What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

[Stray Cat]

My friend decided to be absolutely amazing and lend me her copy of Persona 3 FES (I've only played P3P) so that I could finally play through The Answer. Oh, and I bought To The Moon on PC last night, so there's that. 

Enjoy FES.  Probably still my favorite game of all time.

I know, just figured I'd give you some advice on that part since it's new and annoying.  Also, why haven't you beaten Dangan Ronpa yet?

 

 

 

Because I got bored of it.

Found a really interesting game yesterday called SpyParty. It's a 1v1 asymmetrical multiplayer game where one player (the spy) tries to blend in with the crowd of partygoers while completing missions such as placing a bug on someone or swapping a statue for a fake while the other player (the sniper) watches, tries to figure out who the spy is and is given one shot to kill the spy. A ton of fun if you like mind games.

There are a few downsides though. It's still in beta so the graphics on most of the levels are pretty crappy, although the more recent ones look really nice, it costs $15 and there's no matchmaking so far, and because it's very much a skill-based game it can take a while to find someone to play against, unless you're playing with a friend of course.

So if anyone has it or gets it, I'll gladly play with them.

Still playing Xillia 2. The first two and a half minutes of this, oh my God.

 

 

I am no longer mad about the lack of dual-audio. This is too good.

[nohman]

Destiny and Hearthstone. The grind is real (for both).

 

 

Got a Silent Assassin rating on A Vintage Year in Blood Money.  Is there even a point to escaping with the suit on?  It seems to be pretty impractical, even if you lose money because of it.

 

Logically, I guess it would be because you're leaving evidence behind otherwise. Once you get used to the stealth mechanics, it isn't that too tedious of a requirement.

Continuing Persona 4 Golden. Grinded until i got Rise up to level 61 for Relaxing Wave. Has made the dungeons a joke. Simply fight until out of SP, use a Goho-M, go to Yukiko's Castle, rush every battle until SP is restored, return to current dungeon. Fuck you Fox.

I know you already know this, but the end game for Persona 4 is a joke. There's only a couple of "difficult" bosses anyway, but they're all at the start of the game. I suppose it is as hard as you choose to make it though. That's one of the areas Persona 3 does better than Persona 4...

 

Nyx and Elizabeth are much more fulfilling than Izanami and Margeret.

The final boss of Persona 3 was awesome to fight. 4, not so much. 

The thing I really liked about the end game of 3 is that you can still brute force your way through it fairly easily, even at a low level. In 4, thanks to the SP issues, its much more tedious to do. 

[kratoscar2008]

Mass Effect 2 and then i will play Dragon Age Origins, will probably play The Evil Within when its released.

[BookwormOtaku]

Finished Episode 4 of Dual Destinies...that was certainly a surprising conclusion. Oh I was expecting a cliffhanger, but that wasn't what I was expecting to happen. Now to wait for my 3DS to recharge before I can find out what happens next.

[phersu]

Borderlands. Mutated fun for the whole family!

Yea, I was much more fond of the set floor teleporters than I was with the fox.   Hopefully 5 will go back to something like that.  I never minded getting tired either and found that aspect fairly entertaining.

Since the relic weapon is now the best thing EVER I am now starting to grind the nonsense out in ffxiv....

 

Stage 1 (atma) done in approximately 20 hours 47 minutes.  Stage 2 (animus) first book out of 9 done.  Stage 3 (novus) I already have the cash (roughly a minimum of 15 million gil on my server) to buy all the materia and I have all of the alexandrite from excess Allied Seals via elite mark hunting.  

 

I'm already despising myself.

[Stray Cat]

I finished One Piece Unlimited Red.  It is not a great game but it is definitely entertaining and a lot better than the usual poor quality stuff they send our way with franchise games.   I'd probably give it a 7.5.  If you're a fan of the series I'd definitely consider getting it.  Interestingly enough, there's a lot of extra stuff including story mode at a higher difficulty and a coliseum mode in which you have access to a pretty large cast of characters.  I'll probably play around with that for a while longer.

I'm guessing I'm at the end point of chapter 5 of Dual Destinies as Blackquill is about to give his real testimony...unfortunately for me my 3DS ran out of power just when said testimony started

[Cyrillej1]

I just got Fairy Fencer F for the PS3, and enjoying it so far ^^, it's almost like an rpg + visual novel type gameplay. The dungeon parts are in third person, where you can slash monsters running around to execute battle. The story portion is just like a VIsual Novel, it even has backlog for conversation and can replay dialog (that's first time I've encountered a console RPG that has something like that). The characters are interesting so far and amusing , I'm having fun with it!

[BookwormOtaku]

Finally finished the trial portion of chapter 5 of Dual Destinies...

So the killer was basically True Assassin

 

Guess tomorrow it's on to the DLC episode

[SilverLi]

Rome 2, I give you one more chance (probably ten). For an eastern empire! Go Armenia!

[BookwormOtaku]

Finished the main storyline for Dual Destinies; overall I'd say it's good. Better than the second game (though I will admit the second one has a better final act) and Apollo Justice (both of which I liked) but not as good as the first and third game or the Edgeworth game (haven't played the sequel...yet).

 

Now starting the DLC episode and all I have to wonder is this: if I lose the case does this happen?

Exactly. That's the part where they reveal Blackquill's a great cook.

I stayed strong. Nearly done with Persona 4 Golden. The new content is nice between 12/25-March. Awaiting Hollow Forest bullshit to unlock now. Hurry your ass up Margaret. 

[Stray Cat]

I enjoyed the DLC chapter quite a bit. I think 5 was probably my second favorite game (second only to 3) since all the twists were enjoyable.    I'd probably rank them as follows: 3>5>4>1>Investigations>2

I finally played the Smash Demo that's been sitting on my 3DS for a few days. The controls seem like they might take me a bit to get used to, but I'm decently excited for the upcoming release.

I also played Destiny for half a day yesterday instead of doing a number of things I need to do for school. I feel like I've made a mistake letting my friend talk me into buying it.

I'm looking to pick up Persona now. Do I want to start from the beginning, or does it not matter? Want to get into P3 first if possible.

There is basically no connection between the games.  I would recommend starting with 3 and 4 and then going back to 1 and 2 if you really really like the series.
