Currently Playing v2.0 [Descriptive]

[Fate]

Current game: Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten

Platform: Playstation 3

Current play through: I'm on my first playthrough (and if I'm lucky, the only playthrough I'll need).

Current game completion (if known): Well, I've beaten the main game, but now I'm going for all the trophies. I have about... 20% trophies so far, I think? Not a single silver or gold yet, though.

Current party (if applicable): I'm just using Emizel and only Emizel for every single fight. I have a hard time NOT soloing maps in Disgaea. People tend to use several characters, but I suck at leveling them all at once. Though, once DLC is released, I do plan on using HD Asagi and Gig alongside Emizel.

Current level(s) (if applicable): Emizel is around level 2,100. I still haven't been able to get to level 9,999 yet. The other characters, I don't really use, so they are obviously less.

Current location: I'm just running around the Netherworld.

Current in game clock time: I have approximately 40:00 hours.

How have you been using your in game time?: I've been using my time leveling up before I keep advancing on bonus maps (I think I still have one left) and really start to delve into the Item World.

Current objective: Currently, my objective is just to level up and get to the final bonus map. At least, I think it's final.

Next objective: After I level up, my objective is to clear that map and any others if I need to, then start going into the Item World, Reverse Pirating, gathering Innocents and enhancing my weapons, and then do what I need to get the trophies.

Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: This game is absolutely amazing. In my opinion, it is the best Disgaea game yet! The story is great, well-written, and extremely likable. Also, the HD sprites are incredible. Everything looks really pretty.

Total game overs: I have seen the game over screen about twice, I believe. The first time was to get a trophy that required it. The second was a true loss. However, speaking truthfully, I should have died many more times. I just don't waste time by letting myself get a game over when my only used character dies. I simply quit and reload.

Favorite event so far: The final chapter. I will not spoil anything. All I must say is: OH, MY GOD. XD

Favorite character and why: Emizeeelllll! Honestly, he was one of my reasons for wanting this game so bad. I love the design, I love the voice, I love how he has a scythe (though he specializes in staves; Disgaea doesn't have scythes), and I love the attitude overall. Plus... I really want that hoodie he has...

Random stat you want to include (wins, losses, party stats, etc): Uhm... I don't know.

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): I rate this game easily with 5 STARS.

Comments: If you're a fan of the Disgaea series, then this game is a MUST. The combat is still similar as it has been since the first, so you'll be familiar with that, but it has many new features. Something that comes along with Disgaea 4 is more interaction between other players on PSN. They can now vote in your senate hearings and you in theirs. You can also invade each other on pirate ships.

This is honestly one of the greatest games I've played in a while. I am so glad it was worth the wait!

[Michael Swayne]

Platform: PlayStation2

Current party (if applicable): Party until the cops show up!

Current level(s) (if applicable): I am on the Medium Difficulty.

Current location: Music video set

Current in game clock time: I have put in maybe 30 minutes in the actual story.

Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: I have played it before, but it is still fun.

Favorite character and why: Midori, because she is the only one I actually like out of all of them.

Comments: Expect my full review of the game either this Saturday or next Saturday.

[Cyanist]

Current game: White Knight Chronicles: international version.
Platform: PS-3
Current play through: first go.
Current party (if applicable): I've just recently picked up Caesar
Current level(s) (if applicable): about 20
Current location: the underbelly of Greede
How have you been using your in game time?: story mode, training, unlocking spells, making combos, the usual.
Current objective: trying to open the reservoir gate
Next objective: probably directing the city to some nearby mines.
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: I like the custom-ability. You are allowed to choose and customize your own character. It's funny to watch a leering china-man in all the cut-scene backgrounds. The story is sub-par for me, but I make a point of not judging a game till its finish.
Total game overs?: none, I'm kinda cautious.
Favorite event so far: I like the incident during the wine delivery...
Favorite character and why: Elmdore. As I hardly use him for battles, I've tailored his attire to closely match that of a bum's. His hair already looks like he fell out of bed, so you see, unless I am able to equip a hat or helmet, he is hopelessly unkempt.
Random stat you want to include (wins, looses, party stats, ect ect): I've equipped my china-man with a samurai blade
Comments: I've purchased some harry potter glasses and have equipped them to Yulie. She looks strangely educated now.

