I'm trying to find a copy of Phantasy Star 0

can't believe I put it off for this long

Anything non-Zelda.

Arkham City.

I should get Uncharted 3 along the way, too. Or Kirby, I don't know which one yet.

Nothing.

Tropico 4, RAGE, Battlefield 3, TrackMania 2, and replaying the two Uncharted games in prep for Uncharted 3.

Xenoblade,but that got interrupted by Arkham City. Don't know how motivated I will be to get all the Riddler trophies (i'm at like 300 of 440.) I'm back to Xenoblade.

This unfortunately seems vaguely familiar where I didn't beat FF 12 before TP came out, and I ended up playing TP all the way through then it took me years to get back into FF 12. I'm trying to make sure this doesn't happen with XB and SS, and am trying to get through XB...

I am playing Sakura Wars: So Long My Love right now but I seem unable to get in to the 'groove', for some reason.

Ah well I suppose I should try Deus Ex HR while waiting.....

 

[Pappasman]

What games are you guys playing while waiting?

The wait for this game has been rather unbearable :___: I just can't seem to focus on other games at the moment.

Ghost Trick, SSF4:AE, and I will be playing Sonic generations. I really want to play Minish Cap again before SS comes out though.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I'm playing Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Sonic 06
Minish Cap

Kirby Wii should be here tomorrow. Sonic Generations on Tuesday. Then Mario 3DS.

 

[kodecraft]

Playing Arkham City currently.

Kirby

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Just finished Arkham City, so I replayed Arkham Asylum to confirm my suspicions that it's better than its sequel. Now I'm onto Ico to make sure it's actually as boring as I remember it being.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Gears of War 3, Dead or Alive Dimensions, Kirby Wii, Guardian Heroes


Wait, did you mean in general or what, because that was just today

 

[Lunar15]

Been playin Spirit Tracks.

Man I love that game so much. Don't understand a lot of the hate.

 

[Thoraxes]

I'm doing NG+ on Overclocked because it's fun.
Oh shit, I forgot Type-0 is out today. Yesssssss.

Tales of Xillia (which is shaping up to be pretty good so far, btw), Solatorobo (Home), and Professor Layton & the Last Spectre (school/work, since people around me like to help solve the puzzles! I'm almost finished this though).

Kirby's reserved for after my lecture (+ nap) tomorrow. I think it'll be great to start the weekend with.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Playing Arkham City, I'm loving it. There are a lot of things it does better than Asylum and some things it doesn't. They are both awesome.

 

[Magicpaint]

One thing I'm really worried about it the stealth/collecting tears of light thing in SS. I dunno why stuff like this keeps being brought back in the Zelda games. I never enjoy them, at least on replays :\

 

[kunonabi]

Xenoblade and Donkey Kong Country Returns

Might squeeze in some Rogue Leader III and Go Vacation.

Xenoblade by itself will probably take me all the way to SS.

 

[Lunar15]

I don't mind it, however I do kind of find it weird that they're using the EXACT same mechanic over and over again. (And yes, I am aware of the irony in saying that about a long running franchise)

 

[watershed]

I think it will be funner this time only because Link is much more mobile/athletic and the level design should help too.

 

[ShineALight]

Finished Xenoblade, then straight to Dark Souls, then the plan is Zelda. Also finishing Cave Story, Overclocked and Darksiders when watching TV with the girlfriend. I should be able to have a clean plate by the time Zelda is out and I'll get to cross some games off of my backlog.

Going to try and squeeze in SML3D and Kirby too.

 

[braves01]

Green Stars in Galaxy 2 until SS comes out.

 

[Laughing Banana]

So any bets on who will become the first reviewer pulling out an 8 on Skyward Sword?

Green Stars in Galaxy 2 until SS comes out.

Oh snap I forget about Super Mario Galaxy 2. I haven't played it yet.... will it be enough to tide me over to Skyward Sword I wonder? Hmmm.

 

[Big One]

It's hard to say, 8 review doesn't mean it's bad necessarily. I think we should just guess who will write the worst review for Skyward Sword. However I think we all know that the worst written review will be from IGN.

