The What Are You Playing Now Thread
 

Didn't see one up, and I'm curious to see what everyone else is up to.

Ninja Gaiden - Xbox Still haven't beaten it legit yet. Getting killed, no massacred by one of the bosses.
Metal Slug 3 - Xbox Another aggravating game. Determined to finish it.
Samurai Warriors - PS2 Musou attacks are always fun.

FFXI on the PC
Morrowind on the PC
Dragon Warrior on the GBASP
Phantasy Star I on the GBASP

Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne
MGS: The Twin Snakes


Ripsaw: is Samurai Warriors good? I looked at it and I like Dynasty Warriors, but I still haven't utterly finished Dynasty Warriors 3, let alone 4, so I hesistated to get it.

I'm almost finished with my 2nd time through on Knights of the Old Republic (PC). The first time I played lightside this time I'm playing dark side.

I've also been playing Dungeons & Dragons:Heroes (XBOX)and the Dungeon Siege expansion pack(PC).
I also just started playing Super Metroid (SNES).

Ninja Gaiden, for the 2nd time through.
Halo, trying to beat it on every difficulty.

(Xbox) KOTOR - Doing the dark side, already finished the light. I'm about 1/3rd of the way through...

Mario Golf Advance Tour....heh. It's mindless fun that keeps me occupied for hours.

I just picked that up for the GBASP myself. It's addictive, but simple. Great game.

Super Mario RPG
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Harvest Moon

What? I need my SNES fix.

CoH
Advance wars 2
Mega Man 1 - Mega Man Collection.

Driv3r and SOCOM II on PS2
F1 2002 on GC

Samurai Warriors is half good, and half bad. They took the Dynasty Warriors series and moved it to feudal Japan. The change of scenery is nice, but if you are used to the chinese names "Guan Yu", "Xiahou Dun", etc. it may take you a while to figure out who everyone is. Gameplay is similar to the rest of the series. Smash the square button for a while, hit triangle every once in a while, and hit circle if you're in trouble. The game is scaled to the level of the character you are playing, so a 20th lvl Yukimura will have trouble killing soldiers on his first board, even with fifth weapons and items. The game has an rpg element in that you now earn skill points, which can be used to earn a ton of passive skills which do anything from help you find better items, to block any incoming attacks while you are moving. They removed duels, but added a horrible castle type level that proves more annoying than entertaining. Some of the items are also separated by Field and Castle signifiers, so they will only be active on their respective type of board. However, some of the missions, called Siege, combine the two. You have to pick and choose which you want to use. I could go on, but suffice to say, if you like the DW series, you should be amused by this game for quite a while.

ummm... with myself?


but seriously, folks.

i've just started Final Fantasy 5. I'm also slowly puttering my way through the Mark of Kri

UT2K4, BF:V, BF: DC, no time for anything else.

FF5... I am now jealous...

Mark of Kri is a very fun game but way WAY too short. It is retarded how short that game is... I miss the good old days where some games could take 100 hours of play time. Where have those days gone?????

Chronicles of Riddick - Suprised the hell out of me. The game not only looks great, but has some great gameplay to it as well. Definitely recommend this one.

Metal Gear: Twin Snakes - Can't get enough Metal Gear, even if it is a remake of the first two. Hideo is my hero.

EA Sports Fight Night - Love the total punch control. Finally a boxing game that feels like boxing. No more button smashing!

EA Sports MVP Baseball 2004 - I'm a baseball freak, and MVP hits the spot nicely. Great feel of a true baseball game, with only a few minor hiccups. Next year goes online with Xbox. Look out!

Mario Golf - Love Golf. Love Mario. Love Mario Golf.

Battlefield Vietnam - Got a new soundcard and speakers. Had to test them out. Oh and the game's fun as hell too.

I am still playing the good o'l TFC on the PC woohoo

BF Nam and MOHAA

streets of rage 2 and 3

NWN Gold Edition
Some Warcraft 3 here and there
Starting up Final Fantasy Tactics for the umpteenth time.

MLB: Slugfest Loaded, liking it more than MVP.
UT2K4

Not much time for anything else.

no need to be jealous, if you have a ps2, there's no reason not to own the classic final fantasy games. you can grab the final fantasy anthology set, originally for the ps1, for 20 bucks nowadays. run out and pick it up. you get ff5 and 6, both are fine examples of the series.

I'm not playing anything right now. I was playing Legend of Dragoon for the PS1, but I couldn't care less about it. Right now I'm looking for a copy of Lunar 2.

All excellent choices, and most, most worthy of a replay or 12.

Oregon Trail
KotoR, playing through the dark side this time. [X-Box]

Lil, side note: Is it just me, or does the dark side of KotoR , seem equaly as hard to play as Light? It seems when i have to be bad, the Good way is always very tempting. Vice Versa, for when you are playing Light. It seem equaly hard to be Dark as it is Bad. Also seems that more people play through as the light side first witch is also quite interesting, lots of my friends played through light first. Mabey every one like the argueing with HK47, i know i loved it, meatbag.

Yeah, there's pretty much a consensus by all those who've played as light, then dark, that about 70% of the quests in the game are focused on light side Jedi. Of course, most of the Dark Side choices involve either 1) insulting someone, 2)killing someone, and not going on their particular quest.

