I'm not.

But I have wandered for some hours in total, when I just didn't know what to do or where to go.

Finally got around to playing Injustice: Gods Among Us. I really like it. I don't play a lot of fighting games but I like this one. I really enjoyed the Story mode.

Disc 2 is very heavy on the story, because the studio ran out of money. I hope you're a visual novel person, because it literally is 30 minutes dialog, boss fight, 30 minutes dialog, boss fight....that goes on for hours. I'm not even kidding.

Puppeteer is a really good game and everyone should play it.

Also, I got Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD, but I haven't tried it yet.

I'm not against that, IF I can save between the dialogs and fights and am not forced to see it all again if I lose the fight. The text moves sooooo slowly!!

愛 · 09-11-2013, 03:32 PM

It's been a while since I've played the game, but I do recall that it asks you to save after long cutscenes. You should be good.

Let me know how you feel about it when you do? I'm pretty interested in that. I never played most of the series and only played the original once. I was really into it, though, so I'm curious about picking this up.

*Zulithe* · 09-12-2013, 06:34 AM

I've already planned on getting Puppeteer but my plate is petty full so I'll wait for a good deal on it. not that it isn't already a good deal at its low price, but I'll wait longer.

I also have KH 1.5 and played about an hour of it before I had to get to work. Great memories flooding back. I wish they'd done these for PS4 instead but wouldn't be surprised if they re-released KH 1.5 + 2.5 for PS4 not long before KH3 comes out

Yeah, I'd probably double dip (triple dip, technically)

Really happy that Square-Enix announced that PS3 owners of FFXIV get the PS4 version free, since I purchased the FFXIV PS3 CE on launch day to link to my existing PC 1.0 account. I hope it works with Vita remote play. Would be a great way to grind away at my crafting/gathering skills when away from my comp.

Tons of games coming up for me what with the Wii U deluge of titles, various 3DS rpgs, and the PS4 launch. Even a Vita game or two.

I've decided to go with Watch Dogs on PS4 even if the PC version ends up being significantly better (which it probably will be, at least visually). I'm not that into Killzone.

Gummi Ships are the worst.

*Allio* · 09-12-2013, 02:37 PM

Playing One Piece Pirate Warriors 2

good game, better than thefirst

though, that is the norm for dynasty warriors type games

*CyberCubed* · 09-12-2013, 05:12 PM

The first Kingdom Hearts has not aged well. The worlds are extremely small and boxed in, almost feeling like an N64/PS1 era game with better graphics. The game came out back in 2002 so its no surprising that it felt like an early gen game.

Also the actual battle gameplay is really slow, when KH2 came out they sped up the fighting considerably. He swings the keyblade way too slow in the first game.

Back in 2002 Final Fantasy was extremely popular so to see it mixed with Disney was a shock back then, but nowadays its not a big deal as FF is on the decline and JRPG's have become niche in the US.

Peanut · 09-12-2013, 05:18 PM

It has aged just fine. The camera and the lock-on are a bit of an annoyance, but the game is still very playable. A 10+ year old game is never going to feel like it belongs in the current gen, but in no way has it aged poorly.

Cybercubed and his inability to speak in anything but absolutes is wroooong again. Who could have seen that coming?

*CyberCubed* · 09-12-2013, 05:23 PM

I don't know if the HD collection is any different, but last time I played it around 2 years ago or so it was hard to get back into. You really don't notice how small and confined the worlds are? The N64 platformers like Banjo-Tooie have bigger worlds than the Kingdom Hearts areas. The Alladdin stage is literally like 3 areas.

Peanut · 09-12-2013, 05:31 PM

And? There are games released this generation with smaller worlds. There a games released two gens ago with bigger ones. What's your point? The game was designed that way and that's all there is to it.

As a game, taken on it's own merits, it's still highly playable and it's still fun.

*Icebot* · 09-13-2013, 09:59 AM

I just played Tomb Raider Legend on Gamecube.

Sweet, which level did you play? Did you by any chance play the level with the superbike on the roof?

You mean the one in Pariaso? That's the only bike stage I played.

The only levels I played were Bolivia (level 1), Pariaso and the beginning of West Africa.

tmnt transformer · 09-13-2013, 09:45 PM

I've been playing metroid prime on gamecube.... I'm at the part where you collect the artifacts.... so far I've gotten 8 of 12 without a guide.... and this is my first playthough...

Ok it just that found the rooftop level was interesting. Pariaso is the one you go after your friend to save her from the bad guys, i guess. That bike level is fun. It reminds me a bit of that bike game road rash. Do you like Tomb Raider Legend?

*AT-Man* · 09-14-2013, 03:56 PM

Just played through Amnesia: The Machine For Pigs. Holy crap, what a disappointment! Not nearly as scary as the first or any Penumbra games, and puzzles are just turning valves or switches. The story didn't seem to go anywhere, I didn't feel like I discovered anything slightly interesting. The last hour I just ran through the game and past the few enemies I encountered. Only died once. Can not recommend to any fan of the previous Frictional Games' games.
