What are you guys up to, game-wise?

Shadow of the Colossus, Jak 3

Both are excellent, although Jak 3 can be aggravating at times.

I almost forgot:

BAD MOJO, the 2006 re-release. Excelent and pretty original game, although it has one HUGE FUCKING BUG: When you bring up the menu in certain areas, when you get back to the game, you can appear in a totally different place than before, often stuck in a place you can't get out off.

Just bought a copy of SaGa Frontier. Time to throw my social life out the window.

Yeah, I remember that. Bought the game ages ago when it came out. Loved it.

I dare say that Grid Wars is far better.

Just started up a game of Breath of Fire 2. It's so much easier than I remember it being when I was a kid

Maybe sticky this thread? There's already a "what are you're listening to right now" I mean.

This game was totally rushed. I wish they remake it and FINISH it the way it should've been.

Blue's ending is cryptic as hell. Game Over? The End? Did I die? Was the guy invincible? Did we just fight forever? Oh, and this is a Spoiler

Vault Dweller · Post by **Vault Dweller** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:30 pm

Sadly, its true. The game needs one hell of a revamp. I'm surprised Square hasn't tried to port or remake it yet, honestly.

On a different note, I have continued my trend of not finishing games and hopped over to Rogue Galaxy in an attempt to keep me awake. I need to keep going for six-and-a-half more hours, and the game works wonders.

Im baffled to see that you can only get Luigi in the very end of Galaxy. Seriously, WTF? Nintendo has to start getting some extra quests after games., you know, kinda like in the Oracles.

What are you up to, game-wise?

Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast. Still good after all these years...Just turn off the volume and you should be able to avoid insanity.
Unfortunately, I've read the PS2 port is quite the crap.

sweener2001 · Post by **sweener2001** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:04 pm

got back into halo 3 to get the meta score achievements. hoping to beat it on legendary over break. that will just leave the multiplayer achievements.

not sure if those will ever happen. i'm not so hot at the multiplayer.

and getting back into marvel ultimate alliance so i can unlock and try out the silver surfer.

It is. Most of the time while driving, many parts of the city aren't even loaded yet.

I'm still trying to get the last 3 gold boat parts on Zelda: PH.

Can't trade with most people here because they don't have any spare, and the one person that does, has the American version of the game which doesn't connect to the Euro version for some stupid reason (why the hell not, other games work cross-region).

Bunny Must Die (and/or Chelsea and the 7 Devils)
I know it's been out for months now, but I only got to it recently. -_-;
It's made by Murasame, which is a good hint at the awesome.

Fairly good metroid clone, a bit short but great music and clean design. Also fuckload+15 of replay value, since it has a hidden goal list of crazy stuff to pull (and you don't know what they are beforehand... think vagrant story or star ocean 3).
Bunny has some slick moves with some undocumented ones in the pack for kicks (and sequence breaking), and Chelsea's a friggin powerhouse on crack.

Slightly buggy even with both update patches (better not alt-tab...) and doesn't like my cruddy usb pad, so I owned it with the keyb. Difficulty low to medium, with some batshit loco stuff to get 100% (especially true for Bunny). Bosses aren't very hard, except for one *cough*(how are you gentlemen ?... you'll get it if you play the game)*cough* against whom moonread-challenged players will smash their head more than once (just don't look at him, geh).

Overall, a very entertaining way to burn hours. Get it now if you didn't already.

Thanks, though nowhere near Super Metroid levels, still excellent game. Haven't finished the game yet, just defeated the boss you made reference to, thought it was pretty easy actually, just go behind him before he appears and shoot him from a medium distance, and when you see he's about to do the one-kill explosion thing, just run away...or is it just a matter of not facing him? either way it works - repeat pattern.

Also, for those curious the link from the official site is only a short demo btw.

WTF? it's a mario game, and you want side quests? they gave you Luigi for Pete's sake what more do you want?

back to the point

currently playing JSRF (Jet Set Radio Future) I can't figure out how so many people hate these games.

Wait, many people hate JSRF? I thought it was the other way around.

Panzer88 · Post by **Panzer88** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:32 am

??? it hates people? I don't even understand that

All I know is I love both JSR games a lot, and smilebit in general. I want those peeps to get back together and make another amazing game. I don't know why sega didn't continue their big franchises after the dreamcast, I mean it's like sonic team but they've dissolved like all the other studios besides AM2 (or whatever they are calling it now)

I wouldn't mind seeing another smilebit, or overworks game.