Total game overs?: 2 (Hey, my brothers stole the good controller, alright?)
Favorite event so far: When Naruto got to be Hokage.
Favorite character and why: Shino. Very mysterious character, a tad fashion challenged, but I like his pose.

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): 5. Mass Effect, as I have mentioned, is my new favourite game series. All the games are absolute masterpieces. ME is not as good as ME2 in my opinion, but comes seriously close.

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent):
Comments: This game is really good! Has a lot of things you would look for in an rpg, let me check off what this game offers: Massive world to explore - check, Sidequests - check, Unique battle system - check, Great storyline - check, Memorable soundtrack - check, Character abilities - check, Optional areas (probably already covered in side-quests but w/e) - check, Character Development - check, good voice overs - check (I sure didn't have a problem with it), Replayability - check. Take note you're getting all of this on a non-HD system, that's pretty ironic if you look at it.

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): 3 stars.

[Mystyrion]

Current game: TERA beta
Platform: PC
Current play through: Second, first character was wiped
Current game completion (if known): NA
Current party (if applicable): Gavin (friend)
Current level(s) (if applicable): 13
Current location: Lumber Town
Current in game clock time: Unknown
How have you been using your in game time?:
Current objective: Turn in multiple quests
Next objective: Unknown
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: Really disappointed that there isn't a PvP battleground or something of the sort at lower levels. I guess the ton of WPvP makes up for it. Really love the action part implemented into the game. I just spent a lot of time grinding a hunter to 85 on WoW and it was a drag. This game makes grinding a lot more tolerable, sometimes even fun.
Total game overs?: I've died once from a high level ganking lowbies
Favorite event so far: Getting off Noob Island
Favorite character and why: Nakayami (my char), why? because I haven't payed attention to the lore at all so far .
Random stat you want to include (wins, looses, party stats, ect ect): Won a duel ha.
Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): 4.5
Comments: 4.5, really hoping this game turns out more than I'm expecting. The game seems like end game content is going to be a huge let down. Hopefully I' wrong.

[SuperSabin]

Current game: Detective Blader
Platform: Famicom (translated english)
Current play through: 1st
Current game completion (if known): unknown
Current party (if applicable): Detective Blader Pete
Current level(s) (if applicable): 17
Current location: Ochamomizu (I had to load the game to be able to remember and spell that at all)
Current in game clock time: Not available
How have you been using your in game time?: Progressing the story
Current objective: Investigate an incident at Elisa Academy
Next objective: unknown
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: Its really addicting to play; the storyline is enjoyable and the battles are fun. The music is catchy, however it gets annoying pretty quickly afterwards, its just an endless loop of a certain song and the game does have different songs but they loop and they're repetitive. The difficulty can be easy at some points and really hard at other points. Other than that i'm really enjoying the game. The random battles could use some toning down, its set to a high encounter rate for some reason.

[Kurt Zisa]

Current Game: Tekken 5
Genre: 3D Beat 'em up
Platform: PS2
Current Playthough: 1st, kinda. See below for details
Current Game Completion: All 30(ish) characters have been unlocked, and have completed story mode with each one of them at least once (well over 20 times for some). Completed Devil Within on easy mode.
Current Party (if applicable): I'm playing as Steve Fox at the moment, if that counts.
Party Levels (if applicable): It's not.
Current Location: The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 (spoken in announcer's voice).
Current in game clock time: Doesn't have a clock but I figure a very, very, very long time.
How have you been using your in game time?: Beating the shit out of people and assorted animals. Aslo trying to get everyone's rank up to at least 2nd Dan in Arcade Mode.
Current objective: See above.
Next objective: See above above. Plus I might give Devil Within another go on hard mode to unlock the more expensive accessories for each character.
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: Jinpachi Mishima is still a bitch of a final boss, provided you're unexperienced with a fighter.
Total game overs?: Too many to even beging counting.
Favorite event so far: Paul Pheonix's ending movie is quite funny...

