What game are you playing?

[Mikero]

Been only playing San Andreas pretty much. Put in a borrowed Kingdom Hearts the other day but I didn't know what I was doing anymore since I only did the opening like a year ago at my friends and I loaded that save file.

[Speed Racer]

Wow, Alex Kidd is by far the cheapest son of a bitch bastard that I've ever encountered in this game.

[MOX]

I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics: A2 recently. I havent played the other FFT games though this one is pretty fun. I like the large selection of jobs and everything though I wished it had a better story that would keep me involved more.

[Speed Racer]

I played some Aegis Wing the other night with 3 other people. That was pretty awesome, although I died a lot since I suck at the game.

[Mikero]

I find when there's too many jobs in a tactical or even pseudo-tactical game, it just gets annoying. I don't want to have to read boring crap for a thousand ours so I know how to best customize my party. I could just play an MMORPG for that crap.

I also dislike tactical RPGs where when a character dies in battle, they're completely dead and removed from the story and anything else you ever tried to do. That's like my only problem with the Fire Emblem series. Not that I ever lost any characters (save states).

Oh, and I don't like that you have to have a specific person on the field to recruit some random guy you've never met and couldn't possibly know who to put out that has the ability to talk to them or if the guy is even recruitable or talk-toable in the first place.

[Vinchenz Rock]

^That's Fire Emblem for you.

Anyway, I renewed my subscription for Phantasy Star Universe and plan on getting Ambition of the Illuminous (Expansion Pack) so I'll be playing that for a while.

[Kamon]

I've been replaying one of my favourite RPG's; Grandia II. I'll probably start on Grandia once I'm done.

[ASR]

I've been replaying MM1-8 in a random order.

[preventerWIND]

Holy ##### I'm about to play Battle Network.. I'M ACTUALLY GONNA DO IT! I'M GONNA--

I'm playing it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've been playing Pokemon Pearl far too much and getting far too into it.

I've been breeding Ralts all day to get one with great IVs to make a perfect Gallade.

[Chron]

I beat the unholy crap out of VC Super Metroid. 2:55 and 100% items.
Not the best time by far, but I'm happy with it.

I'm currently playing Mario 64 on the VC, since I never got a decent chance to play it before now.
It is fun, but I still like Sunshine better. The cameras and platforming were just a touch more refined.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

I've recently started playing Banjo-Tooie again.
Just another play through for the fun of it.
Other than that all I play is the occasional few rounds of Brawl, Pokemon Diamond, and Pokemon Ranch.

Sano needs new games!

[The Otaku]

I'm not currently playing it, but I'm looking forward to Tom Claney's End War. A fictional WWIII sounds great. Better than any other game with Tom Clancey's name attached.

[MOX]

I suddenly got back to Metroid Prime Hunters and played with the stylus for the first time. Man, no wonder I sucked before  .

I got so into it that I made my own stylus out of lego so it could feel like holding a mouse. Aiming is better though I'd never use it outside of the house, lol.

[Dizzy]

I beat Castlevania II: Simon's Quest on my Wii yesterday. Geez, it's easy and not as good as the first and fourth. Still haven't beaten the first and fourth yet. I'm finding there's a good load of bumf### to dodge and kill in these games. First on especially.

[Fatso]

Fourth isn't very hard until you start trying to speedrun it. Then it becomes, not hard, but a nightmare you willingly invite into your living room day after day after day. And enjoy it.

[ASR]

Found MegaMan & Bass used at Gamestop for $4.99.

Having fun.

[preventerWIND]

Yeah, I got that too. I heard it from a friend and went to go pick it up.

We're so cool ASR!

[Fatso]

Everything about the GBA port is meh. Not enough buttons so I'm stuck with double-tap dashing. Screen's too small (in terms of resolution). Crappy downsampled music. Et cetera et cetera et cetera.

[ASR]

Well, it's the best you're going to get unless you want to look like a Japanophile videogame importer.

And I see nothing wrong with it.

Yeah, I got that too. I heard it from a friend and went to go pick it up.

We're so cool ASR!

Yeah, I was just walking in to keep a friend company and then I saw it there! If it was any less than $5 I wouldn't have bothered. I lost a ton of GBA games back at military school, I'm convinced someone stole them, so I've been meaning to re-buy a handful of them. It's been over 4 years since then, so this is great.

