What have you been playing lately?

[Smiley Cat]

I must be going through a crazy period at the moment, because for some reason I decided to play all the Resident Evil games (not including the awful spin-offs).

To put that in context, it means mostly playing the best possible versions of the originals followed immediately by the remakes.

So for example, it will go something like this...

RE1: Seamless HD - > Then the remake.
RE 0: HD remake (no point playing the original as far as I can tell - correct me if I'm wrong)
RE2: Seamless HD - > Then the remake.
RE3: Seamless HD -> Then the remake.
RE: Code Veronica: PS3
RE4: Ultimate HD
RE5: Gold
RE6: Gold.
RE7: Gold.
RE8/Village: Gold.

I also need to figure out how "RE:Revelations" fits into this. But you get the idea...

I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I didn't give it the proper chance when it came out but now I am thoroughly enjoying it after a long day of work. I didn't know you could give meat to the dogs in the stables and they would show you secrets.

Araiguma Rascal for the Super Famicom!
It's a puzzle game based on a '70s kids' anime that caused a raccoon infestation in Japan (look it up).

The game revolves around stacking all the matching boxes 3-in-a-row. The graphics are cutesy (reminiscent of Kirby's Dreamland 3 - my all-time favourite) but there isn't much else to this game other than that. The controls can feel a bit awkward and stiff. If you're looking to crush some time or have younger relatives then give this a try.

this game is so cute! i never know if it's difficult or i am bad

what i'm playing recently is, finally, Earthbound! I laugh a lot and love the visuals.

Currently playing Digimon World Redigitze for the PSP and on a emulator currently. Really awesome game so far, this is my Growlmon named "Huevo"

 

[Kyyo]

Currently I'm playing Final Fantasy Type-0 on PPSSPP. Pretty cool game, but really hard too. I'm too lazy for grinding but I probaly will need to do anyway.

 

[CRTRebel]

I am currently playing the first Galerians (PS1), a title that for some strange reason I found boring and predictable at the time of its release. Now, however, I find it a good game. Further confirmation that I am getting older!

I've had my eye on that one for a bit.
How "Rated M" is it? Just like mild violence and such or is it "FF: Pulp Fuction"?

Well it is violent for sure. But it doesn't has fanservice or things like that.

Im a huge fan of Tabata's games but have yet to actually play his passion project that is Type-0. It looks like it has a lot things I'd like but the combat never clicked with me for the few hours I played back when the PSP fan translation FIRST came out. Update us on your thoughts when you beat the game cause I'd like to hear more about it.

Feels like so many english FF fans got turned off from the HD version and never bothered looking into the rest of the game.

I have tried to get into that game like 5 times. I didn't like the weird RTS mode, and it was sometimes difficult to follow what was happening during gameplay because the English subtitles are up on the top right corner. Would you recommend the HD Remaster (idk if you have experience with it?)

If you play the seamless HD of RE1, you will be missing out on the dualshock version's showstopping soundtrack

 

[Kyyo]

Sorry, I haven't played it . But I'm only playing the PSP version 'cuz I didn't bought the game for my PS4. Probaly it's version is far better. The PSP version is really good tho.

I'm almost at the end of it now anyway. I'll be onto the remake soon, and then RE2 seamless HD after that.

Earthbound is great! Be sure to play Mother 3 as well. (just make sure Reggie doesn't find out)
The modern equivalent today is UnderTale (+ Deltarune). I think both games defined their era and hold up well today.

Densetsu no Starfy

Is this the version that’s just been released on NSO? How’s the translation? I loved the DS game as a kid and would strongly consider playing a ROM of this if the dialogue turned out OK.

 

[Octopus]

I finally bit the bullet and bought Space Marine 2, so I've been tearing tyranids and chaos marines apart with chainswords and impossibly big combat knives as a true Astartes should. Game's great, the PVP mode is a little bare-bones but the co-op mode is really fun so it makes up for it.

Retro-wise, I'm still going through the licensed Marvel games for my article series which has obviously been an ordeal, and am also playing through the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games for another article I'm working on.

As for things I'm just playing for fun, I've been playing some Resident Evil 2 as it's been awhile since I've gone through it- using the Rebirth mod, took a bit to set up but I'm greatly enjoying it of course. I'm also going through a beat 'em up phase too, been playing a bunch of stuff. I forgot how awesome the GameCube TMNT game was, based on the 2000's cartoon of course.

I snatched a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles DE when I fixed my Joycons so I'm having a great time reliving this game.

I think you're missing the clearly amazing Gun Survivor games in there, they're absolute classics and definitely not pure jank and terrible.

And yeah, there's no point really in playing the original 0 compared to the HD remake. It has more costumes than the original if you care about that stuff, and you can still play with the original tank controls so it really has everything the original version has plus more.

If you're going by release order, Revelations would be before 6- chronologically, I think it's before 4? It's always been a little unclear.

 

[MajesticSiN]

Been playing the Silent Hill 2 remake and I have to say that I'm surprised on how good it is.

 

[Smiley Cat]

There were parts of that game which really hit the heart stings hard.

I'm sure people who have played that game know what I'm talking about.

It is funny to troll people with the name of this game

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy PS2 and a bunch of other random games on the Game Boy.

PLAYSTATION 1 HIDDEN GEM ALERT: TRAP GUNNER IS AWESOME!!! I randomly discovered an eboot for this game on CDR a few weeks ago, never having heard of it before, and just beat the last character's campaign. Trap Gunner is like a mix between Bomberman, Metal Gear Solid, and Tecmo's Deception series (itself a hidden gem), with a healthy dose of late-90's grit and a truly excellent OST. Playing as one of six main characters, you engage in a series of one-on-one skirmishes in a top-down map, laying a variety of secret, invisible traps and trying to bait your opponent into them. All levels are fully destructible, there are loads of crazy items, and every character has both a unique ranged weapon and individual melee attacks. Gameplay is fast, hectic, insane, and a fat lot of fun.

I also adore the game's presentation. All characters are designed gorgeously – the artists clearly took plenty of inspiration from Aeon Flux, which is never a bad thing (and, in fact, always a good one) – with loads of personality, emotion, and flair across both in-game models and inter-level illustrations. The soundtrack is a heavy techno affair that's emblematic of the original Playstation and highly-reminiscent of games like Marathon, System Shock 2, and the harder tracks from Sonic Adventure. The plot is told narratively, like you're reading a book, and they get away with a crazy level of violence and sexiness. I love the storyline in its entirety, about an evil corporation manufacturing mutants and robots to overthrow the world government, with only our gang of spy-heroes able to stop them. If this game was a movie, I'D WATCH IT.

This game just became one of my new favourites for the PS1, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves challenging, strategic skirmishes. If you aren't convinced yet, just listen to the character select theme below and you will be. Now, if God is merciful, I'll be able to find high-quality rule 34 of Lou for... research purposes.

Been playing Baseball 9 on Android... I have always loved it, but now I decided to be stupid and took my Diamond-level team back to the Rookie III league.

The results? Seven games in, we have had two perfect games, two no-hitters, two one-hitters and one three-hitter. We have averaged 17 strikeouts a game, with some 35 runs and, so far, no opposite baserunner has ever stood further than first base.

It's a complete riot XD
