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

Just putting this out there again. Still haven’t picked it up. You guys hear anything about this?

The levels aren’t the problem. It’s the bosses. They go from being mad easy to hard as fuck, and back again. That shit is stupid. The first DMC was the shit cause it ramped the difficulty up but did it evenly. This one didn’t. Plus, if you want to buy health, it becomes so stupidly expensive that you have to go back through the levels in order to get enough orbs just to buy one star. That shit is retarded.

I’m not saying they should make the game super easy. I like challenging games, but making them uneven like this is really fucking stupid. You’re the first person I’ve talked to that’s disagreed with what I’ve had to say about it. So I’ll say that makes you wrong. LOL JK


Just beat Fire Emblem: TSS. Not only is this game easy, it's also short. I can't say that I didn't like it, but when it comes to challenge and replay value, I prefer the first one more. 

Well, time to start up another file with the other main Lord in the game.

i finished mgacid after buying it 3 days ago. it was worth my 40 bux just for the story, but come on, if it takes me 3 days to beat a game it should be cheaper, way cheaper.

You’ve just experienced the phenomenon known as rubber-band AI. Apex had that too.

Anyway, I fired up Seiken Densetsu 3 on ZSNES and remembered why I stopped playing it for a while. Got killed by some cheap shit(got killed by a Wolf Devil who, for some ungodly reason, managed to pull off a Seiryu Death Fist, killing my party, then it died a second later.)

Don’t forget NBA Jam from back in the day.

“Hey I’m down by 20! Now I can make shots from halfcourt whenever I want!”

:lol: Ah, the memories.

^and that’s why I stopped playing certain games like Blitz, NBA Jam, or any racing game unless it was against real people. At least a human opponent is playing by the same damn rules…e.g.–no “I can break thru ALL your tackles!” or “Everytime I touch you it’s a FUMBLE!” bullshit in Blitz.

the new next-gen Blitz looks incredible, btw.

More Destroy All Humans fun!
-While playfully tossing a truck around with my telekinesis powers today, it just seemed to randomly burst into flames! Hah, that was awesome.

-I stacked 2 bodies on top of a burnt out, still-smoking police car. (*cool detail, btw…the way the car blew up, and just kept smoking…dark clouds everywhere) The funny glitch—I moved the police car, but the bodies remained…so, there were 2 bodies just laying in midair. I could even stand on top of them, as if the car was still there.

-I also put a tractor on top of a barn…and slammed some chickens into the wall of course.

-the last cow I killed was a good one…I lifted it into the air, and then brought her down hard on the pickup truck…right on her neck! CRUNCH Ooooh that’s gotta hurt!

-It’s funny to read people’s thoughts while they’re shooting at you.

y’know, since moving, I still haven’t hooked my Gamecube up yet! With Unreal Champ2, the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 I just got, and now the Destroy All Humans demo, my Gamecube playin’ days may be over permanently, unless my PSO/Viewtiful Joe addiction flares up again. It’s sad that there’s only 2 real titles to look forward to this year for GC—Zelda, and MAYBE Geist.

–Lego Star Wars is also on that Xbox demo disc…but it’s surprisingly just not as fun as I thought it would be. I still may pick it up one day when it’s a super cheap price.(15 bucks or less)

-Why in the blue hell is Okami NOT a DS title?! It’s just weird what kind of thought process went on behind the scenes there…game with innovative calligraphic strokes for use as attacks and other things…hmm…DS…nah…let’s put it on Ps2! It just seems like the opposite of a natural conclusion. Really, how many Ps2 fans are seriously into “different” and “original” games anyway? When I think of the average ps2 gamer, I can’t help but see the stereotype that comes to mind—“Ay yo when dat new Madden comin out dawg!? Shit look tight mayne.”

Final Fantasy Tactics Advice. Almost done with it.

That rubberband AI is fucking stupid.

Okay, I see what you mean now. I misunderstood your post earlier (I though you were saying that fresh weapons = too hard; maxed weapons = too easy). Yeah, I can agree that the shop items start getting way too expensive. But that doesn’t ruin the game for me, I still enjoy it.