I actually feel like doing the same thing for all 4 Zero games. They only had Zero 1 and 3, though, and they're $10 each, so I'll wait until I see better offers. I've never played Zero 4. I get a discount from my friend, though. MM&B only cost $4.40, ohoho!

[Mikero]

Everything about the GBA port is meh. Not enough buttons so I'm stuck with double-tap dashing. Screen's too small (in terms of resolution). Crappy downsampled music. Et cetera et cetera et cetera.

The game isn't that good, either way. So it's a moot point.

[ASR]

It is noticeably more difficult than MM8, I'll chime in.

[ChaosVortex]

When it comes to a difficult challenge, MM8 is pathetically sad.

Even still, it was fun.

[ASR]

JUMP! JUMP! SLIDE! SLIDE!

[ChaosVortex]

POWER SHOT!

TORNADO HOLD!

[NovaMan XP]

NO I FORGOT TO SLIDE!!

AUGHGUEDGH

[preventerWIND]

My names Aquaman! But you can just call m-

..ugh.. I can't.

[ASR]

Y-YOU HAFF TO ST-STOP DR. WILLY, MAGAMAYN!

[ChaosVortex]

My names Aquaman! But you can just call m-

..ugh.. I can't.

I was gonna do the same thing, but I couldn't bring myself to do it either.

[Chron]

My name is Aquaman, but you can just call me handsome GUY. <3

[Fatso]

Let's have a fair fight!

[Speed Racer]

Hey everybody, your favorite King of Darkness, Satan here. I've taken over Speed Racer's account momentarily because his house currently a lot warmer than Hell, seeing as the kid started playing Madden. Seriously, what the #####? MADDEN!.

[Mikero]

It is noticeably more difficult than MM8, I'll chime in.

No it isn't! MM8 has that #####ing Wily stage where you have to board through the whole thing. That's like harder than any MM&B level I had to face. Put together! And stirred! And sautéed! And served in a nice pumpernickel!

It may have warned you of what you're supposed to do next, but it was still beyond annoying. MM&B has nothing like that.

My name is Aquaman, but you can just call me handsome GUY. <3

Not to be confused with handsome Guillome. A French-Canadian (ew) seperatist (ew-er) with neck beardia (also ew).

[Chron]

That sled stage was horrible the first few times.
But I can do it flawlessly these days.

Oh. I was going to play some Grandia Digital Museum, but apparently the disc is broken. S'okay, got it for free, so it was a long shot. That and I can't read moon language anyway.

I may very well play some Legends today.
in fact i think i will

[ASR]

Yeah, the reason I was comparing is because I just replayed through MM8 last week, and when I got to the Wily sled stage, I was trying to show my friends how hard it was. I was like "Watch this, this stage gave me hell as a kid, it took me so many tries to beat it."

And then I beat it on the first try.

So my point didn't really get across.

[ChaosVortex]

I'd like some Legends right now. Legends 2 would do nicely. Unfortunately, I cannot find a copy.

If anyone hears a loud ringing squeal from the distance, I may have found a copy.

[ASR]

I saw Legends used at GameStop, but I don't own any sort of Playstation.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I have Legends 2.

...

But who wants to play it on a console when you could play it on the go with a PSP? >_>

[Mikero]

I do. Because to do it that way would mean I'd have to have a PSP.

[MOX]

There's Legends 2 for the PSP now?

...Now there's 4 games I want on the PSP.

[ChaosVortex]

I knew there was a Legends 2 for the PSP, but not in English.

I'd rather have the original copy anyway, but if I can see an English PSP version before I find the original, I'll nab it the same way.

[Vinchenz Rock]

There's Legends 2 for the PSP now?

Well, there's one out for Japan only but that's not the version I'M playing.

[NovaMan XP]

He's playing the PSX version on his PSP. -_-;

[Fatso]

Yes, we all got that thanks

[Abominator]

Yeah, seriously, knock all this ##### off.

[ChaosVortex]

Le sigh.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, seriously, knock all this ##### off.

Sorry. <_<

So, I just beat Metal Gear Solid 4.

I honestly think that its the best game ever made.

[NovaMan XP]

I beat Apollo Justice earlier today.

Now I've played all the Ace Attorney games so far... I still love the first one that most, and Apollo Justice was kinda bleh sometimes.

[Johncarllos]

I wanna play MGS4.
Now.

[XJ]

You wanna play it NOW?

...Or NOW?

I heard it wasn't that good, actually.  And not only from Yahtzee, who I trust to the ends of the earth with my non-existent baby.
