What Are You Playing (Winter 2012-2013 / Postapocalypse)?

[Diff-chan]

When isn't it?

Burnout Paradise. No Big Surf Island gives me sadface.

[Joust Williams]

Yeah. That's one of the 5 games I kept on 360 just for that reason. And Mirror's Edge didn't have the DLC either. Really pisses me off.

[AaronChance]

Mirror's Edge has the DLC on PC. Just not the steam version.

[Mzo]

That's only the Steam version because EA is shit.

[Joust Williams]

Necessary evil I guess. For all the hate they get (and some deservedly so), if you look at the games they've made and published this generation, it's awesome. Like all-time great.

[JBNagis]

Tried the Mark of the Ninja demo. that is a purchase for damn sure

[gameoverDude]

Ys Origin (PC): Attempting Nightmare mode with Toal this time.

Strania (360): Had a 4M score on the last run. Still working on the Normal mode 1CC.

A scoch late, but...

Skies of Arcadia blew.

I'm gonna let the obvious pun go and pretend that I didn't just read this.

Yeah, Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II came out nearly at the same time. I remember Official (or was it Unofficial) Dreamcast Magazine talking about it.

And it was good at the time. It would've been really good if it wasn't for the fucking encounter rate and spinning battle load garbage. The story was stupid, but it wasn't about the story, it was about the characters. THEY'RE NOT GENERIC, THEY'RE ICONIC.

Yeah, the encounter rate was obnoxious. Especially when scouring for discoveries. And it WAS all about the characters, not unlike the Suikoden series. Actually, Suikoden (I and II) and Skies shared a few similarities. I loved all three games, but the Suikodens were far superior.

[A Robot Bit Me]

Jak & Daxter via the HD collection. I'm missing fewer than ten orbs in every stage I've played so far. It's driving me crazy.

Diggin' it, though.

[Mzo]

I kind of hated Jak 2 and never played 3, perfectly mirroring my Sly experience.
