Export thread

This is basically the same as any music or movie or tv show thread where you talk about the game you are currently playing and why.

Currently I am rocking out to Castlevania: Order of Ecclasia. Wow, easily the best Castlevania game of the Gameboy/DS 2D Castlevanias. It brings difficulty back in a big way. Even some normal enemies pose a grave threat to you this time around and the bosses will generally take a couple of tries to beat. I'm thoroughly digging the glyph system too, though I could do away with having to grind on different glyph types to make them strong enough to be viable against enemies.

Yeah, it's easily my favorite of the long line of portable Castlevanias.

Just finished wolfenstein & blazblue story mode. Heavy into Batman at this point, with occasional split screen call of duty nazi zombies. There's always the occasional rock band, with the newer chapters of Final Fantasy 4 the After Years waiting in the wings as my Wii gathers dust.

As for the portable castlevania games, I enjoyed Aria/Dawn of sorrow the most. I thought it was cool the way the storyline was done, and that one was the direct sequel of the other. That plus Julius mode in the DS one (plays just like Castlevania 3 for nes) cemented it down for me.

As for Order of Ecclesia, I never finished it. I enjoyed what I played, but the maps all seemed a little linear, and I was more of a fan of the large expansive SOTN type maps.

I've been playing Fallout 3 with version 2 of the Fallout Overhaul Kit mod. FOOK2 is actually only in public beta right now, so I'm sort of beta testing rather than actually playing. Though it's already a very enjoyable mod, even if there are still quite a few balancing kinks and bugs to work out.

I've been waiting to play through Fallout 3 again, the only reason I haven't yet IS because the Fook2 isn't out of beta yet and I want to experience it as a whole (probably going to be waiting around 6 months for that).

I'm still playing about 5hrs a day on WoW and 2hrs a day on Team Fortress 2. I was starting up a Dragonquest 8 game on my PS2 but I haven't touched it in 3 weeks.... rly:

I tried FOOK but I found all the new guns to be quite immersion-breaking... some of them had terrible models/skins and barely any of them fitted with the post-apocalyptic aesthetic.

In the end I found my own combination of numerous gameplay mechanics mods, creature mods and gun/armor mods that somehow still worked together. Then Broken Steel came out and broke half of them, and I gave up. I'll probably reinstall it in a few months and go through the whole process again; hopefully some great new mods will be out by then.

I'd agree with you Gill, as I played my first 6 playthroughs with my own combination of mods each time. FOOK though, offers alot more than just weapons and I'd like to experience the game through "that side" as soon as it's finished.

Hmm... right now, I'm considering buying BlazBlue or King of Fighters XII. Not sure towards what game I should lean to...

Any recomandations?

Depends, are they both available for play on X-box Live?

Yes ma'am.

After some serious playtime with SF IV I'm ready to try something new.

From my old neogeo-times and mame, I'm somewhat familiar with the KoF series and I actually like the gameplay.

About BlazBlue (and the guilty gear series) I know near nothing, never played it myself. Heard it is quite hectic and very fast.

What to spend my precious CHF on? (Swiss francs...)

Can't really comment to much then, as I've been out of the fighting game scene for a long while. Lastest game I played even slightly seriously was Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core.

I prefer the "out of wordly" style of games like Guilty Gear and Marvel Vs Capcom as they can tend to be pretty "twitchy" and require split second timing and perfect execution. Though games like KoF and SFIV take the more "grounded" approach and are more about tactics and poke/turtling while waiting for openings and flaws in your opponents offence.

You say however that you're looking for something "different" than SFIV, and if that's the case, I'd go with Blazblue.

Lots and lots and lots of Mass Effect.

I haven't had much room in my budget for games lately so I've been hunting achievements on old games instead. Before Mass Effect I was playing through Bioshock again, Prototype and also a bit of Far Cry 2. Next up I will propably finish what's left of Soul Calibur IV.

Hopefully my local game shop will begin a new trade in-campaign soon so I can get something fresh to play.

FOOK2 actually abandons a lot of the guns from the previous version, mainly the ones that the FOOK team found to be ugly in model or texture. However, they also added a bunch of new ones, such as WW2 guns, so I'm not sure how that'll work out for your immersion.

I dunno if you guys know about another mod called Mart's Mutant Mod, which adds new enemies to the game and makes every enemy encounter bigger and harder. The guy making MMM has stated he intends to make his mod fully compatible with FOOK2. Basically, MMM will provide more enemies for you to shoot, and FOOK will provide the guns for you to shoot them with.

