Overlord mainly at the moment. It's really fun, but what annoys me is that when your minions die, sure you can go and get more really easily, but you have to go around getting the best weapons and armour for them, which takes ages and it's something i'm not too fond of doing very often, so I have to lay low, make the minions wait, scout the area for enemies so as little as possible die.

How do you get Mist charges again? I forgot the tutorial.

[Laharl]

learn them on the license board, three quickenins per character and a character who has learnt their 3 will triple their base amount of MP

during the quickening chain you press something to shuffle the quickenings and sometimes you recover a mist charge and be able to continue the chain (cant remember what though)

Are you absolutely joking me? The platforming in SMG is the very reason why it's so innovative and gameplay beyond anything - it's platforming with the twist of gravity, it's platforming that breaks the convention of the single dimensional control of just your character, it's platforming where the very environment negates, influences, and f@#$ing distorts the physical presence and progress of the gaming structure in its very perception.

Jeez.

[ZephyrAnalea]

I've only played Galaxy once at a GameStop demo station: My friend was on the WiiMote, and I was on the Nunchuk. Pretty hard having two people control Mario at once.

I played SMG for a few hours the other day at a friend of mine. I was playing it with the "is this it?" feeling. I expected more of it, and frankly, I don't see what everyone thinks is so super special awesome about it. I didn't find it a lot better then any platformer I've played in 2007.

My friend played Galaxy yesterday at my place and he was really impressed. He had a lot of fun, and couldn't put the Wiimote down. But still, he's a PC gamer, of course he would find Galaxy fun compared to the games he plays...

Playing through halo now to get all skulls, and complete on all difficulties with my mate who I know irl. He's way better than me, so I just stand back in a safe place, so when he dies, he'll respawn and go kill more people. Yes, it's cheap, but who cares? Gets the job done.

Halo online= Win. No, there arent hundreds of noobs who squeal down the mic, yes there are those few people who jump around making life difficult, but yes, when it comes down to it, nothing is more fun than having your mate drive you to the enemy base and then with him, kill everybody in there and steal their weapons.

I'm mostly a PC gamer and I have to agree with SS. SMG is a lot of fun but somehow, I'm left thinking "is this all?" too. The gravity quirks are pretty cool and all, Bee Mario, blah blah, but somehow I'm not quite satisfied and left boner-free.

Christ on a bike GL. There is a lot less platforming and more puzzle-type gameplay. That's not to say it's not there, but maybe the reason I'm not as into SMG as New Super Mario Bros. is because there's less of it.

Actually, I don't agree with you. Compared to Mario 64 and Sunshine, there are far fewer puzzles and more jumping, dodging and bashing enemies. To me it feels more like a 2D Mario game, because of the linear levels and constant action.

[Caael]

I really

wish I had more money.

So many good games are out on the 360 right now, and even more awesome ones are coming out. At least I didn't have as big a list as I did earlier today, as I tried the demos of games I was considering getting, and some of them i've decided I dont like. At the moment my list consists of:

COD4
The Orange Box
Mass Effect
Assassins Creed ( dk what people say about it)
Burnout Revenge

I dunno. Maybe. I didn't play Sunshine and only have the crappy DS port of Mario 64. I'm just trying to think of reasons why I'm not so into SMG even though it's a good game.

[Aquamarine]

I'm attempting that too. It's an amazing game, seriously, and I'm having a LOT of fun with Galaxy, but not as much as reviewers and GL seemed to have. I guess the gameplay simply doesn't suit me as much. It's too freaking easy though! I've already got 57 stars and I feel like I should have played at least double the amount I time I have to get those power stars.

[Someone Else]

Well I've been spreading out my time with SMG while I play my other games, so even though I have between 60 and 50 stars and

Spoiler

it takes 60 stars to unlock the last level

I don't feel quite like that.

Perhaps it's not that Super Mario Galaxy should be more than it is. Maybe it's just that people are praising it so much, "best game of 2008, revolutionary, unique," blah blah. I guess I feel like I should be having more fun playing it when I'm already having a lot of fun playing it since people give it such high praise. =/

I'll tell you one thing though,

Spoiler

if the Trial Galaxies are the only "secret world" that SMG has, I'm going to be disappointed.

SMG is made to have lots of secrets just like every other Mario game. I guess I should research a bit.

[Aquamarine]

You know, another reason that I'm not enjoying Galaxy as much as I should perhaps, is because I simply don't enjoy games as much. I'm slowly growing out of them, different things are capturing my interest, and it's about time too.

[Eugine]

Aqua, you described my feelings perfectly. I really want to hug your for that.

[Saturos S.]

Same here, I used to be able to play for hours on end. Now I'm playing a game and after half an hour - hour I'm all: "this is starting to get boring, enough for now."

I think gaming got healthy for me. :wub:

[Someone Else]

Noooo! Gamers for life!

