I got the Master Sword in Wind Waker HD yesterday, so if my recent (attempted) playthough of Twilight Princess is any kind of standard bearer, I should put the game down now and never return. I'm still loving the game, in all reality.

 

Also, you are welcome, Dawnlight!

I think the hardest trophies for Persona 4 Golden would probably end up being reading all the books and getting all the Social Links. The other trophies should be a piece of cake.

 

Xillia trophies shouldn't be a problem either. Though finding rare monsters is gonna take forever! D:

 

And DCEnygma, if you're thinking about getting Persona 3, if you want to get the complete story inside and out, I recommend Persona 3 FES. I only recommend Persona 3 Portable if you want to play as the Female Protagonist and want to have direct commends which FES lacks.

 

Got to World 5 in New Super Mario Bros U. Yes, this is the most challenging out of the four NSMB games IMO and MUCH better than NSMB2 . I can't wait to see how challenging Super Luigi U is.

Too many other games right now, unfortunately, but it's on my list. I'd probably go with Portable since I much prefer direct commands.

YES! I really love New Super Mario Bros U. I love going through the levels and trying to find the secret exits and the fact there is a much greater level of challenge in the later worlds. Also, DAT STARRY NIGHT LEVEL.

You're not getting away that easy! You're going to finish the game, and you are going to like it.

 

Er I mean glad you're enjoying it so far.

Got bored and didn't have anything else to do, so I finally got around to continuing my Castlevania series progression and started playing "Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness" for the first time. It took a while to set up, involving a walkthrough and a good long time experimenting with the emulator, but I finally found a pretty nice controller setup that feels somewhat similar to how a Kingdom Hearts game would work, albeit with long-range attacks set to Circle and picking up items set to Triangle.

 

I am really thankful for my PC controller and emulator at this point, having seen a description of the original controls. I have a Nintendo 64 and know exactly how strangely the controllers were made. How on earth did they think that having to quickly switch handles on the controller for such basic things such as camera control and werewolf transformations was a good idea?

 

== NOTE ==

For anybody who doesn't know, the N64 controller had three handles. The control pad and L button were on the leftmost handle, with the control stick and Z button on the middle handle, and everything else on the right-side handle. Most games would use the control stick, so you naturally became accustomed to only using the middle and right handles. Because this game positioned camera control to the control pad and werewolf transformations to the L button, you had to let go of the controller entirely with your left hand periodically to re-position yourself to reach these buttons. You lost movement control entirely whenever you needed to maneuver the camera or activate what was essentially "super mode". (The system's pretty old at this point, I think some of the younger people on this site may have never experienced playing on an actual N64 system. I know that my younger siblings are pretty ignorant with it.)

Finished GTA V, Man that was a amazing game all the way through! I loved every second of the game... Sad to see the story end but all good things have to come to a end.

 

Well I was going to write a small review of sorts... But there is nothing to be said except this game will be game of the year for sure, and if you haven't played this game yet play it now!!! This game shall go down as one of the best games of all time maybe? who knows but right now I feel it is.

 

GTA 5 rating

5/5

Pros: Everything.

Cons: N/A

I have been playing SMB1(Wii download)  alot recently... But the dungeons are insanely hard......

[DCEnygma]

I only played Terraria and Pokemon Y this weekend. That's it. Nothing but those. Which means Wind Waker didn't get finished. I'm a terrible person.

 

(But Terraria 1.2 and Pokemon are really good.)

[Dawnlight]

Playing Pokemon Y for 3DS and Heavy Rain on PS3. Pokemon Y is pretty sweet so far. I love how there's a wider selection of Pokemon for your party as you progress through the game. Heavy Rain I just got back into playing. I wanna play Beyond Two Souls very soon and I still need to finish this game.

[The Satellite]

Started a new file in A Link to the Past for the heck of it a few days ago, just finished it tonight. Pokemon got in the way, or I would've finished it sooner. Man, I never get tired of this game.

 

Also popped Fire Emblem Awakening back in to finally check out what the other ending was like. This game is just so good.

 

As for what else I'm playing... Pokemon Y obviously.

Since the family Wii is connected to the television everybody uses for watching TV shows, I haven't gotten a chance to get much farther in Skyward Sword. (The third boss was rather disappointing compared to the first two.) My sister took her PSP back a few days ago, so I haven't gotten much farther in Dissidia or Guardian's Crusade since then, either. So, I've been pushing through on beating Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness.

 

I've gotten through everything up to the Tower of Execution, and I've got to say, this game is rather odd. I can see how people disliked the game on the original console, but if you emulate it and remap the controls to something that's actually practical, the game is actually very good, and very very fun. I'm still playing as Cornell, and he's horribly overpowered. His claw swipe attack is far too weak and has too poor of a range to use in any sort of combat, so it's reserved for mainly just hitting torches easily. However, his mid-range attack is extremely powerful once you pick up a couple Power-Ups, and has so much range to it that you can kill most enemies, and even a lot of bosses, before they even get close enough to hit you. I've never had to use any of the long-range item weapons, and I've only had to use his wolf form once, to speed up the process on the Tower of Science boss battle. I've even been avoiding using any of the contracts (item shops), but that's only because... (spoilers in case anybody hasn't played this game)

 

Spoiler

...I already know that the shopkeeper will become a boss battle if you spend enough money. (Considering how old this game is, do I really need to spoiler anything? I just figure it's better to be safe than sorry.

 

I've got to say, this is the only game where I would advise you stay far away from it if you own the actual console, but I have to recommend it greatly if you plan on emulating it. In fact, even if you already own the game and have played it before, I'd recommend playing it again on an emulator just so you can see how much the better controls improve the game.

 

I am curious, though. Is this game on the Wii's Virtual Console, and if it is, how do the controls work out through a Classic Controller?

[Ventus]

Well after messing around and I managed to refurbish an old and messed up PSP, With a new faceplate and a new analog stick and a battery cover.

I've picked up FF1, FF2, And FF4 The Complete Collection. I'm trying my hand at FF2 again but still this game is hard to get into...

 

If I can't get into FF2 to well... I'll play FF1 because it was an amazing game. I don't feel like playing FF4 for quite some time, just played it not long ago on SNES... You can only play that game so many times.

I just started playing Beyond: Two Souls on PS3, and I must say that this is a legit game. I'm really liking the story so far. As for the gameplay, think Heavy Rain meets Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. So far, it's becoming a much better experience than Heavy Rain. I'll be uploading my blind playthrough of this game on YouTube!

I finished beyond two souls on a friends playstation recently. I gotta tell you, the gameplay is exactly the same as Heavy Rain and Ghost Trick and the Story is really awesome!! I heard there are more than 20 different endings.

Finally Got a hold of another Sega Dreamcast that works, my old one stopped working and managed to pick up the following games.

 

Sonic Adventure 2

Skies of Arcadia

Grandia II 

Jet Grind Radio

 

This is the first time I've even had a chance to get these games, so I picked this package deal up at a flea market.

You know the only thing bad about the whole thing is that I sold my Memory Units when my system died...

So ordering me a VMU from amazon... I'll get it some time this week I hope?

 

Anyways since I can't really play the dreamcast fully for the moment, I'll be playing enchanted arms on the 360.

Found it for 4.99 and what the hell lets give it a try.
