Ah, well I'm pretty sure someone around here played Ever17. That one is also a game you should read if you haven't.

[jsy3k (#32616)]

Been a while since I last came here.

Finished American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns within 2 weeks. The first game is hard as hell, but the story is quite rewarding. As for Madness Returns, the gameplay is so much better, but the story ending is a bit odd, for my taste. Nevertheless, both are great game.

Currently playing No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise for PS3. This game is freaking bloodier compared to its Wii counterpart. So far, the game is pretty interesting, and funny at certain parts, especially when the main character is charging his battery for the beam katana. He looks like he is masturbating lol.

At the same time, I am also playing Atelier Rorona, alternating between this and NMH. Hopefully, I can finish both games before Catherine comes in at the end of the month....

[jsy3k (#32616)]

Double posting, yay!!

Completed No More Heroes a few days ago! The game is awesome! The story is very plain, with lots of its own quirks and tons of profanities, but loved it, nevertheless! The blood is quite exaggerated though and sometimes covers the screen, which can be irritating at times. Overall, very good game and I am planning to finish this at higher difficulty at later time.

Got Catherine on Tuesday, and I should say that this game is hard as hell, but it is also fun as hell! The story is quite interesting so far. Going to get Katherine ending, before going for the sexy young Catherine =P

[Veleon (#124559)]

i also picked up Catherine. I decided to man it up and start out playing on Hard Mode. This has proven to be a bad idea of sorts and this game is kicking my ass. Although I do like having a challenge. So this will prove to be a rewarding experience as I work through it.

[jsy3k (#32616)]

[Veleon (#124559)]

Yeah, it's quite aggravating at times but then I again, I pretty much always play games on hard mode when I play them for the first time if available. So over the years it has made me learn how to play games quick. Practice makes perfect.

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

huzzah. I went easy, since i already knew it was going to be hard as hell, since ppl in japan couldnt beat it on normal, so atlus had to release a patch that added easy. But as it is I got it on sunday, and right now i am forgoing sleep to finish off the very end of the game. So tomorrow at work i will be a zombie, and it will be my own damn fault woot!

[cranston (#84421)]

Got my hands on L.A. Noir. Looks good. The interrogation sequences which involves examining facial cues in order to determine whether or not your witness/suspect is lying is unique, shows off some of the capabilities of the new gen consoles. But I hate driving. I can't control the cars well.

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

remind me never to be a passenger if you are driving cranston :-p

Went back to a number of stalled games.

First is Agarest Wars. Restarted from the beginning, this time at easy difficulty. There's a big disparity in the difficulty levels. In normal difficulty, my characters were made out of glass and died too easily. In easy, my characters only have to endure scratches although the monsters still take quite a bit of killing.

Secondly, Sengoku Rance. Hoping to clear another campaign and unlock CGs.

Third, Princess Lover. Unfortunately, immediately after reloading my save game, I ran into two sex scenes one after the other. Now I remember I had been running 3 different routes at the same time and all of them were bogged down at sex scenes. If only I can just get past these, I might be able to put this away permanently. (Although I still love Seika very much! )

Taking a break from my PS3 games, while waiting for Shadow of Collosus and ICO Collection in the next few days.

After seeing the images of Galaxy Angel in Cranston's VN images thread, I finally managed to play this game and finished it.

So far, I managed to get Vanilla's route, which is unexpected, since I am actually wanted to get Milfeulle's ending, but for certain reason, I got rejected >_>'

Anyways, replaying the second time for Milfeulle's ending.

[Stick (#5576)]

huh, It's been a while since I posted in this thread. I was more or less on vacation during august, so I took that time to finish some games on the backlog.

Bioshock 1
Final Fantasy 13
God of War 3
Command and Conquer 4
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Alpha Protocol
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Vanquish
Medal Of Honor
Enslaved
Singularity

For that glorious month in August, I truly felt free. Lazy, but free.

Fastforward to now, I finally completed Torchlight, which has been sitting on my computer for a while.

To commemorate Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I installed Deus Ex: Invisible War, but I'm having issues playing with it, specifically, the game makes me feel nauseous after a few minutes. I think it's a FOV issue, and I need to figure out what's causing it.

[cranston (#84421)]

@stick
Wow! I can't imagine being able to clear so many games in a single month.

On topic (update since last update):
Once again, I hit a block wall with regards to Princess Lover and Agarest War. Inside a mere 1.5 weeks. Short attention span? Easily bored?

Still progressing on Sengoku Rance but alternating with Daiteikoku (for which I'm missing just a few CGs).

Played Valkyria Chronicles (new game) for quite a number of hours over the week. This is positively my favourite PS3 game.

Also cleared (the last of the 2 of) Kaoru's route in Amagami. Then spent hours trying to unlock a particular scene involving Morishima-sempai and Kaoru, but couldn't figure out the pre-conditions. Then revisited the events of Tsukasa's routes. Anyway, with Kaoru's routes cleared, that means I've cleared all the 6 main characters (Haruka, Tsukasa, Kaoru, Nanasaki, Sae, and Rihoko). Now to see if I can get to the events of stalker-girl.

Right now i am playing underground and i love this game its really amazing.

