Started a new game on Yakuza today and this time I've gotten past an hour of gameplay! 2 hours in and I'm on chapter 4.
I'm enjoying it, though the combat feels too loose at times, and while it definitely has some of the feel, it's not a replacement for Shenmue, but I can respect it for being different.
Yakuza 2 is out soon, hence the restart, and I'm looking forward to the Japanese VAs, as the dub is pretty bad.
I've been shopping around for a PS2 just to get Yakuza. I should be getting one any day now, as long as nothing else comes up.
On the gaming side of things: hooked up the Dreamcast and have been playing a bunch of various games, such as Sonic Adventure 1&2 and Phantasy Star Online.
Been crazing over Mass Effect again. Been playing it for the past few days, and have completed two new storylines, and starting a third.
I want my level 60 achievement, damn it. 
Picked up EBA again and FINALLY beat Jumpin' Jack Flash on Sweatin'. Now I can play as Charlie's Angels. =D They also remind me of Azula's Avatar-hunting team from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Blonde looks like Azula, the little mousy Brunette looks like Ty Lee, and the Blue-haired technophile one looks like Mai.
Surprisingly have been playing a lot of N+ on the DS. It's pretty fun, I'm basically just trying to finish the damned thing so I can get back to FFIV...
Also, in my spare time at home, I've been trudging my way through Beyond Good and Evil... The game is still pretty awesome =D
I got all 16 badges in Pokemon Crystal, so I went and picked Tales of Phantasia back up, but I have to start from somewhere near the middle, instead of my save near the end. For those who have played, I was stuck in the room with Flambelk and was near dead. I was in no condition to fight him and couldn't go back through the dungeon, because of the fact that its filled with lava and the entire party loses health as you walk. Oh well... At least I know what I have to do now.
Also played the Transformer game (done in one day) and I'm trying to beat Megaman X7. Just gotta get through Snipe Anteater's level and kill him. Also still have to beat Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3... I'll be busy for a while.
Resident Evil 4, just started chapter 3 again.
Picked up Far Cry Instincts Predator for cheap and have been giving it a go. It's not bad, but pretty difficult.
Just downloaded a Nintendo 64 emulator onto my computer and the Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time rom. I've never played the game before, so I figure its about time I did. Also borrowed Zone of the Enders. I'm looking forward to see how the story turns out.
Klonoa 2, Kingdom Hearts, Team Fortress 2 and Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People Episode 2: "Strong Badia the Free". Quite the eclectic selection, I know.
I'm playing the last one currently as well. Klonoa 2 I managed to get and beat recently and I'm so happy I did. The game may be short, but it's so ridiculously charming.
Oh, I forgot Super Mario RPG. Always was an awesome title.
MEGA MAN 2! So happy for this one finally. also SBCG4AP 2.
Just completed Yakuza, and really enjoyed the story and characters, Yakuza 2 should be out now, so I may get that soon.
For now I need to complete Crisis Core.
Mario Kart Wii. Havent really unlocked anything yet, so I'm rocking through 100 CC cup. Why is Peach so SLOW >
Yakuza 2. Completed (the mostly cutscene filled) first chapter. Its good. Very good. But it doesn't feel like Yakuza unless there is one person shouting BRING IT ON +$*!!! every 15 seconds.
Other than that: Got into Beautiful Katamari again. With some of the DLC on offer. I'm starting to get good! I managed to get 100 points on Schloss Cosmos. Which is the best stage of the game.
HOLY FREAKING CRAP! I woke up in the middle of the night and knocked my PSP off of my nightstand! The little bastard now doesn't work due to the screen being broke! I was halfway through Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions too!
Currently playing:
Dragon Quest VII
Tales of Legendia
Half-Life (the first one on the PS2)
God Hand
Wanting to play:
Tales of Vesperia
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Infinate Undiscovery
I am playing Sonic Chronicles. I must say, it is quite good so far. Nothing mind blowingly orgasmic, but still very good.
Mega Man 9
Spore
Mega Man 9
Wario Land: Shake It
Mega Man 9
and Mega Man 9
You don't want to play Infinite Undiscovery, Eggpire.
You do NOT.
Earlier today, I picked Pokemon Emerald up once again. I wonder how long this bout of Pokemania will last, and will it pull Pearl into the mix.
You don't want to play Infinite Undiscovery, Eggpire.
You do NOT.
So that game really is underwhelming as everyone says it is? Disappointing.
Oh well, I'm playing Dragon Quest 4. Sooo coool! Maybe Eggpire sould invest in getting that instead.
Beat Mega Man 9 a few minutes ago. Damn, those Wily stages can be rough...
I've been playing through the excellent Kirby Superstar Ultra. Such an awesome game
GTA San Andreas, just messing around and replaying the game.
Wario Land: Shake It! and Kirby Superstar Ultra currently. Both are superb games. Sometime soon I plan on starting Zak and Wiki as well.
