I'm collecting all the runes in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - I beat Bopopolis last night. Holy crap!

[Davetello]

Finally had a few games of FIFA earlier today.

I'm considering starting Broken Sword on the 3DS (DS game on a backwards compatible system). I remember playing it and loving it years ago.

I'm such a fan of that series! I played it on the GBA & Wii (same game), but unfortunately had one of those unfortunate copies of the GBA version that had a glitch in which if you visited one certain location before visiting this other, you got stuck at that point and couldn't advance due to latter location disappearing from the map. The only reason I didn't finish the game on the GBA was due to that very frustrating issue. I still have it complete in box, lol. I look at it and say, "One day"... Maybe I'll just pick it up on DS and, boom issue solved! Fun title.

**Edit- I'm referring to Broken Sword.

[Wingnut]

Evil Within at the moment.

Probably not a valid complaint considering how much I've completed, but I still have no idea what the hell is going on with regards to the storyline. I'm enjoying the experience otherwise.

My bro got me Bravely Default! And we're trading Professor Layton games off since I have Miracle Mask and he has the one that comes before it in the timeline. [It annoyed me that I got Miracle Mask first anyway.] I can't wait to just drown myself in games.

Well I didn't think you were a FIFA player

Yeah, we played Broken Sword on the Playstation back in the nineties and we loved it. Will be great to reminisce.

Would love to get that along with Alien Isolation.

LMAO, hey, I rocked out FIFA 95 on my Sega Genesis, but since then, no, it's not really my scene. But I have to admit, I've played a little of FIFA 13 and they are really doing some remarkable stuff with that title! Very nicely done game.

My hubby & I were very cautiously optimistic about that title since the Colonial Marines clusterf**k but we've decided based on some friends' opinions on the title that we'll eventually pick that one up. The Evil Within sounds like a very good survival horror, but that's more my husband's cup of tea, not mine. I tend to overreact to anything remotely scary or startling and then jerk the analog sticks on the controller, thus shooting the floor/ceiling and ensuring my eminent death, lol. I was never able to finish any Resident Evil game solo because of it- my hubby has played 5 & 6 with me co-op and I like them, I'm just too jumpy. I think I might try my hand at the Alien Isolation title though. Maybe I'll be able to steel my resolve... Watch out floors & ceilings- you're going down!!

Happy to see you enjoyed some of FIFA in the recent past I didn't think you liked football. It is a good game, although back in the day PES was king. I must bore people senseless speaking about "soccer" on here.

Hahaha. Sounds like you get scared at them easily. Well, talking about Resi, the first two and 4 were the best, imo. And yeah, Evil Within looks like an intriguing game.

As you might know, I'm really struggling to concentrate enough to complete games. I have a massive backlog of games. However, I think I will buy AI and try and get through that, and if I manage it I can move onto The Evil Within.

I actually really liked playing soccer in grade school (I was never any good, mind you, but I enjoyed playing the sport). I really enjoyed playing it in gym class in middle school & high school. I wasn't good enough to play on the team, but that & tennis are my favorite sports to play.

I don't really follow any sport much present day, but I have to say I love the fandom of soccer. I love how loyal & passionate the fans get for their teams, less so here in the States though. I love how the whole world goes crazy during World Cup season- from richer areas to poor villages where everyone in town crowds around the 1 or 2 TVs that are available, everyone wants to support their team. I think more so than many other sports, soccer unifies countries, if not for a short time. We tend to get so worked up over various issues day to day, it's nice for everyone to be like minded every once in a while.

Yeah, but all the good ones are single player and that series loves to make you jump..... so bullet ridden floors & ceilings, does not a Resident Evil game finish! Lol.

I have that issue sometimes, the apathy of depression when I kind of get in a funk unfortunately affects playing games as well. I also have missed a lot of games over the years too due to my mom hating video games while I was a kid. So I've been slowly trying to grab up retro games plus the older releases I somehow missed & picking up new release titles I want, not enough time to play them all so I prioritize... It is what it is, I just try to enjoy what time I have.

The Legend of Korra game is great. That is all.

Yeah, speaking of Platinum, Bayonetta 2 is also awesome. So much insanity.

[AT-Man]

In Bravely Default I finally got past

Spoiler:

Chaugmar

and the game seemed to get much easier afterwards. I'm sure, though, there will be bosses that thwart my progress still, at least when I get to the

Spoiler:

next crystal boss. Those are the bane of my existence. And so was Qada.

I've been playing Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and while I understand why the game is structured the way it is, I wish it played out more like one giant seamless experience like the original. I'm also really missing those portrait ghosts. The game is still great and does have many of it's own great qualities but I just can't help but feel like it would have been better off a console game. Though, thanks to this game and plenty of others, the 3DS is definitely my favorite Nintendo system since the Gamecube.

[Peanut]

Desperately trying to spend time with Bayonetta 2, but I can't stop playing Fantasy Life. I played like two chapters of Bayonetta, which is fantastic btw, but in the middle I opened my 3DS and like an hour later I was all "Oh, yeah. I'm playing this other game. Whoops!"

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

Just got Sunset Overdrive today which is crazy awesome!!!!! Perfect timing since PS4 Destiny servers are having issues yet again... Anyone else enjoying the superfluous amounts of explosions & gratuitous violence? Such stupid, stupid fun! Love it!

I have it. It's pretty fun. I like just grinding and bouncing around.

[Freeman]

Trying to get the highest score possible on every Mii Force (3DS Mii Plaza spaceship game)
Currently 4 stages missing, but getting closer
I'd love to see and expansion set for mii plaza games

[Icebot]

Just played World Heroes 2 on Super Nintendo.

[Peanut]

I've been interrupted playing Sunset Overdrive multiple f*cking times, but last night I finally played enough to "get" it. All the mechanics sorta sunk into place and it all clicked for me and became an absolute blast to play. Then, I fell asleep in one of the store menus because it was way too late for me to be up. I really miss playing games lately.

[Ninjinister]

Nightmare in Dream Land is one of my favorites in the Kirby series and I hadn't played it since my brother lost his cartridge some-odd years ago. I definitely had to get it now that it's finally on VC in the US.
