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

I’m playing these for the PC:
The Dig, Sam & Max hit the road, Grim Fandango.

On the PS2, I’m playing:
God of War, Sly 2, Jak 3 (Replaying after I unlocked infinite ammo, yippe!), Street Fighter III 3rd Strike.

I’m soon to start playing on the PS2:
Vampire/Darkstalkers Collection

playing Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete

I’m thinking about picking up Star Ocean 3. Does anyone have good RPG’s to recommend me?

Quick Question : Can you go online with a modded PS2?

Star Ocean 3 is pretty good. Although the Plot Twist is pretty strange (once you find out it’ll possibly change your opinion about the game). Theres alot to do and it definatly has depth. Give it a shot.

Add R&C GC to that list and you’ll be a god among men. :china:

I’m REALLY enjoying Warioware: Twisted! now. Thing is, the game is hard for me to play after work because I’m all sore and worn out. The game requires fast reflexes in your arms with the twisting and all. After a hard day’s work, my reflexes are slow and I suck at the microgames.
:tdown:

On Saturday I spent more cash I shouldn’t have and picked up Sonic Mega Collection Plus and King of Fighters 2002/2003. I’ve never played either of those entries in the KOF series but they were shipped in small amounts to retailers so I figured I’d better pick those up before they are tough to find just like Mark of the Wolves is.

im interested in that conker game, the demo was pretty fun. graphics looked awesome.

i bought metal slug 3 for xbox, still trying to beat the final level but ill get it done next time i load it up. i really want to try that bonus level.

oh yeah, battlefield 2 is supposed to be in stores. i really need to drive up to best buy and pick that gem up along with my mp3 player. seriously guys, if you loved battlefield 1942 you will eat this shit up.

as for uc2, ill download the updates and add you on my list million if you still play. btw how is it online? lots of players? 3s is still the only thing i play on live, and even then i havent played in like a week i think.

Still playing the original Fire Emblem for the gameboy. That guy Jaffar on here is tight, even got an av on him.

Eh, I always thought of assassins to be one of the worst classes in any Fire Emblem game (sniper being the worst). One-hit-KO sounds nice, but it’s not that reliable, and swordmasters can essentially do the same thing with their insane critical hit rates. I would have liked assassins more if they retained the “steal” ability when a thief gets promoted.

I like Assassins, in Sacred Stones I’ve had Colm maxed out and as an Assassin since like…Chapter 10, probably earlier. They’re very difficult to hit, do solid damage, and can basically destroy every attack type. Seriously…they are near impossible to kill. The problem with Swordmasters is they take too much damage, and theres really nothing special about them. Sure, the critical hit thing is nice (I liked Guy in the first one myself) but after that they just job. It’s not even guaranteed, if they don’t critical on the first hit they usually take major damage. I think the worst class is Pegasus Knights…and then the Wyvern Riders. Wtf…units that are weak to support units…they don’t have much HP so they usually die to the front line chars too. Sure, they have high resistance, but so do Mages, so why not just use Mages instead? I consistently never use Pegasus Knights. Snipers are an okay class, but again, Mages all do everything better than them. My team makeup leans a bit towards mages, because not only can they dish out the damage extremely well, they usually can heal too. I throw in like a knight or two or some other strong defense units as blockers basically against physical attacks.
Anyway, back to Assassins, I honestly think they’re one of the best units. Their only weakness is a lower attack, but you can use like one or two items to solve that (they max out at 20 though for their strength). Colm is Jaffar in Sacred Stones…try him out sometime. Stealing is near worthless in Stones anyway.

I did a One-hit-KO against a very strong boss on this game. I only use assassins for their speed and attacks, but the sword masters can do that also (if not better.)

I hate it when I have to deal with thieves. They take my treasure; steal items from the chest, etc. And those guys with the axes keep destroying houses/towns/etc.

Some guy shot one of my Pegasus Knights down far, far away. I was like “the hell”? Yeah, I don’t use Pegasus Knights or Wyvern Riders because they are weak against arrows and such…

I’m on the last chapter on Fire Emblem 1. Once I beat it, I’ll go buy FE: Sacred Stones…

I made Colm a Rogue since “pick” is one of the best abilities in the game. If I want an assassin I’ll make Marisa one because swordmasters are now a mid-tier class in SS.

As for the peg knights… yeah, they blow. I use them anyway because I like to have a lot of flying units out there for movement purposes. I promote the fliers as follows: Vanessa --> Falco Knight; Tana --> Wyvern Knight (she gets good resistance and luck for a Wyvern Knight); Cormag --> Wyvern Lord.

For magic, I make Lute a Sage and Ewan branches off in to a Shaman then Summoner. I don’t really need them though, because L’Arachel is just plain ber in that game. Seriously, her stat gains are amazing.

booya i beat mslug3. now that fucking bonus level is sort of hard. whos top tier? the bazooka guy?

btw million, the lag is still shit, and hardly anyone online to play it. damn first time im disappointed by epic… anyways i sent you a friend request.

Finally picked up Metal Gear 3. Awesome game. :tup:

yeah, I’ve noticed there’s not that many games to choose from on uc2 when I do “Optimatch”. Thanks for the friend request…I might be on tonight. Hopefully they’ll release the patch soon…as well as more playable bots. We still don’t have Mirage, Corrosion, Ra, and a few others. I’m more interested in Ra and Mirage. I hope Corrosion has some different aiblities…it would be terrible to have 3 pallette swap Raptors all with the same exact abilities. Not only is that boring, it’s a waste of a good opportunity to make one or both of those alternates true “new characters”…it’s also bad because who the hell wants to play those robots with those sad ass adrenaline abilities? Self Destruct is the best unique thing they(Raptor/Szvygy) have.

*I finally found my Halo2. It disappeared for a few days…that’s another aspect of my apparent “jinx” aura…things usually disappear around me when I want or need them.

heh…I’ve learned the hard way now to always use Fear on any Selket players…their Flash ability just totally screws you up if they catch you with it…heh, it’s just like the Solar Flare in DBZ.

Borrowed Growlanser Generations so I’m playing G2 right now, Soon as Atelier Iris comes out next week I’ll be playin that too

Shield guy. Being able to block > *. You just have to be a bit patient, since you will then be mostly relying on the CPU teammates to kill stuff, and they’re not too bright.

Just beat Dracula XX on my Super Famicom.

I guess I should take a stab at Symphony of the Night, after all it is part of the Dracula X branch of the CV series. And to think I never quite got along with the Metroidvania thing.

how long is it anyways? i got near the end of hallway with the red spiders i think.
