What are you playing right now?

Nah. It wasn't the difficulty of Portrait of Ruin that bothered me, I'm not sure what it was. I think Circle of the Moon is the only game in the series where I really had to grind to get through it. I think I liked that game more than the ones that Iga produced... ¬_¬

Then again, I also really liked Simon's Quest and Castlevania 64...


I was playing Boodstained: Curse of the Moon on the 3DS the other day. It's pretty good, but there's definitely some challenge there, and I kind of wish I could play it on a TV. (plus, I have to change the controls, because my B button is about dead)


Mine was the very first game, on the NES. I can't remember if we rented it, or if Dad borrowed it from a friend.

I know I played Dawn before I played Aria, having borrowed it from a friend. I didn't like it that much, but I did at least finish the whole thing, unlocking most or all of the souls.

I liked Harmony a lot, but I thought they made it a little too similar to SotN (in a negative way), and they went a little overboard when they brightened up the color palettes. A lot of reviews for CotM said it was too dark, and I feel like they overcompensated on HoD.

^I meant that I found a leveling trick for Order of Ecclesia and used it. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm excited for Ritual of the Night. I thought I wouldn't be able to play it, but apparently it'll be released for the Vita.

Me too! Ritual of the Night looks great. I love Metroidvanias and it looks right up my alley. Now, I need to finish Hollow Knight still though... for some reason that game just doesn't click with me. Seems to have a lot more backtracking than is usual for the genre.

I'm happy that there's finally another female protagonist. [I'm still counting Ritual as a semi-Castlevania game.]

No confusion, I knew what you meant. I just kind of worded my reply a little awkwardly, I guess.

^Oh, I see. No worries.

It was a lot easier for me to get 100% ability completion in Aria. I'm on what might be my third or fourth playthrough of Dawn and I barely have 50% at the moment.

Playing "My Time in Portia" - looking forward to trying "The Universim"

Just got back from DMing a little AD&D. I really need to work on my boss battles...I always end up letting the players walk all over them, because I don't really know how any of the spells work, so they end up doing some wimpy attack instead and getting destroyed =|

I also get a little antsy because they usually end up fighting the boss right at the end of the night...especially if they were having trouble getting there, and I had to "speed things up" to begin with.

That's awesome. Which edition are you playing?

Myself, I was just playing a bit of Cuphead. Really challenging game.

2nd Edition, currently. I do some modern houserules though, like ascending AC + BAB instead of descending AC + THAC0.

And critical hits, of course.

Perfect Dark on a laptop, using the '1964' emulator.

Only playing on the lower-intermediate ('special agent') difficulty setting, but found the opening level to be a bigger challenge than one of the tougher Doom wads on UV. This was because of the large number of hitscanner type enemies, of which there seemed to be an unending supply at times, and also the presence of an inventory system for certain items, which I've found very fiddly and awkward to use.

Heavy Rain

I'm switching between Order of Ecclesia and Aria of Sorrow.

I’ve been replaying NieR Automata on my new psn account. Even though I have over 100+ hours (on both accounts) the game is still fresh and exciting! I hope to get a ps3 in the...NieR future to play NieR 2010 ;3

Yeah, PD is very different from DOOM. It's much less of a strafing-around superpower shoot-em-up, and more stealthy sneaking, zooming in from a distance with silenced weapons for headshots. It's definitely a much slower game, a different style of gameplay.

I've always thought the gadget controls were fine, but I always play on a real N64, with 1.2 control settings. Hold the B button, move the stick to your choice, release the B button. I assume you've got it custom setup for mouse + keyboard? (I think you mentioned that before with GoldenEye, unless that was someone else) I can see that being a bit more fiddly.

IIRC, you can also pause the game and get to an inventory from that screen, but I'm not certain. It's been a little while.