Favorite character and why: I have two. 1st is Paul Pheonix. Strong moves that are quite easy to pull off, a three hit combo that almost KO's any enemy provided the odds are in your favour, and he makes me laugh. He's become kind of a joke character as games go by but he's still my favourite.
2nd is Bryan Fury. He's just evil. Murders those who saved him from dying and has a winning movie where he smashes the face of his defeated foe with his bare hands while grinning. You hear bones break. It's kinda gross. And yet he's one of my favourite guys to be. Quick brutal combos, single punches and kicks that knock anyone down and a range of launchers and juggles that means you can repeatedly hit your opponent and they may never get a chance to stand up, I've done that a few times my self. Plus he has the best evil laugh in the game.

Random stat you want to include: Got Paul Pheonix up to Tekken Lord (the highest rank in arcade mode) in around a week.

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game: I'd say 4.5. It's the kind of game that you can just pick up and play for a few minutes or for a few hours and still get the same amount of enjoyment.

Comments: I really love this game, along with all other Tekken titles. I've had the same file since I bought the game five years ago and it never gets old.

[Cyanist]

Current Game: Kingdom Hearts
Genre: RPG
Platform: PS2
Current Playthough: 1st (I'm never playing this game again )
Current Party (if applicable): Well, there's Sora, Donald, and, oh, right, theeeere's Goofy!
Party Levels (if applicable): Sora's at level 72
Current Location: I'm either at the Coliseum or Neverland.
Current in game clock time: 59:42 (Yeah, that's hours, folks)
How have you been using your in game time?: I've been training my butt off.
Current objective: I'm gonna beat Sephiroth, dudes! But I might defeat that Wraith creature in Neverland first...
Next objective: I guess I'll win the game so I can finally start playing the sequel I've heard so much about.
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: I really can't stand it.
Total game overs?: Game overs don't really affect people in this game, since upon being killed, you can hit the continue button, which will bring you to where you were immediately before you entered the battle. The annoying thing is that you have to relive the cut scenes, too. I've probably seen that Ursula one eight times.
Favorite event so far:

SPOILER!!:

When Sora turn into a heartless

Favorite character and why: Eeyore from the Winnie the Pooh world. Well, because I've always liked him.
Random stat you want to include: I have a LOT of MP and HP.
Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game: Luckily, I'm soon to do so.
Comments: This game is a completely unnecessary, lackluster rehash of memorable Disney moments wrapped in a serious children's story. What I'm wondering is: What kid, sappy smile and smeared chocolate on face, is old enough to punch buttons with such good reflexes and reason with the finest tactician, but is still brain-dead enough to laugh at Peter Pan's antics (I don't get that franchise, btw, for instance, why is it funny when Peter pokes his however short sword into Captain Hook's exposed rump, and why is he making fun of Hook's perfectly valid fear of crocodiles? No wonder the old pirate wants to do away with that brat) Mindless, I say! Mindless

Favorite event so far: The nightclub (chapter 2)
Favorite character and why: Max Payne. He is THE badass
Random stat you want to include (wins, looses, party stats, ect ect): I have died A LOT
Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): 4 at the moment. It is a fun game, the bullet time it great, but be prepared to die A LOT. It's quite frustrating because the checkpoints are very spaced out and you have to repeat parts over and over.
Comments: Did I mention that I have died A LOT.

Next objective: Hopefully starting to get tier 3 classes soon, so I hope to get some Anti-Tank Snipers and Elite Gunners!
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: "Jesus that Tank is too powerfull! I like the story behind this game alot, the anime is pretty cool too."
Total game overs?: Probably about 6, most of them happening on the same fight with General Baldren.
Favorite event so far: Pretty much any time I play as Homer. He's my favorite character and I just like watching him fight.
Favorite character and why: Homer Peron. He looks like this little wimpy kid and has this kinda light angelic presence about him. He's a masochist and gets stronger the more he gets shot up. (I find him hilarious.) Jann Walker is a close second. (Just cause I like his accent. )
Random stat you want to include (wins, looses, party stats, ect ect): My Tank can one shot an AT Bunker. (I like that alot. :3)
Comments: I like the gameplay alot. The style I think is pretty unique to the game. I also think the characters are all very likeable, each with their own interesting backstory. I'm hooked!