You're right though. I don't think I enjoy games as much either, but I play lots of games so it didn't just start with SMG for me.

[Caael]

Same with me, although i'll grow out of them, i'm a nerd at heart, so even when i'm 40, i'll still play the occasional game. Yeah, they are losing my interest slightly, but video games will get to a point where everything has been done before, so you'll just feel like ' been there, done that'. Infact, it's already starting to get like that. I recon by the end of 2009-10, gaming will not be as fun as it used to be. That's why I keep my old consoles :D

[Drizzy Drake]

I'm getting back into FFV. It's a fun final fantasy, even if the plot isn't especially unique. It definetly doesn't beat VI, VII or X but it's fun anyway.

[Toasty]

Still playing SMG. I've got 71 stars at the moment, and though it's easier than Sunshine, it's harder than N64 (which was pretty freaking hard for me). For me, it's a pretty good balance. Not too hard, not too easy. But I've only encountered 2

Spoiler

non-commet

related stars that I had to try more than once to get, and a handful of stars that I just gave up on (going back to them later).

And WD, there's at LEAST one hidden star in almost every level. I've encountered a few with two. But as for secret galaxies, I dont know. I guess you can't really consider the ones where you

Spoiler

feed the lumas and they make a galaxy

as 'hidden', but more as bonus galaxies.

I still haven't encountered any

Spoiler

purple commets

though.

Anyway, I hate how the worst CoD game is the ONLY one for the Wii. I would have loved to have CoD4, or at least CoD2. CoD2 was pretty fun when I played it on my friend's 360.

I think I'll play FE:RD in a few minutes though, but seriously. Nintendo needs to provide me with a decent FPS, because the ONLY times I get to play any FPS's, are at my friend's houses.

While Jak II isn't necessarily jawdropping, it is a damn fun game to play, even if it is painfully difficult. If anything, the satisfaction of beating the harder missions makes up for it in the end. Definitely worth more than the twenty dollars I shelled out for it.

I was considering getting both of them. The only thing stopping me from grabbing them off the shelf, is that MoH:H2 seemed kinda like CoD3, and I've never really been a fan of th Metroid series. However, everyone says MoH:H2 is great, and MP3 does look pretty awesome. I think I'll go for MoH first though.

All games that I have tried. But the lesser games have fewer people on it. But really all the games that I even played online, were playable, and had people on at all hours of the night. Yes surely it is illegal. But if you have ANY downloaded music on your computer, than I wouldn't not download it because of the illegality.

But now that I think of it, I don't think it technically would be illegal. Seeing as it's just hooknig up computers from around the world, to play games, like you would on the computer. But call it what you want, it's your choice.

Halo 2 is probably the most active game on there, but that's the same on XBL I assume.

[Caael]

Halo 3 on average has around 2.5 million players online.

Meh, i've still got a free months worth of Gold, might as well use that.

Oh wait I don't even know if they have it for the 360, so if you have the 360, then I guess you're SOL. But ya might as well use you're XBL, as long as you have it, but after it's done, try out XBC, so I can whup your ass. Ha naw I'm not that ****ey, but ya try it out.

Lord God Yahtzeee's Zero Punctuation review of MOH: Airboune

MOH will never be good as it is made by history altering pricks

Airborn may have sucked, but Heros 2 is supposed to be good. Besides, one's for handheld systems (I think) and the other is for consoles. And quit hateing on all FPS's. I'll bet anything you haven't played many, or even more than a few minutes of any one of them.

[Laharl]

it doesnt matter what genre MOH is, i'd still despise it as something that's trying it hardest to make it look like the americans are the only ones who took part in the war, as a british person, that's pretty damn ****ing insulting. plus the games are racist, "being historicaly accurate" hardly justifies some of terms for germans and jaoanese

[Ironsight]

Thats why I like Call of Duty better. It's not as bad.

They make Russians good and bad(rebels), they make you play as Britain AND America, it rocks both ways.

First off, "freedom of speech," secondly, the Japanese and German's HATED us. British, American, or whoever else was against them. Of COURSE they'd use the dirtiest insults towards us.

I can't say about whether or not it portrays the US as being more dominant in the war, but you do seem to dislike the US a lot, so for all I know, you could be exaggerateing. :)

But, CoD2 portrayed the allies pretty evenly imo. If it's less than that in MoH:H2, then you might be right.

[Nosferatu]

Hmm.

As of this EXACT moment, I am 15 minutes into a new playthrough of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

the British soldiers dont even appear in some of the games...

freedom of speech is all well and good, but when your ethnicity is publicly insulted and nobodt blinks an eye lid it wont seem so impressive

[Ironsight]

Freedom of speech is like a leg with two feet wearing steal toe-ed boots. You get your ass kicked either when you support it, and when you just want people to shut the hell up :).

