God! I don’t know about y’all, but have y’all been to Target lately?
I copped Final Fantasy X-2 for 17 bucks!
However, until I beat FFX-1, which I got burned out before on cuz of all those damn movies but suddenly got my motivation back up and started a clean slate cuz I learned the sphere system too late in the game and got my ass handed to me by bosses, my copy is staying shrinkwrapped until then.
haha…well, I finally did it: DBZ Supersonic Warriors —during church service. I couldn’t resist…it wasn’t going on for the whole time there…I just played thru Z Battle mode one good time with Frieza. With a GBAsp, sometimes you’re just tempted to play a game in odd places simply because you can. Of course I made sure to turn volume all the way down before turning it on. I got a powerlevel ranking of 24million against either Krillin or Ginyu, I forgot now. These younger generations have it made in terms of portable gaming…I can only imagine how great it must be to start playing DBZ:Supersonic Warriors right there at your desk while the teacher is out for a minute. Back in my day we just had little dinky gamewatches and Tiger handheld games like “College Football”, with bad LCD graphics.
heh, I had Plane and Tank Battle(4th grade) on a watch, then Q*bert(5th grade), I think Altered Beast, and Legend of Zelda(6th-7th). Nowadays…kids basically have a portable SNES right in their pocket to enjoy at lunch, or when the teacher leaves, or on a bus in an assembly, etc.
*currently listening to my recorded audio of Ninja Gaiden 2. It’s on a CD… ah, this takes me back…ooh…boss music…and now…Jacquio cinema theme…
I went back to play Tekken Tag for the ps2, man this shit is better than tekken 4. Other than that, I’ve been playing super turbo every now and then. Since school started it’s hard to get in a good game…
Currently playing Xenogears. I’m a little over 40 hours into the game, and I think I can safely declare that it is the best RPG that I’ve ever played on the PS1. Yes, better than FFVII. What do you guys think?
Oh, yeah.
Weeeeeee I love my Xbox 
:nunchuck: :cybot: :rock: :hitit:
New smilies are alright too. Anyways, its fucking incredible all the shit I can do with my Xbox. I’ve got all my videos, roms, music on there and I can also rip Xbox games to the hd (there’s not many I like, but its a nice touch). You looked into a chip yet Famicom? Hit me up if you need any help (its really easy though).
I like Suikoden better than Xenogears (hate the second disc), but its tons better than FFVII (most RPGs are, I’m one of the few that can see the truth about how mediocre FFVII is).
They let you in a church?!?!
I’ve just been playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Cel Damage. SA2 in the hopes of finally collecting everything. Done with Tails, Knux, Shadow, Doc R, Rouge, Cannon’s Core, and the mini-games, still have Sonic and the Chao shit to go.
Cel Damage just 'cause it’s addicting. I’ve started turning off the Personal Weapon box, and turning on all the personal weapons as normal weapons. Hella more fun (more weapons to play with, and a little more balanced). Violet and Brian seem to be a little better than the others with these settings, as their vehicles have the best handling IMO, but at least nobody dominates like Count Earl can by abusing his Heat Seekers when Personal Weapon Boxes are enabled.
I’m STILL playing through Ninja Gaiden, I only get to play it for about 4 hours each weekend, but I’ve been making steady progress. Just beat the Dragon Fiend, and that was a FUN boss battle. You can really fuck his day up with the Ice Ninpo. At this rate though, it’ll take me several more weeks to beat it :sad:
I found a copy of Brave fencer musashi for 15 bucks. What a damn fun game.
And playing Castlevania:aria of sorrow.
Fun but easy…castlevania games are supposed to be hard dammit!
Mario And Luigi Fucking Rules!
Castlevania games have never been the same as SOTN. The difficulty took a serious dive in that game and unfortunatly it has crossed over to the GBA games. I remember having a tough time with Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania Chronicles. Man those games were tough. I died so many times in each game.
