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

well now its the weekend, and summer will be here soon, so -should- have nothing to do and have all my free time to complete them :smiley:

as for wasting a small fortune, alot of them are bought bare cart only, no box or anything, used (which is usually alot cheaper) and Pockemon Ruby and Bomberman Jetters are ROMs anyways.

as for the ps2 games, they were all bought used or just burned.

now that i think about it I hardly ever buy games new (the exceptions being Onimusha 3 & FF Crystal Chronicles) :confused:

I’m really behind on things here…
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker --STILL on the first castle level where Link must find his sword.
True Crime - still just on the first mission where you can do what you want. I stopped here, because it’s just too fun to cruise around doing random shit to innocent people, and stopping random crimes.

Prince of Persia–didn’t get far…I think I left off where Prince meets that hot broad for the first time, and is chasing after her…

Ikaruga --don’t think I’ll EVER beat it. I don’t care what anyone says about ā€œhardcoreā€, the developers went overboard on this shit. I don’t remember games ever being this hard at all. Even Ninja Gaiden 1…NG was only borderline impossible because of one jump situation.

Phantasy Star Online --only because it can never truly be completed. At least…not the legit way:p Even cheating doesn’t kill the experience…at least not for me. I’ll pick up an Action Replay soon for even more fun…actually, there’s no telling how long this game will last…especially since a few people actually set up their own servers! (yep…that means Dreamcast PSO has been resurrected!!!LOLLLL this thread is old as hell.)

Hitman 2-- never got past the first mission. It’s a great game; I just have too many other games, and not enough time for them all. I forgot I even had this game.

and tons of Xbox games…cuz I don’t have Xbox yet. I hear rumor of a price drop around e3…perhaps that will be my time…
*I’m in the FUTURE, playing Xbox 360 for the past few years!!

I don’t think you should wait to buy one (xbox) cos I heard the next batch won’t have a hard drive. What the fuck?

that’s crap…it can’t be true:mad:

I remember I had one for 1 day. That’s kind of a long-winded story that ends with me being extremely pissed off, and forever avoiding a certain ā€œfriendā€.

–on a sidenote…it sucks that I will just end up using an Action Replay(bought for PSO) to get to fight the true last boss of Sonic Heroes. They really made the process of getting the emeralds too damn frustrating. I have 4 out of the 7, and I’m sure that 7th one (*I have the 1st three, and the last one)was pure luck. Beating the game with all 4 teams should be enough to face the real last boss…not actual collection of the emeralds.

Still, I gotta rank Sonic Adventure 2 as the toughest Sonic game ever made. Those item hunt stages just made me want to smash something all the time. Knuckles’ under water stage was the worst of all, and I didn’t even know about his underwater breathing powerup until AFTER I miraculously made it through.
I ended up smashing the SA2 game disc with a hammer one day.(due to unbelievable cheating from the final boss though…not item hunt)

I remember i heard it from X-Play so who the fuck knows :confused:

Woo hoo! I’m finally done with EX+@, beating Arcade mode with all the fighters, even the four hidden fighters (used a code to unlock them). The Clcliod fighters are an interesting pair. Beta is my fav of the two. Seems to be a combination of Ryu/Ken and some other fighters. I’m glad I finally finshed the game with all fighters, but I really did enjoy my time with EX+@. Wish me luck on finding a copy of EX2+.

I’m still working on Mario & Luigi but I haven’t played it in days. Was too occupoed with EX+@. Enemies are finally give me 30+ EXP and good cash so saving money isn’t a problem for me anymore.

I need another game to play. I thought about playing KOF '99 or Splinter Cell. Or maybe something else. Decisions, decisions.:bluu:

Bumpage.

I’m going through the missions in GGXX right now. 37 down, 13 to go :D. Once I get home after work I think I shall continue my game in Vandal Hearts 2.

I’ve basically been collecting. Sucks, I wouldn’t be surprised if I quit collecting and playing altogether.

I tried to do a thread like this and nobody posted! :mad: Anyway this’s what I’ve been playing lately…

>Ninja Spirit (TG16)_

Ever since I started my very own Megaman discussion thread, and ppl like The Damned, Remy Saotome and fishje was there alot, the Megaman fan I once was half a decade ago had made a big comeback.
After 3 months, I finally beat Rockman and Forte (SFC). 4 days ago I beat it for the first time with Megaman, and just earlier today, I did it with Bass. Didn’t get many CD’s though. What’s the use of the CD’s if you can’t read Japanese?

Now I’m attempting Megaman X7, and that Lava Hyena or something like that had me on the floor cracking up!

BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN!

Burn to the ground!

BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN!
:lol: :lol:

For the pictures. The drawings are pretty cool, IMO. Also, just for completeness.

And thnx for the nod.

These days I’m playing Morrowind, and anything in the vein of Baldur’s Gate…BG:DA2 is pretty good, and I’m really enjoying Champions of Norrath. Still waiting for Halo 2 to come out so I can enjoy some more FPS action, tho.

