[Dawnbreaker]

Finished a weekend of playing TESO with the boytoy and his bro. T'was oodles of fun!

 

[Unlucky]

Persona 4 Golden.

Gaaah I want to play that P4 so bad why can't they port it on the PS3

OT: Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly

A very short game, the only reason why I'm not finished is the damn final boss.

 

[Carlie]

It's a shame really but damn does it work so well on the Vita.

 

[Marcus]

Emm I'm playing quite a few games right now, keep swapping between them all as I want to up my Platinums as well as my Gamerscore.

I'm playin Lightning Returns and Mass Effect 3 on PS3. Battlefield 4, CoD: Ghosts, Lego Marvel Superheroes and Need for Speed Rivals on PS4. RYSE: Son of Rome, Forza 5 on Xbox One.

 

[Drax]

Found a copy of Minstrel Song, will play it when my PS2 stops acting up

Yeah I really ought to buy myself a Vita, because Golden and the upcoming Dancing All Night

..I am still in disbelief that this is supposedly canon.

 

[Carlie]

Taking into account the cross dressing event I find that believable.

will play it when my PS2 stops acting up

I figured out the problem: in addition to the spring in a PS2 slim's disc tray being defective, if the bottom of the system gets hot, it bakes itself. So I used one of those wire dish racks, which fits snugly over my Xbox and gives me another shelf.

Also I can never touch the disc door while playing unless I want to lose my progress

Sent back Minstrel Song. It's a remake of the original SaGa, and graphically it feels a lot like FFIX. I spent a good 2 hours reading the entire in-game tutorials, seems like a lot of buying skills for the world map and leveling up shops to buy better gear. I played as the pirate, but I think there's 8-9 different classes to choose from. They're all separated from each other though, the rest of your party is random throwaways you collect like Valkyrie Profile or FF Tactics. When they die, you just recruit more. And that will probably happen a lot because their moveset is tied to lifepoints.

Hopefully I'm renting this game next:

Spoiler

I contend that Arc the Lad has one of the best main theme songs.

 

[Ami]

Been playing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for the past two nights now. Got back into it pretty easy after two months off. I have a feeling I'll be devastated when I'm finally finished with it.

 

[Unlucky]

I am expecting Kanji to make use of the folding chair in his routine. Atlus better deliver

OT: Persona 3 FES. Wow.. less than a month in the game's timeline and I've already managed to mess up a social link. Currently sucking at balancing life.

 

[Carlie]

They must indeed deliver for great justice.

I'm sucking hard at balancing life in Golden, completely missed Kanji's social link because I thought it was going to active after I saved him and we talked. By the time I noticed my mistake it was already summer vacation so I had to wait for school to start to get it but is not working. I looked it up online and it says I have to talk to a girl on Classroom Building 2f that's next to the stairs on specific days but she's not there and I'm like "Kanji noooooooooooooooooooo". ;_ ;

 

[Sanx]

Tombi PS1

 

[Marcus]

I kinda want to play Final Fantasy VII VIII and IX and stream them all before Final Fantasy X is out next Friday. I also want to work on buildng up my platinums, so it is a bit of a dillemma

That certainly sucks doesn't it T_T I'm having the same problem with my teammates, my stats aren't high enough to start the link and I probably missed a lot of flags already. I didn't want to use a guide but man I think I need to. I am sucking at Persona life

Who are you hitting on by the way?

 

[Carlie]

Problem solved, right now Kanji's social link is at rank 3. I'm sticking to walkthroughs now, don't want to make another stupid mistake.

Before I started playing the game and was just reading info on it I was wondering which girl from the Investigation Team I was going to romance, Chie was quickly eliminated because I see her more as friend, then Naoto because I like her with Kanji which left me with Yukiko and Rise. I could not decide between them because I liked them both as love interest and then I realized that Rise is voiced by Laura Bailey, boom decision made. Right now I have her social link at 9.

 

[Lord Noctis]

Played with Black Ops 2 a bit. I found the experience to be meh.

On the other hand, I've also been playing tales of symphonia. While the voice acting is kinda crap, and the dialogue not great, the gameplay, soundtrack, and overall story is quite good.

I didn't wanna use a guide because it makes the whole game feel like a task. But I find myself consulting one every now and then anyway lol

I would've picked Chie. Or all of them. Yu has enough swag for everyone.

Kanji is probably my most favorite out of all the characters. I'm still on the fence about

Spoiler

whether he's gay/ bi/ simply confused and I really have to play the game to see if it's really left ambiguous

 

[Drax]

Alan Wake-Haven't poked around enough yet to see if it gets darker. So far the forced narration and the shadow people saying random Shining quotes makes it pretty funny, actually.

Sly Cooper Collection-First time playing the Sly series. Only on the first game, I like how they've split the missions into short segments with a hub to go back to.

Prof Layton & the Diabolical Box-My first Layton game. So far this is my favorite of the pick. It's starting to make me feel pretty dumb and I'm still on the train.

Spoiler

This one has my favorite theme of the series @1:57

 

[Keveh Kins]

Going to give Fallout 3 a go on my roommate's recommendation. Game never caught my eye when it was first released, but apparently I missed out big time.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I know mobile gaming really isn't up to scratch, but occasionally you find games like BADLAND...

for both Apple and Android...

 

[Alice]

I've been going through FFVIII again. One playthrough on my PSP where I'm not being overpowered, and one playthrough on Steam where I'm turning Squall into a beast by the power of Triple Triad and Card Mod.

I can't exactly say the game feels harder or easier.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I'm in "replay everything due to nostalgia" mode again. Currently in progress are Seiken Densetsu 3 and Super Metroid. Just completed are the original Legend of Zelda and a ROM hack thereof entitled Outlands. Will probably replay most of the rest of the 2D Zeldas shortly.

 

[Drax]

Broke out Xenosaga Ep I again, I would really like to finish it and move onto Episodes 2 and 3. Like DQVIII and Rogue Galaxy, this has been an ongoing project since I bought my PS2 in 2005.

With that said, I still have some ingrained knowledge of how the Xenogear-type battle systems work. That amazes me. I still haven't figured out the Boost in XSaga though. I read up on it and it sounds like it's really only put to use for long boss battles.

I'm kind of arm-chairing the plot. I have some idea of what I've played through, but this game is Star-Trek thick. It really needs chapter logs. Also, when you figure out the EXP roulette wheel, the battles are rewarding and not grindy. A lot of the mechanics take advantage of what FFIX did. Fun stuff, the trilogy needs a PS2 HD collection.

 

[Celes Chere]

I'm playing FFX ofc, but I'm also on chapter 3 of Bravely Default and I feel bad I put it down to play another game. u m u