 

[billy beane]

So since I haven't unboxed my Wii in months due to moving, I'm going to set it up tomorrow in prep for Skyward Sword, and play some games. Any recommendations

Spoiler

that are not Xenoblade

? I'm thinking about getting Kirby's Epic Yarn since it's cheap at Best Buy. Also, any must have WiiWare games? I think I've only bought like World of Goo and Mega Man 9 when WiiWare first launched.

Hahaha of course I am just interested in seeing the reaction of the more.... devoted... fans in regards to an 8 score.

As for IGN... yeah, that goes without saying.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Oblivion to get me ready for Skyrim and a bit of DKCR.

 

[watershed]

Unless everyone is watching themselves because of the UC3 8 score it will be ugly when some site gives this game an 8, and it will happen.

 

[Medalion]

8 is now the new 8.8

 

[Yoshichan]

So today I woke up after only getting 30 minutes of sleep.

Why? Because I keep thinking of this stupid game.

God damn, son. Zelda is BACK.

 

[Big One]

Well for Twilight Princess I think giving it an 8 or 7 is a fair score. I think this game will be a solid 9 unless it completely ends up blowing people away. Of course this is using my own scale which considers 10-6 to be various levels of good, and 5-0 to be various levels of bad.

Though no matter the actual score I think the game will leave a bigger impression on the industry than Twilight Princess did. I don't think anyone played Twilight Princess and ended up making a game inspired by that. Skyward Sword is the first game in the entire industry to be a competent, full-fledged adventure gaming experience using motion controls, and nothing will ever change that. People will follow in it's shoes if the game is actually successful in sales and reviews.

If the need be I'll whip out the ban hammer to curb juvenile whining once the inevitable remotely critical review stirs the fanboy hive. There really doesn't need to be another embarrassment like what we just went through, and I'd rather not give Destructoid material for another report.

I wouldn't worry about it, straight 10s, 9s and 8s will come out of this game

I say kill em all. Make a thread for a "controversial" review, wait a day, then ban absolutely everybody who posted in the thread. 100%, no exceptions.

 

[Medalion]

Trap threads, nice

I support this movement

 

[GLopez12]

I need this now.

Nyx Quest, VERY under-appreciated, though it is on iOS, but I doubt the most fun will be with Wiimote+Nunchuck. One of the best uses of pointer. They also say very good things about Lost Winds 2. Some of Art Style games are really good too.

I don't know about you, but I personally find them funny. Mama Robotnik's post in the Uncharted 3 thread was priceless, hahaha.

You can check these out and see if they're to your liking.

Contra Rebirth

Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth

Gradius Rebirth

Fluidity/Hydroventure

And LostWinds and LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias

The Bit.Trip games are also very good (though perhaps it would be beneficial to get the compilation of all the games on either Wii (disc-based, with leaderboards called Bit.Trip Complete) or 3DS(called Bit.Trip Saga)).

Isn't this your first Zelda game :b

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Uncharted 3.

and maybe i'll start new game+ on Arkham City.

or play through Uncharted 2 again while waiting for UC3.

oh and BF3.

 

[Yoshichan]

Isn't this your first Zelda game :b

Far from it, LttP is probably my most replayed game of all time and I've beaten 1, 2, OoT, WW and TP... so I'm not exactly new to Zelda but I'm definitely not dedicated enough to finish the other "non mainline" Zelda-games

 

[UltimateIke]

I do not see MM listed... You should fix that.

It's mainline!

This would be amazing. Two birds with one stone. Shuts up all the whining and crap. Keeps GAF clean.

 

[AniHawk]

i keep reading that as ban hamster.

Yep, never got the chance... I still blame the bad marketing in EU (compared to US)

Oh and the fact that I don't like playing Zeldas with same graphics engine twice <,<

That's too bad. You're missing out on the best game.

 

[Yoshichan]

That's a really good way of putting it, actually!

That's too bad. You're missing out on the best game.

The advertisement we got in Europe was scary as shit, if I wanted to play a scary game back then, I'd play Resident Evil!

... lol yeah all right.
