Been playing Resident Evil 4 on and off since most my playing time's been dedicated to StarFox: Assault. It's pitifully short even compared to the original and SF64, but just as addictive. Gotta few more areas to get gold on...

Obviously we are up to the same thing.

Recently beaten:

Resident Evil 4 (about 6 times, seriously, back-to-back)
Tales of Symphonia (the 3rd time)
Super Mario 64 DS

Currently playing:

Star Fox: Assault
FFT (for the thousandth time)
Baten Kaitos
Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Tomba!

One of these days I'll start FFVII... I haven't played it since I was like 12 or 13, so I don't think I really got it all. I know I didn't understand at least some of it. I haven't beaten 8 or 9 completely yet either, though I can't find neither one of them. I'll have to borrow them...

I know, it's pathetic, but I'm much more into the SNES ones...

And I might buy Vagrant Story. Is that game any good? I care more about the story than anything else.

Yes, buy it. The battling is good, but the story rocks too. I heard a sequel is due out...

Devil May Cry 3 (birthday present) - This is already one of the best action games I have ever played, but it's somewhat ridiculously difficult.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - I nearly finished this Xmas present about a month ago and then took a break; now to finish the job.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow: All of the CastleMet discussions on this site prompted me to do a New Game+ of this baby. Turns out there's more weapons to be found in that mode.

Lemme think...

Tales of Phantasia: (Snes/Rom) This'll be my 12th attempt, I always lose interest after playing for so long.

Smash Bros Melee: (GC) Have chars, I need the last 9 trophies!

Kirby's Adventure/Dreamland: (Nes/Rom) I never got to play this before, so now I am.

Chaos Legion: (PS2) I got like 4 levels left.

That's all right now.

Sweet. I only just started it, and DMC 3 is taking an inordinate amount of time, so the only cool new weapon I've gotten so far is the Kaiser Knuckle.

But seriously, if you like action games, you need to play DMC 3. It's only for the hardcore, but it outdoes the original in every way imaginable and is slowly becoming one of my favorite all-time games.

Hah, no, not yet.
Last trophy I got was Giga-Bowser's.
I'm not sure all of what I'm missing, but I know for sure I dont have
- Food (Need 1000 vs. matches)
- Crazy Hand (Notta damn clue how to get sleep.gif)
- Pikimin Guy (Have a file of Pikimin 1 on memory card)
- Celebi (See Celebi in Pokeball)

There's others, but I don't what.

Oh, also I've started playing Zombies ate my Neibors again ^-^
(Had to stay somewhat on topic, lol)

Yeah, same here. I got Giga Bowser's last (though it was like 4 months ago).

-Celebi is VERY easy to get. Just go into a Melee fight with PokeBalls on common and go to town.

-Pikmin is annoying to get...kuckily my friend has the game...

-Food doesnt take long...

-Crazy Hand is impossible...

Good luck!

Oh, Laszlow, is DMC3 as hard as they say?
It's supposedly the hardest game in a while...
And its not crap...like DMC2, right?

One more thing:
Is the song from the original trailer in the game?
*crosses fingers*


Oh.....and.....uhh....I've been playing FFV and FFVI.

DMC 3 is a LOT like the original DMC but awesomer. Instead of having all of the devil arms be the same weapon with different power and speed levels (ala DMC 2), all of the devil arms are freakin' badass, from the triple-pronged nunchaku to the electric guitar that summons lightning. It also has a pretty solid plot for an action title, with some of the most impressive cutscenes I've ever seen. Add the purposefully overdone 90s "badass partydude" style Dante and you have my favorite action game since Symphony of the Night.

Audio and visuals are great, basically in the tradition of DMC 1 with lots of creepy organ and chorus mixed with metal and techno, better than the original but not an epic musical score. The graphics are amazing, and I've yet to see any slowdown despite the number of deadly-dangerous enemies that Capcom decides to surround me with. The two trailers that you can find pretty much anywhere do a good job of showcasing the game's graphics and music, and the game is every bit as good as the trailer makes it out to be.

But yeah, it's really hard. I consider myself a skilled gamer and I've played it for about four hours thus far, but just under an hour shows up on the playing time because I've managed to beat a whopping three missions in those four hours. It's supposed to get easier once you unlock the Devil Trigger ability, but from what I see the enemies in the game offset Dante's insane moveset by being incrediculously difficult.

Well there's my mini-review. Get it or rent it now.

I've been playing DMC 3 on Normal for almost four weeks now (not exclusively, but still...), and I still haven't finished it.
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
Stupid demonic chesspieces kicking my ass over and over again....
Outside of DMC, I've been playing Katamari Damacy and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (again) when alone. Playing with others, the tendency nowadays is Street Fighter 3: Third Strike (on the Anniversary Collection), Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Tekken 5. I don't own any of those three, but they all seriously rock.

I am currently playing Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits for PS2. I'm about a little over 20 hours into the game and I'm enjoying it. It definately isn't a Final Fantasy killer but I like it.

Final Fantasy X(yup, again)

Kingdom Hearts(Expert Mode)

Sudeki(Xbox)

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30(Xbox)

and some online NeoQuest II.

April 10th 2005, I have finally beaten Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. I have never gotten such a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from beating such an excellent, excellent game. Easily my favorite game of this generation of consoles.

Anywho, that means I'll have some other titles wasting my time, including:

Grandia: it was a weird coincidence that I found this game (for thirteen bucks, no less) mere days before the news was posted about Grandia III. So far it's been excellent, definitely recommended.

Parasite Eve 2: I actually got both 1 and 2 for a gift from a friend two years ago (we always give each other recommended classic games for B-day presents, I gave him Symphony of the Night last year) and played and enjoyed one but never got around to starting 2. It seems better than the first one.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: I had an N64 ages ago but gave it away. I recently found a good n64 emulator and decided to relive this classic.

Super Mario 64: See above.

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber: See above, again. Unlike the previous two, I never owned this one, so it's a new experience for me. Seems great so far.

Since my last post I'm still playing Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits but I also picked up Alundra and Lego Star Wars recently and have been playing them both. Lego Star Wars is a kids game so don't expect a lot of death but it's as adorable as hell.

Just finished Half-Life 2. So, I want to hit up Half-Life: Source and jog my memory on few things.
Also: Zelda Classic custom quests, plus making my own.
Occasionally, I whip out Pocket Tanks or GTA:SA for some variety.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Damned Obelisk...I will burn it to the ground dry.gif

Xenogears - Never did get around to beating this game before now, but I still have a loooong way to go.

Tenchi Muyo! RPG - This game is awesome. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics but with Tenchi Muyo characters and plot. So cool happy.gif


Currently REplaying:

Tales of Symphonia - Just had an urge to spend hours and hours on end beating this again.

Devil May Cry 3 - So unbelievably difficult, I just had to beat it again on hard mode (it helps that your stats carry over from other difficulties. Can you say "Max life and devil trigger on the first level"?)
