Re: Games Discussion Thread

what do you think is the longest game you could do without a bathroom break.

An interesting question. I don't think I'd be able to do more than 5-6 hours without a bathroom break, if only because I tend to drink a lot of fluids.

Still, don't think I could ever be a speedrunner. I like playing games, at times I like beating them quickly for the feeling of accomplishment , but I also don't like abusing glitches and the like for the sake of beating them quickly. And I also tend to like to go for 100% in things, within reason.

Hrm. If there was anything I might be able to speedrun, it'd be FFV; although I doubt I'd get fast enough to really call it all that speedy. My sheer mastery of the job system means that I could build some good characters quickly, and my knowledge of what is particularly effective in what stage of the game helps too. I suppose I could give it a decent go if I was allowed to turn up game speed via emulator to get some power grinding done.

I will give someone a prize if they can do xenosaga 2 without a bathroom break.

Can it be Xenosaga 1?

I just don't really like 2 all that much. I mean, I kinda like it a little more each time I go to try to play it, but I never really feel like playing it to the end like I did with the first one.

Sadly, I was forced to cancel my preorder for Dragon Age II.



So I could preorder Dragon Age II: Signature Edition for the exact same price and get additional characters and bonus weapons.

I don't care what anyone else says a team of Red Mages is all you need. As soon as I got the class there was nothing I couldn't do. I even took the final boss out with them.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

I could never get over FF5. The games awesome, but, i felt like i was grinding enemies pretty hardcore on enemies just to level up. I havent played the gba version yet though.

Yeah, I'm looking at doing that myself. Exact same price is a good deal for all that extra stuff.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

There is no bad end, every monster hunter fan knows that no matter how badly the character is shattered, the cat army will put him/her back together as good as new.

Because of that post, I went to look up images of 'monster hunter cat army', and wound up finding this:

Yes, I know the date of the article says Sept. 2010, so I'm a little late.

Meet your additional character. I am so in love already and it's not wholly looks (The accent helps, too But it's actually his speech.) Pity DLC charries probably aren't romancable, but then, that's what fanfic is for.

D: I like my high level spells too much for that. Fire 3! Flare! Holy! Haste 2! Life!

My final party would be "traveller/classless" x 2, Mimic x 2, for two physical two caster characters. One beatstick with xfight and sing, the other with blue magic and magic sword, wielding masamune to always go first and start the battle with a mighty guard. One caster with black magic, dimension magic and xmagic, the other with white magic, summons and xmagic.

I do go all redmage for a bit, but it's basically the time after you get redmage until the second world, usually; once spells start appearing that they cannot natively cast it's time to work on other skills.

You are in luck, cause I play this game. What you see here is a MGS Peace Walker bonus content - Monster hunter levels. That baster in the picture who is about to eat a rpg shot is Rathalos. If you kill him and get a rank S on the mission then you get to wear it's skin as armor.
This bonus content actually goes both ways however and in the new Monster Hunter Portable 3rd you can download the DLC that gives you armor that makes you look like Big Boss or Boss depending on your characters gender and even some ninja armor for your feline comrade. Not only will it change your look but it also changes the sounds in the game to make it sound like a MGS game.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

We're in the final hours of Awesome Games Done Quick, with Chrono Trigger done and Final Fantasy IV (II on the SNES) underway. Donations are very close to topping $50,000, so get over to SpeedDemosArchive.com quick to watch the finale!

 

[Darmy647]

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Quick question, will these speedruns be avaliable to be viewed again after the whole things over? I'd like to re-watch a few.

 

[DarkFire1004]

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Yes, they will. They said at least two weeks to get the first videos up. They're even considering uploading a torrent.

Also, they broke 50k! Woooo! I can't believe I actually watched for so long. More than three days of accumulated hours worth of viewing. Totally worth it though.

 

[UrbanKirasagi]

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Yes, it will be about 3-4 weeks as they said on the stream before the videos are ready, but just like all the 2010 videos are still downloadable, so will be the 2011 videos. They will be sliced up by game, so you can just download the ones you want for the games you want, or download them all.

The final tally was upwards of $51000, hell of a job they did, and the finale due of Chrono Trigger and FF4 (II SNES) was quite epic.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Seems the guys that made Iron Grip Warlords also did a full-conversion mod for Half Life 2 that acts as a 'prequal' to IG:Warlords. Link here:

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Oi. If anyone here who has Borderlands + all 4 expansions wants to play with me some time, let me know who to send a friend invite to.

As I've said before, I got the Borderlands: GOTY Edition, and I'm looking for people to play with, since apparently my usual group burned themselves out on it.

Currently have a level 25 Mordecai, though I have no problems with starting a new character if you want to.

I -think- my SN is Iceholder. I -think-.

EDIT: Also, maybe it's just me, idk, but that site takes FOREVER for me to load, lurker.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Four expansions!? I've only heard of the zombie one. Guess I'll be trading in my vanilla copy to get the GOTY version then. I'd be able to join you, but you'd probably have to wait until March/April time once I've got my flat and sorted out internet. Goddamn thats a ways away.
