I just ordered DKC1 and DKC2 for the SNES. As well as Chrono Trigger. Until then, I'll just sit here, twiddling my thumbs.

The past few days I've been playing Banjo Tooie 24/7. I finally was able to find Weldar in Grunty Industries and beat the crap out of that guy! It was the most challenging boss fight I had in the last years. I won on the first try though.  :P

I wanted to start playing Super Mario World again, but after finishing the first castle I noticed that this game is WAY too easy. So I stopped and now I'm frustrated.  ::)

Try using Meta Knight, hover over the bosses and attack from above. First priority is not getting hit, second is inflicting damage. Peach (Side-B), Charizard (Side-B), and Yoshi (Down aerial A) works good too.

Europa Universalis 3.

Confusing as hell of a game, took me hours and hours of experimenting and reading guides and the manual to actually figure out the basics...and I still don't understand a lot of it.  I've managed to conquer a lot of Northwest Africa and convert it to Catholicism...very addictive game when you understand it.

It's basically a platformer. But by beating the story mode, you unlock materials and such to use in level creator, which is the crux of the game. It's also really ridiculous.

Oblivion (coming into random people's homes and killing them, stealing their stuff, T-bagging them, and then finally putting stolen junk into their closests and such. Also trying to kill people in creative ways).

IX is a good game, but it really is underated though. Seriously, it wasn't that bad... IX was a good game imo, not as crappy as FFXII. I know it's not the best FF out there, but still was fun to play, even though it'll never beat the ones from the SNES, or FFX in my case.  :P

Indeed... Playing it in a giant room at 3:00am with no lights almost gives you a heart attack  :P

Indeed again. FFVII was the 1st FF game Ive played, and Ive just played about 20 mins, because it was so boring... always guys appearing to confront you... then Ive played another FF, and the experience was way better.... but i still dont like any FF xD

Good, someone agrees with me.

Quote from: G-Han on July 25, 2009, 03:51:56 PMFinal Fantasy VII. Again.

G-Han!  ;D

Anyway, I still don't really like the 3D FF games. Maybe XIII will turn me.
It doesn't really feel inferior, but in my opinion VII marks the turning point within the franchise. In more concrete terms: I till V had a typical mediaeval setting; VI had steampunk (early 20th century), while VII till XIII are more focused on futurism or exotism. But mind you: Final Fantasy VI is still my favorite game ever. XIII will probably be better than XII in terms of gameplay. I played through its demo two or three times, but the fighting really feels confidential.

I did. And I'm a big fan of Japanse role-playing games on top of that. In addition, I love the music, its overall look and the characters - but it doesn't even comes close to killer7. I'll let you figure out why.

I've never been able to get the concept of wii fit. Why would you spend 80$ to pretend to play with a hoola-hoop when you can play with a real one for 50 cents? And push-ups and streching are free. I just don't see a point to spending that much money on something mimicing what you could be doing in real life for a ton cheaper.

I know what are you guys trying to say, and when my brother brought the game (Yeah, the game is funny, but Ill never spend 90â,¬ in a video game) I had the same opinion. But the game is not only cheaper than some months in a gym, but also you can get the same or better results than it. Also, it teach you very well the exercises and its funnier than the gym.

for those of you who dont know, you can type in pretty much anything and use it/interact with it to solve puzzles. over 22,802 different words! from anything to everything, but it has to be a real-life, physical thing. :P

Impossible thing is impossible. xD Sometimes I just feel like I've got to play to a specific game, so I just start a new game. That's why I'm playing FF VI/X/X-2/XII alternatively. I've always been doing this; I just can't concentrate on a single game, I've got to be playing to more than one.

Eternal Sonata was just epic. I'm not going to play it in a while now that I finished it but I might play it again some other time as there's more than 1 ending to the game, would be nice to see them all. As for now I will stick with LotR Conquest, Little Big Planet, Soulcalibur IV and Collin McRae Dirt.
I'm probably going to buy my next game for PS3 within 1-2 months as I don't have that much money and I will try to get an external harddrive and a 250gb or 500gb harddrive for my PS3. When I get it I will install Linux on my PS3 so I can do alot of nice things, for example using emulators.

I stopped playing MKDS last year I think, because I got bored, plus I didn't have the Wifi at that time, so it kinda ruined the game.

Quote from: Roz~ on October 11, 2009, 03:51:51 PM^ I heard from a friend that Persona 3 > Persona 4. Can't really judge though, as I've never tried any Persona so far, but I'll buy 'em when I'll have some money.
Persona 3, especially the FES-edition is an outstanding game, but it's no match for Persona 4, which is next to perfect. One of the problems Persona 3 had was the rhythm of the game: sometimes you'd have to grind before beating a plotted boss (a boss which is part of the story). But in Persona 4, you don't need to this at all; the rhythm is just perfect.

You really should try one, the games are not that expensive and in my critical opinion, the only games that you've been playing and match the quality of Persona 4, are:

Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Kingdom Hearts
Pokémon Platinum
Lufia & the Fortress of Doom

I hear you, grinding sucks. Since I've got to pay for many things, I can't buy it now, but when I'll be able to work again, I'll buy it.

Mystical Mountain is actually hell covered with Chrono Trigger mountain-tiles. Okay okay, I might exaggerate, but after finishing that sidequest - if you manage till the end, that is - you never want to walk that path again.

Super Mario Bros. the Lost Levels. I'm stuck on level 2-2. If you don't do this one jump exactly right the first time, you have no choice but to start over.

Also: floating Bloopers. In the actual air.

Also: floating Bloopers. In the actual air.

Finished that game about a week or 2 ago. With warps, of course. Nintendo was really evil with this game. Also, in World 2-2 (I believe it's a dark overworld level), if that jump also has a really high pipe over it, just look around for a hidden block, so you can go down that pipe and pass the leap of faith. If that's not the spot, then you'll see soon enough.

Reasons why this game is cruel:
There's a warp in World 5 that takes you back to World 1, you can actually go past some flags (easier with Luigi) to find another warp, 6-4 (should explain itself and 6-4 is the only reason why I can't beat the whole game), there are some warps that take you to the beginning, and there's this one spot, where if you don't jump on this one ceiling, you'll be trapped in a room and you can't go back, 'cause Lost Levels can't move the level left.

The only good thing I see is that in some Castle levels, if you have to go through a Specific path, and do it wrong, all enemies will disappear, and you start that section over (6-4 >:( )<<If anyone beats this level, please help me!
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Seeker on January 07, 2010, 05:32:36 PM
Yes, I already got the invisible block part. It's the jump from the block to the pipe that kills me. As well as getting on the block in the first place.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: universe-X on January 07, 2010, 06:02:36 PM
I'd try the game as Luigi first if I were you. Sure, there's the whole annoying sliding thing, but the jump on him is really good for getting to high places.

I'm actually still playing SMB2j on emu right now, recording movies, etc. My current record (which I acheived a few minutes ago) is 8:52 (36 seconds away from World Record :P ) with Luigi, but I can/will do better. My computer crashed on me after one of the save-states (449). And if you're aiming for perfection, you're still gonna have over 1000 frames of lag, too. But at least, now I know how to continue movies from a "bad" save state.

Also, my record with Mario is 8:42 (35 seconds away from the World Record :P ). And the Luigi WR can be improved too.

Well there is over 1 million guns in the game. Plus they have claptraps, little metal boxs on wheels that pass as robots. And a Catch a Ride station. You can play online multiplayer on the main game which is nice to see in a free-roamer. The game is fairly huge. And its absurdly dry humor everywhere you look, such as signs on every dumpster prohibiting the disposing of babies in the them. The graphics aren't quite top off the line like Mass Effect 2, but with a bit of cell shading in them, they're very nice. Lots of hours of game play and an awesome replay value, according to all of my friends who have it. It does have a few bugs I've seen but not enough to bring down the enjoyability of the game in any way. CATCH A RIDE!

Baten Kaitos ftw. It really is an amazing RPG.

I'm also playing monster hunter but I can't beat one quest so I've kinda taken a break. I have to capture this one kinda boss-like monster, but each time I try it I either don't weaken him enough for the trap to work or I end up killing it, which makes you fail the quest.

I'm in the middle of playing Super Mario Galaxy II right now (getting all the green stars) and I bought HeartGold, so ill start that when im done. Oh, and I can't forget about A Link to the Past for GBA.

Sounds like a bunch of fun... and i probably spent about 10 lives on the final level, wait until you get to world S, that is gonna kill you.

And Emerald, how can it be criticized, it offered the MOST amount of gameplay in Gen III, and Battle Frontier, hello? that was my favorite part!

Stone Cyclone Galaxy is probably my least favorite galaxy. Like the Mario Squared Galaxy, it was one of those really hard planets (ironically both are from the same galaxy) that is now a whole galaxy.

But Mario Squared had great music, so I didn't really care. The Luigi purple coin took me no time in SMG and SMG 2. I didn't find it that hard... Least favorite level in SMG 1 = Dreadnought ammo depot.

I completed the first game and have one more star in the second... which most of you probably know. lol.

thats why it was hard, that dumb comet medal. i always went for those on the level, never left a level without one!

Luckily I caught on pretty quickly that I was going to have to get them all eventually. Fleet Glide Galaxy was the hardest comet medal-wise.

And the Boo Moon green star 1 was irritating. Not that it was hard to find, just hard to get to. Some other green stars were difficult-ish too. If you don't know already, my Wii has a problem. Shuts down after about an hour of playtime. Then takes about a half hour or more to cool down. Otherwise I would have been done with the game already.

I don't care what anyone says, Gusty Garden cannot be beaten by Fluffy Bluff. Though I do love it. I love Good Egg, Battlerock, and Honeyhive...
I liked the final Bowser level in super mario galaxy 2 more than the original smg 1 version though.
I love Space Storm...Throwback... haha, no one's mentioned Hightail Falls being remixed from Super Mario World... though of course you were all thinking it. ;)
I like Fluffy Bluff and Sky Station, Bowser's Galaxy Generator...the mario theme remixed for Supermassive, Mario Squared... Haha. And I loooove Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 04, 2010, 06:08:15 PM
I hate Cyndaquil myself...
so ugly.
I love Chikorita and Totodile is a close second.

And I got to world 2 in NSMB Wii but kind of got out of it... I didn't think it was as fun as the DS one. Of course, it was the first Mario Bros game I've played for a console. The only other ones were for the NES/SNES re-released for the GBA. I've played the one where you can be Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad; Super Mario Bros 3 (my personal favorite); and Super Mario World (best music!).

Then it would make sense for you to view Partners in time that way. I remember when Superstar Saga came out, and all my friends had it... I was so envious, and then I got it and then I was happy!

Post by: SlowPokemon on July 07, 2010, 06:45:51 PM
See, when I got partners in time, it was one of the first ds games I got. I got my ds for my tenth birthday. It came with animal crossing ww, and my parents also got me Pokemon trozei (surprisingly fun sometimes).

Then I had some birthday money left over and my parents let me pick out a couple games. I got Super Mario 64 DS (I had loved the original), Partners in Time (looked kind of cool), and I think maybe Mario Kart DS, or that could have been later.

But I didn't know it was meant to be funny. It just struck me as hilarious. (Very memorable scene - Luigi in the Koopaseum [stadium in the desert]). So, I loved Bowser's Inside Story as well. Then I found out there was a first, so now I feel like I'm playing a prequel.

Downside (and also upside) - the graphics have not changed ONE BIT. Maybe the battles were improved a bit, but Partners in Time could easily have been made for the GBA, other than you using the x and y buttons. I loved that you didn't have to use the touch screen.

Also...

Quote from: SlowPokemon on July 07, 2010, 06:45:51 PMSee, when I got partners in time, it was one of the first ds games I got. I got my ds for my tenth birthday. It came with animal crossing ww, and my parents also got me Pokemon trozei (surprisingly fun sometimes).

Then I had some birthday money left over and my parents let me pick out a couple games. I got Super Mario 64 DS (I had loved the original), Partners in Time (looked kind of cool), and I think maybe Mario Kart DS, or that could have been later.

But I didn't know it was meant to be funny. It just struck me as hilarious. (Very memorable scene - Luigi in the Koopaseum [stadium in the desert]). So, I loved Bowser's Inside Story as well. Then I found out there was a first, so now I feel like I'm playing a prequel.

Downside (and also upside) - the graphics have not changed ONE BIT. Maybe the battles were improved a bit, but Partners in Time could easily have been made for the GBA, other than you using the x and y buttons. I loved that you didn't have to use the touch screen.

Also...
The arcade (which is actually in Little Fungitown ;)) is beast.

Wanna know something? I remember when Super Mario 64 came out (and im holding the cartridge as I type... ahh lost time)... I loved the DS version much better. Partners in Time was originally made for GBA, but when the DS came out, they stripped down the game and redid it to make it adaptable to the DS (and redid the storyline). I loved Bowser's Inside Story as a game... it was pretty epic! There's only certain video game series I even consider buying, if that... and the Mario and Luigi series is one of them! And I loved that game where you had to put the mario objects on the sides of the screen to get points (Hee beans galore)

I really don't like a generation rather than a game/games in a series (like I love Blue (glitches)/Silver(Johto)/Emerald (battle frontier)/FireRed(Recounts my experiences in Blue)/ HeartGold (replaced Gold cause of better gameplay)

I'd rather have the DSi XL, I've never had any DS besides the regular and the DS lite. My current DS's hinges are... broken. I have to hold it up with my fingers otherwise it will close.

No, being addicted to Pokemon isn't a bad thing.

I've been training the Bulbasaur I got from Professor Oak in SS. Level 21 Ivysaur now. I'm training in the wild - admittedly while using Lucky Egg. I was "lucky" enough (pun very much intended) to find a Chansey with one. That, when added to my Light Ball-bearing Pikachu, makes me extreeemely lucky.

My friend has been using noteflight and has arranged Fluffy Bluff Galaxy for random instruments! He has also arranged Gusty Garden, Rainbow Road, and Wario Stadium.

If anyone's interested, I may post the links. :P

Mm picked up my Diamond game again as well, seems I've got a Lucky Egg in the bag there :D. Can't remember if it was actually lucky though, could be that I've been farming it for hours... But now the dilemma, should I pick Diamond or HeartGold as "main" game, as in, try and get all erm, how many are there these days? Kinda sucks, since Sapphire used to be the main, I've put quite a bit of effort into it to fill the entire Hoenn dex and a few oldschool pokes once I got LeafGreen. What should I do?

Oh and something else, is there any way to get the pokes in your pokedex for generation IV without actually spotting them, since you can only request pokes you have in your pokedex on the Wifi? For example, I'd like a Bulbasaur but can't search for it because #1 is empty in my national dex.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 09, 2010, 01:41:38 PM
Nope, there's no way...

And Diamond would be the easier to find all the Pokemon, but HeartGold and SoulSilver are so much better.

My vote - HeartGold.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

Dragonite (Dratini from Dragon's Den) - Quirky nature.
Ivysaur (Bulbasaur from Professor Oak) - Quirky nature.
Hitmontop (Tyrogue from Mt. Mortar) - Quirky Nature.

Post by: DrP on July 09, 2010, 07:04:39 PM
Venusaur may pack the power, but I think Ivysaur is the furthest I'll go (like the Chikorita line too. Bayleef is too adorable to evolve).

Bulbasaur can be pretty awesome!
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 09, 2010, 07:06:51 PM
If I work up the nerve to evolve my Bulbasaur, I have to go all the way. ;) Same goes for Bayleef.

I did play through Blue Version (still have the game) training only my Bulbasaur. I didn't let it evolve until it learned Solarbeam (level 48) so now I have a Venusaur with premature attacks :D

I trained a Shuckle to level 54 in Emerald - Shuckle has the best Def/Sp.Def in the game in case you didn't know - and it knew Attract, Rest, Protect, and...get this...TOXIC. Also had the Sturdy ability. I then found out about the cloning glitch and got like eight of them! I was going to migrate one or two to my Platinum before restarting, but I forgot and deleted the game.  :(

They aren't like that. they really have good, detailed information!

Those are the ones I've come up with:

Kyogre's Water Spout with Choice Specs in the rain

Poisoned Guts Ursaring with Choice Band uses Metronome and gets Explosion (I've done some calculations and this seems like the strongest of the bunch)

Guts Machamp's Focus Punch while burned and yielding Choice Band

Choice Band Breloom's 1 HP Reversal

Choice Band Swarm Scizor's 5th Fury Cutter

And as for my slating of Bulbapedia, I mainly meant the forums and their Facebook Page. I love the wiki, but I tend to stand off Pokémon forums in general. The Serebii forums are even worse.

I think Smogon could help with this issue if I asked them, but... well, I'm busy enough with forums already, don't wish to join another one.

Also, I think Hippowdon's Spit Up with 3 stockpiles is up there (can't be choiced, though, but with a Silk Scarf, you get almost the same effect). As is any Ice Ball/Rollout, because of the massive power it racks up eventually.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Cobraroll on July 11, 2010, 11:54:05 AM
Why Miltank?

Spit Up has base power 300 with 3 stockpiles. Take that off Hippowdon's 355 attack, boosted by a Silk Scarf (or Life Orb, that's stronger)

Other Giga Impact abusers include Slaking, with an attack stat almost twice the one of Miltank, and Snorlax, who outclasses Miltank in almost every aspect (bar recovery). Smogon is down at the moment so I can't check, but I can't come up with any reasons why Miltank's attacks should be at the top, strength-wise.

Smogon is down at the moment so I can't check, but I can't come up with any reasons why Miltank's attacks should be at the top, strength-wise.

I said GIVEN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS... of course Miltank can't pull it off, but we can't talk at level 100 in all cases, you know.. if you want level 100, then Hippowdon would be strong. I have to admit, Theres a few Pokémon I really cant vouch for cause I have either never trained them, or just never really studied them (and Hippowdon and Slaking are both in that category). I stick to other then normal or ground types normally. But have you forgotten Rampardos? Rampardos can have 471 attack at level 100, making it the strongest Pokémon out there, and therefore the strongest with Giga Impact, Rollout and the other demanding attacks (and this is on sheer attack base). This comes at Slaking's mere 460 and Hippowdon at 355 (but the stockpile action does change things a bit). and who knows, Miltank can be max attack at level 100 with attack of 284 and Hippowdon being slightly above its norm and be at 250... it is a possibility you know!

Forgive my rant, but if you're looking at strength by numbers, Rampardos has it... Also since Porygon-Z and Alakazam have the same Sp. Attack rating, Porygon-Z's Hyper Beam can be matched with a Hyper Beam from Alakazam, but Alakazam would be able to withstand the Hyper Beam a lot better since its Sp. Defense is higher than Porygon-Z's
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Cobraroll on July 11, 2010, 12:38:08 PM
One word: STAB. Same Type Attack Bonus.

Porygon-Z's Hyper Beam is boosted by its Adaptability, making attacks of its own type twice as strong (normally only 1.5 x). You sure know this. Alakazam doesn't get STAB on Hyper Beam, and doesn't learn any Psychic attack with a base power of 150 or upwards.

Rampardos' Giga Impact would have a base power of 150 coming off 471 attack, whereas Slaking's would have a base power of 225, coming off 460 attack, thanks to STAB.

Anyway, I'm sure Rampardos' Head Smash is way up there, as he gets STAB on it. Base Power 225, coming off 471 attack, choiced... still no match for Ursaring's Explosion, though. Base power 375 coming off almost 590 attack, and choiced.

Sorry for ranting back.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on July 11, 2010, 12:48:55 PM
I forgot about STAB...

and no problem about ranting. People need to have discussions to prove the second strongest Pokémon. The Pokémon creators do need to make either a 100 attack or higher move for Psychic and Dark Types... they're getting the short end of the stick on a bunch of things
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 11, 2010, 06:20:56 PM
Venusaur and Gardevoir are levels 41-43.

Right now Venusaur knows Double-Edge, PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, and Petal Dance.

Here's what I'm considering for final Venusaur move set -
Toxic (good in any case), Leech Seed (LOOOOVE this move), Petal Dance (for a decent STAB attack), and either Sludge Bomb (if I'm going for a slightly more offensive set) or Swagger/Substitute (for more defensive).

Defensive-wise - Good moves, but fairly useless against another Grass/Poison-type.

Offensive-wise - Thinking about teaching it Petal Dance, Sludge Bomb, third special move (would go with Double Edge but its Sp Atk is far higher) such as Hyper Beam, and then keeping Toxic if I can get the TM or Leech Seed.

Any suggestions (please try to do so without criticizing my previously mentioned ideas)?

Hmm, if you really want to play with Leech Seed, then you may want to go with a support moveset consisting of
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Sludge Bomb
For the last slot I'd suggest Energy Ball since Venusaur Sp.Atk is higher than is Atk, so it'd be better to teach it special moves, unless you plan to teach it Swords Dance. You might want to teach it Petal Dance instead of EB.
I think that could be a good moveset given the kind of moves you want to use.

I agree, Energy Ball would be a better bet for Venusaur. It's my favorite offensive grass move (other than solarbeam, of course)

I say "WOULD BE torture" because I haven't used my Wii's internet because my Wi-Fi works for my DS but not for my Wii. o_-

My DSi internet has no problems... and cause its on a bigger screen, its all good! They came out with a blue one and im mad... im stuck with a pink one (actually, more a merlot color (which I like))

Energy ball is probably my favorite grass type move as well because it's practical (second to SolarBeam, mimicking you ;)) but I'll save the tm and keep Petal Dance with Venusaur. :P

...What's y'all's favorite city/town in all the regions? (Not music, actual town ;))

Mine...
Kanto - Lavender Town because of the lonely feeling I get there, and Celadon because of the fun atmosphere.
Johto - Azalea because it feels...cozy, peaceful, and homelike, and Ecruteak because of same reasons of Lavender. There's also one patch of ground in Ecruteak that makes me sad. It has the "Welcome to Ecruteak" sign on it, and there's a huge patch of ground that is more than big enough for a house... but there is none. Gets me wondering what used to be there? Someone's house, maybe? Was it burned down in the fire that consumed Burned Tower? Are there sad spirits haunting the grounds? :P Or is that just me?
Hoenn - Sootopolis because it feels mystic...
Sinnoh - Canalave because of the library ;)

Sorry if this is off-topic, just a thought...

Base power of a move is not everything you know. You must think about other things while "creating" a moveset for you mons. ;) Even if it is stronger, you're locked on Petal Dance for 2-3 turns, which can be against you sometimes, especially if you'd need to sleep powder or leech seed a foe.

Not to mention Petal Dance, eventually causes confusion (but the pokémon can hold a berry to eradicate the problem)

Favorite Parts
Kanto - Probably Viridian cause it feels welcoming and Celadon cause it really has too much going on... dept store, game corner, gym, apartment building
Johto -  Azalea Town (cause my favorite tree flower is an Azalea) or Ecruteak, cause there's so much history there and the bell tower outside is STUNNING
Hoenn - Mossdeep City (cause space exploration is amazing) or Rustboro, cause it reminds me of Seattle (my favorite US city)
Sinnoh - Veilstone (cause its like Celadon... and kinda shady!) or Canalave, cause it feels like a place close to home (and probably fresh sushi out of the water)

Post by: Cobraroll on July 13, 2010, 01:28:44 AM
My favourite towns?

Kanto - Pewter, Lavender, Fuschia or perhaps even Cinnabar. Those are the places I would really want to visit in real life, not that there's much to do there in the games. Game-wise, Celadon wins it for me.

Johto - Blackthorn or Olivine. Mahogany is cozy as well. Cianwood looks just depressing. Game-wise, Goldenrod.

Hoenn - Slateport, no doubt. Then Mossdeep and Lilycove. Hoenn has so many nice coastal towns!

Sinnoh - Mixed bag, this. I never got to like Sinnoh that much. Don't know why, it's just not as atmospheric as the others. Possible Canalave, as you said, but I don't really like that one much either. Jubilife could have been way better, if they had given it a more central location and more things to do. Right now, it's just a big ghost town.

Orre - Gateon Port, or Pyrite Town. Oh, the atmosphere of Pyrite! The Under is cool too.


Least favourite, thrown in for good measure:

Kanto - Viridian. Not really much to do there. Generic town.

Johto - Cherrygrove. Viridian clone. Also, Violet isn't a favourite of mine. Neither is Cianwood.

Hoenn - Oldale. Really, the only city with nothing to do in, not close to any secret base locations, and a clone of Viridian.

Sinnoh - Jubilife. It has potential, but ends up being a chost town. The Global Terminal might be there, but that's it. It's not close to anything, you can't buy or do anything there, and why the bell didn't it get the Dept. Store? Contest hall? Other than that, Sandgem. Really, Game Freak, we don't need Viridian City in every game. Sunyshore is not cool either. The walkways kinda ruin the city. If they had made it more like Sootopolis, carved the roads carefully into the cliffs while minimal damage to them, instead of plonking a road over them, it would have been a lot better.

Orre - Hmm... Phenac, perhaps. It's not a bad place, but it's the least awesome of the (very few) towns and cities in Orre.

-Being sucked into giant things' stomachs. (All three)
-Fighting the final bosses back to back (Partners in Time/Superstar Saga)
-Professor E. Gadd is involved (Partners in Time/Superstar Saga
-Bowser is possessed by the villain (Partners in Time/Superstar Saga)

There are a whole many more plot twists that are reused, but I don't feel like listing them all.

Quote from: Cobraroll on July 13, 2010, 01:28:44 AMCobraroll's long list of towns and cities

I agree, the coastal towns are nice in Hoenn, but im not a huge fan of the coast (growing up on it with crazed people my age obsessed with the beach and all... me, not a huge fan... so that instantly let out Vermilion, Slateport (music is pretty cool)... the more laid back towns and cities there)

But i see your point with Viridian, its nothing... maybe someday in Gen VII or something it may have another purpose somehow! But my response to Viridian is probably the best I could offer... its welcoming and a gateway to the beginning of an adventure (though Pallet Town shares that responsibility, too)

and why does everything go on while I'm asleep... its not funny (though it is pretty funny when I find out I have 10 responses to reply to)

I'm giving up :D
I'm going back to playing the ridiculously easy Partners in Time. After that is Bowser's Inside Story.

I LOOOOOVE the scene in Partners in Time where Mario is talking to Kylie Koopa in the desert, and Luigi and the babies are fighting the one Shroob in the background - It's hilarious.

Are you training a Sunkern? If so, good choice. ^_^

And I took a leaf out of your book and started my HeartGold. Not in the orthodox way, however. I started with Chikorita and traded from my SoulSilver eggs of: Cyndaquil, Totodile, Larvitar, and Dratini.
I'm in Cherrygrove City and they are all level 8 - but Dratini is level 4.

I'm actually going to catch my sixth Pokemon. I want an ice-type - considering Mamoswine (my most probable option) or Jynx. Jynx is extremely good with the right moves, but as it no longer learns any Psychoc-type moves, I'd either need to use a TM or raise it as a Smoochum. Mamoswine is just awesome.

You SUCK! :D
I'm still attempting to beat the final level! I got all the way to the hammer bros' planet once...then my freakin' Wii decided to show off its "Power Off" issue!

On the plus side, though, I got my Wii's Wi-Fi to work.

Sounds awesome! If you didnt have a Wii problem, you probably couldve been able to beat it so much earlier!

Now that im done with that, I can focus more on important tasks at hand (and waiting anxiously for job offers to come flying in)

You have to dispatch someone with a specific class. When they ask you about someone who can uses a hammer, you need to dispatch a Green Mage, etc.

Umm, that would explain why you think it's easy (which, for the most part, it is).

But there are a small few levels that just really IRKED me.
And I mean IRKED.

Such as the 242nd star.  :(

Yeah. Thats the fact I love in SMG and hate in SMG2. The story of the 1st one, even being very weak, its more captivating that this one. In the 1st one, I felt that the game had a Beggining - Middle - End, and in this one I just feel like middle...

Yap. Ive heard so many stupid thing like "Portugal? Its a spanish/brazilian province right?" or "Portugal is in Africa"....

Well, I almost dont like Super Mario ends because of their predictability...
I miss the real good Super Mario games, like SM64 or SM Sunshine. Those were really hard and challenging. The Galaxy saga has more stars (a bit more than the double) but the levels can be beaten in 2,5 or 10 mins... In the other games the stars were harder to get and the levels were bigger and has more stars (8 or 7 in each level). This games are now very easy to beat and the levels (although the levels are really well created), they are very small and with so many little stars in each level that you cant appreciate them well...
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: universe-X on July 17, 2010, 10:14:05 AM
My thoughts exactly. There's not much exploration in SMG2 with only 2-3 stars in each galaxy.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

Super Mario 64... I was playing it recently...

Yep! I agree. I loved the games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, where there were fewer levels, but you can collect like 8 stars in each level

And only idiots think Portugal is in Africa (and I have to admit, Portugal is better than Spain... because Lisbon so beats Madrid!)

Okay - you can start out as Phanpy, Riolu, or Shinx if you're a boy and you choose "i played time/darkness" in the quiz. You can also choose them as partners.

Then Skitty, Eevee, and Vulpix are only for girls. xP

You can be anyone out of Pikachu, any starter, or the six mentioned above.

You can't be Munchlax or Meowth, but you can choose them as partners.

Is that what you were looking for? :P

What's really depressing is when you do like eight and lose on the last one. x(

I'd recommend training in the dragon maze at the dojo when it opens - When i did, i didn't stop training to level 25. :D

Favorite line in the game right there. Combined with Wigglytuff's theme music it's epic.

One of the producers was interviewed about Time/Darkness:

He was asked what Pokemon he would like to be and why.

He said Wigglytuff, because he wanted to know what it felt like to be a genius.

He was asked what the first thing he would do as that Pokemon would be.

His response: "YOOM-TAH!" *screen flashes twice*

Playing the Sims 3 and Soulcalibur 3. I still can't get all the trophies in SC3...though I do enjoy the music in that game.

The Sims 3 was pretty disappointing in my opinion, first Sims game with no piano and a severe lack of stuff. I don't feel like buying an expansion pack for things they should have included in the first place!

Meowth knows Hypnosis as an Egg move. :)

Wait what? You can't get him in EoS? Then you say you have him as a partner? Are you saying that you recruited him or are you saying that you can't get him?
Because I saw him in the roster, I just have to choose a partner and say "No" when it says "Do you want this partner?" and it refreshes the list.

Trying to be secret?
Anyway, what KefkaticFanatic said was true. Sure, it may be a way for Nintendo to get a little profit. But, IMO, Mystery Dungeon has comparatively more plot than the main series. In the main series, you do pretty much the same in every game. Go around getting 8 badges, fighting the elite four, yatta yatta. But in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, it's different for each game. There are other reasons that Mystery Dungeon is a very good spin-off series, but I'm too lazy and busy to post them all.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on July 23, 2010, 06:51:38 PM
^This. I never thought I'd like those games when I first played them, but I really was surprised, and in a good way. The story may not be omgawsm, but it still is original, and as Oni-Link said, it's more varied than just get the badges, which is a huge plus imho. The fact that you get to play as pokemon instead of a plain trainer is pretty fun too. So yeah, calling them unimportant games... Dude, that makes no sense at all. There are no "unimportant games" in a franchise; they just tried to innovate. Anyway, it's your opinion, but if you continue thinking like this I can assure you that you'll miss a ton of great games.

So I am going to take the position of a Vampire Weekend song, I Stand Corrected.

So, therefore, I hereby officially retract my statement calling PMD Games "unimportant" or any other form of degrading diction. The fact of the matter is, playing as a Pokémon and watching them take positions of humans is quite humorous, I might add. Though I may not play this as my main form of entertainment, I still see it as "quality" (and yes, important). The graphics quality may need a slight boost in the next game. It actually reminded me of a the old 2-D Zelda games exploring the dungeons (but instead of Staflos, its Pokémon)

^One thing with 'eye, though:

Look at the time between the movie release and the game's release.

Most games based on movies are rushed, to tie with the movie's release. Quality is not important, what matters is that the game markets the movie and vice versa. Goldeneye took the premise of a long since released movie and turned it into a great game. More game makers should do that. Look at the LOTR games, or the Star Wars games, for example. Playing on the movie universe rather than the story.

Still. If they only are able to start work on a video game earlier to create a better game. I only saw GoldenEye for the first time... oh 2 days ago (well, all the way through for that matter). but the game is pretty awesome, too!

My first game was Lufia & the Fortress of Doom, such an amazing RPG <3 I was 3 at the time and didn't understand anything, but damn I loved that game.

Quote from: drpamplemousse on July 24, 2010, 04:24:25 PMI've never played any Mega Man stuff. I'm not a huge Capcom fan anywho; im not a huge fan of the guy in a robotic suit (girl in a robot suit is different)... but i may give it a try one of these days just for giggles

You should. Mega Man games are amazing. You know, the more I see you talking about video games, the more I feel like you've wrong assumptions about them. And Zelda games are actually pretty easy. The only hard thing is the damn water temple in OoT. ;_;

I was 6 when I first beat the game, and IIRC it took me a week to be able to get to the boss. Of course now it's easier, but it still pisses me off. I hope it'll be a little easier on the 3DS.

There are reasons why I have wrong assumptions... because I dont know anything about them. im just assuming by title or by pictures i've seen. I've never been a huge vg nerd like some people (im not pointing fingers here)... im just good at the video games i happen to really play. I try an give the best I know to my knowledge

And i was just giving an example that LoZ games are harder (and require more thought) than Mario games.
And yes, that Water Temple was FREAKING hard... plus it kind of creeps me out a little. i hate those crab things (their name is escaping me) and the clams... and the spiky things. working with only the hookshot/longshot under water was kinda tough (because im not the best at the aiming thing)

Yep... in my business, you have to make assumptions for everything (its an economist's job to assume)... but i know i shouldn't in these cases

I have played Professor Layton and the Curious village for a bit, and it IS geared towards younger teenagers, but I can still mess with my brain a little with those riddles. Not to mention i like the scenery and stuff... it reminds me of un petit village in France... and the music is pretty cool!

from now on, if i say something that is an eyeraiser... just ignore it (unless its in all caps... then i probably mean it)

You just said it yourself, you still mess your brain a little with those riddles. The game's graphics make it looks like it's a game designed for children. However, kids probably wouldn't be able to solve the riddles in that game. L'habit ne fait pas le moine.

My top three video game series:

1. Pokemon
2. Mario
3. Professor Layton

Most of my favorite games are Pokemon or Mario, but Professor Layton, despite the fact that only two games have been released in the U.S...

The storyline and replay value (not to mention the epic music) in both of those games, plus the fact that there are five games and one movie released in Japan, are enough to tell me that this is a very promising series. :) They're incredibly addicting, and tremendously well done. The animated cutscenes especially leave me speechless. And I love the bonuses at the end that let you watch the clips over and listen to the music tracks.

I'm a Professor Layton fanatic... if I can be called that after playing two games.

I'll do some literal translations here, just to show you the difference.  
L'habit ne fait pas le moine ~> The habit does not make the monk.
L'habit ne fait pas de moine ~> The habit does not make a monk.

I think it's pretty obvious when put that way. :P

Le/la/les usually are the equivalent of "the" in English, if I'm not mistaken. That's why, in that case, we say l'habit ne fait pas le moine.

I love to old Goldenrod sooooooo much better, but that's just me. they made it more... bouncy

Ecruteak was really nice and Cianwood can put you to sleep if listened for a ten minute loop.

What I really do love is the Viridian/Pewter/Saffron theme... I so want to play that on vibes right now its not funny!
The new Celadon theme is messed up... sounds too... marching band esque (though marching band music isnt bad... its just not fitting here when everything else is sort of a jazzy feel)

In Okami, the main protagonist is the goddess Amaterasu who's a white wolf. Basically, a 100 years ago, Shiranui, a white wolf, and Nagi defeated the demon Orochi, but now it resurfaces. So you're basically traveling all across Nippon to get rid of Orochi's curse by slaying demons. I'm not gonna spoil everything, but if you have a Wii or a PS2, you NEED to get that game. It truly is a masterpiece. I've never tried the Wii version, but you use a magic brush throughout the game, so it must be fun to use it with the wiimote.

And I'll let the DC2 explaining things to SFK. He knows the game more than I do since I didn't really have time to play.

Of course you do - you gain Athlete Points, which can be exchanged for prizes like a different evolution stone every day of the week, rare candies, heart scales (only way to get them other than smashing rocks or catching Luvdisc, excluding trading them from Platinum), metal coats, dragon scales, etc.

Did you know if you do a link Pokeathlon, you get 500 extra points afterward instead of the usual 100?

And I hate the typical Pokemon that people use for their teams. I'm using one of them, true, but oh well...

I hate "strong" Pokemon (really aren't that great) such as Snorlax, Typhlosion (EVERYone has a Typhlosion!), the red Gyarados (how cheap can you get???), and ESPECIALLY Tyranitar! PEOPLE! TYRANITAR IS NOT THAT GREAT! I'm admittedly using Dragonite, but seriously???

And you do NOT need a Fire-type to beat the game! Aaargh! I feel like I'm preaching to no one here!  >:(
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on July 26, 2010, 08:12:34 AM
Haha, true. But Typhlosion's the strongest starter pokemon, so I guess that's why. But there are also a lot of people using Feraligatr. Anyway, I love fire-type, but not Typhlosion that much. I prefer good ol' Arcanine. And I was thinking, since a lot of people here have either Platinum or HG/SS, it could be fun to battle against each other one day, just to see how well we'd fare.  :)

I've gotten fairly good responses from my internet (maybe because it is pretty fast)

But going back about 20 posts... Typhlosion may be the strongest, but I LOVE that evolutionary line to death... if Squirtle wasn't my favorite Pokémon at all, it would then go on to the Cyndaquil-Quilava-Typhlosion line! Not to mention, they all look pretty awesome.

I have taken Snorlax off my team to make way for Sunkern, but Dragonite is remaining (I may switch everyone out for a Bayleef/Poliwrath/Growlithe team)

You're lucky enough to be playing with your next door neighbor.  I have FiOS internet yet still have lag when playing with somebody in the adjacent state.  It's especially ridiculous because I can play TF2 with people from Russia and the UK and not have any lag, even when in servers based in those countries.

our local stuff is better than FiOS... maybe that's why. i've played with people in Washington without any lag on my end. Everything is wrapped in a shroud of mystery, but in general, Nintendo doesn't really have a great system for online play. Microsoft has a much better handle with things when I was playing COD 6 at a friends house with some of his friends from Texas... no problems/lag time there!

Super Mario Kart was as good as MK64 imho. Good ol' days. <3

I like the Wii version cause you can go globally on Nintendo's s***ernets, but if I have to pick, it would be between Double Dash and MK64. Both are so different, yet so fantastic

I do have to admit that I like most of the new levels from MKW, and some from MKDS
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 26, 2010, 07:55:01 PM
MK 64 was my first one. :)

I'm very glad I started playing piano at a fairly early age - I was nine.

I've always loved it. :)

But when I started I used to think I couldn't read sheet music... The one day, something clicked, and I could read it amazingly. Weird. Maybe not.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on July 28, 2010, 01:23:14 PM
same (with the music on the site)...

I started at age 5... so ha! Then after third grade, I tried guitar... failed, then went to Violin... failed, then I went to clarinet and succeeded and I was always doing some small piano stuff... and now I just teach myself (like I did Oboe and Flute)
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

I began playing 3 years ago, but I was self-taught, and I wasn't really good at reading piano sheets, so I decided a teacher could be helpful. I still suck at reading sheets, but hey, at least my playing got better. :P

Pokemon Mystery Dungeo Blue Rescue Team (Nintendo DS) or Red Rescue Team (GBA).

Cool. I'll figure it out. If I could figure out the first 241 stars of SMG 2, then I shouldn't have too much trouble. And I'm guessing that there are 120 Shine Sprites (which are pretty much just stars in disguise).
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on July 30, 2010, 11:23:18 AM
Yes, basically. Once you get enough Sprites, there should be cutscenes when you return to the plaza to show new places. I really dont like Ricco Harbor... my favs are probably Serina Beach or Bianco Hills... maybe the Pinta Village, too!

Lapras is actually pretty tough for some people.
Most my Pokemon were level 100 so he was about medium, though.
He's not as hard as the trainers in the Battle Frontier, since they HAVE to be at the same level you do.

Noooope. Red is based on Ash, actually, not the other way around. Ash was a Pokemon trainer from the anime, and the Pokemon game creators like to model the games after the anime. Coincidence that Red has all of Ash's Pokemon? I think know not.

Yeah, that sucks. Usually 18 of them are random things happening to them, and during the other 2 a Pokemon evolves. Woo.

Yeah, but since so many people thought Red is in fact Ash - kinda like in Pokemon Yellow - they must have given Ash's anime team for that reason. I think.

Red's team has potential, but he does little with it. Why not do like the trainer in Trainer House and use Pokémon who set up? Like 99% of all the pro battlers? If that Lapras had used Calm Mind, for instance, or Venusaur Swords Dance, and they had actually held items that would help their case, it would have been a lot better. They should make him hard to beat, not just moderately difficult.

Oh my frickin' God, you are sooo confused, Oni.

Yes, the anime came after the game, but the anime came BEFORE Gold and Silver. They gave Red Ash's team and I didn't read that on some idiot's opinion site, I read it on an interview with the creators of Pokemon SoulSilver and HeartGold, quite a while ago on the OFFICIAL POKEMON WEBSITE. If you would stop being so out to get me and prove me wrong, and stop to think about it, you would realize that what I was saying made sense.

The interview can be found HERE (http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/vg_hgss_interview-2010-03-31/) and there is a part about the anime. It's the last little question in bold.

So please, why don't YOU do some research before you shoot me down?

EDIT: No, they don't actually say they gave Red Ash's team... but look at their replies...

"For example, we might say, "let’s do it this way in the game" because it was like that in a movie."

"Yes, of course, I watch the TV episodes and play the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Sometimes I draw inspiration for expressions, stages, and move names that I use in game development from them."

This is clearly a misunderstanding. I guess SlowPoke knew that the game came before the animé, and thus Red as a character is the basis of Ash. However, the Red you meet in G/S/C/HHG/SS is based on Ash. Right? Both were right, both were wrong.

Pokemon developers sure make things confusing, don't they?
Especially in Mystery Dungeon.
Things.
Don't.
Make.
Sense.
For example: There's a chestnut trap in the game that makes chestnuts fall from trees and stuff.
THEN WHY ARE THERE TRAPS IN THE CLOUDS?
WHERE DO THE CHESTNUTS FALL FROM? RANDOM PLANES?
Also, there's sandstorms in regular forests.

