What are you currently playing?

[Daring Dylan]

Viva Pinata. It's addicting.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Silent Hill 2 and Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Nice games. Silent Hill 2 is pretty self-explanatory, but LoD:C is pretty cool. It's like a hack n' slash version of Star Wars Battlefront. It's made by the same people too.

 

[DarkDemonDestroyer09]

God of War 3,which I must say is EPIC!

 

[MasterOfEvil]

Need For Speed: Most Wanted

I played some Pokemon Platinum/Pearl/Diamond (all three) briefly this morning to collect an Event Arceus from GAME, otherwise I only intend to play FFXIII later this evening. Though I WISH they'd let me CHOOSE my party already, more often than not I'm stuck with two characters that I either dislike or can't use properly (probably the latter), I'd have alot more fun if I could pick characters I was good with lol

(Currently stuck with Snow & Hope, and now Fang & Lightning), both combinations just seem...awkward. Any tips?

Viva Pinata TiP and Perfect Dark for the 360.

 

[Keaton]

^That's a peculiar combination

 

[Devil Bane]

Out of curiosity I tried the Dead or Alive Paradise demo...I don't think I'm curious anymore...just a little pervert

 

[Keaton]

^LMAO! Atleast theres one DoA player who admits it XD
Just about to get onto FFXIII, although for a game I'm 'enjoying' I'm not actually looking forward to it ¬_¬;;

Difficulty in GODHAND is a little bit higher than i expected. 3 bosses in one battle.(Actually two on field and 3rd makes an occasional attack).Character is very open and dont think it follows a good combo system except for juggles.Another pain from capcom.

Oh,yes.I love women[and girls since I'm not THAT old...yet]

Still playing it.It seems a poor attempt as a demo,but the options and things you have and can do are pretty amazing for that kind of PSP game.Can't wait to have the full version of it.

Go Team Ninja.Go KOEI-Tecmo!

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Still playing Silent Hill 4: The Room. Let me just say that game is a total BRAIN****.

 

[A.$h!nati]

Invincible tiger on my 360

Well that makes a nice change, someone who admits to being perverted whilst playing that game, in fairness though, that game pretty much is just...Boobs...Lots of big, round boobies...

Damn, now I want to play DoA again.
What? Don't look at me like that, yes, I know I'm perverted.

Ditto, the plan was to play it and knock out the boring linear chapters this weekend so I could get to the free-roam bit, but it was such a struggle to play through one chapter that I couldn't be bothered to play any more, so you know what I did?

I played X3 Reunion all weekend, a completely open ended space game where you work your way to greatness in the universe, earning money, buying massive ships and building a huge fleet so you can participate in intense space battles like this.

 

[aka958]

^ That seems like a good exchange, but I can't see why linearity can be a problem. You do the same as a free roaming game just it's more funny fighting and the characters just aren't blanks either, all you lose is the choice of where your going to fight.

I just played FFVIII, I'm now at Disc 3 and gonna get Bahamut.

 

[Angelo Credo]

^ I appreciate linearity to an extent, I love FFVIII, IX and X, but XIII just failed to grab me in the same manner, I seem to care very little for the characters and turns of events, the thing about the original games is that there was always this sense of open-ness from the very start.

8 let you explore the entirety of Balmb island from the get go, which was nice, IX had some nice sprawley environments which were pretty to look at, and after the first chapter or so, you could ditch the main story line for a bit just to look around, do a few side quests and level up.

X, whilst having a similar sense of linearity that XIII has, still managed to keep me utterly enthralled with the plot line, just because so many intensely epic things happened, like the Sin attacks, but XIII as it stands just throws up the same boring combat against the same boring enemies and in my defence, I've given it 12 full hours of game time, that's more than I give most normal games.

It's underwhelming is all I'm saying, that's my personal opinion, I don't feel rewarded for having waited several years for this game.

 

[aka958]

^ But games like FFVII gives you a false illusion of non linearity, you think you can go freely but if you think about it, it is the same narrow path just a little wider.

 

[Angelo Credo]

^ Just one of the reasons why I think VII is a mediocre game at best.

 

[Ember To Inferno]

I attempted to play FFXIII, got really bored. So plugged in my PS2 and I am back to playing good old Another Century's Episode 3 (Unless you're a mech fan like, you'll never know what that is XD).

 

[aka958]

Angelo Credo, I just thought about something. How would you not like the character development? I mean, they are complete morons at some things (like Hope's revenge and Snow's I'm a hero thing.) but that is a part of the character development. I mean, chapter 8 really got me.
