ISH Gaming Diary Thread
Every small gaming board needs a BS thread were you can drop you smaller gaming related comments. This is the thread were you post all your gaming related commentary that you want to post, but wouldn't be making a thread for. Keep your ISH buddies up with what you've been doing!
So essentially, this is the "What have you been playing lately?", "What game did you just finish?", "Guys, check out this cool/exciting/funny video", "Give me a little advice on so and so" and "Wow did you hear about X?" threads all rolled into one neat thread. :cheers:

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
So this past week I've been rummaging through the ultra geeky visual novel Katawa Shoujo.

The ostracized visual novel about dating disabled girls spawned out of 4chan (wow that sounds awful), which was just released a month ago after a 4+ year development period. Because of my innately geeky nature, boredom and curiosity because of it's substantial news coverage, I decided to give the title a spin. I've never played one of these visual novels before and was quite reserved coming into it, only to find that the stories are quite sophisticated and the music is pretty solid.
I liked it. If you like games such as Phoenix Wright and/or Anime you should check it out, it's totally free.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
I just finished Red Dead Redemption for the 4th time. One of the best games of all time.
Now I'm just waiting for Mass Effect 3.
-
Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
I'm waiting for Mass Effect 3 too.
I just played through Assassin's Creed for the first time. I have Assasin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, and God of War 3 waiting on the shelf but I don't want to start up any story-based games before ME3. For now, I'm keeping busy with fighting games Super Street Fighter 4 AE and UMvC3.
March 6 is a crazy gaming day for me. Three games that I planned on buying all coming out on the same day. Mass Effect 3, MLB 12 and Street Fighter x Tekken.

The Katawa Shoujo demo that came out a while ago was the first VN I ever played, I remember being pleasantly surprised by the quality. After that I read Saya no Uta and Yume Miru Kusuri, and that's about all the VN's I've read. Those two are really good though, if you're interested in another VN you should give those 2 a shot. I think Saya no Uta only took 3-4 hours to finish completely.
Currently I'm working through Lost Odyssey. I remember seeing a friend playing it years ago and thought it looked interesting, never did get it though. Finally picked it up in gamestop a few months ago, and started playing it a couple weeks ago. Really liking it so far, has a really good story.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
Currently working through Career mode on UFC Undisputed 3, with small doses of MW3.
Currently in Welterweight and working towards getting a title shot. My guy is a stand-up specialist, and I look to finish fights as early as possible. I wouldn't call my ground game a glaring weakness, and I can hold my own against most fighters on the canvas, but I love raining punches on my opponent. Not one of my fights has gone the distance so far, and I'm 10-1. :banana:

Eh sounds about right. I didn't care too much for the last two tales.
I might look one of those up actually, since I sort of want to refrain from buying a new game until I get my hands on SSX or ME3.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
So psyched for Max Payne 3, the game footage look insane! You can do 360 spins while shooting from prone position for god sakes.
Btw, GOW 3 and RDR are two game you just cannot miss.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
finally playing arkham city. siiiiiiiick game. my kinda action adventure in terms of puzzles and combat mechanics. and i usually don't care about this stuff, but i love the character bios - just seeing when certain villains and other characters came about in the original comics - tracing them back to the 1940's, 50's, and 60's...
alternating between that and pretty much all the pixeljunk games on psn except for the tower defense one. shooter, shooter 2, side scroller, and the platforming one.
fitting in some resident evil revelations on the side too.

I just thought of another game you might be interested in called "To the Moon". It does have some gameplay elements to it, but the focus is really on the story.

Been trying some of the games on the nintendo e-shop for my 3ds. Mighty Switch Force was great, unfortunately it's really short. Also got pushmo, that's a must have game if you have a 3ds. May get Kid Icuras later.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
just got done with mass effect 1. sticked with the stock shep and made a paragon soldier. the combat was kinda stale at first but as i got better weapons and attachments, the more funner it got.
the story was well worth the purchase and now i can't wait to get back into me2 and see how my choices will provide almost a new experience -- even though i beat it without beating the first.
gonna import my soldier to and infiltrator on me2 on insanity. after im done, ill import shep into me3 and go vanguard. prolly wait til bioware brings out the new ending since everybody hated the stock version.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
Finished a 58 Game season as the 94 Bulls in 2k12 about 3 weeks ago. Played 6 minute quarters to get it done as fast as possible lol. Will post some pics for poster Samurai Swoosh, who was asking about the game not too long ago:

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
I never completely finished Chrono Trigger when I was younger; so I'm doing an emulation play-through currently. Maybe it's just the old school gamer in me, but yesteryear's gaming > today's gaming.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
Sick Nevaeh now I want that game so bad. They even got the IX's on him.
:(
Even got the right length shorts / compression shorts.
Are they unlockable on the game? Does MJ shoot like how his form was in real life?

They got Jordan down pat. Fade away jumpers, ball handling, post moves, dunks, layups, everything. It's scary how much it looks like the real Jordan. Those guys at 2K know their shit.

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
I feel so game-less.
This year I'm only buying CoD if its a older timeframe, like WW2 or something.
Probably going to pick up Borderlands 2. Nothing interests me this year in terms of games....
Been playing Starcraft 2 mostly with some 2k12 thrown in, although I'm getting a little burnt out on 2k12. Might try to get back into NHL 11 for a bit.

Yeah,I remember thinking with 2k11,"Man, it's gonna take YEARS for them to top this!!", but lo and behold, they still kicked it up a notch. For Swoosh, a couple of things they improved on was making Jordan's turnaround Jumper a lot quicker in 12, as well as making the Ball arc vary from shot to shot. Like, if he's "hugging" the baseline on a turnaround, he will arc it higher, just like in real life. Also, the faces are more accurate IMO, even as good as 2k11 did faces the first time.
Also, Scottie Pippen plays more like "PIP" now, and not as much like a role player like he did in 11.You can "feel" how valuable he is roaming the floor on "D" just like real life. The only thing missing from 12 really, is Phil walking the sidelines (like he was in 11), but you'll quickly forget about it, once the action starts (for Phil Jackson lovers, don't worry, 2k11 can be bought between 10-20 bucks now lol).
All things considered, I've never had a game make me feel like a "kid" again, as much as 2k12 has this past year (Sonic Generations came close though).

I think you have to be a Resident Evil fan to like it and even then....it's just passable. It's just a standard 3rd person shooter. If you don't play with real people then it just isn't that good. You squad AI is some of the worst ever. I've only played through two sections of the campaign and it's only alright. The multiplayer was actually quite fun though. There's a cool mode where your 4 man squad goes up against another in a mission to get to the landing spot and wait for an escape chopper to get there all the while zombies are every where.
My score for this game is 6.5/10

Re: ISH Gaming Diary Thread
I'm falling behind on my playing list because I'm picking up loose games. For example, I never finished The Force Unleashed, nor did I play the 2nd game. My cousin was appalled. I was appalled he hadn't played Portal 2 so we swapped. Now I've got two more games to get through before I get back to my list.
Good problems?

Picked this up yesterday, but already kinda regret it. It's a great game, but it's just too similar to last year's game to warrant spending new game money on it. I'm not using the new Kinect stuff though which is obviously the main new feature of the game, so I shouldn't really complain about the basic gameplay being pretty much identical.
