Just faffing about in Saint's Row the 3rd.

SRt3 is ridiculously fun to mess around in. Even moreso in Co op

Too bad story wise its so [tornado fang]ing short, kinda just ending as it gets good.

[Da Dood]

I love both ZX games. ZX just pisses me off with the map and mission activation crap. When you can actually find the stages, it's really good...

Finished Mega Man a (pretty cool!) and then Survival Road (sooo intense... but fun). Not touching Boss Battles, but it's a cool trophy for Survival Road.

According to the 3DS, I spent 38 hours playing ZXA in the last few days... time to move on to something else.

[Amatiramisu]

I finished FFCC: The Crystal Bearers. The game was pretty lackluster until about five hours in where I found myself really getting into it. But damn. For a Final Fantasy game it's short as hell. I've clocked in just around ten hours. (Yeah I don't play my Wii much nowadays). I also didn't do many sidequests so I guess that's like another five hours gametime but still pretty short.

I'm only just now starting Apollo Justice.

Yeah, that does really suck. It broke away from the previous 2 games in that they were 3 parallel storylines that were happening at once, while 'the Third' was just one single story with a couple branches. Plus, the 3 enemy gangs didn't even have different symbols! Well... There's always SR4.

Can't remember if I said this here, but the ZX fever made me track down a sealed copy of Mega Man Zero Collection for the DS. I own the GBA carts, but games look so much better on the 3DS than on the GBA/DS, and it's nice to have all of them in one pack.

It's really just an excuse to play the Zero games from scratch again. I'll try to unlock everything like I did with ZX, except maybe the insane requirements like 100P average.

Should be here tomorrow. Can't wait!

[tornado fang] YES

A friend gifted me Bastion! Totally [tornado fang]ing playing that.

I picked up ZERO Collection about a year back myself, and yes. They do look a little crisper on the DS, and the sound's a little clearer, but I can't say it's above playing it on a GBA SP or anything. But the little unlockables are fun, plus they have the mod cards for ZERO 3.

[Da Dood]

Oh, I just mean the actual display of the handheld. The 3DS screen looks so much brighter and more colorful.

[Sapphire Knight]

Fossil Fighters. I remember seeing the commercials and going "WTF is this garbage!?" Now, several years later, I play it and go "Hey, this is pretty good."

[VixyNyan]

Playing Crash of the Titans, starting my very first (and only) playthrough on Hard difficulty.
Um yea, later stages are gruesome 1up-wasters, but the game is still fun. ^^;

Later I'll finish up as much of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Ghostbusters: The Video Game as I can.

By that time I'll probably be able to even out my gamerscore to exactly 111,111.
If not, then I'll do randoms, and also throw in The Walking Dead somewhere.

[Police Girl]

Beat NSMB U.

100% save for the challenges. 5 shiny stars (no sparkles this time, they just shine.)

[Sakura Leic]

Literally wasting time in Chrono Trigger doing the Lost Sanctum Quest.

One does not simply "throw in The Walking Dead". That game had me in tears.

I just found a used copy of Mega Man Legends 2 for about $120. This is so unfair, haha...

Posted on: January 05, 2013, 10:29:48 AMSpeaking of a happy day, I just got both Mega Man Zero Collection AND my cable extension for the GC controller, both working just fine.

[Joseph Collins]

One-hundred-what?!  O_O  My game is worth that much?!  [tornado fang]!  I should sell!!  I never play the darn thing!

[irgpie]

the store I'm doing work placement at had two copies of MML2 go through within one month. They were sold at $59.99. Well one was at least. The second was traded for a fully boxed copy of Lunar. Still, that sounds like inflated prices because of demand or something. It takes just one overpriced auction to offset all the others.

Like, I imagine my copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy could go anywhere from $100 - $200 depending how much some dumb people are willing to bid.
EDIT: Okay yeah uh,


some people are just so full of [parasitic bomb]. don't ever do "Buy It Now"

[Da Dood]

Yeah. There's no way I'd buy the game (used, even worse) at that price. I just think it's sad because it doesn't look like I have a lot of alternatives to finally play Legends 2.

[Rin]

Emulation.
Seriously, PSX emulation is so easy to do, it just hurts.
Buy a gamepad, or if you have one, plug it in, set up the controls. VIOLA! YER PLAYING LEGENDS 2.

Seriously, I emulated PSX games with ease on my old PC.,. and it was a crappy pc. VERY.

Makes me glad I got Metroid Prime: Trillogy cheap at GameStop... *sigh* [tornado fang]ing Friend Vouchers...

So far I'm really enjoying La-Mulana (2012) on WiiWare, I might consider getting it on PC when or if it gets greenlit for Steam. I hoping to get it from Playism and get the Steam key for it since NIGORO are considering giving Steam key to anyone that buys it on Playism, although they're not making any concrete promises on that. If that doesn't happen, I may as well get it from Good Old Games since it's DRM-free.

I'm messing around with an HD mod for BloodRayne 2 on PC, and it looks pretty good on 720p/1080p. It's also nice that the modder fixed this issue with the game running above certain resolutions by default it can't run in, despite my brother's PC being fully capable of running some games in 1920×1080 no problem.

And I'm also knee-deep into the visual novel of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND (so far I've 100%'d Ragna's and Noel's story), though I gotta get back to Phoenix Wright sometime, I'm having more fun with the latter than I thought I would.

Also, playing Legasista... like right now. Can't wait till they [tornado fang]ing give me the character editor/creator.

[Da Dood]

Tron, yeah, emulation is a way... it's just not the same though, at least IMO.

I'm playing the Zero Collection. I still think Z1 is the weakest of the Zero series, though a pretty sweet game. Probably guilty for being the first game and not super refined. The music is kinda lame for the most part, too (Z2-Z4 definitely kick ass in that department).

The weapon leveling up can be good and bad... it's good because if you have patience, you can max out your main weapons before even the first "real" mission, and it's bad because well, you have to grind. I prefer collecting power-ups for those skills, glad Z3 got rid of the level up.

And it's a lot worse farming E-Crystals... those Cyber-Elves sure like to eat. I'm aiming to get Jackson, which will make this run more challenging, although to be honest, after ZXA on Expert, Z1 feels much easier than before.

The best part about the MMZC is using Y and B instead of B and A by customizing the controls. Muuuch better.
