Picked up the new black 3DS XL this afternoon 
Finally, one that doesn't look like some sort of toy.

What the heck is League of Legends anyway?

I think you are happier without knowing it, trust me!
Btw, no one is trying to convince me into buying a 3DS in order to play the new Pokémon game so I guess I won't be playing it...
It's just as well, the new Pokemon is based on... FRANCEKoji wrote:Btw, no one is trying to convince me into buying a 3DS in order to play the new Pokémon game so I guess I won't be playing it...
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Also, i'm a fan of Pokémon since R/B/Y, but i will probably skip this new generation.
It really lacks any kind of soul
I'm not hyped at all.

Started Phoenix Wright 5 last night Not very far into it yet, but the new 3D-2D animation is surprisingly good.
About halfway through EO: Millennium Girl too.

I'm playing Portal 2. It's fun and very satisfying when you clear a difficult puzzle. Sometimes though I think "oh geez, how did I not see that?" because the solution seems really simple and obvious once I discover it.
Those little drone dudes that shoot at you are annoying, but I like how you can sometimes take them out with lasers, hohoho.

Picked up the new Zelda game for 3DS today at Worlds of Power, but not going to start till I finish off Etrian Odyssey
Assassins's Creed III: I've been playing the game more. I like the way the storyline's going, it's beautiful, huge, and detailed as always, controls are good, etc. Boston isn't Renaissance Italy, but the details and things you can do make up for it.
My favorite part so far is the naval missions. I'm not sure if there are more left, but I LOVE steering the ship (the Aquila) on the open seas. I can't express how nerdy that makes me feel. It's like a dream come true! The graphics are beautiful, you get into ship fights and they're actually intense. You control the sails, you have your first-mate and crew yelling at you, you buy upgrades, and you can shoot bullets/cannonballs. THE LIFE I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF~
Here's a trailer for the naval parts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gw73Y0CqKU
I love hearing everyone yelling at the same time, especially those phrases, "We're takin on water!" "FULL SAIL, FULL SAIL!" "READY SIR!" "FIIIIREEEEE" "QUARTERS, QUARTERS!" "ALL HANDS DOWN!" "SHE'S GOING DOWN, HAR HAR HAR HAR" "GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED, THEY DID!"...I swear I was a pirate captain in a past life
I like hunting on the frontier. When I didn't have a horse I was killed by bears/wolves/stags/cougars/bobcats, but now that I have one, the bears run away, I follow, jump off my horse, and do an aerial kill. BWAHAHAHAHA. I like killing beavers because they're so slow. BWAHAHAHAAHA. Rabbits are annoying, but foxes/raccoons are fine. Then I sell hides and things I get. You could kill them stealthily by hiding/leaving traps/food, but I like rushing in.
I'm trying to figure out ways to renovate my mentor's mansion. The way to do this is different from previous games and I'm not sure how to make money that fast yet. Income from killing animals isn't big. I'm also looking for Captain Kidd's treasure, but I have to find a bunch of Peg Leg's trinkets in Boston and other areas. *sigh*
I really liked the part where you're back in the "present" and you're in Manhattan, climbing the side of a skyscraper. That was awesome.
I've met Samuel Adams, Edward Braddock (haha), and Benjamin Franklin so far. I like how they've brought people you wouldn't have known about unless you studied history XD Now all these obscure British/US men have on their wikipedia pages:"He appears in the 2012 video game Assassin's Creed III."

Wishlist:
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag: IT'S PIRATEY. I've been waiting for this the entire year! You're on a pirate ship and you can even hunt whales and stuff! BE STILL MY HEART.
Grand Theft Auto V: This is where it's at. I can't wait to go to the strip club. And basically do everything I can't do IRL because ARGHHH MORALS.
Battlefield 4 (maybe): I'm watching TheRadBrad play this and I feel like getting it because it's in China and southern Asia. I know, call me a nerd. The storyline is that a candidate for election in China, a "progressive," who was for freedom of speech, things like that, was assassinated (how cornola). Evil Admiral Chang, working with the Russians, is taking over China and blamed it on the US. People believed him are are rioting on the streets of Shanghai and you have to go fight the Chinese.
There seems to be a subplot concerning your fellow marine "Irish." You're on the Huangpu River in front of Shanghai's skyline and he gets heroic, wanting to help the poor Chinese civilians because he doesn't see them as enemies though they're Chinese--against orders! He keeps bringing up the "doing the right thing" idea, but one of our leaders, Kovic, lets two US soldiers drown so you know he don't care 'bout no Chinese.
It's so "USA USA
" in some ways but it's mainly in China so.
Honorable mention: Outlast
It's a horror game. I'd never play it, but I saw TheRadBrad play it, and he was so sincere and funny that I ended up watching him play the entire game. It's about a journalist (you) who gets a tip about an asylum for the criminally insane, you go there and get trapped. You can't fight back, you can only hide, and all you have is a video camera which has nightvision. It takes up battery so you have to always be on the lookout for batteries as well as documents for your investigation.
The scary part of the game isn't how freaky some of the patients can be, you get used to them after some time and some "help" you, but it's really the suspense, how bloody it all is, the music, the darkness, the noises, having no idea where you are sometimes or who's nearby. The fact that you can't fight the attacking patients and you basically have to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, looking for a room or a door that'll open, or find a hiding spot, HOPING TO GOD no one sees you. A big factor is how helpless and weak you are. It honestly scared me and I wasn't even playing! It's excellent.