Got Atelier Totori last night and played it for 3 hours. As expected from Gust, the graphics ain't quite there, but for some indefinable reason, I find the figure of Totori running around with her fluttering arms impossibly girlishly cute. I could die of diabetes. As for the other aspects, i.e. battles, gathering ingredients, and synthesizing, they're pretty standard for Atelier games. But it's a proven formula which works, so it's fine. There are a couple of things: Totori is very fragile, and synthesizing is a cinch. Unlike previous Gust games which I've played, instead of hack and slash in battle, I'm using the character to spam items. (Of the explosive kind.)

Recently completed Esperia's route in Eien no Aselia. That leaves just Orpha left for 100% completion.

Also recently completed was Kotori's route in Da Capo. While I had bought this around June of 2010, I had never touched it (other than test load) until now.

After I had completed the above playthrough of Eien no Aselia, I was looking over the VN icons on my desktop trying to figure out what to do next. I had quite a number of uncompleted titles, but my gaze was drawn by Clannad. I've not completed Fuko, Nagisa, and After Story, but what came to mind was that I wished to read Kotomi's story again. So, I started what is probably my 3rd playthrough of Kotomi's route.

A few days ago, I also started another playthrough of Amagami. Trying to get the scenes involving Risa. Slow progress since I'm unwilling to fast forward the text.

Currently alternating between Valkyria Chronicles (replay) and Atelier Totori (1st playthrough) for my PS3 fix. Also playing Sengoku Rance off and on.

Started a new game of Persona 3 a week ago de arimasu.
Originally booted up Amagami and re-read some of her events, then decided to play something more exciting de arimasu.
Have just got Fuuka to join the team de arimasu.

UGH! I wanna play Skyrim but it's sold out everywhere. Stupid black friday shopping. I've heard it's pretty sick.

Other than that, just a crap load of Gears of War 3 and MW3.

Doesn't look like my fellow nfo gamers are playing many shooters :-/

Haven't been playing much console games since I am out of home for most of the weeks.

Instead, I have been playing constantly Fate/EXTRA in PSP. Completed Saber's Route and currently on second runthrough of Caster. I screwed up one choice in her route, and I did not get the full story of Caster, other than her true name. Hopefully can finish this route with her full story, before going for Archer's route.

Doing a little advertising:
Mangagamers recently released the trial version of Deardrops, and I completed it over the weekend. It's quite nice. I recommend it for anyone interested in VNs. I've also put up CGs in the usual place.

[cranston (#84421)]

Acquired Deus Ex Human Revolution on Friday and have been playing it over the weekend. This is a good game, well deserving of the high ratings it gets.

[cranston (#84421)]

Still playing Deus Ex Human Revolution, should be close to the end. I must say that the inclusion of Zombie Apocalypse stage is so cliched it stinks to high heaven.

At the same time, I've been playing this rather dated turn-based strategy game called Gadget Trial. It's like Advance Wars, but where your units are formed by mecha musume. The story goes that a new weapon system has been developed, robot girls with strap-on variable weapons modules (if anyone remembers an old cartoon called (iirc) the Centurions). Further, in order to be able to command armies, the girls have the ability clone themselves via mitosis. Anyway, it's great fun.

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

Just got finished playing Corpse Party on the PSP. It is a download only game, so it cannot be bought in store. It was really really good. A game where these friends perform a ritual to stay friends forever, but they perform it wrong and get transported into this alternate dimension of their school. They are also separated from each other, and the halls are occupied by dead corpses of other people that have performed the ritual wrong. While there you are greeted by hostile spirits and find out about the cruel history of the school you are going to. It is split into 5 chapters each ranging about 1-4 hours. And 10 extra chapters that you unlock by getting the wrong endings to each chapter. And the voice acting!!!! REALLY GOOD!

Recently purchased a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic Collection which includes all the HoMM games from 1 till 5 including all the expansions (so pretty much every game in the franchise except 6).

HoMM 1 was so old that I had trouble running it with modern day technology so I just skipped it. Finished HoMM 2 a few weeks ago and I'm currently on the last campaign of the HoMM 3 prequel expansion (shadow something). Brings back so many fond memories. Wish I re-played this franchise a lot sooner instead of perfecting my JRPGS on consoles.

[Stick (#5576)]

[cranston (#84421)]

Over past few weeks been replaying Tears of Blood. I'd forgotten how awful the voice acting is. Regardless, I'm rather fond of the story. Clocked over 50 hours playing time already but still quite a bit from the end.

At the same time, replaying Mass Effect 2. A refresher course for Mass Effect 3. Almost done. Just need to grab the IFF and give the Collectors a beat-down.

[cranston (#84421)]

Played and completed 1 ending of Mass Effect 3.
I really, really dislike the ending.
I was having so much fun and awesome right up until that ending.
What kind of crap ending is this?

[cranston (#84421)]

Forgot to mention that I was very pleased to find that ME3 ran well on my low-spec PC. It's so low-spec I can't run any Total War game after Rome.

Currently playing No More Heroes: Soul of Guardian for PC. This game is freaking bloodier compared to its Wii counterpart. So far, the game is pretty interesting, and funny at certain parts, especially when the main character is charging his battery for the beam katana. He looks like he is masturbating lol.