Based on what I've seen so far in the FOOK2 public beta, a lot of the new features are designed to help with immersion. For example, they have a World and Neighborhood Kit component (unfortunately acronymed to WANK) that adds hidden journal entries, diary entries, computer logs etc to the game, providing a whole bunch of new background lore. WANK also adds stuff like extra skeletons and corpses in areas where it'd make sense for them to appear. Another example would be how repairing in combat is now not allowed. Actually, the entire repair system is going to be revamped, and scrap metal will no longer be the magical repair material.

On the whole, I think FOOK2 is going to be awesome. Just gotta iron out the kinks first.

Oh, also, FOOK2 is quite a bit more unstable and demanding on your system than the previous version. I'm getting like double the CTDs with FOOK2.

EQ on an emulated server. 5X exp, content through LoY, and fabled mobs giving me the quick advancement, nice gear, and ability to see things I didn't see when I played live. Got my brother playing it as well (much to his Wife's dismay).

Pretty much just WoW right now. I'm trying to save my portable games for long trips and I'm busy with non-gaming projects of late. With money being tight, WoW is cheaper and more time-consuming than buying new games each month.

I'm in the middle of Ghostbusters on the PC. I've also been playing a little Battlefield Heroes.

I installed Master of Orion 2 on my netbook... I really shouldn't have. Why do I do this to myself? It's always "just one more turn".

I've also been playing Tales of Monkey Island: The Siege of Spinner Cay.

All in all I haven't been gaming much in the last few weeks. Most of the time I would have spent gaming has been spendt searching through Flickr for the cosplay thread.

I'm back into WoW after a long 6 month layoff and am already main tanking Ulduar. My guild missed the shit out of me, I can tell. Oh, to be loved for one's superior tanking skills.

Haven't tanked ToC yet. Waiting till I get more Ulduar gear for it.
Yogg Saron is a complete blast. I'm loving most of the bosses. Most people seem to really hate Mimiron, but he's easily my favorite. I love insane chaotic fights.

Yogg'saron's lore and "illusions" have to be some of my favorite in game so far.

Ooo, I love capturing Antaran ships and deconstructing them for the techs. Nothing like getting Particle Beams at the very early stages of the game.

Been playing Champions Online. So far it's mostly just playing around with new character concepts/costumes and briefly getting them through the tutorial. So far my favorite characters is my single blade carrying "Puss in Boots" (Were-cat with mechanical legs), and my power armor using "Top Secret" (Astroboy rip-off).

It's been entertaining. I think if it has a flaw it's probably going to be the end game. Fights seem way too easy, and it's mostly just who can hit the hardest. I want to see fights that require movement, or using a certain ability at the right time. WoW pulled it off very well. I hope Champions follows suit.

Mostly playing Little King's Story now, and oh boy is it awesome! It's like Pikmin with a lot more depth. All the little details are quite amazing and there's just so much to do. I've only rescued one princess so far, but I'm working hard on the sidequests and kingdom upgrades.

Do you use assault shuttles for that, or is there a better method I don't know of? (I also love assault shuttles because they make it so easy to defeat computer opponents who only have starbases/battlestations for planetary defense, as is often the case for repulsive races)

Lots of Resistance 2 online.

Frozen Throne ATM, alongside City of Heroes.

Right now I have been playing Harvest Moon Island of Happiness for the DS. It is a decent game but it would be a lot better with different controls. This game suffers from having stylus controls crammed on to it. The d-pad controls were working just fine there was no need for them to attach the stylus controls onto the game. I can understand them wanting to make the game unique for the DS. But they didn't even do a good job with the controls. It is way to easy to perform the wrong action. For example I was trying to give a gift to someone and I clicked the stylus on them and my character threw the gift breaking it. I would have much preferred to use the d-pad controls. They should of at least left it to us to choose which control style we wanted but they don;t even offer the option to play using the d-pad. And it is really sad because the game would have been much better if they either let us use the d-pad controls or at least spent more time fine tuning the stylus controls.

Oblivion. I'm a Redguard Acrobat vampire and I'm in the Dark Brotherhood. I just completed a thoroughly depressing quest. I don't know why I signed up to be a damn assassin! It always makes me feel guilty!

I'm currently on my way to close another gate.