Current objective: Gold.

Next objective: Build a new minecart line. Get the damned achievement. Also ongoing hunt for a dungeon.

Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: It's great. I really can't wait for the patches, though. I think that I need more to do and fast. Last I looked I was at 3000 for my rank. Spent way too much time on it.

Total game overs?: N/A

Favorite event so far: A creeper stuck just outside my guest house looking at us. Myself and a few others trapped inside. Freaked myself and about 3 friends out. It didn't move, it just looked at us. Then I realised the back door was open...

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars): 4 stars, maybe more with more content.

Comments: Had a lot of fun playing but atm it's only fun with other really. Could do with a worldwide server rather than friend drop in- drop out. Also needs a patch for online play. Too many random bugs and waaaay too much lagging.

[DragonHeart]

Current game: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Platform: Playstation 3
Current play through: 1
Current game completion (if known): No idea, still around the beginning.
Current level(s) (if applicable): 6
Current location: Variable.
Current in game clock time: 6 or so hours, maybe? Haven't looked.
How have you been using your in game time?: Sidequests, mostly.
Current objective: Between objectives, as I just finished a quest.
Next objective: Haven't decided yet, probably finish up the last couple around Gorhart.
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: Pretty fun. Wish it was a little more immersive though.
Total game overs?: 1, I think.
Favorite event so far: I kind of liked the chain of events with Illuvia and Herc Adwold.
Favorite character and why: Don't really have one.
Random stat you want to include (wins, looses, party stats, ect ect): Playing as a pure rogue for the moment.
Comments: The world was built in part by R. A. Salvatore, with creatures designed by Seth McFarlane. I expected a lot more to it. Not to say that the game isn't fun, but after playing Dragon Age this game falls more than a little flat in the characterization department. It's the one thing I've always disliked about the build your own character games and, IMO, something Bioware did very, very right. At least the combat is pretty decent; I like Faeblades.

[Unknown Entity]

Current game: Luminous Arc.
Platform: Nintendo DS.
Current play through: First.
Current game completion (if known): Chapter Eight. I'm assuming that's around the 30% mark.
Current level(s) (if applicable): Alph: Lvl 16, Theo: Lvl 13, Leon: Lvl 14, Saki: Lvl 15, Cecille: Lvl 13, Nikolai: Lvl 14.
Current location: Port Town Adwest.
Current in game clock time: 4h, 23mins.
How have you been using your in game time?: Mostly grinding. I screwed up once in the beginning of the game, and Heath was my highest level character by like five levels lol. When he left the party, I realised I needed to grind for a little bit. xD; I've also been reading some of the books in the library.
Current objective: Heading on over to Mining Village Gemarr.
Next objective: Same as always. Go after Vanessa, the bad witch, and find Lapisitier.
Total game overs?: None so far, but one close call.
Favorite event so far: Can't say I've had a favourite event. It's all been enjoyable.
Favorite character and why: Leon and Lucia. Leon is such a wannabe ladies man, and his conversations with Cecille make me laugh. And I like Lucia because... well, spoilers. But if you play, you'll know. She's good. I think...
Comments: I usually have a hard time getting into strat and tact games, but I've really loved this one. My partner bought me the second game at MCM Expo from the Red Star exhibit, and I loved it from that one, so I bought the first. It's easy to get into, I think. Most of these games have tiresome tutorials and cutscenes, but this one is just fun.

[Xanatos]

Platform: PC
Current play through: First
Current game completion (if known): I'll take a guess here and say I'm almost half way through

Current objective: kill me some traitors of Firenze

Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: this game came as a pleasant surprise, and at just a right time
Total game overs?: quite a few deaths so far, I usually miss the platform I'm supposed to jump on
Favorite event so far: when uncle Mario says "It's a me, Mario"
Favorite character and why: Ezio and and Leonardo da Vinci, Leonardo has good sense of humor

Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): it's a 5/5 game so far
Comments: it's easily one of the best games I played in quite some time, it's easy to get distracted from the main story due to huge amount of additional content this game offers, love the combat and jumping on the roofs, tons of diverse and aesthetically pleasing way to assassinate someone.

