Picked up Street Fighter 5 today.

*Icebot* · 03-04-2016, 10:04 AM

Just purchased the Mega Man Legacy Collection at 3DS eShop.

*Spike Spiegel* · 03-04-2016, 10:17 AM

Just finished Life Is Strange on PS4.

Currently playing Resident Evil Revelations 2 and Silent Hill 2 (2nd playthrough).

I guess I am on a horror/adventure kick.

*Powder* · 03-04-2016, 10:18 AM

Ah yeah, it's Zelda day. Hopefully I can swing the e-shop version soon, the original is a favorite of mine.

*Storm Eagle* · 03-04-2016, 10:21 AM

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD w/Wolf Link amiibo and the sound selection CD that I got for pre-ordering at GameStop.

I actually had to ask the guy at the counter about the CD. I thought he'd at least know to offer it to me since I did pre-order.

For the record, the Nintendo NY store in Manhattan is also offering the CD to people who buy the game today, along with a poster. So that would have been another way to get the CD, even if it's a local thing.

I'm playing Until Dawn for the PS4. Well.......the game as well as the storytelling has some obvious flaws. It feels more like an interactive horror movie and less like a game (quick time events up the wazoo!). And yet I'm somehow enjoying it. In a awkward sense.

I do not recommend this game if you cannot stand quick time events because the game has loads of them. You're probably better off watching youtube videos if you're more so curious about this game.

Just picked up Mega Man Legacy Collection for my 3DS. Nostalgia is kicking in for me!

I noticed this game is about $40 now. I'm interested in playing it; would it be worth a blind buy when it drops to $20?

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 03-05-2016, 08:29 AM

Most definitely. That way you won't be as disappointed in it. It's not exactly bad but it gets a tad tiresome traveling around so much to find clues and totems (SPOILER: the latter you will need to determine the fate of a certain character). The story will keep you in suspense and I believe it does a good job giving you a good scare every brief second (numerous jump scares that are played for fun). It also has good replay value due to the numerous choices of dialogue you say to a character as well as the choice of killing off your character as there are no game overs. I'd say wait til' the game is under $30 or $40.

*Wesley* · 03-05-2016, 09:49 AM

Purchased Pokemon Yellow on the 3ds eshop and started playing it. I'm liking it so far. I haven't played the original in years and I never restarted it. I plan to play through it fairly this time (I traded over a few strong Pokemon from Blue to make beating it much easier back then).

I also replayed Yugioh The Sacred Cards. I thought it wasn't as good as I remembered it (it was too easy using a few of the broken cards this time), but it was fun to play through it again. It was more enjoyable than its sequel, Reshef of Destruction. That game was good but frustrating.

*AT-Man* · 03-06-2016, 04:22 AM

I'm about 26 hours in Bravely Second, and I think it's great...

~~Mew~~ · 03-13-2016, 02:42 PM

Been playing a lot of Smash Bros. it seems. My main is Little Macaroni.

*Powder* · 03-13-2016, 03:17 PM

Steamrolling through Pokemon Y & having a great time. Got The Adventures Of Pip recently, so I've been enjoying that as well.

*Icebot* · 03-15-2016, 01:36 PM

Just purchased Zelda 2 for NES at 3DS eShop and started playing it.

Chaotix12345 · 03-19-2016, 12:52 PM

Just got the Rare Replay VIP Pack that I won from DKVine back in January! Definitely the absolute nicest thing I've ever won, particularly the sick Banjo backpack! The full contents:

Banjo-Kazooie Backpack
Battletoads Cap
Battletoads Sunglasses
Conker T-Shirt (That will never fit me. XD)
Perfect Dark Wallet
Rare Replay Stickers
Fudgehog Pinata
A Copy of Rare Replay (Gifted it to my sister's boyfriend for his Birthday since I already owned the game.)

That Banjo backpack is becoming my definitive method of luggage transportation from now on.

*Icebot* · 03-22-2016, 03:54 PM

I just began playing The Legend of Zelda for NES (the remake of the NES game for Game Boy Advance). I decided to play it without the sword (I heard it's very challenging this way and I want to see how well I do without the sword). So far I already beat level 2 without the sword.

Picked up recently an old TurboGrafx 16 and got a few games for it, esp. Bonk's Revenge and Keith Courage!

Ahhh sh***t I want a TG16. Congrats on the nab.

Haven't seen ya in a while; good that you didn't go ghost on us.

Lisardo · 03-26-2016, 01:41 PM

Boyfriend actually found it, at a retro gaming store - sweet deal on it too! Got him hooked on TG16,

If ever you come across one, get it!

Yeah I get quiet sometimes. Depends on what fandom I'm into. But currently back into TMNT, so here I am!

*Icebot* · 03-29-2016, 03:39 PM

I've been playing the Legend of Zelda on NES but I decided to put it off on the swordless challenge (I beat levels 1 through 3 without the sword but I'm stuck on level 5 in that one room).

I've been playing the game with the sword.

AT-Man I SEEN IT Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: FIN Posts: 2,206	I'm about 26 hours in Bravely Second, and I think it's great... Spoiler: ...but seems so far that all the new asterisk holders are mandatory fights, whereas I hoped at least some of them to be side quests like in the original. Then there are the actual side quests, which I think is a neat idea, that you have to choose which asterisk holder you wanna fight. But some of the decisions I have to make to get the wanted asterisks, are going against what I would normally do in that situation. I'm glad to see there will be replay value in it, though. __________________ Through the Golden Door
