What are you playing/what have you purchased?

Excited for tales of graces coming out tomorrow. Plan on doing a 48 hour play weekend (along with on and off throughout the week after work).

Skyrim. Oh how it's sucked me into its digital awesomeness...

Ha, I was right

I suspected that was the case from the moment I saw your new signature

On topic, I'm trying to finish terraria, but the hardmode is HARD x_x

(redundant, but true). Unfortunately, the people who made the game decided that they'll only be making one more patch

So it doesn't look like there'll be a bossfight against Cthulhu like they'd planned before or the ability to travel to alien worlds... I just hope the last update includes giving players the ability to make their own mods without hacking the game.

Ordered Resident Evil Revelations, finally, should be here soon.

Still popping in and out of Bioshock, pushmo and the bonus level of Mario 3DS and still need to finish Skyward Sword...

Picking up Silent Hill today. The latest reviews are disappointing, but I'm reserving my opinion until I actually play it myself.

by **HYRUL3** » 03.13.12 7:44am

On the console front, I've already put 30 hours in to Mass Effect 3. That amount of time playing is unusually high for me, take it as a "Mass Effect 3 is amazing, I can't put it down" kind of thing.

On the handheld front, still haven't beaten Resident Evil Revelations, mostly because I only play on the 20 minute bus rides to and from work and sometimes on my lunch break. The game itself is a lot of fun. Earlier I had expressed how disappointing the story is. Well, I've decided that even by Resident Evil standards, this is ridiculous. The characters are annoying, the plot is transparent, it's like they gave a pen and paper to a 12 year old and said "wrote something cool." By comparison it makes Other M feel like the outstanding narrative it could have been.

Kid Icarus comes out in two weeks, and I am ridiculously excited. It just looks fun, and unlike Resident Evil isn't trying to take itself seriously.

I finished paying off Xenoblade and pre-ordered Kid Icarus Uprising.

Still playing Pokemon Leaf Green but something weird happened. My DS Lite's batteries were going to die, but I was too lazy to go get a charger. So I put in some AA batteries into my old GBA to play. When I put in Leaf Green it was sticking out from my GBA, so when I tried to push it in more my save file got deleted.

Well at least I didn't get very far in the game.

Pre-ordered Kid Icarus Uprising (which got a 40 on Famitsu!) through Play Asia. Still waiting for my Super Mario 3D Land to arrive.

Other than that, I played quite a bit of Mass Effect during the weekend, but barely did so on week days.

Playing The Minish Cap here or there on the 3DS; that kinstone piece mechanic is extremely addicting! I spent almost three hours doing just that Sunday.

Almost finished with Anomaly: Warzone Earth, which I got through Humble Bundle*. Great tactical game. Do check it out if you have the chance.

Also almost finished with both Mutant Mudds and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, but both the final levels offer a bit too much torture for my taste.

* Speaking of Humble Bundle, last one's top contributors were HumbleBrony and Notch. HumbleBrony won by a cent.

So? What do you think of Mass Effect?

On the final boss in Resident Evil Revelations. Without spoiling anything, I like how nostalgic he feels.

Still blasting through Mass Effect 3, and loving every second of it.

Really enjoying it. Very different from the games I'm used to. And my Metroid sense doesn't let me simply go where I have to: I'll explore every room and speak to everyone before doing so.

So I didn't get very far into the story yet. I just became a spectre.

And it seems the whole Internet is out to spoil the ending for Mass Effect 3. I'm doing my best to avoid it.

by **HYRUL3** » 03.14.12 5:31pm

You and me both. I can't read any of the off topic boards on Kotaku anymore.

And I went through and talked to EVERYONE also. It pays off, you get more out of it. The lore is great too.

I've been absolutely hooked on the Fire Emblem games ever since I got Sacred Stones with the Ambassador Program. I'm playing through the 3rd(which is a remake of the first w/ a second story built in which is awesome) and I downloaded Fire emblem 7 on a GBA emulator and Super Robot Wars J at the request of my friend. So I'm hooked on playing strategy games right now.

I've also been playing plenty of Mass Effect 3 since I got it in the mail(granted I got it one day after release) and I'm loving every second of it. Right now I[spoiler]Just finished fighting on the Citadel against Bioware's pathetic attempt at a badass antagonist and saved the coucil from assasination and I now have Tali on my team[/spoiler]. So far so good.

by **Naner** » 03.15.12 4:28pm

Star Wars: The Old Republic is free to play this weekend. Go download it right now, because it'll certainly take a while to finish. No Mass Effect for the next few days, I think.

by **rondus18** » 03.16.12 6:17am

pssh, 20 GB doesn't take long to download at all. You just leave your computer running for a day or two and your all set.

What side and class are you playing?

Bitch, please. I downloaded it leaving the PC running during a single afternoon. I'll start playing it when I get home today.

rondus18 wrote:What side and class are you playing?

Not entirely sure, but I think (despite what my old screen name implied) a Jedi Consular fits me best. Since it's just a few days, I'm not going to be all serious about it.

Username is MetroidNaner, because Naner and DarthNaner were already taken. >.<

by **rondus18** » 03.16.12 10:32am

Oh I was just being silly, with my new internet connection I could download that in just a little over 2 hours.

Naner wrote:Username is MetroidNaner, because Naner and DarthNaner were already taken.

Yeah what the hell, rondus18 is never taken anywhere but apparently someone else really wanted that name for swtor.

Anyways, I believe you get to keep you character after the free weekend is up (since that's how it works for friend trials) so you can take it a little seriously if you want. Just make sure you pick a good server like Jung Ma, because Jung Ma is were all the cool kids hang out.
