What are you playing?

[Rakia]

Been playing Tales of Symphonia, leveling up and sheesh.
Also replaying Arkham City cause I got the Dark Knight Returns outfit and he's way more badass.
And, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus. Amazing games (I never had a PS2 )
And soon, the MGS HD Collection.
Good thing school semester is done.

(Is Skyward Sword any good?)

(Is Skyward Sword any good?)

Let me answer that with this...

Did you enjoy the Wii controls of Twilight Princess? If not, could you at least tolerate them?

If you didn't enjoy the wii controls in twilight princess, you won't enjoy the controls much more in Skyward Sword(Don't let the fanboys tell you otherwise).

Needless to say, the control scheme is the only bad point. Everything else is top notch, story, character interaction, adding a run button is not as stupid as it seems, etc etc

If you enjoyed Twilight Princess you'll enjoy Skyward Sword more.

My friend who's not a fanboy says they are great, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

I BEAT X3 AND UNLOCKED BATTLE & CHASE!!! So next time I'm gonna play with that before starting X4.

Just finished Skyward Sword myself

Just a note; be sure to make several Heart Potion++. You will need them. I had 4 bottles at the end of the game. I still lost a few times at the final battle though. (Used 2 of them on the fight beforehand; 1 was Heart+ and another was Heart++; didn't have enough bugs to enhance one of the potions)

That's the dumbest thing I've read today. You can't compare the controls in TP to SS. Yes, they both use motion controls, but the way they are used makes a world of difference. I hated the controls in TP, but I loved them in SS. They completely made you rethink how you fight enemies and made it so you had to actually consider your next action instead of blindly swining your sword. I seriously hope your post was meant to be sarcastic or something.

Nope. It's just how I felt. The motion controls in TP were way more tolerable than the controls in SS. It helps that TP didn't demand too much: Waggle to slash and IR pointer for aiming stuff. It worked quite well for a launch title. Skyward Sword feels like they just added motion controls for the sake of adding them, just because it was on the Wii. Should have had a classic controller option, honestly.

They would have had to of dumbed down the enemies like crazy which would have make the overall game super easy and a lot less fun. See, it's not that they just randomly added motion controls for the hell of it. They added them and thought them through. Every action you make has rewards or consequences. Pretty much every motion based feature in the game is hard at first but you actually learn and improve which feels good. You actually feel like Link, starting up a bit shaky, but you learn and improve as he does, and thats a lot more than you can say for the traditional "Mash the A button" style Zelda.


Anyways, more on topic, I'm not playing any games as of right now, but I plan on getting that Pushmo game soon, looks fun.

Also, it's the fucking Wii, saying they just added motion controls to add motion controls is really a moronic statement, as that's what the Wii was made for. Also how could TP have better motion controls when SS has Motion plus? I'm loving SS so far

For whatever reason I was looking through my old PS2 games late last night and I picked out A Bard's Tale.

I completely forgot that the narration was done by Tony Jay. Good times ensue.

[Garamonde]

Mega Man Battle & Chase is amazing. Stealing parts from the other robots as Roll is quite amusing.

Proto Man: I knew that would happen.

Lol such awesomeness.

It's been a crazy christmas. After getting Mario Kart 7 recently, I went back and played ALL of the Mario Karts sans 64, even Super Circuit. Recently got a new copy of Mario Kart Wii as an early christmas present, so I played that not too long ago.

Also got a PS2 slim, so I decided to play some Tekken Tag. It's still a great and hilarious game. lol

Later I'll be giving Fortune Street a go... hopefully it was worth the $50.|

EDIT: Dragon Quest MonopolyFortune Street is awesome, worth $50 easily after just a couple sessions. BUY THIS GAEM.
