Games, Games, GAMES!! (Besides iDOLM@STER, of course XD)

More Colonization goodness. I really am a turtling type of player, I can't land in the middle of a French-Spanish dispute and thrive... but land in the good ol' Newfoundland and I'll be peachy n' well-rooted in a few tens of turns. Doesn't help that my favorite power is Dutch.

Also played some IDAS6AA later in the day. Some chump left enough credits for 5 games. Oh well, I put the credits to good use and said hello to my new dark red R32. I think I'll name it Haruka :3

Colonization? And yes, name it Haruka....wish there was still an Initial D arcade cabinet near where I live.

Also, just got Kid Icarus: Uprising for my brother. The dialogue is hilarious.

That game should be coming to my doorstep on Monday. I hope it's good. My 3DS can't keep my attention for long.

[AweOfShe]

Waiting for my copy as well. I'm hoping to squeeze it in between some Ys Oath in Felghana (I still keep playing it, even though I blasted through it like, 20+ times over its various releases...), and some DDP Daifukatsu.

@satty: it's a DOS game, a Civilization clone also made by Sid Meier. It's perhaps can be said to be an archaic game, but to me really fun.

Also, I'm not sure if the red in R32 is red or carmine. Because if it's carmine she shall be named Takane instead.

Ah, got it. And searching for the color might help. Either way, it might be great.

A quick look to wikipedia reveals that carmine is actually closer to the color of my IDAS6 NA6CE (and Haruka's red). The R32 red is slightly darker, and Takane's carmine seems to be more of a purplish red...

Oh well, might as well throw out some items in my World Of Dungeons game.

Just waiting for Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai (or Sudoku II: Tom Cruise Simulator).

Been playing Yakuza Dead Souls. I actually kind of like it even though it is different from the previous Yakuza games. The only issues I have are the annoying camera during zombie fights but other than that I am liking it so far.

[JNiles]

So I caved in and started playing Radiant Historia a few days ago.  My sleep cycle has been messed up for weeks- I can't remember the last time I went to bed at a normal hour.  It seems like this streak will not end until I go on a short trip next month.  Still trying to figure out which games to pack- I have this phobia about not having ways to kill time in the hotel despite the fact that there's very little downtime.  Currently planning on taking Devil Survivor 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, and The World Ends With You.

I like it too. I was annoyed that I couldn't use the right stick to aim, but I got used to it. The autoaim is very good, actually. But man, the levels...how far do they go?

How far are you in, too? For me, I'm still at Akiyama's episode, part 4 (I think). Hana out with a cold and in zombie-infested territory? Nope, go gamble, flirt with hostesses, and get drunk.

Also, the Ami and Mami SR+ Elise (Akiyama's final weapon upgrade) is probably the best overall weapon in the game. 50 rounds, fast fire rate, accurate, and does good damage. And it sparkles.

So far I am in Part 3 Chapter 2 in Ryuji Goda's story. From my judgement so far his part is easier than Akiyama's and Goro Majima's parts. But that is probably because level ups carry over to different characters.  I don't know, I will have to go further into his story before I can say for sure. Right now I am just focused on upgrading weapons and doing some substories to level up.

Welp, farther than me. And oh wow, I had a feeling that everyone carried over levels. Haha, great, I feel overpowered at Akiyama being level 51. I also assume this means that skills are also carried over?

Also, I find it funny that you get people to accompany you by saving them. Save people, get private zombie-killing militia?

So, what do you think is the best weapon?

And also, my crossover-making mind of mine just thought up of something:

Akiyama - Hokuto
Majima - Kuroi
Goda - Takagi
Kiryu - Producer

Iori can be Haruka.

My best friend called me over to see the Mass Effect 3 ending, he was dumbfounded by the fact that the main character kills himself. It reminds me a lot of XIII-2, where Serah died, Mog died, Fang and Vanille shattered and the planet was absorbed into darkness. If more games keep pulling this kind of thing, I'm not going to have any incentive to play through them.

i can't talk about Strange Journey, but the other 3 games will keep you occupied for several weeks, so i don't guess you need more than those

started playing Devil Survivor 2 a few days ago myself, so far it's more like Devil Survivor 1.5, but that's a good thing

"finished" Atelier Rorona yesterday. By "finished" i mean i'v now seen every ending i intend to see (missing the rich ending, but that's too much trouble because you must not trigger any character flags to see it). And i should have Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations in my post box when i get home today, so that one will be next.

Btw has anyone of you played Journey? It's a PSN game and imo a great argument for the "can games be art?" debate, and i don't mean graphics or sound, i mean the whole experience.

1 trophy away from the Under Defeat HD Plat. All I have to do is beat the first two stages without dying, or using a bomb. Well, and find all three bomb stocks within the stages. Shouldn't be too bad as long as I don't fly into enemy shots stupidly, like I usually do.

Once I Plat this, I will probably sell it, and grab the 360 version.
