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

Lately I’ve been itching to do some SNES gaming so I broke out Mega Man X2. This game is still fun after nearly 10 years. I managed to collect all of Zero’s parts (now I won’t have to fight him, whew!) and I can’t believe how easy Magna Centipede was. I had less than half energy left and I won the battle only getting hit once. Violen is still super annoying with that huge spike ball of his and Serges is just one messed up Maverick. Of course now that I know their weaknesses (thank you planet-megaman.com) taking the three hunters down isn’t so tough.

As for Mega Man Battle Network 4… I saved ProtoMan and now I have to fight him in the Blue Moon Tourney. He has 1000 HP and the fool can only be damaged after he attacks. Did I mention he’s really fast? Up yours, Capcom.:bluu:

Phantasy Star Online for X box is 2 good. Does anyone here play this online? I plan to beat Episode 1 and 2 on all difficulties b 4 going online cuz I heard the monsters online are hard to beat.

I was cleaning out my closet, and I just uncovered more great video tapes of my gameplay I forgot I had done a few years ago. here’s what I’ve yet ran into:

Tape 1

  • beating the last part of Final Fantasy III. The REAL Final Fantasy III for 8-bit NES in Japanese.
  • beating “Ikari III: The Rescue”
  • Final Fantasy V, Super Famicom in Japanese. Beat Exdeath tree form, but I didn’t beat Neo-Exdeath, but just catching the mass intensity of fighting one of Final Fantasy’s cheapest last bosses on tape was enough.
  • Final Fantasy IX: Same description for FF5. Successfully pwned Trance Kuja and got my ass handed by Necron.

Tape 2:
-Beating Bionic Commando
-Final Fantasy VII: Kicking Sephiroth’s ass
-Final Fantasy VIII: Kicking Ultimecia’s ass, all 4 forms
-Ninja Gaiden 3: Played stages 3-2 all the way up to Clancy’s first form
-Ninja Gaiden 2: Played stages 1-4

Tape 3:
-Many many Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Dreamcast matches me and my hotel mates recorded in the room at East Coast Championships 8 last year
-So-so MvC2 combo exhibition by yours truly
-Beating "Forgotten Worlds " on Sega Genesis
-Final Fantasy 2/4: Kicked Zeromus’ ass.

And the recent video game tape I made:
> I taped Evolution 2k3 3rd Strike (EI! EI! EI! EEEIIIII!!!) and CvS2 matches
> Couple CvS2 “illegal” C-Groove combos with Yun, Benimaru and Haohmaru
> Rockman & Forte finishing Megaman’s game from beginning to end.

haha…I haven’t done that in awhile. I still have a few old tapes of:
-myself playing Tekken 3…regular Arcade and then Survival modes.
-Soul Calibur…same deal.
-Phantasy Star Online(v.1) for Dreamcast. --I recorded my battle with Hard-level Dark Falz. I was playing as my first PSO character ever; Ultimate A.I. Ultimate’s succesor was Perfect A.I. on the Gamecube version. I may get to the storyline aspect of these characters later on:D The problem is…I hardly play “PerfectAI” anymore, because the Force characters are just so damn fun and easy to level up. With an android…offline and solo…you’d be playing the game forever just to wear Electro Frame(lv.122 requirement). Perfect is still only 68 for now.

-I also recorded Project Justice and Rival schools…and yeah…part of the reason was the lovely Hinata:sweat:

-I recorded a few things from Sonic Adventure…I think it was just the last battle against Perfect Chaos…and those cut-scenes from various parts of the game.

-I just remembered one of my favorites…I had all the cinemas from Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain on tape. That’s one of my favorite games of all time there. I wish I was Kain…the possibilities of such power would be endless…

I forgot I used to have tapes of my MvC2 playing before I knew about the tournament style play. I recently saw one of them, and they were so terrible, I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard for eons. It was hilarious considering at the time I used to think I was a badass at the mall at MvC2, and then got a rude awakening at my first tournament.

I finally got all As with Knuckles on Sonic Adventure 2. The only character left for me now is Sonic, but I’m not at all looking forward to getting As on Crazy Gadget or Final Rush. That shit’s gonna be hell.

I also still have to get those damned Chao emblems. Fuck Chao!

I did the same thing. I looked at an old MvC/MvC2/XMvSF/KOF tape, and it was embarassing. :lol:

EDIT: The Tekken 2/3 tapes were still good, though. :smiley:

Me and my friend used to tape our GGXX fights. They look like pure shit compared to our skills now :frowning:

GWAHAHAHAHA I OWN YOU :smiley:

Well on Mega Man X2 on SNES I beat all the Mavericks except for Bubble Crab. I have all the Heart Containers and all of Zero’s parts. All I gotta do now is beat get the last Sub Tank, beat Bubble Crab and beat the game. After I’m done with this I may get back to Battle Network 4 goans:bluu:

Bumpage.

