What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

Battlefield Bad Company 2, all day everyday!


That game.... I freaking hate it. The game runs like crap on my PC, while I can play Crysis on medium to high, MW2 on max, I can't play BBC2 with nice FPS even on medium/low. On bigger maps, the game is a slideshow. Terribly optimalized, and the hit box detection is just silly compared to MW2. Maybe when I get a new PC I will try it again, because the gameplay in MP is enjoyable (or would be, if not for the things stated above). But then again I might not, cause BF3 might be around by then.

Hmm I didn't even give Saga Frontier 2 a chance, I tend to hate games that have some kind of item durability system in them, like Riviera: Promised Land, and to a lesser extent, Fire Emblem games. When a game discourages me from using something that I need to use, I know there is something wrong. While there is durability even in my most favourite game, Diablo 2, at least there it is easy to repair items, and its never such a hassle, more like an afterthought.


Since I lost my saves from Dragon Quest 3 (D'OOOOOOH), I had to look for something else.
At the moment, playing Tales of Phantasia (PSX version). I've been looking for a turn-based rpg so blindly, that I forgot to try some other battle systems. I am LOVING it so far. Being an anime fan, this game fits me quite well. The sprites are lovely, I like voice-acting during special moves, the battles are challenging and fun, and the encounter rate seems to be reasonably lower than the SNES version (or maybe I remember it wrong), the story is likable so far... what's not to like, I will probably check the other "Tales of" games, too bad Vesperia never made it to PS3 in english, and Graces F doesn't come till at least 2012.

I wish I didn't have to use a guide to play Dragon Quest 3 (snes), it's so hard to keep track of all the things I heard somewhere and finding out where I'm supposed to go next. Games like this could reeeeaaally use a quest journal or something.

If I didn't check a guide, I wouldn't even figure out where to find the final key, because I missed 1 single NPC that tells you where it is. Hopefully I won't have to look into the guide again, I like figuring things out on my own, but damn, with this type of games it's sometimes hard.

For a second, I thought you meant on RMN. (Clicked from the main page latest posts, not the forum index.)


While I am on this forum for the general talk about games (don't know much about the RMN community/games itself), I don't see a reason why you couldn't post some of your favourite RMN reviewers too, it still stays true to the topic.

And I might check them out if some of them also review commercial games (really don't know much about the RMN ones, know only a few rpgmaker games).

RADIANT HISTORIA!


One of the main reasons I come to these forums, always stumbling on some interesting games. Trying it out, the time-traveling is interesting enough, and I like grid based combat systems, not to mention the enemy juggling.

Modern Warfare 2 Hardcore TD never gets old, the more I play, the more I learn the maps, and after 14 days of logged playtime since the day I bought it, I dare to say I play pretty well. Almost always getting positive K/D ratio, supplying my team with UAVs, avoiding teamkills (usually), and guessing the positions of the enemy nicely. Too bad that being the top player with the best score means that people often call me a hacker, among other things. Not letting it get to me much, but it's still annoying (though sometimes amusing).

Favourite game reviewer?

Hi there, yet another of my question threads : Who's your favourite game reviewer (if you read/watch any)?

To start it off, I really like reviews by:

- Classic Game Room (HD), namely the recent ones, the guy has great accent, manages to make me laugh sometimes, and it's obvious he likes games a lot.

- Zero Punctuation, reviews done in quite a unique way. Almost always cracks me up when he's reviewing some game I played. One little problem is that there is no really punctuation, so it's sometimes hard to understand, especially when english isn't your native language

- RPGFan Reviews, I found a lot of great games just by browsing the reviews, sorted by rating


What's yours?

Apart from Dragon Quest 3 SNES, I'm also playing the always-fun Titan Quest (Diablo 3 or Grim Dawn still faaaaar away).

And also, Fish Fillets 2. Loved the first one, even though it was so damn hard I never finished even 2/3 of the levels. Great puzzle game with fun dialog. It was made by people from my country too! Not that I really care for my country that much, but it's good to see that we can produce some quality games (Mafia, Machinarium, Operation Flashpoint come to mind).

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

Playing Dragon Quest(Warrior) 7, as traditional as it gets. Liking the story(time traveling ftw), and the gameplay is great, just wish it didn't take 2 goddamn hours before I finally got into the first battle (didn't follow any walkthrough, and figuring out where I was supposed to go next was sometimes a pain).

Also, would be nice if the interface wasn't so clunky to use, such interface is fine on the snes, but on PS1, it could have been better. Apart from the monster attack animations, the game is pretty ugly for a PS1, but I don't care, good graphics don't really make the experience, only enhance it.


Also done a few scenarios on Battle for Wesnoth, what an awesome free game, and good for casual play, I just pop in, finish a mission, and go back to DQ7.


EDIT: Scratch that, for my first Dragon Quest game, I chose the SNES version of DQ3, after doing some research. Wanted something from the earlier era that still had a job system and voila, DQ3 it is. Is has a better feel to it anyway, the graphics are gorgeous for a snes game, at it "flows" much faster than DQ7.

And most importantly, I can adjust the combat message speed. In DQ7, the combat messages were so fast, I couldn't keep up, it was ridiculous.

EDIT 2: Juust finished InFamous 2... goddamn, I love when a game grips you during the last few missions and doesn't let go till the credits roll.... Great ending to a great game, loved it. Next on the list: being a total dick and going the evil route, not worying about collateral damage, oh yeeeah.

PS3 vs 360

author=Mitsuhide_The_Vagrant
Personally, though, as video games are my passion, I like every single system equally. So much so that I want them all. They all have their own pros and cons, but what the fuck doesn't. My motto: "quit squabbling and just play some games."


Hit the nail precisely on the head.

I got a ps3 simply because I could choose only one, but when I get the money, I will (hopefully) get all of them , want to play games on PS2, XBOX, Wii, DS and PSP, each of them has some games I'd like to try eventually.

PS3 vs 360

What Fallen said, when I was deciding which console to buy, I checked the games available, and went for PS3 for God of War, Infamous, Disgaea 3 etc....

Someone else might like shooters, so he would pick the 360 for GoW and Halo (I don't see why would anyone like them, but that's just my opinion)...

It's just a matter of what games you want to play. Sure, both consoles have their pros and cons, and you can list them all you want, but without their games, both consoles are just a piece of junk.