[Crescent]

Current game: Batman: Arkham City
Platform: PC
Current play through: 2nd
Current location: Outside GCPD Building
How have you been using your in game time?: Beating up random thugs..so levelling up
Current objective: Finding Mr Freeze.
Next objective: I'd like to complete more side missions once I'm out.
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: Such an awesome game Thankgod they made a videogame so right for my favourite and THE BEST comic book 'Superhero'.
Total game overs?: 3, CBF picking off prisoners armed with guns one by one, I was in one of those moods..
Favorite event so far: When the Joker kicked Batman out the window while he was tied to the chair yelling "I'll be in touch!!" LOL.. I find the Joker and Harley so very loveable. I hold a special place for them as I grew up watching/ absolutely loving Batman: The Animated Series. I watch a couple of episodes every night.
Favorite character and why: Batman. With so many shitstirrers in Gotham, he manages to stay so level headed. His staunch commitment to justice and unwillingness to kill is both annoying and sexy.. And he does it all without any lameass superhuman powers..
Rate the game if you have beaten or completed the game (1-5 stars; 1 being poor while 5 represents excellent): 5.
Comments: While Ive been playing, my excitement for the next Rocksteady Batman instalment had been increasing that is until I found out that a major creative force and all-round awesome mind, Paul Dini will not be returning for the third instalment..Dini is responsible for not only orchestrating the first two games, but also MY beloved Batman: The Animated Series cartoon. Those Fkers.

Current party: Me and Quinntastic.

[Cyanist]

Kingdom Hearts: 2
Platform: PS2
Current play through: 1rst time.
Current game completion (if known): I'm at beast's castle and I've finished Mulan's world.
Current party (if applicable): Sora, Donald and Goofy.
Current level(s) (if applicable): 13 (I think)
Current location: Beast's bloody castle.
Current in game clock time: I don't care.
How have you been using your in game time?: I certainly haven't been training up my characters. Just using my drive when things get difficult.
Current objective: Finding out why Beast locked his servants in the dungeon, I guess.
Next objective: I guess I'll progress to the next world.
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: I think it's better than the first, but I did like KH: RE's card battle system better. I think they've done away with the more childish Disney worlds this time around, so I'd say it's okay-ish.
Total game overs?: 3 (the mulan world's morale meter had me thrown and those big half bull-half horse like things can be nasty).
Favorite event so far: When Belle hugs Donald.
Favorite character and why: Those nobodies have some good fashion sense.
Random stat you want to include (wins, looses, party stats, ect ect): I've chosen the wand thingy for my weapon, so I'm hoping I'll have more MP than HP.
Comments: My brother says there's a cool cut-scene somewhere in the future. If it disappoints, so help me I'll crack this disk!

[Xanatos]

Current game: Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Platform: PS2
Current play through: First
Current game completion (if known): 60-70%, if I had to guess
Current location: Safe room in Antarctica
How have you been using your in game time?: I would say shooting zombies and pushing forward, though right now it's more avoiding zombies as I have to save as much ammo as I can
Current objective: Explore the facility we crashed in
Next objective: look for that crossdressing bastard, I guess
Thought of the game at the point you are currently at: The most challenging Resident Evil I played so far, either that or I got rusty
Total game overs?: I'm holding up pretty good considering how scarce the bullets are, second battle against Tyrant was brutal though
Favorite event so far: Can't say I have one
Favorite character and why: Same as above, not really what you would call a memorable characters
Comments: This is exactly what I've been missing on while playing newer games in the series, Resident Evil 4 & 5 respectively. Code Veronica X is brutal, it scared bejesus out of me, the game punishes you for every wasted bullet... man, how I missed this tense and creepy atmosphere. Code Veronica X is not without it's flaws, the voice acting is terrible to say the least, and the story may have been more engaging.