Yeah, I had quite a bit of interest in IU but it was completely dashed. There are a minimal number of things that I liked about it, mostly the potential with the story of an enchained moon, but the whole game is executed just horribly horribly poor. I could go into quite a bit of details but then I'd be writing for too long and creating too large a post. Suffice to say, don't waste money on it. Hell, its not even worth stealing.
Yah...still doing Galaxy....
This game isn't hard. Its annoying. And whoever thought of reversing controls for swimming, they need to die.
However, best part of game=Luigi's victory pose ! Comes outta nowhere! LOL.
Still , grand game. I think I'm halfway done, so I better get to it if I wanna beat it by Tuesday.
Awww man and I really thought IU would be great! I am going to pick up DQIV along with FFIV for the DS as soon as I get the dough!
PLAYING:
Tales of Legendia
Portal(again)
Dragon Quest VIII
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Cave Story. This is actually a pretty cool little game with a really nostalgic style.
Picked up Devil May Cry 4 quite cheaply so I'm playing that. Haven't played any other game in the series, but still enjoying it. There doesn't seem to be many action games around at the moment that aren't shooters, so it's a nice, slick change of pace.
Kirby 64
Trying to get all of the crystal shards. There's two that still evade me: The one in 2-4 that involves the switch puzzle with pictures of the moon, sun, water drop, cloud, leaf... fish thing... etc.
And the one in 4-4 that obviously involves destroying a rock that seems to disobey the "color-of-breakable-object-represents-what-ability-combination-you-need-to-destroy-it" rule the game has.
edit: okay, got the first one
Borrowed Infinate Undiscovery from a friend (he got PSU in return) man I should have listened! The game just feels broken to me! Awesome Premise just broken in the gameplay department! I should stop being stubborn!
PLAYING:
Infinite Undiscovery (360)Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
Final Fantasy V (PSX)
Sonic Chronicles (DS) *damn good game this one is!*
I've been playing a lot of Kirby Superstar Ultra. Just cleared Arena Now I only have one more game to finish... and also get everything in Great Cave Offensive and grab all the essences in Milky Way Wishes.
Resident Evil 4
Played some Mario Kart Wii... only the 2nd or 3rd time I've played it since I bought it D:
It seems to lack something imo. Online was amazing, but the game itself seems bland.
Also playing Force Unleashed... which has also lost its WOW factor. The 2nd level was cool, throwing stuff at stormtroopers... but that got old fast. The graphics, ESPECIALLY the cutscenes, look like crap =|. Definitely could have used some more polish.
Right now I'm playing Sonic Chronicles! Loving it so far story and gameplaywise; at first I was really having troubles getting the timing on some of the POW moves but now I'm doing a lot better, still need to work on them though. I just now started chapter 4 and got Shadow on my team.
Playing Kirby Super Star Deluxe. Man, Revenge of the King's final boss is annoying... XD
Still nursing Chronicles and level grinding as much as I can. It's pretty good, so I'm pleased.
In the meanwhile I'm juggling Majora's Mask (still not finished), Dragon Quest VIII (on hiatus, pending me managing to activate a cutscene) and Lunar 2 (on hiatus due to annoying boss and it only playing on the "house computer" which the two non-laptop owners use all the time.
I seriously need to finish Majora's. If only to justify getting to play Fire Emblem again...
Taking a brief break from Sonic Chronicles to run through Kirby Super Star Ultra. I less than three Meta Knight's Revenge.
Taking a brief break from Sonic Chronicles to run through Kirby Super Star Ultra.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD, CHARLES!!
Rogue Galaxy, which had an okay plot until it tanked once the writers decided foreshadowing wasn't needed. Now I just want to beat it so I can trade it in toward Little Big Planet.
Which looks awesome.
Been playing lots and lots of F.E.A.R. Fantastic game.
I'm gonna pick up the new Silent Hill game so i decided to play some of the older ones to freshen up! However i didn't know about the godawful game breaking glitch when you play SH2 on the 360! I had just beaten the 2 Pyrimid Heads right at the end and was getting ready for the final boss! I decided to take a break and since I love fighting those pyrimid Heads I decided to save in another file! There is a glitch that when you save in a second file the game will not load upon next play until you delete save data! That made me sooooooo mad!
Currently Playing:
Silent Hill: Origins (PS2)
Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams (Xbox)
Silent Hill 3 (PS2)
Silent Hill 4: The Room (Xbox)
Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
Sonic Chronicles (DS)
Just finished Sonic Chronicles meh. for shame Bioware
Now going back to Dragon Quest IV--yay! =D
Got Final Fantasy IV DS in the mail so planning on playing that after I finish DQ4 which is close.
I'd certainly like to see how far you've gone on the games your currently playing The Eggpire.
Bioshock. Purchased it a few days ago for 360 and have been addicted to it. Amazing, amazing game.
Now that I'm done with Sonic Chronicles, I'm moving on back to Dragon Quest and Majora's until I can get a hold on the new Vania.
Also borrowed Tricia's sibling's copy of Mega Collection to feel nostalgia.
