The Video Game Thread: What are you playing?

[Lem]

I don't have a Wii But I saw at a used book store last week Donkey Kong Country 3 but I forgot my wallet, I went back yesterday AND IT WAS GONE DDDD: That's the one I never owned!!! DDDDDDDDDD: I should probably kill myself now.

[Lem]

I don't know if you want ours, it keeps red ringing but Robert fixes it with a paper clip and foil (I shit you not) but occasionally will red ring again.

I once again started playing Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on my old sega mega drive.
(I am actually more of a oldschool girl when it comes to games) I'm currently at stage 5 again and it is pissing me off beyond believe! One more stage to go! s***w those bats, seriously.

You're not missing much. 1 and 2 are the classics, 3 was superfluous.

3 is awesome too, but the setting is hit or miss for most ppl.
I enjoyed it greatly though, it has it's classic levels like the snowball fight against the ice boss and the rocket ship level in the secret world.

Best remains part 2 ofcourse.

As for DKC Returns, i HATE the waggles here and there, but overal it's fairly addictive so far.
First bonus temple level in the first world made me RAGE.
It's the kind of level you only got at the very end of the SNES DKC games.
Learn the jumps or die, that kind of level.

New Elder Scrolls game is definitely going to be set in Skyrim :/

Although apparently they've developed a new game engine for it so hopefully it'll be better than Oblivion.

Replaying Tales Of The Abyss until Giftmas. Got new games as presents, I can't wait. *_*

 

[Sumire_hitsugi]

Persona 3 Portable, about 10 hours in. Playing on girl side.

Almost done with Silent Hill: Origins (PS2 ver).

 

[PureElegance]

OH, oh man, how's 3??
Do you have a dog?

2 was better. I'm having fun, but I feel like something's missing.

I started playing it yesterday, and I like Fable 2 better because interacting with NPCs was easier. These quests to build up relationships are incredibly tedious! I don't want to keep going with those, but I have to in order to have lovers...

omg, the decision to save either Eliot or the people was TERRIBLE. ;_;

I think I like the new 'menu' system. I remember Lionhead saying that they wanted us to really be IN the game and stuff, so they took away the menu system from before. I really like the game so far, but I hate the new system of building up relationships.

Played and beat Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (PS2 ver) last week. The psychological tests are fun, but running away from the creatures to survive is gd annoying. Also replayed and beat Silent Hill 2. Ahh, memories~

 

[Herr Doktor Knave]

SUPERMARIOGALAXY2!!! :O

 

[~Z e n c h o u~]

finished Shadow of the Colossus.

My eyes are dried out >.> such a heartwrenching finale.

 

[Camuflagem]

Finished Heavy Rain (PS3) - Awesome.

Started FF13 (Xbox 360) and Metal Gear Peace Walker (PSP).

 

[Iskanderia]

I downloaded Phantasy Star IV on the Wii 'cause I was craving an old-school 16-bit RPG and this got good reviews.

It's kinda lame actually. I don't get it.

 

[Sumire_hitsugi]

Dissidia FF
Hmmm, I'm just okay at it. My best character would have to be Squall~

SMT: Strange Journey
I like this game, though I can't keep track the number of times I've died so far lol. XD

I played the 3DS last night. The circle pad is nice, and the 3D is pretty good (though you have to view it from exactly the right angle, making viewing others playing not very enjoyable). The launch games seem pretty uninspiring (I still don't know what I'll get), but games coming out later in the year look great - Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart, Cave Story.

 

[~Z e n c h o u~]

MVC3 and occasionally popping in Dead Rising 2 and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver from time to time.
