I finished playing chrono Trigger re released on the first playstation (SNES coming first, of course). And now I'm in the middle of playing Lunar 2: Eternal Blue and Legos Lord of the rings.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. I might end up replaying it soon actually...

South Park: The Stick of Truth

I just beat this minus all of the side missions. I did some of those though. Surprisingly, it was a good RPG. It had different armory and weapons that could be modified and had good abilities for the different classes. I was a fighter class but I've seen some playthroughs involving different classes. I didn't get half of the reference because I watched only like half of the series but I still laughed hard regardless. It was awesome

I finished playing Legos:Lord of the rings for the first time. I bought it a year ago so that I could get it for a cheaper price on amazon (13.99).

I beat Prototype 2. Fun game and all, but I really dont remember a whole lot about it. Besides it being fun.

Ive been playing Raging Blast, trying to unlock stuff, but its a freaking grindfest. Just unlocked some new bgms and stuff. woo.

Minecraft is as addictive as ever, but a lack of serious builders to play with and make a world with is kinda killing it for me... This is the millionth castle ive tried buildng and already the whole world's gone to ****. pfffffft.
This was the best thing I ever built right here, sorry for the crappy photo

Was the only time everyone put their differences aside and worked together. The sad thing is, it shows. Then someone burnt down 2 of the houses, the two hardest to build ones, and we just sort of quit.

Last year, my first gen PS3 fell victim to the dreaded YLOD, and since my old game saves can't be used on my new console, I'm now working through the games I played.

Hitman Absolution - Mastered The King of Chinatown, achieved Silent Assassin rating for the level.

Dynasty Warriors 8 - Collected all allies and fame in ambition mode, and working on getting ultimate custom weapons. Maxed out Lu Bu.

Lightning Returns FF XIII - Level-grinding Lightning on the 4th replay.

Tomb Raider - Played through, working on collecting GPS flash drives.

Starting up Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition with the NPC project mod attached. Whee!

Also just got KotOR 2 working with the restord content mod. And am playing through the original Kotor...

I got through Lunar 2:Eternal Blue. The boss fight with Zophar was the hardest boss battle in the game. It took me three times to defeat his second form.

Dug up my old copy of Valkyria Chronicles, and started from scratch again. Don't remember the battles being this tough. Assigning team members was pretty fun, though.

Had to restart the Battle of Kloden after getting Alicia killed, but thankfully managed to evacuated her the second time.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel:
I'd like to say I finished the Claptastic Voyage DLC, but they seriously dropped the ball with the final boss. It's got more health than a raid boss, it gains more and more turrets as time goes on, (Which are also incredibly durable) it regenerates its shields twice in the fight, enemies constantly spawn (And grow more numerous as things progress) and half of the battlefield is lava. I spent an hour and a half whittling its health down, got it to 25% before it killed me and I just gave up until they patch this godawful mistake.

And it really sucks because the DLC was amazing until then (Not to spoil anything, but we see the world from Clappy's perspective, and it's not meant to be funny) and I really wanted to see the end of the story.

Got Dragon Ball Z Xenosaga couple of days ago, up to the Ginyu force. Don't want to give anything away, so I'll just leave it at this, Gohan keeps dying on me...

I got it last week. I haven't quite hit 100%, but I've completed every Parallel Quest and story mission (Including the post-story missions starring Bardock and Broly) and I've got a level 80 Saiyan.

Protip: Saiyans are broken as hell. A lot of people say they're terrible due to having lower starting stats in some areas, but it's totally offset by being able to go Super Saiyan and spam Ultimates as long as you have the ki to keep the form up. (And if you have any of the recharge abilities, you do!)

And also I bought season pass and completed all the DLC stuff up until now. (Which is just the one pack, but still)

I wish the other characters could transform too. I mean, both freeza and majin are based off multiform characters. It'd make more sense if only the humans couldn't transform. But eh, I don't have the game yet.

I got to lvl 50 in borderlands the presequel finally. I gave it a break because, honestly, it eas a bit of a letdown. Got some friends to play with me though, and besides a few moments (looking at you RK-5) It was quite fun. Too bad it's sort of dead compared to the other two.

I've picked up some FADC combos in SF4 finally. I'm able to Jump H. punch->target combo 2->H. Shoryu->FADC-> into Ultra with Oni. It does a little less damage than you'd think, and I can't quite pull it off on the fly yet, but im sure i will with practice.

In A Link Between Worlds I unlocked the secret boss. I didn't even know about him. You have to beat all the shadow link challenges in order to fight him. He's arguably the hardest fight if you don't abuse the super spin you learn from mother mai mai.

Saiyans are overpowered? *Gasp* Who would have ever thought of that?

So ive been playing Xenocerse the last few days. It''s incredibly way more fun than it looks. And it looks really fun. I'm a level 27 frieza race and I just finished the Android Saga. Only real complaint is the framerate will drop horribly with more people fighting. Me and my friend are co-oping the parallel quests, and I swear the game's friendlier to him than me with these rewards. He keeps getting all the better items, even when he does worse than me.