The game people came before the anime people: Ash, Misty, Brock, May, Dawn... etc. Gamefreak put in Ash's Pokémon into Red's character because those six pokémon are quite powerful when not trained to that high of a level (especially if you EV train Pokémon while leveling up)... and like Slow said, they just wanted to give Red Pokémon that people could recognize as Ash (because Red's Anime Counterpart is Ash, as is Blue/Gary, etc...) It gives people the option to bridge both worlds

Shinx learns Crunch and Discharge, which are very useful. Crunch is strong, and Discharge attacks all the enemies in the room. Link it with Thunderbolt, and it's awesome. (As in thunderbolt at the top of the move list, discharge second)

And Lucario has never impressed me very much. Too overused. Same reason I don't like Tyranitar.

The game has so many text/script error, though!

Other goofs:

Ann calls the female innkeeper "Louis". The innkeeper's name is Ruby.
The weather forecast sprite has terrible English in the winter.
After Ruby serves her dish in the cooking contest (for oven dishes), the game freezes.
Dr. Trent refers to the female nurse as "he" repeatedly.
The old lady Nina also has terrible grammar "The [FARMER NAME] place has no sock?" When she's done: "I sent it to the [FARMER NAME] place."
My cat and dog fell asleep in a field of sown seeds. They were trapped when the seeds sprouted the next and I had to wait until the harvest to free them.
Removal of the "Best Friend" system which allowed the female player to marry one of the "special girls" and have a child together.



There's a lot fewer glitches in HM: Cute than the boy version...some of the most stupid glitches there include:

Billion dollar glitch: All you have to do is send a team of fishermen to the ocean in the winter. The money appears in your wallet the next day.
Horses can be milked.
The kitchen can be built on top of your cat and dog.
The game does not remember to give you some key items.
The game does not remember the number of animals you kill (this is necessary for you to marry the Witch Princess).
If you marry the mermaid and the pond is destroyed during a storm, she disappears and doesn't come back even if you rebuild the pond.

Lesson: Don't buy the games D:

It takes 1,250,000 to get to level 100, so you can't really expect fast results -__- EV training that is probably a nightmare. I'd use rare candy when I get to the 90s though. Do you have 2 cartridges? Why don't you trade it to another one and train it there?
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on August 16, 2010, 06:52:02 PM
Ev training does not imply leveling your Pokemon to lvl 100. I usually don't since anyway they are automatically brought to that level during Wi-fi battles. Otherwise it's a waste of time even when using rare candies.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Ruto on August 16, 2010, 07:03:18 PM
I just EV train my Pokemon to give me an slight edge towards the game's trained Pokemon. Something about having maxed EV for Speed and Special Attack for a Gengar with a favorable Speed nature and IV helps when I use it against another Ghost type in the game. It probably won't do much when I use that Gengar against a human player though.

I've been obsessed with this system since it came in in RS?  It makes training real painful though...
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

I have Pokerus, but only the Macho Brace for the item.

I can just press "A" repeatedly and fight like 100-something Roselias but it's the fact the EV counter is invisible that really bothers me. And then there's the amount of time it takes to grow the berries in case I fight the "wrong Pokemon".

You could use moves. What I mean is, if you can OHKO some pokemon with a move and it has 15 PP, then you know you've killed 15 Pokemon and how many EVs you got. If you can't OHKO them, just use a move once every fight. It may seems complicated but it's actually really useful. I used to do that when I didn't have an Action Replay.
Using Power Items makes it easier to count though, because when you have the Pokerus + one of those, you get 10 EVs when you kill a Pokemon that usually gives only 1.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SuperRiolu on August 17, 2010, 07:14:40 AM
if you use PokéRus + Macho Brace + an attack that gets you a OHKO, it can raise your EVs quite quickly? (I think the max you can get is 12 EVs, because I don't know who gives out 4 EVs if you defeat them. Is there a Pokémon?
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on August 17, 2010, 07:18:31 AM
Pokerus + Macho Brace gives you (x*4) Evs. Basically, if you kill a Pokemon that would give you 1 EV, you get 4, 2 EVs, you get 8, etc. And no Pokemon gives 4 EVs when defeated. The maximum is 3 Evs, but usually they also gives other EVs. Ex : 3 EVs in Atk, 1 in Spd. That's why it's more useful to train with the Power Items and the Pokerus.

The items that were introduced in Diamond and Pearl that only raise the EVs of one stat? So say you use the Power Bracer to promote, do you gain the EVs from the Pokémon + the 8 Attack EVs (assuming that you have PokéRus)?

I usually use a Macho Brace when training up to Level 50, unless they have a significantly lowered stat, then I use a Power Item at Lv 40. At Level 50, I begin to sculpt their EVs where needed, and I put the Macho Brace back on at Lv 70

You really have no idea about how they work do you? x) It works that way : (x + 4) * 2
So if you kill a Goldeen which gives you 1 Atk EV, then you get (1 + 4) * 2, which gives you 10 EVs. If you kill a Seaking, then you get (2 + 4) * 2 which gives you 12 EVs. It's faster than using the Macho Brace and it makes a lot more easier when you want to keep track of how many EVs your 'mons have.

If you happen to know the common English Pokémon names, then go here (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_effort_value_yield)

You really hit the jackpot when you battle a Pokémon like Charizard, who gives 3 Sp Attack Points and then you use the special attack Power Item, and you get 14 EVs added to Sp attack!

Or if you can Action Replay (if you have it over there) a constant rebattle and want to build attack, there is a guy on the 1st floor of the Glitter Lighthouse who has a Noctowl. That's two attack EVs (and if you have a Power Bracer and Pokérus, it means 12 EVs!)

A Pokemon can have 510 EVs in total, and a maximum of 252 EVs in one stat. For example you could train a Pokemon with 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def. 4 EVs = 1 more point in a stat so usually people only give 508 EVs to their Pokemon, because the remaining 2 are useless.

I think it would be hard to keep track of 6 Pokémon unless I kept marking them down after each and every battle.

The RNG program is a tool that was designed to tell you when you should start your game to get the results you want. For example, if you want a Shiny Egg, you input the gender/nature/ability you want it to have. Here's an example of result I got when going for a shiny male Shuckle w/ ability 1:
Date : 2010/08/17
Time : 10:24:50
Delay : 676
Frame : 9

Looking at that, I know that I must change the date and time of my DS to August 17th, 10:24. I need to hit a delay of 676 and my egg is on frame 9.
You're probably going to need Pikatimer, an awesome tool that help you hit your delay.

Yep, you can download Pikatimer on Smogon. The guides are there to get you started; but to me they were incomplete. There are things I had to find out myself in order to be able to RNG. Anyway, you'll see when you read them.

Thanks Roz and Dr Grapefruit!!! I will look in to everything (I do know a lot about RNGing, so dont hesitate to ask me, DP!)

That's why Gamefreak made those separate Power Items, so they can have a larger EV boost than just the Macho Brace, which covers all around stuff.

What Pokemon have you bred using the RNG so far? I'm kinda curious about what other people are breeding.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SuperRiolu on August 17, 2010, 02:30:07 PM
I bred a Shiny Happiny with 31/30/30/29/30/30 Stats, with a Serious Nature, then I bred a Buizel, with Perfect IVs, and I also bred a Gible, Carvanha, Cacnea and Slowpoke. I'm currently working on a perfect Dratini, but that will have to wait until tomorrow
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on August 17, 2010, 02:35:28 PM
thats a nice list.

Im thinking of breeding a Horsea as my first Pokémon... a very underused Pokémon from what I've seen so far
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 17, 2010, 06:31:29 PM
Nah, pretty overused, actually.

And I am training Miltank with Lucky Egg... helps a bit, for sure. And the Pokemon holding it was a Lv20 Corsola... I'm thinking about swapping it for Sudowoodo! But I can't make up my mind! Dx any suggestions?

Yep, that's a nice list. Here's what I've bred so far :
NU : Girafarig w/ HP Fighting, Buizel, Absol, Shuckle, Spheal, Voltorb, Ralts
UU/BL : Skorupi, Cubone, Zubat w/ HP Ground 70, Growlithe w/ HP Grass 70
UU : Suicune w/ HP Electric 70, Machop, Swinub, Beldum, Larvitar.

All are shiny, except for Absol. I messed up, but ended up with the nature and ability I wanted, so it doesn't matter. They all are flawless except for Skorupi and those with different HP. I had time to breed Spheal and Shuckle before going to work :D
And I'm also working on a flawless Dratini, should be done in less than an hour.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on August 18, 2010, 02:17:53 PM
That was my enigma one... but it has a pretty nice attack set: Sludge Bomb, Brave Bird, X-Scissor and Cross Poison!
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 18, 2010, 02:21:43 PM
Sludge Bomb should go... There are lots of other options! If you're set on two Poison-type STAB moves, then Poison Fang is a healthy alternative because it uses Physical Attack, and has the option of badly poisoning the opponent.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on August 18, 2010, 02:27:12 PM
But Poison Fang is only 50% power, while sludge bomb is 90%... I did raise it to 252 Attack, 252 Sp Def and 6 speed EVs. It still is not at lv 39 AND doesn't know Cross Poison yet (gotta get to Blackthorn City to get the "learned)

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on August 18, 2010, 02:28:34 PM
But since you get STAB it still becomes a really reliable move. Also, Nasty Plot on a Crobat's nice, though you need to breed to get it since it's only an egg move.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 18, 2010, 02:29:20 PM
Nasty Plot is good, but its Speed is really powerful.

Does Crobat have any moves that are good with speed? :P
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: DrP on August 18, 2010, 05:02:48 PM
Brave Bird! Right now, its speed is decreased since it's holding a Macho Brace... but if its EVs are maxed out, I dont think I need it anymore (or do I still need it for level ups)???

The Macho Brace's only use is for your Pokemon to get EVs faster. After you have your 510 EVs, you don't need it anymore.

I've only seen Iron Ball being used with Trick movesets... Maybe people could use it in Trick Room's teams. Then again giving 'mons 0 Spd IVs should do the trick, so I wouldn't use it anyway.

Iron ball can be used by those who know fling, too.
Then again, not many movesets use that.

I think I've never seen anyone using Fling. Kind of an useless move, since you literally waste your Item.

Another move that isn't really use but can be awesome is Torment. Use it on a Choiced 'mon, and it automatically has to use Struggle. You need to be really good at predicting though.

Snorlax has Lefties when you capture it. Otherwise I think you need the Pickup ability, but you really have littles chances (~1%) of finding them.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 28, 2010, 06:43:09 AM
Yeah... Pokemon never gets old.

Bowser's Inside Story was by far the best... Partners in Time was funny, but creepy... it would have been funnier without the Shroobs. But I do love the Shroobs! Superstar Saga was probably my second favorite.

What truly made Bowser's Inside Story funny was a) Fawful and Midbus's comedy routines and b) Bowser's egotistical dialogue.

Bowser's so full of himself, and he's hilarious! I also laughed out loud at the scene where Mario rescues Luigi, and they have a reunited scene that's Oscar-worthy.

Oh man. Luigi's Mansion is fantastic. I was bored this summer so I dedicated myself to a perfect run (all treasure) and eventually got it. It has so much replay value if you're willing to reset every time you miss one coin.

My favorite classic Mario games are tied between SMB 3 and Super Mario World. I really can't decide which one I like better because both have great level design and the really cool powerups in 3 are balanced out by Yoshi in Mario World.

Winterkid, you have to play through the rest of Mario Bros 3. It was really hard for me too the first time through it, but once you get the hang of it, you'll love the levels so much. It's totally worth the investment.

I tried to do that too! The treasure room that I only recently noticed was through the mouse-hole in the Butler's room!

And I like Super Mario Bros 3 better, but a lot of people like Super Mario World... I was never a fan of Yoshi, which was why it was a surprise that I liked SMG2 as much as I did.

I love that picture shadoninja!
Yoshi happens to be one of my favorite video game characters and my mainstay in the original Smash Bros. But, to each his own I guess.

When I got Luigi's Mansion, I got a player's guide with my purchase so I kinda was cheating right off the bat with that game. However, I did lose it recently so it was up to my memory to remember where all the treasure was. That hidden room by the Butler's room took me forever to get everything because there's so much cash in that treasure chest once you clear it! I'd always miss something.

Indeed.

Also, check out the mods for the game. It makes it an entirely new game to play. www.simtropolis.com is the place to go.

I'm a huge SC fan myself, and love to just sit there and experiment with cities. I eventually got hang on how to make a large, populated and economically successful city, but the aestethics went down the drain (really, don't overdo commercial high density zoning. You'll end up with no skyscrapers at all). Now, I primarily try to make the traffic work, and center a few suburbs around large population centers.

Yep... i know... and I have discovered the hard way. I do like the aesthetics of the High Density Commercial stuff... those are cool lookin buildings.

Traffic is my worst problem... Subways definitely helped, plus I am too lazy to redo the city with avenues after roads... and then a shitload of freeways??

But Societies was a HUGE flop... they need to make a SC5 with major updates to SC4

I'm definitely getting Epic Yarn. It'll be the first new game in quite a while. But I'm goin to wait until around Christmas as well and get it with DKC: Returns. I'm also really excited for that. Then of course I have to save up for a 3DS... If I can't get it at launch though, a good summer job should be able to help me get enough funds, and there'll be more games too by that point.

But currently I'm just playing fun browser games and emulators because I don't have any systems with me up at college. Popcap has helped a lot (Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies are great) and it's great to be able to play all my old Game Boy games again on my laptop.

You can tell it's good because I actually bought it new.
 
It's somewhat short, but with getting all the hidden items, unlocking secret levels, and beating all the side-games modes(such as Hide and Seek) it makes the game quite a bit longer. I have yet to actually beat it though.

Also, the music, while simple, is amazing.

Wow, we're opposites, DrP! :D

I am going on hiatus with my HeartGold to replay the game it all started with! That's right, my Pokemon Blue is being played again! I'm doing it so that when I get Pokemon Stadium I have a team to transfer and won't have to use only rentals.

My team after beating my rival on Route 22, not yet battled a real trainer:
Bulbasaur Lv10
Drillbee (Beedrill) Lv10
Pikachu Lv10

I'm raising a Pikachu for Pokemon Stadium so I can get the one that Surfs! ;D

I was referring to your exploits on trying to acquire PKMN Stadium... you're not really "getting into" Pokémon anyways, you have always been "in" to Pokémon... but you're just recycling through games and playing them over and over.

I loved the older games, but now that they've added new stuff, I am too lazy to go back to the old stuff... its like using floppy disks to hold my word documents... though nostalgia is pretty nice but meh.

SFK--

I took your advice and dropped Beedrill, now I'm training Nidoran(F). My brother's got Nidoran(M) in his Red version right now, so it's cool. :)

I prefer Nidoqueen to Nidoking anyway. They're both pretty beast though.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on October 31, 2010, 07:24:10 PM
Oh really? :P

Well, obviously Nidoking is STRONGER than Nidoqueen... Nidoran(M) learns Horn Attack Lv9 while Nidoran(F) learns Scratch at Lv9. (This is Gen I, no later :))

Pidgeotto doesn't learn Wing Attack till Lv33 in Gen I--and that's the first Flying move it learns, Gust being Normal.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Sekter77 on November 01, 2010, 07:37:04 AM
Gust not being flying type was one of the strangest things about R/B/Y. It makes Viridian Forest a little harder because Gust won't tear through all the bugs like it should. It's kinda sad that I don't even remember my first teams through Blue so I really don't remember who were the best Pokemon to train at the start.

I evolved my Nidoqueen as soon as I could so it could learn Body Slam at Lv23. :P Not like it gets good moves anyway.

My brother did the same with his Nidoking. :P

Anyway, status update:
Cerulean City, battled 4/5 Nugget Bridge people, not faced the Gym Leader yet.
Team:
Ivysaur Lv19
Nidoqueen Lv19
Pikachu Lv19

Here's what I'm thinking for the rest of my team:

Meowth--it's pretty bad in this game, but relatively easy to train, and can learn a few good TMs. Plus, Pikachu and Meowth on the same team is coool. Was thinking Clefairy as well, but Meowth is cooler.

Omanyte--I really don't NEED this one since Nidoqueen can learns Surf (it already knows Water Gun lol), but Waters are always nice to have, and Omastar is really sweet. My brother's training a Kabuto, too, so. :)

Abra--Psychic-types are really good, and this beats Hypno, I think.

Here's what my brother's final team is going to be--
Venusaur
Nidoking
Pikachu/Raichu
Kabutops
Graveler/Golem (not sure if we can trade)
Hitmonlee

So, really if we wanted to do this "properly", I should choose Omanyte, Abra, and Hitmonchan. ;D

Any thoughts?

Slow, definately get an Abra. You'll need to train it to a Kadabra before it will be useful, but Kadabra/Alakazam is one of the most overpowered pokemon in R/B/Y.

As for your brother, having a a rock type and a fighting type one team may not be the best choice. I personally avoid fighting pokemon in R/B/Y all together as far as putting them on my team.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on November 01, 2010, 04:05:14 PM
That's because your main character is probably a Pikachu or someone else equally hard to train.

About Abra--I'm hesitating because I'm not sure if we can trade. Do you know if you can trade while using GBA SPs to play, with a GBA Link Cable? I don't think so, but I'm curious. I'll probably train one.

About Fighting--I personally agree (and Hitmonchan is out of the question because Fire, Ice, and ThunderPunch are all special), but he had this really good game with a team of Pokemon, all in their eighties, and his main Pokemon was a Hitmonlee. :P He really wants to train it again.

Also, the type setups are hilarious. Psychic is super against Ghost (so doubly effective against Gengar), and especially Poison--super against Bug, not Grass, and apparently just effective on other Poison-types. It's super effective on Beedrill and not very effective on Bulbasaur. Bug is super effective on Bulbasaur though. :D
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SuperFireKirby on November 01, 2010, 04:11:14 PM
Abra- he evolves into Kadabra at lv.10 I believe and its really not neccessary to evolve him into Alakazam.

In R/B/Y Psychic is super on: Poison, ghost, grass, fighting, rock, and bug.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on November 01, 2010, 04:12:43 PM

That's it.

My final Pokemon Blue Team:

Lv.57 Alakazam
Lv. 55 Nidoking

Those are fun!

Anyway, entering Vermilion. Team:
Meowth Lv22; Scratch, Bubblebeam, Pay Day, Bite
Pikachu Lv22; Thundershock, Mega Punch, Thunder Wave, Quick Attack
Nidoqueen Lv22; Water Gun (later Surf), Tackle (will be Body Slam at Lv23), Scratch (later Earthquake), Poison Sting (not sure about this one)
Ivysaur Lv22; Tackle, PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, Vine Whip
"Kabra" Alakazam (THE TRADING WORKED!) Lv22; Teleport, Confusion, Disable

Training Meowth is SUCH A CHORE Dx

Anyway, only Nidoqueen has moves that I'm sure will be changed. More on other movesets later. (If my movesets stink, that's because they all have such suckish options at this point)

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on November 02, 2010, 08:18:06 PM
I'm guessing you're saying that because Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 0.5× and 1.5× the user's level. Taken from Bulbapedia. Confusion's better because it deals a constant amount of damage.

Kirby games are awesome, man. Nightmare in Dreamland was me and my brothers' favorite game ever until Pokemon came along--then it was just an awesome game. I also like Superstar and Superstar Ultra, but NID was the best. xD

Epic Yarn looks awesome but I may have to wait until I can get it without paying for it (i.e., Christmas) to play it.

You three need to have some sense slapped into you. Literally.

BTW Sekter, while you'll get a beastly platformer from Epic Yarn, you won't get the real Kirby Experience. I recommend download either Kirby's Adventure or Kirby 64 off the Wii's Virtual console if you want to play a true Kirby game.

Final Fantasy 12 really likes to kick your ass. not only do you have to run through a mine with a dozen thousand million hundred enemies that do 100+ damage to you, you also have to fight a boss at the end that will raep you six ways from sunday.

like 13. it was pretty and shiny and crisp, but the game played itself, you just pressed X over and over -.-

6 is named 3 because in america they didn't release final fantasy 2 3 and 5. when it came to release 4, america didn't have 2 or 3 thus it could cause confusion (not that there's already confusion).

I'm in a remote place so I always have to pay extra shipping charges to get my stuff? That's why it usually is more expensive for me to buy stuff online.

Shadow of the Colossus is quite epic. I never played it but I watched one of my friends beat the last 3 colossi and the game. If I can just watch a game and find it incredible, it's a good game.
I've been on nostalgic mode recently and got to the final boss of Banjo Tooie again. I got every item except that accursed Canary Mary jiggy/cheato page in Cloud Cuckooland. Once I'm done with that I'll go back and finish Wario Land: Shake It because I just stopped playing it for some reason. I don't want it to be the only game I've bought and never reached the end of.

Yeah. It's really annoying for me to leave a game unfinished. Because of that, I can never keep a backlog of so many games! I usually just work on one at a time. I guess it's pretty impressive that you can divert your attention to so many different games at the same time. Or even have that many games to play. My budget's too tight for that kind of variety.

Darn. My new copy of Dark Cloud 2(well not new, but this is my second copy so I suppose it would be more correct to say "current). Okay. Darn, my "current" copy of Dark Cloud 2 is messed up. The very last boss is not killable. Because there is certain period where you can do damage on him when he turns blue, but you can't kill him when he's pink. And after going through two cycles switching between the two, he remains pink and won't change back. I know this shouldn't happen because I've watched youtube videos where its keeps going through the cycle. I guess I'll never beat it again. Sniff

That'll easily take just as long as going through the first time. Should keep me occupied until I get some new stuff for Christmas though!

Donkey Kong Country Returns is really amazing. It's eaten all of my free time. The levels have real personality and the attention to detail adds so much depth to the world. Every level introduces some cool gimmick or idea that just looks awesome and plays really well.

Cave boss is pretty tough. It definitely took me a few tries to take him down, but the world after that is probably my favorite so it's totally worth it.
Squawks is extremely useful for finding those puzzle pieces. I usually miss a couple too.

Now I have beaten the first level on the Cliff. But some levels are just freaky! The muncher marathon was the first level I skipped almost all puzzle pieces and kong letters XD I remember a comment on youtube that said something like, "me and my brother played this level and when I tried to get a kong letter he yelled at me to skip the collective shit and run!!!". lol, something like that xD But at least I have a bit over 200 coins =D

That line alone could probably sell some people on Borderlands. (I haven't played it.)

I never used a Super Kong. I just kept retrying levels over and over until I could finally beat them. It was unbelievably frustrating, but worth it. I also made sure to get all the collectibles I could the first time through. That led to more deaths of course, but all the replays really helped me learn the levels and appreciate the design and detail.

You should. Its pretty awesome. And you can get the regular version(vs. the Game of the Year version) for like 16 dollars at gamestop.

My GPU on my pc isn't that great so I have to sacrafice the quality of the graphics to play it. I can get to run with no lag on 800X600 resolution. My recommended resolution is 1680X1150.

Got Gothic III at the flea market. seeing as the tutorial virtually doesn't exist, I've had to consult in the internet multiple times. Also the lack of an autosave feature makes me rage quite a bit when I die, seeing as the combat system isn't all that great so its pretty easy to die.

Not amazing but the reputation system, graphics, multiple skills which are much more prevalent than most Oblivion skills make up for most of its flaws.

I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. If you've got five bucks, and a nasty old flea market selling it, you might wanna give it a whirl.

In other new, out of my extreme boredom yesterday I proceeded to download and play maplestory. It's not that great of a game. And was much better 4 years ago when I first started playing, but it sure does a good job at killing time.

Pokémon Black!!!

It really sucks they renamed Hodomoe City, Driftveil.

In it's entirety, so many names suck... mostly in part because we have been following it since the Japanese release and such.

Names would still suck, but not as bad as now.

Just because you can't understand the name doesn't mean it's good.

The same goes for foreign vocals.

Although my brother also likes Water, so do I, but he will train a Grass starter and I usually won't train a Fire starter (except in the case of Charizard because...well, he's Charizard).

Emboar really is just...no... more because of its typing than anything. Fire-Fighting again...just... come on, make the other starters at least have a chance against it. :(

Im making sure to train all three.

I made a pretty amazing team, swapped Murando for Monozu. I used a grass starter. shocking, huh?

I've decided to use Oshawott for Black and Tepig for White (though I really don't want to because it's fire/fighting... i am sick of that combo) -- I just might make a team without a starter in White... we shall see!

Sorry, I disagree. I prefer to train one Pokemon and let it learn a bunch of good moves, then come back and train up the rest later. My ultimately high level Pokemon just whoops ass, even Charizard in FR/LG.
@SlowPokemon: Yes, I agree there too. Blaziken can get rid of 2/4 Elite Four members easily; Dark and Ice... Sceptile is just awesome. :P

Haha trudat. Just like TWave and Toxic are. WoW and Hypnosis are not as bad though because of meh accuracy. I prefer having a Pokemon asleep because it's still usable (free switches or even fodder 'mon) but when your Pokemon is Burned/Toxic'd/Paralyzed it can't really do anything anymore. Unless you're running Breloom/Hariyama/Swellow/Roopushin/etc.

Been playing Mount&Blade: Warband for some time now. Quite a fun game, and a rare case of a medieval RPG with no fantasy elements whatsoever. Wonderful.

In short, you start the game as some guy/gal who has gone to the region of Calradia to seek fortune and adventure. The six kingdoms there are in constant opposition to each other, and if no wars break out for a month, that month is an unusually quiet one. Like many other RPGs, you meet and hire companions on your way, assemble a small army (which can be about four hundred man strong, if you devote a lot of time to raise the size limits), and learn different skills.

The battle system is, in my opinion, the best part of the game. You start a battle with a weapon in hand, shield is optional, and two other weapons sheathed (bow and arrows counts as two). The mechanic is simple: hold the mouse button down to raise the weapon, let the button go to hit. Aiming is so-and-so, based on your mouse movements. With a heavy weapon, hit from horseback, even a low-level noob can one-hit-kill a high-level player if he hasn't got his guard up. Though, you deal more damage at higher levels, but all in all, levels have little to say for a skilled player. It gets even more fun when you finally learn to time properly, so you can gallop towards a charging enemy, raise your battleaxe at the last moment, and swing it while riding at full speed, slamming the man to the ground.

Or if you're no good at combat yourself, you can try field commanding. You will partake in battles anyway, but heading straight for the enemy is optional. Instead, you can run/ride around and tell the archers where to stand and when to shoot, tell the infantry to hold ground here or there, or keep the cavalry back until the enemy has spread out to aviod your archer fire. All in all a very fun game.

^Make sure to get Warband, then, and not just the game named Mount & Blade. The two are similiar, but Warband is actually the "sequel" to M&B. "Sequel" might be the wrong word, though, it can best be described as a stand-alone expansion, adding a new faction, some new heroes, better graphics and more.

Nope, or, well, by some definition it is. I prefer to think of it as a sequel, where all the content in the predecessor has been carried over. It's a standalone game, but most of the units, locations, items, mechanics and whatnot from the first M&B is in Warband as well. Plus a little more. It doesn't exactly ease the confusion that the names for the games are virtually identical, with Warband only being a sub-title.

Long story short, get Warband, don't bother with buying plain M&B

GRAAAH Why does everyone at my school have White.

EVERYONE. Seriously. I think I have met one person who has black besides me.

And I have met only one person who has Tepig, too. ;) Oshawott seems to be the most popular choice, and I have met a couple others with Snivy.

Yep. I think theyre 12-14...

Nintendo really put in lots of thought to their older Pokémon fans from the old RBY days (when we were 5 and 6 when they came out). They wanted to get back the people from the early '90s (pre 1994) back into the Pokémon demographic.

The only thing I have in return that is of any worth would be a deino egg that will know dark pulse...but I would really like a perfect scolipede.

Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword

Recently published, this is the third installment in the Mount&Blade series. This one is set in Eastern Europe in the 17th century, and introduces firearms to the fray. And I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Firearms are wildly powerful, wildly inaccurate, and take a long time to reload. However, now any little group of bandits will be able to kill hardened elite soldiers, which they could only dream about in the previous installments. It doesn't matter any more how tough your soldiers are, only how many muskets you can put on the battlefield, and how to support them. As another little kick between the players' legs, the dev team also nerfed bows and removed crossbows and throwing weapons, so that they are practically useless. Also, the player character is less involved in the battles now. Earlier, you could ride in front of your troops, mowing down enemies and create mayhem in their ranks. If you try that now, you'll only accomplish being the first one to die. Instead, your new place is behind the musketeers, directing your troops from afar (mostly putting a row of infantry before the musketeers, and put cavalry at the flanks, then wait. Attacking is suicide). Grab your gun and shoot at enemies while you're at it, that will be your best chance at nagging kills. Just don't expect to hit anything.
Also, the game's portrayal at Eastern Europe. I've only been to Krakow myself, but I don't think it is all one giant plain with forests scattered randomly around. From Balticum to Krim, that is how it looks like in F&S. Everything looks the same on the overworld map, and travelling around it is just plain dull. As TaleWorlds have a tradition of publishing games, then patching them until they become playable, I hope this issue will be adressed later. At the moment, M&B Warband is a far better game.

New review might come when I've played the game more.

Also, beat Partners in Time...now I'm on Explorers of Sky (lost to Dialga and I don't feel like going back atm), also Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. It's the only one in the series I haven't played too many times to be bored by.

First time for PiT? I loved how fricking difficult the last bosses were! It was a pity so many people complained and they lowered the difficulty in BIS. Loved Explorers of Sky and I'm sure you are enjoying it too, considering the amount of songs that are now on my to do list from that game... I love how they've brought back quite a few of the songs from Red/Blue in Sky!

Haha, inorite? You kind of always have to cast Haste/Shell/Protect on your dudes so they won't die. Boss battles were easier on the Snes version of the game, so for that reason FFIV DS > FFIV Snes.

That was my first DS game, so I beat it (although, it's super glued together because I threw it due to frustration). I've always thought that the graphics were super amazing because it was on the DS :p

I'm currently playing Patapon 2 and Pokemon White.

It's a Gamecube release containing The Legend Of Zelda, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and a demo of Wind Waker.
It's pretty much every LoZ fan's dream.

I'm missing a few random ones like Sawbuck and Vanillite's evolutions and Stunfisk and Kyurem, but I am really close! My only problem: I need Lilligant and I seem to have traded my Petilil...so I need my brother to cooperate.

I beat Luigi's Mansion for the first time yesterday - started a new file and beat the whole game with an A-rank mansion in one day! When it came out 10 years ago, I got to the part where the power went out, but I never got past that because (1) I was horribly stuck and didn't know what to do, and (2) I was really, really scared (that game really used to give me the creeps [even scared me a few times yesterday]).

Today, I am playing my non-existent Megaman Legends 3 Prototype Version - DANG IT CAPCOM WHY DIDN'T YOU RELEASE IT LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD WITH THE LAUNCH OF 3DS eShop?!? Better announce a new release date soon...

Let's see! I finally finished White today. Took me about a week. My team:

Samurott
Excadrill
Galvantula
Simisear
Scrafty
Musharna

I had fun playing with a different starter! My brother picked Tepig this time (in his Black).

Now we're gonna transfer our teams to our good games and restart, I'll get Tepig and he'll get Snivy.

I was surprised how useful Simisear actually was. Excadrill and Scrafty were awsm, as was Galvantula. Musharna was not as awsm but still fun to use.

They're all Lv54 after beating Ghetsis...who was actually easier than N this time around.

So anyway, now I have time to play Ocarina of Time 3D (getting it tomorrow) and I am using the time in between to play Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs, I never finished it so I just restarted. :P

I think that I actually like this game better than explorers of time/darkness. I don't know, they're both great, but this one has a more classic feel to it.

I feel the same way SlowPokemon! I guess it's because PMD Blue Rescue Team just felt more real than PMD 2 - you could honestly, truly believe that YOU woke up one day, mysteriously transformed into a Pokemon in PMD 1, because the game is perfectly designed to produce that feeling. In PMD 2, however, you can obviously tell upon approaching the end of the game that the Pokemon that is supposed to be you is merely just an avatar, a representation only in personality, making PMD 2 less personally impacting because, unlike its predecessor, you no longer are held under the conviction that YOU are that human-turned-Pokemon.

Post by: Shadoninja on July 06, 2011, 02:31:55 PM
yeah I heard putting in mods makes it run slower so I don't do it as it already goes slow sometimes for me.

I started with the hunter chick. quite fun when you can SPAM ARROWS at the enemy from far away and never get hit. plus that flame trap she throws that burns the shit out of the enemies when they move close to it. if the enemies ever do reach me to melee me, they'll most likely be burning zombies.

You know you can just go back and pick up your lost items, right? I think they'll stay there for about half an in-game day, unless you fall into a lava pit or fire, in which case they'll burn up.


Currently playing Minecraft myself, and I'm trying to build a monster-proof castle. Cladding the walls with obsidian will take time, but anything to annoy those pesky creepers...

Post by: Cobraroll on July 08, 2011, 02:34:11 AM
^That's one way to put it. Yes, it is good. The creative potential is almost endless. You can build almost anything, provided it isn't several hundred metres tall (64 metres, to be precise, if you build from sea level up. Might not sound like much, but in-game, it looks darn tall). Also, there are monsters to fight, and a HUGE world to explore.

Try it.

I need some help with what I should play now that I finished Spyro 3 with 117%

These are the ones I'm thinking about:
Super Paper Mario - I'm at chapter 4.3 right now, took it up this morning. But not sure if I should keep playing it or something else
Sonic Colours - Somewhere in the beginning. I just don't think it's such a great game, some of the physics are off
My Sims Racing - Got it at my b-day this year and still havn't tried it. Was going to exchange it, but now it's too late
LoZ: Twilight Princess - I feel like making another playthrough, but not sure
Spyro The Dragon - Still have some percents left on the playthrough I made not too long ago

So...what should I play? Or perhaps I should "get" Croc again. I borrowed it from my neighbour when I was younger

what did yours say about you?
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on July 14, 2011, 02:58:48 PM
The description was:

Do you occasionally zone out and miss a bus? Or do you find yourself dozing off? Or is your reaction time a little slower than others? But that's not necessarily a bad thing. You can do things at your own tempo without feeling pressured. You can live in a relaxed and unhurried manner without worries. I think that's a happy lifestyle to be envied, even. You're also surprisingly popular. The way you vacantly stare off into the distance... It should make that someone special's pulse race. A relaxed person like you should be... The Pokémon Squirtle!

If I were a boy, I would be a Psyduck. Eevee would've been awsm, I could be a Flareon.

Oh and the part about being popular is crap, the rest is pretty accurate. Don't know about the racing pulse thing though. That's probably crap too.

Post by: Bespinben on July 14, 2011, 03:34:36 PM
I couldn't do the song justice with one piano. Sorry :P
If I did do a solo piano reduction, you'd have to be really good at doing large jumps in the bass clef, like in Super Mario World Athletic. Even then, you wouldn't be able to play all the parts. Besides, think of the setting in mind for Pokémon Sqaure - there's a lot of hustle and bussle going on, people talking, merchants trading (Kecleon) - it's more appropriate for two pianos as it provides a better sense of the largeness and noisyness of the song.

Ludicolo is a beast. That fact was proven during Pokémon VGC 2010. It's a really nice wall.

Also Double Team sucks.

You obviously didn't do a lot of grinding; to do well at all it would be prudent to beat every enemy in the game. Thats typically what I do anyway.

Got and beat New Super Mario Bros Wii over the summer and got a 3DS with Ocarina of Time (after the price cut).

The 3DS is surprisingly awesome and has some really impressive tech. It just needs more games, which seems like it will be happening with Mario Kart and Star Fox and others coming soon.

Also, I had never finished Ocarina of Time (only made it to Dodongo's Cavern) so it was pretty cool to finally play the game and see everything. I haven't started the Master Quest yet and I hope I'll be able to beat it eventually. But now that I'm back at school, I don't know if I'll be able to play it much.

For some reason the preorder for the new game is on sale on this British digital distribution site, plus they have a 20% off coupon so it ends up only being $40 and not more than it would be in the states >.>

Umm... New Super Mario Bros. for DS. So addictively fun. I'm going for one hundred percent star coin completion, it's not that hard the first few worlds but gets really tough later on... I especially hate the first level in World 4, with all the spiders and the dinosaur ride across the toxic purple stuff.

Also Pokemon Platinum (I think).

Half the reason I'm playing it now is to listen to the awesome soundtrack, because I've nearly 100%'ed it.

It's not that scary, more just stressful.

But I also only play the game at 2AM in a completely dark room with headphones, so that probably enhances it all.

Combat of Giants: Dragons - Quite a repetitive game, not a lot of difference in it at all, not that hard to beat enemies, but I like it! :D
Deltora Quest: The Seven Jewels - An awesome but incredibly hard game! Not only am I becoming very good at moving around the DS touch screen, but my Japanese is improving as well!

I'd rather have a higher quality new material based gameI than a remake of a game that's too short for its own good...lol I never really became a Cave Story fanboy. It's a great game, but it's definitely not better than Mario. Just my opinion.

Wtf, umad? Ofc it's similar, it's the guy who basically created Pikmins that's working on that title. And yes, the "Sony-field" version of the game looks better. Plus it's not everyone who owns a Gamecube/Wii/Pikmin games, so it just means that more people will be able to enjoy those games' mechanics (if they're the exact same).

Allow me to present the tragic story of EarthBound. (Short version)

Mother was in Japan. Big hit. Planned to be released in the US, never happened.
EarthBound WAS released in the US. Everyone who played it loved it, but it didn't sell well for advertising flaws.
Mother 3 was originally in development for N64, but was cancelled and released 11 years after the release of EB in 2006 for GBA, but only in Japan.

You forgot to mention that Mother 3 was released at the end of the GBA's lifespan, in 2006. the DS had been released in 2004. That's why they didn't release it here, they didn't think it'd sell well for that reason.

Just bought the Half Life complete pack. Now I'll finally be able to see why Half Life is so amazing.

Also playing Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Not quite as creative as Epic Yarn but I always love playing classic Kirby. Also, 4 player co-op is awesome through a bit of a let down. Kind of awkwardly done, like the NSMBW co-op was.

EDIT: LIMBO is freaking awesome. totes worth 5 dollars off Steam though it's a tad bit short. YOU SHOULD BUY IT. ESPECIALLY SLOW since he loves Tim Burton and this game just reeks with Tim Burton's lovely scent(cinnamon pine cones, to be specific)

I so know what you mean. When I first picked up my copy of Pokémon HG/SS, it felt like a fresh, new adventure because I hadn't played the original Gold version in 10 years. Only a few of the town names were familiar-ish (of course I remembered the Pokémon native to Johto though :P).

Medieval II: Total War.

Not quite sure if I like it or not. The graphics are good, it's realistic and all that, but oh how very monotonous and quite sluggish. The difference between units appear to be minuscule. A pikeman is a pikeman, regardless of there being forty different types or whatnot of them. You set them to attack, and a big brawl later, someone flees. Sieges are cool at first, but after a while you realize that all the castles look the same, and if the opponent has artillery and you have not, you might as well give in at once, unless you have a mahoosive army garrisoned, and are willing to sacrifise it all at once. Likewise, if you attack a castle using artillery, and the opponent doesn't have it, just pop a can of soda 'cause you've won.

I've always been an advocate for realism in games, but it might turn out that that isn't my preferred style after all. The turn-based overworld map just seems too slow and sluggish, and I like to play defensively, a tactic that will get you absolutely nowhere in this game. I like to construct epic forts and compose great armies, and then play with my enemy until the game is over. Perhaps seizing a foothold and slowly conquer my way into enemy territory, inch by inch until he's weakened enough for a final devastating assault. Hold a place against waves of incoming enemies until reinforcements arrive and Here, both the forts and armies are extremely formulaic, hard to control and you can't do much with them anyway. Your settlements sit in place, generating money, and your armies follow their general and fight. Exactly what it says on the tin. And it's turn-based. Meaning that once you've repelled an attack, another one follows and you have to start from scratch again. No terrain advantages. Defending or attacking a fort, it's just a matter of controlling the ram or not. Elite forces or regular forces, who cares, it's just a big brawl anyway and the difference is hardly noticeable. Sure, you can fire hundres upon hundreds of arrows towards your enemies, they will all miss anyway. Ten archers or two hundred, the difference appears minuscule. It might be my noobishness, but all my battles end in a giant clusterfuck no matter who does what. And then, it's back to the overworld map for a new turn of doing exactly the same somewhere else.

All in all, this is probably a great game, but not entirely my cup of tea. I like to play with games, not just play them. And Medieval II: Total War leaves way too little to the imagination for my liking. Perhaps it will grow on me later.

A couple. Some new easter eggs/hidden unlockables, there's a mode where you can play as a pixelated version of Quote, and after the game is beaten there's a time attack mode. And the game looks absolutely fantastic.

Don't pay full price unless you are a dedicated CS fan, or haven't played the original, though.   It's not really worth $40...

Oh boy is DKCR difficult. The temple levels got me so worked up, especially the one in World 5 (which is strange because that's my favorite world otherwise). It's very satisfying to beat though!

The contrast between KEY and DKCR actually illustrates one of my favorite aspects of gaming in that ridiculous challenge can be just as fun and enjoyable and fun as relaxing platforming if done right. They're both some of my favorite games so far despite their huge differences!

It's the Blast and Bounce one. I hated it because of the tires, and because of the barrel cannon sections near the end. And now that I think about it, the World 4 and 6 temples were pretty awful too.

That's also kind of surprising! Once you remember the order of the platforms in that one it becomes a lot easier. I think the second temple may be the easiest I think.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland is freaking awesome. Though there are a few minor things I don't like.

Pros:
>Hal rev'd up the game mechanics by make powers more awesome with a bunch of different attacks for each one.
>The SUPER WEAPONS are freaking awesome.
>It's good, old-fashion Kirby.
>A few new powers that are super fun(there's one where you can ride and shoot waves of water), not to mention the old ones have been upgraded.

Cons:
>Kirby doesn't have 6 health points in this game. He has a HEALTH BAR. And it can take multiple hits to lose a power! Less challenge is a con in my book.
>Level of difficulty is pretty low. Even though I'm a Kirby veteran, I still wish they could provide me with more challenging things outside getting gold on all of the challenge levels.(which is proving to be fairly challenging)

But over all, it's nice to have our pink ball of hunger back in his normal state.

I thought Find Mii was the E3 demo they showed for the Wii U. But after some searching, I noticed that the tech demo was called Chase Mii.
In Europe, that game is called Streetpass Quest, I'm on the second run now at the final boss

Pokemon HeartGold. Love this game so much.

I'm in the Slowpoke Well. My team:
Bayleef Lv17
Hoothoot Lv14
Slowpoke Lv14 (planning on using Slowbro this time rather than Slowking)
Gastly Lv15

I think I might change around my team a little before all is said and done. I trained a Granbull once and it was really fun. I kinda want an Abra, too. And I might get rid of Hoothoot if I can find a better Flying mon. Or anything else, really. It's just been a while since I've used Noctowl and I think it's a really cool mon.

