Little bit of...

CV, CVIII, CVIV, Ninja Gaiden II, Kirby, Kung-Fu, Ghosts N' Goblins, FFX, Maui Mallard, KOF XIII, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest VIII

Need to beat FFX, and Chrono again, and actually beat Odin Sphere and Rogue Galaxy for the first time. >:(

Been playing Dungeons Of Dredmor since they've finally ironed out some crash and save issues with the new patch... great Roguelike game.

I've started Tear Ring Saga. It made by the guy who made Fire Emblem but it's for PS. So, it plays like Fire Emblem but it's not Fire Emblem.

I just beat FF Tactics: War of the Lions again for the twentieth time.  I think I'm going to give Tactics Ogre PSP a whirl next, I hear it's quite good.

I was playing an action MMO that was in beta called Path of Exile, but I went on one day, and no one was there, and then the next day, and the next day, and I didn't check it for a week or two and still nothing, so now I'm just waiting for the game to be finished when they wipe everyone's characters so I can start fresh.

FFA and FFL are some of my fav gb games. FFL I really liked. Wasted a shit load of double a's on that game...

So you would recommend the other gameboy "Final Fantasy" (or really SaGa) games then? FFA is good and was thinking it might be interesting to see if turn based combat on the GBA has aged as well.

About 2/3rds of the way through FFA I think and getting a little tired of it, those stupid parts where you have to freeze the enemies and place them on levers are x10 harder than any of the bosses. It's a very good game just fairly repetitive*, which is to be expected in an 8bit RPG, and I have a small attention span.

In any case I'm glad I played this one first so I'll have context for the next time I attempt to get into Secret of Mana.

*I've honestly lost count of all the rinse and repeat dungeons I've cleaned out.

Fucking love FFA. By far my favorite of the Mana games and one of my favorite Game Boy titles.

I've tried to enjoy FFL but it seems like there's a ton of underlying systems that the game just doesn't bother to explain that totally confound me.

Well, was closer to the end than I thought I was lol. Beat FFA, pretty good game I must say. Very well written. I love that they tried to invest a lot of emotional depth and character to the story, within the limitations of the format they did a wonderful job. That makes 2 great 8bit RPGs I've played through this year, along with Phantasy Star.

If I have one complaint* it's that all of the bosses felt very samey. The vast majority of them had the same attack pattern, so it feels like you're fighting a reskin with slightly different stats. Which is ok in turn based RPGs because that's pretty much exactly what you're doing, but brings down this kind of combat. And after getting the cure spell all but 2 or 3 of the many bosses, including all 3 forms of the final boss, can just be wailed on while spaming self-heals until they die. Still though in spite of these minor flaws, fantastic game.

Ahh, well I got the instructions and map for FFL in the lot sale with my copy of FFA so maybe that would help?


*Other than the music, which was repetitive and nails on chalkboard coming out of my GCN Gameboy player after a while, but was alright on the GBA. So that's probably more the fault of the my TV for not being designed with gameboy music in mind.

I've been playing Wipeout 2048 recently. I'm thinking about getting Dracula X Chronicles for the Vita and preordering Persona 4: Golden tomorrow.

New to the boards, and figured I'd make my first main post in one of my favorite types of gaming forum topics.

Anyway, I've been playing Shining in the Darkness for the Genesis recently. I've tried the game out for a short period of time a few years back, but this is the first time I've put any considerable amount of time into it. Considering I enjoy a lot of first-person dungeon crawlers, I've having a lot of fun with it.

Lately I've been playing some SMB1, SMB2j, & SMB3 because I'm making a new Platformer Engine for GameMaker based on their physics.

Will be playing some Torchlight 2 tomorrow, once it's launched onto Steam... aw, hell yeah. Steampunk Diablolike goodness.

For those interested, here's some late pre-release footage...

 It seems to be cool, but I've played this type of game for so many time that Im tired of this, I need a break until I can enjoy it again.