The game's RNG is incredibly bullshit. And its worse if the item you want is only from Ultimate Finish; if Ultimate Finish requires you to fight a certain enemy, it's up to the RNG to decide if the enemy shows up at all. And then you have to hope the RNG drops the item. It's dual-layered bullshit.

Love the game to death, though. Here's my Saiyan.

Well she's cute.

But yeah, I was on Namek, fighting a special goku, and he picked up and spun vegeta and smacked him into me and then threw him, sending us both flying. I just sort of swam away after that, I was done.

I also can't seem to fing a great mentor, Vegeta was okay, but then he wanted me to find this rare Z-Soul, and I just ran over hercule's way for that Dynamite kick (my guy's got TFS Nappa's voice, thats why. I have crusher ball, and when he throws it he yells 'Space Australia!', its great.)

I just want to get to the point were I can learn attacks like Super Nova and Spirit Bomb, but those are likely master level attacks.

Here's a guide for that. Spirit Bomb is only the second attack you get from Goku, but you can't get him until you're level 70. Supernova is the final attack you get from Frieza, though. Super Spirit Bomb, though, is a drop from a PQ, and I can't remember which one.

Just started playing Bloodborne. Difficult game, but more because you can't save as and when you want, rather than the gameplay itself.

The enemies certainly aren't pushovers by any means (you're pretty much dead if more than two villagers start to mob you in the early levels, before you are able to obtain an Insight to level up), but the really frustrating part is that if you die, you'll have to start all the way back from the last lantern (save point/HQ portal), with the enemies respawned, and your items remaining the same as the moment you died.

After 3 hours, I'm still at the first lantern after making it so close to killing the 2 werewolves. I can only imagine how bad the boss fights are.

What's crazy is that I don't even care. It's so damn fun playing, and there's usually a strategy to get past the enemies.

Its basically dark souls. So long as its not as bad as demon's souls, you should eventually get it. Demon's Souls is just cheap, i dropped it.

Speaking of dropping it, holy **** this whis and beerus fight what the actual hell is happening!? Trunks is absolutely useless, the super armor is everywhere and the scaling is off the charts. I can't spam projectiles to shut down beerus either, since im freeza race and my projectiles are very hard to use, though i can manage them. I was doing ok up till this fight, and from what ive seen, this fight is notorious. Everyone seems to hate it. Especially so since they can break your combos but you cant break theirs. I'm eventually going to have to grind to over level itor something, and considering im only lvl 38... just....****. I bet you can't respec either, I really wish co-op was an option. Sorry, ive just tried and retried this fight and it nevr matters what approach I use, any advice is definitely appreciated.

BeastProwl wrote:I bet you can't respec either

Actually you can. During certain Parallel Quests, a "Time Patroller in Training" will show up. (A random player's character set as an NPC, kind of like in Spore) Challenging and beating the Time Patroller has a chance to drop a Dragon Ball. (An actual one, not like the ones in the "collect three dragon balls" PQs) Collect all seven and go to the alter in Tokitoki, summon Shenron, and one of the options is a respec.

Or just roll a new character, since even if you delete your current character, inventory, money, PQ and story progress are carried over. (The only thing that really changes is your level) That's what I did when I was struggling with the mission where you have to fight like 6 Majin Buus.

And my strategy for Beerus and Whis: Charge up KI > go Super Saiyan > Spam Perfect Kamehameha from Cell > Repeat until victorious.

I've never played Demon's Souls, but I'm really liking Bloodborne. It's not an easy game in any sense of the term. Enemies can kick your ass without effort if you're careless, and even the ability to level up has to be "unlocked" by engaging a boss for an Insight.

Still, the gameplay is addictive and I'm a bit of a level-grinding addict, so it's not too much of a problem. I'm now able to farm blood echoes for exp, so it shouldn't be long before things get easier. Doesn't mean I can be careless, as there are plenty of enemies (werewolves and trolls in particular) who can kill players in one or two swipes whole if they get cocky or careless.

I scummed my way through beerus and whis today. Ugh, pain... But yeah, i'll be respeccing at some point I reckon. I'm currently fighting Demigra, and Trunks killed me way too fast. I need to level up a few times to retry this fight.

What are some must have skills btw? I'm feeling a touch insignificant.

Bloodborne

Spent the past few days at Central Yharnam level grinding to 40+, but am still not confident enough to take on Father Gascoigne. The 2 werewolves at the bridge can still kick my ass if I don't lure them to the house's entrance and kill them off there. Got no problems with the brick trolls, though.

Also, upgraded the saw cleaver by 2 levels, and bought the pimp cane. Found the Hunter garb in the sewers.

Still wondering if I should just exploit a cheat and skip Father G altogether.