[Toasty]

Cracker and N***er are pretty much the same. They're both meant to be insults to a race. But if someone's just jokeing around and they don't really mean it as an insult, OR if it's used in refrence and not intended as an insult, then people should just shut up about it and quit getting all worked up. My (mexican) friends and I joke around a lot with 'cracker' and 'beaner', and no one's insulted because it's a joke.

You should be mad at the people who refrenced it, you should be mad at the people who said it in the first place.

Awesome game. I'll actually end up finishing someday. XD

[TheEnglishman]

I finished it. It's a great game, but some chapters are dull, especially the one set on the train.
@Laharl: The only MOH I've played with British people in is Rising Sun. It's not as bad as the original though, which had Germans with British accents. :)

[Caael]

When alone, foreign people like to speak english to each other.

[Fury]

I just started playing WildArms 5 & Castlevania:Curse of Darkness.

[Folcon]

I want WA5. I guess I forgot it was out now. I'm playing a little of everything right now, some Warcraft 3, Lego Star Wars, FF3, and Mario Kart DS.

[Fury]

I think WA5 is better than WA3. The battles are probably the best thing about the game(WA5).

[Ironsight]

I found out why I kept losing in DoWWA a while ago. After that, it was easy to beat mah foes.

[Someone Else]

Playing lots of Witcher as you can see in my mine Xfire profile that I have in my sig.

But I've been playing a little Crysis again too. Playing my favorite levels again. :(

[Blitz Ace]

I'm playing:

Golden Sun (Which is why I stumbled onto these forums ;P)

Mario Kart DS (Wifi is great)

Tales of Symphonia (My like 12th time through, I love this game)

[Nosferatu]

Currently priming for the final boss of Paper Mario TTYD. Tested my strategy on the optional boss, which does much less damage, but has 50 more HP then the final boss, giving it 200 HP. 260 HP if you want to count it's 60 HP heal at one point.

Strategy is almost flawless. Even if I get a Triple Poison Mushroom (which takes away half of your life, half of your FP (power to use badge attacks), half of your star power (use special attacks) and all your audience runs away, and the audience helps you refill your star power so that kinda sucks.

I got one on the way down. I managed to build up just enough power to use a Special Attack called Sweat Feast which heals your HP and FP. Stylish moves ftw.

[Blitz Ace]

Who are you using as your partner? Or soloing with Mario?

I love that game.

[Nosferatu]

Blitz Ace, on Jan 24 2008, 11:40 PM, said:

I mainly use Vivian, Bobbery and Yoshi. Ms. Mowz and Goombella if I need some HP/ an extra turn.

[Toasty]

Yeah, I usually use Bobbery, Vivian (if I need to dodge one of the final boss's nearly unnavoidable attacks), and Koops. Yoshi isn't that useful to me unless I'm fighting weak foes. I rarely use Goombella or Ms. Mowz.

[TheEnglishman]

I used to use Goombella a lot. I wanted to do the monster logs. I never used the big wind woman though... yeah I forget her name.

[Blitz Ace]

Flurrie,


And I usually use Bobbery, Vivian and Yoshi

[Moonear]

I finally beat Super Mario Galaxy (in the top 20 best games ever IMO), I beat the last bowser fight, but I still need to get 52 more stars till I have all of them. I will get back to that soon.

[Caael]

****ing people in Halo are ***lords. Big Team Battle, they had 2 leutienents on their team, and we had noobs with no rank. 6 people quit and it was 2 of us against 7 of them. Can you say rape?

[Toasty]

Rape. :D

I've never been all that great at Halo. I always get butt-raped at Halo parties.

Anyway, I completely forgot about Flurrie. I only use her when I need to get rid of some enemies though.

Still playing Halo online, I cant think of another game I would rather be playing.

Except empire earth. I freakin' love that game.

[Drizzy Drake]

Playing Super Mario World on my GBA. No matter how many tiems I beat that game, I can still go back.

I have it beaten 97%.

The only thnigs I need are the two special endings for that bridge level, and all the Yoshi Coins.

I have beaten the brdige level over 50 times, trying different thnigs, but nooooo, I can't get the special endings.

[Someone Else]

As you might be able to tell if you actually look at my Xfire profile in my sig, I haven't played a lot of games lately. New semester started, I thought I'd have a break from my finals from the end of my last semester, but noooo...

Still playing The Witcher a little at a time. Really long game, a little slow on the occasion, but the best RPG I've played in a while if not the best.

[Ironsight]

I've gone back to playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade for a while.

[Drizzy Drake]

I'm gonig to be playing DMC4 today. From what I can see it looks liek a good game, and from the trailers, it looks liek Nero(the new main character) will be fighting Dante.

