WHAT GAMES ARE YOU PLAYING THESE DAYS

[kode54]

Did you already check the cue sheets for bad filenames? Some idiots like to leave absolute paths or other mistakes in their cue sheets when distributing them.

[franpa]

I've just played through Portal for the first time, was a pretty good experience considering I knew very little about the game other then it was good.

[Johan_H]

Playing Painkiller for the first time and it's quite enjoyable.
Though seriously, why the fuck does this game not have a co-op mode?
Anyone know of a hack or mod or something?

that did it.

and that's the first time i've ever had to check a cue sheet.

looks like i'll also be keeping daemon, then. why virtual clonedrive refuses to load cue sheets is beyond me.

Just got to playing a little bit of Pokemon Heartgold today, I beat Red

The very first cue sheet I ever downloaded was bad.
It proved to be a fair introduction to the concept.

HeartGold. Never played the original so this is totally new.

[adventure_of_link]

Warioware: Touched
New Super Mario Bros DS
Pokemon Heartgold
Pokemon Diamond

I also got to playing a little bit of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and New Super Mario Bros Wii...

[Johan_H]

Hydorah
Friggin freeware game of the year so far.

[Rashidi]

any GBA games that you'd recomend for me, that is:

1. in english
2. do not require precise eye & hand coordination / reflects, since i sucks with that kind of game
3. no sport or racing
4. non-'meh' game, that based on your judgement, not mine (yeah, there was someone who recommend me shity games that he don't like himself)

That sorta reduces everything down to FFTA, Golden Sun and maybe Minish Cap if you can pull the hand-eye coordination needed for a zelda game.

[Johan_H]

I hear good things about Advance Wars too. Haven't played any of them myself yet though.
Speaking of which; which would be the best one to pick up today if I wanted to play one? Right now it looks like probably Dual Strike.

[SquareHead]

Currently playing the Rocket Knight release on steam.

[sweener2001]

FFX, splinter cell: conviction, torchlight

soon, the witcher.

finally (FINALLY) getting to put together a new computer.

[kode54]

Just finished Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on my Wii Virtual Console, and even though I didn't get the game over screen once, I managed to rack up a total of 9 games. Boo.

Also playing Super Mario Galaxy, I already have 11 stars now.

I'm probably going to start playing Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on Virtual Console, since I bought that a couple weeks ago. Still one of my favorites, and I always go for 100% completion, even if it is a big pain in the ass, but it makes the final boss dead easy. (Hmm, one of these days, I should try completing the final boss without that glorious kill everything mask.)

dying and being revived by a fairy counts. red/blue potions ftw.

[kode54]

The thing is, I didn't even use 9 fairies. At least, I don't think I did.

[odditude]

save/quitting counts, too. no saving to avoid deathcount like in nes zelda.

I've done it before [spoiler]basically you use the Zora mask first, then with Majora's Incarnation, you use the Goron mask, then for Majora's Wrath, you spam (light?) arrows at it, and just slice him up.[/spoiler]

having said that, I've been playing the following this weekend:

Pokémon heartgold
Pokémon Pearl
New Super Mario Bros
Final Fantasy 4 DS
Warioware: Touched

why? you usually earn more than you pay to play, and unless your luck is horrible it usually doesn't take all that long to get the heart piece.

speaking of lttp on vc, anyone else notice that the ice palace puzzle was dramatically simplified?

Only took me like 10 tries to get the heart piece there.

Oh, and the chest shop? Got it on the second try, and picked up 100 rupees both times.

I thought only the GBA version simplified that. I still had to find the switch crystal, then circle around completely to push the block into the hole.

memory fail on my part. i played the gba version most recently.

modnation racers is quite impressive. my gf's been hogging the ps3 because of it.

It's the random element with the largest part of luck - the chest game doesn't even come close.
I already had a game where I needed ~30 tries to get it (and another time where I got it in first try).


Unless you TAS, you can't exactly say how long your game will be. Which can be problematic.

Only took me like 10 tries to get the heart piece there.

Decent luck. Hope for a repeat next time (if you even want a 000 game).

yea, no issue with that one (it feels like the fragment has only 3 possible locations or smth).

[Gil_Hamilton]

See, if I don't get the heart piece fast, my patience wears out, and I just say screw it and beat the game with 19.75 hearts. Possibly LESS!
