Does anyone here play Melty Blood?

[Rin]

Completed 999 with all endings some time ago. I urge anyone who owns a DS to BUY IT. Seriously, It has one of the most compelling plot directions out there.

Then I went on to beat Sonic Generations, and I'm not touching that again for a while. It wasn't terrible, in fact it's the best Sonic has been in a while. But the thing is, that's not saying anything. Sonic is hideous now, as we are all aware. It's an average game, with clear design flaws, most missions were dreadfully boring, and had forgettable boss battles. Some levels were fun, but only at the beginning. IMO barely any replay value, and console Sonic still remains to be shitty.

Sonic Colors is better than Generations.
Much, much better.

I hope you're joking.

[Rin]

I hope you're joking.

No, I'm not.
I mean, I love Generations, but Sonic Colors actually feels like it takes some time to complete. I had more fun with it than with Sonic Generations. Which was too [tornado fang]ing short, and the missions (which I thought were fine) barely compensate for its small amount of bosses and stages.
It's a fine [tornado fang]ing game, don't be hating.

[Harruhy]

Where in my post was I hating? I'm just saying that Generations is better than Colors.

You should just be hatin' on Sonic Genesis (GBA) instead. =w=

Well... your post kinda made me think you were hating. You know, the whole "Are you joking" thing.
Nevermind.

Wow... speaking of Sonic I'm playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 again.

[Mirby]

Started up a Pokemon playthrough in memory of my fallen friend.

The rules? Not many. With each subsequent game in the playthrough, my main team will be transferred to the next. The starter for each game will always be named Jordanius after my friend.

Emerald > LeafGreen > Platinum > SoulSilver > Black > White 2

I'm currently at Slateport in Emerald; didn't know you could stumble blindly through the darkened Granite Cave to find Steven and skip the Dewford Gym (temporarily). Useful since I needed to level up my Ralts a bit.

All in all that's 6 games and 54 badges to collect. Along the way the Treecko I started out with will eventually become the Champion of all regions (Kanto twice).

So I'm at 1/54 badges right now. D:

I do.

Terranigma
I remember seeing some random mention of it (on here I believe) a while back, and for some reason felt compelled to give it a try. Finally got around to doing so, and I don't regret it one bit. This is certainly a RPG I can actually enjoy. I should really look into this sort of subgenre more.

Bastion
Got my PS3 controller working properly on my computer, so I've been much more willing to play this. Enjoying it more than I expected. The narrator alone is enough to keep me engaged.

NieR
Went back to finish all the extras. Got every weapon fully upgraded. Never again. But alas, I still have one more time-consuming and manly task to complete: Gardening!

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Started a Hard Mode playthrough of this some months ago and just got back to continuing. Currently about 2/3 through the game. I'm about to enter a level full of acidic rain, mecha Stormtroopers with concussion rifles, and Sith wannabees errywhere. I expect to be dying a lot.

Anything by Quintet/Enix at that era was pretty much perfection!
Also try ActRaiser 1 and 2, SoulBlazer and Illusion of Gaia.

Yea, Rucks' voice pretty much made the whole journey so unforgettable and it all fit together into the game itself too. ^^

It's one of my proudest 100% completions too.

The Legend of Zelda (NES/Virtual Console). At first I was thinking of getting Metroid to relive good times with Zero Mission, but then I thought "You know, at some point in my life I need to play the original Zelda". PurpleTriforce sum this game's difficulty too well but I'm not regreting it.

Can somebody please tell me how Zelda 1 is considered hard?

Zelda 2 fine I can understand, but not 1.

I was wondering this myself... Yeah, there can be some tricky parts but it's not THAT hard.

Pokemon Crystal - after ~50 tries (and catching shiny Noctowl & Quagsire in the meantime) I finally managed to steal a Lucky Egg from Chansey. Never again T^T

Well now that you guys mention it, things aren't as hard now that I stumpled upon and bought the Blue Ring, Magic Shield, and found a Heart Container, which made the first dungeon's boss a joke. I guess people could find the game hard because you have no (obvious) directions on where to and all you start out with is a crummy sword. Though now I'm lost and I rather go blind than look up where I'm suppose go after the first dungeon.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix

Dark Cloud 2, never had the chance to play it when it came out but I loved the first one so I picked it up. All and all I'm near the end of the 2nd level and I'm in love with this game.

Die, monster. You don't belong in this world.

Right now I've been playing alot of Poke'Mon on these platforms and titles.

GBA: Sapphire and LeafGreen
DS: Platnium and White

I'm looking forward to Poke'Mon Conquest and Poke'Mon Black 2 coming out this year.

Beyond Good & Evil HD (XBLA). Bought since it's on sale this week on Xbox Live (plus OutLand too, but I didn't want blow more than $5 for a game). So far, not regretting it unless Dust: An Elysian Tail, (tenative) Bunny Must Die, or even Vanguard Princess gets released at $15 in MS Points.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade. I started over on a clean slate (as wiped my save file) a long while ago, started picking it up again recently and going for a pure Hard mode run.

[Rin]

Currently playing Disgaea 4, which arrived today and which I bought quite cheaply too.
On second chapter, got my stupid nephew listening ass kicked in item world. Had to use one of [tornado fang]ing FIVE gency's exsits to escape because I was only left with Val and Fenrich who amounted to anything... [tornado fang].

All in all, I'm gonna have lodsa fun.

[Mirby]

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix. Just grinding so I can take down the optional bosses. And wrapping up the Moogle synthesis catalog too.
