What are you playing right now?
« on: August 17, 2006, 01:30:03 pm »
Just was wondering what video games have your attention right now.

On my list:
Goku Makaimura (PSP), Every Extend Extra (PSP), Valkyrie Profile Lenneth (PSP), King of Fighters XI (PS2)

This doesn't include the other games I have yet to start. -_-

GAH!! you got KoF XI!!! I'm so jealous, can I come over and play? Ash is quickly becomes one of my favorite characters. But as too what I'm playing, mostly goofing off in City of Villians (Gaurdian Server, PC), playing my old fighting games (kof mi, cap vs snk2, and marvel vs. cap2, PS2) and should be picking up FFVII: Dirge of Cerberous soon as I get payed. Then KoF 2006 at end of the month.

Right now I am currently enhralled with Naruto Geketou Ninja Taisen 4, with my attention about to be directed to either the New FF7 game or Battle Stadium D.O.N. which ever one I decide to buy when I get a little free cash (aka next pay day). We'll see though, i don't know.

I am playing City of Heros (on protector, sorry RenegadeX), but that is going to end soon.  I have to start the new semester.  Then Ill move on too HL2: Episode One and some older games that i stoped playing once I got CoH, like God of War.  I wanna try the new tomb raider too.

I didn't want to play City of Heroes with you...  ;D:even though im sure it would be a blast: I want to play your King of Fighters XI game.  :P I'm far too poor with bills and such to get the import japanese games. :'(

PS. you have a import system? or use disk magic or one the many other things?

I own an import PS2.  I'm not ready for visitors quite yet though as I am actually in the process of redoing my video game setup as all my switchboxes decided to die all at the same time (but, then again, I bought them all at the same time, go figure).

I'll need a pretty big switchbox as well, and the ones that had eight inputs are sold out everywhere.  Meh.

Instead of switch boxes, I find that A/V receivers are more convenient.  Unfortunately more expensive too…

I, uh...tend to get a backlog of games...so....there's quite a few. XD

Currently, it's Final Fantasy X (I've been stuck near the end for....quite a while now. Stupid---*spoilspoil*), Soul Calibur III (me and my brother have unlocked almost everything, but...I love this game XD), Tales of Legendia (this one is REALLY bad, becaus I'm a mod on the official forum for this game, and it game out a WHILE ago. I should've beaten it during the summer. But...Sims 2....), Metal Gear Solid III: Substance, Kingdom Hearts II....

....Yeah, those are the biggies right now. XD

Right now I'm pounding away at Soul Calibur III and DDR Extreme II.
Been stuck on the first disk of FFVII since January since I suck with RPG-type games.

And I dinker around with NHL 2001 ($2 for the year the Avs won the Cup :D) and Madden 2000 (or 2004? I don't remember). My game reflexes suck if I can't mash buttons. :P

Nearing the end of Kingdom Hearts II - if I weren't such a completionist, I'd've finished it weeks ago.
Otherwise,

Mario Kart DS
We <3 Katamari/Katamari Damacy (always a good one to pick up and do a quick round)
and on rotation, any of the 5 American versions of Karaoke Revolution!

If my PS2 hadn't kicked the bucket on me I'd be finishing the last 30 or so minutes of Final Fantasy 9.

Oh, man do I love the music... *Swoons*

Guitar Freaks or Hero?  I have been debating a Beatmania Tournament for the VGR for a long time.  Love that game until my moded PS broke...   Now i cant play it anymore!   (T_T;)

Guitar Freaks; Three keys with timing, not five with hardly any timing.  ;D

Of course, I wouldn't mind a Beatmania / IIDX tourny, much less fronting a controller. But alas, I know; the rules  ::)  ;D

What if you did it independent of the VGR though?  I'm sure you could convince Zaruel Zanzabar of something.  ;D  We're already gonna run it in our room, at least.

You can always run whatever you want through your own rooms on your own time.  If you do, get me before you do it!   I love that game

I have to admit that I haven't tried guitar freaks, but I absolutly love Guitar Hero! By far one of my Favs! (too bad I don't have a ps2 (T_T) ) Being an actual guitar player myself, you'd be suprised on how much that game actually incorporates real finger exorcises into it's play. The only thing is that when playing it you get used to the big buttons and when you switch to real guitar it's alot harder cause your fingers need to be more precise.
If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing right.

I'll be running around the game room yelling "BEATMANIA! WHERE ARE YOU DJ BULL?"

if that doesn't find you, then I dunno what to do   :-\

Guitar Freaks has the big buttons, but it's harder than Guitar Hero overall.  You get perfects, greats, etc. like from DDR.  Though not as complicated on the fingers, it's much more quick than any Guitar Hero song I've seen.  ;D

How was the HL 2 on the box?  Did you play it on the PC?  Was it different?  Better or worse?

I don't own a PC (Mac user and I don't own an IntelMac), but I've tried it out on the PC displays at Microcenter. There is some obvious difference because of playing on a regular TV than a flatscreen, but I couldn't realistically complain. The only problems are no multiplayer and no ability to mod, but that last one is a standard Computer vs Console complaint.

I've heard that the HL episodes will be coming out for the 360, so I'm looking forward to that.
