Game: What game are you currently playing??

[Penner]

Just finished Prototype and i'm currently playing Overlord 2

[Nadouku]

I am playing Cross Edge at the moment, but it has too many interface icons for me to know what the heck is going on. Great game, otherwise.

@RZ
Thats not too much actually, you just have to finish the games that take the least amount of time first, like veronica and remake.

[samsonlonghair]

I'm currently playing Crazy Taxi for Sega Dreamcast. Whaddaya mean, "bad driver?" Gimme my fare jerk!

[Marik]

I rented UFC 2009 Undisputed from Gamefly last week. I've been playing it along side Fight Night Round 4, which I purchased last Tuesday. I'd have to say between the two, I like UFC more.

I just got back from the mall. I picked up BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Limited Edition for PS3. I'm going get started on that now.

[darkshadow]

what comes with the LE?

[Marik]

A 2 disc Original Soundtrack containing 42 tracks by Guilty Gear's Daisuke Ishiwatari and remixes by DJ Oh No!

Bonus Blu-Ray disc with tutorials, expert advice, character specific strategies, and more.

The LE is the only version available right now. The regular edition comes out 7/28 for the same $60 price.

[Xelbair]

DAMN YOU MARIK!
I still have to wait for this lovely game!

[Marik]

lol wow. BlazBlue just came out today and Aksys has already submitted a patch for it.

KanedaGS from Aksys here... I thought I'd just chime in here to say that a patch is coming for the PS3 which will address the online issues some of you may have experienced, we're just waiting on the requisite approvals. Also, some localization issues were fixed as well as the addtion of double-blind selection in ranked matches. Oh, and for you rage quitters, if you do it enough times you'll get a redflag on your PSN name in the game. You may now go about your business.

[darkshadow]

That seems like an interesting CE, not that it will ever make its way to europe......D:

[Xelbair]

I hope that this gets released in Europe soon...

Also playing BlazBlue (Limited Edition preorder) for the xbox 360. I was very happy to hear it went dual platform.

I've been sticking mostly with Litchi and Noel, but I want to learn to use Rachel.

I really like Litchi's Drive mechanic, the staff makes for some good pincer moves, but I'm not really good with the Four Winds move yet (the Sonic whirl) or the Reach moves as well as I would like. She's faster and a lot more maneuverable than Carl.

Carl reminds me a bit of Zappa from Guilty Gear XX, but relying more on splitting your concentration.

Noel is easy, she's a lot like the kickless EX mode Jam from GGXX, with a bit of Ciel/Sion from Melty Blood. She's fast like Millia Rage, but has ranged attacks with some odd hit zones. Rachel is like Testament and Dizzy together, but with only his traps and her summons. Her drive is a lot like the movement and placement game you need to master with Dizzy's Air Dashes. Her walking speed is pathetic, just like Dizzy's. Dizzy had a very powerful close combat game, but Rachel is weak. She's so unorthodox that you could be very nasty with her if you master her.

I'm really impressed how well the game works with the controller and analog sticks. I wasn't meeting with a lot of success on my Arcade Stick, but the game does have an Arcade mode as opposed to the Controller Mode, so I might see what that does.

The LE came with the same stuff Marik mentioned, but the Gamestop preorder got me an artbook too.

Cool, another person that likes Litchi. She was the first person I chose when I got the game and I've been sticking with her.

I could have gotten the artbook, but I canceled my online pre-order. I wanted to have the game day one..

[Animeniax]

I stopped playing Prototype but I haven't finished it. Not sure why but it just doesn't appeal to me, plus it got tougher completing missions and I don't want to bother going to the trouble of learning to play to finish the game.

Hopefully it still has good trade-in value at Gamestop when I get around to trading it in.

I saw some guy trade it in when I was picking up Fight Night Round 4 on June 23rd and it was only worth $18 credit then.

[Ryllharu]

Agreed, Litchi is awesome.

The "Reach" set moves (for those who don't use her) can make her cross the stage as quickly as Rachel's gusts do for her, so long as you place the staff in the right spot. One pops her on top of it (very cool looking) and out of the range of some attacks, one whips her to it and bounces off, and the last one curls her legs around it and tosses it at her opponent (very sexy).

If you mix that up with her uppercut to plant the staff and her B.Jenet (Garou/KoF) style kick moves, Litchi can do a lot of damage really fast while popping in and out of range.

That, and her down-B has some nasty reach and the AI usually falls for it.


The lighter arcs of her story mode is pretty funny too. I haven't gotten to the 'true' arc yet.

Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor on the NDS

fucking amazing game.

[Lucifus]

Any RPG out there on PC other than Last Remnant? I dont care if its ancient.

Even emulated games will do.

Save for Breath o Fire n FF7, I havn't played any other RPGs. Recommendation gaming gurus?

[LaZie]

SNES - Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3 (Basically Secret of Mana 2), Super Mario RPG

PS1 - Xenogears (Must play!!), Legend of Dragoon.

Thats all for now, but there are tons more.

I can't believe no one mentioned Chrono Trigger.
I don't like most RPGs and I usually hate video games based on movies or TV shows, but I found Digimon Word 3 for PS1 surprisingly good. I honestly had a fun time with this game. Even if there was no franchise, Digimon World 3 was just a great rpg at its core. Then I tried digimon world 1, 2, and, 4 and decided that they stunk.