[Split Infinity]

Still trudging through FFXII. I just reached the end of the second tomb and I'm stuck against Mateus. He totally obliterates me. I'm kind of using Vaan as a starter Pokemon at the moment, by playing as him all the time. Basch is a weird combination of thief/healer/warrior, and the rest of the characters are rotting away somewhat. O_o

[Caael]

Lol i'm playing Halo with Za atm.

[Someone Else]

Against all odds I managed to get back into Oblivion.

[Caael]

Bioshock. Thought i'd never get back into it after my experience in the Medical Pavillion but now it's really shining through as one of the best games i've ever played. I'm currently

Spoiler

in Fort Frolic getting photos of dead dudes for that guy and putting the photos in his masterpiece.

Bit weird, but whatever, it's pretty fun.

[Someone Else]

Dude, how could you have stopped playing at the Medical Pavillion, that was only the second level. >_>

[TheEnglishman]

I'm going through Phantom Hourglass. Although I dislike the main dungeon, the rest is pretty good.

[Caael]

I was scared lol...but i'm past that now and i'm having great fun researching everything with the camera. Got all the weapons now and the upgrades for most of my plasmids. How far would you say I am into the game?

[Drizzy Drake]

Rented Def Jam Icon, so ya, I'm playing that.

[Someone Else]

You're pretty far. There might be a few more levels.

Spoiler

I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more levels after I had gotten the crossbow.

[Caael]

Yeah, just got the crossbow. Ammo for it is really expensive! Like 90 dollars for 6 flame bolts. But its cheaper than the grenade launcher.

I was expecting more of a challenge from big daddys, but 3 grenades blows them up D:

[Someone Else]

I'd say that's exaggerating a bit, I could put 3 Proximity Mines on a corpse or so something, and use telekinesis to throw the corpse at him and he'd still have a 1/3 of his health left.

And yup, welcome to Rapture. This isn't Halo or Crysis, you have to conserve your ammo. <_<

[Caael]

I'm playing on Easy mode though, so they'll have less health than on Normal or Hard.

I love it not being like conventional shooters with rebounding health and plentiful ammo. It's more of a first person adventure that a shooter.

[Someone Else]

Wtf why are you playing on Easy. ._.; You play Halo 3 online, why would you need to do Easy? XD That's why Big Daddies seem too easy to you...

[Caael]

Because i'm a wuss when it comes to games :B I play easy mode to know what to do, and then play higher difficulties when I know what to do. I was wondering why I haven't died yet <_<

[Someone Else]

Well, you can change the difficulty whenever you want from the in-game pause menu, remember.

[Caael]

I know I know. I might change it to Normal actually to heat things up a bit. Just for the hell of it, on the final boss i'll put it to Hard <_<

[Someone Else]

You'll need to, he was a little too easy on normal...

[Caael]

Yeah i've seen the vids ( i'm a cheating ******* :B )

[Moonear]

Goldeneye 007, aaaaah the graphics are so crappy, but the gameplay is great. I used to love this game.

[TheEnglishman]

Ah Goldeneye... So many memories...
I remember that I used to fall off the bottom of the platform in the last level, where you chase the guy the whole time. It was annoying, but kind of funny to watch Bond fall to his death. I think it must be the only way in the game to die without the blood going down the screen.

[Caael]

Shooting the floor with the rocket launcher?

Omg I actually remember the goldeneye rocket launcher sound. It was kinda a Psshhwheeeeeeeee

[TheEnglishman]

I remember the mission in the libary or whatever it was (after the mission where you meet Janus) and you can shoot all these continously respawning guards who try to enter the interrogation room. You can end up with enough weapons to beat a small army.

[Caael]

Facility is best level evar

[Moonear]

Oh yeah, that was the archives. Good times, good times. My favorite was the level with the train, where you run through this huge long train, killing everybody and destroying the brake cables, and then you find out the train will explode, so you have to destroy the floor with your watch laser. That was a good game.

[TheEnglishman]

I hated the end of that. I always shot Natalya by mistake.

[Caael]

Yeah! And when you paused the game, you looked into your watch.Yeah! And when you paused the game, you looked into your watch.

[Ironsight]

I tried finishing Corruption, but I couldn't find that last damn power cell :P

[TheEnglishman]

I'm playing FFX and seeing how long I can go before giving up again.

[Split Infinity]

I'm reluctant to go back to FFXII after I lost two hours of gameplay to an Entite which came out of nowhere and KO'd me.

If this game has a monster farm later on, they'll be my first victims. :(

[TheEnglishman]

I just got tired of the long time it took to level up. I know I'll end up going back to it one day though.

Yes, I know, laugh all you want. But it's fun, quirky, challenging, and most of all, the Wii motion controls with the remote actually work and make sense.

The most recent "full game" I've completed was, of course, Twilight Princess (about a month or so ago).

Yes, games designed for PCs do tend to be harder than those designed for consoles. :(

More evidence that all 360 games come out on PC, but better.
