The "What are you currently playing?" Thread

[Emiri Landeel]

PSP games are region-free so you can play any region UMD unless it's UMD movie.
To go online I heard that you need JP PSN account. I don't know much if it's real or not cos my PSN account is JP.

Bad news is, multiple endings are still presence (Normal, Good, True)
But there're list of the answers that will lead you to the true ending already, so it's not really a problem unless you want to understand what's going on.

One thing I fear for an english release is that many collaboration items might not make an appearance.
Like what they did to Phantasy Star Zero....
Fanta, Pizza Hut, Hatsune Miku, Evangelion, Fate.... to name a few, might not see the light of the day in an english release of the game.

Thanks for the information, I'm not big on the special items and weapons, and I know how to make a japanese PSN account,  (hotel adress, all this is on games radar, good ol' games radar ). Though this also depends on my ability to read japanese, don't care much for the story though, Zero's would have been better if I couldn't understand it. Guess it all comes down to english or spanish release and the cost of a japanese one, thanks for the info Emiri.

[Emiri Landeel]

No prob!
BTW, why don't you grab a Japanese Demo? Click on the big orange button

[Black Mage J]

Thanks! You also made me remember I have one of those USB to playstation things now, so now I can finally download it!
Though I have no clue which class I picked, though if you ever wanna get online, I'll be setting up my Japanese accoount, depends on how the thing works.

[Emiri Landeel]

Ahh, sorry. But the online for Demo version was ended already.
The only way you can play the game online is the retail version(UMD) or buy it from JP PSstore.

There are 4 classes for you to pick when you create a character. (which 3 of 'em are your generic PSO classes)
ハンター Hunter (Melee)
レンジャー Ranger (Range)
フォース Force (Magic/Tech)
ブレバー Braver (Hybrid class)

You can't change the class in the Demo tho, so pick the one you like and try to level the class level.
Class level plays an important role this time since you'll gain the abilities when your class level up.

To equip abilities, go to the Item shop (Blue doorway) and go to the upper left counter.
Talk to the shop keeper to bring the menu and select the third option.
At first time, most of the ability will cost you one slot. But when your class level goes higher, abilities will require more than one slot. (So as your ability slot too)

You can also upgrade or down grade your ability to carry weapons of choice for the class you're playing.
At the same upper left counter, talk to the shopkeeper and select the second option.
It'll bring the new screen showing different type of weapons.
You can upgrade or downgrade it.

For example, you want to use rank B rifle for your Ranger. Select the rifle and it'll bring down two more choice. Upper one is Upgrade, the bottom one is downgrade.
Tho, you can't upgrade if you don't have the points. To earn the points, you have to level your class level or downgrade the type of weapons you don't use to gain some points.

If you have anything to ask about the demo, you can PM me anytime. ^^

Cham~~~

[Sniper X]

I forgot to tell that I was playing Prince of Persia: The Fallen King, and I finished it. Now, I'm playing Megaman ZX again.

[Gaia]

Feels like I haven't posted in a month. I'm replaying Digimon World Dawn to get Magnamon. I already met two conditions, I need to meet the Lv40 condition for Veemon..

[Emiri Landeel]

Finally got Valis Complete for PC! (Not legally way tho )
Will play this in any minutes now.

While it's just a port from 4 PCE-CD titles to PC.
It's still better than to keep tracking down all of them in it's original form.

Posted on: January 14, 2010, 01:28:24 PMDissapointed by the Valis Complete. Why?

Screen tearing due to no V-sync (Force driver won't work, i tried).
Choppier framerate compared to original PCE-CD version.
No option to map movement key. (If you're using Xbox360 controller on PC, you're screwed. You movement buttons will be at analog, not d-pad. And you can't map it cos there's no option to)

So, I'll go back to play the original version on emulator.
Will play Valis 3 PCE-CD right now.

VVVVVV

^The hardest game I've ever played. The Veni Vedi Vici challange made me die 427 times at total.

[Rin]

I'm currently playing:
1.Ys - Oath in Felghana (for PC)
2.Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (LOL PC)

Both just started. I'm doing first playthrough of Puyo on easy, and then I'm going for normal difficulty... and then higher. I seriously suck at this game, but I can't help but love it.

As for Ys... WHERE THE [tornado fang] HAS THIS BEEN?! WHY HAVE I NOT FOUND THIS BEFORE?! FFFFFFFFFFF...

Ys is like one of the best series you can experience. Excellent soundtracks too.

I'm late to the party, but I finally picked up Resident Evil 4.

I'm also replaying Vampire: The Masquerade Chronicles.

On my PSP, I play pretty much nothing but Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on it. I finally beat the darned Nargacuga. Took me ages to do it.

Whatever you do, in Dissidia, get your character to at least level 54 before shade impulse, if you haven't already beaten the game of course.

[Solar]

Currently in Shade Impulse 1-4 or 5 and a lv 20 something Zidane and Onion Knight are getting me along just fine, specially Zidane vs the lv30 something enemies (thank god for his air HP attack)
