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

Well I have Wild ARMs 2 but I’ve yet to play it. Got it used for $12.99 with instructions and all. My friend says its a good game but comapred to WA1 and WA3, its the worst out of the three. I going to get WA3 soon. Been wanting to play that game for sometime now.

I’ve been playing Illusion of Gaia for SNES lately, that game is class. You can do all kinds of badass stuff in this game, telekinesis, shapeshifting, all in all, it’s a good game. I recommend it if you’ve never played. And if you have played…

If you plan on playing this game, Spoilers Ahead:

WTF is up with your so called friends? Seth has an excuse, but Lance and Lilly just leave your ass. Erik goes home too, the only one who’ll follow you to hell and back is Kara. That’s why Kara owned those fools and becomes Firebird’s living incarnate, to go with Will’s Shadow transformation. :evil:

End Spoiler

BTW, anyone know that this game is really part of the Soul Blader series? Yeah, the order goes like this:

-Soul Blader (Turbo Grafx)
-Soul Blazer (SNES)
-Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
-Terranigma (SNES)

All those games were good, but out of them all, I’m still the most drawn to Soul Blazer. A game where you’re God’s personal assassin=top tier.

I had no idea that there was a game before Soul Blazer. Crazy. I believe I put it in the top 30 of my top 100 games of all time list at my site (omg pimping the site). I’m just chillin with some SSX3 right now because I’m pissed at the last boss in Bangai-O :mad:

I have Illusion of Gaia. Great SNES game. So IG is a part of the Soul Blader series, eh? Interesting. I’ve never played Soul Blazer but I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard some music from the game thanks to gamingfm.com. Great stuff.

Illusion of Gaia was the first RPG I could beat in 1 sitting.

Did anyone actually like Secret of Evermore? I never beat Secret of Mana, but Evermore was the only game I beat with the “Seiken Densetsu” gameplay engine.

I found Secret of Evermore to be annoying and unpleasant in plot, dialogue, and gameplay. I never finished it.

For some reason I’m getting a feeling that sometime in the next couple to few years, we’ll finally get to see Terranigma on either GBA or Nintendo DS. But I guess I could be wrong if Quintet (the series’ developer) is dead.

YAY I HAVE POWER!!! Stupid thunderstorms. Quintet was top tier, I demand Robotrek 2!!!

Dear God, you actually BEAT Secret of Evermore?! The government’ll probably kidnap you and experiment to figure out what gives you such high mental tolerance to be able to withstand that crap. :lol:

Nothing farther from the truth. :lol:

I beat it however. It was a pain to play through the game… It was horrible, but I had to play through it since it was given to me as a gift. The menus, the hit detection, the overall feel… It felt unpolished, especially since I played through Secret of Mana first.

I never quite understood about the SvC Chaos-esque hate for Evermore, I thought it was aight. Is it because it’s not Japanese made? :stuck_out_tongue: Nah j/k but seriously, what was wrong with it? I once thought it was a stupid game cuz I was getting frustrated with that bug boss seen on the game’s cover. But then it started getting fun once I learned to beat him.

God I’ll never forget that one town where you have to go on a uber trading spree to get a certain item, heh buy a scarab, for a Moxa Stick, for perfume, for some chickens. And some FF characters (Cecil and a few FF6 characters) make cameos.

The Cryo Blaster for the bazooka found in Omnitopia (the final stage) is the root of RPG end-game brokenness in SoE.

Gotta disagree with that. Energizer alchemy + Laser Lance = 999 damage hits every 2-4 seconds :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t really understand the hate either. It’s nowhere near as good as Seiken Densetsu 3, but its an alright game in it’s own right. Of course, this is coming from a guy that likes FF Mystic Quest :smiley:

:lol:

I thought Dragon Warrior was better.

Oh, most definitely.

I’ve gone back to GTAIII and I’ve realized that causing trouble in the tank in this game is better than Vice City. Still, Vice City is the better game but GTAIII is still fun.

I also bought the entire Vice City OST. Man, I love the music in that game. What sucks is that at least 1 song from some of the CDs is missing For Ex. Flash is missing “One Thing Leads To Anoter,” one of my fav songs. At least “Your Love” is on there. That song owns. I may listen to the VC OST while I play GTAIII.:smiley:

Onimusha 2

Hilarious Actually, you are not the only one going back to GTA3 with the tank about to go on a massacre. I have done so again today, and I must say - I have caused more havoc and destruction ever with cheats and such to enable the tank, weapons, and all the gold I want in the game.

Hmm, I suppose I should ask what mission your on to GTA3. My curiousity somtimes gets the best of me.

Damn Reggie you’re on a roll with all these games aren’t ya?:smiley:

I remember one boss on SoE that pissed me off badly, it was that rat that just sits on a table and throws magic every 3 seconds while you’re trying to charge up your spear. You spend most of the fight bobbin’ and weavin’ around the room trying to avoid it, but it’s hard cuz he throws many different spells beyond short fuse and you don’t know where that flame or lightning bolt could hit next, you could just walk right into it. Argh teh randomness!

I’ve played Secret of Evermore. I thought it was a good game. I don’t know why it gets such a bad rap.

On The GTAIII front, I’m now on the second island in the game. And causing havoc in the tank is WAY more fun than it was on the first island. I can get up to 5 stars on my wanted level, which gets the FBI on my back. I find it funny that when they try to stop me they insist on ramming me, which blows their cars up. Oh and it also kills other innocent pedestrians and gives me more money. That’s another thing I really like in GTAIII - you get money for blowing up cars. You didn’t get jack for that in Vice City. I hope they bring that back in GTA: SA.

As for going through the games on a roll, well Famicom (nostalgic name for some reason :smiley: ) I still think I could be going much faster. When I was a kid (I’m 22 now) I would blaze through games and then quickly move on to the next one. Of course I only had a SNES back then and now there are far too many blasted games out now looks at box/shelf of unfinished/unopened games so it isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Yeah, he was the worst boss in the entire game. I almost destroyed my controller over his brokeness. I decided to stock up on the crush alchemy and spam that over and over and over so that he couldn’t do anything until he died. I felt pretty good despite the straight spam for like 10-20 mins.
