haha, hunters right.Quote:

Yeah you have all these crazy powers but something about the way you interact with the world around you just doesn't click for me. Especially in the later part of the game, you're like a god running around in this huge city but you never feel like you're a part of it. Kinda like Superman Returns but it's not nearly that bad. It felt more like a Spiderman game, in fact the entire time I was playing Prototype I couldn't help but compare it to Web of Shadows.
I don't want to appear too negative though. I think Prototype is a good game, I compared it to Web of Shadows and I loved Web of shadows, I just think Infamous is that much better.
Prototype right now - i'm killing boss on the aircraft carrier.
The gameplay of prototype reminds me of Dead Rising. I think I'll go buy a copy, though I'm really used to the gameplay of DR and want to continue playing it (I've finished it twice already). But it's time for new challenges, so Prototype, here I come!
Some more footage
This time I focused on showing some of the powers and Street Fighter references, this game is a shit load of fun.
yeah, but this guy at carrier is annoying, throwing stuff at him does minimum dmg(even with power for it) and if he goes down to like 25% hp you have 1,5min to finish him off...
Hilarious video. If the first video hadn't convinced me, this one would have.Quote:

I was playing this morning and I was like ... "ok, in 5 minutes I'm going to stop playing and goto the gym" and then it's like 40 minutes later and I'm like... uh... wtf?! where did the time go?!
I just started playing the Wind Waker, for the Game Cube. I was playing a lot of Civilization 4: Warlords before. It's like a giant board game, so big only a computer can realistically keep track of the rules.
I am playing another old game called Shadow of the Colossus. Very fun and feels like a sequel to ICO. Anyone who likes action and adventuring, as well as solving puzzles, should pick this up.
Shadow of the Colossus was an epic game.Quote:

Anyone here running Prototype on XP SP2? It's the first game I've seen that specifically asks for Service Pack 3, though functionality isn't different by much.
I just completed the infamous demo, and it looks pretty promising. Will try and pick it up if I find enough money in this recession period. :p
I wondered the same thing, luckily it doesn't require it like GTA4, it runs fine under SP2Quote:

I got Prototype for the X360. Fun game, but somehow I'm just not getting into it. I think it's the mechanics of the game being kind of like Dead Rising, but different in a way that makes it hard for me to play. Hopefully I can have some fun with this game and finish it within a month so it still has some trade-in value when I'm done.
I think one of the problems is that I'm just not much of a gamer. I play when I'm bored and killing time and have no choice, whereas right now I've got other things to do but I'm trying to play this game.
Just played some metal gear online, after a year of not playing and I forgot how incredibly good it can be.
Though it can also be incredibly annoying if there is even a slightest bit of lag, which make CQC'ing impossible. I've stabbed people in the face, only for them to turn and shoot me in the head and we both die, people have grabbed me from 3 meters away, grabbed straight through people, grabbed people only for them to magically still headshot me.
The worst one had to be where I fired an entire clip on a guy who was lying on the ground, I then had to reload, he stood up, fired and we both died. I wasn't even firing anymore...
That is the kind of shit why I prefer xblive, even if it means paying.
Though like I said, it can be pretty incredibly awesome when it all works correctly, my last few matches had very little lag so that was awesome.
Valve should start charging a yearly online fee too. The way L4D lags sometimes, it's like they need to sell the game at $100 a pop to afford some extra servers/bandwidth or something.
valve shouldn't charge! I like being able to play team fortress or counterstrike online for free.
So, per my last post in the thread I uninstalled WoW after only playing for like 2 hours after reinstalling it. Apparently I promised my wife I'd never play it again!
Got InFamous, had it switched to Hard by the game (?) then just left it. It's been pretty damn fun so far. On the second island, playing as good.
One thing that pisses me off though is that some of these guys are so fucking accurate from a million yards away and you don't have Precision shot yet, it can be super annoying.
Yeah thats the only thing about the game that I find really annoying, they are accurate from miles away and their viewing range is super far as well.
I finished Prototype this afternoon. It was the most intense game I've ever played.
Nonstop carnage.
just main story line or web too?
I waste most of my time trying to get gold awards on the challenges that appear before I even start each of the main missions, so I haven't gotten very far at all (Day 4 of the Infection).
I kind of just enjoy running around the city smacking military and infected around.
I kinda tried to go far enough into the game first in order to have most of the upgrades available. I'd just figure that some of the movement challenge will be much easier after a few movement upgrades.
I'm currently on like day 6 and now that i finally have most of the upgrade unlocked, i'm just gonna go around and complete all the challenges.
I'm playing Warcraft 3 again starting with RoC then later TFT
also, I'm editing the campaign maps to make them playable for 2 players
UD campaign map 1-4 are done so far :)
It's fun to add new triggers and events to balance the map
if someone is interested, I'd like to test them btw ^^
but you'll need TFT because most of them are .w3x maps (due to editing)
Tell her she should be thankfull you didn`t went to 5 hours raid, quiting WoW is the best you can do with your life T_TQuote:

I'm playing Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist for Sega Genesis. It's a bit better that the SNES equivalent: Turtles in Time because the game play is faster and the enemies are more aggressive.
\......./
Bam!