Nice to see some BOFIII love going on here. It was one of my fav games in 1998. I still need to play my copy of BOFIV. I’ll get around to it sometime.

I’m still working on Mario & Luigi but I needed another game to go along with playing that. My friend Lucas suggested Prince of Persia while I was talking to him on PM. I really thought about starting Splinter Cell (the first one) but he told me PoP should only take me about 7-8 hours to finish. So I think I’ll play PoP.

lmfao :lol: :lol:

I played some KOF '99 this morning. It is really going to take some getting used to. The button commands are pretty similar to SF but I still seems odd for me to be playing a 2D fighter that many characters have been familiar with for years, but I hardly know them. Well if I’ve played SF I can surely play KOF '99.

I just rented Rainbow six 3 for PS2.
Goddam that game is good.
Its really realistic. It sort of feels like What GRAND THEFT AUTO should be like if it goes to 3-D. This game is seriously scary how realistic it is sometimes. Of course it helps if you smoke magical herbs first. Major adrenaline in this game. This game is totally worth buying.

Yo InVeRs3 if you bought Socom 2 then get as much money as you can for it and buy Rainbow Six 3. If your talking about Socom 1 then keep it, but IMO, Two is not that good Even for online playing.
Rainbow Six 3 is PS2 best shooter IMO. This shit is like Golden eye and Grandtheft Auto put together. The first two missions are not that impressive, then there is bad ass oil refinery and then you half to go into a house Tony Montana style. just gets better and better. The AI are pretty sharp too.

I’ve decided to finish Mega Man X6. I started the game a while ago and have already defeated most of the mavericks. I’m just stuck on Metal Shark’s stage. Having trouble with this long jump. I think I need to go back to another stage and get some armor so I can clear the jump. Time to head to planet-megaman.com.

Ragnarok and res evil outbreak…Soon to be fight night

Continuing the ā€œgames you have’nt completedā€ theme, I have got pretty far in the following games, but due to drop-off in interest or the console being hidden in loft, I have yet to finish them:

Breath Of Fire 2 - I have got all the way to the final dungeon, but have’nt entered it yet. Pisses me off that my united characters will probably be killed in the final dungeon by cheap one-hit attacks, because I have all the shamans, and have made the best possible combinations.

Super Mario RPG - This game had too much wandering around for my liking, and even though the battle system is well implemented, the whole game seems to ā€œkiddyā€ for my liking. I guess if Landstalker and FF7 are the first RPG’s you have ever played (and completed!), then you will have high expectations.

Chrono Trigger - Now I know this will attract alot of flak from die-hard CT fans, but I’ve fallen out of love with this game. The Rubble/boss orb trick makes it majorly broken, right now I’m 1/5 of the way through the Black Omen, and ALL my chars (including Magus) have ALL techs (doubles + triples) PLUS I have a bad habit of charming rare armor/items from enemies, then exiting the room and respawning them, so I can charm from them again! :lol:

Super Metroid - Just like Revenge Of Shinobi, this has an IMPOSSIBLE jump in the middle of one of the levels. Shit just ruined it for me.

Metal Gear Solid 2 - I have actually finished this game (rushed through to see the ending), and am playing through the second time. But this time, i’m collecting ALL the dog tags, so i have to be a lot more careful (no-kills). I’m currently 1/4 of the thru Raiden’s section. I hated the bit with him running around naked (still funny to see an armed soldier getting owned by a naked guy with one hand covering his balls :lol: )

Gran Turismo 3 - I won every single race up until the Turbo Challenge, then get placed third in the Test Course Race, of all things. Kinda annoying when you’ve got Gold medals in all the other races. Guess my good ol’ modded Mazda MX-7(j) just is’nt good enough. Click here for more details.

Splinter Cell - Because of my MGS2 stealth obsession, I’m trying to do a ā€œno-killsā€ policy throughout the whole game. It’s not easy in the latter part of the game, when simply opening a door will guarantee a hail of bullets coming your way.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - The Steal ability is way broken in this game. Some of my characters are so over-powered, it’s not even funny. My Marche is currently a Ninja/thief with doublesword and strikeback abilities - this basically means that any time he is attacked, he attack will AUTOMATICALLY miss, and Marche will counterhit the enemy twice instead! Reached mission 21 " Materite Now! " then got bored with stupid CPU unit walking straight towards enemy party :wtf:

Advance Wars 2 - Damn good game, partly spoiled by the odd extremely hard mission. I want an S rank in every mission, dammit! Have completed Orange Star and Blue moon campaigns, currently halfway thru Yellow Comet.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Got pissed off with advance wars 2, so fired this up as a diversion. Have’nt even reached the first boss yet (:o),so can’t say much but it looks like it’s going to be good. The critical hit timing is way off from Super Mario RPG, though.

I am currently wasting my life with Fire Emblem. This game seems way too easy after the headaches of advance wars. I like the way units can change classes and morph when they level up. Kinda reminds me of FFTA. Currently at mission 10, will beat it tonight.
