What games are you currently playing?

[StrawberrySmiles]

That is your opinion. Let's not start a debate about this. I just wanted to know who else liked it, and MegaFlare wins! YAY!

I am still playing Tactics Ogre, because yes - it's that fun (for me).

 

[moog]

It is, but SE also said they wanted one of the big factors to be graphically and musically better than 7, which they put too much effort into actually, which caused some of the plot lines to fall through terribly (which is why im bringing up the whole lol orphans thing)

im not bashing your opinion at all

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

It's okies, Moog.

I understand the horribleness of the plot and all, I just still liked the game regardless. Especially the music. ><

I'm a strange gal who likes unliked stuffs. XD

 

[moog]

No worries! The music in 8 was awesome.

I am still playing Tactics Ogre, because yes - it's that fun (for me).

is there any difference between the original and the new one?

Im still playing Mother 3 and i just got to the 4th needle and the boss and enemies are kicking my ass
but this game is really cute i mean all the enemies are cute and everything about it is cute in terms of concepts

but the story is kind of dark oh dear :c

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

There's tons of differences.

But for me, it's a good thing.

The interface has completely changed - probably to make it not seem so old-school, possibly for newcomers. You can now learn passive skills and finishing moves. No one dies permanently. I mean they still die, but now they have three hearts/lives that disappear if you don't save them in time (which I love, because I sucked at the original so bad and kept losing people - grrr). They added new weapons and armor, plus a crafting system.

I think it's a super enhanced version. XD

But I love it, and it has turned into my second favorite game of all time. :X

Currently playing Resonance of Fate.
So glad I bought it. It has to be the most unique RPG i've ever played. It's hard, but it's fun. The battle system, and world map systems are unique. It's all pretty too. It's even fun to farm for levels!

 

[moxie]

i was tempted to get Resonance of Fate just for the clothing and character customization, i heard there were a lot of options :blush:

 

[Perihelion]

I'm playing Morrowind. It has a lot of the problems that plagued Oblivion, but it feels less generic (and also I can mod it), so that makes it much better. It's fun times.

 

[psiclone]

Rift. Fun as shit, I'd totally recommend it.

 

[Necrile]

ME2 and a bit of KZ3. Highly recommend both.

 

[candle]

Watching LPs of Ratchet: Deadlocked and Devil May Cry 2, making my own LPs of Half-Life 2 and Minecraft, spending time on boon's Minecraft server, and debating on whether to play Dragon Age: Origins or Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue as my next rpg.

I've been playing Killzone 3 online which might I add, is fucking amazing, I love being an Infiltrator since I can stealth kill tons of people without being seen (Once you get it level 3 you don't come out of disguise when melee killing... lol) and you have to be stood pretty close for them to see through you too, so it's pretty decent, especially with the 50% extra run speed and infinite stamina, although I can feel that getting nerfed somewhere down the line.

I've also been playing The Saboteur, it's sort of like Grand Theft Auto meets Assassins Creed but set in WW2 Nazi occupied France, it's actually pretty cool, and the story has been interesting so far.

I think once I'm finished the The Saboteur (Apparently I'm 45% in after 11 hours, but some of that was messing around) I'll run through the Killzone 3 campaign, maybe wear out it's multiplayer a little more, and then move onto Mass Effect 2 and Nier (I'd like recommendations here, which should I play first?), hopefully by the time I've finished all this I'll FINALLY be able to play Darksiders (Had it for ages but not even put it in the PS3 yet), and maybe even LittleBigPlanet 2 (Bought it on release day, it's still sat with the wrapper on it, with a line of dust on the top... lol)

 

[candle]

Mass Effect 2 is amazing; easily one of the best games of 2010. I have never played Nier, however, but that doesn't mean it sucks!

 

[moxie]

um

hmm idk

Mass Effect 2 is more much polished, aside from Uncharted it's probably one of the most genuinely cinematic games.

The cover-shooter stuff is fun, but the RPG elements are transparent, serviceable, barely there (there are very few types of weapons to choose from, you can have basically all the skills by the end, etc) so if numbers and choices are your bag it doesn't have much to offer there

some of the characters have their moments but for the most part it's a very bland cast, which is sorta disappointing (mordin 4 ever)

conversations and choices are honestly almost completely linear, whether you're a paragon or renegade - things almost always happen the exact same way whether you're punching people or kissing their ass. p much the "choice" lauded by everyone is an illusion, you're not going to find deep obsidian-style conversations here

don't think i'm nerd-raging or anything, i still loved it. it's a solid, enjoyable game that improves on the first one in a lot of ways (except scanning nnghsdjhsd) and even runs a lot better than the first one despite looking 250% better. it's just not particularly deep or anything.

 

[moxie]

Nier is v v good, on the surface it's a fairly standard action-rpg with dated graphics and a lot of amazingly tedious side affects, but if you're the type that's willing to put that stuff aside and play things for the story and atmosphere it's really great

the companions you get are all incredibly weird, very interesting, and the dialogue amongst them is hilarious and much more natural than a lot of games that are praised for their "interesting banter"

on the surface the world is a bog-standard rpgland with a few strange quests that take you away from the norm, but if you investigate farther you realize how interesting it really is (and how much the world itself parallels the absolutely heartbreaking main storyline)

there are a lot of moments in Nier where it suddenly has completely different gameplay just for the hell of it, but surprisingly it feels completely natural. i won't spoil it for you but you'll know those moments when you see them

all in all it's a very quirky, different game w/ a lot of heart and also the best main character in a jrpg ever





i tried to summarize my impressions w/ them and stuff, hope this helps you decide??

 

[psiclone]

RIFT still.. I highly recommend this game if you want a new MMO. PvP isn't instant like others, though I feel like healers are slightly overpowered at the moment. Quests are cool/fun, and there's rifts that open up throughout the world that players get together to destroy/seal. It's so damn fun.. game went live today but idk how busy the servers will be.

 

[Jason]

I was in six of the betas and tried the open beta for RIFT, personally I thought it was pretty much WoW reskinned but with more classes, now that's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing either, it needs more than just looks to stand out in a crowd...

 

[Necrile]

Just finished ME2 last night. I nominate ME2 for worst videogame ending of all time. It's that bad.

 

[Ellie]

Pacman. It's for a good cause, honest!
