Just checked online and someone from Ubisoft confirmed that the game is region locked, although he said someone from EU CAN download the North American client and play on those servers, however I imagine there'd be some latency issues...

Been playing Destiny. Its decent. Its no where as good or bad as everyone claims it to be though. Just an average game imo

Finally picked up Ar Nosurge again and pushed through to the end. The game is padded as all hell. Like just going though the item creation scenes, not even reading, just button smashing took HOURS. Some of the conversations have up to 90 dialog boxes (You can open the log and see the textbox count.)

I did smile at the start of Phase 3, you get to visit the Tower from the first game. It's cool to see it in 3D with the familiar music; and Shurilea is there. I was pretty much playing just to see how it tied into the Tonelico games.
When you examine it closely a lot of the story elements mirrored the tonelico games which would have been clever if it was so poorly written. Like most of GUST rpgs this was a very mediocre game.

My RPG pending list:
Xenogears
Breath of Fire IV
Mass Effect trilogy

I'm playing Super Smash Bothers 4 for the Wii U. I'm whooping ass with the princess who looks exactly like one of my own strongest characters.
The sexy chick who's 7 feet 7 inches tall with the yellow Star thingy following her... God I'm so glad they made her overpowered.... Thanks Nintendo, but come on now. I'm on to you...

 

[coyotecraft]

I got the urge to play Sonic '06 after listening to remixes on youtube.
I finally got 100% on Sonic and Silver's stories. But I haven't touched Shadow.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I'm kind miffed that the decent game playing has a better, remake version on Steam now. Poor Star bought me this game for Christmas knowing I loved the animation. ;_;

 

[coyotecraft]

...and done. Putting Sonic 06 to rest.

 

[coyotecraft]

Replaying Psychonauts for the hell of it. I got dizzy playing the milkman level and had to stop.

 

[coyotecraft]

Started playing Terraria again. My perception of time while playing goes out the window. Like, I'll start playing at 12 and then I glance at the clock and see it's 5! How the did that happen?

I haven't really played it since the first patch, which just had a snow & crimson biome I think. But now you can you shape blocks for slants. And there's tons of new bosses and enemies. I'm kinda stuck at the moment. I can't do anything more until I defeat the mech Bosses, which is really hard to do solo. Crafting the summon items seems a lot easier then it used too. I'd done The Twins like 20 times and still can't beat them.

When I first started playing the new patch I was doing Fishing quests. Then I activated Hardmode and discovered spider minions! I got a full spider set which is handy because the spiders will kill stuff for me while I'm mining. I hated getting hit by hornets in the jungle but now they don't even get a chance to attack thanks to my attack spiders.

I've only fiddled with minecarts. I'm playing in a small world so it not that bad getting around.
The bad thing with all this new content is that I have to look stuff up on the wiki to know how it's suppose to work. Like what the rules to fishing are. You get trash if the water is too shallow or you bait power is too low.

Civilisation III. Got it in a Humble Bundle at some point and forgot to install it. Weird game. A bit simple, too, but quite old by the looks of it? It's alright.

 

[Ellie]

Quick play landed me with an island so small that I was struggling to fit people... had towns spaced out like a chess board. Weird game.

 

[rey meustrus]

You think Civilization III is old? I've been playing Civ II. Back to the old days of "you're the big winner here so I'm just gonna sneak attack you when you look vulnerable even though I have no battle plan" and constant "pacts to contain [your civ] aggression" when I'm not doing anything. I mean sure, I conquered two whole civs already but so what? I'd leave you damn Greeks alone if you would stop being little bitches.

Civ III intrigues me. It's a more complicated and strategic sort of game, definitely. I know my brother got into it for a while and got used to how the computer players were always leagues ahead in the beginning of the game but you catch up and overtake them. Which tells me that the AI is getting huge cheating bonuses to try and make up for it actually being terrible at the game.

The AI in Civ 5 is a lot better but still not competitive. It might be fun to play a fair game against real neural network AIs. The kind that beat chess grandmasters at chess. So I'd probably get my butt whooped unless the AI wasn't trained as well. Too bad the video game AI world still hasn't really progressed beyond AI scripts.

 

[rey meustrus]

Also "Quick Play" on a Civ game? I'm going to spend 4-20 hours on this one game and you're trying to save me 5 minutes of configuring the world the way I want it? Yeah right.

 

[Spoo]

A lot of Path of Exile and Smite. The latter of the two would be nicer if I had some peeps to queue with...if it helps, the game is nowhere near as toxic as DOTA or LoL's communities.

 

[Spoo]

I caught Styx: Master of Shadows on Steam for ten bucks and I'm playing that when I have time. It's a really fun stealth game with a really well written main character and fun mechanics. Only real issue I have is that once you get caught there's no real option to escape; you basically have to either die or use the super tedious parry-then-counter system to fight it out. AI is a tad janky at times too, but not so much that my experience has been marred.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Almost beat Hyperdimension Neptunia. Almost. ><

I started playing MY FIRST POKEMON GAME. Pokemon Y. Star got a Shiny Vulpix just for me, knowing it would coax me into playing. Yeah yeah. My memory has trouble remembering which Pokemon is what and such.

With Star and another friend, we started playing Minecraft together. I used to think it was boring, yet now it's relaxing. o.o

I don't get myself. XD

 

[Spoo]

Games like Minecraft and Terraria are great for relaxation. I download Tekkit or some such mod and kind of put my brain on cruise control. Gather resources when I want to chill and start on the complex machinery when I feel like thinking critically.

It's actually been a while since I've played Minecraft. Would anyone be up for a Technic or FTB server if I could find hosting for a reasonable price?

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I can't. Star and I are playing on our PS3's, since only one of our computers could run it. :P

 

[rey meustrus]

Hm. I'd love to play Minecraft with you peeps, and FTB is...well I've used many of the mods and seen it played so I know it's real. Not sure if I really have the time though.

 

[coyotecraft]

Ffxi. I think I'm at the final boss for the original release. A shadow lord? Come on, that was cliche even by 2000 standards. But I hate how padded this game is. I have to look at a guide 2 or 3 times before I can accomplish anything. There are a bunch of 99 players just standing around waiting for something. The AH is useless. Even with trust magic for solo player. They're dumb. They won't do Anything outside of battle. And no mages pre shadow lord who happens to have physical immunity half way through. And wouldn't you know it, I haven't been leveling my mage jobs.

So yeah. I'm stuck until I level up more or clear the limit break quests to get over lv60
