Still playing WoW. A little Civ4, and waiting for some good games to be released on Xbox360, so I have a good excuse to go buy one.

Playing BF2, CoD 2 and Rome: Total War on the PC atm as well as WoW and some DAoC (lowbie BG's are fun).

Xbox is sitting mostly idle, occassional Forza Motorsport and i really will get around to finishing Jade Empire one day.

PSP has been a major let-down, playing a little Lumines here and there adn just got Star Wars Battlefront (PSP) as a gift so i'll check that out.

Ive started Dragon Quest 8 today.  I like it so far, but it is SERIOUSLY old school console RPGing.

I just finished Radiata Stories and the 'choice' you make about half way through really annoyed me. I was soo hoping all the humans would be destoryed or turned into fantasy races or something cool. And not the bullshit that was an end. I picked the non-humans so they should of been the showcase and heros of the game. Really wish my character and Ridley could of just become non-humans then create a new world where humans don't exist.

Doesn't bother me, I picked up both. Makai Kingdom is funnier and more addictive. DQVII is, definately, old school.

Its modern graphics with 1990 console RPG gameplay.  Straight up.  Play it because you like old games, not to
see anything resembling innovation.

ding ding ding! I think most turn-based RPGs are old-school, it's just that some have better graphics. FFX is a good case in point.

Well, there is turn-based, and then there is "input commands for everyone and watch as they take their turns".  That's the real "old school" clincher for me.  Well, that, and I've found 1 mana potion in 25 hours of game play.  WTF?  It's been about a decade since I've felt so compelled to hoard MP.

I liked FFX combat, and yeah it's old school (if simply turn based constitutes as old school).

I still hate the game itself though. Maybe if the central characters had been Auron and Lulu I'd like it. Titus and Yuna? Not so much.

Holden Caulfield was probably femmy/gay. Alan Cumming is femmy/gay. Iggy Pop is femmy/gay. I don't mind them. Maybe because they're a little psychotic, I don't know.

Titus is lame.

Yeah, the characters and voiceovers for FFX were good.  Except for the two leads.

No.  I mean it plays almost exactly like an early Genesis or SNES RPG but with polygons.
Its like they transported the FF4 and DW 2 Dev Teams to now and gave them Jet Set Radio's cel shaded graphics tech.

If that's not enough retro for you, Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land is even MORE old school.  It pretty much plays
like 1981's Wizardry, except it acknowledges player abuse isn't cool and adds things like an automap.

You can also use Google Video and get some Ikaruga videos.


Also, I gave up on Eve after a month.  I would loved to have played it more, having missed out on Trade Wars during the BBS days.  I just couldn't play enough to justify the subscription.  If it was a single player game though, I would still be playing it now.

I wonder if there are any other trade-based games that are single player on the PC that have been released recently.  Someone mentioned that Patrician III game...

Civ 4 on the PC as I can't play SWG without getting pissy at the moment.

And Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth on XBox, which is working the survival horror thang just right, but you talk to yourself a little too much...or maybe it's the voices in your head...

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Hey, did anyone do a review of a post about Resident Evil 4 ?

I'm intrigued and yet I can't find any 'real' information beyond the usual websites with advertisement mandick in their mouths...

All I know is that everyone here with a Gamecube told me that it was the greatest thing since sliced bread (i.e. Robot Jesus). I bought it recently for the PS2, and while I don't think it's the "greatest thing", it's definitely a "must buy/one of the better games in a long while" ordeal. I haven't finished it though, so maybe I'll change my mind.

Disclaimer: I haven't played a lot of horror games, so I won't bother with comparisons.

I love the Resident Evil games, all of them.  I find them different from things like Fatal Frame, which I still find too creepy to even take out of the bag.

I'm seriously thinking of purchasing it.  I've finished FEAR and I'm getting bored in X3, so I thought a wee ps2 game would tide me over while the other half is killing Ragnaros or whatever the fuck it is this week.

But I'm hearing that they're NOT zombies ?

Omg ?

Yes and no.  Not the dead-risen-again as in Night of the Living Dead kind of zombie.  They are most certainly living.  Your first encounter with them (the opening) just demonstrates that people in this village are a bit... off.  Ok, very off, but they still seem people-like.
