Topic: What game(s) have you been playing lately?

[TatteredSeraph]

Yup, I also watched Embers.  Yup, I cried more, even though I hate the animation style for it.  The first time that I watched it, my heart was hammering the whole time.That emotional connection to a game's characters is what I look for if possible in a game.  It's why, for all of its faults, I do admit that I love Lords of Shadow.  Another bit in Revelations that gets me is when Ezio gets back from Cappadocia, and runs back to Sofia's shop to try and find her... but find Yusf.  Yes, Revelations overall might be my least favourite of the AC2 trilogy in terms of setting, but it definitely has some of the best heartstring moments.  In the main game, the bit near the start when Ezio is unable to gave Giovanni, Frederico, and Petruccio....  I think that it's just a near perfect game series in its own right.  I don't really care for the other games (I have AC1 and 3), but find Cinor irritating, Haytham's pretty cool, but overall no where near a patch on Ezio, and Altair's too blatantly American accent bugs me.  His voice acting in Revelations is much beter.

I brought Terraria on PC last Saturday and since then, I've been playing it nonstop.

I just got into Hardmode and not even ten minutes in that I got murdered by the Twins when I was farming for Spider Fangs.

Just finished the Witcher 2 last night. Great game...I loved that it wasn't a hopelessly massive RPG just for the sake of being massive, just like the first one. I'm excited to play the third one now, but that probably won't happen for a while.

Now I need to get back to the Shadow Warrior remake.

3 days ago, i've finished Tales of Graces F and now i'm about to go through the bonus scenario.

[Bloodreign]

Been playing KoF 02 UM via emulation, shame a copy of the best version of that fetches $150+.

It would look good next to my Japanese copy of 98 UM.

BloodRayne Betrayal. It's a decent game, especially in anticipation for Bloodstained.

[Inccubus]

Dark Souls. Finally got around to trying it out. It's great. Seems a lot more like an LoZ game functionally than a CV. On the other hand, the level design is exactly what a 3D CV really needs.

Castlevania Chronicles PS1 (JP, PSN):
Revisited. It's no doubt THE first for me and I can proudly stand straight and say "My all-time favorite video game STILL".

Rockman 4 (JP, PSN):
Just beat it recently. I just can't get it as what the blue bomber is fighting for. Don't get it. Bought 5 and 6 on JP PSN for respect of the company but probably won't pick them up

Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert (Alternate mode of RKS):
I love the control scheme because the dash function gave me a feeling of "speed demon" which I can't found in modern 2D action games, it really works and handy, though it has some problems (It's very difficult to control you position pixel-perfect when you are doing moves requiring that; There are a lot of things like this in RKS. Pamela's quest in RKSF has fewer problems because of stage design).
The golden palace part 1 has really good music which became one of my most favorite track in any video game
The things I don't like: The spider which requires mechanical reaction, the devil egg whose body part attack needs every single moment no-suck-ball, and the randomness of final boss.  With the current direction of planner and producing circle being unrelated I still hope that there would be a third (Probably the final) RKS game thus made a perfect 2D action trilogy in the new generation. (The fate of Rockman ZXA is warning the circle...)

EDIT: If the engine used by RKS could bring us a Castlevania game (or CV like game) it would be THE masterpiece thus I don't need to have another. WOMI is just very lazy as he got rid of the very possibly Castlevania-esuqe plan for his own need, no known sequel since RKSF and he is now not doing anything except drawing porno pictures. Damn.

EDIT2: Fuck, The game's information page hasn't been changed since late 2013. Totally disappointed. Fuck it.

Ohh man, recently I started new games on my PSP copy of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and my PS2 copy of Kingdom Hearts II.

Both bring warm feelings to my heart.

Except for KHII Aerith's english voice. She still sounds like a teenage cutter.

Just got to playing FF XIV. I'm still getting the hang of things but it's interesting to play so far.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Neko Atsume. It's so cute and you don't have to do anything. haha.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Hit up Skyrim again, and burned through another 20 hours of my life starting up a new Altmer mage. Lilith Nightstar is going to rustle the Thalmor's jimmies in the WORST POSSIBLE WAY.

¡Viva la revolución!

Picked up Shadow Warrior again, this time I'm going through a New Game+ (or EX Mode, as it is here) on Hard. Using a secrets guide to find all the hidden items and unlock all of my skills, powers, and weapons upgrades. Pretty fun.

Still liked Wolfenstein - The New Order better in this regard. What I did was go through both timelines on Hard (since you can go back and select by chapter), and then steamroll through Uber Mode with all my upgrades, and not have to worry about finding secrets anymore.

Last night I played TMNT Hyperstone Heist...I was surprised how easy this one was for a Turtles game, especially the bosses. Still fun, though.

Also played Contra Hard Corps, but I had to break out the Game Genie for that one. Got a lot easier once I realized you have a window of invincibility while sliding. It seems like there are some attacks that can only be avoided with the slide and nothing else.

Now I just got through 2 of the endings on Hard Corps without cheats (one on the giant missile and the other against Red Falcon). Woohoo! I'll keep trying for the remaining 3 endings...

Out of curiosity and wanting to learn Shulk's background (since his introduction into Smash Bros), and because the original was hailed as being a pretty great game, I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.
...
...*ahem*
..."I'm really feeling it!"
 






It's...sad how much I just laughed at that.   

[NetSphereEngineer]

Trying to keep in my quest to finish all Castlevania games in the official timeline!

Playing right now: Akumajou Densetsu and Castlevania Curse of Darkness

But I'm tempted after finish this 2 to play Shadow Tower Abyss

So many games so little time