Agreed. I may even not buy the PS2 version in hopes of a later DS release. I know that the graphics would have to be toned down (significantly), but that game just screams for touch screen input.

Hugs his PS2


Started playing OutRun2 again. Holy shit, more people need to play this online. It's fucking dead in that lobby.

I was thinking about picking this up since the tracks from Super GT and Daytona 2 are in the game. It’s probably pretty cheap by now too. Too bad AM2 never updated the arcade racers for the Xbox, I was really hoping they would. Instead we get Shenmue 2 (the only AM2 game I don’t really care for). I’ll probably trade-in DMC3 for it since I barely play the game anymore and I’ll be improting 2nd Runner which was a far superior action game.

Playing Shenmue II again. This game is sooooo tight. I don’t understand why this game didn’t sell a million copies. It reminds me of the PC games from the mid 90’s but with more interaction.


It's $20 everywhere now. Get it, please, because honestly, the only people I encounter in the lobbies are Europeans. They're cool guys, but it's a shame that I'm like, the only American playing it.

AM2 is the shit.

Well, I tried it when I had about 6 DT slots, and the ability to fly (you know, after buying Air Raid for the Nevan), and it becomes quite easy as a matter of fact.

So Destroy All Humans is still coming out? Good. With a name like that, they’ve caught my interest.

Got my race on with Racing Gears Advance for the GBA. Even though I suck at this game it is good fun. It makes you recall the glory daces of NES racers like RC Pro AM. The controls are excellent and you have to be a master at power sliding on the sharp turns or else everything you’ve worked for is screwed. I’ve only come in 3rd and 4th place in every race so far. Thank God their is a practice mode. The game even has real licensed cars like Hummer and the Lotus.

I didn’t expect to start on my GBA copy of Zelda: A Link to the Past but I guess I was feeling nostalgic. Personally, I think this game is overrated (and Zelda II very underrated) but I can’t help but get sucked into this rich game. It has been YEARS since I’ve played it. I couldn’t even remember many things shortly after Link’s uncle gave him his sword. And the boss that guards the first pendant nearly killed me. I was down to my last heart. But I kept avoid him as he tried to squash me and kept smacking him with my sword and I won. Got the Peguses Boots and I’m in the 2nd dungeon to get the second pendant. It really is great to be playing this game again.

I got it finally, after having played it so many times that both my DT gauge was maxed and I had bought all six of the Blue Orbs that you can get from the shop.

I was using Rebellion to fly. I bought the skill for Nevan, but I just don’t like that weapon very much.

Incidentally, I just beat Lady and got Kalina Ann. Bought it’s two firing speed upgrades and now have every weapon completely maxed as well. All that’s left is to get Royal Guard from lvl 2 to lvl 3, and I’ll have everything maxed.

oh yeah…it should only be a matter of days 'til Destroy All Humans. I forgot the date already, but I know it’s close…but yes, there is no need to fear…the game is coming out. I also was scared it might get canned since there was awhile when there was NO news about it at all, and there’s only a small number of people who care about it or know it even exists, apparently. Might be time for whoever is publishing it (Pandemic, I think?) to start doing this crazy little thing we like to call “hype”. People won’t buy your games if they don’t even know they exist.

The demo is quite restricting though…it’s frustrating. Basically, you learn about reading thoughts of animals and people, kill the cows…then there’s 2 segments where humans attack you(*opportunity to use his electricity gun), and the last thing is to destroy some buildings with the spaceship…

speaking of the ship, I was able to stack the smoldering wreckage of the police car on top of my ship…as well as a body or 2. Of course they disappeared when I got in the ship to use the death ray. That would’ve been funny if they let me fly around with dead bodies on top of my ship.

That last living woman on the stage…I finally got her with the Abduction ray…but I couldn’t get her all the way up into the ship…so…I carried her with that abductor ray for awhile, until we were over the small lake/pond, then I dropped her off there.