Oh and I might drop Slowpoke eventually, I doubt it though cause I love Slowbro :3

Any suggestions on the final few? ^_^ I know Meganium is kind of an average mon but I really like it, so I'm gonna keep it. And Gengar too, and I'm fairly sure I'm gonna get Alakazam. Arcanine is an option for Fire, I guess.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on February 07, 2012, 08:25:32 AMOh and I might drop Slowpoke eventually, I doubt it though cause I love Slowbro :3
YOU BETTER NOT >:U

Quote from: SlowPokemon on February 07, 2012, 08:25:32 AMAny suggestions on the final few? ^_^ I know Meganium is kind of an average mon but I really like it, so I'm gonna keep it. And Gengar too, and I'm fairly sure I'm gonna get Alakazam. Arcanine is an option for Fire, I guess.

Your current team has 2 weaknesses to electric, ice, bug, ghost, and dark.
Ghost and Dark won't be too much of a problem until Espeon and Umbreon Kimono Girl and Karen.

A steel type (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/steel.shtml) would resist all but electric although your options are fairly limited.
Magnemite/ton would be good since it resists all of those and it's not too bad(I've used it on my second playthrough)

perhaps a Piloswine (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/221.shtml) for electric/ice resists, plus you might need moar physical attackers.

Quagsire's (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/195.shtml) pretty good except you'll already have a defensive pokemon with slowbro.

Lanturn's pretty epic too

 (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/171.shtml)
Quote from: SlowPokemon on February 07, 2012, 08:25:32 AMAnd I might get rid of Hoothoot if I can find a better Flying mon.
If you want to replace Hoothoot with another flying type (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/flying.shtml) Yanma (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/193.shtml), Gligar (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/207.shtml), Xatu (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/178.shtml), and Togetic are nice options. you might also consider Crobat, though you'll probably not want moar psychic weaknesses.

Yanma especially will be useful against Espeon, Umbreon, Will, and Karen. It's abilities are awesome and has some pretty good level up moves.



and to not make this a pokemanz thread, I've been playing mutant mudds.

AAAAH EMBOAR DX I only used Tepig once, and that was only cause I wanted to use all three starters and I had already used the other two.
I'm using Vanillite right now myself for the first time!
Krookodile is such a fun and great 'mon. Used one in my first Black, using it again right now. :)
Archeops? Really cool. I used Carracosta in my first ever Black. I was thinking about using Archeops this game but I decided on Emolga instead.
Jellicent is really cool. Great Sp. Def. Haven't used one in my team yet.
I used Eelektross my first Black, it was really fun. I love the Levitate/Electric-type thing, it's like an ultimate troll.

Glad you like my team!  ;D My other one in White is Serperior, Gigalith, Sigilyph, Simipour, Galvantula (at lvl 100, btw) and Chandelure, but I think my actual team in Black is better, though. I chose Archeops only for fly, and Jellicent for Surf, and you should try it! Jellicent is very very very good.

Now going to get the 8th badge! Those little dragons won't have a chance against my Vanillish (almost Vanilluxe) and her Ice Beam!

Post by: Roz~ on February 28, 2012, 05:59:35 AM
Hmm basically the story is based around time travel, but it's different from Chrono Trigger.
The battle system is turn-based, kinda like Final Fantasy X. However it's a bit more "complex", since you have to switch places with enemies/teammates to make combos. I haven't played a lot yet, since I'm busy studying for exams and all, but so far it's been fun.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: fabbemannen on February 28, 2012, 09:25:19 AM
k, the game I play the most per console (except for PC)
GameboyC - Lufia 3: Return of the legend (Actually one of the best RPG's I've played. Reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy II (not 4, 2)
3DS - Mario Kart 7 (I'm waiting for my b-day in 2 weeks, so I can get/receive 3D Land)
Wii - Brawl probably (haven't been playing on homeconsoles lately, played brawl with some friends though)
360 - NHL 2009 (I think it's 09 at least, they doesn't change much)
PC - Counter Strike 1.6 and Source + SAMP (classics)
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on February 28, 2012, 10:14:04 AM
Yep, Lufia 3 is definitely a great game. I loved it, but not as much as the first 2 games.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: fabbemannen on February 28, 2012, 10:35:02 AM
One of the funniest too, and I like the battle system + avoidable enemies.
I will probably regret that I'm playing them in the wrong way, seems kinda dumb to start with the third. Well, the games doesn't seem to follow any particular storyline, since it seems to be a whole new generation of people in the game and all
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on February 28, 2012, 11:22:03 AM
Well if you want to play the games in a chronological order then you'd have to play Lufia 2 first, then Ruins of Lore, then Lufia & the Fortress of Doom and then Legend Returns.

I just finished Skyward Sword now... I always get pretty sad when I finish a Zelda game...
1st, I start to play a Zelda game, and gets boring in the first 10 hours. Then I get pretty mad because its dungeon after dungeon all the time and no story at all and Ill i want is to finish the game. And after that, finally the story starts to get interesting, and I just cant stop the game! And in the end, the game win epic proportions and all you want is to finish the game. But when you finish, it hurts in your soul, and all you want is to play a new Zelda game... That's my Zelda experience!

More like you people need to play good pc games like sc2 or bf3 or tf2 or css more often so we can get a server going or play in groups there.

I sure did! It was so sad and touching, since the game really made me care for the characters - just what I'm looking for in a game. :) I'd like to try out Mother 1 and 2 when I get the chance, too.

Let's see, I just finished finished Lufia 3, so I'm looking for some new handheld-games that isn't on GBA/non-nintendo-console
Played through some random games while looking for something to play, GTA *gameboy-style ;D* and Battle Tanx made me lol

Others:
360 - NHL 09
Wii - Mario Party 9 when friends show up
PC - GTA1 (free on Rockstar's site), Rayman Origins (friggin' amazing game, and no lag at all even on my laptop!), Just Cause 2 (the grappling hook/parachute-combo makes the game)
3DS - Basically none. I just doesn't feel like playing 3D Land (I'm maybe 30min from beating it, well, there probably is some special world too) and I just play MK7 when I meet someone over streetpass
Failbook - Tetris Battle (broken version of Tetris, but with multiplayer. So it's fun during breaks with mah classmates)

Figured I would finish 3D Land (I only had one level left of the mainstory apparently), and so I did. There was some "special world" like I figured, but the whole game again, wow, didn't expect that. Was a little too repetitive though, they didn't change that much, I might finish it later

Progress in Super Mario 3D Land:
Worlds 1-8: All star medals, I have reached the top of the goal posts, and played through all levels with both Mario and Luigi.
Same goes for World S1.

I have all the star coins in worlds S1-S3 as well as S7, but I'm not sure how many I've played through with both Mario and Luigi. I think maybe I've done that up to World S3?

Anyway, now I have at least beaten every level in the game, besides that last one with ridiculous requirements. This game is very, very fun. I had forgotten just how fun, haha. Some of those levels are SO hard though. I have no idea how I'm going to get the star coins in some of them like S8-2. That one took me a ridiculous amount of time to beat WITHOUT concentrating on the star coins. All I managed to pick up was the first one.

Ah, plugged in my PS1 to get the last percents on Spyro 1 which is the only one of the originals that I haven't got 100% (or 117% like in the third...)
Not too surprising it was 120% you needed ;D

Trying to get all the chest-teeth in Rayman Origins.

Working my way through Lufia: Fortress of Doom (I personally like the battle-system much more in the third).

Pwning in NHL09 (32 straight wins on the highest difficulty with even teams...almost always a big difference too).

Quote from: SlowPokemon on May 13, 2012, 08:38:05 AMProgress in Super Mario 3D Land:
Worlds 1-8: All star medals, I have reached the top of the goal posts, and played through all levels with both Mario and Luigi.
Same goes for World S1.

I have all the star coins in worlds S1-S3 as well as S7, but I'm not sure how many I've played through with both Mario and Luigi. I think maybe I've done that up to World S3?

Anyway, now I have at least beaten every level in the game, besides that last one with ridiculous requirements. This game is very, very fun. I had forgotten just how fun, haha. Some of those levels are SO hard though. I have no idea how I'm going to get the star coins in some of them like S8-2. That one took me a ridiculous amount of time to beat WITHOUT concentrating on the star coins. All I managed to pick up was the first one.
You can do it, Slow! I LOVE the very last level! It requires a tonne of skill not do die all the way through! :D

meh, I normally never emulate/play backups for a current generation console. But I fixed it for Wii now (I've been sick for 2 weeks and my economy can't handle it).
So now I've beaten Kirby's Epic Yarn, most of the dodgeball related stuff in Mario Sports Mix and I'm currently playing Xenoblade C and Kirby's RtD (started on both today since I finished K'sEY).

I love how fluid the controls and gameplay were in Epic Yarn, especially compared to what I've played in Kirby's Adventure Wii (I can't decide if I should call it Adventure Wii or Return to Dreamland yet). Those games should be combined, 'cause I missed the basic sucking in Epic Yarn

It almost pains me to say it, but I think I enjoyed Epic Yarn quite a bit more than Return to Dreamland, Both are awesome games, but Yarn just had such originality and style that Dreamland had difficulty competing with, imo

Does Pokemon Conquest got some kind of online stuff? Else I don't see any need to rush out and buy it.

Anyhow, I'm still play Xenoblade. Friggin' epic game that never seems to end.
Else, I tried both Goldeneye 007 and Go Vacation for the Wii. Goldeneye bored me out (original > wii-version) while Go Vacation actually had it's fun moments. I had a lot of fun with Wii Skii which is from the same developer and both of them got that extra stuff you don't see in so many games, it's like they really wanted to make the most out of the game.

If I remember right, you had to attack the little stars first and somehow hit them back to make the boss vulnerable. I thought there was a certain attack that would do damage by just attacking directly.

I think I was in 6th grade when I played it. It's glaringly obvious now, but I was impatient as an elementary schooler.

[/nostalgic topic derail]

I've completed every single level in 3D Land, and I only have about 6 star coins left. Then to make all the flags gold. However, the dumb developers just had to put a little icon in the bottom right of the screen saying which Mario bro you used to beat the level. I, having a serious case of video game OCD, must now complete every single level with the opposite bro. . . Gosh darnit!
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 02, 2012, 01:40:12 PM
Actually, you need to do that to unlock the final level. Once you've gotten all the star coins, all gold flagpoles, and beaten all the levels with both bros, you unlock the final level. Which is ridiculously impossible.

Today is a special day. I have completed Super Mario 3D Land. All levels complete with both mario bros, all star coins collected, and gold flags. The final level was shorter than I expected, and much easier once you figure out that you can jump off an enemy by holding A at any time you're in the air (I just figured that out). If you hold jump at any point you are in the air you will jump higher off of enemies. Anyway. The final level was much harder to beat with Luigi than Mario. The first section was built for Mario's jump length, so I kept overshooting it with Luigi. Eventually I had to resort to tanooki leaves with Luigi. Also, it wasn't until my final run that I realized that you didn't have to jump on the letters to get across. . . baa-aa-aa-aa.

Great game! Now all I have to do is find all of the puzzle box star coins. I don't think I have them all. Not much to do after that. Oh! 310 lives lost over the entire game.

Working on Mario Kart 7 at the moment.

I have EXACTLY 2500 coins, if you can believe it, I managed to hit that number. As such, I have most of the kart parts and only have four more to unlock (excluding the ghastly glider which doesn't do anything different from the standard, and the golden steering wheel, standard kart, and glider).

I have three stars in all of the 50cc and 100cc, and at least one star in all the others for 150cc and Mirror (that's why I have the golden wheels). Now I'm concentrating on getting at least two stars for all of them. So far, I have 6/8 for 150cc, and like 1 or 2/8 for Mirror. So this should keep me busy for a while. :)

BTW, I really hate it when I get first every time and the system STILL gives me two stars! So annoying. ::)
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: fabbemannen on July 07, 2012, 12:51:08 PM
I got a little below 6000 coins and 3 stars in everything. I got bored with the easy CPU offline, so I did a new game, now I'm playing through the 150cc (I don't like the mirror-stages) without drifting even once. It's actually much funnier, even though I still win pretty much everything :X
I never drifted in MKW, it felt kinda weird playing with the manual, so I always went automatic there.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Zunawe on July 07, 2012, 11:59:20 PM
I have 3 more mirror courses to get 3 stars on. For some reason it's like I'm really good/lucky for two cups, and then I just get knocked off the edge like crazy.

I hate those times when you get 2 stars with 40 points. You really just have to be lucky with the items, because the actual racing isn't very difficult.

Lands of Lore : The Throtne of Chaos. I'd forgotten how great that game is. Nostalgia's probably involved too, but it's still a pretty good game. I'm also playing Kid Icarus : Uprising and Kirby Mass Attack.

Can't play what I don't have...but I want it, along with every single game Rare made for the N64.

So many good games...

Used to play the Team Buddies-demo when I was a kid. One of the absolutely funniest games I've played, and that was just the demo!
So I got the full game to work yesterday and my god is it fun

Apparently Team Buddies was one of the rarest PS1 games ever (no wonder I couldn't find it in any stores), too bad it's so friggin' epic D:

EDIT: Forgot to mention The Last Story D:
Team Buddies is so fun that I forgot. Long story short: TLS is epic and one of the best looking games for the Wii (didn't know it could be that good graphics on the system)

Just got Skyrim. It was half-price, and I wanted a new game, so I figured "Why not?" It's pretty fun. I found the console way too early though. I haven't used it on my main game, which is good. It really does make the game boring. That's why I don't like cheating. Anyway, the game is hugely over-hyped, but that doesn't mean it's not awesome.

The sequence where you first recover the ocarina is so awesome. :D  More epic than anything in OoT.

I'm sorta stuck recovering Epona tho.... I have to buy a powder keg for more than my wallet capcity.  I have to get back to that.

I let the moon crash while I was in Woodfall Temple just to see what would happen.  I literally had nightmares.  Jumped out of my skin when the HMS popped up on the screen.

Ohh. I love the getting Epona part. . . cows. If I remember right the wallet is DO NOT READ PAST THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE HOW TO GET IT a prize from putting a bunch of rupees into the bank.

Ninja'd: Skyward Sword was overall easier I think, but playing it was harder for me. I liked the idea for the Wii Motion Plus, but I got so annoyed in Ghirahim battles when I would have to react quickly to swing and it would say I swung the wrong way.

Ghirahim was tough!  Especially the first time around, when you're still getting used to the game and your items are not powerful.  Piece of cake in Lanayru's challenge.

The first one I played was when Ocarina of Time 3D came out, but than I played Zelda 1, Zelda 2, Minish Cap, Four Swords, Majora's, and Skyward Sword since then.

If you guys want to give me Majora's Mask tips, please do. I'm in the Southern Swamp searching for the temple or magic hag or something like that.

I'm still playing it. If you do nothing but run around randomly it gets boring quickly. Same if you do similar side quests for long periods of time. I usually start a random side quest and go into a cave on the way there, forget what I was doing, find another side quest, and continue like this until I have about 20 quests, and then go try to finish them. Things are distracting.

Currently doing the Dark Brotherhood questline. Assassin is so fun.

I went through the Dark Brotherhood line, mage line, civil war line, and main quest line, plus did a bunch of sidequests in between so kinda burned out.  Might go back to it again but really all I would do is spend a few hours installing mods and then play for like 2.

I went on a legendary run after I beat all the gym leaders in soulsilver. Managed to get a shiny Suicune. The game was fun. The only problem I have with pokemon games is the reliance on knowing other people who play it, and having previous versions. For example it's impossible to get all the pokemon without having at least three versions of HG/SS (at least one of each) unless you have previous versions.

Redeemed Majora's Mask from Club Nintendo. I already have it, but I'd rather not worry about the disc's condition. I know way too much about it. Second day playing on this file and I have three dungeons down, all fairies collected for them, the best sword, almost half the masks, and over 500 rupees in the bank.

First time I played it I couldn't figure out why some songs wouldn't work. Wasn't until I beat it that I figured out that certain things only occur when a song is played on the right instrument. For example I spent forever on trying to get the baby to go to sleep because I was trying to play the lullaby on the ocarina.

Spyro, I am going to make you play Pikmin 2. If you like the original, than 2 will blow your mind. I actually only thought the original was OK when I first bought it 2 years ago. It was hard under the time limit, the controls on the Wii weren't that great, so I dropped it. Then that fall, I found the second one for Gamecube, and I got so addicted. It improves the first one in every possible way. After I beat 2, I loved the Pikmin series so much that I couldn't resist going back and beating one, and I enjoyed it a whole lot more now that I was used to the gameplay scheme. But 2 is still so much better.

I just got a coupon for Gamestop so I might get Pikmin 2 with it. If they have it there. I'll probably have to order it or something. I REALLY want the game before I get Pikmin 3 though. It looks awesome. More laid-back too.

I'm normally lying down when I'm playing, so I've never had any problem with getting tired in my arm (I rest it on my stomach). The aiming is spot-on imo, faster than using the stick too

Why can't the BABY BULBORBS sleep like their parents! They keep moving and eating my pikmin and waking up their idiot friends.   :o

Anyway, they really should take some hazards out of the Distant Spring.

I'm pretty sure it's not the good ending. I think that's the normal or average ending. And yeah, I can't blame your for dying on the final boss. He killed 198 or my red Pikmin before I FINALLY got him.

If I go into that file I can keep going in to beat the boss, but I don't think I'll bother. I only have like 176 or so total pikmin because so many of my red and blues died in the Distant Spring. I'll probably redo a new file sometime.

Post by: SlowPokemon on August 19, 2012, 05:47:14 PM
All right, so I'm currently playing two games:

9 Persons 9 Hours 9 Doors
I'm on my fourth playthrough right now, so far I've gotten three horribly grotesque endings and I'm really hoping this time I fare better. But I think this game is definitely the most intelligent I've ever played on a handheld--maybe even ever. You know how Layton games put a LOT of thought into their stories, characters, and puzzles? This game is the same--although with its M-rating it feels simultaneously grittier, more realistic, and engaging--in Layton there's never any doubt everything will turn out okay. Here, you have that feeling that you're in danger most of the game. Shadoninja advised me--"don't play it at night." I didn't heed his advice, but I'd pass it on in a heartbeat. This game is really creepy--the storyline is sickening and horrifying, and there are even a few "jump moments."

I'd also recommend not starting it unless you have a few days off ahead of you--because for a while this game will consume your life. There are six endings, and you can't understand the story unless you see all of them or at least most of them. You'll finish the first time feeling confused and maybe like it isn't wrapped up enough, so you'll immediately start it again. And then again. And then again. And so on and so forth. Helpfully, there's a fast forward system implemented after you finish once where you can skip through scenes you've already viewed in previous playthroughs,

If you like a good plotline, and don't mind lots of swearing or graphic descriptions of violence (which aren't pictured), you should get this visual novel/puzzle game as soon as possible.

New Super Mario Bros. 2
Well, this game couldn't be farther from the other, but whatevs. I'm a huge NSMB junkie, I loved both the first and the Wii edition. I played this game a lot today--I've already seen the ending (which won't take anyone more than a few hours as there are only six main worlds). It's brilliant. It's more of the same, but the same is high quality stuff. The graphics are as good as the Wii, and are only enhanced by the 3D effect which blurs out the background to make it more realistic. And the music is about as high quality as the Wii--well, EXACTLY as high quality as the Wii. Every single piece in this game is taken from the Wii version. Every. Single. Piece. Including the Title and the Credits, as well as even the world maps. They take the exact same song, and add a layer or two to make it different enough to distinguish itself. These remixes sound great, and I really enjoyed most of them (except the Athletic Theme which really grated on my nerves), but it would have been nice to hear a bit of new music. As far as gameplay goes, there's the obligatory chain chomp level and other staples from the series, but there's also a lot more innovation than in the Wii installment. You'll likely laugh the first time you see red coins parachute from the sky or watch Blockhead Mario produce coins every time he dashes or jumps.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of coins. Yes, they're everywhere. The entire GAME is fueled by coins, as the main goal is to collect a million. And by the time I finished the first six worlds, I had roughly 12,000. Wheee. This isn't going to be a small feat, but things like the Gold Flower, Blockhead Mario, Golden Rings, and Coin Rush mode certainly speed up the process.

The bosses are the most creative I've ever seen in the series, similarly to the first NSMB, which was a shock as I expected every end of the world castle to include a basic Koopaling battle. Another thing--thank you thank you THANK YOU Nintendo for not including Airships. Those were the bane of NSMBW and SM3DL.

Overall, yeah I'm happy with this game even though it's similar to the previous games. Nintendo added quite a few new aspects, but still wisely remembers "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 25, 2012, 04:35:53 PM
Don't dismiss it for that reason, it's not like other rated M games. The only reason for its rating is because there's a fair bit of swearing (not nearly as bad as what you'd typically see on this forum), and a small amount of violence which isn't even shown beyond text descriptions. A 13/14 year old could handle it easily, and if you care a lot about plot then it's a must play. I think that it's rated M partly because most younger kids would find it boring. So don't just dismiss it because of its rating.

It's 70% visual novel, which is just reading through text and dialogue (with music and sound effects), and 30% puzzle solving.

Anyhow, finished Borderlands with a few friends (well, got to the credits at least). Was much funnier than I expected, but when we wanted to continue with the DLCs, the game made us start a new game+. Didn't really feel like restarting (even though we could still use the DLCs when we got fast-travel)

A lot of people hate on FFX, but I liked it. I think the story was interesting, even though Tidus is annoying at times. I also enjoyed the turn-based battle system. And really you can't judge FFVI if you haven't finished it. The story made me connect more to the characters than FFVII did.

After a few years of not facing Dark Link I found him stupidly easy. I could even get him with spin attacks. Before I could hardly touch him (no, I wasn't targeting him either time).

Omg yes! Don't give anything away ^^

I have four badges, about to go to Driftveil City. My team is Servine, Flaaffy, Gothita, and Genesect, all around Lv28-31.

I really love the new characters. Colress is probably my favorite. The whole brilliant, slightly insane scientist thing is really entertaining. Hugh is more than a normal rival; there's depth to his character, just like Cheren and Bianca. Roxie was pretty entertaining as well.

What are your favorite music pieces so far? My favorites are:
Title
Aspertia City
Floccesy Town
Floccesy Ranch
Shooting in Pokestar Studios!
Eye Contact! Beauty (in Elesa's Gym)

Else I finished Kirby: Squeak Squad 100% 2-3 days ago. Really fun game actually. I especially liked it since it was more like the old games, too many weird Kirby-games on the DS (Mass Attack, Canvas Curse etc.)
I currently made my first try on the Elite Four in Pokemon Diamond now. Got beaten by Bertha (or what she's called) on her last Pokemon. I'm still kinda under-leveled ._.
When I'm done with Diamond, I'll probably take a small break and then start on Black or White

It all depends on whether you like that type of thing. I like reading novels, and I like a good plot. The sound effects and visuals really made it more than a novel; I really enjoyed that game. It's a bit freaky to play at night (though nothing's actually all that scary).

Let me know what you think of it when you get all the endings.

THEN I have to train my team up to level 100; shouldn't take too long. Just in case anyone wants to know, my team consists of: Meganium (lv. 100), Lapras (lv. 100), Salamence (lv. 51), Blaziken (lv. 51), Tyranitar (lv. 55) and Lucario (lv. 42).

Once I've done that, time to move on to Pokemon Black Version, THEN Pokemon Black Version 2. XD

Usually, when my older brother and I have a Pokemon battle, we just go all at it; no rules or restrictions (within reason...). He can use his Charizard's Fly how many times he wants/can (although it frustrates me, leading me to adopt Thunder and Rock Slide as some of my most used moves :P).

Though, in a "fair fight" I think the number of legendaries should be equal on both sides... Level 50 restrictions are just pure evil. :P

P.S. You know what's fun? Lv 100 Gengar battle. Basically first hit wins.

Also already finished Code of Princess. Hopefully the game is really good and there's a ton of post-game content, not to mention the online battles, so I still have a ton of things to do with that game.

another month, another post

After hearing you guys go on about the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon-games for so long, I thought I would try one after I finished Diamond.
So I'm currently playing Blue Rescue Team as Mudkip (+ Treecko). Pretty addictive game, even though it isn't without flaws (it's like playing Lufia 3 with a worse dungeon-generating system).  I'm currently stuck on trying to get past Moltres, and since I only got Treecko with me that gets 1-hit'd every single time, it's going to take awhile.

What else? Well, I just beat the Land of the Livid Dead in Rayman Origins. One of the best platformers I've ever played!
NHL09, SSBBrawl, GTA:San Andreas, Mario Kart DS, Borderlands 2 (lvl 45 (I think) Assassin) and some other games I stumble upon. I also plan on finishing the last 2 worlds in DKCR since I got it back from my brother

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on November 16, 2012, 08:58:26 PM
Hmm basically because they removed pretty much every RPG aspect the series had so far. No more partners, no more badges, no more exp... The sticker system is pretty cool, as you need to think about which stickers you feel like using, and managing them is cool as well, but there's absolutely no point in battling the enemies, since you don't level up anymore. You just beat them to get coins to buy new stickers, but if you don't battle them... you don't use your stickers. So really, why would I battle them? Also there are a lot of puzzles in the game, which is pretty nice. However, you can't try to experiment at all. You need to have the good sticker for the puzzle. The problem is, if you haven't found it, then you have to re-do all of the previous levels and see if you haven't forgotten something. I mean I love exploring every levels, and I usually find everything in a certain level before moving on, but the problem is that the game won't tell you if you forgot something somewhere. So if you come across a roadblock and you don't have the right sticker... well, have fun roaming the previous levels to find it. Also the hint system suck.

Some of the new features are great. I personally love the sticker system and the new world map (it's designed like the ones in platformers like NSMB games), but... I loved the series, but I'm really skeptical on some of the changes that were made. I wish the game looked more like an RPG.

SM64 was my first real video game. And it was frustrating beyond belief. I couldn't beat that dumb penguin race for such a long time. Then I figured out that there's a point that you can jump off of and land about 30 seconds later in the race. That's only an example though. I still haven't collected all the stars. Just five more 100 coin ones.

There are two shortcuts. One of them is built in purposefully, and if you use it while you're close to him, or something like that, he says you cheated. Near-ish the beginning, there's a curve you can jump off of that lets you land basically at the end if your aim is good. It's tricky though.

Some are hidden, some require certain items. If you've found the items in each dungeon you've completed, you should be able to get to other ones. You can find the hidden ones by testing walls and lakes.

Bushes? Yes. Dead trees in the southwestern corner of the map? No. Certain items reveal secrets if you know where to look. There are a couple of places you can go without items as well, but those take a while to find. That's all I'm giving you unless you want an example.

Skyward Sword was a great 25th Anniversary game. I still like the N64 games better. The controls, although fun, can get a little frustrating. Especially the Ghirahim battles when you have to quickly slash in a certain direction. As I would move my controller to the right starting spot it would recognize a slash, which would make me hit his sword wrong and lose 3 hearts.

I didn't find SS's controls frustrating at all, nor did I find it more difficult to fight bosses and stuff. I guess you moved the Wiimote too fast and that's why the game recognized that as being a slash? I personally didn't have that problem at all...

Because nobody else replied: I've only played the demo and part of the 64 version. It's more about surprising you and forcing you to react without destroying your ammo supply or firing too carefully and slowly. You really won't see hoards of zombies that do little damage, but tactically placed zombies that you have to avoid at all costs.

yes, it is. I'm on World five, and although the changes to the series are quite drastic compared to other greats like Thousand-Year Door, It is quite entertaining to play.

I agree. I did like Thousand Year Door better, but I still enjoyed Sticker Star and would suggest that you keep playing for at least a little bit more. It took a little bit getting used to (it was a bit stange not getting experience points at first), but I still liked the battles a lot and had a good time with the game. Some of the time might have come from having the game in sleep mode, but I put around 30 or so hours into it.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Yugi on January 17, 2013, 06:51:54 PM
I found something

In this new scenario, you'll be able to switch between Frodo and Sam. But, they're both basically in different area – Frodo is invisible, Sam is visible. The two can't interact with the world in the same way. I know it sounds complicated, but we'll explain!

Frodo can interact with Wraith Lego bricks. Wraith Lego bricks are ghostly white, with mist raising up from the bricks. As Frodo, look for a pile of Wraith Legos and construct them near the center.

Once the pieces are constructed, switch to Sam and smash the bricks to find more constructable bricks. Build the hopping bricks into another Lego kindling.

As Sam, you'll need to set five fires. Set this side-fire, then set the fire in the center of the area that's already set up for Sam.

There's a third fire right of the center. Each fire you set, you'll ward off the Wraiths. Now, you only need two more!

In the background, smash the wooden Lego cart until hopping bricks pop out. Construct the parts to create a fourth kindling. Set the fire, and you've got one more to go.

Right of the Lego cart is a Lego Statue in the far background, sitting on a patterned Lego surface. Push the statue, from the background into the foreground, to drop the Statue and smash it.

The statue will shatter and leave behind Wraith Lego bricks. Switch to Frodo to construct the bricks! Switch back to Sam, and start the fire. With all five fires set, you'll move onto the next part.

Aragorn will join the fight! Now you just have to defeat all five Wraiths! To send them reeling, you'll need to use fire. Aragorn starts with fire, hit a Ring-Wraith to set it on fire, and it'll run off.

That leaves four more Wraiths to defeat. To get more torches, you'll first need to start a fire. Construct the kindling just left of center, then switch to Sam to set the fire.

Now, you'll need wood to create torches! There are rocks and rubble all around the arena. Collect them, then follow the small yellow pointers to bound-up Lego plants. Smash all three with rocks, and don't forget that Sam has a torch, too!

Light every torch on the fire, then take out the Wraiths one at a time.

Once all five are chased off, you'll complete the level.

Hope this helps.

Bro VLR will drive you crazy if you let yourself think about the philosophies in it. I liked it better for the gameplay, but it wasn't as scary as 999 (because aksys games made the creator make it less scary when they found out people didn't buy the game because they were too scared of it).

Still they were both really awesome.

@blueflower Not yet, but my 3 first bd-wishes are "Money", "Wii U (black)" and "Money to buy a Wii U" ^^
I planned on waiting for a Rayman Legends-pack, but Ubi sux sometimes

@mkds As far as I know, MKDS belongs to the older DS-games and then I can't connect to the internet with it. I'm not going back to WEP-encryption just 'cause my DS demands it D:

Sometimes I actually like MKDS more. The driving in MK7 was way smoother, but that also made the game kinda easy + that MKDS got more content. MK7 could have been so much better :<

The best thing about Mario Kart DS that didn't carry over to Mario Kart 7 was Dry Bones. >:( I wish he was playable, but we had to get Honey Queen and Metal Mario and the like.

Also no Bowser Jr. :(

I remember I got a Nintendo DS for my tenth birthday, and some birthday money from relatives, so I went out and bought a couple games.

I remember the two I bought, they are two of my favorites for the DS to this day:
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Super Mario 64 DS

You don't know the meaning of fear! You're not afraid to keep moving forward in the face of danger. You also have a strong sense of justice and can't turn a blind eye to someone in trouble.

Well, they succeeded there!  :P But that's a good thing - I found the previous few Mega Man games to be on the easier side, so I'm glad to have a good challenge! The most annoying thing isn't so much losing to Wily again and again, but having to go through the 8 bosses again and again each time I get a game over...

Except for Wily, I'd agree with that. Once you learn their patterns it's pretty easy to beat most of the bosses without their weakness, and the stages weren't all that hard. I'm not sure which one I'd say was the hardest, though - possibly 1 or 2, but it's hard to say for sure, and each one had difficult parts. I hated those moving platforms that also shot at you in MM1!

Post by: Wiiplayer26 on April 15, 2013, 04:34:18 PM
Which Mega Man are you playing? Regardless, once the Wily stages open up, those are the only stages left to beat (although you can go back and get more E-tanks if you want to have more in case you need them).

Just be sure you have enough time next time you try since you have to beat the castle stages in one sitting. I just got screwed over in MM8 since I was at the end of the 4th stage and presumably about to face the final boss. But when I beat the last robot master again, we both died at nearly the same time (we both shot each other at once). So when the main area reloaded and it was going to let me into the next area, the screen was empty - Mega Man never showed up for me to control!! So I had to restart the game and start from the first Wily stage all over again!! >:( >:(

I didn't actually try this with the train (because I didn't know that Sabin had any other blitz techniques yet...), but that is great.

I'm currently at the part where Terra turned into an Esper and flew off; my favorite parts of the game so far are the areas where you have to fight in groups against advancing enemies- it reminds me a bit of the Fort Condor sections in VII.

I'm outside of Vector right now. I have a few things to say though:
Spoiler
The enemies in Zozo were terrible. Simply terrible. Also, why did Dadaluma say that he hates fighting... and then proceed to attack you? Does he just have a really bad sense of humor? :P
I liked the Opera House scene, but fighting through all the rat-creatures within the time limit was rather frustrating. Also, Locke is really weak for me at the current point: he takes a lot of damage, and Ultros was able to kill him before anybody had a chance to heal him (Cyan and Edgar made short work of him, though).

The Floating Continent was intense. I beat Atma/Ultima Weapon mainly by having Terra use Bolt 2 for over 2,000 damage each time; needless to say, I beat it just barely (Osmose wasn't working well and/or fast enough). Since she was the only one equipped with a Gaia Gear, and Shadow had Float status, she took the least damage.
RIP Blackjack. Into two pieces. (terribly sorry for yet another bad joke)

Also, I saved Cid after giving him enough fish (both fast and slow D:) to feed a community for a whole week! I think he might need to go on a diet (which is very likely if he can't catch fish very well).

I finished Tales of Symphonia, so now I'm playing through the Mega Man X games on the collection. Sigma's final form in MMX is giving me quite a bit of trouble - much more than the Yellow Devil gave me, who I honestly never really found that hard, even without the pause trick (Wily in MM7 gave me much more trouble than any other boss in the original Mega Man games). I can get to Sigma without getting hit many times by the previous two bosses, but the final form just destroys me! Looks like I need more practice - it's been a long time since I've beaten this game!

Try watching Dudeman's LP of it in the Creativity Corner. He pwns that boss. xD

And also, for some reason I suck at the Yellow Devil and could never get the pause trick to work.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Wiiplayer26 on May 26, 2013, 07:55:56 PM
Heh, I actually just beat him! Guess it wasn't as hard as I thought. :P His attacks do a ton of damage, but once I learned his patterns it wasn't too bad (although it was a very close fight - one or two more hits and I would have died). The timing couldn't have been better, as that was going to be my last try for the day, meaning I would've had to go through the previous Sigma stages again tomorrow. Phew! On to X2!

For the Yellow Devil I just kept trying until I memorized his pattern, and then practiced until I got the timing of the jumps down (which can be a pain at first, since if you jump too high or too low, that'll result in you getting hit). Keep trying, you'll get it after enough practice!

Edit: Just watched Dudeman's video, and it turns out I made the fight MUCH harder than it needed to be - I just used the X-Buster!!! I thought I tried all the weapons against Sigma, but I either carelessly skipped over the shield weapon, or I simply missed when I tried it (in turn thinking that it didn't work against Sigma). Oh well, it did make for a pretty intense fight!!

I borrowed Luigi's Mansion from a friend. (This is the original for GameCube)

It was a pretty enjoyable game. Lots of secrets kept your on your toes. The characters were great and the world overall was a combination of "scary" and adorable. The controls take a lot of getting used to, but overall I enjoyed the experience.

I'm wondering how similar the one on 3DS is to the original.

Luigi's Mansion is such a great game, though.  Even if the 3DS one is ultimately better, I feel like the original had atmosphere and easy charm that would be difficult to match.  Easily one of my favorite non-Zelda games.

Still though, I don't see any way you can call either of those games "terrible."  Yes, they have a lot to live up to, and I agree they don't quite reach the heights of some of the earlier games.  Just because they're not the best in a series doesn't make them bad though.

Phantom Hourglass was frustrating at times. Spirit Tracks less so, but that one bug race thing in the cave was terrible. I can't say I was fond of the invincible enemies, but I didn't dislike the games at all. I would never call them terrible, but I can't say they were amazing either.

Perfect Dark: Trying to complete all the missions on Perfect Agent, get Gold on all weapons, and unlock all the cheats (which usually involves speedrunning a lot of frustrating missions).

I finished Mega Man X4 the other day (the final boss was challenging, but not too bad once I learned the pattern of his attacks). I'm up to the final stages of X5 so I'll hopefully beat it within a day or two. That'll just leave one more X game to finish on the collection! I might play the Wii Tales of Symphonia next.

Nope, not yet. I'm going to go back through the regular stages to get as many items as I can find before I attempt the final stages. Do you have to do them all in one sitting like most of the other Mega Man games? You could save pretty much right before the final boss in X4 - can you do that in X5 as well?

I finished Mega Man X5 the other day, so I'm playing X6 now. It's harder than the others, but not too ridiculous (not yet anyway). The hardest thing I've encountered so far is that fire stage by far (I hate that miniboss you have to fight several times...).

It's a pain saving those reploids since I hope to save all of them on this playthrough - especially since if one dies, you can't simply die and start the level again. Instead, you have to reload your old save, which is extremely annoying since I have to restart the whole system - that means loading X6 from the collection, then loading my file. That can be annoying when you have to do that over and over again when one of those virus things kills a reploid just seconds before you can reach them...

Just so you know, I had already finished Portal by the time I had posted that. I tried out Bastion, and it's cool (make that epic because of The Stranger's narration), but I'm interested in other stuff for now. I really want to play Dark Souls, but the controls are terrible as [insert horrifying idea/object/creature here] for PC, so I'm going to see if I can find a friend to lend me a controller. I'm actually taking more of an interest in Borderlands right now. I do not recommend soloing it with Zero if you get frustrated easily.

I doubt many/any of you know what I'm talking about, but:
I like how in the game Comet Crash, in an oddly irritating way, the waves of enemies adjust to you. For example, on the Helios Resurgence map, the enemy started by sending tons of scouts (or tanks?) at me, until I fought them back with Pulsars and Thieves, at which point, they started producing more Switch units (which temporarily negate the Pulsars), and replaced their Scouts/Tanks with Drones, noting my lack of Laser defenses. :P
When I finally beat the map, I ended with an epic showdown, sending my full army of 900+ drones at them, prompting a counterattack by their 900+ drones (too late for them, however!).
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Zunawe on July 16, 2013, 03:56:29 PM
Finished Bastion. If you've played it and want to talk, don't spoil anything, just PM me about it.

It was a great game. The story picks up a little closer to the end, but it's a good ending. The narration part of it was cool, I enjoyed it, and his voice is great. He narrates the entire story and most of your actions as well as explaining what other people say for almost the entire game. The only other voices you hear are gibberish spoken by some enemies as they attack you.

I'm playing it in Japanese. I can understand some Japanese (not so good at speaking/writing it though), and I know someone who understands Japanese fluently, so we're going through it together.

This guy though, is doing a translated playthrough on Youtube. I haven't seen all of it, but from what I did see, he's doing a really quality job of translating/localizing it:

I thought the first few hours were kinda boring too, since you were just saving that same person over and over again, but eventually the plots/puzzles evolve and it becomes pretty good. Not as good as the AA series, but it's still a very good game imho.

Nah, I agree with him. I noticed it a little bit while I was playing, but it finally hit me once I put the songs on my iPod. Whenever a Skyward Sword would come up on shuffle, I'd skip it without thinking too much. Despite being orchestrated I think it had the weakest soundtrack of the 3D Zelda games. There still were some amazing songs though (Skyloft, anything Ghirahim related)

The only songs I can actually remember from Skyward Sword are the Ghirahim theme, the Ghirahim battle theme, and The Sky. I'm sure I'd recognize much more, but I can't remember the sound of anything else.

I personally thought it was a fairly mediocre Zelda game. There were some fun moments recognizing hints at past games, and the game was fun overall, but I think it lost way too much with the semi-open world versus the open world of every other 3D zelda.

Quote from: Roz~ on August 10, 2013, 07:54:38 AMHow do you feel about Apollo Justice so far? I thought it was a good game, but it definitely wasn't as good as the other AA games.

Spoiler
I like Apollo a lot, but Phoenix is an entirely different character and Apollo is basically a carbon copy of the old Phoenix. Also, unfortunately, the first three cases aren't really on par with the other games, especially episode 2 which ranks as my least favorite case of the series.

Also, Apollo is kind if getting gypped in his own game, like especially with episode 4 so far--it's a lot more about Phoenix than it is Apollo, and I feel like Apollo should have more to do with it. It's great that they let you play as Phoenix, but it just seems a bit out of place in a game about Apollo. He doesn't have any sort of backstory like Phoenix did.

It's still great because there's no such thing as a bad Ace Attorney game, but it's a bit of a disappointment after Trials and Tribulations.

Post by: SlowPokemon on September 26, 2013, 06:12:46 AM
I liked Sunshine okay, but imo it's nowhere near as good as any of the other 3D Mario platformers, not even Super Mario 3D Land. It was unique, but it's more of an odd man out than anything else.

As for what I'm playing--I finished the first episode of Ace Attorney Investigations, and I need to force myself to play the rest of the game... Ace Attorney is great and all, but when you play a lot of them in a row, the gameplay can become a bit tedious. In the meantime, I'm still replaying Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. I'm in Dreamy Mount Pajamaja at the moment.

You're such a killjoy...  I've never played 3D land, but aside from that having superior graphical software, it's just the exact same thing as every other mario game with a bit of a twist.   Sunshine and Mansion were completely fresh, and that's what I like most about them, that they're not just linear and actually have things to do if you don't want to do that next level quite yet.

I was reading a guide on how to get some of the blue coins, primarily the ones in Bianco Hills... "Use the hover nozzle on top of the tree with the thing on it and the blue coin will eventually appear." Seriously, how do people find out these things? Does Nintendo tell them just for the purpose of making the guide or what?

A Wii U isn't really worth it unless you are a diehard fan of Zelda or haven't played the original Wind Waker, or if you really want Pikmin 3. However, that may change soon, with Smash Bros. and Mario Kart and the rest on the way.

A 3DS on the other hand, as Roz said, has so many great games it's incredible. Here are my favorites (arranged in alphabetical order):

Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Mario Kart 7
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Super Mario 3D Land
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

^I'd consider every one of those games at least an 8 out of 10, and most of them a 9 or above. And then there are the games that I haven't played but have been really well received, like Kid Icarus Uprising and Fire Emblem Awakening, and all of the virtual console and digital 3DS games that are available via the eShop. And upcoming games like Pokemon X and Y, the new Ace Attorney, and the next two Professor Layton games look to be very good.

Basically, get a 3DS and you'll never put it down. All I can say is to definitely get the XL though; it's more expensive but the regular 3DS doesn't even compare. Take advantage of the new Pokemon themed systems haha, they'll be sold out everywhere soon enough.

