the "Currently Playing" thread.

Having a great fun with Criterion's Need for Speed: Most Wanted [PC] have some stuttering problem but so far it's still acceptable to me (my laptop's barely enough to run the game ). I like the game design and also its action elements. Have plenty of cars to drive, each of them have their own set of races although the unlocked upgrades are just the same. Too bad that there's no visual modifications for the cars.

I wish it has a bit of story with characters like the previous Most Wanted, but I can see why it wasn't implemented since the game's designed for multiplayer purposes.

Trying to finish Tales of Graces, but it's just so...bland. Been playing an hour or two here and there for months. The only thing keeping me going is my deep addiction borne from the glory days of JRPGs.

While I generally never play games on my smartphone, I recently got hooked on Star Traders, a space trade/combat/exploration game. Great throwback to the golden years of the 90s in that genre. Being able to see a leaderboard in as many categories as possible would be the one thing I'd love to see added (allowing you to opt in and out, of course). Actually, being able to see other people's ships and interact with them in some way (opt in and out), would also be pretty damn neat.

Finally taking a break from THE iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa -Funky Note-. Switched over to playing SD Gundam G Generation Overworld again. Finished World Core mode, on the final stage of World Tour, and getting ready to move into Over World mode. Currently have 84% of the unit collection.

Also gone back to playing Disgaea 3 on the PS3. I FINALLY made it to the Land of Carnage. I'm now exploring to get the higher rank items.

Fighting the urge to get any new games for a while. Though I'm being tempted to get some games off the game archives. I have the strongest urge to go back and play Chrono Cross and Wild Arms 2...even though I've quite literally completed those games. I actually took the time to get all characters on one game save for Chrono Cross.

what a coincidence! this is also where i'm at on Disgaea 3 Absence of Detention for the Vita.
i kind took a little break now, since all that grinding for level ups kind of burnt my mind.

[Kaihan]

World of Tanks mainly these days. Still need to work on Meruru/Disgaea 4 trophy.

I was on Planetside 2 beta. But after a patch that changed all my credits (14k) to nothing, I just lost all interest of the game.

Yeah, grinding for levels in the Disgaea series is a real pain, especially if you don't know what you're doing. I spent nearly 200 hours on the first Disgaea and I barely got Laharl up to Lvl.1000...but by the time I got the DS version I wised up and was able to level up Plenair up to Lvl.8000 with the best equipments possible in about 60hrs. When you can defeat Prinny Baal with a single character then you've probably spent too much time obsessing don't you think?

If you can defeat Prinny Baal with a single hit then...(is that even possible?)

Though the Land of Carnage truly deserves it's name in Disgaea 3. I thought that I spent enough time leveling up and gathering items but no, I was NOT ready.

Atleast I'll be kept busy for a while.

I wish that they'd add the Vita version extra storyline characters as DLC for the PS3 version.orz
If my memory is correct doesn't the Vita version have all the PS3 DLC plus more added features? Did that include the Rasberyl episodes?

wait a second. let me pull out my vita and check the two new character's names
and the DLCs.

oh yep, you pretty much get EVERYTHING from the ps3 DLC. Rasberyl's story are there.
i still havent finish hers yet. lol. you get two new characters Rutile (cat girl, fist user) and
a tsundere Stella; they're both nice edition. Stella has a 3x3 attack which is very
nice for levelings.

my class room is fill with DLC characters! there are like 20 something of them and i
still havent gotten all of them either. i think there are about 5 or 7 more... > >;

i'm training all of these characters to super powerful for now: Pram, Overload Prier,
Rozalin, Desco, Raspberyl, Stella, Galaxy Mage, Rutile, Mao, and Tink (the frog, lol).
i can tell you that Disgaea 3 looks great on the Vita. somehow i think that Disgaea
is much better on handheld and Vita version looks really great. ^^

i'll see if i can take a few screenshots.
EDIT: here you go.
my classroom of DLC characters. :P

...so basically it'd be cheaper to just buy Disgaea 3 on the Vita rather then pay for all the DLCs...assuming you have a Vita...orz

