So I’m playing Xenosaga 2…

And it sucks. It’s like they took the first game and made everything marginally worse. Hire bad voice actors? Check. Create ugly character designs? Check. Ruin the battle system? Check.

The battles really annoy me. Maybe I’m doing something wrong…but they take me at least 5 minutes to complete. Stock for 3 rounds -> Use Medica All -> Kill things. Every damn battle. The whole break zone thing is interesting only for a short time.

And the biggest crime of all: KOS-MOS. She is my fav character and there doesn’t seem to be much focus on her. Granted, I’m not far into the game, but I’m about 8 hours in (7 and a half of which are cutscenes) and she has had one line. I’m so sick of hearing about Rubedo…

rite ow i’m playing final fantasy origins n i’m playing the first final fantasy game but i haven’t played it in a few years n jus started again where i left off n i got a wairror,redmage,blackmage,n whitemage all leveled up crazy but 'm stuck i dunno wut 2 do i think the last thing i did wuz save the princess frum cornelia n thurs a witch named matoya whos missing the crystal eye n in elfheim they say the dark elf astos stole the crystal eye n put the elf prince 2 sleep n sum ppl i na cave need nitro powder n in provoca sum guy sed he fled frum a town called melmond cuz theyr r monsters there n random ppl tel me 2 go 2 the west but i kan’t find anything except elfheim n a marsh so i dunno where2 go or where any of the places are i been searching the whole map by ship but i dunno where 2 go i kan’t find any place 2 go so sum 1 give me sum help n directions on wut area i shud go n where it’s located it’d b appreciated

Man, I envy you because you made The King smile. Twice, even. I’m pretty sure the guy will be beaming if you get it really close to 10M. I would love to see someone get it to 10M exactly. Whoever can do that just has a superhuman sense of spacial perception.

One day left :tup:

wow thats crazy its up to 68$, i still have a mint copy of that game…good shit…

im outi

I got Beowulf in DMC3 finally, a bit slow but Shinshoryuken XX Shinkuu Tatsumaki is tight and nothing lives through it :clap:

Damn you :sad:

To anyone who works at EB…how much credit can I get for the Halo 2 SE. I’m gonna trade this in and get DMC3 tomorrow maybe, maybe, maaaayyyyybeeee get SFAC on Xbox. Got SFAC on PS2 and playing it on the T5 stick is too beautiful. So we’ll see…

Probably going to look for SF Alpha 3 on the PS as well.

Started getting back into VF4 awhile ago after I got the T5 stick. This game is too good. BEST. FIGHTER. EVER. and just straight up one of the best games ever. I just wish FT would make it to console but then that would probably overkill(SF2 back in the days) even tho’ they made some more changes and (somehow even moreso) improvements from what I’ve read…

Starting to play DOA2U online as well. Having alot of fun…except that every SS rank I play, there is lag. Nobody else I play with will lag, but once an SS and me go at it it’s lag city. I doubt it’s a coincedince either… :tdown:

Should start playing T5 some more since I got it and need to still need to unlock all the characters, but it get boring just juggling the cpu all the time. Find a move with a charcter that pops them up, hit a couple times in the air rinse and repeat…

Halo 2 SE was $40 CDN credit, so I guess a bit less US.

Guess I’ll look for someone to pay me the full price for it then since it is unopened. My bro has a copy so I can play that if I want.

From what I was told, you don’t get anymore for the SE, so you can keep the boxed set and tin and just trade in the game if you want. So far, it’s $30 trade-in deal, if I remember correctly.

Well status report of DMC 3 is it’s awesome.

They took all the coolness and notched it up like 34 levels of bamitude.

So far I like the Gunslinger style the best, mainly because thats the only style I’ve played as. And as the grandmaster of Gunfu, it naturally appeals to me.

If only it had graphics like Ninja Gaiden. Sigh. Camera is a little goofy sometimes too, but I’m loving it so far. It’s just like DMC 1. It’s not that hard, people just suck at Devil May Cry I guess.

Holy crap dude, I just played THE best game of Madden ever.

Franchise, SF vs Seattle. Game starts out a little dull. 3 and outs, with a pick from Julian Peterson on Hasslebeck in his own endzone (JP doesn’t take it to the house though…). So by the end of the first half, it’s 6-3. Really close.

So fast forward to the 4th quarter where it’s (SF) 20 - (SEATTLE) 13, with 2: 30 seconds left. Hawks hurry huddle all the way up to the endzone and one of my starting MLBs gets injured on the drive. So I have a back up in. They exploit that weakness by firing over the middle to score a TD. So they tie the game up.

They kick it off and I decide I’m going to score with a minute left. I come out and throw a pic. They decide because they’re close to run the ball, so I stack the line and call SS blitzes. I make them lose a couple but it’s still pretty good range. They line up for the last second field goal, they kick it off and it BARELY hits the upright and bounces off. So I just ran it to get into over time.

I went down the field and kicked a field goal for the clutch win. Goddamn that shit was a greatest game of Madden ever. I think I have the right AI settings to make it more realistic. (The CPU actually racked up rushing yards against me instead of throwing every down).

Currently Playing: Midway Arcade Classics 2

Horizon: I hope to own the Tekken Series within the month…

beyond that, not much…basically, I’ve been into fighters ever since I came to SRK…I’m a retrogamer, so I basically stick to classics…

PREVIOUSLY PLAYING: SFAC, CvsS2EO

Web-slinging in Spider-Man 2 has got to be one of the best experiences in all of gaming. Even after doing it all this time, I’m still not sick of it. It is even better when you swing to some of your own music. Sure it is the PS2 version of Spider-Man 2, but I just mute the volume, put on some head phones and listen to some awesome techno trance beats. I was swining to TATU’s Not Gonna Get Us and beating up punks to SNK’s Get Up and Move (AWESOME song. Heard it for the first time last night). I doubt flying will ever be on the same level of awesomeness as web-slinging is in games.

I just recently beaten MGS3:SE. That was an enjoyable experience. I beat the game in about 30 hrs or so.

SPOLIER

The sequence in MGS 3 where you get chased by the shagohod is one of the best if not the best sequences I have seen in a game.
The music gets you really into the chase scene. When you get control of Snake you will be in the sidecar of Eva’s motorcycle…with unlimited ammo. Shoot anyone and everyone who is in the way. Please use the rocket launcher that is so much fun. Especially since u have unlimited ammo

T5 is golden. I really like Feng Wei and Asuka. I enjoy Askua alot since she has good set of combos you can unleash. Feng is a quick SOB. But I won’t be playing it until i finish xenosaga 2. thank god i am renting this average game.

Made lots of progress on I-Ninja. Cleared the second and third areas completely, and have earned both the black belt and the soul sword (best one in the game). Since I’m off work today, I’m prolly gonna try to beat it tonight.

I’m playing Chrono Trigger atm, but I won’t whine about how seminal it is or give spoilers since you have all probably heard more than enough about it already.

Ok, so I’m ten years behind, but DreamSnes runs it so well I couldn’t resist.

Currently playing Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. It’s a fun game, so I now play it frequently.

I too have progress in I-ninja. I have bid for a copy on Ebay :smiley: It ends in 2 days. Hopefully I wiill be teh winnar, and move one step closer to actually playing the game!

anyway, is it still fun??

Man!! that game was serious. I liked the linking system where u can do instant kills. The boss battles though had its ups and downs but overall it was still good title.