Hmmm...
Is it weird if I don't think it's worth it?  I mean my brother's friend has an XL and it feels like it's made for little kids.  Besides, how am I going to fit it in my pocket?  Doesn't it have a micro-SD slot for additional storage?  So it would mainly be for battery life, but as long as I charged it overnight that wouldn't be much of a problem...

The display is 13457744 times better than the regular one. I used to have a normal 3DS and upgrading was one of the best decisions I ever made. This coming from someone who hated the DSi XL.

This is exactly why I'm getting a 3DSXL (eventually). Especially now that they released it in Black as opposed to Red or Blue.

The Wonderful 101.

Still not too sure what to think of it. It has some really fantastic over-the-top moments and is fun to play...for the most part. It's also frustratingly difficult at times. And when you finally complete the level, you get the worst rank and the game pretty much tells you that you suck.

Also bought X-COM Enemy Unknown from the Steam sale. Been looking at it for ages as I love turn-based games.

I don't really know, coming into it after playing both Batman Arkham games probably made it hard for me to play, considering the difference in quality between the two of them.

I had a look at the DS version, however, and it seems to be bearable, provided that I mess around with the controls.

tl;dr: It hasn't aged well and it's hard to play.

...what?

The DS version had some awkward controls, sure it was playable, but not for extended periods of time. The original has aged very well, even if the original controllers haven't.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: FierceDeity on November 24, 2013, 10:16:09 PM
Camera angles are literally the only thing that's weird about it (and that's not too much different in the DS version, anyways). Everything else is seamless. If you're not used to the controller, you're not used to the controller, but it works just fine. Even then, controls are just one item on an extensive list of criteria determining a game's quality/whether it's aged well.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on November 25, 2013, 05:00:47 AM

Can't get over the fact that you called it "bearable" like you don't even think it's good...I mean you have a right to an opinion but you might want to rethink that one.

Also weirdly enough I actually liked the DS version better. But both are great.

But Mario is not Batman therefore it cannot be as good

And you really can't compare the games as one is just a super core platformer and the other is open world adventure with various items to give puzzles and enhance combat.  Mario 64 is just a classic title as it was one of the first solid 3D adventure games (as far as I know..)  Not that it isn't good, it's just not something you can compare well at all.

Anyway I got Metal Gear Solid Legacy collection and am playing through those atm.  Already had completed MGS1 before and just now finished MGS2.  Fantastic game with a lot of surprisingly thought provoking themes.  Starting 3 now... but probably won't touch it much until next week when finals wind down..

Lololol you're wrong on all accounts, especially that you can't compare it with anything. There's a reason that the rerelease was my favorite game on the DS for a long time as a ten year old. The game still holds up just as well compared to modern games, and I can safely say it is much more fun that arkham asylum which is 90% mindless button mashing.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on December 05, 2013, 10:02:51 PM
1) I said those specific two games because of the reasons I listed which you didn't read
2) If you were button mashing you weren't playing the game properly and didn't understand the combat mechanics (relate this to people that manage to succeed through dumb luck button mashing in SSBM, though of course that is a good deal more complex..)

1. I read your reasons, it's just that they were wrong???? You said that it's "just a core platformer" even though the puzzle work in that game is some of the cleverest I've seen in any game and certainly more interesting. It's definitely more open world than Arkham Asylum l0l. In addition, you basically said that even though Mario is praised a classic, it was just revolutionary in its field and good for its time, and as such can't be compared favorably to more modern games. While I'd agree with that 100% regarding games like Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64 is not just the FIRST of its kind, it was also the LAST of its kind, meaning the extent of its greatness haven't been reached in any 3D platformer since (except by later Mario games such as Super Mario Galaxy 2). If you give Super Mario 64 to someone who's familiar with modern games of 2013, they'd find it just as enthralling as someone in 1996 would.

2. No, Arkham Asylum was a cakewalk and button mashing was pretty much the extent of the combat. lol it's quite a good game, but it's far from a masterpiece.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

I don't think you understand what I mean by an "open-world" game, but that is understandable given you seem to only have experience with Nintendo systems and I can't think of many that originate there.  I suppose you could consider games like SM64 and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie as precursors to the modern interpretation of that, but they really aren't quite the same.  What is now open world is in some ways an evolution of that style of gameplay.

And no, that is not at all what I said.  My point is your comparison on what game is better lies inherently in "well i like it better so its a better game", ignoring the core differences in the gameplay and design.  Games you can compare in such a fashion are ones with much more similarities, such as the standard definition of an FPS, or standard definition of an open-world i.e. Arkham, Assassin's Creed, Infamous, Saint's Row, GTA, etc etc etc.  There are variations of course in how each operate, but many have similar aspects like the large areas to explore, various things to collect, quests and sidequests, and in some cases similar combat systems.

I wouldn't consider the mere fact that SM64 has aged well a basic fact of it being 'better' than other games.  It it simply that, a very good game that has aged well.  You can favor it over others because of preference, nostalgia goggles, or whatever else, but pretending it is objectively better for those reasons is just incorrect.

And I suppose I do have to explain it to you.  While it is possible to brute force your way through the easier difficulties (as is true with many games), you are much more successful (and it is much more enjoyable), when you learn how to time attacks and blocks to keep your combo up, weave in your gadgets for variety and advantage in certain situations, and (at least in the later games) strategically executing the high combo special attacks.

And there's the predator sequences (which can again be somewhat brute forced through on low difficulty) that there is just no possible comparison to with a much more basic title like SM64.  All in all the "modern" style game like AA is a much more complex creation, as are many of the "modern" games you seem to loathe.  If for some reason you are unable to enjoy anything besides the Nintendo iteration cycle, then that's your deal, but don't go on and start saying all modern games are bad because they aren't Zelda or Mario.

Fun Fact: In 1994, a JRPG for the SNES was released, it got negitive reviews, mostly for it's tedious dungeon crawling and utterly horrid battle system.

This game was Earthbound, a game that is now virtually immune to criticism, and is regarded as one of the greatest RPG's of all time.

1. It was 1995 on the SNES, 1994 was its Japanese release date on the Super Famicom.
2. It wasn't critiqued as much for the battle system as it was for its weird sense of humor and the fact that America wasn't used to RPGs at the time.
3. There isn't much tedious dungeon crawling and the battle system is anything but horrid.

^^ This. I love the battle system in EarthBound. The scrolling health bar is a great way of encouraging quick action in dire situations, while still maintaining turn-based combat. It may not be ordinary, but it's genius. And yeah, the dungeons are generally pretty short, and pretty interesting.

If you seriously must know an example, It's a Wonderful Life is now considered a Christmas classic, but wasn't so at the time of its release. In a similar vein, A Christmas Story only had moderate success at the time of its release.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, Blade Runner was "Misunderstood when it first hit theaters."

Though, I think these films would constitute more as "underappreciated" rather than completely negative.

Oh, a playing update. Hmm..

I beat Mario & Luigi: Dream Team on Hard Mode, and with that I've beaten it three times and I think I'm done with it for some time. It was a really good game considering it was 40+ hours and I beat it three times in the space of five months.

I'm about at the second gym in Pokemon X (I restarted). My team is:
Minccino
Mawile
Frogadier
Charmeleon
Pikachu
Tyrunt/Smoochum (Was Smoochum, but I think I'm trading it out for Tyrunt)

The only Pokemon I use is Minccino though, unless I need any of the other ones ^^ I want a Lv. 100 Cinccino. I'm considering trying for the same thing with Mawile because that's my best friend's favorite Pokemon.

I'm also replaying the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy, this time on iOS, and I'm on episode 3 of Justice For All, "Turnabout Big Top"... which is always a fun one...

So yeah, guess I should update my backloggery.

I finally got all the achievements for Dishonored's base game, which wasn't too bad. Then got the Knife of Dunwall ones, which also wasn't terribly hard. And then came the Dunwall City trials. And if you've attempted it, you would know why it took my 4 hours on one trial just to get Headhunter. I can see that level in my sleep. I know the exact position of one of the guys' heads at exactly 12 seconds in. It hurt, but it was worth it.

Just finished fire emblem: awakening, and
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS SO GOOD
actual spoilers (duh)
First of all, I chose to sacrifice myself in order to kill Grima permanently, partially because it was the right thing to do, and partially because it's kind of obvious you're going to come back anyways. I mean, "There's like, noooo way you'd survive. You could only make it on the super duper slim chance that you made some strong bonds with your friends, and I mean, we all know THAT didn't happen." Naga please. And even though that scenario is super cheesy, I still loved it, and I'd be lying if I said that tears were not shed as they were going through the dialogue of every member of my army reflecting on my disappearance. I think that was my general reaction to the whole game, really. Like, there were a lot of points in the plot where it's just like "oh, that's convenient". Like, oh wow, I just happened to "weaken my magic" (however that works) before attacking Chrom, because the plot demands it? And oh wow, Chrom is really good at pretending to die (which he did for, you know, dramatic effect). But, the overall experience was amazing enough to the point where I can forgive these minor inconsistencies.

All in all, great game. 10/10 will play again.
Also, great soundtrack. 10/10 will wait like a month to listen to it again, then cry while listening to "Don't Speak Her Name".

I just wish the 3D effect wasn't done so poorly.  It does look sort of neat in battles but the slowdown it causes makes the game unenjoyable when kept on.

The 3D effect is usually pretty meh in games. The worst 3D I've seen on the system is Pokemon X and Y.

However, certain games use it really well, my favorite uses being Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright. It also adds some weight to games like Fire Emblem and Super Mario 3D Land.

I'd agree with that, if you don't count Ace Attorney 5 (which beats it by a long shot). I might say Attack of the Friday Monsters is better, too, though that's just more my style.

Isn't the ending like 80 hours long
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on January 08, 2014, 08:56:04 PM
The epilogue is about 70ish minutes I think?  But the whole ending sequence is about 2 hours total if you include the bits of gameplay that are more cinematic plus boss fight (which isn't long).

Right now, I'm mainly playing Borderlands 2 and HoMM VI (calling it that because MMH VI is just wrong).

Borderlands is very fun, but the beginning was extremely rough (especially starting with Zer0- I have mastered the art of using sniper rifles, though, so that's a plus!). The bosses are intense, even though I'm overleveled a little bit, especially Wilhelm (who I had to defeat with a little sniper-rifle exploit :P).

HoMM VI is a good game- although I'm not too far in, I like it a little bit better than HoMM V, but I still have a few complaints about it:
1: Needing Uplay to play is frivolous.
2: Lack of all the typical resources is a bit unnerving for a longtime player like me- I would have preferred if, instead of just eliminating the resources, they added a resource specific to each faction (e.g. crystals for Haven, sulfur for Inferno).
3: Mission-based gameplay makes the campaign somewhat easier than the older games (although this is also a complaint I had with HoMM V).
4: Some of the creatures look a bit too "WoW-ish" (this was also a complaint about HoMM V- in specific, the muscle demons (http://monkey10309.tripod.com/images/HOMM5_Inferno_Creature_Horned_overseer.jpg)). This is more of a complaint about the world Ubi has created rather than the game itself.

I mean, based on that quote, you probably have an idea of what my answer's going to be :P
But yeah, I think it really does live up to the hype. Beautiful soundtrack, beautiful take on link to the past animation, great "open world" feel, pretty good story. The wall merging thing didn't end up being nearly as gimmicky as I thought it'd be, either; it added a nice dimension no pun intended to puzzles.

GAH
You've been missing out, haha.

I never actually felt compelled to finish DKC Returns, so take that for what it's worth. It's definitely a fun game, and as always, the 2 player gameplay is nice. It just didn't really seem that special in comparison to the other DKC games; it's like they just wanted to make a game to prove that Retro can do the same things with Donkey Kong that Rare did. And I mean, they kind of can, but they do have a pretty good template to go off of. I'd say play it, if only so that you can experience a Donkey Kong Country game.

My favorite game in the franchise, though, is Donkey Kong 64, which is really more like Banjo Kazooie than any other Donkey Kong game. I would definitely recommend you try that, as I feel that that (like Banjo Kazooie) was Rare at their best.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on February 01, 2014, 11:53:25 PM
Hm, duly noted. I have a Nintendo 64, so maybe I'll try locating DK64.

Also, over the course of a few hours last night/today I played a downloadable title called Little Inferno.

It's available on iOS, PC/Mac, and Wii U, and I highly recommend it if you're interested in playing something that is totally different from any conventional game. It's not hard, it's simple, it's addictive, and it's smart. You might not really understand what's happening in the story, but by the time you hit the end, you'll be shocked that it actually managed to make an impression on you.

It's $3 on the iOS store ($5 for the HD version), and I think $10 for PC and Wii U. It took me about 3.5 hours to finish the main story, but that's only doing about half of the puzzles in the game. If you get the chance, check it out.

When it comes to the 2D-platformer styled DKCs, Donkey Kong Country 3's my personal favourite, but I would recommend DKC2 since it's just as fun and has the best OST in my opinion. DKC Returns was a decent game, but definitely on the bottom of my list for DKC titles. I liked the 3DS version better than the Wii one at least, and Tropical Freeze looks awesome, so Returns is worth playing to at least get a feel for the series.

Little Inferno was neat, but I feel like it's too much of a "one-and-done" deal. I didn't buy it myself and only borrowed it, but I definitely didn't have any urge to go back to it after playing through it once.

Metal Gear Rising is probably one of the most entertaining games I've ever played.  The combat is always satisfying, soundtrack keeps you pumped up, and there's enough variety in situations and boss fights to make it an overall super fun experience.  Had a chance to play just a bit past the second boss a few days back and everything is all like

Played that game at a friend's house, and it was just way too fun from start to finish. It's just so over the top, and you always feel awesome whether you're going through missions stealthily or just hacking-and-slashing through them with all of your cool moves.

Also, I got the Collector's Edition for Bravely Default the other day (cost me nothing to upgrade to it too!). Pretty excited for this game since I've been waiting for it since the game came out in Japan, and the demo seemed promising. Don't know what to think of the story so far (I think the dialogue's been kinda bland), but the gameplay's pretty fun. The Brave/Default systems seem like they'll make boss fights really interesting later on, and it actually rewards you for putting the game in Sleep Mode, so I'll probably have it in my 3DS 90% of the time. >_>

Pretty helpful that NES doesn't have that mic thingy on the 2nd controller. It doesn't help that I have a nightmare about polls voice things so I really need a famicom. So after my 30th try at the temple I just said fuck it and paused the game so I can take a rest. And now I'm arranging while visiting ninsheet.

Every playthrough, I just ran through the Fridge cuz screw that place. It's good if you have a class that heals using its action skill (Psycho, Gunzerker, Assassin(?)).

I didn't even realize it was a problem until I played Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon while someone else was in the room and I said angrily "get your shit together luigi"

lol jk I totally used time stop for quick man's stage, so I can't really say that. Although the level was pretty much designed in a way that you know they intended for you to use it.
I also tried doing that stage without it a couple times, ended up getting to the very last beam and dying, so I ragequit and gave in to time stop...

Yah, the level of difficulty has dropped with these games. Usually I'd complain, but I always found the Yoshi series to be SERIOUSLY hard... Though, I don't think having an excessive amount of lives is really doing to help. I've got 150 and I'm up to World 2-3. XDDD

It was relatively easy to get lives in the original Yoshi's Island too... I still remember that button input (for the GBA version) to access all the minigames!

defining a game's difficulty by the amount of lives doesn't really make sense. When you get a game over you just are given 5 extra lives and restart the level. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze definitely has some difficult levels, yet I have the amount of lives maxed. Rayman Legends doesn't count lives, yet it is challenging, as the challenge isn't based on the number of lives you collect.

However, when thinking about, say, Mario. The coins and 1ups are such iconic collectibles, that I don't really know what they could replace them with to still have something collectable in the levels.

It's basically an extended version of the original(I think) and has cut scenes from the anime. But it doesn't have all the same voice actors as the original game and neither does the anime or P4: Arena, which I'm constantly annoyed by since the the originals were miles better imo.

But P4 is probably the 2nd best rpg I've ever played and one of the few games to even get close to Dark Cloud 2 in terms of how much I enjoyed it.

I don't think you understood the point I was trying to make (even though I wasn't really trying to make a point to begin with)
I'm not saying the game is easy 'cause I have a buttload of lives. My point was that having ~85 lives when you only played through 1 world, so 8 levels of a game is pretty ridiculous, especially when the game is fairly easy and you're never dying anyway. Yoshi's New Island isn't easy because you get a buttload of lives early on, it's easy, period.  Oh, and you're not just getting lives by collecting coins in the game, so there's that too.

Also I don't really mind the Game Over screen, even though I agree they are somewhat useless nowadays. I've been playing JRPGs since I was a kid so I guess I just got used to the "Your party was wiped out" message. =P

I agree with you on that. For example, FFX is fairly easy, but now that we finally have the International version we get to fight the Dark Aeons and Penance who all have between 1 and 12 milions HP, and I'm really looking forward to this. Not to say that easy games are boring, but it feels like they lack something.

This is why (other than Yoshi's Island) I can't stand current Mario games. The formula bugs me. I understand the classic level-to-level platforming, but it just gets so BORING after a while. They all become expansions on one big game!

That's why my favorite Mario games are the ones with an open overworld, like SM64, Sunshine, Galaxy, Paper Mario (mind Sticker Star, it was okay)...the whole "level" thing just doesn't work for me anymore.

yes, I have played it at Shadowkirby's house, and I'll agree that it is a beautiful game, and the levels are quite open, but the linear feel of it kinda ruins it for me.

Honestly, when I got my 3DS and I began Super Mario 3D land, that's what I was most disappointed about, that it was just a bunch of 3D levels, instead of worlds to explore. I WANNA COLLECT STARS AGAIN!!!

I feel like that's why SM64 and SMG may be so popular, because you can tackle the levels in any order instead of it being "go from A to B then B to C", and it's why Sunshine is my favorite Mario game :P

1) It's not that Mario games have gotten easier now than they "used to be", it's just that most of us have been playing them all of our lives that we just got good at them.
2) I have evidence of this as I have younger relatives (ages 5-7) who have been introduced to video games, Mario specifically, by me personally and I've shown them games throughout the series' history. While the original SMB may seem like an easy romp to me, they have some trouble with it as the game goes on, just as they did with SM64 and recently 3D World.
3) Galaxy was the first game in the series where the games started to return to the linear formula. The game itself may be big, but that's only because it has several "micro levels" on a scale compared to 64 and Sunshine.
4) Difficulty is an indication of skill required; Challenge is an indication of critical thinking needed to solve a problem. An easy game doesn't mean it's not challenging, and a challenging game does not mean it's hard.

I beg to differ. The first Mario game I played was 64, the next was Galaxy, and it's kinda expanded from there (so I never played handheld games or early ones until much later in life). I find the earlier console and handhelds much harder than the recent ones. Super Mario 3D Land is many times easier than Super Mario Bros.

I agree with you here! Although games have gotten easier, I do take into account the fact that I'm getting older and much better at them too. For instance, if I went back and played Donkey Kong Country 3 on the GBA, I wouldn't die anywhere near as much as I did back when I was 10 or so... God that was a hard game. XD

Not that easier (within limits) is necessarily bad for a Nintendo game. Nintendo started off when all other console-based game companies were either fucked or didn't exist yet; they didn't need to cater specifically to children, because they were the only ones really catering to anyone since the crash. Now that other companies have risen, Nintendo has the reputation of being the only major company to keep all of their first-party games completely kid-friendly. So, instead of making their games some high-investment test of technical ability that most younger kids won't have patience for, they've focused on story-telling and world-creating, and been very successful at creating an immersive experience in this way. I don't care that Super Mario Galaxy wasn't extremely difficult to me, as long as it provided at least some challenge along the way (and it did). It's the running around and between worlds, the amazing score, and the cheesy-yet-satisfying story that make it one of my favorite games of all time.

You can make a game not particularly difficult yet entertaining so long as you have a sufficient level of variety in the environments and gameplay.  That's generally my issue with the NSMB series since they're all the same game and for the most part boringly easy.  That's how I started feeling halfway through Super Mario 3D Land as well, and it pretty much just became my casual game of choice for the month.  Haven't touched it in a few though..

Nintendo would do well to just switch entirely to portable casual experience, they seem to be quite good at it, and certainly have a better grasp of it than the home console.

At the moment this is obviously true, but you can't deny the huge success of the Wii.

Xbone has been having a bit of trouble, but PS4 sales have been fantastic.  However, both are leaps and bounds ahead of Wii U.

The biggest issue with Wii U is the archaic online and outdated hardware which will guarantee it never gets a big 3rd party showing.  The only way for Nintendo to zap some life into it would be to buy a bunch of studios or make a lot more publishing deals like they did with Bayonetta so that they can actually have a library to make the console more appealing to the average consumer.  They also need to actually freaking advertise for once since half of everyone just thinks it's some addon for the Wii or barely different.

Honestly I would hope they would just make this a short life console and give us a real next gen machine within another year or two, but seeing them kick life into some of their more unused IP (a la Retro with Metroid) and maybe spark up some new ones would also be fabulous.  This upcoming E3 (well their not really E3 Nintendo Direct) is probably the most important moment for the near future of Nintendo.

That was before the PS4's release and they were banking on its sales to keep them from going under, methinks. But their sales for it are at some 6 million units, so I think they're doing okay.

Also, Persona 3's lack of letting me control any members in my party except the protagonist is really starting to bug me. It completely takes the strategy out of fights, which is the one fun thing about turned-based combat. Also, party members do tons of things that piss me off.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 26, 2014, 05:49:34 AMThat sounds pretty intelligent for complete BS

There have been multiple articles published on major websites detailing many things I mentioned, some of which I've posted here.  There's nothing wrong with engaging in a bit of constructive criticism, no matter how much fanboy blood flows within ;)

If you disagree and wish to engage in a conversation or debate, then feel free to bring up your own arguments.  Railing off with juvenile prattle is not constructive and does nothing to help with whatever point you're trying to make.

Quote from: KefkaticFanatic on March 25, 2014, 07:30:54 PMXbone has been having a bit of trouble, but PS4 sales have been fantastic.  However, both are leaps and bounds ahead of Wii U.

The biggest issue with Wii U is the archaic online and outdated hardware which will guarantee it never gets a big 3rd party showing.  The only way for Nintendo to zap some life into it would be to buy a bunch of studios or make a lot more publishing deals like they did with Bayonetta so that they can actually have a library to make the console more appealing to the average consumer.  They also need to actually freaking advertise for once since half of everyone just thinks it's some addon for the Wii or barely different.

Honestly I would hope they would just make this a short life console and give us a real next gen machine within another year or two, but seeing them kick life into some of their more unused IP (a la Retro with Metroid) and maybe spark up some new ones would also be fabulous.  This upcoming E3 (well their not really E3 Nintendo Direct) is probably the most important moment for the near future of Nintendo.

This so hard. I agree with blue that the wii had a nice library of games, but sparingly were they 3rd party games. And on the topic of Metroid, fans want another game so much that they've gone to making their own. Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope, ReVeN, and Paradise Lost: First Contact are all Metroid-esque games that all destroied their kickstarter goal.

Back when the whole "Nintendo finally lowered their sales projections for the WiiU, they're so fuuucked" thing was going on, the one potential solution that I saw that I really liked was the idea of Nintendo actually making use of all their stockpiled money to pump a shitload of first party games for the WiiU, and worry more about third party support for the next wave of consoles. Easier said than done, obviously, but there's no denying that first party games are the main reason anyone buys Nintendo consoles, anyways.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on March 26, 2014, 07:07:52 PM
Yea, I would love to see them give other studios some of their more neglected franchises, i.e. Star Fox or F Zero, and let them take their own direction with it.  We could end up with a bunch of amazing games like how Retro did their own thing with Metroid.

Retro won't have my full respect until they make a new DK64 style game. God knows Rare isn't gonna do it with banjo kazooie...

I mean, yeah, new, unique approaches to old games are great, but I feel like that formula with DK64 and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie wasn't explored neeearly enough. also it's not like there's anything particularly new or unique about what retro's doing with donkey kong at the moment, so...

I'm disappointed that they've been going the whole "lets just rehash the old game with fancy visuals" route that Nintendo has been doing with DK, but given that we did only have one DK64 I would probably not mind a 'rehash' in that sort of manner so much :P

Plus like FD said, there's plenty more to expand on in the big collection adventure game.

I may have to start a new Terraria world. This is what my friend and I have built since the 1.2 update. We named the world Oceania, and we have two other minor worlds called Eastasia and Eurasia for ores we didn't get in this one.

Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Ice%20House.PNG)
This is my house, and I'll probably elaborate on it and change it eventually. It's got pianos, of course. The chest next to the bed has all my pet items, the chests on the left are just junk stuff that I'll have to organize eventually. There's a fountain below the hallway up, and an obsidian generator next to that. The bottom right is a snowball turret defense system that actually worked pretty well for goblin invasions. The right side is open so I can run out into a battle if I die.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Tree%20House.PNG)
Slightly modified giant tree that this entire thing started as. We dug it out and made the side rooms in as organic a way as we could. The crafting workspace got a little cluttered, but it's not impossible to find what you're looking for. Those chests are filled with a ton of stuff though. I'll probably have to clean that out eventually. We built a beehive room for lolz. I think it's cool. The chests in the tree contain ores, accessories, and weapons separated by damage type. The top opens up via a switch and pressure plate.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Other%20House.PNG)
My friend's house. I'm not exactly sure what he was going for. He's got the wizard up there and a crystal ball, but that's about the only theme I've seen. Something about an art gallery too.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/NPC%20Homes.PNG)
Basic NPC home structure. I dunno. We might change it around if we feel like it. That other room is our goldfish farm for getting money before hardmode. We have a bathroom too... My friend made that.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Trophy%20Room.PNG)
Very unfinished trophy room for boss trophies. Not sure what else might go in here.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Weapons%20Storage.PNG)
Each of those chests contains (or will contain) a single copy of all the items that can be made with the ore below it that isn't a piece of armor. This is also unfinished.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Armory%20and%20Closet.PNG)
This is meant to contain every single piece of armor or vanity piece in the game eventually. Obviously unfinished with the walls, and many of the items are missing. What we have has taken quite a while. Especially the chlorophyte stuff.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Sky%20Mushroom%20Farm.PNG)
Our glowing mushroom farm that we don't really use anymore. It's got a house for the NPC.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Dye%20Trader%27s%20House.PNG)
This is where we store dye. Currently going for three of every dye in the game. It takes quite a long time to collect them though. Materials were salvaged from floating islands.
[close]
Spoiler
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81425442/Full%20View.PNG)
Final overview to see how everything's connected. That room near the bottom has some stuff from hell, but there's not much to it. The stuff below the entrances are lava pits and traps for invasions. Enemies walk into the lava and burn or try to get to the center of the tree and trigger spear traps from above.
[close]

At this point it's all a matter of collecting items and building. I've obtained and reforged basically the best items in the game. Spooky Wings, Shroomite bullet-focused armor, Frostspark Boots, Ankh Shield, Lava Waders, and a Ranger Emblem. All accessories are Menacing. I have Spectre armor and Ghost Wings in the social slots because they look cool. Mainly use a Rapid Chain Gun with Chlorophyte Bullets. I've also got an Unreal Sniper Rifle. Legendary Death Sickle because it's fun and I look pretty awesome with it. Spectre Pickaxe and Hamaxe. Wisp in a Bottle. Essentially, I can solo any boss in less than 2 minutes if I'm careful about not getting hit, which isn't really that hard. Invasions are the hard ones.

The combat style of wind waker is actually really easy (tap A at the right time to win), but it's fun too. :P  The hardest part was helmaroc because I tried to do the glitch where you flipped over the spikes and skipped the boss battle but I got bored and just killed him.  To be honest Wind Waker isn't really that hard of a game I'm just trying to speed through the first playthrough to get back to where I was on the second one before my brother deleted my file.  (I swear it's like a disease with him.)

Pokemon Link: Battle is surprisingly fun! Then again, I don't have a modern phone - I have a Nokia brick - so I don't know if there's similar games like it out. XD

I'm kind of annoyed at the fact that because I'm using a 3DS XL, I'm impaired by the fact that it's a bigger screen. My younger brother can rack up combos of up to 200 on his 3DS and I struggle to get anything over 60... And no, I'm not retarded, I'm half-decent on that game. :P

It's alright, Maestro - I've got a Club Nintendo account. Thanks for the heads up, though! :)

Oh, yeah, WELL, Mario Kart 8 looks friggin' amazing and because I love the Mario Kart series, I must buy a Wii U. It's amazing, really... Pokemon and even the Mario & Luigi RPG series wouldn't make me buy a Wii U, so Mario's got a HUGE influence on me! XD

Spirit tracks might not be the best idea. There is a part at the end that demands absolute perfection. If you mess up you take damage and have to start over. The part that follows is fun, but that would be a real pain with only a few heart containers. Actually, A link between worlds seems more doable.

I found a neat mod for Mount&Blade: Warband that effectively makes it Game of Thrones: The Game (of Thrones). All the mechanics from M&B, all the locations (apart from the really faraway ones, such as Qarth, Ibben and the Summer Islands) from A Song of Ice and Fire. It feels incredibly satisfactory to send an army of roaring Northmen over the walls of Pyke, pincushion a Dothraki Khalasar to shreds with Reach Crossbowmen, or use a pot of Wildfire to turn a besieging enemy army into a besieging enemy bonfire. Plus, you can run Tywin Lannister through with a lance, should you so desire. It's incredibly well made, so if you have M&B: Warband and like the Game of Thrones TV series (or better, the books), check it out. Its name is A Clash of Kings and can be found here (http://www.moddb.com/mods/a-clash-of-kings). Beware of foul language, though.

For the less violently minded, I can report that the various modpacks available for Minecraft can provide weeks and weeks of fun. It also combines surprisingly well with watching web series or listening to podcasts, for instance when you mine.

It doesn't include the entire soundtrack, which was a bummer. It's like the 10 most played songs in the game, prioritizing the vocal ones.

Unless you're talking about how Dreamy Bowser is a pretty difficult boss, I don't get it. But if you are saying that I totally agree, he's tons of fun but also the second hardest fight in the series, especially in Hard Mode.

Did you just not keep up on grinding??? Okay I'll admit even at Lv45 the fight was fairly tough. But Dream Team itself can be a pretty difficult game. Probably why it's my favorite of the series.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on May 13, 2014, 08:30:09 AM
It's my least favorite of the series. It just seems to be drawn out way too much, and the giant battle feel way to scripted. And the story feels bland and simple when compared to superstar saga.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on May 13, 2014, 10:36:45 AM
I thought the writing was hilarious, the graphics amazing, the soundtrack the best on the 3DS, and the battle system infinitely better than the other games. Good enough for me.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on May 13, 2014, 11:33:53 AM
True I can see how the handholding and tutorials might get tiresome. For some reason though they  didn't really bother me? I enjoyed Dreambert's dialogue style enough to excuse the content, maybe. Maybe I'm getting too caught up in the presentation to really talk about the pacing and whatnot, and I do admit that it felt like the majority of the game was spent completing menial tasks, but I just enjoyed that the game was longer. Those giant boss battles were all pretty annoying though, besides the last one vs.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on May 13, 2014, 12:48:11 PM
It seemed really bad after superstar saga which has minimal tutorials and no companion to explain every new thing you come across. And the enemy designs were better in previous games. The worst part of Dream Team was climbing up Mt. Whatchyamacallit the second time in the dream world. That entire part could have been cut in half with no negative effect on the game.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on May 13, 2014, 05:53:04 PM
Okay dude have you played the others? The reason Dream Team is so long, as confirmed by Alpha-Dream, is because one of the most common comments about Bowser's Inside Story is "I wish it was longer." I loved every second of Dream Team and loved the fact that it was crazy long; I never quite got why people complained about the length. And even though there was just level after level, each one was designed so cleverly and perfectly.

Dream Team is the only game ever to make me want to play it three times in five months, and that's at about 45 hours per playthrough. I didn't appreciate it at first but it is undoubtedly the best of the series... I don't quite see an argument for Superstar Saga over this one, especially after my recent replay of the former on Wii U.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on May 13, 2014, 06:07:29 PM
I've played the entire series. Personally, I thought Inside Story was the perfect length. I think I would be less bothered by the length of Dream Team if there were more enemy designs that required differing styles of battle. And, as for the difficulty, I got very few game overs, with the exception of the final battle. Superstar Saga has the advantage of originality and story, but the combat is just not as complex as later titles. I'll have to say Inside Story was the best. And I like the 2d art style better. And as for replaying games, I just don't do it that often. Although I could play metroid fusion 100s of times. I just like playing new games.

Post by: fingerz on May 14, 2014, 04:17:57 PM
To me, I love all of the Mario & Luigi games equally. They've each got their highlights and flaws, and that's why I love them all!

@Slow: I agree completely. Sure, the storyline did seem a bit dragged-out by the time Somnom Woods came about and especially in Neo Bowser's Castle (Kamek, here we go for the THIRD bloody time), but overall it needed a longer storyline. Bowser's Inside Story was great, but far too short and way too easy. The way they set the game up, Mario and Luigi could leave Bowser's body and train the shit up 'til they were super-high levels. I did that 'cause I wanted to get everything the instant I left. Besides, what final boss has 1460 health? I was disgraced! :P It was a HUGE let-down after the epic finale of Partners in Time. To sum it up, Dream Team Bros. was extremely well-crafted! The transition from 2D to 3D was amazing! I thought they'd never make another one 'cause it wouldn't work, so I'm happy! ;)

@maelstrom: Yeah, I thought for a while that Bowser's Inside Story was my favourite one, too. It was only one out of the whole series that I shed a tear for, especially in those heart-felt moments. That's what I missed in Dream Team Bros. - those moments. There were heaps of hilarious moments that had me in stitches, but I think they need to incorporate more sentimental moments again, and kinda make the bad guys do bad things like in the previous games. They failed with Antasma and Bowser miserably in this one, I tell you. WHOA LOOK WHO JUST BLEW UP A COUPLE OF REMOTE ISLANDS! I actually said to myself when I was in Somnom Woods, "Ah, why am I chasing these guys down again? What have they done besides kidnap Peach?" :P

Anyways, I personally think the hand-holding is needed with this generation of gamers People just don't learn and explore like we used to. Classic example: I didn't know you could attack Queen Bean's hands in Superstar Saga, so I just kept hitting her chest with a hammer, doing 1 damage until she was K.O.'d... Good thing they helped us out now. Also, if they wanted to make it the most user-friendly game ever, they wouldn't have gotten you to grind to beat the final boss. Besides, Dreamy Bowser wasn't THAT bad. Seriously. Sure, I raised by eyebrows when I got hit the first time and said to myself, "Now this is a boss!" but I didn't even need to grind a single bit to defeat that guy. ;)

My conclusion to people who be dissin' Dream Team Bros.: don't. It's a fabulous game in its own way and it a wonderful addition to the Mario & Luigi series. Anyone who didn't finish it 'cause they got bored or something, just remember you're the casual audience. People like Slow and I will always finish those games. Sure, we're biased, but not to the point of not saying something wasn't bad when it was. So, if you didn't like it, too bad for you. :P
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on May 14, 2014, 06:06:09 PM
Me, a casual gamer?  :o I spent 92+ hours playing Bravely Default and probably 60+ hours in FE: Sacred Stones, which I just beat for the first time (but second playthrough). And I'm loving Chrono Trigger. Not to criticize more of your favorite games, but would I like Paper Mario 1000 year door if I didn't enjoy the original? I just didn't like the story, characters, or enemies in the N64 one. But I love the art style.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: fingerz on May 14, 2014, 06:59:58 PM
Oh no! I didn't mean you weren't a harcore gamer! I just meant you're probably not as dedicated as Slow and I are to the series. XD

Hahaha! I've only ever played Paper Mario Sticker Star. I'm not a Paper Mario fan at all, actually. I've played the N64 version and gave it up after getting to the desert. It was really awful, in my opinion... Loved the graphics, though! Never played Thousand-Year Door or Super Paper Mario, even though I own the latter. The Wii one looks like a heap of fun, though, so I might try it out soon.

Yah, I'm not one for RPG's. My love is as strong as my hate. Sure, I love Pokemon and the Mario & Luigi series, but that's about it. Don't even get me started on Square Enix. :P

In Mario & Luigi though, the more important skills have to do with reflexes, like dodging and counter-attacking, or timing/mashing properly for extra damage on your attacks. Most other JRPGs are more about numbers (or rather, just spamming the strongest attack/whatever the boss's weakness is).

Just finished Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on Nintendo DS (but it is also for iOS).

Simply put: you MUST play this game. I had never heard of it but it has a gripping story with clever puzzles, hilarious characters and writing, great music, and beautiful visuals. It's relatively short at about 12 hours max, but it throws plot twists at you the entire way and not a single moment is wasted.

It was developed by Shu Takumi and the rest of the team behind the Ace Attorney series, and the gist is that if you enjoyed Ace Attorney to any degree, you HAVE to play Ghost Trick. Even if you didn't, though, it's a game that really anyone can enjoy. Please look for it or download it to your phone or whatever it takes for you to play this brilliant game.

Awww, I loved WarioWare D.I.Y.! I thought it was SO much fun to play, especially since you could make comics, games, records and play lots of mini-games. I thoroughly enjoyed that game. In fact, I bought a copy for my dad just the other day. :D

Maybe others in the series suck. I haven't played any other ones as extensively. I've played WarioWare: Touched! a little and didn't really like it... WarioWare: Smooth Moves seems like fun, but I can't be bothered playing more of it. The newest one for Wii U looks good, but I'd never buy it. :P

Anyone else here finished Yoshi's New Island? Gosh, I thought it was a fabulous game! Personally, I've got nothing against a slightly easier Yoshi game. I was annihilated thousands of times in the first two... XD I really don't know why it was canned so much. Sure, the artwork changed, but I didn't care that much. After all, what were they going to do? They couldn't keep it the same! Like the Mario & Luigi series, staying in 2D wouldn't work as well. Then again, they don't HAVE to use the 3D. ^^

Oh yeah, I got 100% too! Some of those bloody special levels were pains to complete. I think 5-S Snow Go Mountain was the worst of them all... I spent about 3 hours in total attempting to get every damn collectible in that level. It was too hard to get them all at the one go, so I focused on one thing and then came back for another.

The most annoying time was when I got all the stars (which is friggin' hard, mind you) and just as I was going to go up the warp pipe, Yoshi didn't go up!! He bumped his head, fell down and hit a Bullet Bill. FUUUUUU- *ground-pounds to his doom*  >:( He did it again the next time, but thankfully I landed on the Bullet Bill and managed to climb up the damn thing. My thumb was so sore from all that flutter jumping after that level... XD

Most people seem to be saying that they don't like the art style, it's too easy and predictable (and boring, unlike kirby), and it just lacks the originality of the first entry. Again, I haven't played it, but I can't stand the art style and the medeocre reviews keep me from trying it. And, I have enough games as it is.  :P Too many humble bundles and classic JRPGs to catch up on.

Yeah, in comparison to Kirby: Triple Deluxe, it's nothing. I haven't really started playing it yet 'cause I want to beat Pokemon Link: Battle! first. If I take a day off playing that game, I get seriously rusty... At the moment, I'm able to get combos of around 150 without even trying, so I'm just gonna keep going with it at the moment. XD

WELL, I GOT MY WII U. IT'S PRETTY COOL, I'LL GIVE IT THAT. Hahaha! I really like it, actually, and so do my brothers! We've been working through a number of the games I purchased that were on sale! It was good, actually. I think I would've gotten bored if we'd only had one game to play... Unless it was Super Mario 3D World. Sweet Jesus... XD

Nintendo Land: Now this is a fun game! My brothers and I were checking out all the multiplayer games and nearly died of laughter whilst attempting the Mario Chase minigame! I lasted about 15 seconds the first time... Oh gosh, we were crying by the end of it. Same with the Luigi's Mansion one, too! I'd creep up behind 'em when they went to get a battery and scare the bejeesus outta them! :P And all the other minigames are heaps of fun too! The DK one is hilarious: "Whoooa, whoa, WHOAAAAAA!!! Aw, I died." XDDD

New Super Mario Bros. U: Yep, plenty of fun as usual. After conquering all the previous ones, we kinda get how these games work. Fun, nonetheless! The fact that I can place platforms whilst playing and help my my fellow explorers is nice, too!

New Super Luigi U: They still had a hard-copy of this in store, thankfully! OMG IT'S CHAOTIC!! Talk about shedding lives. Half the time I just went into a bubble and placed platforms to help my bros get the star coins along the way... Best moment to date was the first Boom-Boom Tower where I died in less than a second after starting the level... Immediately jumped into a fire rod above... XD

Super Mario 3D World: This is definitely the best Mario game I've ever played. This x3 when playing with my bros! Actually, Shea really loves this game and he hates pretty much anything Mario, so that's saying something! XD Yeah, just a superb game all-round. We're currently up to World 3 with 100% obtained from all the previous levels, so I think we're doing well! I suppose the only thing I don't like about this game is the lack of perception... It's better than the Galaxy series *shudder* but still not as spot-on as 3D Land. Plus, the controls confuse me. The Wii U gamepad's close to a handheld, which is good for me, but I still get confused. *long-jumps off an edge* XDDD

Mario Kart 8: Now THIS is a fabulous game! I really love all the new courses and the line-up of older courses is superb! The graphics make me drool the whole time... XD Does anyone else find the cups in this game to be insanely easy? I haven't even had to try to get triple-star rank on all the cups... It's a bit strange 'cause usually I find 150cc and Mirror pretty darn hard... Also, I kinda like the fact that you can't store another item after bringing out your first one. It stops people like me from getting in front and creating an almost unbreakable wall of defense behind me. :P Not that it matters. I'll never be playing online anyway. XD Also, kinda pissed at how the 'handling' of your vehicle is now based off handling AND grip... I can't seem to find a good combination that allows me to have the sharp handling of my kart in MK7 without sliding all over the place on all the off-road tracks... Any suggestions? I've been using The Duke (bike) and the Teddy-Bear Buddy with the Slim Wheels... I can't seem to get any better than 3/5 for Handling and Grip at the same time. Also, the Wii U gamepad's an arse because I sometimes drift in the exact opposite direction I pressed. Happened on the Wii, too.  >:(

...Sorry for all of that! I thought I'd share my new experiences with you all. Basically to sum it up, I love the Wii U but not as much as a handheld. I seem to have the same mentality for the games as well. If I'm playing with other people that are aiming for 100% such as my brothers, I'll do it! But if they're not playing, I don't care and probably won't even play the Wii U. I'd get bored not playing it with someone, actually. But, a huge congrats to Nintendo! You finally got me to buy your latest contraption and I do like it! Not as much as a 3DS, but it will suffice. :P

I wouldn't bother buying any nextgen yet unless there's some sort of supersale since there aren't enough games on any of them to justify a purchase.