Since it is only a matter of days until the Street Fighter Anniversary Colletion I’ve been wanting to play some 2D fighters. So I popped in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Been a while since I played the PS1 version. I think SFA3 has the best Survival Mode of any fighting game. Period. Its really addicting and there are so many different ways to play. Got up to 27 victories with Ryu on Original tonight. Of course that’s probably child’s play to some of the Super Pros here but I was happy.
Keep with the spirit of 2D fighting and wanting to play some SNES, I turned on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. After all these years (game came out in 1993 if I’m not mistaken) the game still looks great. I just gotta have me so good old fashioned 16/32-bit sprites every now and then or I’ll do nuts. Kicking butt as my boy Leo is good fun. The game seems a bit on the button masher side but this is still good stuff. I played in Tournament Mode and got my shell handed to me by Armagedon. :tdown:
Yeah, I too have been playing 2-D fighters, but then again, I play a 2-D fighter at least once a day. I even dusted off Alpha 2 on SNES(sure it’s pretty heinous, but when it came out I was psyched cuz I had no PSX nor Saturn) as well as SF2Turbo, and i always play Alpha 3 and CvS2…gotta gear up for SFAC for sure, (day after tommorow yay)
Oh shit, Gradius V is owning my soul right now 
it’s just too damn addicting. I have weapon edit mode so i’m finding out all of the crazy combinations for it.
Freeze Option+Enegry Laser=TEH PWNAGE!!!
I also need to play silent hill 3 so that i can play silent hill 4
I spent this morning working on all "A"s for Sonic in SA2B. He’s the only character I still have to complete, but I just may give up. I started with City Escape (which is Level 1) and I can’t even finish the time trial on that level. My last run, I made it all the way to the end of the semi chase, and the timer ran out right when I landed in front of the goal ring.
lives lost to that time trial so far: 27
Well, I’m sure that I may be one of 42 people in the entire world that still enjoys Ultimate Muscle on Gamecube. My best friend and I turned on the other Halo-freak guys(*from the previous night of Gaming Madness) to this game, but I doubt they’ll stick with it…even though they enjoyed it.
Anyway, I hadn’t played in a long time before since PSO addiction came back strong, along with DBZ:sw. Now, I’ve made a new character with a great name/gimmick : BUKKAKE the MOIST. Yes, he’s intended to be a sentient mass of “bukkake” that took humanoid form and joined the league. Unfortunately there’s not much you can do to make a simple blob-guy type of design, since CAW options in that game are limited…but I think it came off well(BUKKAKE has the white “clam face” head, and the “poodle style” tufts of hair on the arms and legs…off-white color of course…these serve as the “globules of jizz” in terms of this particular character. His finisher is #22—the one where your opponent looks up and sees you hovering in the air, he comes down and beats him up into the air, and jumps up to slam him hard back down to the mat. I forgot the default name, but I named it “BUKKAKE Bash Special!”. White hit sparks are abundant here, so it fits the character’s disgusting theme.)
I also created 3rd Turd, who is yet another living shit creature.(*I already have a “Dookieman” wrestler) 3rd Turd has the cool horned mask, which is the source of his powers of course.
I wish they’d make a sequel for this on Gamecube or another system…with the same cel-shaded style(*I read about another UM game on Ps2, but they switched over to regular polygons, I think, and I hear this game sucks.), but an expanded CAW feature. I want a CAW feature that REALLY lets my imagination go wild, so I can make Jesus Christ, Princess Di’s Corpse, OJ Simpson, etc…just like the good ol’ days on WWF Warzone.(*that game actually sucked, but damn…that CAW mode was TIGHT. You could make nearly any kind of sick, twisted original character. All it needed was height options, so you could make midgets.)
*oh yeah…kinda rambled off before concluding the point…I wish they’d make a PROPER sequel(*something like this game, not whatever that ugly bullshit is on Ps2)…but there is no hope, because as I said many times before. All the 3rd party companies had a meeting…and they came to the unanimous decision that Gamecube is just “too ghey”, so they will all no longer support it. For the past year or so now…“Multi-platform Release!” has REALLY meant: “for Xbox and Playstation 2. No love for GC because we’ve decided it’s just too gay.”