Take that foot soldier! That's what you get for lurking just off the side of the screen.
I loved Turtles in Time on SNES, one of my favorite games of all time. They are bringing it back on XBOX Live Arcade July 22nd. It looks kinda weird since they made it 3D.Quote:

I just finished Resident Evil 5 yesterday, so Im trying to get several trophies now and have a carnage on Mercenaries.
Im also through the 7th playthrough of Prinny: Can I really be the hero? So I can get the Etna fight before I download the extra stages from the PSN store.
Also began Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs the Soulless Army. Fantastic jewel of game.
Dragon Quest IV DS, Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga and Disgaea 3 are currently on hold until I want to play them again in order to finish...
Plan to pick up Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor this weekend.
PS: I want Star Ocean 4 on PS3 ='(
Just finished Lost Odyssey. Its a good game.
Now deciding between Star Ocean (the graphics shown on box look abit too flashy) and Last Remnant.
Last remnant for pc is great - but i heard that it has some issues on xbox version.
Actually it is one of best rpg games that i have played lately.
Definitly don't get Last Remnant on x360, it runs like dogpoop, the PC version however, runs flawlessly ( at least for me, tried the demo ).
But even so, Star Ocean > Last Remnant.
That settles it - I'm getting Star Ocean for xbox360. :D
The dub is painful. Like, fall on a pile of rusted metal painful at some spots. I will admit that I bought the game used the week it came out so that Square-Enix wouldn't get a dime for not offering dual-audio on their US releases. I also cannot stand the main character at all. I loathe Edge Maverick, he's easily the most annoying main character in an RPG I've ever played, but maybe a lot of that is just the bad dub.
I expected so much more from a Squeenix published title, and a Star Ocean game at that, but the English track is so horrendously godawful I can barely play the game. Words cannot describe it, watch some Youtube videos and think carefully about it.
Other than that, the game is great. Maybe I should start playing it on mute.
I don't think the dub is bad at all actually, sure it isn't at lost odyssey level, but I feel the majority of voices are either a bit worse, or actually better.
Reimi and Edge sound way too young with jpn VA's(Reimi's jVA isn't really good either). And Welch actually sounds spot on for the role she is playing, this is the first time I've heard a hyper japanese girl done right with an eVA( I lol'd when she called Faize, "fail"). Lymle does sound pretty bad, or maybe just very uninspired.
Since I don't know faize's jVA, I can only say I thought Crow sounded better in japanese ( and lymle).
Welch appears on Star Ocean 4 again? Geez... I've seen her on Star Ocean First Departure and Star Ocean 2nd Evolution. Can't remember if she was (non-playable) on Star Ocean Till the End of Time though...
I'm playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite now.
I had about 500 hours on Monster Hunter Freedom 2, I decided to start over on Unite with a new character cause I didn't like my old character's name >.<
I would love to play monster hunter...
Does anybody want to buy my WOW set + account?
$45 = battlechest ( like-new ) WOTLK (like-new) and my account w\ lvl 77 paladin + a few low levels + little gold.

Welch is non-playable in Star Ocean Till the End of Time, she fills the same function as in SO4.
Well currently on what I'm guessing is the last dungeon in Star Ocean 4 before my 360 died at least but thankfully a friend fixed it for me. After I'm done with the main story I'll start with Tales of Vesperia since it came out last week here in Europe. Also don't geel like doing the extra dungeon right now. And from the sound of things I should really get off my ass and play Lost Odyssey seeing as I've had it since it came out but never played it.
The ps3 haven't gotten much attention lately so lent it to a friend.
And playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor on DS only on the first day though.
Also think Star Ocean 4 and Tales of Vesperia got a 5 or so in our game magazines, they seem to expect a lot more from a JRPG or rather expect them to do something other than what they've done before.
RyougaZell: Is Devil Summoner really that fun? I kinda got tired of the rate of random encounters so haven't played it in quite some time. And why isn't Devil Summoner 2 on the play list?