Of course, E3 **should** give you some better idea, but we'll see...

My last save was still there, I don't remember when that was played. I had a team that was trying to be the same than my very first team in 1999. That was pretty much 50lv Kadabra and 5 useless 30lv somethings. I couldn't beat the Elite Four with that but my brother could. I probably couldn't get past even Lorelei lol.

- L4D2
- MK9 Story Mode
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: K-NiGhT on June 19, 2014, 01:16:04 AM
Definitely Borderlands. I love that game. After you finish that, go on to the second one. It's even better.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: FierceDeity on June 19, 2014, 03:00:05 AM
I can't speak for borderlands or MK9, but that seems like a pretty good list. The first couple assassin's creed games were really good; you know, back when they were still remotely stealth-based. I'd recommend eventually playing at least the first two. L4D2 is mostly good for the multiplayer, tbh. It's got a fun single player, sure, but for me it's just one of those games made more fun by the people I play with, because freaking out and zombies and shit.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on June 21, 2014, 08:37:19 AM
Ass Creed 1 was a bit eh, AC2 was substantially more polished, so if you feel like it's getting too repetitive or dull in AC1 I would recommend watching the rest of the cutscenes or a LP on youtube then continuing on to AC2, it's a far better game (and only gets better from there)

I actually never finished AC1 because I lost my 75ish% story save on PC and didn't want to replay... :B

L4D2 you should be playing if you have friends to play it with, it really gets fun in MP like FD said :P

I personally don't like Borderlands so I won't say anything about that!

Hotel Dusk was neato, but not as good as Ace Attorney. Still, it was a nice change of pace to have a semi-realistic story I guess.

Halfway through Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, in a continued effort to play the series in chronological order. God I love Miracle Mask. I might have to agree with Blueflower and call it the best in the series.

Also restarted Pokémon X because I got a weird urge to play it again; idk how far I'll get but it's pretty fun so far. I'm going to use only Kalos Pokémon this time (which I'm including Mega Venusaur in haha).

Finally, I had some extra cash on hand and on an impulse last week I picked up Kirby Triple Deluxe. Finally got to playing it a couple days ago. I'm on world 2 and gosh this game is fun. I've never been a big fan of Kirby games but when they look this good and the level design is so consistently fantastic and fun, I just can't help but be sucked in (see what I did there?). (Side note: the music is almost PAINFULLY catchy. Seriously.)

Ah, well Amiibo is the name of a brand of physical figurines that you can buy and use with the Wii U Gamepad to add features to the game. DLC is accessed from the internet or in Nintendo's case the eShop.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on July 10, 2014, 08:02:55 AM
And, DLC is different from microtransactions. DLC gives you completely new content, like additional maps in Fire Emblem Awakening, or new missions in Pikmin 3. Or it could be a large-scale thing like New Super Luigi U. Microtransactions are cheap, .50-3.00 things that are just simple in-game items that let you get new skins or auto-level-beating items, like in most mobile games. 
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: blueflower999 on July 10, 2014, 08:04:31 AM
6$ was very much worth it for that extra case. Anyone playing Dual Destinies should consider buying it because even with the extra price it's still a few dollars less than your average retail 3DS game.

Well, I bought Kid Icarus: Uprising the other day because it was so cheap AND brand-new! I really like it, actually! I thought I'd die with the controls because I'm left-handed, but after having to play that EV Training minigame with my right hand in Pokemon X, I didn't have a problem. :D

Gosh, it's a fabulous game! I love the humour and the graphics especially. The weapon upgrades and fusing stuff is a bit too complex for me to get my head around (I've never played anything with a greater complexity than a Mario game), but I'll get there. It kinda reminds be of the Super Smash Bros series with the way it's laid out, but I kinda guess that's because Sakurai was the director of this game. :P

Hani, I know you'll be proud of me! ^^

Once you get a ton of weapons, fusing them is really rewarding for online stuff and higher intensity levels. (Balancing becomes an issue when you start working in traits (freaking Magnus Club)). Until you beat the game, don't worry about fusing anything. Just find the weapon you're most comfortable with.

Quote from: fingerz on July 24, 2014, 07:52:01 PMWell, I bought Kid Icarus: Uprising the other day because it was so cheap AND brand-new! I really like it, actually! I thought I'd die with the controls because I'm left-handed, but after having to play that EV Training minigame with my right hand in Pokemon X, I didn't have a problem. :D

Gosh, it's a fabulous game! I love the humour and the graphics especially. The weapon upgrades and fusing stuff is a bit too complex for me to get my head around (I've never played anything with a greater complexity than a Mario game), but I'll get there. It kinda reminds be of the Super Smash Bros series with the way it's laid out, but I kinda guess that's because Sakurai was the director of this game. :P

Hani, I know you'll be proud of me! ^^




Bloody proud! (y)

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

From Chrono Trigger and the majority of the JRPGs I play, mostly because 75% of menu options, battle options, and dialogue choices are represended with pictures along with the words, as if aiming for a younger audience that probably would quit at the first few walls of text anyway.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 27, 2014, 06:21:04 PM
I think you mean that it's simpler compared to those other series, as Golden Sun isn't simplified from anything in particular.

Nitpicky but eh

Also I've been playing Crimson Shroud, it's very neat.

I beat Level-5's game The Starship Damrey tonight in one sitting--took me about 3 hours all told, including the bonus content.

It was a really weird game and it was unique to have such a horror-themed game on the 3DS. The story was really unique though; I enjoyed it despite its brief length. It was like curling up with a good (creepy) book. I've had that game for over six months now. Glad I finally got around to playing it.

I almost bought this game once, but the price was rather steep, considering the lack of info about the gameplay on the eShop about it at the time. Did you think it was worth the $8 or so?
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 05, 2014, 11:16:15 AM
Ehhhh I got it on sale for $5 and I think that's a better price. It's neat while it lasts but it's only about 3 hours so $8 is a little too pricey for the experience it delivers. I'd recommend another Guild title for that price, either Attack of the Friday Monsters or Crimson Shroud (both of which are significantly better than The Starship Damrey anyway).

Xenoblade Chronicles -- Haven't played yet, but heard incredible things about it.
Metroid Prime Trilogy -- Highly, highly recommended.
Chrono Trigger -- Wii VC -- Best SNES RPG ever. It's actually more action oriented than most classic rpgs
Super Metroid -- Wii U VC -- Simply incredible, but difficult for a beginner in platform shooters.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Sebastian on August 11, 2014, 08:53:35 AM
Hmmm...ok :)
I like strategy and adventure games also.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on August 11, 2014, 08:56:49 AM
Then definitely Metroid Prime Trilogy. It's still $40, but it has 3 games in one, with boosted graphics and the quite good controls from prime 3. There is just a sense of exploration in the first two (but especially the first) that it's up to you without anyone else to tell you what to do, but the game will gently remind you from time to time if you get lost.

edit: for strategy, I'd recommend Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, but the price has gone back up to $90+, it's a direct sequel to the previous entry, it's brutally difficult, and it's not beginner friendly. If you have a 3DS, pick up FE: Awakening. It's the most beginner friendly entry in the series.

Wii U.... I've heard The Wonderful 101 is great, but I haven't played it so I'm not sure. Wind Waker HD is good if you like Zelda. EarthBound is on virtual console.

There are a few good games for Wii, not that you should get anything non-Nintendo. The Ace attorney trilogy is on the Wii shop, and those are my favorite games of anything so if you're interested, try out "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney." It's an adventure game and I see you like those. There are also the Mario Galaxy games and I've heard Twilight Princess is good.

It's better on the handheld, I would think. I've never played the Wii version but it just seems like a game better suited to portable playing. Plus the 3DS version is going to have HD scans of the characters rather than sprites so it'll probably look better as well. That's my guess anyway.

If you're willing to try Ace Attorney, I might just give Bravely Default a shot. When it's on sale for $30 or less that is.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star is the first Paper Mario game to not start at Mario's House, nor feature this place at all.

Unlike the first two Paper Mario games which have a turn-based battle system, Sticker Star does not have Flower Points, Star Points, Experience Points, Badges, or Items. Mario also has no partners to battle by his side (with the exception of Kersti at some points).

This is the only game in the Paper Mario series where Lady Bow does not make an appearance in any form.

Mario does not level up from battling as in previous Paper Mario games.

All the bosses in Sticker Star are not unique to the Paper Mario series, as they are all more powerful versions of preexisting enemies or bosses featured in other Mario games. Similarly, the game does not feature any new enemies, only enemies from other Mario games and new variants thereof.

Kamek takes on the role filled by Kammy Koopa in the first two Paper Mario games.
This is the first Paper Mario game where Bowser and Luigi have no lines of dialogue.

The world map is now used to get to other locations, unlike the other installments. Also, the map does not have a description of each location.

Unlike Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, the game does not feature an Audience.

While Mario does possess a hammer given to him by a Toad, he cannot use it in-battle without consuming a hammer sticker, but only as a way to get a First Strike, unlike the first two installments.
Mario also doesn't get the Super Hammer or the Ultra Hammer later in the game, due to the various Hammer stickers.

This is the first Paper Mario game that is not split into separate chapters, instead opting to use worlds, like Super Mario RPG. If it were, there would only be 6 chapters, whereas the first three installments all possessed 8 chapters.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star only has 55 enemies and 18 bosses, for a total of 73 different enemies; each of the first three installments had over 100 enemies.

Unlike the first three installments, Paper Mario: Sticker Star has two counterparts to Jr. Troopa, Lord Crump, and O'Chunks, instead of one, since Bowser Jr. and Kamek are fought three times each (not including four Wiggler Segments who are each fought once).

Unlike Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, Mario does not have any voice clips recorded by Charles Martinet in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star doesn't have a superboss (a boss that can be fought after the final main boss, and generally has higher stats).

This is the first Paper Mario game not to include enemy Tattles, recipes, Clubbas, Koopatrols, Crazy Dayzees, Amazy Dayzees, Gloombas, Frost Piranhas, Putrid Piranhas, Clefts, the Merlon clan, or Whacka. This is because Shigeru Miyamoto did not want characters exclusive to the Paper Mario series in the game, besides Kersti.

On a related note, it is also the first game where enemy Koopas do not possess eyewear of any sort.

Due to the lack of a Tattle ability, several aspects of it have been incorporated into regular battle. For example, an HP bar showing the collective health of all enemies on screen displays during battle. The enemies' names are also all displayed while Mario is choosing stickers, similar to the Mario & Luigi series.

This is the first in the series to have only one playable character. Moreover, it's the only one to not feature Peach as a playable character. Peach's role in this game is also significantly less vital than the first three.

It is the first Paper Mario where Mario can't turn into an 8-bit version of himself.

Ninjis in Paper Mario: Sticker Star are now actual enemies. In their previous appearance in Paper Mario, they were friendly NPCs who acted as caretakers for the Star Kids.

Other than Wiggler, Toads are the only friendly NPCs in Sticker Star; there are no friendly Goombas, Koopas, Bob-ombs, or other enemies. However, a Koopa does volunteer for Mario to use for the shell attack stickers, as does a Bob-omb for the bomb attack sticker.

Mario can't choose which enemy to attack if there are multiple ones; he defaults to the one in front.

Unlike the first 3 installments, Mario starts his journey with 20 HP.

When Mario's current HP is at most 30% of its total, the in-battle music (except for the final battle with Bowser) changes to a "tired" remix of itself, replacing the alarm sound heard in the other Paper Mario games while being in critical health conditions.

Unlike the first 3 installments, Paper Mario: Sticker Star only has 3 save files instead of 4.

The game does not feature an opening story before the title screen as the other Paper Mario games; the opening story is instead shown when starting a new game.

This is the first Paper Mario installment since the original N64 installment to lack an endless play feature.

This is the only installment to not feature the main antagonist on the box art.

All the element they took out was what made a Paper Mario Game a Paper Mario Game

Seriously what the hell haha. Like, I know none of us are professional critics or anything, but imagine reading a film review by somebody who never watched the film. Most respectable critics watch a film twice at a minimum. Maybe we don't expect that much from game reviews, but we still go in assuming that the reviewer has some level of expertise or above average knowledge concerning the game, of which you clearly have neither if you haven't played it... Especially considering your entire review was essentially "This game isn't exactly like TTYD!", a reservation which might have been resolved by playing the game, and realizing "Oh wait this wasn't SUPPOSED to be a cookie cutter sequel."

This is a little offensive. I dont JUST like TTYD. I like all 3. And the 4th isn't like any of them.

I mean it's pretty difficult the whole way through by today's standards. Once you've played it one time it's not as hard though. Like the first couple dungeons used to be difficult for me but since I've beaten them a few times I can do them pretty easily. It's all about figuring out how to use your environment.

For as long as I remember, the three heart challenge has only been that you don't collect any heart pieces or heart containers. Fairies has nothing to with that.

EDIT:
Quote from: ZeldaWikiThe Three Heart Challenge is an optional challenge where a game in the Zelda series is completed without obtaining a or forming a Heart Container, keeping only the three starting Heart Containers throughout the game.

Fairies are allowed. Not using them is an optional additional challenge:
Quote from: ZeldaWikiThe Three Heart Challenge can be further expanded into a Low% Three Heart Challenge, where optional items must be avoided, including upgrades, and collecting Potions, Fairies, and any other healt recovering items.

As far as I know, the world record is like 18:10. Basically, you get a deku stick or two, glitch your way to Kakariko Village to get a bottle, get some bugs, go back to kill Gohma, and then use the bottle and bugs to rewrite some data go make the boss fight exit actually take you to the point where Ganandorf dies. From there it's just killing Ganon with a deku stick. It's not so hard except for every precise button press and angle you have to get.

The graphics aren't that great, but the music is, the voice acting is entirely british and reasonably good. The battle system makes you never feel safe during a boss battle. And it's long. Beyond long.

Anyone have good non-microtransaction-infested mobile games? I'm need a phone and I'm not sure which to get. I know about Phoenix Wright and Infinity Blade only existing on iOS, but are there enough android-only games to make it worthwhile? And, how good are the emulators for both?
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on August 28, 2014, 03:09:45 PM
90% of mobile games are hypercasual, there are some that are supposedly good but I've never been too excited about any of the 'good' mobile games (at least on Android) that I've tried.

You can just download emulators ezpz on Android, but on iOS you have to jailbreak the device.

I've heard that at least tablet-wise, you would want to get an iPad if you were serious about mobile games, but I don't really take them seriously so I don't bother to really research it.

the only game i play on my phone now is candy crush

Not looking for highscore games or repetitive level based games or physics games. Basicly console games on iOS. Not like I'll find them. So far, Pheonix Wright ports and emulators are my best bet.

Even if you got an iphone, I would say wait a few months for the new one.  Most all general apps are the exact same for both devices, there might just be a few exclusive games that you may find.

You just have to decide which interface you like most and whether you want to pay the Apple tax.

I mean do what you want, but I'd recommend waiting for the 3DS ports of Phoenix Wright. I've played through the iOS one and it's definitely passable but it's also the worst version of the game. Not to mention they're proofreading the script and updating the graphics for the 3DS one ;o

That's kind of a tough one? You'll love this game no matter what, and there aren't exactly SPOILERS for previous games, but you might miss a couple references here and there. If you want to play it now since it's cheaper, that's totally fine; all that really matters as far as series chronology is that you play 1-3 in order.

The one problem is the rating. (Parents) So, is it that much worse than the others?
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: blueflower999 on August 31, 2014, 03:42:08 PM
The M rating is pretty light honestly and if they gave it a T I don't think any parents could complain. Essentially there are one or two cutscenes with a more gore and disturbing imagery than usual and that's about it. It's not anything that should stop you from checking out the game.  :)
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on August 31, 2014, 03:43:32 PM
"Gore" makes it sound like there's anything other than a little blood. In truth there's just a bit of blood shown and no language whatsoever.

I really can't figure out the ESRB on this one; it's basically the same as the T games.

Starting the school year and already getting addicted to Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Such a good game, way better than Dual Destinies so far.

I'm also playing a game called Azure Striker Gunvolt (dat Engrish). It's made by one of the original designers of Mega Man, and the game's pretty similar to that series (MegaMan Zero in particular). Pretty good if you're looking for an action game, and while it's relatively easy to beat normally, it still offers a challenge if you're looking for good Ranking and scores.

But yeah dude you're in a for a heck of a time. Let us all know how you like it! You'll know pretty fast whether you like the game or not; it's basically a lot of reading. Still, you have a lot of great, quirky situations at hand with any game in that series, so as long as you let yourself get sucked into the story, you'll really enjoy it.

The game's quite lengthy, so no worries. Even if you're one of those that uses B to rush through the text (which I don't recommend, it messes up a lot of the comic timing and overall feel of the dialogue), it'll still run you about 25-30 hours without the extra case.

If you enjoyed the game I HIGHLY recommend buying the DLC case, it's really excellent and actually my favorite case of the game.

After that if you want more Ace Attorney you'll have to wait for the trilogy release, or buy the DS cards.

FYI it's been $20 on Amazon since June, so no need to rush.

Post by: Zunawe on September 24, 2014, 02:32:21 PM
If you guys like Hyrule Warriors, I would guess that you'd like Darksiders too. The characters aren't familiar in the same way, but it's got a similar overpowered combat feel. It has a pretty cool world too as well as a linear story. It's just a little violent.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on September 24, 2014, 06:41:05 PM
I would say Darksiders overall is more similar to a standard 3D Zelda game in that it's more about exploring with various dungeon-like levels and getting/using new items or abilities, but it does have similar combat with the various combos and the like.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Zunawe on September 24, 2014, 09:38:35 PM
^Kinda what I was trying to get at.

There's a world and a story with dungeons and puzzles that play jingles when you solve them, but combat is more about a continuous string of attacks on smaller enemies while dodging bigger ones than the more tactical stuff in Zelda. You tend to be in danger much less than other games.

And they had two used copies of Xenoblade Chronicles just sitting on the shelf like nobody's business?? So I bought one and it's brand new and the disc has no scratches and the Club Nintendo code is unused and I feel pretty lucky???
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on October 03, 2014, 07:14:23 PM
I'm so glad you finally got it! Basicly, Gamestop had an unannounced second run of the game without the foil wrapping  so they could sell it for market price ($90.00 then) instead of $50. Each gamestop got about 5 copies, and once they're gone, they're gone.

In regard to Xenoblade, I'm really digging the reversible cover. 8) It's really pretty. EarthBound is 10 times more important though, so I have to finish that before I think about starting Xenoblade.

Also I have a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy, my brother got it when it first released. I've never really thought about playing it, though; doesn't really seem like my thing.

ORAS if you already have smash for 3ds. Well ORAS anyways really.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: FierceDeity on November 15, 2014, 02:23:08 PM
Idk, I think it depends how much you want to play with friends. My instinctual answer is "get both", but I honestly can't wait to relive the feeling of having massive smash-fests. Really, both games are literally remakes of their predecessors (in GLORIOUS HIGHER-DEF) with a few changed/added elements. Not to downplay either, as these things are still considerably different, but it really depends on the differences you care most about. ORAS is obviously a more drastic shift from gen 3 than will be the wii u smash from 3ds smash, but to be honest the hardware possibility of "not requiring multiple copies of the game in order to play with friends on a comparatively tiny screen" is more significant to me.

GCN and Wii games run superior to the actual consoles on Dolphin Emu for the most part :P

But yes, exclusivity is slowly dying which is wonderful for those that don't mind spending the time/money/effort in keeping a gaming PC up to date and running :D

imo unless there's some really key game like Zelda or MGS (when that was still exclusive) my thought is to not really worry about buying a console until it's cheaper and there's a sizable library of games I can really only plan on it.  I have plenty on my PC already, and doing that for my PS3 has been quite nice as I just hop from one top tier game to the next since its library is basically complete if you disregard all the cross-gen releases and outliers.

Just for the love of god don't download candy crush

The score is awful (even for a mobile game), the idea of a seemingly endless game with a super steep "pay to win" curve is pretty despicable, and King is just an all around awful company, especially when it comes to "protecting their IP". There are a lot of popular mobile games that I actually enjoy/respect (Rovio is a pretty good company), but candy crush is far from one of them.

Oh, and (shameless family plug) my brother/the company he's working with kinda recently finished developing their game "Boogey Boy". It's a 3D sidescrolling runner that I've personally had a lot of fun with, and they have a free demo version on google play if you don't want to spend the $2/if you want to try it out first.

Just finished essentially every ending (except for the one that essentially requires you to cheat) in The Stanley Parable yesterday, at Blue's recommendation, and
it was soooo goooooooood

Like, it was so ridiculously worth the money I spent on it (I wanna say $4.50 on sale).

And now I get to play through the entire Valve Complete Pack, as well as FTL. On Half Life right now, and it's crazy how well it applies the First-Person concepts that it pioneered in the first place.

True, it looks absolutely AMAZING and runs smoother than a baby's bottom, but it's not that different from the 3DS version in terms of core mechanics. I'm gonna enjoy it, but probably not as much as the 3DS one. I've always found things on a portable console much more lovable than the TV. ^^

Playing a mix of Alpha Sapphire and A Link Between Worlds, because pokemon's starting to get worse even though I'm hoping it'll change by the time I hit Mauville, but A Link Between Worlds is as challenging as ALTTP and so I just can't stop playing it D: like this game is almost as good as wind waker and probably is the best handheld game I've ever played

I've been playing the shit out of Shovel Knight and I can safely say that it's the best game I've played in a long time. Yacht Club totally nailed the retro feel, and the inspirations from older games like Mario 3 and Megaman are definitely a plus.

I keep hearing about that game. What genre is it? Like what would you compare it to? And should I get it for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U?

Well, it's a 2D platformer in an "8-Bit Style" (It's obviously not actually 8-bit). It's got a lot of elements from games from the NES era; the world map is exactly like Mario 3, and most if not all of the stages are reminiscient of either Mario or Mega Man. It's also got a killer soundtrack, which you unlock in the sound test by going in and finding sheet music in each level which I thought was cool. There are a lot of things to unlock and the upgrades are interesting but don't make the game ridiculously easy. It's definitely got the difficulty of a NES platformer, too. I definitely reccomend it.

As for the version, I got the 3DS version because I still don't have internet for my Wii U. (also i was home at the time while the wii u was at my dorm) I wasn't planning on using the 3D function as usual, but when I turned it on to see what it was like I was actually pleasantly surprised. For a 2D game, it pulls of stereoscopic 3D quite well, which seems impossible lol.

Anyway, yeah go get it now it's only like 15 bucks and totally worth it.

ALBW is actually one of my top 5 favorite Zelda games, handheld or not. If you haven't beaten that yet, do it before getting more into ORAS, not because I think ORAS is less worth your time, but because ALBW is a lot quicker, and its postgame (i.e. hero mode) is something you're going to want to come back to later, as opposed to pokemon postgame which I've always found most alluring directly after beating the game.

Related, I didn't discover streetpass until smash 3ds, so coming back to ALBW and fighting other people's shadow links was really fun. (It'd be even better if the person was notified when I beat them just using my superpowered lantern and/or net)

Omg I timed myself with the activity log. I finished the first game today and while the entire game took me about 23.5 hours, the final case alone (Rise from the Ashes) took me 10 full hours. Well, 9:59, but yeah. It's easily the longest case in the series. But it's also easily the best from the first game and it's got some really awesome moments.

Also idk if you're doing this but I REALLY recommend letting the text play at normal speed rather than speeding it up or skipping to the end of the line, even though for some reason this version of the game lets you do that from the beginning. You miss a lot of great script mechanics and timing by tapping through the text so fast.

Also, the Valve Complete Pack is 75% off again, which includes both portal games, as well as everything from the Half Life series, Left 4 Dead series, Counterstrike series, and a bunch of other stuff. Maybe not so appropriate for you, slow, seeing as those are all essentially first person shooters, but even then, Half Life is such an altogether great game (also story-based, not multiplayer-based) that I think you'd still enjoy it. I'd also recommend it for the purpose of understanding the hype for HL3. I've only just finished the first game and the two Gearbox semi-sequels (idk what to call blue shift or opposing force) so far, but I can already assure you, the hype is real.

This pack is 24 games for $25.

Post by: FierceDeity on December 21, 2014, 11:55:19 PM
Really? I thought it aged pretty well. And I'm not even that into FPS games. It had standard controls, a reasonable learning curve (plus lower difficulties if you want), and neat mechanics. And it's such a nice, nondisruptive method of storytelling. Plus, if graphics are a concern, it's always an improvement to play the Source version. Even then, rofl one of my suitemates walked in while I was playing the non-source version and was like "These are pretty good graphics!" (not even sarcastically; he's super unfamiliar with gaming aside from some older Nintendo stuff), and I'm like lmao this was made in 1998
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on December 22, 2014, 02:28:23 AM
I always thought that compared to newer games it had a much higher level of difficulty, plus a lot of unfriendly mechanics and a few slightly less intuitive level designs.  Of course, that is part of the appeal to some people :P

I actually never finished the Gearbox spinoffs though.  Couldn't push myself to play through them :x
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: FierceDeity on December 22, 2014, 03:08:02 AM
I think as far as friendliness of mechanics goes, the combat was pretty intuitive (semi-auto aiming helped quite a bit), and you could always play on lower difficulties on that front. There are definitely a few puzzling/pathfinding aspects that weren't so intuitive, but this was kinda minimal in the original, in my experience. It was a lot worse in the gearbox spinoffs, I'll admit (blue shift isn't really worth playing imo, it's so short, adds nothing to the plot, adds no combat mechanics, and is basically just a game about pushing boxes with a little bit of combat here and there). Opposing force had some interesting new weapon mechanics, though. The only mechanic I found to be really annoying in all three was the way that ladders work. I was so bad at getting on from the top that I'd sometimes even save before doing so just in case I accidentally fell. Maybe crouch jumping seemed a little more intuitive to me just because I play so much TF2, but even that was explained in training mode if you needed it, and it was only ever necessary in OF.

But yeah, I felt that the combat especially was pretty solid; there haven't been too many leaps in basic FPS weapon mechanics since, imo. It essentially defined the genre

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

True. The first game goes on for so long that you get used to the courtroom themes as being there forever. You'll be used to this game's by the end haha, right in time for them to switch up again for the third.

Worth noting that episode 4 of Justice For All is my favorite case of the series, so hope you enjoy it haha.

In defense (no pun intended) of Justice For All's music, the cross examination theme is my favorite of the entire series, the Objection music is much better than the first game's from a musical standpoint, and the Trial theme is awesome. My favorite thing is how the music sounds a lot darker/scarier than the first.

4-4 is a brilliant bit of narrative. It's kind of a masterclass in game writing. It just gets overshadowed because it doesn't have as much drama or high stakes antics as, say, 2-4 or 1-5.

I borrowed Ruto's Pokemon White since I've never played it and am occasionally playing through that game on bus and such.  Lots of the music is kinda bad and I've never liked most of the designs of the pokemon but there are at least some good tracks (well so far the only ones that are amusing to me is the plasma fight theme and little transfer room with the news ticker thing theme, the first three towns and N are all so dull)

I find it amusing that it's thus far the polar opposite from X in difficulty.  You can fight every trainer and still be severely under-leveled, at least just past the 2nd gym.  I forgot how boring grinding wild pokemon could be :|

IDK most of it really grew on me, though admittedly most of the music I love is from later in the game. If you ever get to the end, make sure you have your music up when you fight Ghetsis. That's one of my personal favorite tracks from any Pokémon game just because of how unconventional it is.

I considered Gen V to be the high point of Pokemon music (HGSS is close though), but I might be part of a minority there.

As far as difficulty goes though, I just remember the level gap being ridiculous once post-game hits. For the early-mid game you could abuse Audinos for easy EXP if you wanted.

Gen 4 had pretty good music. That's when they really started using jazz a lot, which is awesome.

Of course, the differences between generations is all relative. Like saying someone is better for getting 9.5/10 than the person who got 9.4/10.

I believe this is what most people would agree with, myself included. Although I'd argue that Justice For All and the original would be much closer if they didn't add that fifth case to the original.

I'd agree with that, especially after replaying Justice For All (well I'm almost done with it). "Farewell, My Turnabout" is such a great case though that it sort of pulls up my opinion of the whole game.

I don't think AA would be the worst game if it wasn't for Rise of the Ashes, although that case was definitely one of the best in the entire series.

Precisely my thoughts on it.  Also dear god the swimming is terrible.  I did really like all the whole pre-Hyrule lore though, it made exploring specific areas almost make up for the sad excuse of an overworld.

I don't really mind linear games (I absolutely love FFX), but I can see why people didn't enjoy the overworld. Honestly, it was kinda dumb to revisit the same places over and over again. That's probably why they're making a huge overworld in the next Zelda installment.
I don't see why people complain about the controls though. Could be just me, but I never had any problems with the motion controls whatsoever when I played the game. I enjoyed the motion controls in TP and in SS, but I guess having the option to play with the Controller Pro would've been nice.

While you went from the dungeons in linear order (which I guess is why everyone likes ALBW so much) the dungeons themselves weren't linear and actually contained quite a bit of backtracking.  At the very least walking away from SS I felt accomplished getting through the fun dungeons (ancient cistern was the BOMB, not to mention the best boss).  Pretty reminiscent of the Earth Temple from WW though, that was a really good dungeon.  Not to mention all the goodies to get up in the sky.  Don't really know how you can call it linear when you factor in stuff like the gratitude crystals and the goddess chests and all the islands in the sky!  In my opinion it had just enough to keep you going through the game but when you got bored/stuck you could go play minigames (there were a ton) or hunt for goddess cubes (there were a ton) or fly through the sky looking for goddess chests/regular chests (there were a ton) or medals (there were a ton).  Plus there are so many memorable characters to chat with throughout the game- Groose, Fledge, Beedle, Batreaux?
Oh yeah and Ghirahim is the greatest villain of all time

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Roz~ on January 18, 2015, 12:46:27 PM
I don't think you understand. I love SS. Ancient Cistern is, hands down, my favorite dungeon ever. If you read the other thread where everyone posted their Zelda top 5/top 10, you'd see that SS is my favorite Zelda game ever.
That being said, the game is linear. Yeah, you can hunt those godess cubes/treasure chests all you want. Doesn't change the fact that, at the end of the day, you have to go from point A to point B to continue the story. FFX, one of the game that was shat on the most because it was too linear, offered plenty of side-quests and minigames. But we're not talking about those. We're talking about the main story and the places you need to visit in order to complete said story.
If you can't see why people would be upset about only having 3 main overworld places to visit, I can't really help you. I personally didn't mind it, but I can see why people would hate it.
Linearity =/= Bad. But I could see why people wouldn't like SS as much because of that.

I think my problem was that I never found anything besides the desert area to be interesting.  We get the same dull forest area that every Zelda game ever has had and Death Mountain redux.  The desert area with the robots and weird time warpy stuff was totally new and was a really interesting idea that they managed to fit really well with the rest of the game.

The fact that there wasn't any big hyrule field to explore just amplified the negative feelings I had towards the few areas we had to explore I suppose :P

Agreed. I actually really missed having a big open area to explore and I missed riding Epona :( lol.

My issues with the game are
1. The wii remote didn't always pick up which direction I was going or the direction I was swinging the sword.. I have died at least 4 times in the game just for that reason. I did like that you had to swing it a certain way to kill certain enemies, that made it more interesting and fun rather than just mashing B the whole time, but I wish they had done a better job making the wii remote easier to handle in that regard.
2. Having to go back into the temples and going back to the same areas you've been was kind of annoying and somewhat unnecessary. I wish they had just created more new areas to explore.
3. The music was not great and very unmemorable. This was probably my biggest disappointment in the game. If you asked me to hum the music that plays while you're flying, or in the forest, or in a shop, I couldn't do it. Maybe I just haven't played it enough, but it seems very unremarkable compared to the last few games.

That being said, I did like the story (it was very different from previous Zelda games), the new characters, the different collectibles, and new "races", not just Gorons and Zoras anymore.

Still, it's a good game, I'm just not sure that I'll pick it up again once I beat it.

I actually don't mind linear games. Dark Cloud 2, my all-time favorite game, is fairly linear and nearly no open-world exploration. But with a Zelda game, it's ALL about exploring for me. TP(for the Gamecube) and WW are two of my favorites solely because of how great their open-world areas are(and the music that accompanies them). So when a Zelda game is super lacking on the exploration front, it definitely disappoints me.

Post by: KefkaticFanatic on January 18, 2015, 04:49:09 PM
That would mean they failed at creating an open world game, as the strengths in a good one is that they have a vast amount of fleshed out side content and areas to explore and complete, rather than just the main quest that you run from a to b to c to finish.  I always felt that TP was unfinished in that it had a vast overworld but a huge lacking in sidequests.  I still like the atmosphere, regions, and dungeons of the game enough to prefer it over SS though.

I just shot a dude with tranq darts until he died of old age.

I then shot a goat in the face and it somehow cloned its food supply.

Metal Gear Solid 3 for best game I've played this year so far.

Quake is a dated, but revolutionary shooter that the likes of Half-Life and Halo came from. And I've heard Quake 2 has a great engine.....

I finished MGS3. Fantastic game, and it's easily in my hypothetical top 10. It's for 3DS as well as PS2/3, so nobody has any excuse not to get it.

(Also, you shouldn't worry that it's the third game in the series, it's the first place cronologically, so the plot should make sense.)
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on January 28, 2015, 02:50:51 AM
Ehm actually you'll be missing out on a substantial amount if you don't play through the first and second.  I would never recommend that somebody not play the games in release order, besides skipping Portable Ops.

The game is excellent on its own yes, but you really should play through the entire series.  There are many references and tie-ins to significant plot points from the previous two games.  The first had a GCN port I believe for people afraid of playing anything besides Nintendo, but you'll have to go with the PC port of MGS2 if you don't have anything besides Nintendo consoles/handhelds.

I like it, it's relatively easy, but charming and cute as all hell, and the difficulty/replay value comes from all the level challenges(find the hidden gold mushroom, collect X amount of coins, do[n't] kill enemies).

But you should definitely get it, totally worth the $40 price tag.

sorry man :D  Just that to me it's a super watered down version of MTG, and my friends tell me that in order to have a good deck you need to buy the cards online pretty much.  Something something druids, too.  I've never bought cards, but I only played a decent number of matches before uninstalling, so...
I guess if you're not as into MTG as someone like me then it's a fine card game.  MTG just has WAAAAY more depth to it.

Anyone who has a Wii U and has not bought Metroid Prime Trilogy needs to do so right now.

I also bought Donkey Kong Country Returns from the 10€ sale, been playing that as well. Have to say, the new DKC games are probably my favorite platformers right now.

As for Hearthstone, I play it every once in a while. Mostly when I'm visiting home or during the breaks between classes. I don't really mind the possible lack of depth, in fact I probably prefer it. It's a casual card game and there's nothing wrong with being that.

So, is there any actual thing to Xenoblade other than "IT LOOKS AMAZING HOLY FUCK"? Like, I'm not going to buy it anyway (no compatable systems) but I'm interested.


*btw all you bitches who say xenoblade is the best should totally play persona 4 if you can. it's amazing and qualifies for my favourite game of all time

I want to play Persona 4 Golden, but I don't have a Vita (yet).
As for Xenoblade, it just has this unique feel. It has an entirely realized world with an incredible sense of scale. And, while the game is linear, you get massive areas to freely explore, and the voice acting and story are pretty good. And the enemy design is excellent.

Persona 4 Golden is one of the best games I've ever played and definitely my favorite JRPG I've played. It's also rated M though and there's some very iffy stuff (one of the bosses is literally a rainbow colored goo woman on a stripper pole with disturbing animations) so I doubt your mom would approve haha.

Ohhh well technically they don't use the term "trial former" or "day 1" after the first game, they go by sections. So you would have been in Part 2-2 (second section, second part). Although no one actually uses the game's labeling since they tend to refer to the cases with the same system lol.

What I was really asking about was the "ring" comment though, I didn't realize you meant Apollo's bracelet.

The problem I have with Galaxy is that completing it is a super long task so it starts just feeling like a chore.  The difficulty hardly scales so most all of the game is super easy, and combined with the standard first party Nintendo complete lack of story I just get bored of the game.

Compared to 64 and Sunshine there is a drastic drop in difficulty.  Epic Yarn is stupidly easy yea, but it's also a different sort of game so I wouldn't directly compare like that :P  I have heard Galaxy 2 is more challenging so perhaps that can be a reference, but I haven't played so I can't say for myself.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

Yeah, I don't know why, but Galaxy just felt kinda repetitive and boring after a while to me. I mean, it had great music and looked really nice, but Super Mario Sunshine will always be the best Mario platformer in my eyes. Of course, I have yet to play SMG2, which I've heard is extremely good. I really need to play that sometime... :P
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: jegilmer on February 22, 2015, 05:06:47 PM
Ah finally talking about games that I am familiar with!
I liked Super Mario Galaxy more than Super Mario Galaxy 2.
But I'd agree that Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine are my favorites.
Super Mario Sunshine's graphics were so good for the time it came out in my opinion. The most difficult part to me was the mini games! I hated the one with the Lilly Pad....
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: jegilmer on February 22, 2015, 05:12:59 PM
The very last level on SMG2 is pretty freaking hard.
Honestly I think I like the games so much because of the music and the diversity of the worlds. And the mechanics are awesome. Especially the way gravity works in SMG and SMG2.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: MaestroUGC on February 22, 2015, 05:15:27 PM
The reason SMG was so easy was because it railroaded you in each mission, whereas as its predecessors let you figure out how to do things on your own.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Magic Mole on February 22, 2015, 05:39:49 PM
That's probably part of the reason I love Sunshine so much. You have a goal for each level, but in reality you can pretty much do whatever you want. I really like how you're rewarded for exploring with all of the hidden secrets and whatnot.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Maelstrom on February 22, 2015, 07:00:31 PM
I always felt that Galaxy was an is the best mario game. Yes, it may not be that hard, and yes, you don't explore that much. But that's never been what Mario games have been about. They've been about having fun, never being too challenging (except the first 5 games), and just the overall presentation and experience. In that aspect, Galaxy excelled. I never found myself getting bored, but, then again, I didn't get that many stars past the required amount. The game felt so fresh and had a unique art direction/setting. I will admit. I haven't played Sunshine, or 64 on the original console. And I probably never will, as the polygonal graphics and camera angles have aged badly. idk where I was going with all this, but I never even considered Galaxy to be a bit repetitive. G2, on the other hand, did. Idk why, but it just felt so restrictive and felt like there were LESS things to explore, not more.

Quote from: MaestroUGC on February 22, 2015, 05:15:27 PMThe reason SMG was so easy was because it railroaded you in each mission, whereas as its predecessors let you figure out how to do things on your own.

Couldn't have said it better. I never thought of that, but that's a very good point.

He's in RU, so not too awfully low. He can often hold his own in OU, and is a good counter to BL threats like Manaphy. He's not game breakingly amazing, or really at all unfair, but he's still good.
Something to remember is that all tier listings from OU downward is based on usage, not by how good they are (there are limitations are guidelines in place to make sure that pokemon like magikarp don't go up to OU purely because hipsters took over the competitive scene).

yeaaah let me just stop you right there. often? eelektross gets its shit handed to him in OU, people don't use it even in UU for a reason. shitty recovery and even that is in form of giga drain(which isn't really suitable for OU), can't switch in to shit because it can only take a hit or two and can't even recover reliably back. shitty defensive typing. setup fodder for every mon with calm mind+recovery like clefable and sableye. even if you swap giga drain for hp ice which you would do to hit dragons, it's still a 3hko and your best move against mons like altaria who continue to setup dds.

lmao counter to manaphy? you should check your dictionary for the definition of a counter, as after one tail glow manaphy easily 2hkoes eelektross who can't ohko back even with tbolt. even +1 calm mind scald does like 40%. besides you're dumb af if the reason you add eelektross to your team is to check manaphy lol

tl;dr rotom-w, manectric or raikou will literally do everything better than eelektross ever will. something to remember is that if a mon isn't used much in the competitive scene, there's a reason for it. imo it's trash

actually you're wrong, 99% of the time they hold suspect tests where the community(=players who reach a high enough of a ranking on the suspect ladder) gets to vote should the pokemon that is suspected to be unhealthy for the metagame be banned from the tier or not. tier lists aren't defined by usage, they're defined by the community. this is why I don't get why people shit on Smogon for banning "so much", it's essentially democracy.
Spoiler
Quote from: how the council and the system works for quick bans and suspect testsAs for the procedure, the council will employ towards handling bans within two protocols: 1) quick bans and 2) suspect tests.

I) Quick bans will be made when a certain aspect (be it a Pokémon, an ability, a move, an item or a combination of the aforementioned) of the metagame becomes so blatantly broken that passing it through a formal suspect test would be a waste of time and effort for everyone. From now on, quick bans will be made according to the following circumstances:

1. Before the council makes the final decision, a thread will be posted in Policy Review, so that everyone who has posting privileges in that forum will get the chance to weigh in and potentially influence the decision. The thread will stay open for approximately one week;
2. When the decision is made, the council will post a thread in Uncharted Territory. The post will provide the reasons behind the ban.

II) Suspect tests will be the standard protocol for handling bans and unbans, much like it happened during the B/W era. Suspect tests will last approximately one month each and will abide by the following procedure:
1. The council identifies a potentially unhealthy aspect of the metagame and posts a discussion thread about it in Uncharted Territory. The purpose for this is to see what the playerbase, at large, thinks;
2. If there's enough demand for a suspect test, the council announces a suspect test. A suspect ladder is then implemented on Pokémon Showdown and a formal suspect thread is posted in the Uncharted Territory forum, for people to share their experiences on the ladder and to discuss the effects of the suspect in the metagame. For those that are interested in voting, they are required to achieve a certain rating/deviation on the ladder;
3. After the account identification phase occurs, eligible voters vote on the suspect along with the council members (who are automatically qualified for voting);
4. If the suspect achieves a certain majority, it is banned from the metagame (or unbanned, in case of formerly banned subjects).

Technically if it got a Critical Hit at X4 SpA while holding a Life Orb it could 1HKO pretty much anything with low enough defenses. That doesn't make it competitively acceptable though.

Assault Vest is pretty much the most viable set, and if it was holding Specs, it couldn't even switch in because +3 Scald/Surf(I like to run Scald) has a chance to ohko without the vest(guaranteed ko after rocks).

Yeah but to note I was talking about the most likely situation, the manaphy would most likely set up a tail glow when the so-called counter eelektross is sent in and manaphy can hit the next turn because the static worm is slow as shit.

I'm going to gut every one of those idiots who work at Genius Sonority Inc. for creating Pokemon Shuffle. HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY EVEN CONSIDER MAKING A GAME THAT CAN'T BE BEATEN WITHOUT PAYING MONEY. I refuse to spend money on it, yet you make goddamn bosses that you can't even anywhere near defeat without spending thousands of coins!