<- Doesn't have a PSVita yet

I wish I could add Rutile to my character list. orz
I believe her JP VA was the same VA that did Azusa's voice in K-on!...why must they torture me like that? Rutile = Azunyan

It must also be a plus since I assume that all the DLC characters have better equipment proficiencies then the generic characters. I'm also surprised to see the Disgaea 4 characters in there too. Who's next? Nippon Ichi-chan aka Nisa? (from the Hyper Dimension Neptune series)

*sigh*

(goes back to hitting the item world for higher ranked items)

*walks back in*

I just went back to watch the JP PV to find that the Vita version also had over 20+ BGM tracks added, character animation during conversations, use of Tera level magic, and so on...gawd, I'm seriously thinking about getting a PSVita for myself for the holidays.

...by any chance the save data of the PS3 version carry over to the PSVita? I really don't want to have to put all that time developing characters back in...orz

[Xefi]

^ sorry Shinku, looks like you'll have to start over again. but hey, you can try out
the extra story for Stella and Rutile first and get them. i think they're the only two characters
you can get first without having to go to the post game.

every others DLC characters require that you be in post game. Stella aand Rutile will helps a lot early in the game.
i think you can start playing their story in mid chap.1 or 2.

also, no wonder her voice sounded familiar. Azunyan as Rutile!

EDIT: no characters from Hyper Dimension, sadly. i'm gonna wait for the vita version of Disgaea 4 with all DLC if that
will come out someday...lol. anyways, hope you can get a cheap on sales vita during the holiday. Black Friday is coming up after all.

[blaze0041]

Progressing nicely in Pokemon Black 2 (DS), trying to make sure my party of six are around the same level.

[SOGESNAKE]

PS3: Finally convinced myself to pick up WWE '13, even though I completely dropped the show way back in 2006. Guess the whole "Re-live the Attitude Era" thing got me. Anyway.... played through Attitude Era Mode (probably enjoyed the Stone Cold chapter the most, not sure why..... he wasn't exactly my favourite wrestler back in the day). The whole "put Road Dogg through a table as Y2J to get yourself DQ'd in 4 minutes or less using a powerbomb as a special took waaaaaaaaay more time than it should've.... damn table physics. It's weird to say, but when I was playing through Attitude Era, I had compleeeetely forgotten that the current roster is in the game, only reminded when I went back to the prior menu and heard "Cult of Personality". All in all, I'm enjoying it more than WWE '12, but I still gotta say my personal favourite wrestling game to date is still WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007.

360: Got back around to Mass Effect, put it off to try out Halo 4 (no comment). I really do enjoy the exploring the universe thing, driving around on un-inhabited planets, Scavenging resources from planets, astroids, etc.... alittle dissapointed that they took alot of that out in 2 from what I've heard.

3DS: Still playing through Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, taking alittle longer than it should..... maybe I should stop switching between this and Paper Mario: Sticker Star until I actually finish something~

[synaesthetic]

I picked up RIFT again. I wonder why this game isn't more popular... there's such an incredible amount of stuff to do, no matter what level you are.

[Alchemist007]

Replaying Dragon Age: Origins.

[barcode120x]

I woulda picked Rift up but I had a pretty bad experience during their beta. Plus, I think their skill animations look so cheesy xP (when it comes to MMOs, I'm all about skill animations).

Currently playing DotA2, Minecraft (my bro got me addicted again xP), and SWTOR (not so much addicted to this though)

[Dextro]

I just picked up LA Noire and Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD on the cheap thanks to amazon and was trying them out and reaching the conclusion that I really need a new PC for the first. As for the second: I still suck at this.

But what I'm really playing is Gravity Rush on the Vita. I had no idea the game had this much charm. I'm still not very good at using the gravity mechanic for combat and speedruns but the main character is just too damned cute.

I just got that game via PS+, I was kinda drawn in by the demo, so looks like I gotta make some time for this one.

Been going back to playing Kami Jigen Neptune V since there aren't any games on my "MUST BUY" list of games.

Looks like it'll be the first game I get a platinum trophy on. Only need five more trophies and I've figured out what the conditions for four out of the five.

[Kelvykun]

I'm playing Persona 4 Golden and Tales of Graces f :3.
