[neojedi]

I'm between games-ish.

PS4
Tekken 7 - looks great as always, but I simply don't feel like taking on this game's learning curve right now
Valkyria Revolution - PSA, avoid this game like the plague, OMG does it suck
Psycho Pass Mandatory Happiness - not bad for fans, but needs more visual cues like Danganronpa which I'd really recommend

3DS
Final Fantasy 4 DS - picked up on a lightning deal for $10 last year and gotten more out of it than the 3 PS4 games above

 

[Ip Man]

just finished castlevania portrait of ruin. definitely my favourite out of the ds games. the map, power ups and gameplay is great. and the fact that you could unlock richter and maria as playable characters is awesome.

near the end of order of ecclesia. great story, art and visuals but a little bland compared to the other games.

 

[MCF 76]

Coinops arcade

The Deep (Simple fun game but very awesome and addicting. Just realized last night you can speed up the depth charges by pushing up or down on stick.)

Big Karnak

Haunted Castle

 

[Syn]

I've been spending so much time tweaking my cabs and testing a OSSC (which I'm thinking of selling...xrgb 3 forever !) that I've had little time to actually play anything, lol.

[ggallegos1]

GBA

Fire Emblem - hard as balls to not lose anyone
Metroid Fusion

Hit me up if you want to do so. I tried ordering one and my zip code wasn't being recognized no matter what I did.

Nice, congratulations! I'm about to resume on this game.

thanks. it's worth playing just to unlock richter mode alone which gives the game one of the best replay values ever. the whole game was a pleasant play through. definitely my favourite out of the ds games.

 

[munchiaz]

PS4:
Bloodborne - Haven't played through the game since around the time the DLC came out. Just finished with Rom, and have died a total of 31 times. But so far i have beaten all bosses (expect for Rom) either first try, or just dying once. I was pumped that i beat shadows of Yharnam first try and without them summoning the snakes.

 

[@M]

NES
- Duck Tales

Nintendo DS
- Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day
- Insecticide
Action/point-and-click adventure hybrid set in a world of sentient bugs.
- Jambo! Safari Animal Rescue
Adaptation of Sega arcade game with more meat on its bones via an open world and missions. There's also some light pet sim elements as you can care for the critters you catch.
- James Bond 007: Blood Stone
3rd person shooter. The control takes a little getting used to as you aim on the touch screen and use the shoulder buttons and d-pad to fire and take/leave cover.
- Rollin' Rascals
Match-2 puzzle game where you roll the critters with the stylus.
- Shining Stars: Super Starcade
Cutesy mini game collection, set in a carnival, based on a line of stuffed animals that let you name a star (seriously) as part of your toy purchase.
- Shorts
Sidescrolling/platformer with light puzzle elements (finding keys, flipping switches, drawing platforms with the stylus), based on some movie I've never seen. Fighting the first boss is almost exactly the same as the first boss of Quake I (Chthon), except in 2D, but he's made out of snot instead of lava (you have to hit two buttons to lower electrodes, and a third to zap him)--somebody on the development team must have really loved Quake!
- Time Ace
3D update to Time Pilot. Kind of like Star Fox, gameplay-wise, but (ignoring the time travel) more grounded in reality.

I enjoyed portrait of ruin but I remember hating a level involving clowns. Other than that it was a solid title.

 

[Decepticreep]

PS4- just bough Mass Effect Andromeda for $11.00. Probably going to start playing it tonight

DS- New Super Mario

 

[Ip Man]

i personally didn't like the layout of that level where the whole thing is a circle. but i always do enjoy facing off with the legion, which is the boss of that level.

 

[Dr Shroom]

Star Trek Online, that buggy piece of shit.

 

[Late]

PS3 - Dark Souls 2, around 15 hours in. This is a lot easier than the first one, or Demon's souls for that matter.

I found and purchased a copy of Portrait of Ruin based on your post. I never played it before.

I still need to get this. When I go to order a new game it always slips my mind.
