What games are you playing now?

[Kuisanagi]

Replaying Mana Khemia 2. Which I consider to be one of the finest GUST games.

...really? I found the story so boring I could get through more than 10 hours or so (tell me when its supposed to pick up)

Current playing Atelier Totori which I consider to be one of the finest GUST games =)

[Nash]

Totori over Mana-Khemia 2? This I must see.

[Hedgey]

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. All the games I've been playing lately are really old.

Replaying Mana Khemia 2. Which I consider to be one of the finest GUST games.

I personally think it's predecessor, Mana Khemia 1 were superior than Mana Khemia 2 in almost every ways.

Spoiler for How to beat the optional dungeon:  [ Open ]

If it's those gangsters in optional dungeons, just bring Muppy and unleash some "Puni miracles" on them.

Personal preferences and all, but I find that other than Atelier Iris 2, none of the Atelier games has a story that's supposed to "pick up." True there is always a main plot that goes straight through the entire game, but most of the time the attraction comes from the various (often unrelated to main story) scenes and side-stories instead. And I find MK2 to be the most enjoyable in this aspect, the jokes are funny, and just seeing how the NPCs' dialogues change after each chapter is enough of interest for me.

Also, I'm the type of player who likes to explore everything in a RPG, and the traditional style Atelier games with their highly strict time-limited system don't allow me to do that. Meanwhile with the more RPG-oriented games (Iris and MK series) I can do whatever I want at my own pace without worrying of running out of time and getting a bad end before I could even set foot into the later dungeons.

Then there's the battle system. To be honest I find the Arland subseries' battle system to be quite slow after what Mana Khemia and Ar tonelico delivered. MK2's battles are so upbeat and involving that, by endgame, the speed is almost comparable to a real-time battle system, yet at the same time is still turn-based. Characters flying switching in and out, doing multiple hits in a flash, etc. And there are also the battle themes.

In fact, the only thing I don't like about MK2 is its opening movie, half of which features still images instead of the usual anime animations, the other half is wasted on a wriggling fire-breathing big fat dragon that doesn't even appear as an enemy in-game.

But eh, it's all opinions.

But old-school games are awesome...

[Ar-cen-ciel]

Currently playing Resonance of Fate

Spoiler for Major spoiler:  [ Open ]

News to me that Reanbell's rack is too small for Vashyron's taste...

[Nash]

Suikoden... Layton...

I need to finish as many of 2011 backlog as possible...

[alice3ify]

Fate/EXTRA, I have promised my backlog to beat it in the duration of 4 days. Tomorrow is the deadline, and I'm in my second-to-final battle. Female Protagonist x Archer is an awesome pairing, for me.

[Hedgey]

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I got over a fourth of the way done yesterday, I think. Pretty sure I'm gonna play Mother 3 once I'm done with it.

[alice3ify]

Just gotten myself a new old games. Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and Covenant of the Plume.

[Nash]

Suikoden Tierkreis.

[Kuisanagi]

Suikoden Tierkreis.

Coincidentally, me too. Playing some Christmas catch-up

[Nash]

It's like a brand new experience... since I've forgotten so much of the game's finer details.
I hope it's still possible to unlock the Prismatic Peach...

(is obviously deep in a Suikoden mood)

[Thunder]

I'm going to finally try to finish off AT3 soon~

[Nash]

Yeah, I'm trying to finish as many of my backlogs as Reyvateilly possible in 2011...

Once I get my PSP, my backlog is going to explode!

[Palsa]

I finally got around to ordering Soul Calibur V, I hope they plan to announce Talim and Zasalamel soon.

[Nash]

Got the Blades on my side. ^________^

Time to visit the Kobold... I mean, Roar.

[Mystic]

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition with sprinklings of Pokemon White.

[Nash]

Alright. The Austers have joined up. Time to owned those Sandy Beach.

I wonder what should be my first PSP title...