Far Cry on PC and Splinter Cell Pandora on Xbox

Dude, how do you find the time!?!?

I'm lucky to get my two titles good playing time.

I don't sleep, or at least I don't sleep much... "just a couple of more minutes then I'll hit the hay..." three hours later "just a couple of more minutes then I'll hit the hay...".

Also playing...

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire

Better than Civ 2, and a hell of a lot better than Civ 3.

Read Dead Revolver-Just rented it, should be able to beat in rental period.

KOTOR-Towards the end of this one, the story had a big twist and so I am pretty into it again.

After I beat the aforementioned I think I might play either Chrono Trigger, FF7, or maybe Morrowind.

Currently playing: Real life. Been having 50 hour weeks while working. :(

Just had a taste of Breakdown yesterday, holy shit it's cool! A true FPS game, will pick it up next week for sure!

--jaded

Battlefield 1918 (PC) Great game, just need more maps.

MegaMan anniversary Collection and for some reason I decided just for the hell of it to play Star Ocean 2

At the moment, I am hopelessly addicted to Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, which hurts mainly because the ladder reset has been matching me up with former experts. And I suck.

Aside from WC3, I'm also playing...

GC - REmake
PS2 - Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts
XBox - Ninja Gaiden
PC - KotOR, Hitman: Codename 47, American McGee's Alice

Pandora Tommorow and Metroid Prime

On PC, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004. All I've got time for. Plays great, very relaxing.

Metroid Prime ! Just got the 'cube last week, and enjoying every minute of it. Though because of a series of stupid trivialities I haven't been able to pick up a memory card yet :| So I'll just have to keep playing the Derelict Space Station and bits of Tallon Overworld till this weekend or so :(

Still, MP = coolness. I can see why it got about a 95 percent average in the reviews =)

Yeah, Metroid Prime is fucking epic. A most excellent game. I'm thinking about going and buying it so I can play through it yet again. One of my friends lent it to me so I could play through it, but damn, I'd like to play that again.

Now I'm playing Medal Of Honor Allied Assualt for my PC. Since my Xbox broke and it only cost $20 it was a good deal. :D

Xbox - KOTOR, MVP Baseball 2004

I just un-installed Manhunt (PC) because the violence is just ridiculously over the top.

Finished Far Cry about 3 weeks ago, and it was THE best computer game I ever played bar none.

Added Spider-Man 2 and Age of Mythology, bringing my total to 4. It's feast or famine with me.

(In no particular order)

CS
BF:1942:DC (Not so much since Vietnam has come out)
BF:V
UT2004
The Depression Game (This game sucks btw.)
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Starcraft (rarely)

I want to start playing FFX-2, Suikoden III, and XenoSaga, and I would like to pick up KoToR as well.

I am cheapskate. I will only pay $20 for a game.

So I usually play hand-me-downs and games that were on sale.

That being said. I just finished Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Spearhead.

I am thinking about buy one of the Battlefields as everybody seems to rave about it.

My wife, plays one game and one game only: Dark Age of Camelot. Stupid online games, she's on the damn game 12 hours a day, sometimes more (but that's another thread entirely).

(All on pc)

TFC - As always
CS - Just started again
Far Cry - Just got the game yesterday and omg I'm loving it
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 - Just got it off a mate and playing again

All out fighting games for me right now, although I was playing Diablo II earlier:

Soul Calibur 2 (Gamecube version. Screw Heihachi although Spawn is pretty cool)
Super Smash Bros.
A little Mortal Kombat V, although I like the other two more

pandora tomorrow and civ 3 conquests


everyone talks about this game and has a lot of good things to say. i have to get this one.

Went back to playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 on PC just to finish up a few scenarios. Forgot how fun and addicting it can get ;)

Right now i'm currently playing

xbox-Driv3r
pc-rise of nations
gameboy advance- the original legend of zelda

I'm running through Splinter Cell again on Hard difficulty real quick. No, like literally running through. I'm making record time on almost every level and killing guys left and right.

I'm playing Day of Defeat (if that counts) and Prince of Persia. Eagerly awaiting Star Ocean 3 to come out...

Fully into BREAKDOWN now, don't believe the reviews! They're full of arse! By that I mean the game is actually freakin' good! One of the best storylines I've seen in a game, wish they'd've fleshed it out a bit but still, awesome!

Counter-strike
Warcraft 3 TFT
Day of Defeat
Planetside
Ninja Gaiden

mostly oldish games, im a multiplayer kinda guy )

Just, literally, just started playing Far Cry. I've only played about 15 minutes of it. It's really awesome. I need to change the Vsync settings on it, though, it's got some serious tearing issues.

Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires
I love the DW games.

Starcraft, always, ALWAYS
fable, gran turismo 4, destroy all humans, and god of war(again)

What do you think of Fable? I finished it awhile back and went to play again and make different choices and the people kept telling me that I already had done things that are at the end. I completely uninstalled it and will reinstall when I want to play again but that bugged me. I really enjoyed the game and hope they make some add ons for it, though I doubt it.

Currently playing Black & White 2, Sims 2, assorted online gaming with chat through pogo.com
