What are you currently playing?

[TheTampaCepter]

I figured that it would be cool to see what games our members are playing the most of lately. Ill start with a few I'm working on.

Disgaea-pretty much got everyone to around 1000, just trying to get stronger to take down the uber bosses.

Culdcept-been working on medals and going for my 150th win

Guardian Heroes-cool fighter on the saturn I have been messing with

Tactics Ogre-tough one to put down, Ive just started on this one

Games that I will start playing again soon are La pucelle and Vandal Hearts 2

[Novatron]

Right now, I'm working on Megaman Anniversary Collection, Final Fantasy X-2, and of course, Culdcept... I mean, seriously, was there any doubt about that last one?

[s6]

Still working on Culdcept, of course but recently started playing Castlevania - Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy V (again). I've also been popping Dual Hearts in every now and then.

How is Dual Hearts, s6?

After a month or so hiatus I've been playing Culdcept with a vengeance- 43 medals and 4 cards left to go, doing a lot of experimenting with wierd decks: (All scroll users, Gambling Deck,Moving Deck)

Me and fiancee' just beat FF9 together again, and then he showed me all of Dragon Quarter. I've been going back and forth with Soul Calibur 2 and thinking about replaying Lunar or trying Vandal Hearts 2. I tried to play it once, but couldn't really get into it.

[TheTampaCepter]

Vandal Hearts 2 gets really good around the middle of the game. At the start its kinda slow. S6, do you play the gba advance castlevanias as well? I think "aria of sorrow" is on par with csotn. I play it on visual boy advance so if you don't have it let me know and ill give you the "info"needed to play it on your computer

[WhoseYerLilith]

You know- as I think about it, I remember that the story was definitely getting interesting when I stopped playing. I remember that the beginning with the slugs was rather slow but after the guy grew up it started to get good...I think I stopped because it got really hard, lol (compared to the first one)...but I think maybe its time to whip that one out again...

[BahamutXero]

I have quite a few medals to go in Culdcept. So, I've playing that recently. I so need another Battle Gear Alpha though.

Additionally, I've been playing La Pucelle a lot.

Really I have not been playing much of anything but Culdcept lately, but when I have not been playing it I have been playing Champions of Norrath with my wife. Technically, I am also playing Kingdom Hearts (though by playing I mean I put it in about once a week spend half an hour getting beat up by the same boss I am stuck on and then giving up). Lately, I have also been doing some free for all matchs against bots in 007:nightfire and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun.

[Ignis]

I'm currently playing Tales of Destiny 2 (the real one, not Eternia), Spectral Souls and Okage Shadow King on the PS2, Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox, and Narsillion on the PC.

That's all !

[Stoffel67]

I'm more of a PC guy. I've been playing Knights of the Old Republic, which I borrowed from a friend. A bunch of friends and I are going to spend the 3rd and possibly the 5th playing through the new Dungeon Siege expansion, LAN-party-like. I also plan on bringing Culdcept to that; they have not yet been initiated. ;D

[TheSynapZe]

In addition to Culdcept, I'm playing Transformers (still slogging through Veteran mode, I don't even want to think how hard Commander mode is), Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu (nothing like devoting twenty hours of play time to unlock images of toys that I could have gone down the road to Kay*Bee and looked at for free), MVP Baseball 2004 (Why can't you be happy Randall Simon? I rescued you from free agency, played you at 1B every game for the last two months, bumped your contract up 300 ... uh, things a year. What more do you want from me?), and the Mega Man Collection (what did those people at Capcom remix Magnet Man's Theme into? Those monsters!). Basically what I'm learning is that other games can at times be as frustrating as Culdcept.

By the way, SeanXor, how is Champions of Norrath? I've looking for a self-contained fantasy fix since my D&D club went belly up two years ago.

[s6]

I wrote this once before on the boards:

Champions of Norrath is a fun hack 'n slash game (I have the PS2 version - don't know if it's available for other platforms) but it is not very challenging and you can probably play it all the way through in a week or less. As soon as I finished it, I started over and was halfway through again in a day or two. Then I bought Final Fantasy X-2 (same thing, there) so didn't finish it the second time. I picked up Culdcept a while later and put it in the console more often than any other game. (I like card games, and Final Fantasy VIII and IX are good for just playing cards, too.)

For engaging boss fights, I like Spyro the Dragon (Ripto's Rage is best for boss fights), Kingdom Hearts (Sepheroth still rules in my game!), Final Fantasy X, and especially Legacy of Kain Blood Omen 2 (almost all fights are boss fights in BO2 - good puzzles, too).

I would rate Champions of Norrath about a 7 or 7.5 at best. Not much replay value (same map, etc.) but fun while you're doing it. Puzzles aren't very challenging, either. You get to keep your character's level and weapons/armour/items when you restart the game, though. I used the male Dark Elf both times.

Which boss are you stuck on? Perhaps I can help.