I finally beat ProtoMan in Battle Network 4 a few days ago. Now I have to stop a blizzard that Cold Man started because the grown ups are too chicken to do anything about it.

While playing Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors, I discovered that Gotenks is power house. On LV 1 his Kamehameha took down 99% of Trunk’s life bar. Even his regular combos do serious damage. Only problem is you have to finish your fights with Gotenks fast before the fusion wears off.:bluu:

playin doom 3. so far it’s better than i thought it would be. u need a pretty good comp to run this thing smoothly. graphics are incredible.

Playing Drakengard at the moment.

Gameplay is somewhat repetitive, but the weapons have cool names/back stories behind them. Music also has VERY short cycles so it can get quite annoying some tims.

Got two SLAMMIN Japanese 8-bit Famicom games. First of all I got an actual copy of Capcom’s “Tenchi wo Kurau/Destiny of an Emperor 2”. And I also got this fighting game called “Joy Mech Fight”, it’s a very solid fighter for an 8-bit system, but it’s sorta on the cutesy side, typical of alot of Japanese games, but it’s still awesome, I beat the game on my first try, but beating a 1 player game is long and tiresome compared to beating your average fighter 1 player in 15 minutes or so. It’s a cross between Megaman and Street Fighter. It has 5 stages, and in each stage you have to beat 8 enemies.

Click for some pictures of Joy Mech Fight. it’s actually the game’s ending.

Phantasy Star Online:: Mystic Acquisition, Birth of a Terrible God
At last, a long journey had come to its end. The Chojin cut a path through all the monsters of Ultimate Forest. Soul of a Blacksmith offered excellent experience with at least 50,000+ points in around 12 to 13 minutes.

This last stage of Chojin’s evolution was a long time in the making. The 2 Hildelts that guarded the boss portal lay there dead. A fight with Sil Dragon would be enough to put Chojin right at level 152. He stepped into the portal with the Club of Laconium, and a quick cast of Resta to recover lost hit points…the time for ascension was now.

The first 2 Foie shots miss, somehow…still, the Sil was not as much of a threat anymore. Chojin ran just out of range of the Sil’s ice breath. Keeping to the creature’s left side, the legendary Force continued a fiery assault of magical energy. Sil flew up, and dove into the ground. With a close eye on the area map, Chojin easily dodged Sil’s burrowing attacks. Sil suddenly bursts up from the frozen tundra and into the air. One final shot is all it took…the Sil landed, and fell over.

Chojin stood proud over the slain beast. A surge of power suddenly tore through his very soul. Yes, this was it…Ascension. The Chojin was now level 152! The Aura Field appeared around his body…this mystical blue energy radiated from him like the flames of the underworld.
"This is it…nothing can stop me now! I have the power of a thousand stars! Who would stand against me?! The Chojin power is absolute…I…am…forever!"
The laughter of a madman pierced the silence…

I guess I should go back to my FFX. Mine isn’t completed to my satisfaction, however, I have been making progress just recently…

I was out shopping today and picked up the following:

Mega Man X7
Command & Conquer (PS1)
Contra: Shatter Soilder

I was itctching for some good 2D action and Contra: SS for PS2 seemed to be getting rare around here so I figured I picked it up now so I wouldn’t beat myself up over it later. I got it used with instructions.

As for MMX7, yeah I hear how some people hate it but I’m a HUGE MM buy so I buy any and all MM games.

SHUDDER I never want to see this shitty game again…

Anyways, I’ve only been playing Fire Emblem and Marvel vs Capcom 2. Fire Emblem… Damn this shit OWNZ. I totally screwed up my first game 20 hours into it, so I started a new one, and it doesn’t feel like a chore at all. As for MvC2, I stopped playing MSP because my Storm is just terrible. So lately I use either Rowtron, or Mag/Sent/Doom.

Wow. I mean, wow. Contra: SS is SUPER hard. I played it with my brother-in-law and we got our butts handed to us. Even with the 30 Lives code the game is still tough. I like the game but man, is it difficult.:eek:

I don’t want to start another Mega Man game until I finish Battle Network 4 groans :bluu: So I’m gonna hold off on MM Zero 2 and X7.

A friend of mine had me and a few of the other guys over on Sunday to try out a game that he’d just bought: Cel Damage. While the computer AI can be frustrating at times, the game was fun as hell. It’s like Mario Kart meets Twisted Metal, on crack and acid simultaneously. I was playing the purple-haired goth-ish chick named Violet, she drove something that looked like a cross between a tank and a Hummvee.

Anyway, damn fun game. Haven’t been playing anything at home right now, though. A family emergency of sorts came up.

Playing Far Cry atm…

AI is pretty good, graphic is really nice, the control is a bit shaky tho.