I also tried HM:IOH but gave up quickly. I was very dissatisfied with the controls as well, and not at all impressed with how slow the game was. Yes it's a HM title, but that's still no excuse for it to take forever to get things done. It's been a while and I've forgotten any examples, but I just remember never accomplishing a damn thing and the days just getting shorter and shorter so you couldn't get any work done efficiently.

I've been instead playing the Rune Factory games which supposedly are "A Fantasy Harvest Moon". I highly recommend them as they combine the traditional HM farming, and some combat aspects as well. Plus the controls are set properly whereas the D-Pad actually moves you and the buttons perform your set actions. Plus if you really want to use the Stylus you can, and sometimes it even helps with farming as you can chart out a watering course.

When you find the severed head during one of the last missions, be sure to take it with you. When you report to where Lucien tells you afterward, be sure to throw it on the floor of the room where you find him. Talk to everyone in the room. Surprise easter egg!

For the earlier game, assault shuttles are your only choice, because you don't have the tech to do anything else. Later, research Tractor Beams, Transporters and Troop Pods (to increase the number of marines on your ship). Immobilize the enemy ship with the Tractor Beam, then start beaming marines onto their ship with the Transporter. This works best with Antaran ships because they don't have shields, and you need the enemy's ships' shields to be down to use the Transporter. For regular enemy races, you need a weapon to take out their shields first before trying this method.

Generally speaking it's more reliable than shuttles, which can be shot down mid-flight.

WoW mostly, and replaying Chrono Trigger DS when I feel the urge to do so.

Starcraft, and Spellforce 2: Shadow of Darkness.

King's bounty the legend
titan quest
mass effect

King's Bounty is awesome. Just don't be disappointed by the final battle - the end guy is a wuss. Whipped him in 1 round. Literally.

Now I'm playing Trine. Which is fucking awesome. I love these small scale indie style games. Lost Vikings ahoy.

bhamv3 said:

Click to expand...

They can't be shot down if you get right alongside or immediately behind an enemy. For some reason the game doesn't require any travel time from those positions, and the shuttles reach the enemy ship as soon as they are fired. I toss some augmented engines (and/or a subspace teleporter) on a ship and after the Antarans advance on their frist turn I can get into position beside them right away.

I'm re-installing TF2. Hopefully I can get a fucking hat this time.

Well based on your suggestion (as well as other reviews) I just got done placing my order for the first Rune Factory. So you better be right :tongue:

Been playing Mass Effect so that I can get all the achievements I left till later and so that I can create the ultimate Shepard with all the best gear, abilities and allies.

Then I'll probably fire up Condemed 2 to try and get past the part I was stuck on. I don't even remember where it was I just remember saying "fuck this game"

I played a game on the PS2 a while back. Was some kind of convict, framed for killing his family locked up in a prison, the portal to hell basically opens up and he gets loose. Through the prison he fights with his imagination, the demons and has a karma system for a good/neutral/bad ending.

There was a sequel. I want to play it. I can't remember the name of the first one....

YES! Loved that freakin game.

Now to pick up the sequel.

I'm hoping gamefly will throw the new Batman game my way.

Other than that, re-installed and have been playing back through StarCraft and WC3.

The Sequel: Story isn't quite as interesting, but Gameplay is somewhat improved by making turning into your Monstrous Alter Ego worth doing (because it's powers evolve depending on how good or evil you are). Does have some tie-ins with the previous game, including reading your memory card for the ending you got last game and making that the opening you get (you can choose the other openings once you've beat the game once). Dr. Killjoy also makes a few appearances, doing his best to help you as he did in the previous game, which is awesome because he was my favorite character in The Suffering.

Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core
re: zappa

also, occasionally Super Robot Wars: OG

Resident Evil 5 and Aion mostly. Starting to hunt some achievements in RE5, mercenaries mode is fun as always.

I'm still playing Little King's Story. About 18 hours in, and I just rescued the third princess. (one of my ministers mentioned my polygamy might be going a bit too far)
This game is a lot harder than I expected, especially the boss fights (against kings and guardians) I think I've died at least 15 times already. Still a great game though.

A beta MMO that I cannot name but there was a style on the old forum related to it.

When I'm up to playing the 360 again, Looney Toons: Acme Arsenal (YOU HEARD ME) and Arkham Asylum. In that order because the first one has to go back to Gamefly.

Desperately waiting for Forza 3 for Xbox 360...

And constructing my own racing chair. Haven't been working on a project since my last joystick (springtime) and I got the urge to craft something again.

