Popped in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time in hopes to beat it. I'm on Styx right now and holy cow the enemies got harder.

Yeah... hehe once you get off of Styx the enemies get pretty strong. It can be look at two ways a punishment or a blessing.
I call blessing on it for one reason you can grind up in some places by fighting the new enemies "Convictor" and try to get a bonus battle going where you get 300% more EXP.
Makes leveling a lot more easy.

Is it just me or is Star Ocean 3's battle system a lot better than Star Ocean 4's? I felt that SO4's battle system were just mashing the triggers. In Star Ocean 3, you had to choose between a strong or a weak attack depending on the enemy's fury rate. This required more strategy. You can say tri-Ace made a big mistake in SO4 when they try to imitate Tales.

It isn't just you I felt that SO3 battle system was way better then the 4th one, just for the fact of having to think out ways to defeat you enemies.

Is Cliff really that overpowered in the game because in SO4, Arumat was that much of a pimp that he raped everyone. lol

[ShadowTiger]

Definitely just got back into Borderlands 2, now that I bought the Season Pass. Doing a Gaige (Mechromancer) run. All my Badass stats are up to 168 or so, so I'm having a pretty easy time of it so far.

Pretty much, he is the Arumat of SO3. especially when he learns Fist of Fury. once he learns that he is pretty much a killing machine.

And also Maria is another overpowered character once you find the item in level 3 of the Maze of Tribulations.
I can't really remember what item was called but it teach's her Energy Burst, Its one of the best skills in the whole game.
Its also what I used on the Ethereal Queen. Energy burst paired with Cliff's Fist of fury put her down pretty quick. :P

Still working on Final fantasy XII International, Hunting Rare Game and completing normal Marks.

I plan to finish Far Cry 3 today. I'm very close to the end. It may sound odd, but I find this game more scary than Slender because I get ambushed by animals a lot especially Komodo Dragons and Crocs. Once finished, I'm either going to play Sleeping Dogs or Dishonored on 360.

For PS3, I plan to try to finish up Ni No Kuni and play some Metal Gear Rising Revengence (this game is awesome BTW).

Just finished Final fantasy XII International, Completed every Hunt and Rare game and obtained all the espers and beaten the Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat.

And all under 200 hours, final play time is 189 hours.
Anyways I've been thinking about Starting my old Final fantasy III/6 haven't played it in a long time.

In other news I've got a hold of GTA 4 PC version and a copy of Dead Island GOTY edition.
Dead Island is pretty fun, nothing like beating zombies with random crap. xD

Finished Far Cry 3. I have to say that this game has ONE OF THE WORST ENDINGS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, if FFXIII-2 had a WTF ending, this game is worse...much much worse.

I received a $10 discount from Sony, so I downloaded Okami HD for PS3, and I'm glad I did. So far, this game already blows the Wii version out of the water. This is the definitive version of Okami from what I have played. Might actually go for the Platinum trophy in this game.

This week, I'm looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner Soul Hackers and Pandora's Tower. JRPGs being a dead genre? Think again! lol

So, doesn't Far Cry 3 have multiple endings? I've heard that one is good and the other is... not so good.

[SpacemanDan]

I think I'm close to beating Etrian Odyssey IV. I just did all the stuff I needed to do before I can enter the final dungeon, but I want to do a few quests before I actually go in. Party is averaging in the mid 60 area. (I'm running a Landsknecht/Runemaster - Fortress/Dancer - Sniper/Arcanist - Medic/Dancer - Runemaster/Medic, though I'm considering rebuilding my runemaster later) Once I'm done with this, I'm thinking of picking up the other Etrian Odyssey games to see the roots of the series. Though I'll probably play Fire Emblem Awakenning once I'm done with EO IV. (Including post-game, so it may be awhile before I get to Fire Emblem. ._.)

As for my run of Ace Combat Zero - Ace is down. I'm going back to get an S rank on all missions on Ace mode, which hasn't been too bad so far. There are a few really problematic missions of course, but I've been doing decent so far. Su-37 is my plane of choice, usually with the Yellow 13 paint scheme. F22 being the runner up, though sometimes I'll play the F-15C for the sake of playing it 'canonically'. (As it is the preferred plane of Cipher) Still have a handful of enemy aces to shoot down though. ._.

So, doesn't Far Cry 3 have multiple endings? I've heard that one is good and the other is... not so good.

They BOTH suck. One ending was so rushed that it didn't feel rewarding. The other ending was well...you know. Citra was one of the biggest sluts I've seen in a video game since I played Catherine.

Once you get Donnel, you will be treated to one of the most powerful units in the game...and BTW, make sure Wolt dies in the DLC missions!

[SpacemanDan]

Wolt (and I hope other FE characters from that one!) makes a comeback in the DLC? Nifty. :3

Finished Etrian Odyssey IV today with my party being in the high 60s, some even at 70. Time for the post game. And from the looks of it, there's a fair bit of it. O: Tried a few of the bosses and got my ass handed to me. >_> But I imagine I need to fine-tune my party a bit more and get a bit more of a solid strategy going. We'll see though.

I don't know if flash games count, but I just now found out that Epic Battle Fantasy 4 came out. It's pretty fun, for a flash game. I kind of wish that there was a way to just download these games so I don't have to rely on an internet connection, though. Then again, if I'm going to complain, I might as well bring up the lack of an "Adventure Story 2". That one was awesome! Anybody else play this series?

[judasrising]

I am playing the latest Tombraider and i like it

[Dawnlight]

Got a little further into Okami HD. I come to the conclusion that...

Analog Controls > Wii Controls.

In combat, I find that attacking by button is a lot better than swinging the Wii remote IMO. One frustration with the Wii controls is how unresponsive it is when performing attacks. I'm just slaughtering enemies left and right with the Dualshock controls. When it comes to the Celestial Brush, it's a lot easier to Power Slash with the Analog stick because you can draw a straight line more accurately. But drawing circles or anything curved is still better on the Wii.