WHY YOU MAKE MEGA GLALIE IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT? HUH?? >:(

Well, you can buy things before a battle to help you out: delay opponents disruptions, remove one Pokemon from play to make things easier, etc. The shit part about it is that they cost a FORTUNE!!

Seriously, Complexity -1 is 9000 coins for ONE. And you get 100 coins from a single level the first time you beat it... 30 any time from then on... So, just do 300 levels and you have enough to buy one.

Even buying jewels, you spend a heap of jewels just to get 48,000 coins, which is only 5 of those things... A rip-off, I tell you. :(

I haven't played much of SMG1 at all, but I've watched my friend play quite a large portion of it. Plus, he kept getting me to try all of the hardest levels 'cause he knows how much I hate the control scheme for those games. :P

I have played up to World 4 so far in SMG2 and I must say it's not the most pleasant experience. A lot of the levels are rather tricky to find things in and are awfully narrow, making for someone as derpy as me to constantly lose lives... And the fact that all your lives reset when you end the game shits me.

ANYWAYS, it's got an annoyingly difficult edge to it that's not in the slightest bit remorseful. I keep hearing these damn Lumas say "PLAY WITH SOMEONE ELSE, IT'S FUN." and my response to that is "IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN PLAY WITHOUT RAGE-QUITTING, YOU ASSHOLES!"  >:(

So yeah, I don't have a very high opinion of the Galaxy series due to that. But, as I will point out, it's literally based around SMG2. What I've seen/played of SMG1 is MUCH nicer than anything from number 2. I'd probably enjoy playing that one... If I felt like playing one of those games again. Maybe at some point down the track.

Post by: KefkaticFanatic on April 14, 2015, 02:51:37 AM
How was SMG1 not linear?  I haven't played 2, but 1 was always a single path with maybe an inconsequential second one that was just as hand-held as the other one.  Sure they gave it enough variety to not completely feel like you were walking down a long pathway to the end, but it would be silly to say it wasn't linear.

Simply, the mechanics felt fresh in galaxy 1. They felt stale in 2. It just didn't do anything that felt quite as original or epic as 1.

Post by: MaestroUGC on April 14, 2015, 08:14:04 AM
Haven't not played Galaxy 2 yet, I can say the Galaxy 1 isn't as great as previous Mario titles. Sure it's neat and looks pretty, but it was a huge step back from the open, explore-able worlds of 64 and Sunshine. Galaxy actually railroads you pretty hard to do the set objective compared to 64 and as such a lot of the challenge element from the series was stripped because of it. Galaxy came across more as an old-school Mario platformer with a new candy wrapper.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on April 14, 2015, 08:29:12 AM
Actually if there's one thing I don't understand it's the hate on SMG2's soundtrack... it's pretty objectively better than the first's.

After playing Super Mario 64 again though I do understand why everyone is clamoring for an open world experience. That game almost feels like Zelda with the amount of puzzling and exploring you have to do within the game's world. It was lovely actually. The newer titles are far more accessible to the average player though so I can understand why they've been making linear games since Galaxy (yes Nocturne, Galaxy is incredibly linear even if it's disguised as an open world game).
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Olimar12345 on April 14, 2015, 08:48:54 AM
No one here made the comment that super Mario Galaxy was NOT linear. We were comparing the two, and said that smg2 was MORE linear than the first one.

And I don't understand how you came to that conclusion when you formed your opinion about the music. All of smg music sounds essentially like smg1 music; they simply reused their formula for creating the pieces. The ost consisted of more remixes, and even reused some smg1 music.

Basically this. It didn't differentiate itself enough.

I understand why you don't like the linearity of Galaxy, but, imo, it felt fresh and unique. While you couldn't explore environments like SM64, there were so many more, and each felt totally unique, with a few exceptions. Galaxy 2 took away some of the absolute wonder the first game gave me, and decided to make up for it with a boring world map and Lubba. I still hate that guy.

I didn't say I hate the music, but it really isn't that original like Super Mario Galaxy which had great music. They were kinda lazy with the music in 2. Don't get me wrong, I like 2's music but 1's is much better.

The world map I actualy don't mind. I'm not a big fan of Lubba. They should of had Rosalina come back though......I mean she's kinda the face of Galaxy so it's just stupid not to bring her back :p
I just think the levels are much more fun than the original and they fixed a lot of things I didn't really like about the first. The more I think about it though, they are kind of equal. It's hard to pick one over the other. They both are great!
But it's no doubt in my mind that Super Mario 64 is better than both Galaxies.

About.....Super Mario Sunshine, I loved that game. There were 2 things I really didn't like about though.
1. Sheesh.....it was way to hard :p
2. No long jump?? That's like 3D Mario's trademark. They even brought back in 3D World (even though you don't need it in 3D World). I guess they took it out of Sunshine to encourage you to use F.L.U.D.D all the time.

One thing I can say for sure is this: I loved both Galaxies, 64, and Sunshine. It doesn't really matter which one is better than the other. They all have flaws and perfections. :)

THAT LAST BIT OF LOGIC

That's so good I'm so glad you liked it. This is probably going to be the most annoying thing you've ever heard, but as incredible as the narrative of 999 is (and it's probably objectively the best story in a Nintendo DS title), Virtue's Last Reward's story is even better and more mind-bending so check that out if you can.

That game.

I remember playing that. It's more of an interactive novel than a game. I think I liked it.... It's hard to tell. I remember there being a lot of blood and heavy themes... Too much adult stuff for me to handle. XD

Still, I'd recommend it to someone into that kinda stuff.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on April 19, 2015, 03:30:38 PMThat's so good I'm so glad you liked it. This is probably going to be the most annoying thing you've ever heard, but as incredible as the narrative of 999 is (and it's probably objectively the best story in a Nintendo DS title), Virtue's Last Reward's story is even better and more mind-bending so check that out if you can.

Who was your favorite character though I'm really curious
Well, I've got quite a few games I need to beat first, but it's on the list.
Random thoughts about characters and other stuff (Spoilers, obvs)
Spoiler
Ace -- Seems like a nice guy, but is really a psychopath.
Snake -- Never really liked him that much until the safe ending. After that, though, he's pretty high on the list.
Santa -- Really thought he was Zero after the coffin ending. Nope.
Clover -- It's kind of odd and slightly disturbing how a kid can go from a mentally unstable mass murder to a little girl who just wants her brother back.
Junpei -- Kind of a blank slate that everyone seems to choose to be the leader. Not too much personality, with the exceptions of his flashbacks to his childhood
June (Akane) -- Still don't quite understand what was going on with her. I think I went through a few lines of ending text too quickly.
Seven -- Pretty boring character until he starts getting his memory back. Then he's pretty good.
Lotus -- I still don't know why she is wearing that -_-    Probably the least predictable character who didn't turn out to be a mass murderer. She kind of took a back seat near the end, though

As for favorite, I'm not entirely sure. I kind of want to say Snake, but I have no way to back it up.  :P

Yes, in case you were wondering, I did stay up until 3:00 AM last night finishing that sudoku puzzle. I get all the 9s in it, but it still seemed slightly laughable that that was the ultimate puzzle

Is it odd that I got the coffin ending and the safe ending on my first two tries?

edit: Probably arranging Morphogenetic Sorrow sometime in the future.

Hey Maelstrom--go here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/thikksh1quoqsld/999%20Interview%20Uchikosi.doc?dl=0) for a fan Q&A with Kotaro Uchikoshi, director and writer of the Zero Escape series. This was published a couple months after 999 came out and it's not only interesting, but also very helpful for understanding the end (a lot of fans seemed to be as confused about Akane's character as you did). There aren't any spoilers for Virtue's Last Reward here as it hadn't been announced, let alone published, yet.

Nobody had to die :P  This means you either fucked up in team decisions, didn't complete loyalty missions, or didn't get all of the necessary ship upgrades.

However, it really is something pretty neat how you can play your own way and come out with this somewhat personal ending.  Some will be more significant than others in ME3, so you can see it more or less strongly impacting the storylines there as well.

There were a couple loyalty missions I fucked up. (Thanes and Tali's, and Jack lost loyalty because I sided with Miranda during the argument, being the prick I am  :) )So, Jack, Thane, Tali, and Jacob died because I put him in the heat ducts.

Metroid Prime easily falls within my top 3 favorite games of all time. No other game will ever be able to recreate the feel and environment of the Prime games. I think I liked the first one more, but to me it's like comparing perfect to amazing. Can't wait to play Prime 3  ;D ;D ;D

The opening and closing of Prime 2 were just phenomenal. (Yes, definitely including the Sanctuary Fortress) Imo, Prime 3 is the weakest in the series. It becomes a lot more linear, and the worlds feel segmented instead of an overlapping and cohesive whole like Prime 1.

And yes, Metroid Prime 1 is easily one of the best games ever made. Period.

Finishing up Code Name S.T.E.A.M. before I jump into FE Awakening's post game (and gratuitous amounts of grinding).
It's hard and sort of flawed, but doesn't really ever cease to be fun. The story is completely off the wall and seems to be making fun of it's madness as it progresses. And the soundtrack is one of the best, if not the best, metal soundtracks ever.

I've been playing streetpass mii plaza as much as possible without doing any sort of home-pass.
Battle-ground z is fun, ultimate angler is difficult to earn plaza tickets with though.

I was soooo close to beating arcade mode in Mii Force, I made it all the way to 5-2 and lost my last ship (had 6 mii characters with me at the time.)
On hard mode I've made it to 3-1 with a single ship. Around 93/120 reputations.

I got the last hat from Find Mii II secret quest right before they updated the game to make it easier with helper bunny. :P I've put that in the games vault.
I've earned all the tickets from Flower Town but I'm two breeds away from having all of them out of 80.

I'm one plaza ticket away from all in Warrior's way; I only need to challenge 25 other monarchs from afar to reach 300.
I'm 5 floors away from the top in Monster Manor, but I still need to get all the weapons and complete all the puzzle boxes.

for puzzle swap, I have somewhere around 1450/1502 pieces.
I have a little over 40 unique streetpass birthdays... and plaza population is somewhere between 850 - 950.

Glad I'm not the only one who buys the Street Pass games, lol. I don't have all of them but the ones I do have are pretty fun.

Battleground Z is good but doesn't really work well as a Street Pass game imo. Ultimate Angler is probably going to last a lot longer and have a lot more replayability.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: fingerz on May 13, 2015, 07:50:26 PM
Hahaha! You could call me the StreetPass master when it comes to those games. Not because I've completed everything, but because I have SIX 3DSes at my disposal for those games. Three are mine, one is my friend's and the last two are my brother's ones. So, I effectively StreetPass a minimum of 10 people a day. Makes these games a piece of cake. :P

My stats so far:

Plaza Population: 2012
StreetPass Hits: 4999

Puzzle Swap: All pieces and puzzles collected to date.

StreetPass Quest I & II: Fully completed and all hats acquired. Changing Mii colours and meeting Level 7s all the time helped me beat these REALLY quickly.

StreetPass Squad: Got all Plaza Tickets. Changing Mii colours helped to get all of these. A fun game, but it got a tad annoying when trying to get those tricky gems.

StreetPass Garden: Got all Plaza Tickets. Completed all missions with Gold Rank and have all plants. I'm currently working on collecting all the different colours (about 60% there so far). Won't be too difficult to do with all those different colours at my disposal.

StreetPass Battle: Got all Plaza Tickets. I loved this one A LOT, but it took ages to get everything! Then again, I had it easy because I'd meet six or so Generals every day to help rack up those difficult challenges. Still, I loved this one the most out of all the Pack 1 games.

StreetPass Mansion: Got all Plaza Tickets. Completed Floor 50 so I've got the final hat as well. I loved the creativity for this game too! Having everyone as blue made getting chests and puzzle boxes a breeze!

StreetPass Fishing: Completed two islands and working my way through the rest. I actually made my 3DS XL native to Austria so I could download a game that didn't come out here, so I get a Golden Pass EVERY TIME I play the game. That was lucky... Colour manipulation will make it quite easy to get all these little fishies! Such an addictive game!

StreetPass Zombies: Completed the game and collecting all the medals now. Some of them are gonna be a bitch to get... At least I can change people's hobbies to get the right weapons for rare zombies. Some of those protect medals are gonna take some serious skill to pull off... Fun, but it'll wear thin like StreetPass Squad after a while.

StreetPass Birthdays: I can just cheat with this. Change everyone's birthday each time we StreetPass and I'll have all 366 days in just over 3 months. :P

Anyways, yeah, I sorta cheat a little, but it gets the job done SO much quicker. Besides, I feel like they're designed for heavy StreetPass traffic, so I'm using it to the best of its abilities. I think I've racked up around 190 hours on StreetPass alone... XD

I wouldn't consider that cheating, compared to setting up something like Homepass, where you can set your wifi-router to do crazy things like basically be a nintendo zone of your choice from around the world....

The monster manor (streetpass mansion) and ultimate angler (streetpass fishing) are the only two hats I have left to get, but I really don't have that many bubbles.

In the original, for a first boss, Odolwa was insanely frustrating (even if you have a guide, which kind of invalidates the point in the first place). New version is more intuitive and actually encourages you to use the Deku Mask.

Playing through the Mass Effect series again. Forgot how long those games are though, so probably gonna take me a while.

QuoteFire Emblem 7

I dunno if you care about full story completion and stuff, but if you do, definitely get a guide for the side-quest requirements and stuff. A couple of the requirements are pretty vague, like "have 'X' character be at least a certain level by 'Y' chapter, then do 'Z' in a side-quest to unlock another side-quest," etc. You'll need to do at least a couple of playthroughs to see everything, but all the story content was worth it to me, and it's still my favourite of the localized games.

Nice! Battle Network's one of my favourite series ever. Sucks that you can't do multiplayer on the VC releases, but I like that they let you get the event only chips at least. I don't really recommend Battle Chip Challenge though, since it doesn't really add anything story-wise, and the "gameplay" isn't that fun.

Yeah, I think the first one was probably the hardest in terms of puzzles and bosses and stuff. The second and third games are also great and add a lot of new features, so I definitely recommend them if you like the first one.

Easier said than done. I just need to make sure my taguel and manaketes are NOT on the same sides as the wyrmslayers and beastbanes.
Seriously, that's one of very few things that could do more than 3 damage to Tiki.

I have been doing that. I'm on Ch26x right now. Leveling up Nino is going to be such a pain..... I just wish there wasn't a support limit (if I actually got support conversations, that is..)
What's a great non-localized one? I'm thinking about playing one of those soon, but idk where to start.

FE6 (Binding Blade) and FE12 (New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow). Both have alright stories (FE6 feels like an homage/parody to Marth's games, FE12 will feel like Shadow Dragon but better in like every way), but where they really shine is in the challenge they give. Plus they're sequels to games you've already played anyways (well, once you're done FE7).

If you just want a good story though, then definitely FE4 (Holy War). The patch isn't as good if I recall though. You can try FE5 after FE4, but again, the patch isn't as good.

FE2 also has a good patch, but the game itself is old and pretty different from the rest.

FE1 and FE3 are pretty much obsolete with the DS remakes.

So yeah, FE6/FE12 or FE4 are my recommendations.

When you say patch, you are referring to the fan translation, correct?

How much better is 12 than Shadow Dragon? I absolutely hated SD. Just gave up halfway through and haven't regretted it since. And it was right after finishing Sacred Stones, so I guess you can see why I was disappointed.

I now properly appreciate the lack of a world map (I didn't then), but branching class paths are just that awesome. I felt like I was cheated.

In my honest opinion Guacamelee is a FANTASTIC game and is definitely worth your time, especially if you like 2D Metroid games. I can't recommend that game enough. Woah Dave is a decent arcade-style game, if high scores are your thing, and Mighty Switch Force is an OK 3DS Puzzle Platformer game.

As for the more expensive games, I honestly haven't played any of those outside of Steamworld Dig which I found addicting but rather short. But Guacamelee is a MUST in my opinion. You won't regret it

I've heard good things about Guacamelee and mixed reports on OlliOlli, but haven't heard anything about any of the rest of these games.

Wouldn't call them all terrible. Woah Dave is the only one with generally bad metacritic scores. (And The Fall, but that's mostly criticized for being the first in a trilogy and there has been no word of the follow-ups)
Imo, Guacamelee and Steamworld Dig are excellent and well worth your time, but are the only two on the list that I have played.
Mighty Switch Force was developed by Wayforward (Shantae) and Olimar has an arrangement from it on his page.
I've heard pretty good things about Olliolli as a series, and Stealth Inc. 2. (Metroidvania sequel to a level based stealth multiplat indie that was pretty well received)
And Moon Chronicles is a port of a DS game of the same name made by Renegade Kid, maker of Mutant Mudds (I hate that game, but people seem to like it) and some other stuff.
And, a Nicalis game or two might show up next week to warrant a purchase.

Is it weird that I know all of this?

Shadow Dragon had weight, it just removed Con, so you calculated using the Strength stat instead. FE12 did remove weight though. Kinda funny to hear you say this kinda stuff though about Sacred Stones, since FE8 got a bit of hate when it first came out for reasons like the characters not having as rich backstories as those in FE7, and the game being way too easy compared to the first two GBA games, etc.

Anyways, FE12 still has the bad battle animations (but honestly, only the GBA games had amazing animations, and the other games just had okay animations), but it touched up some graphics like the face sprites and stuff. Just look up how different (better) Marth's portrait looks in this game.

On the plus side, Support Conversations are back, although there still aren't as many as in the GBA games. The overall story's roughly the same as Shadow Dragon in the same sense that stuff like Mario and Zelda games have re-hashed main plots and villains. However, there's a recurring theme of Marth running into his allies from the previous war, only they're not necessarily on the same side this time around, so it's kinda more dramatic and tragic in that sense.

There are side-quests, and without stupid requirements like having to kill off your army. The side-quests pretty much make another story arc that will probably remind you of FE7.

Oh, and if you liked the Avatar system, this game started it, so there's that.

So yeah, similar story as Shadow Dragon, but it's better and explores more characters than just Marth this time around, and a bunch of features that people missed were brought back.

lolwhat. That makes no sense whatsoever.

As for everything else about FE8, just remember that was the first game I played in the entire series. Followed by Shadow Dragon and Awakening, and now FE7. I just don't feel quite as invested as I did before, and I think it's affecting my enjoyment a bit. I'll still finish it, but I'll probably need to replay it to appreciate it fully, like I did for Awakening. My first time through, ch 10 didn't effect me at all. It was not the same way on my second time through....

A bit late, but Dark Souls is a fantastic game. It's just a little hard to get into fully. Difficulty is a large aspect, but they make it "fair". 90% of deaths come from carelessness, and as long as you can admit that for most of them, it won't frustrate you. (As long as you're careful not to stop playing at major points; being out of practice has a fairly major impact) The way to approach it is that each death is practice for the next life. What I think turns more people away is the lack of direction. Basically, you're told how to control your character, and then they let you loose with only one or two big pointers per area. It's not a big deal to look up where to go next, but the best part of the game is getting lost in a world whose lore is immensely deeper than it will ever tell you. I would highly recommend this game to people who like action rpgs. Also every character has a creepy laugh, so that's fun.

Xbox controller or similar is basically required. The port is horrendous and is only forgiven by the quality of the game and that From hadn't done a PC port before. Controls will be given to you in terms of Xbox controllers regardless of what you're using.

Doesn't have a formula like "find dungeon, beat boss." You find bosses just by exploring. You don't always need to beat a boss to find upgrades.

Finally got shovel knight, played through it in one sitting. What an incredible game. Perfectly captured the spirit of what it was trying to emulate, but with all of the improvements that hindsight and improved technology allow. Especially the score, I mean fuck. I'd been listening to that for months before playing, it's what convinced me to buy it.

My favorite aspect of the gameplay was the completely seamless way it introduced new mechanics. Minor instructions on relics and abilities, and that's about it for anything overt; every other aspect of the gameplay was introduced in a very mega man-esque way, with new level mechanics being introduced at a perfectly manageable level before getting more intense and reintegrated with the previous mechanics. I'm pretty sure it did this even better than mega man, to be honest, because they stayed in a very good range of "challenging but not too punishing". The whole dark souls "recover your currency from where you died" was a nice touch, too (though it often left you fucked after falling into a pit).

I agree with this all the way, Shovel Knight is like a more polished and more modern version of the classic Mega Man games. I'd argue that the weapons you get from beating levels aren't really as creative or fun to use as Mega Man, but for the most part Shovel Knight could be considered up there with the best Mega Man games.

Well I've beaten Northern Algol and the Final Boss level. It's funny how you might think that the final boss should be the hardest, but IMO northern algol was harder, haven't played them all, might be some that are even harder. Sometimes I feel more lucky than skillful winning. I'm using Yoshimitsu, and using neutral combo a, a>, kick(deals lot of damage if it hits), k>>(can ring out opponents),and sometimes try to block, very basic stuff, and hope that the opponent doesn't get a hit because they can capitalize very well on hits and sometimes they can lead into a death combo.

Depends on your skill with RPGS. It's shorter than Earthbound, but much more difficult than Earthbound as well, especially in the very beginning of the game where enemies can 1-hit you and you don't learn any helpful PSI moves except for Lifeup alpha. It's not nearly as boring as Earthbound's first hour of gameplay, though since if you know what you're doing you can get past the first areas of the game very quickly, especially if you know which enemies give the most EXP without hurting you that much. You will need to grind a bit though, but not too much if you buy the right equipment. After you get your second party member, you actually have a lot of freedom. If you want to grind a lot, you can skip parts of the game and do them out of order, since the only thing that is blocking your way at that point are insanely difficult enemies. You WILL need a map for a few dungeons in the game, however.

Spent some days at my country-house. During the time I beat Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, it's a really great game, I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it. I haven't played many Castlevania games, but it felt a lot like a Metroid game: running around in a maze, fighting bosses, collecting items etc.

That's why they're called Metroidvania :P  You'll probably enjoy the revival by the same designer as those series of Castlevania games then, Bloodstained

I played and beat Transistor in two sittings today.
The game is a work of art, and the combat is awesome.
Yet, the last portion pits you against the same enemies over and over again with little variation, not to mention they're only attack takes out half your health and is difficult to avoid.
The final boss was great, but sadly only the second boss in the game.
And the ending........left a bit to be desired.
But it was totally worth $5.00.

The more I've played the game, the more I love and hate the soundtrack. It's so beautiful, and yet, I don't feel a connection between the individual songs and the areas they play in. I can only say a certian song played in a specific area just because that's the title of the song.

I'm proud to say I have finally beaten the first mode of Crypt of the NecroDancer, a feat only 6% of players have managed to do, according to Steam.

It's maybe not the perfect fit. In our classics like Pokémon and Zelda, the music kinda adheres to the the areas and events. The soundtrack to this game is a little more standalone. Kinda like really good background music. But it's still great.

I also snatched the Legendary Bat from Cave of the Past (Took forever since the enemies will one hit KO everything at my level) and the three others from going to Dalaam early but it's still interesting to play in a completely random order.

Nice! That's one of my favourites.

Spoiler
And hey now, Marth was pretty snarky in Shadow Dragon. He just had a pile of angst to deal with since his childhood was about as bad as Bruce Wayne's.

Oh, and FE7's writing will probably stand out more once you do the second playthrough, and/or read the Supports.

QuoteSo far, it's corrected everything I really hated about Shadow Dragon. This would have really helped the franchise if it got release overseas.

Eh, if I had one complaint about the transition from Shadow Dragon, it's that the graphics/art-style still isn't that appealing (although Marth and some other characters do look notably better). I really wish they based it more off the GBA games' art-style.

But yeah, I agree with you guys that it would've been great to have had it released internationally. I blame it on the game coming out so late in the DS era.

Finished Guitar Hero Smash Hits! (on expert)

Raining Blood: Oh, let's make the one of the hardest passages in guitar hero 3(and in guitar hero in general)  EVEN HARDER! Really fun... but with my sick skills and after some tries, I manage to beat it. Also funny ending with 5-chord with starpower?? Great that they put a starpower at the very last chord what are you going to use it for? Probably just to make it look cool lol.

Play with Me: overall, a really hard song. Can't remember how hard it was in 80's but I'm pretty sure that they increased the difficulty on this one enormously. Still not as hard as Raining Blood, but hard. Also fun with slide-notes which you can tap :).

Through the Fire and the Flames: Slide-notes in intro yay :). Makes it way easier but also way more fun. I always thought that the intro in GH3 was quite ridiculous in the sense that it was the hardest part of the song. Otherwise the song's a bit different, probably a bit easier overall, but still a really hard song.

event 51: y, secret tip: use Puff and rest! The AI is stupid and don't punish plus it's super easy too hit Giga Bowser and even multiple characters with the rest. Only drawback is that Jigg's is light and dies easily.. and Ganon's pretty strong. This was my strategy of beating it, there might be other like Falcon with knee, tipper-Marth(tried it first but didn't work well so I switched to Puff).

Concerning melee: I've been stuck trying to collect the Crazy Hand trophy(beat all-star on hard or very hard without continues). I frustrating and ridiculously hard, have given up after many many tries. And why can't you use the c-stick!! Sakurai...

Definitely. That was the only way I was able to beat it when I was younger.
Since we're on the subject of Melee, I just recently heard about Samus' extended grapple. I tried it and that junk is crazy.

Y, I know. However I don't know if exist in PAL. I don't think so. Y those kinds of funny tricks are always fun. As a Falcon main, I've watched some games of a Falcon player named Jeapie, one if not the best Falcon in Europe. He knows some tricks and is one heck of an entertainer, and it's fun to learn some.

Like really hard.
Like most of my units have capped stats and 3/4 of the units I was supposed to protect died.
And that was after the countless restarts and even more grinding to get those fragile units to survive past turn 1.

Although, I have never felt as helpless as in map 2, when, one turn away from their escape, 6 fliers move into range and it was impossible to protect them.

I'll probably just watch a playthrough on youtube. I'm done with grinding.

Oh right. What I'm playing right now:

I don't actually have time outside of work to play much, but there's quite often downtime at my jobs, and since I'm not allowed to have headphones or my own computer with me (and therefore have very limited options for using that time productively), I've taken to playing games on snesfun.

Some of my favorite games are 20 years old.
Just because a game is old, doesn't mean it's any less good.

The only real issue of the SMG games today is that lame 480p display the Wii used. It plays as a great game, it just looks dated compared to the newer Mario games like Captain Toad (which by the way has become my favorite Wii U game) or 3D World.

Exactly.....my favorite games between 5-15 years old.
My favorite series:
1. Paper Mario 7-15 years old.
2. Banjo-Kazooie 7-17 years old
3. 3D Mario Games 3-19 years old.

Yeah. 3D World is a beauty.
We could use some more good Mario games :.

It does look a little better when played on the Wii U, as it has a higher graphical output. (Although it is not nessicarily putting more processor power into it).

Imo, PS1/N64 era games have aged pretty badly, with a few exceptions.
It's the SNES games that really hold up today.

PS1 yes.....but A lot of games I love are from N64. Banjo Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie by far my favorite games from the N64 (but since Rare Replay came out I guess they aren't really N64 anymore), Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Smash 64 (A lot of people might not like this game but I really like it.) and let's not forget Paper Mario ;)
Also the GameCube has a vast library of great games: Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario TTYD, Luigi's Mansion, Smash Melee, Double Dash, Wind Waker, Mario Parties, Wario World etc.

I still think PS1 games are great. Comparing to PS2, I personally think that PS1 has more good games, and I have a lot of favorites from PS1 such as Final Fantasy VI, Wild Arms, Croc etc.

It's just my opinion that most N64/PS1 games didn't age well. Including the ones you mentioned. Mostly due to early bad camera controls and painfully polygonal graphics. Majora's masked aged decently due to the required use of the expansion pack.
Of all the games I've played from that era, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night aged the best because it stuck to 2D graphics and felt like a SNES game with 2 times as much power.

Tbh people say that about the N64, but I downloaded Super Mario 64 to my Wii U and played the whole thing back when it came out, after not touching the original I n years, and even without the nostalgia it's basically a perfect game besides the awkward camera controls. It's aged incredibly well, I was very surprised.

Oh yeah. The camera on some N64 games are a pain in the butt :P
The Banjos are surprisingly good camera-wise but Super Mario 64 not so much.

And there are many gems from SNES as well: Super Mario RPG (highly recommend), Mega Mans, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island (SMW2), Castlevania, etc.

Out of all the retro consoles, the SNES probably has the most games that would be fun for modern audiences. I prefer the NES personally but the SNES is just leaps and bounds ahead of it in most regards.

Also, I don't consider the N64 to be a retro console. It feels too modern.

The N64 is a retro console yet, retro anything is usually regarded as 30 years or older. Give it until about 2018 before you can start calling the N64 and PS1 retro.

If you're having trouble with MM3D, you're not going to like the original at all. Compared to the remake, it's a painful, boring, confusing slog (which it really shouldn't be, something that defies all expectations!).

I couldn't get more than 3 hours into the 3D version because Tatl was so irritating.
I guess I'm just the kind of person who likes puzzles in games to be actual puzzles, and not have everything spelled out for them. It felt like the game was leading me through every single step and never letting go. But, when I play a Legend of Zelda game, the last thing I want is to constantly be told what to do. I want to figure it all out on my own.

Also, I hate the fact that they made all the owl statues hard saves.
Having only one shot at say, saving Romani Ranch, and not being able to simply reset and start from your last save point made the game all the more intense.

There are hardly any changes beyond small convenience updates and a substantially better save system.  If you're complaining about hand holding then you probably needed it in the first place, as it's not noticeable unless you seek it out.  There's no requirement to constantly talk to your fairy or go into the ez walkthrough stone.

Yoshi's Story is a platformer that was released for the Nintendo 64, and was pretty heavily criticized because it's far easier and generally different from Yoshi's Island, which was very popular at the time. There's also a weird thing where you can only play one-fourth of the game's levels in any given play through, so you need to play it multiple times to actually see the whole thing. It's not very popular but I really loved it as a kid so it has a special place in my heart.

I agree! A lot of people hated Yoshi's story when it came out because it was different from Yoshi's Island, but I really like Yoshi's Story. It's one of the earliest games I remember playing, so that could be one of the reasons. And yes I agree! I actually arranged that piece a few weeks ago! It's such a catchy theme! But I think I've probably heard it, but I'll check it out again because I don't really remember it!

Boy, people just don't want change do they. It's just like CoD. People complained that CoD was the same crap every year, then ghosts got released which was COMPLETELY different, and got the worst reviews.  :P

You should get one! You might be able to get one pretty cheap on amazon or eBay. I'm not sure though.

And as far as CoD goes, I haven't really played many of their games. I usually play Halo haha.

I never played Halo because I have a PS5. But I tried Destiny which is the same thing...

I love the main "Yoshi's Song" theme that plays in the levels--it's such a catchy and well-layered track. Masakazu Sugimori's arrangement of the "Ending" that's in the Super Smash Bros. games is amazing as well, I'd recommend checking it out if you haven't! :D

Omg Yoshi Story! Such an adorable game, and the main theme is just awesome. The game features some funny elements such as Shy Guys on stilts and pogo sticks and the terrifying boss Cotton Candy. :)

Well, that's different. If the newest one is that old, that's fine. But considering Fallout 3 is the newest Fallout, PdS should be playing that. Just like me, I don't play NSMBW anymore, because that was 20089. I play NSMBU because that is 2013 therefore the newest! Understand, or not really?...Didn't explain it well...

The games I have in my DS right now were released in 2008 and 2003, respectively. (AJ:AA and FF Tactics) Also, I'm playing with a DS Lite, an outdated system. I could play Apollo Justice on my 3DS, but I choose not to because I prefer the DS Lite. So my take is basically that age doesn't matter, it's about how good the games are.

It's probably also got a lot to do with the fact that nobody's liked anything from any MM series for quite a few years now. Hard to keep making something if the even the hard core fans so "this isn't good."

Mega Man 9 and 10 both got stellar reviews though  :-\

NSMB2 was possible one of my least favorite First Party Nintendo titles to this date. It just felt like a massive step back: the level design wasn't as good, you got too many lives, and 1/4 of the worlds weren't even reached normally.
NSMBU felt like it didn't add enough new content to become memorable. It felt like a rehash of NSMBWii, but without the memorable level design or just enough new and original content. Kind of like how I feel about Mario Galaxy 2.

Check the cam of the hallway right outside your right office door if you hear him laugh. If he's staring you down, close the door.

Also, if you run out of power, let go of the keyboard and do not move the mouse. None of the other animatronics will attack you and Freddy's song takes twice as long to kill you. It doesn't guarantee survival, but if it's 5 AM the song is normally long enough to last you for an hour.

Played this game called Year Walk that came out on Wii U today, it was short but really creepy and really neat. It's apparently been out on iOS and PC, before, but this version I'm assuming is a lot different just because of the way the Gamepad is implemented into the game. It's kind of spoilery to say why, but the incorporation of the Gamepad into the puzzles alone is cool enough for me to recommend it, even though it's a pretty short experience and it is kind of pricey at $6.99. I wish every game used the Wii U's features like this one did, it was really really cool.

Also it's got an awesome atmosphere and it's got a great knack for horror without going overboard, so if that's your thing I recommend it.

I replayed New Super Mario Bros. U in conjunction with New Super Luigi U (which I hadn't played yet) and I had a really good time. I would clear a world in NSMBU and then play the remixed challenged world of NSLU and it made for a nice balance (though viewing the same cutscenes in each version does get old). I might write a review on these games soon.

Also I'm playing Rise from the Ashes, which is super cool.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on November 03, 2015, 10:50:22 PM
TBH I 100% completed both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U and I think they might be my new favorite 2D Mario games. Especially New Super Luigi U; the whole "really short, really challenging" mechanic ended up giving me a legitimately great experience with every new level (unlike the main game, which plays it fairly predictably and safe at the beginning and doesn't really get to be great until somewhere around the third or fourth world).

I know I'm like three years late to the party on this one, but *wow.* Highly recommend playing these if you like 2D Mario, because they're seriously the best ever. They even knocked Super Mario Bros. 3 out of the top spot for me.

Yeah, I completely agree. And like I said, the first few worlds of NSMBU are really predictable and kind of lame. However, the game really becomes awesome and gets to be really challenging too. NSLU is much more challenging (maybe the toughest Mario game I've ever played) and basically has a cool level design from the beginning. So I really recommend it, but don't judge the game by the first two worlds, because those are definitely disappointing. (Also, be sure to go for 100% completion, because some of the coolest moments of either game are in the secret world)

Welp, I did it. I finally did it. After over a decade of calling myself a Zelda fan, I finally beat Ocarina of Time.
The game's good, but I wouldn't say it's the best of all time. Hyrule Field is mostly empty and doesn't have a lot going for it. I found myself sighing whenever I had to go somewhere that I couldn't just warp to. The combat's okay, but it usually devolves into block, swing, repeat. The dungeons were great, though, and I had a good time figuring them all out (Water Temple included; I only had one major backtracking issue throughout the whole thing, and I was wise enough to place Farore's Wind at the spot earlier so I could jump back to it). Bosses were generally awesome too. The main problem I had was how vague things were at times. There were points where I was certain that if I hadn't known what to do in advance from watching playthroughs in the past, I might have been stuck for a long time. And the plot? Eh, Zelda games this early on didn't have or really need a brilliant plot, and this game in particular thrives more on its gameplay anyway. Best game ever? Nah. Best Zelda game ever? Maybe from a dungeon design standpoint, though I think it's a toss-up between this and Twilight Princess in that field. 8.5/10.

It was on 3DS VC lol but I honestly didn't even have enough fun to revisit it again anytime soon. That was a few years ago. Maybe in the next couple years I'll try the Zelda series again.

also I've been addictively playing Animal Crossing, both New Leaf and Happy Home Designer. (I've now bought two packs of those amiibo cards, and probably won't buy any more, at least for a while, since I got Octavian, one of my favorites, in the last pack.)

Playing right now:
Tabletop Simulator on Steam.

It is so cool to be able to play (virtually [hah puns]) any board game you want in this online sandbox. I think my friends and I calculated it has over 6,000 mods??

Now, before you be that person that assumes I would rather play a virtual board game than a real life one, don't. I play them all the time, haha. This is just an alternative for people that may live a long time away or if we don't own the game in person.

That being said, if any of you get it and wish to play (it was 50% off the other day, but it's back up to $20), let me know! :)

A long time ago I mentioned how I was going through Battle Network 3, and now I'm about to wrap up that game so I'm playing some of Battle Chip Challenge as well.

Thoughts so far: It has odd music for the series, but it's well composed and sounds nice, the gameplay is very fast paced (Which I liked) and it's more engaging than the early Yu-Gi-Oh GBA games I had (why did I buy that horrible dungeon dice monsters game when I was a kid). The bad news is the story makes no sense and some of the CPU opponents are strange.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam! I played through the first area (about 3-4 hours worth and I have to say that so far it seems like Dream Team is the better game. However, this series isn't exactly known for starting off strong, so maybe with more time I'll grow to like it more! I'll have to overlook the tedious Paper Toad missions though--there's no reason for those to exist.

^ Years ago, I got Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal for the PS2 and it became one of my favorites for the system. Don't remember a ton about it other than it being really fun and funny.

I've been playing a lot of Hyrule Warriors lately, but soon I'm probably gonna play Metroid Prime 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles (second time, I want to go through the game again and do the quest chains I never completed the first time around and hopefully 100%ish it).

Just beat Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit... yeah, that's its name. It was a pretty good game- what the game did well, it did amazingly (not joking here), but what the game did poorly, it did terribly. From the start, it reminded me of Wario Land 4 and Earthworm Jim, but it does a lot of unique stuff in the game that makes it stand out (you ride on a drill jetpack through much of the game? Guns? SO MUCH GUNS!? Unfortunately/Fortunately, once I got the Shotgun, I kind of stopped using all the other guns).

Overall, it was just long enough to be interesting, but not boring (there's a point where the game stops being completely linear, and I think it does so at the perfect time to shake things up); I can understand why some people wouldn't like the game, but it's too much crazy fun with great humor for me to hate. Maybe with a better control scheme and a premise that allows the game to be longer/different, the concept could be put to better use, but I would still recommend the game for what it is already (plus, I got it for free, which definitely helps...).

Friends, help me!  I have the Virtual Console Blue Version now, but I have the French version (because the names are so much cooler- Bulbizzare, Rougissement, SHOP?!) and I need to know if the Brock Through Walls glitch works on any of the VC games or if it was patched out.  Nintendo is willing to work with me to get the English version if it works there, but if the brock through walls glitch doesn't work on any VC games I'll stick with the French version.

You need:
Level 8 bulbasaur
Leech Seed 10/10
Tackle 16/35
Growl 36/40

In that order!
Then, bypass the trainer east of pewter city with the pause glitch that you do, head east a little bit then walk back, check bulbasaur's stats, then talk to the trainer from earlier.  If done correctly, holding up on the D-pad will cause you to walk straight through the wall.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Dude on March 08, 2016, 11:53:49 AM
It's based on the special of the last pokemon you battled so fighting a ditto with a pokemon with the right special is more efficient
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: mikey on March 08, 2016, 02:27:50 PM
Actually it skips the ditto step, so if there are good trainers (like a certain level 31 Machop in Saffron city...) then it's easier to just go to the trainer, especially in yellow version where finding a ditto is rather time-consuming.  I believe a rocket grunt in Silph co. also generates missingno, which is how I first discovered him.  Elevator battle FTW

Post by: Dude on March 08, 2016, 04:56:02 PM
Well, say I needed a kangaskhan and don't have access to an 'm and suck at the safari zone, the ditto trick is the easiest way of getting one.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: mikey on March 08, 2016, 05:24:05 PM
yeah but if a trainer on cycling road generated kangaskhan that would be easier because you need to battle a trainer anyway
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

Imported Last Window: The Secret of Cape West from the UK since it never came out in America, and I'm a little ways into it. For those of you who don't know, it's the sequel to this lovely little DS game called Hotel Dusk: Room 215. Nintendo published the games (there's a trophy of the main character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl), but Cing, the company who developed them, went bankrupt after the second game was released. So it never got released outside of Japan and Europe and future installment plans never came to light. I totally recommend looking for a copy of Hotel Dusk if you're the type to enjoy adventure games like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Professor Layton; it's got a great story.

I really like this one so far. I'm very into the mystery of it all.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Olimar12345 on March 08, 2016, 07:59:50 PM
^jelly. Hotel dusk was great and I've always wanted to import this.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on March 08, 2016, 10:31:03 PM
Same! It's taken me two years since playing Hotel Dusk to import it just because the cost is a little too high for me to deem it worthwhile. But a few weeks ago, I turned pages for a professor at this long recital he and another professor were doing, and as a thank you gift he gave me an Amazon card. So I decided to spend it on Last Window and just pay the difference whatever it was. I'm really happy because it came with the packaging and instruction manual and everything, which is more than I have for the original Hotel Dusk loool (it was so hard to track down).

Speaking of which, European Nintendo DS cases are stupidly thick. Like, American DS packaging is already awkwardly thick, but the box this came in is like the size of a four disc CD case.

That was way too long but. Yeah I'm liking Last Window so far.

Post by: SlowPokemon on March 12, 2016, 08:16:25 PM
Soooooo I'm still playing Last Window, and although my file time is only 6 hours, my activity log has me at almost eight. Why? Because I'm doing this game without a walkthrough, meaning that I'll agonize for ages over a puzzle and get some game overs in the process, and like the original Hotel Dusk, some of the reasoning behind getting a game over is ridiculous.

Example: you need to play a cassette tape with someone's voice at one point. The game gives you no hints whatsoever as to how to get it to work. So after stumbling around the building for a while, I realized I had to play it in Kyle's answering machine (since it's set in 1980, everything is rather vintage). First you need to eject the answering machine cassette. Then put the new cassette tape in, oh but wait, do you want side A or side B? I picked side A, and when the tape wouldn't play, I figured I needed to rewind it. After letting it rewind as much as it can, something messes up and the cassette tape breaks. That's an instant game over, no joke, and the game gives you no warning about it at all. So when I replayed my progress from the last save up until then and gave it another go, I chose Side A again and rewound it, but before it was done rewinding, I hit play. Ah yes, that works! Oh wait, it's just a silly song. Side A isn't the right side. Okay, side B it is. I eject it and swap the sides, and soon realize this side WILL let you rewind as far as you need to without breaking the tape. Great. Oh, but when you play it, it's incomprehensible and too quiet for Kyle to hear. Pressing any of the other buttons does nothing and there's no way to listen to it. So I went searching around the entire apartment building the game is set in, looking for another cassette tape player (I had seen them around) but after a long time searching everything possible, I realize there's nothing to be done. Determined to get the answer without looking it up, I keep messing with Kyle's answering machine until FINALLY I stumble on the answer: you need to hit play, then fast forward before it starts playing. This somehow makes the tape play comprehensively. Does that make even a SHRED of sense to anyone? No? Me neither. The most laughable thing about this, though, is like I said before the game gives NO HINTS whatsoever and makes no indication that you need to do that, nor any in game explanation for why it made the tape work. It's just hilariously obscure. I still feel proud of myself for figuring out the answer, though, however cryptic it was.