What the…
Super Castlevania IV was the easiest out of the Castlevania games I beat (just 1-4 for me. Came close to beating Bloodlines once, then lost my passwords). I got real far on it, past the clock tower the first night I tried my hands at that.
However though, if anyone on SRK’s beat Dracula X: Rondo of Blood on PC Engine/Turbo Duo, can anyone tell me how to beat the boss on the Haunted Ship?
I’m one of them.
Oh no worries, Famicom. I beat Super Castlevania IV but to me it still had some tough spots. And if you used up all your lives it was BACK TO THE BEGINING of the level. None of that mid-level save stuff. Man, I think if all the n00bs played the old-school 'Vanias they’d throw a tantrum and quit. It even took me a number of tries to be Drac! But that game was so great. I bought it new back in 2001. I’d gladly play through it again.
I was playing TMNT: Tournament Fighters last night. I just rescued April in Story Mode (Turtles should start charging that chick rescue fees) and I came across the doppleganger turtle. He mopped the floor with me as Leo. Dude wasn’t just cheap. He was gay cheap. :tdown: So I change to Don and whoop him in the first match. Then in the 2nd match he smacks me up something fierce. 3rd match goes like the previous matches I had as Leo. Before I was defeated I was like “I’m done playing” and turned the game off.
SSX3 is the shit. When my girlfriend isn’t over at the apartment I’m all over it and it’s so freaking addictive. Kind of like SSX Tricky but with more polish and a more cohesive feel to it.
Otherwise just the occasional Vampire Savior match with the gf or Puyo Pop Fever, which is the best version of PuyoPuyo since Sun.
It seems like it’s been a good while since I played DBZ: SW as LV3 Super Buu. I hammered LV3 Gotenks with a 36,525,600 power level! That’s the highest I’ve ever gotten with Super Buu.
Okay, so I’ve beaten Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter once, playing thru again (it’s a game where they want you to do it multiple times, New Game+ and such) and I have observed the following things…
SPOILERS:
Ryu is a fricking beast. Let me reiterate, he’s a BEAST. He gets jabbed through the throat only to come back Kyuubi Naruto-style on their asses and kills them all. He shoves his claw through a guy’s body and holds him over his head. He slashes a guy through a wall. He kills a whole platoon of soldiers. He takes absolutely nothing. From NOBODY. He kills anyone who gets in his way, and whoever he damn well feels like. On top of it, his dragon powers are straight-up broken. Odjn (his hybrid dragon form in that one) can literally annihilate ANY boss in the game single-handedly, as well as kick the crap out of full-size dragons (such as the last boss, heh). He did a fricking Kamehameha on him and blasted his ass to hell for trying to hurt Nina and Lin. No dragon breath from his mouth, no fire, just plain old asskicking laser beams. And that brings me back to his dragon form: he literally radiates flame from his body, and has flame wings. Simply put, he looks like he’ll kick your ass and indeed he will. Oh yeah, and this Ryu can actually talk. Just so we’re clear: Ryu will own you and your family for free.
The story is awesome. It’s much, much darker than previous BOF games, having a very Final Fantasy Tactics feel to it in the sense of “the world is crap and we don’t care.”
The battle system owns. I’ll have to kill somebody at Capcom if they go back to the old way of doing things come BOF6.
Nina is super duper cute. The silent role goes to her this game, as some bastards took her voice on purpose to make sure she couldn’t say anything about them using humans as machines. She’s also younger than Ryu (he’s 16, she’s about 12) so she obviously displays the classic little sister in anime/video game symptoms: clings to him at all times, follows him wherever he goes even into the very depths of hell, is the only reason some of the guys who step to Ryu actually get to live, is the reason the rest of them die when they try and hurt her, etc.
That’s about it. In short, this game rocks and rocks hard.
