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

I’m so loaded in Vice City. I bought Sunshine Auto, which has four garages for me to store my cars in. I’m going to park a tank in there for when I feel like having fun or vigilante missions.:evil: I did all the Porn missions. Man, I felt so dirty doing those. And what mom names their kid “Candy Suxxx”?:lol:

just restarted a game in front mission 3…i forgot how insanely fun that game was, playing it again to hold me over until fm4

For those of you still looking for Serious Sam: Next Encounter, Wal-Mart finally got their shipments in a few days ago.

I suggest giving it a try there!

Good Luck!

You know where its at, except I like to have 2 swords, save the queen (Mostly for the protect) and excaliber. Its funny how easy it is to get a level 99 charecter… Then all the enemies are level 99, and you calculate level 3 holy, hurray, I got up to the 3rd last battle with Ramza alone…then I got owned…stupid Spell.

Anyway, still playing through FFTA, dammit Squenix, what the hell where you thinking? I wish you kept the old system, then I wouldn’t even care about the bad plot. It makes it so hard to gain new classes, and to learn useful spells, you have to equip crappy weapons, arg. Well I figure im almost done…

This weekend, I played more Fighter’s History Dynamite (SAT) and some Serious Sam NE.

Sunday night, a friend and I played KOF 2k3, Street Fighter 2: Turbo and SF3: 3rd Strike, and a bit of SFA3.

Yo RPD Rookie, you still there? Care to recommend me some sidequest GF’s worth picking up in VIII? The Jumbo Cactuar gave me shit ;_;, and I seriously need to add that to my roster (obviously I’m new to FFVIII). Thanks in advance, though I may not be able to read the reply till much later.

I’ve been playing through FFVI too (Minor Spoiler) the sidestory of Terra’s origin, especially that crazy dance, cracked me up

Right now I’m playing through Vandal Hearts 2, Alundra, and Seiken Densetsu 3 (beaten twice already :D). I’m so glad I got that SD3 cart :smiley:

I really like the Vandal Hearts series.

In fact, it’s the only RPG that I will play through until the end. :smiley:

Yeah, great games. Story is soooo much better than FFT.

Sounds like everyone is having a blast with their games. Vice City is a tough game to break away from. I’m going to get back to Mario & Luigi. I don’t know if I’m close to being done yet because I’m playing the game without any sort of guide (Horay for me!:D)

All this talk about tatical RPGs has got me wondering. Has anyone played Kartia for PS1? I’ve seen the game used for $12.99 and thogught about picking it up.

Well, SSBM is going OK, I guess. I have everyone except Mewtwo and Mr. Game & Watch unlocked and only have 3 maps left to get. Trophy-wise, I’ve still a ways to go, and I’ve also only finished 39 of the 51 Events, but they’re secondary to getting my file to the point where some buddies and I can play together.

Ah, SSB Melee. That game is gold. It is one of the few cames I can pop in every now and then and still have a blast playing it. I was so happy when I beat all 51 Events. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in gaming.

Hey has anyone played True Crime: Streets of LA? I thought about buying this game since the price came down to a little less than $30. Any thoughts?

I played Kartia, it’s a really interesting twist on the whole RPG-Tactics genre (started by Shadowrun on SNES, or something like that.) As you probably decoded from the title of the game, you use these cards called “Kartia”, and that consists of all of your magic-casting and familiar-summoning abilities. Magic element wise, all bases are covered and all spells can come to great use. As for the creatures…well, they get stronger as you go along, and some are suited for certain situations. The creature types are as follows: Common, Shadow, Doll. Pitting these creature types against one another is like an on-going game of rock, paper, scissors, as one type beats the other. Also, these Kartia that you use to create magic can also be utilized in crafting equipment for yourself, that you can build in the fray. Unfortunately, as physical attacks are concerned, the game is very basic. No big deal, though.

If you are one of the people who have played Disgaea, but haven’t first played either this or Tactics Ogre…get one of these. Especially if it’s 12.99…you have nothing to lose.

Meh, I’ve been wanting to start a new game in Suikoden 2, but my brother broke my Suikoden 1 copy, and I’d want to beat that again before starting 2. Also, I took a peek at EBGames.com and Gamestop.com, and Suikoden preowned is still going for 20+, it seems. Not that I can’t afford it…it’s the principle of it all.

Playing Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
Good game, but control needs some work. I hate holding R1 to climb things and the jump needs work. They also should’ve removed the slowdown. oh well…
Overall good game from cavia and Sony.

$3.25 people…

What’s $3.25, you might ask? That’s the price that I picked up Thief 2: The Metal Age at. You really gotta stick it to EBGames when it comes to clearances…they don’t announce them, and they keep the same prices posted on their games. I was going to pick Thief 2 up for 9.99, and when I brought it to the counter…“That’ll be $3.25.”

And this game has been a great challenge on Extreme mode…something about an FPS that frowns upon shooting just puts a smile on my face. If you’re sick of FPS’ that encourage throwing yourself mindlessly into battle, and you haven’t played the Thief series yet, you are on drugs.

Ugh. I played a few hours of M&L today. I beat this annoyingly huge crab named Hermie III. It took forever just to get one dumb Beanstar Piece. I should have know that dumb thing would be passed around like a flipping handout paper. Agh!! I need to go killing something. Time for some Vice City.

Playin’ Ragnarok Online like 24/7 :stuck_out_tongue:

How is it compared to FFXI or City of Heroes?

Well I think I’m just about done with Vice City. I’ve done all the pay phone assasination missions all the propery asset missions except the dumb boat yard. Well I better be real close to being finished with this game because I really need to move on to other titles. Maybe I’ll work on Hitman 2 or Splinter Cell next.

Hey, almost nothing rocks more than getting an unexpected discount. :smiley: Especially when it’s over 66% of the price tag.

Great find.

Played some more Serious Sam Next, again. AARRGHH, this one level is so long, it’s crazy! I just left a Chinese temple after making my way up and outside, then I had to make my way around some mountains. The timer said it took me 49 minutes to complete. :eek: The swarms of enemies were a bit more harsh that usual.