T for...violence or something? Really the only graphic thing is that the colossi spurt out some dusty black blood stuff when you stab them in their Large Glowing Weak Spot™. 'Tisn't much.

also it should be rated T for Too Many Feels
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Nitro Indigo on April 13, 2016, 12:18:58 PM
I've seen ESRB T games be both PEGI 12 and 16, though they usually end up as 12s.
Also, most of the PS2 games sold at Cex are tie-in shovelware. Funny story, over a year ago I decided to buy Enter the Dragonfly instead of A Hero's Tail because I assumed that the latter was the instalment everyone hated. Oops.

I haven't played that because I already knew what happened at the end :/

I thought that Turnabout Academy was the best main story case, because it didn't revolve around the 'magical third person' (which I understand is important to the story in the cases involving the phantom because that's the point) and because all the characters balanced each other out, you never felt over-raged at one character, because soon you were talking to a completely different character.

What about your favourite case overall?

Mine has to be Rise from the Ashes for being the long beast it is, but also the development of all the characters and introduction of SL-9

Play the Investigations games if you haven't.

Post by: SlowPokemon on April 14, 2016, 11:32:17 AM
I think that's the first time I've heard anything other than bland indifference about the airlines case.

The only one I loved from the first game was case 5. Game 2 is great from case 3 onward though (not that I didn't like case 1 and 2 of GK2, but they dragged on for way way way too long, especially the second one. GK2 is the only AA game that I speed the text up for when I replay).
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Ōkami~MD on April 14, 2016, 11:44:31 AM
GK2 is probably the most story heavy in how much the cases link together, because all of them are relevant, even the first (this is true for GK1 as well but not important enough really) and of a sizeable length.

I can see why people might think the airlines case is a bit ....meh but I just felt it was where the main story started to pick up. Shame about case 3 though. Lance didn't even LOOK like an AA character to me

I've been playing Pikmin, and I'm not very good at it. I got my first game over, and now have two blue pikmin left.

I've had Enter the Dragonfly for weeks and I still can't bring myself to play it, despite no longer worrying about other people's opinions. I can hear the disc spinning while not playing it, unlike Pikmin, which has caused me to have some silly worry that it's going to burn my Wii's optical drive. The most likely explanation is that it just has more data on it.

(Also, there's a GameCube version of A New Beginning. That game is eight hours long, and I assume it's because most of the PS2's 4.7GB disc space was taken up by FMVs. Is the GameCube version multi-disc or something?)

Quote from: Olimar12345 on May 27, 2016, 09:54:48 PMI am really trying to give Stella glow a chance here, but the battle mechanics are so unappealing. They're suuuper slow and the worst part is that the D-pad is permanently fixed in one manner,  making what would normally be up, right, and essentially shifting the D pad clockwise.
Aw man, I really wanted Stella Glow, it'd be the first "Fire Emblem" style RPG I'd play. It seemed really fun and the demo was really enjoyable.

Just bought Castlevania: Judgement. Really fun game actually! It's very different in that it's a fighting game, but it's pretty cool to play as Simon, Dracula and other Castlevania characters in a fighting game! It's also really fun playing as Maria, lol. She just seem so strong! She got an attack that summons an owl or something which you can use preemptively, so you can summon the owl and then go in with the owl covering you if you get hit. Crazy good, lol!

My head is still spinning from Axiom Verge; it's such an exhausting game, both physically and mentally (or maybe that's just me), though I suppose the good things in life often are!

I'm currently playing Virtue's Last Reward in preparation for Zero Time Dilemma later this month! I'm having such a fun time with it, and I'm trying to do all the escape puzzles without a walkthrough or easy mode. It's way more fun than I would have thought. For Zero Time Dilemma, I'm going to see how far I can get without using a guide.

I was trying to play Professor Layton's London Life, since I've never actually played it to completion. But six hours in, and I hit a glitch. It's got me stuck inside a tile and I can't move from it. And silly me, I saved there. So I'm just accepting that I was never meant to finish London Life and moving on.

Agreed. Some characters are objectively better/worse than others and tiers are meant to help guide that (see also: Sm4sh Bayonetta). Now, that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to play whomever you like; people can do amazing things with whichever character they devote their time to. But it does mean that you're gonna have a really hard time winning against a top-tier character with a bottom-tier character if both players bring their A-game.

Pokémon tiers work a little differently in that they're determined strictly by amount of usage, but better Pokémon are typically used more often anyway so the same principles apply.

that's the point, smogon tiers are based on usage. UU stands for underused (for anyone here that doesn't know)
some mons that perform certain roles better than others or fill certain roles that no other mons can in the meta tends to decide how popular a mon is
like tyranitar is ou because it's the only fast mon that can set up sand with it's ability and pursuit trap at the same time for example
hippowdon can perform as a better defensive wall and still set up sand, which has demand in the ou metagame.
chansey is ou because with eviolite it's more defensive than blissey, which is uu because chansey can do its job better.

I'm sure you have, but just so you don't miss anything: if you beat every escape on hard mode and get all of the gold files, there's a secret ending scene that's RIDICULOUSLY meta. Just telling you so you don't miss it, because it's really easy to miss.

Dragon Quest VIII! Quite awesome so far ^^

but as with all dragon quest games the soundtrack can get cringy. it has beautiful moments but those are quickly juxtaposed with chromatic jerks that just leave a "what the heck?" feeling in me. that and it seems that the overworld only has one background track.

Until Ice Fang froze it. That is the whole reason I put Ice Fang on Stoutland so I'm so glad it saved my butt right when I needed it to.

Downloaded Ocarina of Time 3D. I haven't tried playing Ocarina since it came out for 3DS five years ago (and I got so frustrated with it that I gave it to my little cousin). But I was convinced by my younger brother to give it another shot, and he gave me $10 toward the $20 game so I really couldn't say no.

For some reason, even after so many times trying to play it and not fully understanding the point, I finally understand why everyone loves this game so much. It's downright fun as hell. And it looks magnificent on 3DS. I honestly am looking forward to playing the rest and I've hardly done anything yet--I'm heading for Zora's Domain, but I've actually played about seven hours because I got so hooked on the side quest stuff. (Yay for getting all the bag enlargers and also fuck the bombchu bowling alley.)

I'm enjoying the game (I finished the graveyard shenanigans tonight and will take on the canyon area tomorrow) but seriously the entire ocean quest was tedious and awful from start to finish. I hated it. Still, one bad section doesn't mean the whole game is bad. I'll probably write up a review of this game when I finish it (I'm not quite sure of the game's length, but I can't be too far from the end, can I?).

So um, I decided to finally get Undertale. Hehe. Just did my True Reset for the classic first True Pacifist run (dang you internet spoilers).

IT'S TIME TO KILL EVERYBODYYYY BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

my opinions:
Spoiler
ahem! the game itself is actually a little one-dimensional haha. it's creative and all, but I think what sets it apart is the story and the OST. Otherwise it's not a fantastic game. Maybe it's partially because I spoiled it for myself through all dem youtube videos, but bleugh, I had to do "research" for that Fallen Down cover. which also led me to check out the sans fight and basically all the fights. and the endings. damn you youtube and damn me for poor discipline ahhhhh

Now playing the game for the Undyne and Sans fights, hehe ;)

oh well, at least i have screen records for future undertale releases! um, yeah. staying true to the asian philosophy of taking photos of everything everywhere, i screen-recorded my whole five-hour journey. pm me if you want footage i guess? :p

I discovered this game called "Phoenotopia", a free flash game made on newgrounds about 2 years ago and it's honestly the best flash game I've ever played. The animations are smooth as silk. The puzzles and story are outstanding. Also, I heard that this game can take from 5 to 20 hours depending on if your trying to find all the secrets. This game is really awesome and I think you should try it out!

Minish Cap (GBA)

Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS)

Also I realised that I uh.. don't have much money on me. Also my household has a weird attitude to videogames. If it's not on computer, or emulated for computer, than I can only play it during school holidays. Luckily school holidays are pretty soon, so I should be able to save up enough money to buy at least 1 game.

Post by: mikey on September 11, 2016, 01:35:11 PM
I second the Minish Cap recommendation.  It's probably the easiest zelda game but it's also like a mashup of all the best parts of wind waker, majora's mask, a link to the past, and ocarina of time.
From there you can calibrate your liking of zelda games by playing Twilight Princess, A Link Between Worlds, Wind Waker, or Ocarina of Time, etc.
I'd recommend not playing majora's mask until after beating OoT because the characters mean a lot more when they're parallel versions of Hyrule denizens

Skyward Sword is on VC for 20 bucks, Minish Cap is on VC for 8 but is an easily emulated game, FS can be skipped, OoT is a fantastic investment and is 20 dollars as a digital download.  From there you can decide which timeline split you want to explore first.  Defeated timeline is full of cheap (<$10 USD) downloads, but also has ALBW and TFH that are not as cheap.  It's also the hardest one.  Child timeline is for the realistic gameplay and contains majora's mask and twilight princess, which are both the more "dark" type zelda games.  Then you've got the cel-shaded adult link timeline, which is AWESOME because it has wind waker in it.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Dudeman on September 12, 2016, 06:03:00 PM
I don't know if I can recommend playing in timeline order if you've never touched the series before, simply because that means starting with Skyward Sword, which is pretty unconventional as Zelda games go. I recommend starting with either A Link to the Past (for the 2D titles) or Ocarina of Time/Twilight Princess (for the 3D titles). Don't worry about any timeline stuff unless you really want to get into the lore of the series.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

I wouldn't recommend starting with ocarina of time if you've heard about it.  The game is overhyped and isn't nearly as good as a lot of others in the series
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Dudeman on September 12, 2016, 06:25:31 PM
Yeah, it's overhyped, but I don't think it's mediocre at all. The dungeon design and sense of adventure is second to none. No reason to discount it imo. Plus I like to avoid comparing the 2D games to the 3D games because they have a lot of core differences which prevent fair comparisons.

wind waker's dungeon design overall was better and more consistent.  Ocarina of Time's dungeons were either hits (Forest Temple, Water Temple) or huge misses (Jabu Jabu, Shadow Temple)  Maybe it's just because I like wind waker so much that it feels like a "perfected" ocarina of time to me.  By no means is OoT mediocre.  Only zelda game I'd call mediocre is AoL and maybe like FS or something idk.  Ocarina of Time is probably the most nostalgia-inducing game of all of them, and I think that confuses a lot of fans and makes them rate it better than it actually is.  If he's heard absolutely nothing about OoT, then sure, go for it.  But it can lead to a lot of disappointment when it doesn't live up to the hype (which it won't, I'm willing to bet).

I say start with either Spirit Tracks, Minish Cap or Wind Waker. Those are good starting games. I started with Phantom Hourglass, which is considered to be the worst zelda game for anybody who didn't start with it. I think that starting with Phantom Hourglass makes all the other zelda games 100 times better.

Although I love Spirit Tracks to death, I wouldn't recommend it for a first game 'cause of the touch screen control scheme and how traversing the overworld is on rails (literally). But it is great, and the Tower of Spirits is leagues better than the Temple of the Ocean King could ever dream of being.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

I always find it interesting how Majora's Mask, which is possibly the least Zelda-like Zelda, is often hailed as one of the best games, if not the best game, in the series. Not like it doesn't deserve it, I just find that interesting.

Quote from: JDMEK5 on September 15, 2016, 04:53:57 PMEasily contending for title of best Zelda game.
Everyone says Majora's Mask is the best zelda game. I agree that it's better than OoT, but I didn't really enjoy much of my play-through of it. Most likely because I didn't do much of the side quests (and because my opinion on zelda is "contaminated" because I think PH is a great zelda game), I felt like it had too much that it scared me away. If I ever do get to doing all of the side quests, I don't think that'll change my view because I'm sick of looking at OoT/MM graphics.

It's cuz it's so real. It's like "anti-Yoshi's-Story". It dives right into the deeper darker aspects of life and I love it for that. And so do millions of others.

I'm sorry you spent so much time looking at the graphics. These games weren't about the graphics ever at all. The technical limitations were too great. Today graphics are all the rage cuz we can make new advances in it but back then it wasn't graphics that made or broke a game (for the most part).

Also, I'm going to take this moment again (yes, again) to tell everyone here who has played the game but not read about it to watch the game theory videos on it cuz my appreciation for it shot like a soviet missile after that.

I only dislike the graphics (of both the N64 and 3DS versions) because it's too "dark" for my tastes. I enjoy more cartoon-ish and bright graphics. Although Majora's mask fits the dark graphics perfectly, OoT doesn't imo which is why I was tired of it. On the positive side, Majora's Mask had great dungeons and difficulty, I really like how the game actually got me to look up what to do.

I kind of agree. I don't like Link's new animations (compared to the originals, they look goofy and clumsier imo) and some other sprites were changed to look like things that I didn't see in my original playings but eh, overall, yes they did a good job. I am particularly impressed with the refining of the controls.

Well, to each their own taste I guess. Currently I'm engaged in the world of Assassin's Creed which is much darker than any Zelda game but eh. I like that kind of thing. A lot.

To be fair I did most of the game without a walkthrough and only using the Sheikah Stone twice (after trying a long time and failing to figure out what to do, in both cases it turned out to be a fairly simple solution). It was only when I was getting tired of the game, around the end of the Stone Tower Temple, that I started looking up what to do.

Also, I'm a bit over halfway into the new Ace Attorney game. It's really good, but the third episode that I just finished was way too long.

I definitely have been enjoying Majora's Mask. I like how THERE IS ACTUALLY THINGS HAPPENING IN THE OVERWORLD. Also aside from exploring dungeons there is a ton of stuff to do. My only problem so far with Majora's Mask is the start is confusing as hell.

Meanwhile I'm also playing through Okami, SSBB, The Legend of Zelda, TLOZ Skyward Sword, TLOZ Twilight Princess, Metroid Other M, and Guitar Hero III on expert.

Shadow Dragon was kinda convoluted and weird with the whole reclassing thing, ahaha. Didn't think it was a fantastic game, though the Hard 5 difficulty was quite interesting xD

Sacred Stones...yeah. Not a bad game, just easy :p

Honestly, Shadow Dragon is easily the worst game to get a western release, with the possible exception of Fates. Don't judge the series off of that.

Sacred Stones is pretty dang good, probably my 2nd favorite in the series, but, yeah. It's pretty easy.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Nebbles on September 18, 2016, 10:41:00 AM
Sacred Stones is easy, but I love that game to pieces because of the characters and story. Shadow Dragon... I haven't played it yet, but a friend is giving me a copy for free, so I'll test it out.

Also nice! Fe7 is my favorite of all time - I did a Eliwood hard mode run last time, hence why I'm gonna do HHM once I  play it again.

^This. It was my first game (From the ambassador program as well), and it's a great introductory point in the series. There's not any really bad characters, so you don't need to worry about leveling up the wrong characters and screwing up you game long term. And, if it's getting too hard, you can grind, but it's not that annoying to do so, compared to, say Awakening.

Heh-heh. I actually trashed her in my Normal Mode playthroughs, but then I opened my eyes this time and saw that she was a level 5 mage with 7/8/11 offenses. Which was about how good my Erk was at level 12-ish, except with less speed. And when she grew about two levels I knew I had a demigod in my hands. Nino almost maxed out everything but defense by level 20, I got the guiding ring from the secret shop at chapter 29, and she went on to deal the finishing blow off Nergal. As well as a solo room-clear for most of the Light rooms. Dang.

I think FE7's final chapter is truly "beautifully" designed. It truly feels like a final boss fight when they throw at you unfair unit after unfair unit, and then the ultimate boss sits on his throne to duel you, but that's not even the ultimate boss yet! Hoooly crud. And then you add in the FE morality and ethics themes (Nino killing her brothers' morphs, ahh<3) and you have a masterpiece.

Minish cap rolling yeah! :D

I'm currently doing Link to the Past and FE6 concurrently haha. Link to the Past...doesn't really float my boat as of now. The controls are okay-ish (creative as heck though!) but the story is kinda convoluted - the classic JRPG "here's a sword, go conquer the world" style that leaves you with a hanging "wtf do i do now" feeling if you've played too many 21st century games that walk you through tutorials like a baby. FE6 is kinda similar. :p

Minish cap was my entry to the series though haha, so I'm kinda basing everything off it. It's a great game with a fantastic soundtrack and lots of cute people! Hehe.

It's ok cashwarrior. I enjoyed Phantom Hourglass as well. It's a lot better than some Zelda games that came before it. Zelda II, Oracle of Seasons, Ocarina of Time. It's also better than some games that came after it. Triforce Heroes.


Some of the mechanics of Phantom Hourglass were annoying and the Temple of the Ocean King was a bit of a drag but despite all of that, the adventure in the game is phenomenal.

I'm amazed I spelled phenomenal correctly on my first try.

Kubo was nice to look at, emotional, and the last shot gave me feels, but Finding Dory was more exciting, in my humble opinion. Once again, we need a thread for this.

Back on-topic, I haven't actually played a video game in ages. I got lost in the Great Boogly Tree in The Thousand-Year Door, the last game I played on my own.

Post by: Trainer Ave on September 27, 2016, 05:03:17 PM
Dude Oracle of Ages was a million times better than Oracle of Seasons. Despite what people say about Spirit Tracks (most of whom have never played it) it's a great Zelda game. Ocarina of Time is enjoyable but only the first time you play it. Zelda II is trash for a Zelda game. Minish Cap is amazing. Majora's Mask is amazing. Link to the Past and Link Between Worlds are phenomenal. Skyward Sword is amazing. Twilight Princess is mediocre at best. Majora's Mask is wonderful. Triforce Heroes is a piece of crap. I've never played Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, or the Wind Waker. Phantom Hourglass was really fun to play.




There we go. I think I've given my opinion on every Zelda game except Breath of the Wild
and the CDi games because fuck that shit.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Olimar12345 on September 27, 2016, 05:26:01 PM
To be fair, most people who say Zelda II sucks are either the ones who haven't put the time in and actually give it an honest try or the ones who say "but it doesn't look/work like any other Zelda game!" I.e. not taking in to consideration that this was THE second Zelda game ever made; franchise norms had not been established.

...this is what I would say to someone normally, but further down your post you praise SS and shit on TP, so who cares what you think xD

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: cashwarrior1 on September 27, 2016, 05:43:52 PM
My opinion on all zelda games I've experienced:
Link's Awakening is very fun and enjoyable but is kinda short.
Ocarina of Time is mediocre.
Majora's Mask isn't for me (I don't enjoy much of the side-quests).
Oracle of Seasons is very fun and has many awesome references to the first Zelda.
Oracle of Ages is very hard and has the best dungeons/bosses.
Wind Waker has a lot to offer.
Twilight Princess seems only to offer in the main adventure.
Phantom Hourglass is a great first Zelda game and has unique ideas.
Spirit Tracks executes everything greatly, but has too much for little reward.
Four Swords Anniversary edition is really fun!
A Link Between Worlds is great for the first play-through.
Triforce Heroes is really fun in Single Player.

Post by: mikey on September 27, 2016, 06:09:18 PM
First zelda is good.  Second zelda is first zelda on pot meth and steroids .  a link to the past is one of the best snes games ever and has aged incredibly well.  Links awakening is better in color but it has a great story and it's one of my favorites.  Oracle games are pretty good, but I think their only improvement is graphics, otherwise LA is just better.  Ocarina is solid, but overhyped.  Also ages pretty well for a 3D game.  Majoras Mask is unique and also one of my favorites.  Minish cap is the quintessential zelda game and has a lot in common with different games while still having imo some of the strongest gameplay.  One of my favorites.  Wind Waker is beyond words.  My favorite.  Twilight princess is for the OoT fans.  The exploration was good but otherwise the game is boring.  Phantom hourglass and spirit tracks have unique controls that I think work really well.  I loved drawing notes on my map and it allowed for fun gameplay with items, although sometimes frustrating.  Skyward Sword is a must play and a lot of the New era of zelda will be based off this one.  One of my favorites.  Link between world's is cool, and is a good callback to one of the best.  TFH is different, but still feels like a zelda game and for that reason I enjoy it.

Ok so I just realized I forgot a couple games.
The original Zelda is freaking AMAZING. I absolutely LOVE Link's Awakening



@Olimar I said TP was mediocre not bad. It's a decent game but not a great one. As for Zelda II I stated that it is trash for a Zelda game. I feel like the mechanics of Zelda II do not fit within the overall series. If I were to play Zelda II without the pretense of it being a Zelda game, I would say it was a pretty good game. However it is a far cry from the original Zelda and Link to the Past. Also on skyward sword. I love that game so far. The gameplay is enjoyable, the soundtrack is wonderful and the idea of living in the sky......well that's just awesome.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on September 27, 2016, 07:51:02 PM
I don't even think Ocarina of Time is overhyped. It's just great. I loved Majora's Mask but I feel like it's almost too cryptic and tedious to be really enjoyable for me or anything that I'd play twice. I did feel really rewarded at the end, but not as much as I felt I was entitled to.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Dudeman on September 27, 2016, 09:47:14 PM
O boy it's time for my zelda opinions too yay

The original is iconic and amazing but I'm too much of a scrub to get past Level 5 with an actual NES controller (those things are clunky yo) so I haven't beaten it.
A Link to the Past is everything 2D Zeldas should aspire to be and is great and adventurous and the GBA version was possibly my first Zelda game so I might be a little biased but it's seriously good.
Ocarina of Time is overhyped a bit, but it feels adventurous, the story is pretty good, and most of the puzzles and dungeons are well-designed. Overworld's shit, though.
Oracle of Seasons was also possibly my first Zelda game so again I'm biased. I have way more memories of it than Ages, which I bought over a decade later. The focus on combat and power definitely makes it on the easy side (which my child self loved), but I've always loved the aesthetic and the music and Subrosia (it's lit, yo) and the story and gaaaaaaah nostalgia.
Ages has a better story, puzzle design, and dungeon design, but I have way fewer memories of it so I wouldn't be able to do it much justice.
Wind Waker is just...it's just great, you guys. It's so good. It's so great. It's full of adventure and charm and spunk and a great story (Ganondorf with a personal backstory is just so much better) and it's just...go play it if you haven't, please. So good.
Minish Cap...I don't know what it is about it. It's good, not bad by any means, but it just doesn't feel like it fits with the rest of the Zelda series. Maybe if I had played it earlier in my life, I wouldn't feel this way that much, but...something just doesn't mesh. Is it the amount of new races and locations? Is it the artstyle? Is it the selection of items? Dungeon design? I have no idea, I just know it feels slightly out of place.
Twilight Princess is my favorite game because I'm a wuss and I like easy games (shrug), but the characters are just so good. Everybody is unique. Everybody has charm. The dungeon design is also really great and I really like the story (minus "lol Zant's a wuss it's all Ganon", that could have been done way better) and Midna's the best partner ever.
Spirit Tracks has a lot of charm like Wind Waker, but it also feels smaller, cozier, and more...I don't know, cute? It's a good time. Puzzles are good, characters are good (Cole is one of my favorite Zelda villains and Byrne is the badassiest badass in Zelda history), story is charming, it's not epic but it's fun.
I thought Skyward Sword was great. Yes, the sky is shit and the game's linear as all hell, but the controls worked great for me, Link and Zelda are just adorable oh my gosh, the world was bright and expressive, and I just had a lot of fun. Also Ghirahim is hands-down my favorite villain and I loved every minute of his antics.

That's it, me done

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

Skyward Sword may have been linear but it handled it in such a wag that made it still feel like you were on an adventure. With ocarina they just told you what you were going to do and you did it
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: mikey on September 27, 2016, 11:04:31 PM
Skyward sword's linearity came from an emotional desire to move through the game and not necessarily "you have to go do this now".  Plus it didn't have a fairy reminding you to go do stuff 24/7

Seriously though, Fi is waaaaay worse than navi. Sure, navi might interrupt you with short messages to keep you on track, but Fi would talk for unnecessarily long amounts of time about literally nothing. "Master: hold the joystick in a forward-direction to move forward. You will find that this action can be quite useful in all endeavors" Good god Fi, are we THAT dumb?

Haha meanwhile I'm stuck at Chapter 14 in FE6. Nebbles told me to expect a chapter worse than Battle Before Dawn, but this - holy crud, how even. So painful.

Also I previously decided to play the game blind and not check a character guide, and I just broke that pact. I regret everything ;_;



Meanwhile I'm playing Explorers of Sky, and it's just so cute, argh. I pretty much laughed out loud when I saw Wigglytuff start to build her rage and everyone just stared at me.

Man, while the final boss was a bit of a letdown, the ending and the story were not.

Also, my 3DS (with my data transfer) says I have played it for 1616.8 hours since 2011. That's 67.4 days.

Which, by the way, seemed to be part of Toby Fox's inspiration for Undertale. He even worked on some Earthbound ROM hacks in high school. I always thought they looked similar.

-Prepping for Toy Day in Animal Crossing: New Leaf (anyone who's friends with me on Snapchat saw the cute Santa outfit I've got my little guy in)
-Completing the Pokédex in Pokémon Moon (all I need left is Cosmoem and Honchkrow, both of which are in my grasp as soon as Cosmog finishes EV training in Poké Pelago and I get a better Murkrow)
-Playing EarthBound on my 3DS (I've gotten as far as the desert city before but I'm more motivated to play JRPGs when they're on handhelds, and I've always been really keen on making it to the end of this one)

I also picked up The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and, soon, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with the My Nintendo discounts that are up for them. Now that Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask have convinced me I can play Zelda games, I'm interested to understand the hype behind those two and don't know much about them. Should be a fun post-EarthBound project.

ALttP is very, very difficult, but the game is pretty open ended and you'll have a lot of fun just exploring
Skyward Sword has a super cute story, and it looks like it's the biggest influence on Breath of the Wild

I really don't think ALttP is as hard as you're making it out to be. Like, sure, the dungeons can be confusing on a first playthrough, but I never found combat or progression a struggle. If anything, I'd say the original is harder, in terms of the 2D top-down titles.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: Dudeman on December 20, 2016, 12:34:16 PM
In the original, maybe. You make a swiping motion in ALttP, which means your hitbox covers the quarter-circle space from Link's right to in front of him. You also swing quickly, meaning you can spam the attack button and keep your front covered from most attacks. The problem is turning to face enemies in the first place, which is only a problem sometimes.

I'm stuck on all the "Secret" levels, mainly because my GameCube controller keeps messing with the joystick. If I leave Mario alone, he will start walking to the left on his own. That is what makes beating "Secret of the Village Underside" impossible.

Do you have the generic GameCube controller? I ate through 2 "GameCube" controllers in less than 6 months. They were the crappy generic ones. I finally got the real GameCube controller and I've had it for almost two years. It's still as good as the day I got it.

that sounds like a user error to me, seabass.  We've had all 5 of our gamecube controllers since we first got them and they still work perfectly.

Generally a Control Stick issue is from the Control Stick being gummy and angling in that direction before the gamecube is turned on

I'm not 100% sure, but I bet you could find a gamecube controller cleaning kit similar to an NES controller cleaning kit that gives you the stuff you need.
You'd almost certainly have to take it apart to get a complete clean on it though

edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV4HeWmtZws
google

edit2: at 3:08 you can see him pull out the control stick and there's a lot of dirt and junk on it.  Using a safe sanitizer on that to clean it all up then waiting for it to dry might help.  Make sure you don't use anything heavy duty, because we were fixing a gamecube and the cleaner we used corroded the paint on the open button and got it stuck, causing the top of the gamecube to not stay closed.

It depends. By the generic brand, I don't mean Nintendo. I'm referring to the crappy ones you can get off of Amazon or your local video game store (they are usually the ones you get that are brand new).
Examples:
https://www.amazon.com/Generic-GameCube-Controller-Nintendo-Pack/dp/B01KY1M264/ref=sr_1_13?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1482622562&sr=1-13&keywords=gamecube+controller

These are GameCube/Wii compatible, not the official Nintendo brand.

Nope.
I'm not referring to the original GameCube controllers, but rather the cheap, generic, controllers that are compatible with GameCubes/Wiis. See the examples above. I got two of these generic brands in the past and they both broke within a couple months. The joysticks wore out etc. I had the same issue as Levi here.
After that I got the original Nintendo-made GameCube controller and I've had that ever since.

Quote from: LeviR.star on December 24, 2016, 01:25:27 PMHow do I make it not gummy?
First things first. Is it gummy? The problem that you described sounds like the problem I had, which is why I brought up the controller quality. It could also be loose.
Gently shake the controller. If it's loose, the joystick should rotate or shake back and forth along with the controller. If it's gummy, the joystick should stay stationary while you shake the controller. 

If you do in fact have the original Nintendo controller, ignore everything I said xD

Haven't played The Neverhood, but Armikrog is fairly standard for a point-and-click adventure, though in terms of length it's more comparable to Machinarium, I'd say (or maybe just a little shorter? It's been a while since I played Machinarium). There are a few puzzles that are really tedious, and none that are astoundingly difficult (perhaps one or two where you'll really feel like using a guide), but it's enjoyable. Partway through the second part of the game, there's a massive exposition text dump (though not necessary and entirely skippable, it's worthwhile, IMO), so be prepared for that.

For TIS-100, you can figure it out without much programming experience (they have a manual). If you understand what an assembly language instruction is, that's just about enough to jump in. Not that I expect many people here to consider this post.

It's mostly the controls. I've played other first person and third person shooters before but the controls in Splatoon were really offputting for me. It was a long time ago that I played it so I don't exactly remember what was wrong, but I do remember in particular having a hell of a hard time trying to control the camera, no matter how I adjusted the settings.

On top of that, I just didn't find it that interesting compared to other games. After trying it out for a few hours, both in the campaign mode and playing with my brother, I quickly felt like I really didn't want to keep playing because there wasn't anything that compelled me to keep playing.

Most of my Christmas presents are GameCube games, and now I can't even play them!!

D: I know how you feel (sorta); back when I first played through SMG2, I was doing the speed run of that weird artsy Galaxy with the silver Chomp. I always would over-tilt the Wiimote, causing Mario to go some other way. It really aggravated me, because I couldn't skip it (I was 10%ing the game). I know this is only indirectly similar, though.

The extra level you get from collecting all the black coins in the game is a BITCH and it took me the better part of two hours. Overall a really great game, and I'm sad it's over. It's absolutely worth your $10 if you're a Mario fan.

I've never had the chance to play 8 but 7 is pretty great. It's a bit difficult to get used to at first due to the new scale but I love the bosses, soundtrack, and stage design (mostly; Spring Man's stage can go screw itself). Them final stages can be stupidly difficult, though.

Everything is against me playing 7. From what I have played (up to Wily Stage 1), it hasn't presented itself as "fun".

I haven't played 8 either, but my sister has, and she says that it's more fun than 7, and the only really difficult part is jump jump slide slide.

SUSANO-STYLE SUSANO IMPLODING EXPLOSION

Because of vacation I have time to actually play video games. I'm switching around a lot to try out all the game I got for Christmas, ones that I've been enjoying have been Tri Force Heroes and Captain Toad. I'll likely also pick up some Steam games while they're at ridiculous prices. I also sorta got back into Okami (again?) which I'll likely play one school starts again and the stream of free time slows to a trickle.

Mega Man 2 used to be easy (I have beaten it at least 15 times), but now that the cursed controller is making attempts at my life, the 3 Item 1s section in Wily Stage 1 is impossible. It's also weird that the jump button is B instead of A, and A for fire.

Yeah, there's a special level for each color coin when you collect all of them, and they're pretty tricky (like I wrote above, getting all of the black coins in the bonus level you get from collecting the original 120 black coins took me almost two hours). But I want My Nintendo points.

Double post(?):

Has anyone here played/heard of Super Monkey Ball Adventure? I used to play it a TON as a kid; I loved it! But something happened at some point, and I lost it. I kinda forgot about it until this year, when I started cataloging my video games and got a massive dose of nostalgia doing so. Then I remembered it and discovered it had been lost. I got another one this Christmas & started playing it just now. Why did I enjoy it so much as a kid??? There's not much of a storyline (despite the game's introduction LITERALLY SHOWING A STORY BOOK. It's confusing to navigate the island you're on, too, which makes missions you need to complete for various residents (think: Sonic & the Black Knight) 10x harder and more tedious than they should be. Also, the way the actual levels (from the normal SMB series) are integrated into the game is extremely faulty & broken, and the pace of the game can be manipulated rather easily through this.
I'm still wondering how I enjoyed it so much as a little kid. :/

Post by: Lkjhgfdsa_77 on January 06, 2017, 07:15:12 PM
oh yay we're talking about zelda again

I'm just going to dump my opinions of Twilight Princess at the moment here because I have an excuse to, note that I played the game a while back so some details may have been muddied by time.

Twilight Princess probably had one of the most drawn out beginnings to any Zelda game to date, it may have been Nintendo's attempt at creating a more detailed plotline (but if I remember the Ilia subplot doesn't reappear until after the second dungeon). I played the game a while back and after a trying to play it again all I could think about was how depressing the intro is, being that the entirety of the village's children are kidnapped. I don't remember much about the dungeon design, but I am able to remember the Water Lakebed Temple in the first half. I liked how there was a central mechanic (releasing water into the central room) which affected the entire dungeon.
Talking about late game (or enough to be spoiling)
[spidermidna]
While I felt that the Midna-is-brutally-injured-by-Zant-by-surprise-because-you-decided-to-rebuild-a-dangerous-artifact-that-was-literally-sealed-away-by-the-goddesses-because-of-said-danger felt sudden and I felt that a bit of player interaction (i.e. warping the player to the outside of the temple and nudging them to go to the spring) could have made it not so... in your face (or mask if you're Zant). I also liked exploring the original wolf Link section again to build up to the second encounter with Zelda. The overworld gets extremely large once all of the main areas are unlocked, and by the time you get the horse call it's completely obsolete because of the teleportation mechanic. I really don't like how Gerudo Desert is implemented, it always seemed odd that was inconveniently separated from literally every other traversable land mass in Hyrule and I thought that something similar to the broken bridge from Ocarina of Time would have been better. I know that Twilight Princess was originally a GameCube game and it likely would have been done for loading reasons, but I didn't like how they segmented Hyrule Field. It makes the overworld feel like a series of rooms instead of an open space. (this seems to be a trend in other 3D Zelda games, and to me it seems a bit unnatural to have only one space ~20ft(6m) wide to get from one highly populated area (or as populated as they get in Zelda, Skyloft probably has like 30 people tops, makes you wonder how they reproduce) to a main hub of transportation.) I don't remember any real defining features of the areas of Hyrule Field, so they all feel the same and kind of bland. I really liked the way that Snowpeak Ruins was executed, I liked how the dungeon seemed more alive and not the classic abandoned. I would like to see more dungeons like that in future Zeldas. I also liked the Temple of Time in terms of design; although very linear, I liked the "retrieval" aspect of bringing the second statue down from the top of the temple down the path which you came. However, I missed the big key; it could've been me but I felt like they could have pointed the player towards it more. I found the Zant battle to be one of the best in the game, and I thought it was fun to redo the earlier boss battles from the game.

It really depends on the game for me; it took me a while to beat Super Mario Galaxy when I was younger, but it's still my favorite game ever. While Kirby: Planet Robobot is a great installment to the series, it was made too easy. But it was still fun.

In general, if I don't get at least one hour from every dollar I spend on a game, I feel a bit let down. However, there are huge exceptions to this rule--my 27-ish hours with Majora's Mask was well worth the $40 I spent on it, and some smaller games like Level-5's Attack of the Friday Monsters, which came out to $8 for ~2.5 houra, can still give really excellent experiences. In general though, I like it to add up to at least $1 per hour of gameplay I get.

The only games I've ever 100% completed are Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, in that order, and the only one I felt satisfied with was Kirby's Dream Land 3, for reasons I'll explain in a review I'm scripting.

For 100%ing Mega Man games, I beat the game regularly (on both difficulty modes, if there are two), beat it again without using special weapons when I don't need to, beat it another time using only special weapons (except for the first stage and a few other parts), beat it without dying, and, the ultimate challenge, beat it without taking damage. And don't even get me started on Mega Man 9 & 10's challenges...
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: WaluigiTime64 on January 21, 2017, 03:19:16 AM
Wow. That's a lot of work. I mean, I just play Mega Man games very casually (as in, I'll just randomly open it up and play for fun). I never try for any of those unless I feel like adding a challenge for lols.

That's always fun. Weapon energy conservation is an issue in some games though.

Anyway, today I played a bit of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Kirby's Dream Land 3. I keep getting lost in the former, which is something that doesn't happen in more recent games I play, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

"Mouse Attack" is so matter-of-fact that it's really quite a boring name. There's nothing gripping, charming, or exciting about it. It sounds like a game where Kirby has a mouse problem in his house and needs to get rid of them through wacky puzzles.

My file is 100% complete, with all helpers victorious in Helper to Hero, and both Arenas done with no healing and no abilities (even Computer Virus). I'm now going for no-damage runs; I got close on my first try with Plasma today; I took minor damage twice during Computer Virus while guarding, but other than that, the run is perfect so far.

Having only watched RoahmMythril's play-throughs of both games, I can safely agree. Rock Force takes risks and includes mechanics that truly make it stand out. Unlimited is...just another (fairly difficult) Mega Man fan-game. With a fanservice-y ending that not only feels forced but also is unnecessarily edgy.

I liked how Unlimited used the mm1-2 and 9-10 sound effects, because that's unique to the fan games, and they're better-sounding.

seriously this is the most frustrating and nightmarishly tedious game I've ever played

I had to stop halfway through the spooky Egypt temple because if I played for one more minute I was going to pop a blood vessel how does ANYONE find this game fun??? I figure I'm 2/3 of the way through so I'll probably try to power through the rest just to see if I like it by the end/so I can legitimately say I played the whole thing, but oh man this is frustrating me to tears hahaha

Playing Heroes Chronicles: Clash of the Dragons right now, for the first time. "Dragons of Rust" is such a brilliant scenario because it pits you against seemingly insurmountable odds, and the best solution is pretty much to bum rush your opponents so you can get access to the same resources they use against you (the titular Rust Dragons). The way the map is designed (giving you somewhat restricted access to Green Dragons, which are nowhere near as good as Rust Dragons) might suggest to the player that they have to spend a little bit of time building their own force of dragons before going on the offensive, but the game literally tells you that you should attack before your enemy builds up their army of Rust Dragons.

When I have time, I've been playing NieR.
NieR is a strange game that doesn't want to change anyone's opinion of it. The game ends with a big reveal literally 5 minutes before the final boss, and not much happens after you beat him. After the credits, you're told that playing again will unlock a character's story. If you're done with the game, and want to move on, you won't play it. But, if you do, you'll experience the best the game has to offer. It puts you through the 2nd half of the game with the same enemy placements, health, and damage. But it adds around 50% more cutscenes and 3 text adventure segments that add so much to the game. You notice all the little details that pointed towards the reveal, and a few random lines that didn't make sense do now that you can understand the other person talking. It ends up turning every boss fight into a Xion-style boss fight. And then there's a new game ++ that changes even more which I'm about to start. Back to my first point: NieR doesn't want to change your opinion. If you didn't like the game, you won't play new game + and discover the best parts. But if you did like the game, you will, and will like it even more.

I beat Mega Man IV (GB). It was fun, except for the part where I had to redo all of the Wily Stages after game-overing to the final boss in an "E-Tanks can't save you" scenario.

The game felt quite gimmicky to be honest. Sometimes it was alright, other times it was eh.

I really like the images in the stage select though. That should've been in more games (although NES and GameBoy limitations are very different).

Mercury is the lamest Stardroid out of all of them. Also, while the game did include a lot of content, it was the laggiest of the 5. That factor made the game a little less enjoyable.

This is by far the most pitiable siege defenses I have ever won. The enemy hero came in with NO spell points and NO ballistics (catapult) skills whatsoever, which somehow lead to me being able to wear him down with the army that I just barely scraped together, even when they had (what should have been) a far superior force. Even after the walls had been broken down, the AI pretty much just sat its units on the moat because my cannon fodder was standing in the way. They actually fled when they had like 2 Earth Elementals left because they couldn't take the shame of having lost a battle like that. Apparently.

And, I survived with 8 Storm Elementals and 1 Psychic Elemental, which will probably be just enough to hold off the next siege...

So I just played around 3-3.5 hours straight of BoTW.
Impressions so far:
It's good, but not incredible. However, going by what people have said, I'm about 5% into the game, so my ideas aren't incredibly accurate.
Anyway, it's an incredibly relaxing game, but not really a tight, level design driven Zelda game like the rest of the series. Whether that is good or bad is up to you, and will be the cause of just about all mixed feelings it causes. I'm also disappointed by the music so far, or lack thereof. When it's there, it's great. It's just not there that often, and that's what annoys me. There's also a killer remix of something that sounds like

Also I heard that Breath of the Wild is questionable for the first five hours or so, and that once you get into the groove of things it's a blast.

The wolf link amiibo also rules out adult timeline, since it has to take place at the same time as twilight princess in another timeline

I will now be gathering my thoughts as to what the story behind Zenge is. Having gone through the pictures several times, things are starting to come together. Somewhat. There are still several unanswered questions, so expect my thoughts to be quick and in no particular order. Also, spoilers have been provided for anyone who wants to experience the story firsthand with no idea what to expect.

