The "Currently Playing" Game Thread-Discuss Your Games, Vent, Give Props, etc

There is dynasty warriors for PC? Is the game still broke like the first 2 games.

I just picked up God of War today. Man this game is pretty brutal. Not even through the first level yet, but I can already tell this game is gonna be awesome.

I want that game(God of War) so much…it’s too bad I’d have to get a Sony system to get it…I’ll probably get the ps3 if it comes out later this year or something…or perhaps a pawnshop ps2. Dammit, if only Sony’s hardware quality weren’t always so questionable…it would be a nearly perfect system. The games are awesome…the system itself is the problem.

Have any of you tried beating the action game in tekken 5, That is the most annoying game i have played in a long damn time. The only reason im playing it is bc i need the money to get my Bruce his new costume but I starting to think its not worth the 100, 000 gold pts. Why do people insist on making shitty side games that are essential to the main game…I hate jumping in this stupid game.

El

^million, GOW is a fucking amazing game and it is worth buying a shitty ps2 to play.

I’ve now finished both Lauren and Malcolm’s Tournament Ladders, unlocking Brock and Gorge. I’ve discovered that I really like Malcolm. His Sentinel skill is fucking cool, and Homing is okay too. I also like both of the Juggernauts (Arclite and Gorge), and Selket. I still really like Lauren stylistically, but skills and abilities wise she just seems really weak.

Picked up the following today:

-Bombastic $10 new (PS2)
-Chu Chu Rocket $6.99 used (GBA) Still haven’t played my DC ver.
-Advance Guardian Heroes $20 new (GBA) Never played the original on the Saturn but I was curious. I already know what some haters have said but I figured I’d try it myself.
-Mega Man Zero 3 $20 new (GBA)

BROCK’s tournament complete in UC2. It’s really kind of disappointing that there’s apparently not even 1 cinema scene for any character besides the main guy Anubis. I think the least they could do would be perhaps some still pictures for endings, like in the old MKs There’s nothing…but text. Hell, a lot of games just use the real-time graphics engine since today’s graphics look so good anyway…so wny not go that route with everyone else? The regular Anubis cinemas seem to be real-time graphics…they could’ve at least given the others 1 short cinema for an ending…just one.

BROCK is too tight in coolness factor. It gives me Lauren’s abilities with “Fear” instead of wack ass Siphon, and all without having to play as a woman character. Not that I have anything against that…it’s just I can obviously get even more attached to the game environment if my character is a male…just like girls would likely have a better time relating to the game environment/experience by playing Lauren and other female characters.

Overdose can be a real bitch on other maps…there was one super easy one though, where the ball always spawned in just one location…which wasn’t far from the goal. The difficulty of this game is really kinda all over the place…certain things are too easy, and certain other situations just make you want to smash a controller. I finally played Raptor…I guess he isn’t as bad as I assumed…Radar is interesting to have…and whoahhhhh the blast radius of Self Destruct appears to be HUGE. :wow:

I’m up to the Desert of Athens right now in God Of War. I’m not sure if it’ll get redundant as I progress; hopefully there’ll be different enemies and a few more different ways to kill them. Triangle > Triangle > Triangle attack = win buttons. :rofl:

Agreed. I would’ve liked a closing cinema for each character, as well. I understand why the Tournament Ladders don’t get full, fleshed out stories like Ascension Rites, but one movie would’ve been cool. Oh, funny thing… Because of how Acension Rites ends, Selket’s TL is actually her play through of the Ascension Rites, not a real Tournament Ladder like everyone else’s.

As for the robots, I’m not fond of either one. Radar only gives those enemy location markers. Granted, it can see through walls, but that’s it. All of the other vision modes get other extra features, but Radar gets nothing. Homing adds a homing to all ranged weapons, Berserker gets enhanced ROF and damage, Warrior’s Spirit get enhanced ROF and movement speed, Wraith gets enhanced defense and makes it impossible to lock-on, Predator gets greatly enhanced speed and damage to melee attacks, but Radar marks through walls. Woo! Most of the other skills are kinda pointless, too. Upgrade is really slow and costs two bars, though isn’t terrible (I just prefer Heal, myself). Cannibalize damages you to gain ammo (really stupid). Devastation’s Head Turret is okay, but Malcolm’s Sentinel is a much better version. Raptor’s Self Destruct is nice, but kinda a special use skill.

Another thing that I hate about the robots is the way their vision gets worse the more damage they take. The screen slowly gets fuzzier, and eventually turns B&W. While this is a nice touch graphically, it is a problem for combat.

eh, the vision thing for robots near death is interesting to me…it’s not a problem for me so far in the middle of combat…it adds a nice effect to remind you even more that you’re a robot…it’s cool, imo. But yah…the robots seem to have been short-changed when it comes down to adrenaline abilities. Everyone else has better stuff.

heh, there are some cheats after all…I’ll get into that cheat menu later today. I don’t care about “honor” in this case…I just want all the characters…it sucks that I can ONLY get Malcom from Live though.

oh, over at Gfaqs, there’s speculation that at least some of the bots will become playable via dowloadable content in the near future.

I hope so. I’d really like to play as Memphis (kitty Nahkti) and the Skaarj with the Poison Cloud skill. It is entirely possible, too. I read in an interview on GameSpot.com that the designers want to add extra characters as DLable content.

Just started playing Fable.

yeah, and Ra looks tight too, from what I remember.

After some experience with the challenge mode, I have concluded that yet again…there is a certain Gamefaqs member that must’ve been lying his ass off. I saw a thread about Challenge mode and cheating yesterday, and one guy claimed to have beat it all without cheating…which might be believable, sure…until he said “I beat most of them on my first try.” Bull-ass-shit. Get the hell outta here with that. That’s almost as bad as TMOG’s claim of getting a No-Damage Clear on Smash Bros. Melee, Very Hard mode with Pichu.

anyway, I’m currently taking a break…I’m probably about 60% thru challenge mode on UC2 now. I actually did get a few completely fair kills on Raiden a little while ago in the Mortal Kombat challenge.

Raiden is now unlocked. Even utilizing cheats…that took awhile, cuz sometimes I was trying to beat certain challenges without cheats. There was one towards the end that I won fair and square…I forgot what it was though…maybe one of the CTFs,

SO3, back from Styx, on Elicoor II now.

SH:C, just started disc 2, at the warehouse in Japan.

Counter Strike, DMC3, City Of Heroes, and Pong. Yes, fucking Pong.

God of War, God Mode for the second time, can’t get enough of this fucking game.

bought Gradius 5. I hate myself for not buying this sooner, this game is fucking awesome

Wait a minute, some fool said he got a No-Damage Clear on SSB Melee with PICHU? Man, I wish I knew where this jerk lived so I could take a metal bat to his groin.
:lame:

Anyway, I just picked up Mega Man X Command Mission on PS2. I’m not sure whether to play it, Zero 3 or Advance Guardian Heroes first.

And yes, Gasaraki, Gradius V is shmup utopia. Let me know if you can get past stage 5 with few deaths. Keep that Advil handy! :tup:

I have this game, one of my most valued ps2 games. :tup:

Gradius V is tha shit!

Hard shooter though. The enemies and gunfire hog up all the space on the screen just to see yourself eventually get helplessly surrounded.