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Man, getting a character up to lvl60 was a chore.

Then I read on the Mass Effect Wiki that only the choices of your character will really matter when you import him/her to Mass Effect 2:

Mass Effect Wiki said:

Carrying over files

* Decisions made in Mass Effect will impact its sequel, most notably those made on a personal level. Certain characters can return provided they weren't killed in the first game. Casey Hudson has recommended keeping saved games from the original Mass Effect. You will be able to carry over your characters from the original Mass Effect.
* Due to massive gameplay redesign, your level will not transfer over to Mass Effect 2 and you'll start out with basic abilities. [2][3]
* Imported characters will be able to choose a different class at the start of Mass Effect 2 if desired.
* The physical appearance of imported characters can be changed at the start of Mass Effect 2 if desired.[4]
* If you had more than one file in the original Mass Effect the next one will ask you which file to play as.

Probably not, but you'd probably have to do pretty much every sidequest beforehand, with the squad member in question in your party.

I remember when I got Liara's achievement, I'd gone straight for her after becoming a Spectre, and only got the achievement on Ilos after doing every side quest. Assuming you do everything else in the game before going to Virmire, that'd make your next stop Ilos. So if my estimates are correct, you'd be able to get the Ashley/Kaiden achievement on Virmire, or just before.

Haven't had any issues so far, but that was after a server switch because the first server I was on was lag central.

Had an Xbox night with a friend of mine, so got a chance to sample all sortsa games:

Street Fighter IV: Pretty much the same as the others, but with better graphics. I was never a big fan of the series, but it was still pretty fun. We basically played enough matches to run through all the characters once and that was pretty much it.

Legends of Wrestlemania (or is it Wrestling?): Anyway, really fun wrestling game with all sorts of the classic guys. I was disappointed that Big Bossman's "Hard Time" theme wasn't on there and instead, was his generic one he had when he came back during the Attitude era. Still pretty fun, but not one I'd go out of my way to play on my own.

Fight Night Round 4: Hot damn. Never been a fan of boxing or boxing games (aside from Punch Out and this old boxing sim on PC), but I could see myself getting hooked on this. Really neat system, using the right stick to punch and the left to move. Even if I'm not a boxing fan, I could see myself buying this one for cheap when I get the PS3.

Still, lotsa good fun between two very old friends and some video games (something we used to do when we were kids).

Scribblenauts. I'm still screwing around on the title screen.

Want...

Lets see. Tried a bunch of Steam Demos recently and a couple other cheapos:

Call of Juarez: Dissapointing
Nation Red: Fun cheap game
Evil Genius: Fun cheap game
Darkest of Days: Utter shit
Mini Ninjas: meh....

Then of course been rocking some Mount and Blade. Can't stop playing it.

In two days I will play the fucking shit out of Batman. Go go PC!

I read that

"I will be fucking the shit out of Batman."

Awesome.

Depends how well it goes in the game I guess.

Whew, just finished Little King's Story after a bit more than 50 hours. (including most of the sidequests/unlockables)
Very good game! and pretty difficult even on normal mode. Some of the boss battles are incredibly original and completely outside the real time strategy / simulation genre.

Better than Pikmin in most aspects.

It's not even that... it's just that it takes flawless teamwork for the infected to win. You literally need to have 3 people ether jump/wrap people up so the Boomer can call in the Horde. If you don't immobilize at least half the team, the Boomer can't get close enough for the double boom that you need to kill them... and even then, there are some locations that are so defensible, it doesn't matter if you call in the Horde or not, because they'll kill them all before they can be reached.

Really? Cause just about every game I've been in, the Survivors either lose or 2 minimum will die.

I was just in a game of Crash Course where the survivors literally moved like a Spec-Ops team. They were all close together to prevent hunter/smoker attacks and would go hide in an enclosed space anytime a boomer got near (to kill it before they could get biled or fight off the horde easily). Once they reached the Finale, they all got on top of this shed near the truck and despite getting double boomed by the Boomer, fought off the Horde without taking a single hit. It was especially bad because Infected only spawn from one location in that Finale, so we had to sneak behind them to even get a CHANCE to hurt them. It was ridiculous.

Just playing Battlefield Heroes recently and over all its not a bad game.

You're also new to the game. There's a lot of variety in how to fuck up the Survivors without the big coordinated pound. But even then, it's asking you for teamwork versus teamwork. Good teamwork on both sides means a tough game. Shitty teamwork on both sides means a tough game.