Spoiler
So we start with Eon. Based on the app's description, Eon is a lonely traveller, stuck between time & space. We see him next to this gate, which plays a central point throughout the game. The gate appears to be inactive, as Eon is walking away from it, yet by the looks of it, the gate needs three different powers (represented by symbols), and Eon, presumably wanting to activate the gate, is walking somewhere in search of the three powers. He walks to a chasm formation (but if he's stuck between time and space, how is he able to interact with a world?) and there is a ladder. He presumably ascends the ladder and somehow reaches a moon. Upon reaching the moon, things resembling Tetrominoes appear (these are important for later, I guess?), and he climbs onto the pieces as they start flying through space (again, stuck BETWEEN time & space). Eventually, they congeal, forming a sort of primitive ship. The ship nears a star (this, too is important), and upon contacting the star, the star's outer layer opens up, revealing the core. Eon floats out (on some platform?) above the core, and jumps. Suddenly, he appears in this empty area, with two white doors and three stars floating above the doors. The doors open, revealing some sort of crystal (another integral part of the story). Eon approaches the crystal, and somehow attaches a string to it, and he proceeds to draw it out of its holding place, and he starts walking it back to the gate. Going past the gate, he continues his journey to a tower in the midst of a desert-type landscape. Barren. Meanwhile, as he is walking to the tower, another character is shown. This character is very similar to Eon with one glaring difference: this character is made of flames. The flaming character observes Eon's journey from a distance (This character is highly important). Eon continues to the tower, with the crystal, and he walks inside. He ascends to the top of the staircase, to the top of the tower, where he places the crystal. The top part of the tower begins rising above the rest of the tower, floating in the air. A portal forms, and a path reaching out to it from the tower also materialises. Eon begins crossing the bridge, and approaches the portal. As he walks inside the portal, the flaming character reaches the top of the tower & stands next to the crystal. As Eon fades from sight, they reach for the crystal and take it, walking back to the gate. Eon goes through the portal, in which he gains one of the 3 powers needed to activate the gate. Back at the gate, the flaming character uses the crystal's power to project Eon's location onto the gate. It shows him in a frozen wasteland. Back to Eon, he gets on a small iceberg and floats across a river, in which a giant ice cephalopod lives. This thing is massive, and watches the iceberg float down the river. Eventually he reaches an ice shelf, and the cephalopod follows him under the water. He nears an icy castle floating above the river, and the cephalopod attacks, conveniently launching Eon into the castle. He walks inside, seeing a long hall with a chest at the end. The 2nd power. This power, the power of teleportation, warps him to a place that appears to be interdimensional. There, the two powers appear & combine, mirror and teleportation, and teleport him to the mirror of where he just was: to the desert. He's on a path to this strange, green, spiky planet in the middle of the desert, and once on the surface, he walks to a shaft that is connected to an elevator. He rides the elevator down to the bottom, and he reaches a pool. He jumps into the pool and finds the 3rd power. The power of rotation. It rotates the pool, and he swims up to another place. In the middle of a labyrinth. After wandering the labyrinth, he gets stuck in an room-like dead end. A little sprite(?) appears and helps him, projecting a hole through all the walls directly to some stairs just outside the labyrinth. The sprite/tiny character made of light walks with him to the stairs, and after seeing him off, Eon begins going down the winding staircase. When he reaches the bottom, a 4th power erupts from the ground. The power of dilation. Everything around is red. Dark. Foreboding. Eon boards a train of some sort (again, stuck between time and space, so how does this work? Does the train move by itself?), and it carries him a far distance. When he reaches the other end of the tracks, he gets off, and walks to a hole in the wall. Going outside, he's on a mountain, and hovering above the mountain are three rhombi, connected in some sort of formation. Eon reaches the top of the mountain and waves his hands at the formation, and he's transported to a stranger place. There are three tall islands, all connected by rope bridges, with water & grass & such (it looks really cool, actually), and he crosses to the end of the island chain. There, the three symbols that were above the gate are hovering, and Eon releases the three powers. The symbols glow, and he is teleported back to the gate. The gate activates, and on the other side is a hand-drawn world, with the flaming character and a hand-drawn Eon. Eon climbs through, and the hand-drawn Eon disappears. The flaming character and Eon start walking over to a cloud, and they swing on swings hanging from the clouds. After this, while the flaming character is becoming increasingly smaller, the flaming character summons Tetromino-like objects from the ground very similar to those mentioned at the beginning of the story. Eventually, the flaming character basically disappears, and Eon gets on these Tetrominoes, and starts flying again. Suddenly, they start changing shapes: circles, spheres, then boxes, and as he's flying, the screen gradually grows darker. We see the flaming character, still watching Eon (but I thought he disappeared? So who was the flaming character Eon was with?), looking into the gate while it grows dimmer and dimmer, and realising that the crystal's power is fading, he takes the crystal & become a fireball, and flies into space. He begins to fade, and becomes a star with the crystal. As soon as this happens, Eon is thrown out of the gate and the gate deactivates, and he sets off again, on this journey.

A causal loop, in some weird, twisted sense. Eon clearly wants to go into the gate, but what is there? His way back home? There are other questions I asked throughout the story, but the one burning question, the one that would bring light to this whole story: who is the flaming character? Is there more than one? (One in the gate and one outside? Does the flaming character leave the gate and continue watching until the crystal gives out?) If I can figure out the flaming character, everything else should (for the most part) fall into place.

Thoughts? I realise this was neither quick nor out-of-order, but I really want to figure out the answers to the last questions I asked in the spoiler.

Also Ghost Trick is really good guys. The story and mechanics and characters and just everything is so good!

Lynne is like my favorite character in the game, I love how she just stops caring about dying. I just wish her hair wasn't so weird so I could successfully cosplay her.

Quote from: Hero of Trains on March 21, 2017, 07:01:42 PMOh, I just started Chrono Trigger on the DS for the first time! I like how you actually have consequences for your actions, but I also wish someone could have told me that ahead of time. :/

not spoilering because chrono trigger

If you're talking about stealing that random person's food just because you had itchy fingers, then yes. xD A heads-up would have been nice. Better still, a proper pop-up:

"Would you like to take his food?
> Yes
No"

Eh, I think you end up in jail either way xD

It's not even the actual in game punishment, more that it made me feel bad about my own actions because like I stole that guy's food probably literally 100 times because I wanted all the prizes from that mini game tent. I was really bad at the mini games.

Quote from: daj on March 21, 2017, 01:54:04 AMWelp, tried going back to Chrono Trigger and failed xD

I stopped playing just before the Black Omen appeared, so um...somehow all the enemies out there are killing me instantly now? Plus, the mechanics are actually kind tricky, with the whole active timer thing going on. Yeeaaahh.

Probably going to restart, ahaha

A little less than 72 hours on, aaaand well, I finished the game! :D Turns out the active timer was a terrible decision, and the game is actually possible when you turn that thing off.

(proceeds to do one of those millenials' rambles about how the old stuff was actually good and i couldn't appreciate it at first and now i love oldies and am officially a hippie or some shit idk)

Spoiler
Ahh, but that last battle though. Such a beautiful fight. Just ooone tiny ramble here k :p

Won't spoil it for you, Trains, but I might as well put this out there - it is really quite difficult, yet extremely beautiful. Yep, I called a boss fight beautiful. <3 I thought my team and gear was overlevelled/overpowered, but nope. Kept me on my toes for a whole half an hour (well, most of it). And the atmosphere, the exchanges and all - beautiful. The major plot points all tied in nicely in that one fight, and it was the perfect way to end a game. Love it.

And then there's the music - dang, I finally appreciate what makes it so charming, and I have the context to go learn from it now. Yayy~

Don't do that to yourself. FFVI has such a similar battle system​ you will experience burnout. Not to mention that FFVI has random encounters and a heck of a lot of things that just don't work as well as CT. Oh, and it's at least twice as long. Don't get me wrong, you should play it. Just play a few other things first.

1 - Glitches
2 - Sprite Flicker
3 - Lag
4 - Difficulty

Play through Armored Armadillo's stage as normal, taking great care to not take any damage. Jump off the final minecart a little after the peak of its arc and wall jump up to the alcove above the boss door. Provided you still have full health and your subtanks are full, the capsule should be there.

I've gotten back to Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and it is annoying. Everything costs Gem Apples!! I even need Gem Apples to regain vigor, which lets me play in the first place! I'm getting tired of asking my dad to enter in his credit card number, and I've only done it twice so far, because he gets annoyed each time I ask. I've had the game since the day it was released, and I'm only at Level 17/50. It's not like it gets easier to Level Up each level, and there is no real way to "grind". Each harvest is every 12 hours, and you need to purchase Gem Apples to grow the tree. Past Level 5 Gear, everything costs at least 50 Gem Apples, and according to the chart Dude pulled up, it will take 1691 days from beginning to end to harvest enough Gem Apples to beat the game 100% without making any purchases. I've already bought at least 750 gem apples to grow the tree, and harvests are still only 20 every 12 hours. Either I'm being impatient, or this is poor game design. No Kirby game should ever again be free-to-play yet have in-game purchases. Ever.

You're right, they should spend a bunch of money on development and then donate the result to the public.

Games made by professionals are going to either cost money or have microtransactions. Some might have just ads, but putting enough ads in to cover the cost of something developed/produced by Nintendo really hurts their reputation, and they'll probably never do it.

A game that requires microtransactions to progress is doing it wrong, and it sounds like that may be the case here. But microtransactions for conveniences and customization is one of the best ways for a free game to make revenue. In fact, it's probably their only option.

Blame the bad math and game design, not their only viable business model.

Replaying Emerald, cept I hooked up an emulator to the wii for it so I could try it on the big screen. Forgot how good some of the route music is, usually just hear route music from diamond and pearl/red and blue but route 104 in emerald really caught me off guard.

I've finally taken the time to level up a bit without spending anything on potions or EXP orbs. I beat Taranza today at Level 26, and one of his heroic missions was to beat the him after reaching 25. I think I'm all caught up! :D

One thing I liked about the battle: it was the first (excluding Colossal Waddle Dee) boss to not reuse coding from Return to Dream Land, Triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot. Plus, his model was very well polished, and his fight was clever. I especially enjoyed him going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe" in the background to choose which Kirby to throw an electric web ball at. I can't wait to fight the last bosses.

One question -- I forgot to take a picture of the Rudania boss for my compendium. Does anyone know how to fight it again or how to get a picture of it?

Playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent on PS4. It's a pretty good game so far, though it bothers me that there are like a dozen things you could pick up and use as a weapon, but you can't use as a weapon because reasons. I get that they want to encourage the player to run and hide instead of fighting, but honestly, being able to use a shovel or a pipe as a way to stun enemies (even as a one-time thing!), at least, would allow for the challenge to be ramped up a bit and make things a little more interesting overall.

Highlights include locking myself in a room with a monster I was trying to avoid (looking behind yourself is hard :() and dying because of it, and on a different occasion simply HIGHTAILING IT OUTTA THERE from a monster that could one-shot me, and getting away from it by climbing a ladder.

Can confirm. Beat the game in one sitting and it's pretty good.

Mini-review; mild spoilers
Weapons are great, but by the time you have everything fully upgraded, the spread shot and flamethrower are pretty much the only two weapons you'll be using, with using the other two for niche purposes (tons of games involved inherently unbalanced weapons have this though; just look at Axiom Verge; coincidentally, AV's overpowered "one size fits most" weapon is also a flamethrower). Jumping can be finicky some times (the jetpack upgrade feels like it needs just a tiny bit more "oomph" to it, as I at several times felt I didn't have enough height to make required jumps and at time also felt like I had to do some things that weren't intended just to achieve that extra height), and some of the bosses are a little bit cheap in their randomness and/or making you guess at what you need to do (mostly in regards to the boss of the lab, plateau, and the final boss; if you damage the boss of the lab too quickly, you can actually put yourself in a position where you're guaranteed to be instakilled, as I died that way twice). Otherwise though, the difficulty progression is good and the platforming and shooting is good, the latter especially in regard to the gradually increasing weapon diversity. Some of the music in the early stages is a bit on the "eh" side, but everything else is amazing, especially the post-boss "completion" music, or whatever you'd call it. I also love the art style and the weirdness of it all, especially in regards to the enemies (which I lightheartedly lampooned... to myself, mostly... during my playthrough).

Solid 8-8.5 at least. And that's without even touching the content you unlock after beating the game once (yay more difficulty!).

Your opinion clearly missed a lot.

 - Improved physics engine.
 - Improved visuals (backgrounds, etc.)
 - Improved course lengths.
 - Improved grand prix lengths (5 races to 4).
 - More unique courses (less courses similar to others, as well as themes/styles).
 - Addition of "Quick Race" mode.
 - Reduction of laps from 5 to 3.
 - Removal of unnecessary "rival" system, including special items specific to rivals.
 - Items boxes are able to be picked up multiple times in a single race.
 - Added a few new items.
 - All players use item boxes.
 - Grand prix grading system.
 - Able to drop red shells backwards to wait for the next racer.
 - etc. etc.

Note that a lot of these changes actually happened in Mario Kart 64. It just so happens that we are talking about the transition from SMK to MK:SC and all of the changes that occurred in that period, regardless of when they occurred. Also all of these changes were just leading up to Double Dash, where the basic elements and standards were pretty much solidified.
sorry if i seem a bit defensive. i just really like super circuit and don't like smk all that much

The tracks were shrunk down too much, making it practically impossible to stay on the road without doing it a thousand times perfecting it. It might just be me on 150cc.

Anyway, since I'm still on a Zelda kick, Skyward Sword is up next. Picked up a Toad Wii Remote Plus on clearance and a brand-new Nunchuk (my old controllers are from 2006 lmao) and I've played for a few hours, just reached the forest temple.

So I recently took on the challenge of doing a nuzlocke every generation of Pokemon in a predetermined order. The order I went with was Kanto>Alola>Sinnoh>Unova>Kalos>Hoenn>Johto.

I'm currently replaying Sun and my god this game is not fun to play the second time. I hate how they pull it into a cutscene every 20 steps and pummel me with like 10 minutes of dialogue. However, I've gotten some crazy good encounter luck and am running a team of almost entirely Gen 7 Pokemon and they are fun to use.

As for the difficulty, I finished Red before moving to this game and I've gotta say that this game is actually quite a degree harder than Red ever was at any point. I breezed through Red in a couple of days, but I've had some pretty scary moments in Sun that have made me hang back and grind a lot before moving on to the next point.

I'm worried for Sinnoh and Unova, since I played those games the least and they're probably two of the most challenging generations.

Galaxy is a wonderful platformer and certainly among the greatest Mario games ever made, but yeah, I don't know if I'd agree that it's the best game ever made. That said, I'm the guy who doesn't think there is objectively any way for a game to actually be the "best game ever."

there are a few games that you look at and think, "this game deserves more."  Galaxy was one of the best games on the Wii for sure but it didn't make the impact that super Mario 64 did.  While you're right that you can't quantify best ever, you can pinpoint qualities similar to what you'd expect from a theoretical best game ever

A claim that earthbound or final fantasy is the greatest game ever, for example, is also not quantifiable but arguable and likely defensible

On another subject,I bought the dlc for botw and I am outraged.half this stuff should have been included in the main game.  So imo the full game costs like 75 bucks and I just spent 5 bucks on a tingle costume

So unbelievable, should have been free dlc

The way I look at DLC is if its absence makes for a poorer game then it should've been part of the release; if the game is fine without it then it's fine as DLC.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on July 13, 2017, 07:55:43 PM
Hard mode definitely should have been in the original game. The outfits are exactly the kind of unimportant things that qualify as a DLC, maybe except the Korok mask. Trial of the sword is up for debate.

Either way, it seems like the bulk of the DLC will be the holiday release.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: mikey on July 13, 2017, 10:08:56 PM
Master mode, korok mask, and trial of the sword are all things that are reasonable to expect without dlc

That's a fantastic score. AJAA's version of "Pursuit" is among my favorite tracks from any game.

Also, enjoy the first couple episodes. The second case is one that seems frivolous at a first impression, but actually quickly turns into one of your favorites. I love it. And the first...that one is really memorable.

You think Edgeworth 1 is okay until you play the second one and then it's like wow

(Also your order is fine since AJAA came out first, just stick to release order)

I will say that as someone who identifies with Edgeworth a LOT, his games are both awesome for me just based on him being the protagonist. His reliance on super logic and reasoning is more resonant for me than the psychic lawyer stuff of the other games.

Basically this

Except the third case of Edgeworth 1 is pretty much the worst case in the series

On a related note, it's not really what I've been playing right now per se, but I've given up on hope for a localization for DGS and started watching the subbed videos (actually, I gave up a long time ago but I didn't realize the subbed videos were finished until the recent news about the subbed vids being taken down and then brought back up). I'm on Case 2 and it's actually really good. Not the best game (the end of Case 1 dragged out way longer than it needed to), but I'm certainly loving the characters more than I expected to.

Ghirahim is one of the more unique Zelda characters. Definitely one of the most unique Zelda villains. I think I would say Zant is probably the most interesting, which is one of few redeeming qualities of TP compared to the rest of the series. And Imprisoned is so bad it's hard to call it a villain. TP and SS are probably my least favorite console Zeldas.

I think my dislike of it boils down to the uninteresting story, uninteresting boss battles, lack of open world, and boring sidekick.

Now that you've finished the first three dungeons, you'll probably start to understand why. There's a lot of backtracking and repetition with little variation in what you're exploring (except for the expansion on Lanayru, that part's awesome) and the story drags while you do it. You're about to reach the Ancient Cistern though and that's probably the best dungeon in the game.

I did reach the Ancient Cistern, though since it took me over four hours of gameplay I wouldn't say I was "about to" get there xD

Yeah, I don't know. That backtracking already felt a bit like padding without having to redo an entire dungeon for what's quite literally the fourth fetch-quest in a row since beating the previous dungeon. It's kind of baffling and I hope this trend doesn't ruin the game for me.

It makes creating Mega Man levels so easy, and it's a must-try for any fan!

That said, there are currently a bunch of Robot Masters, Special Weapons, and enemies missing, and mid-bosses are missing entirely. Hopefully, they'll gradually update it to add more, because I want some Mega Man Killers!

So, a quick update. I just finished Pearl last night and have moved into X. I beat Pearl in literally 3 days, and had 2 deaths total. Cynthia was a breeze because I was so concerned that I spent a whole day grinding my whole team up to level 65.

Currently, I'm in Glittering Cave on Pokemon X. The current team is:


I lost my Froakie to Viola's stupid Infestation hax, and actually almost wiped there. Since then the only trouble I've had was trying to catch Jho, who spammed Dragon Rage and killed my Oddish and Drifloon. I'm optimistic that I'll get this game finished by the end of the week.

Death Count

Well grinding will make any battle a breeze. That spiritomb will always be tough (until the inevitable remakes where it will have a weakness). Literally the only way you can get a super effective move on it is to use foresight and then a fighting type move.

Skyward Sword update: I lost to Levias, the big floating whale, then hit quit instead of continue, failing to realize that my last save had been two hours ago. There's no way in hell I'm redoing everything since then again, so it looks like I'm not finishing the game. Maybe I'll cool off in a few days but I don't really feel like doing all of that again.

I ate my words and played zelda for a while. The game somehow remembered I'd seen some of the cutscenes before, so I could skip them. And I just went straight for Levias instead of redoing the side quests so it took me all of like thirty minutes.

But goddam how many fetch quests does this game HAVE

the song of the hero is in three parts, and the Faron woods part was itself in seventeen parts

The woods being flooded is cool but oh my god let me finish this game stop beating these areas to death

That's kind of why it's regarded as a bad thing, though. There's no new sense of discovery or progression; it just becomes an arbitrary point you have to go to instead of a new adventure.
And the fetchquests really ramp up in the latter portions of the game so it does get tedious quickly. Pretty much every sidequest in the game is a fetchquest.
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?

except you interact with the areas in different ways each time because of new items or whatnot.  Like Eldin is not the same place after all your items get taken away, for example.  You spend most of the time in the same area, but each region even has a second separate area too.  It's like complaining that zora's domain froze instead of actually having a new ice region to explore

Ok that last part I understand but most of the fun of an adventure game is in the adventure game is in the adventure itself. After you've been through it once you already know where everything is so it's no longer an adventure which always killed the fun for me.

Side note: I'm going through as many Pokemon games as it requires to catch 1 of every shiny Pokemon including all alternate forms. Are there post-gen 4 Pokemon that are shiny locked in every method to obtain them? Also is there a way to get a legit shiny Arceus (fuck I need 18 of those)?

You've got a strange definition of adventure, then. I always considered an adventure to be an exciting journey, not necessarily one that you've never taken before. I'm sure there are tons of members here who could tell you countless games they've played where the second or third or even fourth playthrough of a game they love is still an adventure.

I think it's too late for that.
Fortunately for me though I can use the Cute Charm Glitch in diamond pearl Platinum HeartGold and SoulSilver to get any Pokemon that can be either gender as a shiny. Most of the ones that are genderless or always one gender I can chain or soft reset for. I can masuda breed all the starters. After that the 6th gender has the friend safari and the Dex nav and the friend safari. The shiny odds for both of these are the same as masuda breeding (1/512).
So basically I just need to know about shiny locks. Granted this may take years but I'm fine with that.

If I like a game enough, I'll play it four or five times at least. See: all the Laytons, Ace Attorneys, Majora's Mask. I like to make sure I've combed every corner of a game I like that much.

I made it to the Sky Keep. Hoping to get this game done tomorrow, realistically feeling like it might be Saturday. It always takes me like three real life days to do anything in this game.

Just played through Ghost Trick (by the same guy who made Ace Attorney), and damn it's a really good game if you like puzzles and mystery stories. Definitely recommend everyone to try it out if possible. I think it's like 10 bucks or something for iOS, and you can try the first couple of sections for free.

So a quick Nuzlocke update since the forum opens when I open up my browser.

I've finished HeartGold in-between play sessions of X. I honestly can't bring myself to continue X for some reason. It just bores the crap out of me now. I'm almost to the 8th Gym, but I'm not sure why I can't bring myself to just get it together and finish the game.

Other than that, all I have left is White and Omega Ruby. I might start those in the meantime.

Games like what? My mind goes to things like No Man's Sky and Far Cry where there's generally so much content and space to explore that you don't have to stop playing in the first place.

But in something like Zelda, Skyrim, Dragon Quest, Dark Souls, etc..., either each new visit is unique or the point is to gain new experiences or insight into the game's story and design. In my view.

It sucks for sure, but at least they got localized. But a side note: don't skip the DLC episode of Dual Destinies. It's great and worth the money. And if you get it, I recommend you play it between episode 2 and 3 (which is where it falls chronologically). It makes the buildup to the finale a bit better imo.

Definitely agree. It was rather disorienting to play it after Case 5.

But, on the other hand, considering how much I dislike all the cases except for the DLC case, at least it ended the game for me on a relatively high note...

Basically same. But the Monstrous Turnabout was also good. But it's definitely the weakest Ace Attorney; all the best episodes are the filler ones.

Let's see.
I bought corpse party for a car ride, and then stopped around 2 hours in because the game just wasn't fun. At all, really.
I played Inside all the way through this week. I'm not sure how I feel about it. it gave me the same feeling you get when you finish End of Evangelion for the first time.
I've been alternating between anime, Furi, Xcom 2, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Clannad, and Hollow Knight the rest of the time. I got halfway through The Last of Us, and it's great, but I just can't make myself hook up my PS3 that often. It's much easier to play stuff on my PC.

I liked Corpse Party! It wasn't the greatest game I've ever played but it had a really neat storyline and I played it the week of Halloween so it gave me that horror fix I always need that time of year. There are a couple scenes in the late game that are really cool, imo.

I was in chapter 2 when I realized that walking around trying to find the one event trigger was a pain. I just gave up after the part where you walk out of a room and the instadeath enemy is staring at you and you just die. It felt too formulaic, and not that original.

Yeah, and INSIDE is weird.

I've been playing a bit of Trace Memory lately (I believe in Europe it's called another code two memories). The game so far has been a really fun play. I love how things that you glance over in the game can end up being very important to puzzles you have to solve later on. That said, I'm going in to it very blind and I don't intend to consult any walkthroughs.

. I've got to say that it's an okay game with an apparent challenge so far. Though if you do play it, i really recommend equipping the master key at the start of the game. It's extremely useful when you have to go to Blighttown which is the spawn of satan with its poison damage. I've died like 5000 times, though which is annoying.

Next boss isn't too bad, but you're probably going to get upset at him the first time. Also, even though the gameplay is great and fun and challenging, the beauty in Dark Souls comes from the lore and the story. Do your best to understand why characters say and do what they do. Read item descriptions and pay attention to where you found them. Exhaust everybody's dialogue. Speculate. This is a carefully made Japanese game; everything has meaning down to the smallest animation nuances and item placements. Dark Souls will not explain itself to you, and if you don't take the time to try to understand and appreciate what it might be saying, you'll just be confused at the ending.

Have played a lot of Dota 2 lately. It's pretty good, but it really depend on what team you get/people you get on your team. Sometimes you get good teams and other times you get bad teams.

Sometimes you get one of those crappy teams where either everyone is just a big ego and just farms all day long and doesn't care about any teamwork whatsoever. Or you can get a team with random noobs. And both are just so annoying to play with. You literally feel like you're the one carrying the team up or doing all the hard work, while the other just plays like robots.

But a lot of times you also do get good teams. Like either where there's great communication and teamwork within the team. Or that you're lucky to get a pro (or more) at your team who just tear down opponent after opponent, so that you and the other players can just chill back and ride "the wave" to victory.

People seem in general to have gotten better at Dota. Before, some years ago when I was playing, some people was literally pure noobs, but nowadays, even the worst seems at least ok at the game. And some new strategies seems developed and picked up on.

I suspect this is true--I remember stuff like Pokemon Uranium being shut down (it was almost certainly better than whatever fake Pokemon games I've seen on the fronts of Chinese boxes).

Admittedly, on another sour note, I've seen trailers for games that are clearly ripping off real Digimon and putting fake names on them. (I caught Hackmon and even Jesmon images being used in one trailer, so those guys are extracting some of the most recently released Digimon.)

That was not the case with this game. The enemy placement and stage length is so annoying.

What's different?
Hollow knight goes for a hand-drawn art style, while shovel knight goes for the NES asthetic
HK has a very peaceful and relaxing OST, while SK goes for catchy chiptunes
And the biggest one: HK is a Metroidvania, while SK is a level based mega man type game.
A lot of this depends on personal preference, but I personally think Hollow Knight looks better, plays better, and has a better sense of progression.
SK probably wins on the soundtrack, while HK wins by a mile in the storytelling department.

Super Mario Maker for 3DS is so disappointing. You can't share your own levels outside of StreetPass, which was one of the biggest features in the Wii U version. There is no usable Mystery Mushroom feature, which also means amiibo functionality is also gone, added to the fact that you can't play any courses that include a Mystery Mushroom. Online, though, is the worst. Not only can you not upload your own courses, but you can't search for certain courses, either, through search query or course ID. The only way you can find them is through a randomized batch through Course World, or through the 100 Mario Challenge, which is another thing. No matter what the difficulty setting is, one minute you'll be cruising through 10-second levels made by 5-year-olds, and the next you'll be trying to figure out a ridiculous "Kaizo" level. It's miraculous finding a level made by an expert, or even a decent designer. Too many trolls.

Yes, I'm sure some of it has to do with limitations of the 3DS.

Cleared Spyro: A Hero's Tail! Have been playing it for a while and now finally completed it. :D

Pretty ok game. But nothing special. Don't really recommend it, as it... really isn't that great. Especially the mini-games, which are pretty poorly made and hard and annoying. :-\

I downloaded Tomodachi Life since My Nintendo was offering a discount.

That game is really pretty fun, huh? I don't see why anyone would pay more than $15 or $20 for it, but it's kind of hilarious. I made all of the people my apartment and one of our professors so far and we're having a good laugh about it.

FINALLY 100%ed Chaos;Child on Tuesday night (I started it on January 2 and it's just insanely long) so I have time for more things.

I ALMOST beat Ocarina of Time 3D Master Quest—I'm at the final Ganon and just don't want to bother with it. I feel like I can probably count getting this far as beating the game, right...? I'm past everything that's different from the original.

In the meantime, I finally picked up A Link Between Worlds and good lord is that game fun.

I would count that.

The best part about ALBW is the dungeon design.  The Dark Palace is probably one of the coolest dungeons I've seen.
ALBW's biggest flaw is the renting system- you make so much money that you just buy them all right at the start and it removes any real critical decision making.  I'm glad you think it's fun, cause it's one of my favorites
Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: SlowPokemon on February 17, 2018, 12:10:41 PM
It's weird. I actually downloaded ALBW as a sort of "I'll give 2D Zelda one more shot" thing because with both Link's Awakening and ALTTP I played for a few hours and was just incredibly bored. But ALBW feels much different—kind of like BOTW but with an open world map that's actually possible to see everything. Or in other words, like BOTW but I don't feel overwhelmed.

After a year and a half and over 58 hours, I 100% finished Picross 3D Round 2, meaning that I have 100%ed EVERY Picross game developed for 3DS, on hard mode with no assistance

This is not a gigantic accomplishment for most Picross games but Picross 3D Round 2 was insanely difficult and I got the highest jewel type in every puzzle so I'm really proud

(Ignore the fact that I'm not even halfway through Picross S for Switch)

Post by: SlowPokemon on April 29, 2018, 09:39:00 PM
I've had a really involved week with my Switch!

1. Layers of Fear: Legacy -- I downloaded this on sale a month ago or so, and finally got around to playing it. I started out playing it with headphones, but eventually had to switch to docked mode with my roommates in the room because I scare easily. I got each of the three endings to the game, and had a really good and pretty legitimately scary time! I haven't touched the "Inheritance" mode, which I'm pretty sure was paid DLC on the other consoles but comes included with the Switch version, but that's probably up next for me.

2. Splatoon 2 -- Finally gave this a shot after not really clicking with the first Splatoon despite loving everything about the concept and presentation. I'm not sure if the games are really that different in execution, but I'm definitely enjoying this one more than I did the Wii U one. I'm really having a blast with the single player mode--even though the game tells you to play online right away, I, uh, don't have any idea how to play well. I'm bad at action games. The campaign is a lot of fun though, and I love that the missions are just little ten to fifteen minute affairs--makes it really easy to pick up for a bit and then hit a stopping point.

3. I am Setsuna. -- Downloaded this a good while ago with 1-2-Switch, as they were both on sale at the same time. The latter title took precedence for me at the time since it was first-party Nintendo, but it's been quite a while since I've played a classic-style JRPG and I kind of got the urge this week. I've played about three hours and I'm actually already hooked. It plays like something out of the late 90s or early 2000s, the kind of RPGs you'd play on a GBA. In other words, it's great nostalgia bait for me, and I really enjoy that the story and gameplay sections are divided up so well. The game has a really neat premise, and the combat system is easy enough to get the hang of without being so simplistic that it's boring. I hope it keeps up the good pace, because I really dig the game's moody snowy melancholy aesthetic.

4. Picross S -- following up on my Picross 3D Round 2 total completion achievement last week, it's bugging me that I own a Picross game that I haven't finished. I did all the puzzles in regular mode and am now working through the Mega Picross puzzles. It's all really fun, and again I find that it makes for a great "study break" game to keep my mind stimulated.

Anyway, it's odd considering that I've played Zelda AND Mario, but this is the first time since I got my Switch over a year ago that I've actually felt connected to the console. My 3DS and Wii U both instantly resonated with me, but something about the Switch is a little more impenetrable to me--maybe it's the cold, non-Nintendo aesthetic of the menus or something? Either way, I finally am having a great time with it and couldn't be happier about this development, lmao.

splatoon 2 is a huge improvement over the first one, so it's understandable that you like this one and not the original (especially since you say you like the concept, that stayed the same while they vastly improved gameplay and balance n stuff)

I'm scared that I'll be beaten up, stuffed in a bag and get shipped to Madagascar if I ever mention something other than Kero Blaster in the stupid-ass Kero Blaster sale topic. (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=6620.120) And no screw you Ollie, I didn't get Kero Blaster.

However, I've decided to lower my spending for games during Steam Sales from $50 AUD to $20 AUD and that's made a hella difference on how empty my wallet is. I've grabbed up the Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition, the 2013 Tomb Raider and the Director's Cut of Deadly Premonition all for $15.45 USD! That brings my total external funds on Steam (just Steam not Humble Bundle or any other crap like that) to around $212 AUD! I'll be diving into New Vegas first as my first Bethesda game, wish me luck!

I've only really played the Pokemon one on 3DS, but I thoroughly enjoy it~
I should really finish it, tbh...

In other news.. I've been trying to finish Pokemon Sun. So I can go back and beat Pokemon Omega Ruby. So I can eventually play Ultra Sun, which I have had since Christmas and haven't touched. So I can then actually accomplish my goal of creating a team that has been raised through thorough EV/IV training (something I've never really cared about until OR came out). Additionally, actually "catch them all."

One of like... three games that I have ever really gone back and beaten multiple times. That game is so freaking fun. I think, although small compared to other gamers, the amount of times I've beaten the game is up to...8? Although whenever I get to the end I freak out and forget which option to choose to start over and find the cool new thing (like wearing the Outset Island outfit the entire game instead of the tunic was fun).

In my Zelda marathon, I've beaten Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (Wii U virtual console) as well as Wind Waker HD, so I'm currently giving Twilight Princess HD a second chance. Here's hoping I don't find it boring as shit and give up 20 hours in again.

I'm also 10+ hours into Octopath Traveler and have loved every minute. It's really rare that a JRPG draws me in so quickly like this. I'm having a great time.

As a final note, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is still an absolutely perfect game in terms of level design and presentation. I picked it up for 3DS (I'd honestly recommend it over the Switch version unless you're concerned about HD graphics) and have been doing a level or two whenever I get bored of those other two or need a change of pace.

This is a really good week in games for me, lol.

Nope: at the start the grid is empty, but the hint numbers are here. looke at the first line: you have 2 black squares, then 3, 2, and 2. So the hint numbers are 2-3-2-2. And the goal is to find all the black squares.

Title: Re: What are you playing right now?
Post by: LeviR.star on July 18, 2018, 06:44:23 PM
The numbers don't tell you the size of the gaps; if you start with placing down squares for larger numbers, you can work your way through, and it'll get easier as you go. Number 1 rule of Picross: don't guess. Guessing and marking incorrectly results in a time deduction, unless you're playing Picross S, in which case it'll make it easier for you through a guess-and-check method, and that's a bad habit to get into.

I'm playing the Borderlands 1 remaster, and man, the level scaling early game is so off. I'm level 10 and getting level 3 weapons from a level 12 enemy. There aren't nearly enough missions to help you level up. If I remember correctly though, after Sledge the level scaling gets a lot better (and Sledge's Shotgun is such a good weapon you can even use it to endgame).

Also, sniping seems a lot more difficult in this game. I'm playing Mordecai, and I had to invest in his skills that increase accuracy and reduce sniper rifle sway just to get a chance at a good shot.

Driving is definitely much worse than in BL2. In BL2, if you graze an obstacle, you'll bounce off a bit but mostly keep going, but in BL1, you'll just full on stop, and it's annoying.

Even this topic is dead huh?

I replayed Skyward Sword and this time I got all the heart pieces and side quest stuff—the only thing I haven't done is get the Hylian Shield, or completely finish the Lanayru dragon gauntlet for max rupees, but eh. After that I played Minish Cap for the first time and absolutely loved it—correct me if I'm wrong, but this feels like the last classical Zelda game they made. It was such a fun game to get through, and it took me 20 hours even without finishing up all the Kinstones. On a replay I'll definitely do that. It was also just fun to play a new Game Boy Advance game after all these years; that was my first system and it's the most nostalgic style for me as a result. As a last thought, I have to say that Minish Cap is almost a perfect companion piece to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, right?

I also wasted some money on a few amiibo cards so that I could get some fresh villagers in my Animal Crossing town. Namely, I decided to get one of each personality type, plus a couple extra that I wanted (these ended up being the two octopus villagers I didn't already have, Marina and Zucker).

Mario Maker 2, on the other hand, is something I already regret buying, but maybe I'll spend more time with it.

I've been playing Disc Creatures on Steam, a game which looks almost exactly like the original Pokemon games, although it has a few differences of its own. While I like the game, there are a few ways I see it could be improved. There are two major areas of improvement:
- The Catching System
- Leveling New Creatures

So, the catching system. In Pokemon, you battle a Pokemon, usually whittle it down to low health, then chuck Pokeballs at it until you catch it. In Disc Creatures, whenever you defeat a creature, you get a chance to burn its data onto a disc. While there is an item you can use (up to five times per creature) in order to increase this chance, there's still an issue with this. An NPC says that, when used five times, the item increases the chance by 10x. This means, that if a creature naturally has a, say, 1% chance of getting its disc, using the item five times gives you a 10% chance to get it. While I'm sure most of the percentages in the game are higher, this still proves to be an issue: in most areas, you need to use the item at least twice to get any noticeable effects, and even then, you don't know if you'll get the disc until after the battle is over. There is a solution to this, however. Instead of multiplying the percent chance, it adds a percentage based on the rarity of the creature. So, for a common creature, using the item five times would provide a +100% chance—in other words, a guaranteed chance. But for a rarer creature, using the item five times might only provide a +60% chance. This preserves the element of chance for rarer creatures while still rewarding you fairly for using the item enough times.

Leveling new creatures. Once you've managed to get your hands on some creatures, you'll want to try them out on your team, right? In Pokemon, wild Pokemon you catch are usually around your level if you catch them in current areas. Thus, leveling them up to the rest of your party usually isn't too difficult. But in Disc Creatures, nearly all, if not all (I think the starter discs are the only exception) of the creatures you obtain start out at Level 1. That means, if you want to use a creature in your party, you either have to go back to the beginning area of the game and grind, or risk having your creature get knocked out over and over again while leveling in your current area (Disc Creatures uses a three-party system like many other non-Pokemon RPGs). This is an issue... but again, it has a pretty simple fix. Introduce an item much like the Rare Candy in Pokemon, except with a twist... the lower level your creature, the greater effect it has. So, for a Level 1 Creature, it would increase its level by, say, 5 levels, while for a Level 99 creature (I don't actually know the level cap), it would increase its level by, say, a quarter of a level. This item should be purchasable.

I'm only about 3-4 hours into the game, so these issues may be resolved later on, but right now, these are the two biggest problems the game has.

Let's attempt to restart this a bit, shall we?

Recently, I've been playing 2 games on and off.
Risk of Rain 2 - This thing is probably one of my favorite roguelikes I've played. The beginning of each run tends to be very skill focused as you pick up items and slowly become stronger. There's a ton of them, but the fun starts when you begin stacking ones you already have. Say one item gives a 10% chance to bleed on every attack. Get 8 of them, and you can stack 80 bleed debuffs on a boss, if it lives long enough to let you do that. So yeah, as every run progresses, it slowly goes from pure skill to pure chaos with game-lagging numbers of enemies and you with items that can set off massive chain reactions by killing a single enemy. It's very fun and rather challenging too. When I die, I don't really feel like it's the game's fault for giving me bad items; it was my fault for getting hit.

Xenogears - Going into this one blind and it's pretty fun so far. My biggest complains are the camera, the slow loading screens (opening and closing the menu can take a few seconds if you don't speed up the emulation speed), and the translation. It's not bad, but it feels stiff and lacking character or personality. I'm hoping that doesn't get in the way of my enjoyment too much.

I played a fair amount of the first game but just couldn't get into #2.  Something about the change to 3-d really didn't work for me and I found it much more annoying to work out what was going on in my surroundings than I did in the first one.

I actually liked the camera, especially the hide and seek game where you have to mess around with a lot, but I can see why you would find it annoying.

I haven't actually played the first one. The second one can be a bit confusing at times, but the sound design is excellent and with some decent headphones, it's really easy to tell where enemies are when not on screen. It did take a while for me to get into 2. It took a few hours of beating my head against a wall til I started moving places. Once I did, it became a lot more fun.

For me, it's from a fundamental game design perspective. It felt that the developers said "Hey, since there's camera rotation, we can just design rooms without regards to camera placement." The final product, however, has rooms that look bad from every angle, and trigger buttons to move the camera is not fun at all, esp when it's not a true free rotation. Some automatic adjustments at times when you go around corners would be nice, but the game just tells you to do it yourself instead. I'm rather glad we've moved beyond this in game design.

I actually didn't mind the camera that much, but I don't think it added that much to the game. I just like being able to see everything from multiple angles. Since the camera is on the triggers, it means you can move, do actions, and move the camera all at once; I thought that was pretty neat even if it's weird. I don't even think it's that weird though, it's from a time where there wasn't really a "default" use for the right analog stick, and the original PS1 release didn't support analog sticks anyway. I agree that sometimes the level design doesn't work well with it though, particularly when you have to use the jump button...

The loading is kind of an issue though, I played it on PS1 and it was a pain sometimes... The translation is hit or miss, but as far as I know there isn't any retranslation patch or anything around, at least not that I could find. I also thought the text speed was a little too slow, maybe that's just me.

Is anyone here still playing Super Mario Bros. 35 a lot? I find that I really enjoy the Special Battles but am not as excited anymore by the regular mode. It's sad that the Special Battle mode is only available during the weekend. Although it does mean I have time for other games. :P
I have been playing Super Mario Bros. 2 (U) and Gradius besides, both on Switch Online.

From the beginning of the game Sue says this

"A first rate lady should be able to play an instrument like this as a sign of good breeding."

On top of the that, the romantic relationship between Justin and Feena.  So odd.

EDIT.  I don't think "Odd" is the right word.  It just feels not right to have two pre-pubesent people engaging in a romantic relationship.


However, if I played Grandia when it came out, I would have loved the romance between Justin and Feena because I could project myself onto Justin.

I've been playing Trails in the Sky SC.
I liked the first game quite a bit, but I can see, despite only starting chapter 4, why people consider this to be the finest RPG ever made. The writing is fantastic, combat fun, and music solid. It's aged remarkably well for a game so old, and I'd highly recommend it to everyone. Unfortunately, it's not on the switch (yet), which I know is a dealbreaker for some. It can still run on most PCs, so please, please check it out, starting with the first game.

On top of that, Trials in the Sky FC and SC work off of each other.  This is one thing that I like.

In FC the "Rank" of your character goes up in the guild.  That rank can be carried over to SC.  I don't know what it is for, but pretty cool feature.

I have FC on the PSP and SC on the vita as a digital download.

Third is on Steam.  Never got a physical release in NA. :(

Is it even online anymore? I can only find news articles and reviews from 2005-2007.

Personally, I've never bothered with MMOs. I've always preferred single player games with defined endpoints, so I can finish a game and then do something else afterwards.

I was playing quite some different games (7 at once), and was intending to not start playing new ones until I had beaten most of them. I beat two of them, but then did pick up Super Mario Bros. 2 (J) again. But then I signed up to the GP day at the Super Mario Kart Tournament (http://www.ffsmk.org/?task=agenda), unexpectedly, and since then I've only been playing that, in hopes to practise enough to at least stand a chance at beating the CPUs. :P

Just finished both Subnautica 1 and Below Zero (platinumed both, very easy platinums). Had a lot of fun just exploring and getting scared really badly from some horrific monsters! Highly recommend if anybody hasn't had a chance to play (much better on new gen systems but still good on old ones).  ;D

Super Mario 64 & Galaxy (I have 3D All-Stars, but I can't seem to get myself to play Sunshine anymore), Yoshi's Island (I'm terrible at it though), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and some other old Mario games from the NES/SNES collection. I'm about to actually beat Super Mario Galaxy with Luigi (I think I'm 19 stars away from doing so at the moment) and I can't wait to see what I get!

I also didn't like how you used the DS pen to move and do like a lot of stuff. But one of the better things was the final boss, it was pretty cool!

PS2 is one of those consoles that just had a ton of games. I think my largest (physical) games library is PS2.
