The NEW Game Journal

[Tomara]

Still replaying Tales of Vesperia. I'm halfway through and the secret missions are going well. Raven is awesome! I enjoy playing as him and his AI saved my butt a bunch of times. He completed secret mission 12 all on his own while Nan (the last one standing) had only 2000 HP left. The best part? He used a normal attack, not a combo or base arte, just one normal attack. It worked because he is awesome.

Dragon Age 2.Full steam ahead

[SonicDeathMonkey]

Still playing King's Bounty... (the only game resembling an RPG that I'm currently playing)
still thoroughly addicted, but I could see myself tiring of this after one time through...
the only thing that breaks up the monotony of the quests is finding troops with unique abilities... which happens often but that's the ONLY thing that changes up in the game other than what enemies you have to defeat to finish a quest. Strategy exists but it's always very obvious...
Whatever. the writing's great and it's a very entertaining game on the whole.

Playing some Red Dead. Game is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion


Can't remember the last time I actually just explored a game environment with such enthusiasm.

I'm about 8 hours into DA2, just met Isabella, and am just going through the side-quests. Girlfriend isn't too fond of me huddling in my computer room for hours on end so I sadly am not sure how much I'll be able to play.

Also playing Final Fantasy 4 on my ds. Just beat Rubicante. That game will be thrown aside the moment I get out to buy Pokemon White.

I just beat the 7th Gym and Dragonspire Tower in Pokemon White. I'm startting to assemble my tram for the Elite Four:

Tynamo
Haxorus
Seismitoad
Drilbur
Zebstrika
Krookadile

I think I need a fire type, basically something to deal with Grass/Bug pokemon. I might also be too heavy on the ground type pokemon, but most of them have a second type that helps negate weaknesses.

Finished Enslaved today. Meh.

Finished three chapters of Bayonetta. Much more fun - especially the driving level.

[Alexander]

Had the Phantom Sword crafted.  Plot twist with Linebeck and Jolene (even though I knew about it beforehand) was funny.  Should be able to defeat Bellum soon and move on to Pokemon!

[Yoda]

oh no, labyrinth zone in sonic...childhood flashbacks!

I'm not sure if I've had enough alcohol to tackle this

You have NO idea how good that game gets. I cannot wait to actually purchase it just so I can play through it again.

Trudged a little through Pokemon White today, plan on beating the 4th gym soon.

DQIX: Grounded up a pair of Vesta Gauntlets from Equinox. Now onward to Shogum and his Apprentice Gloves.

Sonnvabitch! This week was the first top armors week in the DQVC and go figure that the first item I get is a second fucking pair of Vesta Gauntlets.

Oh well, at least I've also gotten both the top shield and top helmet since.

[Yoda]

the amount of dialog in red dead is unreal. I'm playing a mission where you break the rebel leader guy out of jail. I got near the end but I rode my horse off a cliff and died. On the 2nd try they had a completely different conversation during the mission.

Pretty cool, but two unique conversations for one situation is far out

I just beat Atelier Iris Eternal Mana. I loved every single of minute of it. Oh, and Dice, apparently the trick to avoid crashing after the final battle is turning off the voice acting.

Also made some progress in Radiant Historia - made it to Chapter 2 in both timelines.

[D-Rider]

Dragon Age 2 is going along quite smoothly.  Haven't seen the game over screen in quite some time; your characters get really powerful from level 15 on.  I just witnessed the most bizzare, out of left field way to kill a major character that I've ever seen in a video game. :P

Yay!  Glad you didn't find out the hard way. =)

I got further in Radiant Historia.  Little else to say beyond.  Why are political stories so easy to be so good?  Suikoden, this, some of the minor instances in Tales have been a real delight.
