What are you playing right now? III -

Dynamithix · #**1231** 12-24-2011, 01:17 PM

I booted up Rayman Origins and goddamn I am loving the hell out of this game! It's fun. Pure platforming fun. I like the art style a lot too. The soundtrack is... different, that's for certain. I don't dislike it, but it's really weird. It's alright though.

I'm now up to the second world, Desert of Dijeridoos (Or something similar to that). It's actually pretty hard, but fun as hell. Even my mum wanted to play a few levels with me. Despite the continuous failing, we both had fun. It's just fun!

Phylum · #**1232** 12-24-2011, 01:36 PM

The soundtrack is brilliantly put together, but some tracks took a few listens to really appreciate. The Shooter level theme with the kazoo is off-putting at first, but absolutely perfect for the context. Food World has some of my favourite tracks, but I absolutely love the Glouglous of the Ocean world.

Dynamithix · #**1233** 12-24-2011, 01:41 PM

Yeah, the soundtrack isn't bad by no means, it's just a bit bizarre. Also, there are quite a lot of character skins in the game, that's neat. I now have about 40 Electoons and I'm playing as Teensy Globox.

Phylum · #**1234** 12-24-2011, 03:09 PM

Most of the skins are for the teensies. I have 2 skins left to unlock and I only have 2 different skins for Rayman and Globox. Luckily the next skin if for Rayman.

Dynamithix · #**1235** 12-24-2011, 04:01 PM

Doesn't bother me much, if I want to play as Rayman, I play as the original. Teensies on the other hand could wear anything.

Just got WRC 2! ;D

Crashpunk · #**1237** 12-25-2011, 02:24 AM

I just got Mario kart 7, I've played on it for about half-and hour and it is fantastic. The graphics are great, The 3D effects are very good and the new tracks so far are pretty nice,

Only 3 little nit picks which I have is that Wario isn't a standerd character so I have to unlock him

, Waluigi isn't in the game at all and the Queen bee from Mario Galaxy a character! WHY!

AlexFili · #**1238** 12-25-2011, 03:28 AM

I'll be playing on Rock Band 3 with a keyboard accessory soon

Update: Got my keyboard controller now. My bad.

Phylum · #**1239** 12-25-2011, 03:48 AM

What do you think this is, the "What Will you be Playing Soon?" thread?

Fuck's sake, Alex.

***Nate*** · #**1240** 12-25-2011, 03:52 AM

To be fair, he's not the only one who's been doing that lately. I've been forcing myself not to comment on the trend.

JennyGenesis · #**1241** 12-25-2011, 04:30 AM

Well today as presents I got Saints Row The Third and Goldeneye 007 Reloaded.

Saints Row is ok so far, but I think that the vehicles drive horribly on this game! To me, it feels like that the cars are on ice. The graphics are great and surprisingly for a Saints Row game, I've had no glitches yet :O

Goldeneye is also ok, but good god the multiplayer is awful! The first task is finding a game, which is hard enough, but oh boy, it plays exactly like Call of Duty...... now that already sounds bad enough, but everything feels sooooooo slow and soooooo sluggish, and even worse, when you die, this annoying music plays and you have to watch blood run down the screen EVERY FUCKING TIME AND ITS DAMN ANOYING! Strangely, even though this plays just like Call of Duty, if you join a lobby that has a game in progress, you can't even join, you just have to wait in the lobby until it finishes, which I find odd. so, this game is not bad, but not amazing in terms of single player, but I really think the multiplayer sucks here.

Wings of Fire · #**1242** 12-25-2011, 07:38 AM

The visual novel I've been waiting for to be translated for nearly two years has finally been translated.

So I'm playing/reading that shit right now!

SYL made that game for me. Although it was already a really good game.

JennyGenesis · #**1244** 12-25-2011, 12:25 PM

So now that I have gotten some more play time on these games, meh, I don't like them too much to be honest, Goldeneye, even in single player just seems like COD in a 007 skin, and Saints Row The Third, christ, it's boring, real fucking boring. It's not even a case of me doing the first few missions either, I've put in a few hours and I just find the game boring and just down right stupid. I find that odd because I loved Saints Row 2.

Oh yeah, why did they remove the multiplayer!? All we are stuck with is 2 player co-op.

What do you think of it? I got the Tokyo Urban Stage DLC today and it is excellent! Apart from the fact that the display filter glitches on it.

Oh God, I've played, like, four visual novels and I'm already sick of those stock schoolroom backgrounds.

Either that or all Japanese classrooms look exactly the same.

Also Katawa Shoujo should be out in the first half of 2012, if you're interested.

Wings of Fire · #**1246** 12-26-2011, 05:40 AM

I think the unofficial release date is January the 3rd?

Hoping to have completed Little Busters by then.

4th. Don't get your hopes up, of course.

Traditional trippy VN trailer.

Wings of Fire · #**1248** 12-26-2011, 06:05 AM

I can't wait.

MeechMunchie · #**1249** 12-26-2011, 06:09 AM

I could ramble about Rin for a while, but I need to go put up some shelves and rewire my house and have nasty sex and pick my nose and whatever else hetrosexuals do.

Dynamithix · #**1251** 12-26-2011, 08:25 AM

Having a lot of fun with Rayman Origins. I'm now on the Ticklish Temple levels. Damn, I need 100 more Electoons to earn the new Rayman skin, for now I'm going to use either Grand Minimus or Red Globox. Those are my favourites! God, I wish I would've gotten this game on release date.

JennyGenesis · #**1252** 12-26-2011, 09:59 AM

Collection electons is a nightmare!

but so satisfying when you get enough to unlock rewards.

Progressing further on Saints Row The Third. Just played this mission...

I'm not liking this game, this is just ridiculous.

Thank you!

I tell people that and there all get mad at me on YouTube. There keep saying the same thing. 'What your talking about?' 'This game is BEAST!'

Me: Didn't you say the same thing for GTA 4?

Wings of Fire · #**1256** 12-26-2011, 04:19 PM

I'd like to note I'm only talking from a design and superficial knowledge perspective. I guess Shizune has something interesting about her in the game. Maybe.

I hate 'I'm a good girl with big breasts, glasses and brunette hair colour' stereotype in Japanese media. I loathe it. Even more so when they happen to be secretly evil or something in some vain attempt to spice up a totally unappealing archetype.

Though she's deaf and mute and translated for by a lesbian, so that's kind of cool I guess.

***Nate*** · #**1257** 12-27-2011, 03:00 AM

Urgh. That is enough exclusive conversation about visual novels, thanks.

MeechMunchie · #**1258** 12-27-2011, 03:11 AM

Yeah, I was going to suggest PMs. I can feel people's judging gaze.

Mr. Bungle · #**1259** 12-27-2011, 05:40 AM

Been playing Skyrim. Nothing but Skyrim.

I had high expectations for this game, and oh my. THey have been blown away. This game is just... perfect.

Crashpunk · #**1260** 12-27-2011, 08:20 AM

Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Without a doubt the best Wii game I've ever played. The controls are brillent, especally using the sword. They are a little hard to get use to but once you've mastered them, Oh god its amazing. The Gameplay is a huge step up from Twilight Princess and any other Wii Game.

So far the story is pretty good, There's still the whole 'Save the Princess' aspect of it but i've always liked that anyway. Oh and the Artstyle is beautiful.

I've also been playing Mario Kart 7. It mixes the best parts of Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii into one great game, Best Mario Kart by miles. (I've just unlocked Wario so its even better

)
