RPGFan Super Game Journal Turbo II - The New Challengers

[Lord Scottish]

I played Half-Life.

And by "played", I mean "sat through that long ass train ride, got bored, and turned the game off". What a fucking drag.

Just finished the last Haggleman 3 challenge in RGC.  Now it's time to finish all the games for the final ultimate challenge.  wheee.

And by "played", I mean "sat through that long ass train ride, got bored, and turned the game off". What a fucking drag.

As a person who hates most FPS games, I'll tell you that you should keep pressing on.  You're basically done with the opening once you're done with the Tram, and the action starts to really pick up immediately and pretty much never lets up.

On the genesis collection I got addicted to Dr. Robotnik M.B.M.....so I basically wasted a night on that haha...I'm almost done with the whole thing.  Other than that I started the port for ps2 of Harvest Moon:  Innocent Life.  I've had it for a while just never played it.  So far this is the worst Harvest Moon I have ever played.  I know it's just a port of a psp game, but still.  I'll have to play some more, but so far that's my opinion.

Finished Ys II Complete. Overall, it was good. I had fun for what it's worth, but the bosses in this game were a pushover compared to Ys I Complete. I had the hardest time with the last two bosses in Ys I, but in Ys II they dropped like flies. Pretty disappointing considering that I was expecting some epic battle like the one I had in I where I literally stayed up all night trying to beat the last boss. Well, some more Suikoden III and Oath in Felghana up next.

Retro Game Challenge- I'm not very good at Haggleman.  Then again, I was never very good at platformers.  Talking to kid Arino is funny.  I also love how he calls me "man" and "dude" even though my character is a girl.

I hated Ys 3.  The game is broken as all hell, to the point of being nearly unplayable.  Any game where you die in a few hits CANNOT also have messy hitboxes.  I need to be able to tell where an enemy is capable of hitting me, and with Ys 3's crazy messed up hitboxes that is impossible.

True. Except you can swing your sword fully automatic and just let the enemies walk into it. So, it's pretty easy. It reminds me a bit of the Genesis game Exile in that sense.

Anyone else like Ys 3?

I do, despite how pathetically easy it is.  There's absolutely no point playing it in a post-Oath in Felghana world, though. :P

It blows me away that a lot of people talk about how hard this game is. Yes, you can die in one hit. But so does everything else. I'm through the second dungeon and so far haven't had too much trouble.

[Lord Scottish]

Ugh, looks like Half-Life is another one of those FPSes that gives me motion sickness. :( It is fun, though.

[Draak]

Okami - Will this game ever end? Beat Ninetails and now I have to go after another baddie in god-knows-where. It's like Mario and the whole "the princess is in ANOTHER castle" thing. Still, I'm enjoying every minute of this game. So much fun.

[Dincrest]

Finally got past the HaggleMan challenges in Retro Game Challenge.  I didn't really like it (despite it being a good platformer), but then again I suck at platformers.  I'm not looking forward to Haggleman 2. 

I killed the Rally Car and Star Prince challenges pretty easily because I like racers and shooters.  Star Prince is a really great shooter.  One of the most fun shooters I've played in a long time.  I'm now doing the Rally Car SP challenges. 

Star Prince is easily my favorite in Retro Game Challenge right now.

Finished Bioshock yesterday. I've already started my second playthrough and planning my third... The hard playthrough will have to be third, I literally cannot survive past the first scripted splicer fight just inbetween Neptune's Bounty and the medical pavillion, jesus.

Also finished Phantasy Star Universe tonight. I was more pissed off at the butchering of Lutz ("Roo-tsu" my ass) than the butchering of Phantasy Star. That's how mediocre the game is. :P

I want to start up Lost Odyssey, but I want to get the 1,000 points in one sitting and being glued to a guide for that puts me off. :P

[Aeolus]

6 hours in and I just acquired Momo in Xenosaga I. -_-

Overall this game is taking a long time to get started (although nowhere near as bad as DQ VII). I too have to agree with the general consensus of more KOS-MOS and less Shion.

No further progress in the other games otherwise.

[GrimReality]

Went ahead and bought Castle Crashers. Fun game. My son(8 year old) and I were playing it together the other night and he was having a blast. Good times.

Mass Effect - I find myself going to random planets and driving around looking for stuff. I'm starting to wonder why everything looks the same, no matter which planet I go to. Still enjoying the game, regardless. I'll keep doing random stuff for a bit until going back to the main quest.

[Lard]

Since I lost my saves for DDS 2 and Grandia 3 (FUCK), and can't play Valkyria Chronicles like I planned, I started up Skies of Arcadia Legends.

[Losfer]

Up to mission 35 with Grand Master on all difficulties in Tenchu Z.  The random pit traps in places where a pit trap does not make sense is starting to annoy me quite a bit.

My character looks damn awesome though.

Rumble Roses XX -- Not bad actually.  It's pretty fun and has lots of eye candy, but it takes something like 800 hours to get a full 1000 gamerscore from it, so...  Yeah, I'll play it every now and then and delete it off my list so it doesn't affect our %.

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

Been playing the original Devil May Cry as of late.  This game hasn't exactly stood the test of time, but it's enjoyable enough.

I also started playing Warhammer Online again.  This shit is coming together quite well (definitely moreso than when I last played it), although the end game is still rather nonexistent.
