They really like periods and exclamation points, for one.

Like a bad sentence structure way or just having lots of exclamation points?

Current playthrough: Chrono Trigger and God Eater Ressurection

Using 4 or 5 exclamation marks is way too excessive.

Pulled a clutch victory in Double Dragon 2 early this morning. I lost one life at stage 4 (still not sure how to deal with Arnold and the rest of the level without a lot of luck), one at 5 (stupidly) and one at 6 (stupidly). But then I did 7, 8 and 9 with my last life. Final boss was a festival of pause strats and sweaty hands, but I clutched it out.

This game is great, but it really could have used some kind of extra lives/continue system because it literally does not allow you to make mistakes. You can start the game in 2P mode and steal the second player's lives, but I dunno, I always start a new game thinking I'm gonna do okay...

I was trying Jet Set Radio earlier but it feels kind of lacking in the controls and also crashed 15 minutes in, so I'm pretty discouraged.

I couldn't get into Jet Set Radio, either. It might have be the controls for me, too.

It doesn't seem to be a game that aged well.

Jumping between Pokemon X, Pokemon Rumble World, and Mario Tennis.  Would you believe I JUST TODAY got my "finished" team to Level 100?

Suikoden 2 down. It's a good time. Haven't decided on the next game.

Danganronpa. And taking my time in completing side missions in Batman Arkham Knight.

Oh, and Rocket League is free for PS+ members. GET. THIS. GAME. I'm so serious, this [parasitic bomb] is addicting. I think I'm only going to play for an hour, and end up spending nearly half the day playing online matches. I really didn't expect to be hooked on something like this.

Just picked up Freedom Wars and Phantom Breaker on my Vita. Unfortunately I understand that PB's online is deader than disco, so if anyone here has that, hit me up sometime, will you?

Batman Arkham Knight and its constant, repetitive drone missions is pissing me off. They're seriously getting annoying.

And I heard somewhere that you can only obtain the True Ending by completing the game 100%. Who the hell thought that was a smart idea?

Suikoden 3? It's a little different but pretty good. It's also cheap on the PSN.


Also still playing FF14.  8D

Going back to Rogue Legacy. Playing the new game+ to see if there's still more bonuses to collect.

So I finally got back to Bravely Default and have currently been killed by Derosso 3 times, but I think I have an idea of how to not get killed, hopefully.

I picked up R-Type Dimensions in this past week's summer sale (and Mega Man 8, because if I'm going to buy stuff I almost want to inspire Capcom, it might as well be something that actually has Mega Man's name on it).

7 deaths in my first stage, thank God for Infinite Mode.

And... I just cleared the NG +; with only one death in between. 2nd NG + plus is now bringing out the big guns, yet my Spellsword is still kicking major ass, with a chakram in hand.

I'm trying to get as close as I can to 100% in Ground Zeroes before TPP comes out.

Not like I will get 100%. No, I'm not good enough for that and I will never git gud enough.

Currently just resource-grinding in Freedom Wars. Turns out the parts I need are really awkward to collect. Just gotta hope I get lucky, I guess.

I would, if I could play it on the go! Sadly, that isn't the case yet. Sooo I went with Xenogears. Should keep my commute time filled for a while.

Oniken and Odallus:The Dark Call

both by the same guys, and both the most authentic retro indie ive ever seen

Finished a quick game of Streets of Rage 2 as Skate. First time I beat this as Skate (he was the only character I hadn't beaten the game with yet).

He's such a mixed bag. I like the dash and especially the dash jump attack that has incredible range and hits everything in its path. His throw is good too and he can get behind any enemy super fast. However, his normal attacks are just too weak, his jump sucks, and he has no health.

When I didn't have room to start a dash, enemies would easily gang up on me. And there were several parts where I couldn't figure out a reliable strategy at all. Lost five lives to the freaking boxer boss in stage 5... literally no idea how to deal with that guy as Skate. I thought I'd have to start over because I used my first continue as early as in stage 6, but luckily I got to the final boss with 5 lives on my last continue. Mr. X is a punching bag at least.
