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

late news, I know, but whatever—I heard on G4 recently DS will have a small price drop to 129.99. I’m hoping it will drop again by the time DBZ Supersonic Warriors 2(*Bukuu whatever) comes out. I still think the most a portable game system should cost is 100 bucks. I know the tech on portables is improving…but it’s still a portable system, and I can’t help but see it the way they’ve always been since back in 89/90.

Is Geist out already? People seem to talk like this game already came out…the hell? Where’s the hype? You seriously can’t expect a game to sell if you just “sneak” it out on to the store shelves.

EDIT-------I had a dream last night about playing Unreal Championship 2. Yes, I love the game so much, I even play it in Dreamland. The odd thing, however, is that I was playing as Sapphire for some reason…and I never pick her. I have 0 interest in the character…she’s not even good TnA, imo.(*Selket is the real hotness) In the dream, I was online and DOMINATING with Sapph…which of course is the complete opposite of reality. :sad:

Million, yeah the DS is gonna drop another 30 or so dollars. I think its sometime this month too.

And don’t bother w/Geist. It sucks

^
Geist sounds cool, and I’m gonna play it anyway! And if it does indeed suck, I’ll take it to the game place and trade it in.

Just out of curiousity though, what makes you say it sucks?

And yeah Million, Geist hit stores this Tuesday.

Well I went to the GameStop near my apartment for the first time ever. Was looking for the Sonic Gems Collection. But the fools didn’t have it. So I checked the used PS1 pins and found a copy of the rare Street Fighter Collection. Had to fork over $24.99 but now I finally have a console version of SSFII: Turbo, even thought that is one of my least faves in the SFII line. And Alpha 2 Gold is finally mine as well.

I beat Halo 2 (ending was lame), and moved on to X-men Legends. Fun game but I wish the AI was 100% better.

GGXX#R action at this guy’s house as usual.

Got a 10 win streak with Axl. I can do those Bomber loops real good now.

The TK’s don’t really cut it for me. Quick Counter clockwise 360’s do the trick!

Weird…I was starting to play SF Collection as well (I’m on SSF II right now). :confused:

I’m playing two games right now… old SNES games I’ve never played before, both from series i’ve never tried.

I’m loving it.

Right now i’m playing the SNES version of Star Ocean and i’m also playing Breath of Fire 2.

After that I’m planning to tackle Secret of Evermore and Radical Dreamers.

Radical Dreamers sucked. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure book in video game form. I can’t even say it’s part of the Chrono continuum because there are a lot of plot holes when you compare the stories of Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross.

Okay game to play through once, but after that, never play it again.

Haha, I should probably be an asshole and spoil the biggest surprise in Radical Dreamers, but I won’t.

Choose your own adventure books rock! Heehee. I’d rather deal with a lot of plot holes than deal with not knowing wtf is going on because I haven’t played Chrono Cross yet (it’s at my dad’s house)

I’m really liking Star Ocean… I like how the battles work.

I’d be playing the SNES Fire Emblems but I can not find translations, and I don’t have the patience for playing it sans storyline at the moment… maybe later.

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (FE4) is already translated. The patch is really easy to find through Google.

Ah yes, good ole’ Fire Emblem 4…

Anyway, I picked up Digital Devil Saga the other day - seems pretty cool for the most part.

SCREW SPIDER-MAN 2!! I get to the final battle with Doc Ock and wouldn’t you know it, the makers decided to make it stupidly ridiculous. If Ock grabs you, he beats the living crap outta you and you have to turn off 8 generators. And of course the fusion reactor field is going wild but your spider-sense doesn’t warn you of when it’s going to expand and hit you. And the generators are all over the place so you have to search well for them. And don’t let Ock throw you because you may get thrown in the water.
:rolleyes:

Guess I just don’t have the patience for that crap.

Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous.

Original Star Ocean, huh? Way too easy in some points for my tastes (won’t spoil anything though), but it had/has excellent graphics and sound for the time. Till the End of Time is where it’s at though, that and The Second Story are hardcore.

And do yourself a favor, avoid Radical Dreamers like plague. That game makes me cry on the inside. In fact, go replay Chrono Trigger to purify yourself of the notion of ever playing RD. :rofl:

Just beat RE4 for the second time. Now the wait for something worthwhile to come out begins.

I’m rocking Super Monkey Ball DX right now. Fun game.

Aight so I’m checking out some classic PSX games that i had once played and never finished, and games that i’ve always wanted to get but didnt at the time.

Tactics Ogre: this shit is fuckin expensive, I was looking at Amazon.com and the shit is like $77.

Herc’s Adventures: this game is about $34 and should be less.

I suggest never ever returning games back to stores, especially RPGs because eventually they get high in price and hard to find later on. Keep them shits.


Btw, I’m still enjoying Mercenaries(xbox), too good.

dark stalkers chronicle on dreamcast… too good :slight_smile:

This thread is a taste of what I’ve been playing for the past 2 days.