What I hated the most was when you're walking around and you hear a door being pounded on somewhere, you know whatever's behind it is coming for you, and you're like "OH GOD WHERE!!!" When the door is in sight and you see it shake that's when it gets really freaky.

anyone interested in that Bravely Default game for the 3DS?
Seems very fun.
Also, Metroid was on sale on 3DS VC for 5bucks, absolutely loving this game. Samus is too cool

What, the original NES Metroid? I could never get into it at all. "Super Metroid" was fantastic though.~Z e n c h o u~ wrote:
Not playing much of anything here at the moment besides idly trying to beat the dragons in "Etrian Odyssey Untold" ::kisaki:: Maybe I'll get some new games for Xmas.
Finally bought a 3DS and Pokemon X and played in pretty much its entirety, with the Elite Four and all, too bad the Pokemon Safari is so limited this time around though...
My next 3DS game will be either Fire Emblem: Awakening, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance or the new Bravely Default although I'm quite reluctant on the latter since they say it's similar to the "good ol' RPG" and imho they can all go to hell

Sooo I've started playing Grand Theft Auto V...
I used to play San Andreas and before that Miami Vice, and this is definitely an improvement while staying the same, it's strange XD I like how there are 3 storylines to switch from, the graphics are amazing as always, and it's a lot of fun so far. I actually WANT to do the storyline when before I'd ignore that part and just blow up buildings and kill civilians.
For the first time ever I have internet connected to my XBOX, so now I can do multiplayer. I can't wait for my friend to join, but so far I've been alone in the multiplayer world. It's been fun and I like my character. It's a woman and I bought a red beret, white jacket, red top, white skirt, and black high heels so she's always sexy. I'm a noob though so I'm "out of shape."
Only thing I don't like is how other players can kill you forever XD I decided to take a drive to the mountains and there were two players there who would not stop killing me. I'm still a noob and I was in the middle of nowhere with them so our fights mostly consisted of the cops shooting at them, them in helicopters/fancy cars trying to shoot me and run me over, and me running for my life. I died like at least 8 times! The problem is that you respawn pretty close to where you died so I never had a chance to regroup and just had to run or hijack a car. I'm pretty good at dodging and driving away from bullets and bombs now XD THINGS GOT CRAZY. It was hilarious.
Sometimes there were no cars in sight so I ran down the highway for forever and just PRAYED a car would appear. I finally got my break and drove as fast as I could away from them. Man.
Before that this guy kept trying to kill me, succeeded a couple of times, and then he sent me a text (we have phones in the game) saying "we cool man get in the chopper." I wasn't sure if I should trust him or not so I rammed my car into his helicopter, but he stayed still. I got out and we went FLYING!
It was actually pretty nice We soared over the ocean, mountains, and it was sunset so it was a gorgeous view from the sky.
You can turn on "passive" mode which doesn't let you get killed by other players, but at the same time it doesn't let you rob convenience stores at gunpoint, which is how I've been getting cash so far. Sigh.
Apparently you can yell into your mic to make the convenience store people take out the money faster, but I've yet to try it. "MOVE MOVE MOVE" "IMMA BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF IF YOU DONT HURRY UP" XD The stores have seen me so many times the clerks say things like, "Not again!" "Man this is the second time today!" "I know the drill!"
As for the main storyline, right now my name is Franklin and I'm a black guy from the ghetto, my girl Tanisha dumped me for some lawyer dude because she wants "security" and "a stable life" or something like that. Man can a homie get a break here??
As Franklin I wandered into the mountains to explore. I accidentally drove my car off a cliff and into a lake, so I swam to some rocks. I climbed up a mountain and then a mountain lion killed me. You can also get eaten alive by a shark!
So far I don't have a lot of money, so what I spend on prostitutes I get back plus more by killing them XD I try killing civilians but they don't have as much on them... I don't even have a gun to rob a store! Times are tough. I've been exploring and trying out things first before I move on further on with the storyline. My dawg Michael is going to hook me up with some jobs.
I'll check out the strip club and see what it's like, but I don't have a lot of money to throw around so I may be limited in what I can do *sniff* The other guy you play is really rich so I can't wait to play him XD
You can also hunt animals for money and I can't wait for that. It'll be like Assassin's Creed III You can also buy houses, go skydiving, play tennis, invest in stocks, watch tv, fly planes, smoke, get drunk, etc. besides doing the main storyline.
GTA 5 now also has Capture the Flag mode, races, etc for multiplayer, but I think Halo will always be the best with that kind of stuff. GTA is such a chaotic game with multiplayer XDDD

Finally beat Lords of Shadow and Mirror of fate d(^___^) I was really getting into Lords of Shadow until the ending, which made me think someone was watching too much Interview with a Vampire o_O I'll play the next one, but I'm kind of on the fence about it.
I started playing the new DMC and I have to admit, I'm really liking it! I thought I wouldn't because of Dante's design but when you think of it as a completely new series and not part of the DMC games, it's actually really enjoyable! The action is awesome and the fighting is really fun. The backgrounds are really fun to play through as well. The plot is pretty weak, but I'm hoping that's going to pick up soon~

I know a lot of fans don't really like it, but I've always loved it and Legacy of Darkness
I'm playing it on PS2 with the backward compatibility... finally bought one about 5 minutes before they discontinued the system XD I'll probably never get a PS3 or PS4, or at least not till they're $25
