The "What you are playing now" thread - Summer Edition.

Mr E

Its been a while since we did one of these....

360:
Lego Star Wars TCS
Lost Odyssey
Stranglehold
Elder Scrolls Oblivion

I'm kinda bored with Rock Band (being rhythmically challenged doesn't help)

Wii:
Nothing really. Can't beat the last 2 levels of Boom Blox, and I've just finished Lost Winds. Looking out for a cheap copy of Okami (might be tricky as I haven't even seen it full price yet).

DS:
Just finished Soul Bubbles, and need to go back to The World Ends With You.
Playing a very simplistic (but ridiculously addictive) match 3 puzzler called Jewel Master Cradle of Rome. Metal Slug 7 should keep me occupied for a bit, and jEnesisDS just got a big speed boost and sound improvements, so I'll play some megadrive games...

tribulus

Because of this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055334038

I'm back playing the original Flashpoint.

newbie2

just finished crysis - very buggy ending. i think I'll move on to Mass Effect, I'm hearing good things about it.

Only just got a PSP recently, so it has been eating up a lot of my time.

Currently playing through -
God of War: Chains of Olympus
Patapon
LocoRoco
Manhunt 2
Final Fantasy VII (started playing through Crisis Core, wasn't into it, so I decided to play through VII all over again)

PS2
San Andreas (Finally got the disc back after my mate had it for a few years)

DS
Soul Bubbles
The World Ends with You (Took a break from it for a while, really have to get back to finishing it)

Wii
Smash Bros Brawl

Megadrive
Hooked on The Revenge of Shinobi all over again

And I should finally be getting my Neo Geo 4 slot arcade cabinet up from my aunts, where it has been sitting now for almost three months after buying it from someone on ebay. Once it's here I'll probably spend the rest of the summer doing it up...and buying lots and lots of games for it too of course.

360:
GTA 4
Ninja Gaiden Black (on and off)

PC
Still mostly playing the multiplayer for Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and its current balance beta.

Also going back through the original Deus Ex with the Shifter 1.81 mod that fixes a few script bugs and adds in some new weapons and augmentations. I was also considering replaying the sequel Deus Ex: Invisible War but I can't get it to work properly. I think it just does not like Vista much.

PS3
Dabbling here and there with a few games of MGS 4 multiplayer.

Krieg

Finished Mass effect, currently tearing back into eve online

Ninja Gaiden 2 - Pissing me off a bit now, with the crazy camera but I will perservere!!

Bad Company - Fun game, but I just want to finish it off now so I can trade for SCIV.


PSP

Final Fantasy IX - On Disc 4 and just doing side quests now before the big battle.

My main problem is that I move on to new games before completing what I have. I've Army of Two, Condemned 2 and a couple more to finish, and I have to get back to C+C3 and LotR: BfME eventually.

ambro25

After 25+ years of gaming, I've just about had enough of the console cycles, the endless sequels, this-that-the other branded M$, Sony, Nintendo etc.

So, having now gotten rid of absolutely every last console, cartridge, disc, etc. lying about the place (for the first time in what is probably decades by now :eek:) "what are you playing now?" = currently, nothing.

Next week, however, I am taking delivery of my first Jamma cab and will mostly be paying Rezon (RType clone), while awaiting the 400 in 1 jamma pcb on its way from HK

:pac: indeed, and this be the cab.

GTA: San Andreas, which I love. Don't know why it got so much bitching on release about the large maps, eating/working out/training stats business. The "don't like CJ as a character" comments are equally mystifying provided you dismiss the obvious casual racism explaination. The huge maps and highways give you a real chance to open up with a fast car and go on a proper joyride without having some phantom car appear out of nowhere and turn left in front of you every 30 seconds, or have your car destroyed on one of the "every other lamppost is indestructible" items. The ability to jump and swim also solves a lot of headaches. The only bad point is the flight missions, which are more a problem as they were so obviously designed for the PS2's controller and not a keyboard/mouse combo.

Also playing GTA 3 as a comparison and finding it a lot easier having played SA.

When I read this I was like, how bad can it be? I've played vice city on the xbox and the flying was done really well in that, surely it'd be even easier with a mouse and keyboard.
I was wrong. Who ever came up with the controls for the flight mission should be shot. Dead.
All they had to do was have a key to accelerate and let the mouse point where you want to go. Instead I had to turn off fly by mouse as it's actually unusable. The plane will just completely spaz out. So then you're left with only the keyboard where the keys will actually do random **** depending on what the plane's doing. Oh yeah and to make sure you really get pissed off, instead of maybe letting you pass through some world objects, every single ****ing fence, lamp post, sign ec. can be bumped into. I nearly stomped on my keyboard.
Then they follow it up with a chopper mission which was actually a lot easier but you need three hands. One for WASD, one for the arrow keys and one for the mouse. gg Rockstar
